Food is not nice at all. Curry was greasy, the naan was flatter than a chapati and the dhall was just water with herbs floating in it. I will not order from there again.

We've been ordering from here for quite some time now and never been disappointed. Food was amazing, always lovely fresh garnish. Tandoori lamb chops were to die for.

Organised a family meal, each adult meal was different and each adult rated the food top class 10/10, ordered the food over the phone, everything was perfect, arrived on time and was hot, definitely use Spice essence again- well done !

Ordered food collection was down as 6.45 I didn’t leave until 7.10 could hear them having a good old chin wag in the back. Got home half of the food is burnt and the poppadoms are dripping in oil. Hardly any meat in the curry. Rice over cooked I’d of excepted a long wait if the food was good This isn’t even okay it’s poor at best...... First and last meal here personally I’d avoid. A waste of £30 disappointed is an understatement. Posted some photos. AVOID AVOID

Terrible. Disgusting. Joke. We ordered a delivery sunday night at 7.30pm ish. While we were eating our cold, watery, tasteless curry I found a long thick black hair wrapped around a piece of chicken. My partner rang to complain and the person we spoke to acused us of putting the hair in the curry. I have long blonde hair! He said that if we could bring it back ourselves her would cook us a new curry. Why would we want another hairy curry? Disgusting service. Disgusting food!

Waiter very friendly polite and welcoming. Good was taseless horrible rubbish. Onion Bahji starter looked like it had been bought from Tesco and thrown in a fryer. Next..the main. Prawn Rogan Josh..the sauce tasted of nothing..Guessing it did appear that someone had raked a few prawns out of the freezer..mixed them with a jar of supermarket sauce until the prawns where defrosted and heated. That would have watered down the sauce to the equivalant of a cheap soup. To accompany the dish was rice and French fries..straight from the freezer of course..some cooked..some not ! We where the only customers in their. We didn't eat our meal. We drove home and cooked us something. But we did pay the bill. We also told the poor waiter the reasons why we would never be back. Horrible horrible yuk.

I have tried and tested various Indian eateries around the local vicinity and by far this is the best. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and even tailor your curry to how you like it. I usually go for the mixed starter followed by the chicken mekhani which is done with cheese in the sauce which is absolutely delicious. I've never actually made it to pudding as i've always been full up from the appetisers and main. The price is excellent for the portion size. This really is a little gem and more people need to know about it - they also offer takeaway and delivery and are on the usual just eat apps etc so share the word!

Nicely laid out restaurant with very welcoming staff but dire horrible dishes that are non authentic.Upon arrival of the menu , I spotted that the Dansak had cream in it, so I asked the waiter if it could be prepared without cream [ Its a Persian dish by origin and contains no cream ] , he said it could. I ordered it , absolutely terrible , the worse I have ever tasted and I have eaten curries since 1974! More garlic than a bolognaise , the garlic over powered the whole dish and of course it came with the Wigan trademark , the obnoxious canned pineapple ring. Nobody in this region uses fresh pineapple or bothers to dice the rings.Whilst my son liked the tikka masala , zombies wouldn't drive me back here. Absolute rubbish!

Been twice now, top class food and good service. You can see your food being cooked if you want! I like vindaloo's, l didn't realise you can have the food made as hot as you can handle. If you like Indian food you'll not beat this restaurant.

Food was awful. Samiwool the waiter was rude and had a stutter. He spoke bad English and sometimes spat in my drink. Robbywool also couldn't speak English so I had to use Google translate when speaking to him when ordering my food. Food wasnt cooked and the drinked had greeny's in it. The restaurant itself was really untidy.I advise not going to this restaurant. Go at the risk of getting ill.

We had the set meal deal which is available Monday to Thursday 4.30pm - 11pm which is £9.95 per person. To say this was a meal deal the food portions were generous food was tasty & nans were nicely made. Disappointed that they do not do lassi would have complemented the meal

visited on new years eve with family, we had never been here before and it had been recommended to us. Unfortunately the restaurant was busy, and there didn't seem enough staff on. However in saying this they absolutely couldn't do enough for us, we even got a bottle of Moet free, as we did complain about the amount of time we were waiting. The food was really good, and the staff very friendly and efficient. The long wait for the meals definitely wont stop me from going again, as the food and service made u for it.

It’s the perfect place to go and have a family reunion with staff being polite and welcoming with looking professional and well organized during work. The wait for the food wasn’t long with the food being presentable and the taste of the food was excellent. I recommend everyone to visit with not having any issues the last few times we’ve been and it’s always being constant with its delivery. We for sure will be coming here more regularly.

My mum booked the back room for my baby shower which we was told held up to 40 people. There was one staff member between us all to take our orders, bring out food, then had to take food back due to it being cold and being wrong, then he was expected to clean up after we had finished even with other staff just standing around this poor young lad was made to do all the work on his own hats off to this young lad you was amazing and he couldn’t apologise enough to us. I think he was called Harold young lad and so polite no issues what so ever with him as a staff member. The poor lad was then made to tell us we had to leave for half 4 even when people were still eating, people hadn’t received food they ordered and children waiting on their desserts. They had booked another party in after us and they was made to wait there was no give time inbetween us and them. We was rushed out of the room and kicked out having to try and get balloon stacks down, gifts in the car and to be out the room ourselves. When my mum spoke to the manager on shift he was very rude when she asked if he was the manger was blunt and said “yes who’s next” my mum hadn’t even told him the issues. Wouldn’t recommend if your booking for a large amount of people.
