Admittedly it’s been a Few months since I had a take away meal from here but Thats because I prefer eating in, however, was really missing the fresh tasty flavours and I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks to Ali and the team for excelling yet again.

Yet another excellent takeaway tonight. Consistently good curries, loads of variety, polite staff, lots of special offers. People reading poor reviews need to remember disgruntled folk are more likely to leave a review than satisfied folk! Try for yourself. We’ve used them since 2015, even had a curry from them for Christmas lunch this year!

We have always had lovely meals from here but in January we ordered and were kept waiting 2 hours with no apology! Decided to try again tonight (June) - this time 1 hour 15 again with no apology (despite being given assurances it was on its way). Bolshy delivery staff too who tried to charge extra than the price on their app!!!

Sadly this restaurant is currently only providing take away - but this is just the second meal from here and we cannot fault the quality or quantity. I collect as we are well out of town and it is easier than trying to explain delivery instruction. Once they are allowed to reopen as a restaurant then I am sure we will be making a visit.

We just placed an order over £50 with these and they delivered the food over an hour later. When we went to get the food out of the bag the food containers were open and splashed all over the bag. The curry was everywhere with no hope of salvaging any. I rang Sufian and asked if they could replace the curries which had arrived the way the had. The man on the phone was very rude and told me it wasn’t there fault and there wasn’t much he could do.. he eventually said he would redeliver the food but it would when they had chance too.. we decided that we would prefer a refund. They told us that we had to “walk down and get your money love” we live a 20 minute walk away. He eventually agreed to give us a refund at some point during the night. A delivery driver came to collect the food and then informed us that Sufian wouldn’t be giving us a refund and we had to go through online customer service. We was then told that we were not welcome to order from there again. We had done nothing wrong and was treat horrendously from this rude takeaway. Boycott at all costs. ELACH IS A MUCH NICER INDIAN IN GAINSBOROUGH ALL ROUND

A good old fashioned Indian providing proper curries for all tastes. They don't sell wine but you can take your own for a small corkage fee which is superb. Plonk a box of Cab Sauv down and away we go. Just kidding. Veggie curries are especially delicious and the Tarkha Dhal is very luxurious. Worth a visit.

We get takeaway on a semi regular basis and would not get Indian food from anywhere else in Gainsborough. The food is always top notch and we have never had a bad meal.

Being unusually just myself, husband and the baby we decided to do something different for Christmas dinner. We considered going to the restaurant for the festivities but had a teething poorly little one so the restaurant took our order and delivered us a banquet. The food was so hot we had to give it a minute but so tasty. We ate like kings and thoroughly enjoy every bite. Amazing service will bend over backwards for you. Highly recommend. Think I will be disappointed to go back the traditional dinner next year!

This is a delight of a restaurant. Very small and located close to Marshall's Yard, the staff could not be more helpful. On our latest visit, we arrived an hour early at 5pm (they open at 6). They welcomed us in, sat us down and took our orders, despite gearing up for a massive anniversary party they were catering for that evening. The food was delicious, including mild dishes such as Lamb Mudhoo and Korma to cater for those who don't like the fiery spices. One delicacy you MUST try is the enormous Naan bread, which towers over the table like one of those gigantic Formula one trophies, and is absolutely delicious. Service was swift and friendly, but not intrusive, and we left absolutely full, warmed and feeling like we had been treated as special guests. The bill was only thirty pounds for two meals, starters and drinks, and the quality was top notch. Very highly recommended!

My friends and I have been eating at this restaurant for about four years now. The food is consistently very good and now that the restaurant has a license to sell alcohol it really is a great place to eat. The waiting staff are very attentive and Mohammed in particular is a real asset to the restaurant being pleasant courteous and engaging. If you're in Gainsborough and fancy a curry I can thoroughly recommend this place. Hope you find this review helpful ?

I am loath to write this review as, we had our wedding reception and my 50th birthday there and it was wonderful. But we visited last night and went with my sister and her husband 2 Saturdays before, a sign said on entrance book a meal for 4 get a free bottle of wine, it seems that is only if you tell them when booking about the wine. The starters as always were excellent, but my prawn curry if I had 3 king prawns I would be surprised and my husband said the same of his Lamb Jalfrazi, several side dishes were extremely small maybe 3 piece of potato in the Bombay potato and the bill came to just short of £100, drinks do make a difference. Last night the food was just as bad and the sign said 15% discount if dining up to 7.30pm, I had to argue that we didn't have to leave by that time just get in. But we did get the 15%.. Starter again brilliant main well lamb was tough and gristly. Although the service and the guys there are really nice, now it is a pay bar I think we will go back to the Moonlight sorry guys.

Excellent for a couples meal on a Friday or to go with the children, two of our children really enjoy Indian food and one of them is not so keen, that's not a problem for Sufian they make the best Indian food with fresh ingredients and spices AND they make healthy delicious chicken fillet nuggets and even cook baked beans, so we can eat there as a family and our children get to experience Asian food that they really enjoy, whilst our son looks forward to the visit too. The food and service is really excellent. We have travelled all over the world and the menu here is holds its own.

We ordered our takeaway treat for delivery and paid by card over the phone. When it arrived we were missing items and on phoning to tell them they told us we could have them free next time, the takeaway was not at all cheap actually for what we received it was extremely expensive and so we told them we wanted what we had ordered they told us it would be an extra 30mins or an hour. In actual fact the missing items arrived 2& a half hours later.

I've been here before when it was different staff running the restaurant, and couldn't fault the staff at all! But tonight the staff were eager to get us out as fast as possible, we felt rushed.

At one point I was eating at Sufian on a weekly basis; they serve some of the best curry dishes in Lincolnshire. The menu offers traditional dishes and some great chef's recommendations. My favourite starter is their mixed grill, for main the Shimla Chicken with a side of tarkha Dahl and garlic nan. The owners and waiters do a good job in looking after the customer.They don't have a licence but you are welcome to bring your own drinks and there's no corkage!Only downside, they don't have very many covers downstairs; although there are more tables upstairs the ambience is not quite the same.

Had a meal here as part of a group on Sunday night. The food it self was quite nice plenty of meat and flavour. But unfortunately our male waiter got our order wrong twice. I felt as the service from that guy fairly poor, he was blunt, fairly rude when we questioned our naan breads. To be honest his service and mannerism was poor, and the best bit I went outside for some air and over heard him on the phone talking about DRUGS! I felt disgusted knowing he was taking drugs and dealing with our food! Completely unacceptable behaviour for staff.

We used to go to and have takeaways from Sufian regularly. I think it's recently changed hands and unfortunately it seems to have gone well and truly down hill.

We popped in once when our previous favourite restaurant changed hands and have not gone anywhere else since, we eat here once a week sometimes twice-- it is that good. The only reason we not reviewed it earlier is we wouldn't want too many people knowing about and not get a table!!Go! you will not be disappointed.

Have been here several times but last time went here with family to celebrate a birthday. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. There were quite a few of us but all the food came out together so no one was waiting while everyone else was eating. The prices are reasonable and they don't charge corkage for taking your own alcohol, which you need to do as they don't have a licence so only sell soft drinks. Would certainly recommend.

Well..What can i say. There are times when you visit the smallest towns and find the biggest golden nugget ever. Last Saturday was one of those occasions. Having driven for 5 hours from home (Brighton, East Sussex) my husband and I were starving. My brother (who we were visiting) was in charge of booking an eaterie. This was duly done based on the recommendation of his friends. The Sufian Indian and Bangladeshi Restaurant is not the biggest restaurant but by gum it packs the biggest culinary punch. i am no aficionado of Indian cuisine, most of it being too hot for me but the food here is cooked EXACTLY as you like it. Wonderful!!!! Full of flavour, cooked to perfection. The staff are very friendly but not overbearing. It was brought to our table in a timely fashion and all linen and tableware were spotless. (as were the toilets). Let me finish by saying the prices were more than reasonable on a very varied menu. I just don't know how they do it. All I can say is I can't wait to drive 5 hours to visit my brother in Gainsborough so I can indulge myself at this restaurant again...and again...and again..and again

As the restaurant does not have a liquor licence you can take your own which makes the whole evening very inexpensive. The portion sizes are plentiful and all of us enjoyed delicious dishes.

Frequently visit here. Often find visiting the restaurant is far more enjoyable than the take away. Wonderful staff: engaging, quick to attend to needs and very pleasant. Food, well I can't fault it. For a very fussy vegetarian I'm more than satisfied with the variety of food available and the quality of it. Highly recommend the Vegetable Biryani! Love the freedom provided by the option of bringing your own alcoholic beverages, though Sufian does provide soft drinks. Great service and great food.

Booked last week early on in the day and got a text back asking to ring the landline when the place opened, which I did, confirmed a table @ 19:00 with our "taste card" so my wife and I travelled the 15 miles only to get there to a locked up and lights off building no answer, no one around and no phone call or text no explanation at all, I texted back the mobile number as it never answers asking for a reason why we had traveled and wasted our evening but funny old thing nothing in response, so in short not impressed at all.... Not be doing that again!!!!

An hour and 15 minute round trip from where we live and waiting for takeaway. Menu really appealed to us who have indian cuisine regularly. The best dish by far is the chicken naga but unfortunately the two others we tried the chicken madras tasted odd with a lot of tomato sauce and the suffian special did not taste as described in the menu. Staff very pleasant and restaurant itself very light and decorative food just not for us.

Five of us ate for a thank you meal. The service was excellent and we were met at the door with a smile! The food was amazing and for a first visit we were very impressed. I am an indian novice but the flavours that came through in the food were fantastic. B y o drinks a good idea. The price for five with starters and mains just under £70. Will be back. Thankyou!

It closed down over a year ago. So there is no point in visiting somewhere that is no longer open. There is no sit down Indian in Caistor. Best option is the White Hart pub for good honest pub food.

Uaually a go to for an Indian take away but last night meal has left us very dissapointed we ordered Pasanda which was bland and underwhelming. Pilau rice which was just plain boiled rice no seasoning. And poppadoms that were all broken. Not sure what went wrong as usually the food is amazing.
