Tandoori Ghar in St. Helens

Good place to go for a quiet meal with friends and family

If you like indian food it is a good place to visit

Good service but food small portions and not very nice, shame cos it used to be decent

Great staff and excellent food x

The owner is very friendly and helpful. They food is good, portions are adequate. It was very quiet when I was there, the owner said that since covid business has been much quieter. Pity, it’s a nice place run by a really nice man.

I used to eat here regularly some years ago and was always happy with the food. I believe the ownership hasn't changed but the food certainly has. I drove there as I wanted the Phaal I once had, as I loved its 7 chilli rating. However, it was an appalling excuse for a curry, barely above Korma strength. The pilau rice was closer to Chinese fried rice. So disappointed I couldn't eat it. If this is an example of what they offer these days, I won't be returning

Service was great! I was delayed in getting back for my order so the remade my dumplings. Everything was perfect. The Paneer dish and the Tandoori chicken was just wonderful.

We chose to go here for a birthday meal after reading the reviews and I can honestly say the food was fresh and hot but, the curry was tastless I ordered a sambar. The mixers with the drinks were flat and for what we had it was over priced.

The food was amazing as always, The staff went above and beyond so lovely we had a side of poppadms mixed kebab starter and onion bhaji between us for starters then I had the tandoori chicken tikka masala and he had a lamb buhna bith wth onion rice wiith a side of garlic naan and chips and it was plenty, would highly recommend this place

Such a lovely place food amazing, excellent service and would highly recommend this place for any event

Had a walk through st Helens centre last night. Walked past the palace balti. And it was rammed. No seats available. So we ended up going to the Tandoori Ghar. It was empty. Only us in their the whole time. The host was a lovely fella. Poppadoms to start. Nice. Onion bhajis was ok. Not the round balls. But flat ones. The wife got chicken shashlick more like chicken tikka. Didn't come sizzling. Small pieces of chicken. Small curry sauce. I got beef jalfrazy with keema rice. With a garlic and coriander naan. It was the smallest meal I've ever had. Could of ate it in 4 spoonfuls. And the naan was not cooked. It was doughy. They don't have any takeaway menu. He just gave me his phone number. Witch was strange. Only positive was they do beef. So if your hungry. DON'T GO HERE. ☹

I've been coming for 30 years. The food never ever lets you down. Cooked hot and fresh Owner is a great guy always friendly and chatty Longest lasting curry house in st Helens, yes there are bigger and posher decor but as far as food goes you won't find better in st Helens

Decor not that luxurious, but it has recently been renovated in some areas Don’t be deceived by this restaurant We’ve been coming for years and it’s always been the food that brings us back Great tasting curry , kebab etc all fresh homemade tasting Never had a bad meal The food here is simply amazing Decor isn’t 5 star …. But the food certainly is

Doing this review as I'm actually sat in the restaurant eating now... Well... What can I say.. Couldnt get a seat at ba'bursi for 2 people!!! So thought we would give tandoori ghar a try. Never been here before and can't get my head around why. It's the most nicest Indian food I've ever tasted with the best service ever. Can't wait to come back and would highly recommend. It's the best Indian I've been to in my opinion. Food is tasty and good portions, staff are fantastic. It's just a great place. Cant fault it at all. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

The best chicken bhubaneswar for miles around x

Absolutely amazing food, very tasty, great chefs, best Indian in st helens, lovely and cosy and friendly staff, I always look forward to coming back

Amazing food and very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. The newly refurbished family run restaurant looks incredible and tastes the same. Highly recommended as the best Indian restaurant in St Helens. We had a party of 6 adults and 4 children, everything was bought out together so we could all eat at the same time. The kiddies even had their own smaller portions of Tikka masala which the owner was only to happy to provide which made for a very pleasant enjoyable evening ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pouring coke from the bottle and charging £3 a glass, crap service, wouldn't let us leave making us wait 25 minutes for the bill, small portions, no sky sports, s**t hole

very good restaurant............................... u can come here and enjoy it . Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent. We have been going for takeaway food for the last couple of visits and that has always been very good. less

Nicest curry I've eaten in ages

Food was watery and luke warm at best. Only one person serving both drinks and checking on tables. Disappointed in spending £11.50 per adult and £5.50 per child when the poppadoms where basically the main thing eaten.

Horrible!! Partner and myself had diarrhea for next couple of days

Ok from the outside it doesn't look much and the inside looks a little dark. (first impressions count and all that...) But the service is excellent and affordable. Staff are very friendly and talkative and the quality of food is exceptional. I know someone on this site has complained about serving "crinkle cut" chips - Keep it up those chips are to die for. We come in here the occasional Fridays and always find a warm welcome. I use it also for take aways. Well done to everyone who works there. - Phil and Mark

We have been visiting this place since 1980. It hasn’t changed much but it is still a excellent place to go. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent. We have been going for takeaway food for the last couple of visits and that has always been very good.

Always a pleasure to go back to this famous city house

Lovely food and friendly staff.

Lovely Indian take away or eat in

Great food pretty place was empty

Been here for over 28 years good old fashioned indian meal never been disappointed excellent food and value still keep going again and again Shaun/Lynn

The food here is superb. If you can get past the decor (which leaves a lot to be desired), you will have a fantastic meal. As a family, we love a good curry and have tried lots of different places both locally and further afield. We always come back to the Ghar! Staff are very friendly and we always enjoy our food here. Highly recommended.

Please don't visit this place unless you want to be ill. The food is very poor quality and surroundings poor and in need of refurbishment. Every curry taste the same

This was the place we would stop in after a drunken night out in St. Helens many years ago . To be honest the decor looks pretty much the same . And the choice of drinks behind the bar includes brands I haven’t seen in years. The food however was fantastic and the choice was excellent. The chips may very well be crinkle cut frozen . But do you really go to an Indian restaurant for chips ??.The portions where just right and couldn’t fault any of the food we had .so even though it looks a bit dated I’d recommend a visi

This place has got to be swerved at all cost. If your hungry go and forage in the nearest skip, you'll get a much better meal. The service is disgusting also. Despite the cack that was served to us ( which only one die hard ate ) I ordered a jug of mango lassi. It was served fulll of ice ( not blended ) and when I questioned that it tasted of banana the horrible scruff told me he bulked it up with banana!!! What ! I couldn't believe it. It didn't even have mango in it. And just to rub salt in the wound when I questioned him he told me I've already complained about the food The tramp didn't even knock it off the bill even tho I didn't drink the stuff , thankfully ! Coz looking back in hindsight I'd probably still be on the bog So unless you want colonic irrigation, give this place a miss !

This has to be the worst meal I've ever eaten. I've eaten at many many places before but this place just loves the drunken tasteless people that walk past. I expect to be sat on the toilet in the morning.

Went again last night, could barely see straight but had an excellent chicken chat and the Tandoori butter chicken was champion as always.

Después de encontrarse con un viejo amigo para unos cuantos botes decidimos un curry sería para rematar la noche. Yo no tenía preferencia particular a donde ir, así que cambiarán a su recomendación del Tandoori Ghar, ya que había estado allí en varias ocasiones y dijo que lo tenían siempre una buena comida.

Soy un tipo lonely, sabes el tipo... paseos por colibríes en bendición biblioteca todos aquellos a mi alrededor. Así que imagínate mi intelectual stuper, cuando me encontré el Ghar... me perdí una noche, en las calles oscuras de la expansión de la Sint de Ellen. Cuando me encontré con las luces de neón de Ghar, ahorrando de una muerte segura a manos de la cresta y sin pelo que para infestar la zona scoundrels.

Visitar con familia y amigos, todas nuestras comidas eran perfectos, grandes porciones!! Y muy buena relación calidad-precio, muy limpio como me colocaba en cocina para solicitar algo de la chef, organizada y impecable, nada es demasiado problema, personal muy amable y el director, pero siempre una cálida bienvenida, y la comida es muy buena.

Esta es la peor casa de curry en los que he comido nunca. No sólo la comida era mala, el lugar estaba sucio. Yo me hubiera desalojado si mis amigos no insistió en que la comida estaba bien. Comí pollo Baiti, bien lo que debería haber sido re-llamado pollo en un desastre con tapaderas! No regresaré, en el lado positivo, patatas de Bombay estaban bien!

Had a lovely meal tailored it to what I wanted, extremely good value for money and impeccable service and a genuinely nice experience especially from Helal

Comida muy personalmente no me puedo quejar, mejor que un llevar y muy abundante, el personal era muy servicial y fue todo lo que se puede esperar de un indio para llevar , picante comida y muy acogedor.

2 Popadoms, prawn purée,onion bargy, beef madras, lamb jalfrazi, pilau rice and nan bread. Two bottles of wine all for £50. Friendly staff if you don't try to walk out without paying lol. We go here often and yes it's not the best looking Indian but the food is second to none.

Got recommended this place, went in got lamb tika masala, got Home opened the box to see a thick layer of see through grease then my curry underneath. I stirred it up and it stayed the same. I poured it out over my pelow rice when I asked for boiled and tried to eat it. It was horrible greasy discussing mess waste of £10. I really wish I took a photo, stick to balti spice or vindaloo express

Worst indian iv ever had tasted better out of a jar,i got vindaloo wich was like spicy soup i asked them to change it they did the 2nd attempt wasnt much better i was then told by the owner if i didnt like that it couldnt be fixed! What a joke,luke warm food,took ages to cook,most of customers were unhappy and conplained also naan bread was paper thin like a pitta bread,and burnt vindaloo wasnt hot in the slightest and the owner was the rudest person iv ever had serving me,didnt like the customer feedback and was arguing with us about the food,we refused to pay for such poor standard and he locked us in and rang the police! To wich we missed our lift home and had to wait around arguing with him pointing in our faces calling us all sorts then about 20 mins later he realised thw police had better things to deal with and let us out! False imprisonment and worst curry ever had and customer service.avoid this place at all costs im warning you !!!

Often visited this restaurant, one of the oldest curry houses in the town. Great staff, excellent food and service? Highly recommend this place.

I've been coming here for a curry since I was 17 I'm now 35 , the Decor has changed a little but that's not really what matters , the food is top , it really does serve the best curry and nothing is too much trouble for the staff or manager and they will make it just how you like it , this is a true Gem and the only place to eat curry !

The best curry house in town by far! Okay, admittedly the decor isn't the greatest but you don't eat that...what you do eat is fantastic authentic food to die for. The wine list is crap but if you ask, they have more selections of wine in the fridge/shelf to pick from.The service is also very friendly. We wont have a curry anywhere else...10/10

I love it here, been loads and never been let down. Admittedly on every occasion I have entered this establishment I have been relatively close to passing out but it has hit the spot each time. It always puzzled me why the chips were red until someone pointed out they were 'tandoori' chips, the chef should get a michelin star for that invention alone.To be fair it is a bit run down but I wouldn't have it any other way, if you like good curry, excellent service, flock wallpaper and bright red chips the Tandoori Ghar is well worth a visit. Its cheap too, always a bonus.

We were in St Helens to attend a gig at the Citadel. We don't know the town so spent some time looking at various restaurants that were open. None really appealed to be honest, however we wanted a curry as we thought that would be the "best of a bad bunch" option . We popped in to the Tandoori Ghar is the menu looked tasty and the prices were good. Yes the decor is dated and it has seen better days. However the food was very good indeed and the staff were great. Excellent value. The wine , in particular, was drinkable and well priced. Don't let the decor put you off- give it a try.

It's no surprise there have been no reviews of this place. Right before people say I've been or was an avid fan of this place years ago. Yes you heard right years ago.The food in the early 90's was proberly the best in St. Helens for an Indian. Sad to say this place has gone down hill quicker than cheese in Somerset. The place lacks atmosphere and is dirty. The kitchens are rough and not what should be expected from a restaurant, that's first hand experience. The carpet I think was bought from Crystals Nightclub now closed down. The toilets are no better than you find in a park, smelly and unclean. I am surprised that the council have not closed the place down, I think they did once. The staff are a credit to this place but that's it. The chicken tikka was the best in town once and the curries were great. NOT NOW Sorry honest opinions hurt but hopefully the owner will read this and progress getting this place back to where it was.Finally it caters mostly for drunks late at night not a place I would want to take my wife to. Rating very poor

I'm amazed there have been no reviews of this place, I have visited a fair few times and lots of local celebs eat here, it's very quiet early doors but becomes busier as the evening rolls on, the food is quite tasty and the staff are very friendly and tolerant with people in the early hours but well worth a visit, the decor is in need of update but after an evening out !!

Not so sure about the freshness of the curry base. The kebabs and appetizers are good though.
