The only thing letting this little place down is the delivery service. We waited 3 hours for our food after ringing two times she did apologize I did understand it was the weekend but that's a long time to wait. If they solve that problem out it would be a fantastic place because their food was five star think . we really enjoyed it and we'll be going back again but this time I'll order then go pick it up 😂😃

Delivery service!!! What delivery service? 40 minutes late and still not arrived, their excuse, difficult to get delivery drivers? It's a real shame because the food is lovely, I recommend the food, never had a bad meal but delivery lets them down tremendously. Not sure wether I'll have another one from here because of the delivery service, very very poor.

First time trying Masala Box tonight, food was incredible. You can taste the fresh chillies etc and it looked like a sit down restaurant meal on my plate. Collected and only waited a few minutes, nice talking to the friendly staff, family run business and will definitely be going back 👏🏻

Went Good Friday, ordered on phone for 6-30, we arrived just after and the food was just about ready. The food was some of the best we have had (there were eight of us) every one tried bits of everything, everyone impressed. I had the Bombay prawn biryani, excellent. Lovely people. Recommended.

Fantastic takeaway. I ordered off just eat to collect, they phoned me to check an item on my delivery, so I got the correct item. It was ready at the agreed time for me to collect, the staff were very polite and chatty. The meal was very nice, especially the onion bhaji. It was still lovely and warm when I got it home. I will be going again and will recommend to friends. Thank you

Order collected… told I had to pay cash but they had just taken an order with card payment over the phone! Very rude and just pointed in the direction of the cash point! Online ordering offers 20% off but it wouldn’t allow me to order and they refused to honour the discount. Rude, unfriendly staff and looking into the kitchen it’s absolutely filthy!

Ordered over just eat app so paid upfront. After waiting for 2 hours I called the take away to see where my delivery was. Their response was rude and abrupt and told me if I wanted my order I would have to come and collect. I informed them I had 2 small children in bed and I couldn’t. They continued to say I had to collect so I cancelled my order. A hour later they tried to deliver at half past 11 at night. I informed the driver I’d cancelled the order over an hour ago and sent it back. They then had the cheek to mark it as delivered on just eat. Still awaiting my refund 4 weeks on.

Ordered online via just eat. Waited an hour and a half and had no communication and no food. Rang to ask and was told I had to collect. Never been the same since they were taken over. Food has gone down hill. Won’t be using again. Shame as it’s a small village and I’d like to see small businesses succeed. Would not surprise me if they are shut in 6 months !

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED I do not recommend at all. I place an order at 9.30 pm and recieved order confirmation within a couple of minutes stating that they will start preparing my order as soon as possible and that they had taken the money out of my bank. . However, i was very disappointed as it got to 11.30pm and my order still hadnt arrived. The restaurant itself shuts at 10.30pm so i decided to ring them. After ringing the restaurant around 20 times i had no reply as the call kept going through to voicemail. At the end of it all, i am £30 out of pocket and have no food. This is absolutely appauling. Do not recommend at all.

Previously ordered from this takeaway once a week atleast until the last two times our order has been accepted, we have paid, waited and no order has arrived! Always recommended this takeaway when friends and family asked which Indian takeaway was the best. Absolutely appalling service. To think we actually thought it was a one off and ordered again tonight, to not receive anything!

We live down the road from here and use them regularly, at least twice a month if not more. The curries are wonderful. We're huge fans of all the food from here. The mixed kebab is another personal favourite. As we live a minutes walk away, can't comment on delivery. Will always recommend this place!

Would give a 0 if possible…order food before 5 as a pre order and told it would be delivered at 6:15 long time for a preorder on a Tuesday night okay. At 6:30 I ring up to chase the order and told it was out for delivery now…another 30 minutes and the order arrives. When opening the bag to get the food out 2 containers with liquid sauce have leaked absolutely everywhere but not only that the entire order was wrong! So another customer must be having the same issue as us! After waiting 2 hours since ordering understandably we don’t want our food now just a refund. However that seems to incomprehensible to everyone involved multiple offers of free food next time we order?! Why would I order again and how do we know that promise is going to be kept when the only thing I have repeatedly asked for a refund it has not been given! Between multiple people in the store and the delivery driver the phone has been passed between them all yet no conclusive has been reached. I will continue to ring up and go into the store until I get my refund I have paid £30 for a service that has not been provided! I don’t often post reviews but this has got me so angry and thing it’s disgusting behaviour to just brush paying customers off!

Ordered my takeaway at 5pm, didn’t arrive until 7pm and had to meet the delivery driver as he couldn’t find the house. When it did arrive, the order was incorrect and spilt all over the bag. Rang up to complain and the woman couldn’t understand a word I said so had to send the delivery driver back to speak to speak to me! That never happened so I chased them again. They refused to provide me with a refund for £30 worth of food I didn’t receive. STAY CLEAR.

We were so happy with our takeaway. I initially rang to place the order and the chef noted the order but struggled a little to understand. A few minutes later a guy rang back to confirm the order and he was very professional and welcoming. The order arrived on time. We noted upon serving that the naan was missing, and before we could ring, the delivery man was back with it. The food was delicious and the the staff super helpful! Couldn’t ask more from a village takeaway. Thanks!

Moved to Tibshelf a year ago but hadn't tried the local Indian as it didn't look very inviting from outside, however last weeks snow forced us to stay local and how pleased we were! Ordered two starters, curries, rice and naan and all were fabulous, cooked fresh, delivered hot and 20 minutes early, which for a Saturday evening was amazing service. Will definitely be using regularly from now on.

Rang last week to let them know that when we got home and put food out the chicken madras was watery and that the rest of our £30 order was ok. Man on phone said he would replace the madras when we went in again. Today, when we returned and gave them more business, he denied that there would have been a problem with the madras, that it is meant to be runny (!). Eventually he allowed us the refund of the cost of the madras - through gritted teeth. Lack of customer service skills I believe.

Been using here for 6 years. Will no be using again after last night. After ordering £35 worth of food for delivery then taking over two hour to arrive imagine the disappointment in all our food having a strong soapy taste. We couldn't eat any it was disgusting. Upon ringing manager he got very angry called me a liar said he tastes every single food item he sends out. Hmmmm. Then called me a liar and got aggressive. That's a regular customer you lost and a complaint to council you horrid abusive man.

Absolutely terrible service and communication. Food was never delivered and my money was taken. Restaurant refused to speak to me regarding my request for a refund and told me they did not want to discuss it and hung up. Luckily I used Just Eat who were very helpful and got me my refund eventually. Waited over 4 hours and called them to confirm 3 times, 2 of those times my order ‘was minutes away.’ Appalling service. Will never order again which is a shame as it was our regular local Indian. Please consider this before you order from here!! No food is worth that hassle. We will be using elsewhere in future. I hope the man on the phone at the restaurant (assuming management) I spoke to learns some manners and customer service skills soon. Disgusting. :(

DO NOT EAT HERE! staff are awful. We had a delivery done by them and it arrive wrong. We tried phoning the place 40 times and each time it went to VM. In the end we got in the car with our curry and drove there. On arrival we explained that the order was wrong and could they make a new one as the whole order was now cold. They refused saying there was nothing wrong with it. We explained again that the order had been wrong and as we had driven to them the whole meal was now cold. They refused to cook us a fresh meal so we were left without a curry as the owner began to get aggressive and even rose his hand to me. All after paying for the meal and delivery and even tipping the driver. DON'T RISK THE WASTE OF MONEY!

From king prawn dhansak to king prawn masala this takeaway hits all the right flavours.Plus I couldn't fault the guy who takes the orders, he remembers exactly what you've ordered from the last weekend.I don't know about you but I have a job remembering what I did two days ago. That's real devotion to your job. I can strongly recommend the bombay aloo ( Indian spiced potatoes), cheese and garlic naan, peshwari naan and my brother and mum inform me the chicken tikka masala is to die for. I'm a pescetarian so I'll have to take their word for that! I live in Essex but to eat such delicious fare it would be well worth the 300 mile round journey. If you like Indian type cuisine this is one takeaway you need to visit, preferably more than once.

Now called Ghurka spice. Gorgeous food lovely service and the chef even came out to check we were enjoying our meal and he’d got it right. 2 poppadams between us and then we share a starter, main, rice and bread. With 2 alcoholic drinks it came to £37.50. Recommended
