The Banyan Tree in Hambleton

Just had an Indian delivered to our lodge from here and it’s one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had, amazing, hot, generous portions *****

Some friends in The York pub recommended this take away. Having lived in London most of my life and been spoilt for choice with Indian restaurants galore, I've got to say this place was excellent. Ordered chicken balti and chicken tikka saag and it was up there with the best. Breads were excellent and starters amazing. I will be back and I'm sure this will become a weekly favourite. 5 ⭐️s from me.

The onion bhajis are amazing !! The curries were distinct in flavour and really tasty. I asked fir one extra hot and it tasted of fresh chilli and not granular like extra chilli powder had been added Great !!

Bloody awful full of water dont waste your money on this no flavour i guess everything is frozen wont go again four prawns in a madras !

Excellent local Indian takeaway with a wide selection of meals. We have never had a bad one.

Become far to expensive will go elsewhere !!

Had lovely takeaway from the banyan tree and had it delivered to our holiday lodge. They were big portions and the food was very tasty. I would recommend this takeaway.

All three different mains had crazy amounts of food colouring (so bright you could probably see them in the dark) and very bland sauces. The vegetable curry featured cabbage as its main ingredient and the lamb curry needed cooking for longer to soften it up. The aubergine side dish lacked flavour. Edible but disappointing for the relatively high prices.

We ordered dinner here last night but had to throw most of it away. It was bland, lacking any sort of flavour except for the way too sweet buttered chicken. The Onion Bhaji’s were okay but that’s as good as it got. The Saag Aloo was at least a day old if not two. The young lad behind the counter was nice but the overall experience was one to forget.

Great takeaway. We have a holiday let and lots of our guests comment on the food and service. We haven't had a bad takeaway yet. Worth every penny

Gosh, delicious real curry. Excellent and friendly service. Love every meal!

I ordered a chicken madras and three chapattis and I think these may be the worst I've ever had. The chicken was processed and had the texture of rubber. The chapattis were soggy as they weren't wrapped in foil. I Will not be returning.

We decided to use this Indian as they delivered to the site we were staying at and the reviews in the quest book were good. The meal arrived quite quickly and there was plenty of it, however, the food itself was poor. The starters of the chicken and veggie chat puree were tough. My chicken tikka bhuna sauce was tasteless although there were good bits of chicken in there. My wife's vegetable biryani was very bland and she was unable to finish it. We both had bad upset stomachs following the meal resulting in the last day of our holiday being spent inside. Given the good reviews, we expected so much more but it was not an enjoyable meal.

After having ten years of using the BT, this past weekend's delivery will possibly be the last. A Tandoori Butter Chicken was delivered and comprised some of the worst chicken meat I've ever seen in a curry. What meat there was (2 pieces at best) was hard chicken leg end/foot with poultry hairs visible in the meal, certainly not breast as advertised. My partner was retching after one bite. A great shame that the standards have slipped so far.

I have just polished off most of a perfect Special Vegetable Biryani and from nan bread from Banyan Tree, Market Place, Easingwold. Everything about it was excellent and the staff were very pleasant. I normally go for a meaty Chinese but this year I thought I would have a change. I 100 % recommend this place and will definitely be back. The only reason I didn't finish it was because there was so much. Well done guys.

Very nice Indian takeaway, good quality food and ingredients. Really friendly staff. Would return if in the area. Recommend for Indian takeaway.

After a long day walking around in York, we decided that a takeaway was in order. The Banyan Tree looked good, so we bought one from there. I had my usual Chicken Tikka Masala (don't judge!) and it was immense! Loved it!!

Food great best takeaway in the area, Service is excellent thanks

After we picked up our takeaway on Monday 29th August 2022, we tucked into a feast of onion bhajis, poppadoms, samosas, and three curries. I can comment on what I personally ate, which were: Poppadoms: unfortunately they tasted rancid Onion Bhajis: Very dry and hard, and didn't give the impression of being fresh at all. It tasted and felt more like it had been made yesterday or ealier and reheated and consquently overcooked. Shame. The flavour was ok, but still, was disappointed. Lamb Karahi: Again, the impression was that this had been prepared and reheated and was way overcooked. The sauce was good - it was indeed a tasty curry, but the lamb was way overdone and dry. Garlic Nan: You can't really go wrong with that, can you? As expected. Not very garliccy, though. All in all, a decent enough curry, but nothing to write home about, or indeed, to repeat. Perhaps it was because it was a bank holiday. If I try again mid-week (I live abroad, so don't hold you breath), I will update.

Great takeaway, excellent portions and great taste. Very impressed would order again.

There isn't much open in the area in a Monday night so we got a takeaway from here. It was really tasty, and it was nice they do smaller portions as I often find it far too much.

Absolutely amazing royal mughlai chicken out of this world!! The best Indian meal I have ever had 👌👌👌

Wow! Best Indian I’ve ever had royal mughlai chicken absolutely spot on 👌

very nice very cheesy very good satisfied customer. will order again. would be better with more cheese.

Our first dinner from here and 1x veggie Bhuna, 1x veggie Pathia and 1x Tarka dhal were all perfect... the mushroom rice was ok but the Mumbai in Kendal's was that bit better. 🤷🏻‍♂️ A very nice meal though, so we'll be back. 👍

I’m very sorry but if this is what curry tastes like up north then I’d stick to making your Yorkshire pudding . Ordered 2 Currys - both like flavourless soup with no flavour and no body to them and it came with frozen French fries to make things worse. Can’t fault the environment - spotlessly clean and health conscious staff .

Disappointed. Ordered chicken tikka mint and lamb bhuna. Dishes contained little meat and a lot of large pieces of onion and peppers. Was not very nice. Would not recommend. Sorry.

Has got to be one of the best takeaway restaurants we’ve ever ordered from ! Beautiful food & cracking service ! Any chance you can move to Derby, as we’re on holiday here 😂

This is a fantastic Indian Takeaway. The food is out of this world and very quick. The staff are very friendly and approachable.

By far the best Indian takeaway in North Yorkshire. Very busy when we visited on the weekend. Service and food were top notch.

Ordered a set meal and wanted to change one of the dishes to a hotter curry and the guys happily obliged. They even recommended a dish to try too, which was delicious. 5 Stars for great food and service.

Felt sick just after eating onion bhajii like bullets, and weird tasting biryani and veg curry sauce... I had a disturbed, bloated uncomfortable night. My niece was 'up early' paying a 'visit' and has done a number of times too since. The biryani rice was really oily/greasy and so was my peshawari Naan. Never again... My nieces Malai Chicken... The sauce was 'dayglow' with colourings

We often call in at the Banyan Tree for a takeaway on a Friday or Saturday evening. We tend to be creatures of habit and go for the Set Meal for 2 People. The great thing is that they let you change the main courses for something different, so we tend to pick different things. The set meal gives excellent value for money; two mixed kebab starters with onion Bhajis. The main course is two main dishes, Tandoori Butter Chicken and Lamb Tikka Bhuna, although you can swap these as already mentioned, Saag Aloo, loads of rice and a plain Naan Bread. There's also popadoms and a selection of various dips included. Usually this amount of food lasts us for a couple of meals as there's just so much of it. The staff are great and can always make something a bit hotter or a bit milder on request. They also have a loyalty scheme where you get your menu stamped every visit and you are then entitled to a free meal on the 9th visit.

Excellent quality and fab, unique taste. Value for money. Well presented. Very filling. Lovely fries. Good priced meal deal.

Last time I was in Easingwold I did not go to the Banyan tree due to some poor reviews. That was a mistake. The food was amazing. The Service better than any Indian Takeaway that I have been to in quite a while. The free Naan bread was an unexpected treat. Well done Banyan tree.

We have been coming here for years and we couldn’t love it more! Can’t wait to come home to get a butter chicken :) the staff is so so wonderful, always so kind to us

Been going for years, never been disappointed. Consistently good, and definitely not worth the one stars dragging this score down

On a cold winter's day, the windows were steamed up, the place was well-filled with locals. Tables are somewhat crammed together. The staff were constantly busy consequently service was brisk, verging on brusque. The food was adequate - nothing wrong but nothing that set it ahead of the competition. Words such as 'adequate', competent' and 'functional' come to mind.

Great tasty food and willing to tweak to your taste if required

Very busy when we visited but service and food was excellent.

It is a great takeaway and the staff work tirelessly

Awful food. Put me off buying Indian food for 5 months. Mainly huge pieces of chopped onion and rubbish lamb. Will never use this takeaway again.

worst curry ever. Had 2 supposed to be different only difference lumps of red pepper in one. Base sauce bland and tasteless chicken hard. Would be better of with a jar from tesco

Order take out to be delivered and the food was great, reasonable price and was delivered when they said it would be delivered. Curry was very tasty!

Worse Indian meal we’ve ever had. It went in the bin. It was watery onion and tomatoes mainly water the chicken tasted odd. There were no spices. Compared to the last meal we had from there which was outstanding, we were very disappointed I think the need to look at the consistency of their food and sack the chef/cook who worked tonight If they can’t cook a decent curry the what can be said 🤮

Phoned order through and went to pick it up as advised. Service extremely pleasant and food was a tasty takeaway.

Ordered a takeaway for 7 on boxing day night, all the food was delicious and really tasty. The delivery driver was lovely and delivered the food at the time stated, we will be ordering again soon.

Got a take away Christmas Eve. Even though it was very busy the service was still good and food was produced fast. Tasty meal at a good price.

I ordered a take away tonight for the family. I ordered chicken tikka masala which contained LAMB?! I do not eat lamb and was totally horrified mid way through my meal to find out that I was eating it I knowingly. I noticed there was also a lamb option on the menu but did not know there was a combination of chicken and lamb!!!! Menu is misleading and I have never known this particular dish to contain lamb when it was supposed to be chicken. So upset :(

Bought a take away from here the other night. Was a good meal, good on price and quick service. Will be returning again.

Rang up to ask if they delivered to our village. They said yes. They took a delivery address and when we got half way through our order told us they couldn’t deliver it. When we asked why no reason given. Oddest customer experience I have had for a while. My business will be going to the Jaipur in future.

We regularly drive a 16 mile round trip to pick up a curry from Banyan simply because it’s the best for miles around. The menu is extensive and all the dishes we’ve tried have been exceptional. It’s very good value for money, especially with the loyalty stamp system and portions are very generous. Friendly, delicious and highly recommended.

Rang with an order for two and was told 20 minutes and true to their word it was ready on time. Friendly staff threw in a couple of popadoms as we left. We didn’t go for anything really hot but what we got was in rich, creamy sauces. I don’t understand the comments of other reviewers who found the food dry and tasteless - they certainly didn’t have what we have. There was plenty of lamb in the pakora and plenty of chicken in the butter chicken. One portion of special rice was more than enough for the two of us. There was plenty of parking close by to allow for our pick-up. A good meal - we’ll be back

Take away food only. lovely food suitable for all. Something for kids, fussy eaters, veggie and meat eaters. Never had a bad meal. They even supply food for bbq if you let them know.

Yet again another dry, sauceless curry!! We've tried so many different takeaway curries from this place, its our nearest Indian takeaway but won't be going back. They just bulk up their food with mountains of onions, all meals taste the same - and whatever you order there is no creamy sauce just dry 'curry' its like they've put pots of cornflour in the dishes, if you warm up in microwave later you end up with a the of Indian takeaway stodge - waste of money!!!

Consistently good food. Great service. The service is excellent, home delivery no charge. Highly recommend

Had takeaway last night and it was awful. Onion bhaji were burned and hard, had to throw away. Chicken tandoori had not been in oven let alone clay oven.... Not even proper chicken. Only good thing was sizzling prawns.

we ordered a take away from The Banyan Tree while on holiday at Birdforth Hall. The food tasted great - all different levels of spice were ordered and everyone was happy. It was well priced, you got plenty for your money. Good Value. The curry took about 25 mins longer than we had hoped to arrive.

Incredible. Each dish incredibly well flavoured, full of good quality protein and beautifully flagrant.

Hemos tenido muchas familia tome del Banyan Tree y han sido siempre encantados. También es nuestro 'ir a' cuando tenemos amigos con poca antelación ya que siempre sabes que tendrás una fabulosa cena, trajo a nuestra puerta y podemos disfrutar de la noche en vez de apresurarse a preparar la comida nosotros mismos. El curry siempre son consistentemente deliciosa y conservan sus sabores individuales. . . . . . Demasiado a menudo, en algunos otros lugares los sabores tienden a entre en uno, pero no aquí. Volveremos más pronto!

My husband and I regularly get takeaways from the Banyan tree, and it is outstanding. The staff and friendly and three food is delicious. The also offer a loyalty stamp system which keeps us coming back.

These guys have great food and delivered it to us at Baby manor hideaway Glamping. At no extra cost highly recommend them.

I absolutly love my Indian treat never have a bad meal. Service is always fantastic and never have to wait long for my order.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a el Banyan Tree, tiene una entrada muy pequeña, pero limpia y barra, pero ya que sólo se sirven comida para llevar que no tiene que ser grande! Que merecidamente tienen una clasificación de 5 estrellas de seguridad alimentaria. Yo tenía una Makhani de pollo con arroz de huevo y una chapatti, el tamaño de la porción es bueno (grande) y sabroso. También tuvimos un shashlik de pollo que era igual de bueno. Por desgracia, la dos chapatti es que tuvimos fueron poco hecha (todavía pastoso en medio), una pena, ya que el resto de la comida era excelente. La factura total llegó a £21,00 , no un completamente excesivo precio por la calidad. Sin duda volveremos.

Never had an Indian burger before but we loved it....full of flavour, nicely put together and absolutely delicious!!

La elección habitual de menú de comida para llevar en muchos pero la comida india es siempre excelente con un servicio amable. Aunque tratamos de saborear comidas diferentes personalmente soy un poco aburrido y normalmente tienen mi misma elección de tandoori de pollo Tikka - sólo preferencia personal. Nada malo con el resto de las comidas en el menú.

No se puede superar el Banyan Tree comida india o de coherencia. Hemos sido clientes por muchos años y ahora es consistentemente bueno. Sólo tomar siempre - por desgracia pero tan bueno! También brindan si es necesario.

The food was average, the service was good . But the eating experance overall let down by having to climb into a booth to sit down.

A fantastic chicken balti. Hot and tasty as always and not kept waiting too long for our takeaway. Great service from the lads there. Always a friendly welcome on arrival.

Had take out, chose simply menu, onion baji, Jalfrezi and rice. It was deliscious and there was plenty. Very Good, would return again.

Sadly, this place is not what it was. Very disappointing meal. Compared to other places close by. Expensive for what it was.

Got to be the worst food i have ever had delivered rang them to tell them my feeling about the food did not offer a refund but asked if i would like another meal and said i could come and get a meal free of charge next time

Well we think so.Good selection of dishes and always nice and hot.We've been saving the stamps for a freebie so keep going back there, good marketing ploy!They sometimes get things wrong or miss something off but they are very good at sorting it the next time if you let them know (too far for us to go back)Definitely recommended

The Banyan Tree is a takeaway not a restaurant but well worthy of comment. It is located off the Market place opposite the Post Office and has a 5 star food rating. I have had a Madras dish which was medium hot, full of chicken breast with. An a good portion of pilau rice, I also had an excellent garlic naan bread at a reasonable price. The second time I visited I had a very good Chicken Balti which came together with naan bread and pilau rice. Again full of chicken breast with onions, green and red peppers. Quality meal. On both occasions I was given 2 lovely crispy poppadums.i have no connection with this business but highly recommend it. Also I recommend Trip Advisor also rate Food Takeaways. In addition the staff are very friendly and knowledgable about the food they offer.
