The Chef & Food South Indian Takeaway in Sefton

1st time collection order, really busy appeared to be short staffed for how busy it was. Collection time was 8:30 but waited an extra 40 minutes, appeared to be a mix up with a couple of orders causing the delay. Food is exceptionally good, very tasty and big portion sizes. Chips are actually fries. Will definitely return and would recommend.

Fantastic service and food, highly recommended!

Delicious food and friendly staff, will definitely be returning

Since Ali left this place has gone down hill. Third time now we have ordered a take away and they have forgotten something. Last year on my birthday meal out we waited an hour for service. Foods okay but never using them again. Went from the best in a ten mile radius to the worst. So sad!

Formerly known as Nasib Tandoori on Kew Road in Birkdale, this Indian take-away has new owners and a new name - The Tandoori. (I believe it is now owned & run by the people behind Kasturi on Eastbank Street in Southport town-centre.) On entering, I particularly liked the view through to the kitchen - giving me confidence in their offer. Selecting from a smart and comprehensive menu, I ordered the following: King Prawn Danchak (£9) Mushroon Rice (£2.60) Aloo Gobi side dish (£2.75) They advised me waiting time was 30 minutes and the food was ready in about 25 mins. All dishes were enjoyable. Decent portion sizes and good prices. The King Prawn dish had 10 large prawns which were very tasty. I asked for my vegetable dish to be made hot and they got this right. All in all it was pretty good and I`ll be back. Main course chicken curry is a very reasonable £4.75 & boiled rice is £1.65, so you can eat from here without breaking the bank. Free parking directly outside the venue, on the road nearby, or across the road. PRO TIP: ring ahead to place your order on 01704 568637. If you collect and spend £15 or more, you are entitled to a portion of pakora & poppadoms for free!
