The Pabna in Staffordshire Moorlands

Pabna gets it right every time. Whether you want mild or spicy, they have all bases covered and curries I’ve never heard of but are willing to try. Never miss an opportunity to pop in when I’m staying. Friendly and hospitable staff plus the big naan and flavoursome dishes are a winning combination. If you stay in Leek, don’t miss this gem.

We visited for my hubby's birthday. On arrival rhey very kindly put up a birthday balloon and banner for him. Lovely gesture but that was the only good thing along with a polite waitress that served us. Curry arrived piping hot and did look delicious, waitress did her check after just one mouthful so you couldn't really say if was ok. I personally had lamb balti, meat was hard to even cut. And to chew was impossible. My husband had chicken tandoori and asked before he decided was it off the bone and was told yes. His bite was chicken cartridge. Then followed by bone chippings. Needless to say he couldnt eat it. He took a bite from his keema chilli nan and it was coated in chilli powder and again couldn't eat. He enjoys hot food with a kick but this was red hot. The rice wasn't cooked correctly. Chunks stuck together. When we informed the waitress the food was inedible. They said you can have 25% the manger said. Yes obviously we need to pay for the drinks. But paying for food that was eaten is not I would say good customer service. We had high expectations from this curry house. Travelled to go but we won't be repeating this dining experience again.

Best curry in the area by far! Amazing food and great service 👍

First time visit on our daughter's recommendation, and we pushed the boat out a little. Poppadoms, mixed starter (recommended), two rice, two naan, two curries, too much for us! The food was excellent and served piping hot, service on point. Definitely worth a visit.

The food was delicious and the staff is very friendly! Wonderful choice of authentic Indian dishes for a great price

This spot is great for a family meal. The service was very attentive. As soon as me and my family walked through the doors we was greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. We was recommended some new items from the menu which we went for the honey tikka sriracha madras it was amazing. Was complimented by the bangla beer. Would recommend highly.

Came here for a family meal. Service was great, especially Lucy and Ashanti. The food was great too. It was my birthday and they even sorted me out with a birthday drink and put up a balloon! Will be returning :)

Amazing food recommended to us by our server, food was quick to come out and tasted amazing, highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

Worst curry I've ever had. Chicken carcass in Balti, tough lamb Balti. And chilli naan which hah so much chilli powder on . So I had a great birthday meal.

Lovely meal as always, service from As was great. Thank you!

Had the best meal in a long time the food was delicious the service and staff were so helpful and nice and recommended the best I would recommend the lamb tamarind it was wonderful 👍👍👍👍

Delivery on time didn't enjoy the chicken korma Chicken pieces two big would be far better with chunk size chicken than big pieces and look warm not hot

Tasty food. Authentic taste. Great portion size

Without doubt the very worst meal I’ve had. And I’ve dined in many Indian restaurants in the world. Service was ok seating cramped stuck in a corner with an adjoining table 12” from next table with a couple of unruly and rude blokes. Never again.

Just excellent service whether eating in or a takeaway.. Food is absolutely top notch.. 😋

very disappointed. Took 90 minutes after ordering for the food to be delivered. All food was cold and curries were both oily.

Delicious food at a fair price and good service. Would recommend

Great food. Great service. Lovely place.

Took nearly two hours for the food to arrive!! My kids ended up really grumpy, having to wait up for food until almost 10pm. When it came the curries were mostly very bland and tasteless, and very greasy. I ordered a peshwari naan and it tasted like a regular naan, which was very disappointing. Not worth the wait or the huge expense! Don't recommend.

We ordered on line 2 hrs before delivery at 7 unfortunately I had to ring the Pabna meal arrived nearly 15 mins after total 45mins late Food was not very warm rice was under cooked onion barji was awful hot Onion bar ji was over spiced very hot

Fantastic curry, really great food. Delivery was late but I rang the restaurant and they chased it up and were very helpful and nice.

Mainly use for take away so can't judge atmosphere. Service and ordering online brill. Prices and quality excellent

Lovely staff , delicious food . Highly recommend . Very welcoming and attentive, can't do enough for you. Fast service and you get to watch your food cook while you wait!

Great food every time. Been coming here for a few years.

Excellent service by Ruhel. Really enjoyed food.

Very accommodating staff. Delicious food. Traditional soundtrack. Classic

Always my go to when I’m home from the US and wanting great Indian food. Family owned, friendly and always a warm welcome and the food is always excellent and beautifully presented.

This is the first time we have had a take away from Pabna. When it’s a new place there is always apprehension about what you may get. But oh my goodness I have never tasted a meal as delicious as we did from them tonight. The portions, the quality and the taste of the food were exceptional. Easy to order on line, prompt service and the delivery guy was so lovely too. Huge shout out to Pabna and we’ll be back and your quality will be shared with many. Thank you x

Couldn’t eat it, wasn’t the best

Normally excellent but tonight the chips and curry were cold and the rice was like mush. Not the usual standards

Fantastic food & speedy delivery

Everything was spot on and the food was excellent

Beautiful fresh food. Excellent service. We are regular customers and always have a wonderful evening at Pabna. Highly recommend

The app shut off before food was delivered but the food was amazing and we will be ordering again but we will also allow for delivery time as the food was fully worth it

We ordered take aways and the food was diabolically disappointing. I’ll never buy there again. The meat was burnt and the garlic naan break was thick and burnt

Amazing food and the portions were off the chart. Really helpful and attentive staff. Lovely restaurant too. Highly recommended.

Great food and delivery. Very happy will definitely use again

Delivery man was super friendly and patient as our directions were rubbish! Food was lovely!

Food was delicious.. well enjoyed

first order with Pabna and it wont be the last, delivered exactly at time given, good size portion and food was delicious. Excellent, loved it

Ordered a takeaway from this restaurant before 5pm. The order was accepted, and allegedly "cooking" for 45 minutes before the restaurant rejected it with no warning or reason given. A shame, because the food is usually excellent. Edit: 15 minutes after leaving this review, I recieved a call from the restaurant to state that they're not sure why our order was accepted, as they don't deliver to our area. This has not been the case with previous orders to this address from this restaurant, however...

Excellent food and service. Nice to go somewhere where they have more than 2 or 3 staff out-front so you don’t have to wait for drinks etc. Great value for money and that’s all we’re after really.

Great meal with generous portion sizes!! We even ended taking some away in a takeout box. Lovely waiting on staff 😊😊😊

Wonderful meal tonight, best service ever!!

Amazing food! Fast delivery and brilliant service, will definitely be ordering again!

I ordered was looking forward to my chicken Korma, unfortunately it was very pale and tasteless hate to day it but Aldi jar korma sauce is nicer .

Very small portion sizes compared to the Black country, or Birmingham, so expensive if you like a lot to eat, however the food was nice. It was delivered to a remote holiday cottage, so it was a little cold when we eventually received it, however it was a 5 mile trip for the driver, which we appreciated. No complaints with the quality of the food, very flavoursome.

Some food was much hotter than expected, but well cooked and large portions. Driver pleasant and polite.

Great curry, extra poppadoms & dips. One of the bits of chicken in starters wasn’t cooked properly.

Not ordered for a while but can honestly say the tandoori masalla was dreadfull very bland and absolutely tasteless. Tasted like a chicken soup from a tin. Onion rice swimming in Greece. Not usually like this. But compared to the other curry houses they need to up there game

We had a wonderful night with extremely tasty food - topped all off with a cake for the birthday boy! Get yourself to Pabna’s

Lovely atmosphere and wonderfully warm and welcoming staff.

We’ve eaten in at Pabna many times but the food we had delivered last week was really disappointing. The breads were awful, Naan was stodgy and doughy, too dense. The paratha was greasy and the purri was dry and chewy. The lamb was over cooked, dry and tough, as if it had been reheated. Will not be ordering Pabna takeaway again.

Wonderful attention to detail had a birthday meal tonight found a balloon and decorations at the table on arrival all staff friendly and helpful with allergy info too

Deffinetley the worst curry I ever had . It was bland , absolutely bland , almost water like . The chicken was hard as a shoe and my coconut rice had massive lumps of sugar (not coconut) in it . The chicken was supposed to be tandoori, deffinetley not , it tasted Microwave heated . I will absolutely avoid this restaurant

Very friendly staff, food was delicious and the price was very reasonable considering the quality. Would definitely come back.

Flavour was good, but the order took 1h 30mins to arrive and everything was cold by the time we got it.

Lovely food. Lovely staff. We was served by a polite girl Ashanti. Very helpful very polite. Nothing was to much. So helpful

Ashanti was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, thank you

Ashanti was an amazing, friendly and humorous waitress. 10/10

Ashanti was very good and welcoming Ashanti, Ashanti, Ashanti, Ashanti, Ashanti, Ashanti

Fantastic service from Lucy and Amelia, fantastic food, great atmosphere.

Ashanti was amazing and made my birthday special! She went above and beyond!! The food was gorgeous and the atmosphere was lovely!!

Nice food, big portions, friendly service, relaxing place to eat

Excellent service and the food was consistently of a high standard. Lucy provided swift and friendly service.

i had an amazing experience with everyone but i couldn’t help but notice how kind and sweet ashanti was, she stood out to me out of all.

Ashanti looked after us all night and was amazing. We really enjoyed our food and experience - thank you!

Good food, large portions, nice service and nice restaurant overall Only issue is the men's toilet which feels like it's outside of the restaurant but the food is well worth the trip to the bog afterwards

Ashanti looked after us and was amazing all evening.

Excellent service. The garlic salmon dish was amazing. Fully recommend!! 5* service

Very quiet. Staff nice. Food delicious however a little bit of bone in the chicken.

Fabulous night, great food catered for allergies too. Very friendly staff and atmosphere.definitely be coming again thank you

We had a lovely meal. Service was great. The other Indians in leek struggle to make a cocktail. These were lovely. Thanks for a lovely evening

Very friendly delivery staff food was 10/10

Said the delivered to our address but then cancelled because they said they didn't have drivers

Food was really good service was excellent

Excellent cheerful service from Lucy and Emily, and a delicious dinner. I'm not a spice monster, so the taste is the thing for me and this was, as ever, splendid.

Served by Lucy And Emily tonight. Brilliant service and the curry is lovely!

Lucy was our waiter and did a fantastic job.

Garlic bread and tandoori are 👌

Great food, nice atmosphere even on a quiet day Really enjoyed it

Lucy and Emily were fabulous. Really friendly atmosphere and pretty decor - Can’t fault

Always excellent food and service. Lucy and Emily were very friendly and attentive.

Amazing service, made my birthday extra special

The order was incomplete. 3 Poppodams were ordered we got 1 and a broken half. The chips were cold and the onion bhajis were tasteless and not crisp. I rang the restaurant but it was an answer machine and no-one got back. We paid over £50

Only had a takeaway but food was very good and plenty of it. Restaurant looked very good also.

The food was lovely. It was hot and beautifully spiced.

We had to wait 1hour 55 minutes what a joke

Had a takeaway, all 3 of our mains where wrong, also food was cold. Would not recommend a takeaway. Ruined our evening. Will he taking our buisness somewhere else.

Wrong food delivered and very bland.

chips cold, rice aired, curry greasy , very poor meal

I think over a year ago I ordered a pabna that got delivered really late and I avoided it for a while. But in the last few months I’ve ordered and I’ve had great meals at a reasonable cost each time. Been delivered on time and sometimes early. Food quality good. It’s been a massive turnaround. Really impressed

Absolutely perfect experience. Driver was courteous and polite a very lovely chap. A great person to have as a guest facing member of your team out on deliveries.

Great night celebrating 2 birthdays with family . Amazing food and wonderful service . Birthday balloons and banner on arrival - what a lovely gesture .

We came here for our evening meal whilst staying in Leek. There was a large choice on the menu and the prices were reasonable. The food was good but we ordered the kids chicken tikka for my daughter and double checked it was the one without the sauce (there were two types on the menu). Unfortunately the wrong one came. I imagine they would have changed it but didn't want to wait any longer so just scraped the sauce off for her and gave her the chicken.

Food was really nice. A little later than promised but no major issue

Lovely food but took quite a while to come. Not late, address is remote.

I ate at The Pabna with a group of friends to celebrate us all turning 40. The service was great aong with the warm and friendly welcome. The quality of food was good and the portions were large. I enjoyed my meal (Chicken tikka dopiaza, pilau rice and keema naan) and would return.

on holiday, took a chance. food was lovely and fresh. delivery quicker than anticipated and still hot. will order again next time we are this way.

Great quality food, good customer service. Delivered to a DE3 postcode. Highly recommend. Thank you.
