The Parvin in York

First visit to The Parvin, and unfortunately it will be my last. I booked a table for Saturday night with a few friends (unfortunately Paddy Fields was booked up), we were seated quickly and drinks orders taken, first red flag was the wrong drink being served. We waited 30 minutes and no-one came to take our food order, so we had to go to the bar to ask for someone to take our order. A further 45 minutes before our food finally arrived, we were the last table in the restaurant to get served, having being seated at 7:30pm, we finally got our food at 8:50pm (and we didn't order starters!) We all ordered naan breads, and they delivered the wrong ones to half of us, which resulted in another 5 minutes wait for the correct ones to be cooked. My lamb pasanda was very tough, and sauce extremely sweet. I had to leave most of it. I've given 2 stars as my friends had better luck with their dishes, and thankfully the garlic and cheese naan was very tasty. We were honestly close to walking out after waiting well over an hour for our food, and had no apologies from the staff for the wait. I definitely won't be returning.

I just had a takeaway Lamb Balti from here. They weren't particularly friendly, but they graciously allowed me to swap the nan bread for moglai rice. But I've just got back to my hotel to find they haven't given me either! The balti was a typical oily mess, of the type you often get in a bad housing-estate Indian restaurant, so I decided it wasn't worth my time walking all the way back to get my rice. So check they've given you what you ordered or, better still, go somewhere else.

went on 24/8 for my birthday with my daughter. food was so nice but bad attitude of almost all staff. first waiter seemed in a bad mood. second waiter told me when i ordered the biryani while shaking his head at me for ordering rice that rice was mixed in. after eating elsewhere and having no rice served, i asked for rice anyway. he scoffed at me that he will watch me eat it then. my daughter asked for another drink while already having an alcoholic drink and he gave a look of plain attitude that she was ordering a 2nd. surely thats more money in the restaurants pocket. when my biryani came out, the rice was on a sep dish so not 'mixed in' so i sent it back. it wasnt explained in that case. but the original man with a bad attitude spoke in their language to the server and yes i picked up the word 'rice' while at my table talking among yourselves. so thanks for making me feel stupid on my birthday. i dont live anywhere near this place but i wont be back if i come back again. not everyone goes to an indian restaurant all the time and not every restaurant serves dishes the same. we stayed an hour start to finish and couldnt wait to leave. what a shame. the food was lovely though. the younger staff were also lovely. please take classes from your younger staff.

Absolutely gutted, kids eagerly wait for food...its inedible. Chips n bhajis rock hard, passanda sauce solidified. Agree to refund, then pass the book to just eat. £33 wasted. Will be reviewing on media.

Disappointed to be honest, food quality was average at best…….

beautiful food still hot really friendly driver highly recommended 👌 easily 5 stars all round

Arrived slightly early, piping hot and really lovely meals. Tasty but not over spicy

delay in order getting through by JUSTEAT. Ordered at 4.05pm, restaurant got order at 5.06pm.

Always a great meal - good food, lovely staff.

Absolutely beautiful as always

great quality, service and value for money.

Great service and very tasty. Thank you

I don't know if this is a new chef of not but our meals were disgusting, they were absolutley swimming in oil. Our meals went straight in the bin.

Lovely like always best Indian in york

Beautiful as always from The Parvin! Highly recommended 👌

I've ordered from the Parvin before, the food is usually really nice. But this order came late, so when it arrived it wasn't hot. The naan was smaller than it used to be, and chewy. Very disappointed this time.

The food tasted amazing but was not very hot and it took an hour and a half to arrive. They must have been busy

absolutely lovely always is. big thumbs up from us xx

Always great can’t beat it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Arrived over half an hour late - food cold. Terrible service !

rice was cold when it eventually arrived. had to microwave. also we didn't get the garlic naan we ordered. last 3 times the food has been late. will use a different Indian from now on.

The Best in York if you want the dish how you like it just ask they are a very helpful team and the food is excellent and the portions are good 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always 10/10 never had a bad one to date. And the curries actually taste different to each other! The buffet is decent on a Sunday as well. I’ve seen bengal lounge is 2nd but I had it last Sunday and it’s not the same as Parvin

Great flavour, but lacking in spice and temperature. I’ve had hotter salsa..

Wow. Not much more to say. The Garlic chicken chilli naga. Absolutely stunning. Plenty of chicken in the dish. Spices to match. It's been a while since we've had a takeaway from here. The Mrs had a lamb passanda. She's happy with hers. Had a couple of the Bombay Bicycle IPA. Very nice 🍺😋💪. Certainly won't be long before we're back again. Definitely compliments to the chef on this culinary delight 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I am late doing my review but I will say I ordered of here a few times now and I have to say that the lamb tikka masala was out of this world so yummy and tasty very well cooked. if I could I have it every day. it the best Indian restaurant I have had. why not give it a go you won't be disappointed and ofcourse I will order again for sure the rice was lovely too

Food was great as always, favourite Indian in York

Excellent food delivered on time and hot

we were Disappointed with our meal this evening. Normally it is spot on but tonight both the Garlic Naans were cold and had a fishy taste to them. The main dish for my husband was luke warm and he had to re-heat it in the microwave. Also the poppadoms had a fishy taste to them. Hope this is just a one off as the Parvin is our favourite Indian takeaway. cheers

food was amazing and really nice and hot , just ready to eat , perfect as always thankyou

All good again and delivered earlier than stated

Placed order at 5pm and requested asap delivery. Order arrived at 7.45pm

I've been told to go to the Parvin for years. I didnt think they delivered! I got the most delicious seek kebabs and chicken patia Ever! last night. The food was the best Indian food I've had for a long time! Thank you! and will order again!

Good meals & reasonably ok pick up time….

Food tepid when it arrived Wrong dip sent Chips practically dry inside and cold. So dissappinted!

Thank you! Lovely meal to celebrate New Year. Well done all the team at the Parvin!

1 hour late which the restaurant blamed on the weather yet the delivery driver blamed on under staffing. Also wouldn't refund any money even tho it was 1 hour late.

Was a little bit late but traffic and time of year exceptable

lovely food as usual, shame they didn't give me the large extra butter chicken.

Food is delicious - BUT I stopped ordering from here as much because they ALWAYS get something wrong on the order. This time they sent no mixed pickle for the poppadoms it’s just irritating. Other restaurants can get the order right everytime.

Super fast delivery and piping hot food, thanks!

Amazing. Will definitely be using again.

The food was tasty but the bag had been rocked about enough to lose a load of sauce, and it was pretty cold when it reached me.

We order from here all the time with no problem. But tonight it was cold when it arrived and felt like it was warm ups😢😢

Amazing as always, thank you so much ☺️

Sadly our usual go to. Food very late and very Cold 😞 rang 3x and just left with cold food

Always fantastic from parvin every single time

Delivery was really quick and really friendly. The meals were absolutely beautiful and perfect. This was a treat for our 13th wedding anniversary and it was really special and yummy. Thank you!

I was still out when I got a rude phone call from the delivery guy I asked it for 20-05 as I knew I’d be home by then

Food was delicious and flavourful. Generous portions. Good quality meat

Lovely as always. Very tasty will be using again.

Ordered a couple times from here now. Quick delivery and excellent food both times. Will definitely be ordering again in the future. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, delivery was a little behind schedule but it wasn't a problem. Great value

Food was just warm, ordered at 6.50pm didn't arrive till gone 9pm was meant to be delivered between 745 and 815 ,would of been nice if on time and hot

Decided to give Parvin a go instead of our regular takeaway. So glad we did. I think this will become our new regular. Great service. Great portions. Great food.

Good food. Hot when delivered. Would order again

Delicious quality food, friendly people

Excellent as always would recommend to anyone!!!!

Very nice garlic chilli balti. Keema naan could have done with more meat, but was nice all the same . Over half an hour early 😊

We did not receive the naan bread we ordered

Delivery driver was lovely, food amazing as always.

lovely food as always never dissapoints

Every time great delicious food, delivered piping hot. Excellent as always.

Outstanding food again. I simply can't fault it.

1hr40mins is daft food lukewarm they saved themselves by the taste once heated up

Brilliant ! Lovely food and quick service. Thank you.

Brilliant food. Great size portions and very tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant and will order again. Never let me down 5 star service.

In chicken curry(madrass) i got a taste of lamp in curry I don’t know how but it is i threw all the curry.(disgusting)

Good food & restaurant service

Foid was piping hot and tasted great

Ordered and paid for lamb but got chicken.

Nice and fresh food l, thank you

Lovely food. And a 10 star rating for the delivery driver he was quick and extremely polite.

To be honest it wasn’t worth the price we paid. Onion Bhaji’s were rock hard in middle. poppadoms stunk of stale oil. Dal was bland. Okra wasn’t cooked thoroughly. Best part was chapatis. Cant fault the chapatis. One of the bests I’ve have ever had. Nan bread was too rubbery. Not worth the price if I’m being honest. Will just pop in for chapatis.

The curry had lots of flavour but was clearly the scrapings out the bottom of the day's food. I paid for a garlic naan and received two day-old dried out, burnt peshwari naans, that I couldn't face even trying.

All good again , food tasty and piping hot , a very tasty Sunday treat .

Lovely food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!would recommend

Lovely food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!would recommend

Wow taste explosion in a good way

Absolutely beautiful food will definitely be coming here again!!!

Fantastic service from the guys, on time hot and very flavourful.

Food was delicious and plenty of it however £3 for delivery from Haxby to New Earswick is rather expensive which would probably stop me ordering from them again.

Every single order from here is always spot on!!! Delicious food and lovely staff!

Great testy food as always and quick delivery

Food was very early but I think that was a fault on the app. Food was piping hot!

Tasty dish I'd not had before. Nicely cooked chicken, and very interesting and delicious rice.

Scrumptious. First time ordering from here and received more than expected! Popadoms & onion - delicious. Great value for money 👍

Food, pick up time & service all spot on….👍🏻

Great food as always and delivered on time

Food was 35 mins late and actually cold when arrived

All good , food hot on delivery , very tasty 😋

Delicious, order came quicker than the 80min expected wait. Will order again.

Great food but item missing from delivery :(

My first order it was very nice food was hot and quick delivery

Super quick delivery. Food was lovely.

Generous portions.. tasty food

Always good food delivered earlier than quoted. It's a keeper

The Parvin is my favourite and the food was delicious as usual.

All the curries tasted similar
