The Purple Pakora in Stockport

Quite when we visited. Only two separate diners at 7pm Enjoyed food and service was good and prices are very reasonable. Enjoyed the food.

Has to be the best curry we have ever had absolutely loved it, the service was 10/10 and the same for the food. Would definitely go back.

We had a fabulous meal between us - the best curry ever. The pakora jalfrezi, chicken Kahari, vegetable rice , sag aloo , onion bhajis, and an enormous beautifully cooked Naan. Service was excellent staff friendly food very flavoursome but not too spicy . We loved it all and just wish we lived locally so we could come more often and on Christmas Day !

Was the best meal we have had in a very long time Staff were very attentive and was a great experience From Starters to main we could not have asked for more

The best Meal we have had in a long while 100% the best Curry I have had in years 👍👍👍

Last chance to take advantage of half price food. Been there twice in the last week and believe they have a new chef. I really didn’t rate the food in the last few years but hope they can keep the new chef as seems to be much better. Service was a struggle for them last night but they were absolutely rammed, never seen it so busy ! The Bridge has a decent curry house, long may it last !

Ordered delivery with stockport eats. Delivery time advised 1hr and arrived within that time. The chicken tikka masala tasted bland like a korma with red food colouring. As sweet as any desert. It was quite disgusting. Ordered 4 poppadoms and only received 2. They were also broken up. The mushroom rice was tasty. The mix jalfreizi was quite mild when I was expecting something spicy. Not a lot of chilli found in it. Onion bhaji was very dry like they were pre made, stored, then warmed up. All of the containers leaked all over the place. Over all, quite disappointed....

Great takeaway food was amazing 👍🏻

When we arrived it was very quiet then it started to fill up. Food was medico and customer service I think is still the same . No pleasantries food ordered food served no conversation even though I tried. 2 waiters stood at the bar as we left and not even a thank you goodbye as we left. Once 50% is over this place will slip back to exactly how it was previously. Manners cost nothing I don't understand how all the waiters can be the same. If you dont like the job don't do it ...... simple

Had a great time thankyou for your hospitality for my 50th birthday and the amazing discounts

Waiting time was too long and price was high. .. Food was good

Great food & choice ,VERY friendly staff, The building has a good atmosphere

Great food good service would definitely recommend

We were booked in for dinner last night but didn't stay. 40 minutes into our reservation no-one had taken even a drinks order. Only sell wine by the glass with no choice It was v busy probably due to discount promised but only 2 staff in sight. Bar covered in dirty glasses. No idea about food I'm afraid but I'd recommend waiting until October to visit!

Best onion Bhaji of my life, they threw in a free garlic Nan. Absolutely no complaints top food and made the rail replacement bus go a lot more quickly. Cheers 👍

We moved to Romiley about 4months ago, tried at least 5 different local Indians. This is by far the best we’ve had - hot, fresh and the tastiest versions of our regular dishes we’ve had. 100% will be repeat customers!

We ordered a takeaway through Stockport eats app. The delivery was over an hour later than the expected time. When phoning the restaurant we were told twice that the order was on its way, and then a third time that the delivery driver had to return to the restaurant to pick up the order. The delivery driver who was the manager said that this was the correct time for the delivery, and it was Stockport eats that gave us the wrong time... So which story is it? Judging be the cold food and inedible salad it wasn't the later. Terrible service and food. Will never use again or recommend, even to a dog.

Just had the most delicious meal. Plenty of chicken in the dishes and the sauce was so tasty. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and polite. We would definitely recommend.

After the re opening in Summer 24 I wasn’t sure how good the Pakora would be. I needn’t have worried, the service and the food were both exceptional. Far better than it used to be before the temporary closure. Very very impressive ty

A lovely meal with lovely food, and a friendly, helpful service and to can’t all off great value for money. Would throughly recommend!

Very good and tasty food. We were a party of 4 who were all very happy with the meal. Good luck.

Had my 3rd takeaway in the last 3/4 months. Something has changed last year….all 3 have been pretty poor. It was excellent prior, what has happened? New chef…owners…? Service was fine and friendly though

We came down from Sheffield as we heard amazing feedback from our friends and family so we decided to nip down and hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever had in a long time ! The food was amazing quality and service was top tier only thing was they was super busy and still handled it professionally and still gave amazing service to all tables we couldn’t help but to book for the new year !! We will be definitely coming back !!

We came down for a table for 5 and we had the best experience ever !! Was served by a lovely young lady and received the best service ,food was amazing as was there service would DEFINITELY come back !!

Booked over the phone…birthday celebration for a table of four . checked at the time of booking that the Sunday special was still available as stated on their website at £13.90 and still visible on there today by the way ! Arrived to be told that they would not honour the deal in a rather rude and abrupt way . Instead we could have the so called banquet at £16.90 with a very small plate of starters between us minus the Persian salad . The rest of the food was below average at best . My biggest gripe was ordering a bottle of house wine for £15 which obviously wasn’t in stock and being brought a £20 bottle with no explanation and being charged the higher price. Used to love this place but we won’t be returning….very poor experience !

What was once great, now well below average. I’ve amended this on reflection, it wasn’t below average it was actually terrible. So so bland. Flavourless and not Tikka’d chicken when asked, and the waitress then said it was as if we didn’t know what it is. Used to be best Indian for miles, food is now really awful. Flat warm beer. Acceptance of mediocrity from the owners. Don’t bother anymore this place is finished.

Absolutely appalling service. We were a party of 20, all pre-ordered food prior to the evening. Firstly drinks took around half an hour to arrive. Then the starters arrived but no cutlery to eat them. Following that a 45 minute wait for the mains which turned up this time with no cutlery and no plates to eat them off! So a further 10 minutes wait while the waiter gave out plates one by one and she was drying them up with a tea towel whilst handing them out. A further wait for cutlery so all the food was lukewarm at best. After finally deciding to head for the door and pay on the way out another 20 minute debacle trying to sort out the bill. The food was average at best, beer ok. Dim lighting making it difficult to see. Overall a terrible restaurant experience.

This place use to be decent but now it has gone down hill! Staff are rude and don't care about their customers, I'm suprised they're still in business tbh! Also the food is average at best and that's being a little to generous...

Absolute Shocking service from start to finish,restaurant was quiet & took forever just for starters to come & even longer for the mains,the highlight was asking for the bill & that took 30 minutes to arrive,cold food & appalling service, more like Purple Helmets…..

Booked a table for 17 people weeks prior. Turned up - no booking despite having having an email confirmation from them. They seated us at separate tables. They also didn't have our preorder. Two hours later food was eventually served (would have been nice of them to mention that it was going to be a bit of a wait). Got to say food was good. Went to pay, chaos! Didn't have a clue! When questioned what had gone wrong, they said something about a broken generator the night before and they weren't planning on opening. We hadn't received any communication from them about this - hmmn. Basically a poor excuse for their cock-up!

Absolutely terrible service once again from this restaurant, we rang up to order a takeaway was told we will ring you back in 2 mins 20 mins later no return call so I ring again to be told again we will ring you back. 10 mins later I get a call from a random mobile number asking what we want to order, I place the order and get told to will be ready at 540pm. We turn up at 540pm big queue takes 15 mins to be seen only to be told they don’t have an order and it will be a further 20 mins, we walk out because this isn’t acceptable. I rang to make a complaint and some idiot that works there answer the phone with “hello yes” not “welcome to purple pakora how can I help you” !! Tried to complain but get absolutely nothing back not even a sorry !! Shocking service from this place I will never ever give any purple pakora branch my money again !!

Ordered food .arrived 1 hour late. Food cold and soggy had to bin it .restaurant would not refund any money. No apology.would not deal with this cowboy outfit ever again and will make it my priority to tell everyone I meet.

Cold restaurant,cold meal terrible staff. Been here been before but won’t be going again,who wants to eat a cold meal in a cold restaurant on a winters night

It is not as tasty as other ind takeaways

I am a regular customer and ordered my usual meal selections for our Sunday 09/10 supper. The chicken Jalfrezi had 3 - yes 3 - pieces of chicken in it and the rest was a little 'watery'. Restaurant was very quiet and one wonders if they were clawing back profit by excluding 30% of the expensive ingredients to make up the shortfall. Lots of apologies when rang to complain but it was noticable that there was little surprise in the voice and the usual 'oh we'll give you a plate of chicken the next time you come in'....Hopefully this is an isolated instance but owners (if this process wasn't done under instruction) need to resolve as someone - if not them - is making a little extra profit.... We will revert to the excellent alternative E of I in Marple - it may be furthur but has always been perfect. It does seem from other reviews there are issues to resolve...

Good good but terrible service. This place clearly cannot cope with running both a restaurant and take away. Was told 20 minutes for takeaway still waiting an hour later no explanation no apologies

We have been going to the Purple Pakora ever since it opened. It used to be superb. Tonight we ordered a takeaway. It was 20 mins late. The so called chicken tikka bhuna bore no resemblance to any bhuna we’ve ever had. The sauce was thin and watery. So disappointing. We will not be going back

Nightmare I already waiting 2h after one hour I was told it's on the way I wait another hour give a call and again I was told it's on the way, I told them that I was told the same one hour ago and I'm not satisfied with it I was told to "F off " it's the worst take away experience I've ever had 2 hours gone and still no food and I was treated with F words completely unprofessional behaviour

Delivery took 2 hours and did not get what I ordered , they were not prepared to deliver what was missing and didn’t care less .,,… do not order from this company

75% of order wrong Incorrect rice and never had a dupiaza with chillis in it,really poor experience

Didn’t get what I ordered and they couldn’t care less ……they wouldn’t deliver what was short delivered …… very poor service ….. don’t order from this company

Spent over £60 and did not get what was ordered …… they would not deliver the balance and did not care less …… I would never order from them again and advise anyone else to steer clear

Nice place. Always decent food.

Very slow service to pick up takeaway, food was average and not pipeing hot when delivered.

Absolutely shocking delivery service with Uber Eats. Our food has been out on the road for half an hour, is over an hour late, and no one knows where the driver is, or cares. It was a birthday meal treat from one of my daughters. The food in the past has been great, but their delivery service is now none existent. No tea for us, and I wouldn't rely on them ever again. Will find a restaurant with people who care about a 40 pound meal in future. Disgraceful.

Possibly the best service, food and price I've had. AMAZING. THANKYOU !!

Absolutely appalling food , orders all incorrect , warm beer , after years of dining will not ever ever visit again and to add insult to injury melted my daughters birthday cake , the evening was totally ruined

Ordered from here on Stockport eats and had a terrible experience. Food finally arrived 50 minutes after the estimated arrival time. The restaurant marked the order as complete 10 minutes after the estimate arrival time despite us not having any food delivered. Food was ok though. Probably won’t be ordering again.

Very disappointed. Ordered through Stockport Eats, and it took over 2 hours to arrive. It was meant to be 45 mins. No salad with the bhajis, and 1 sauce between 3 of us. Biryini didn't have the sauce with it, so I had to go down to get it, as they weren't answering the phone. May as well have not paid the extra £2 for delivery! Was told 'sorry, we are out of salad'. They did give us the sauce, but too little too late. It spoilt our Fathers day . I am all wound up now, and won't be ordering from there again. Food was acceptable though.

Excellent food, piping hot, really tasty and a great veggie selection. Friendly staff too.

Been going to the restaurant for years. The food was good however the amount of meat for a chicken dish was ridiculously low. Literally 2 pieces cut up into small slices. Very disappointing. Restaurant was very quiet for a Saturday evening.

Delicious food, very attentive and pleasant staff. Will be going back again soon

Second visit better that the first

A lovely curry house in Marple. Always great service and friendly staff. Food is super too with good sized portions.

When we arrived it took 3 different people to decide where we would sit. The room is very dull and we found it difficult to read the menus. The poppadoms and starter were very nice, but the main courses were a bit dry and lack lustre considering the prices. There was a birthday party in and the birthday music was so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves think. Then another party turned up and they were so close it was uncomfortable, and then more birthday music. The bill was at least £10 dearer than other places. Definitely not worth the prices they are charging. Won’t go again.

Food was very good, service was also good but it was pretty empty so service should be good.

Would recommend this restaurant. Great food & service. We will be back! Return visit just as good - very good restaurant.

We recently went to the Purple Pakora 💜 for a family meal .We hadn't been for many years and we were very pleasantly surprised at how good it was.Staff very polite and even opened door when we arrived.Food was delicious and nicely presented .From the onion bhajis in a basket to the huge garlic Nan on it's own stand .Another plus as we don't like coriander we always tell the waiter and not all restaurants take notice, but they did and not a trace was found not even on the onion pickle .We had the Sunday special menu really good portions .We will definitely go again .

Unfortunately they are not consistent with the standard of dishes they cook. I really enjoyed my first visit and the food was so good and tasted so fresh. Finally thought I had found a decent indian restaurant. Second visit was very disappointing with poppadoms tasting as if they had been cooked in old oil and the main had been hanging around for too long. Too much sauce and very little of everything else in the main. Swore not to go back but friends insisted I go with them as they had previously enjoyed a good meal there. Thought I should give them another try. We all left feeling dissatisfied with standard of food, swearing not to go back again. Not to forget we felt we had thrown our money away. A pity as staff are so friendly and efficient.

Almost comically bad. Three waiting staff on a Friday night, one of whom was about 15. Top tip: carry a notepad so you can write down what people order. And ask what they want, rather than look shocked that people are wanting you to do so. It's called being a waiter. Dirty toilets are not a good advert for a clean restaurant. 1 hour wait for 2 main dishes and rice. Meanwhile delivery and takeaway food was flying out the door. Clearly that's the priority here. Large group on the table nearby still hadn't had their starter in that time. Food was ok but won't bother coming back. Expect it will shut down anyway soon and just be a takeaway.

Polite staff but poor food quality & taste. Arrived as a group of 14 for christmas day meal. The place opened up 10 mins before our sitting. Rushed service, missing items and wrong drinks to start with. No poppadoms, starters were below average and the curries were watery & tasteless. Rushed through, leaving some of the party without food. Edible at best, and some meat unrecognisable. They actually did a better job with the turkey dinner. Dry christmas pudding with a neat brandy shot on top served with the bill and kicked out before we had coffee. Ruined christmas and the kids are still crying...

Told to collect at 6pm, didn't get it till 6.20. food was tasty but too much yellow oily sauce for my liking.

Tonight was our first ever vist to Purple Pakora Marple. I have to say the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent, infact I would say it is the best Biryani I have ever had, my husbands Rogan Josh was also very tasty. Definitely will be back.

We went here for our works Christmas do and I was worried before hand about organising it with there being a lot of people going, thankfully the staff and the purple pakora were very helpful and made it a great experience for all of us, the food was also amazing

Absolutely brilliant find, the best curry we have had in a long long time! Service was spot on, the food was incredible.

Food was average, but I would not recommend them one bit they overcharged us and said we had items we didn’t have when pointing out the mistakes they where not happy and it got very high rate for no reason.

Ordered a vindaloo. Wasn't the slightest bit spicy. My kids were eating it. Very disappointed

Staff very attentive and helpful. The curries were fantastic. We will definitely be telling all our friends to go.

Great food. Excellent staff. Fantastic dining experience from the moment you step through the door. We will return.

Are at the restaurant last night as a treat for my family. Even though it was busy the food was great and the staff were all very helpful and polite. This made it a great experience and so would highly recommend.

Great food, had takeaway for 8 people. Took a little longer than the app said but was worth the wait. Potions were decent and all enjoyed the variety

First time eating here and i loved it,its only tiny but so nice inside, staff were very friendly and helpful, food was fantastic . Definitely recommend to everyone.

Used for takeaway only. Very good food. Fresh and tasty

Ordered a take away this afternoon for 3 and the bill came to just under £50. Waited around 45-50 minutes which was expected but once the delivery was unpacked and we started to dish up that’s when we realised the errors. Firstly the chips were refried chips which you could tell because as soon as you ate one you could taste the grease, secondly we ordered two portions of mushroom pilau and both portions were different colour to each other, looked like they had just grabbed two lots of different rice and threw in some mushrooms, thirdly I ordered a garlic naan and a plain naan was sent, which isn’t a great problem but they all add up, lastly I ordered a chicken tikka chom chom which I’ve had lots of times from the poynton branch which is delicious, I was sent a chicken korma (I took pictures of the meals and just from the picture you can tell its a korma). I telephoned the restaurant to tell them and they advised me that they hadn’t had an order for chicken korma so they couldn’t see how I had one, they did offer to send a chom chom but I’d already waited 45-50 minutes and didn’t want to wait any longer so I ate as much as I could (I hate kormas, they are too sweet). I would never order from this branch again the food was bland not like the poynton branch where the food and service is always exceptional.

Me and my friends have just had the BEST experience at Purple Pakora Marple. The service was top, waiters and managers so friendly. I’ve never had a curry so flavourful in my life! It’s such a great value for money and I will be shouting from the rooftops how great this place is. Can’t wait to return. Thanks again guys.

Always good food and decent service. Not the best Indian food out there hence not 5* but then very few places are perfect! Would highly recommend and will go again

This is my local Indian restaurant. Food is next level. The staff are so polite, the ingredients are fresh, the taste is authentic - genuinely out of this world food.

We called in off spec on a friday night. Seated straight away. Excellent service really seemed to care. Had the mixed starter. Delicious, probably the best bahjis ever had. Wife had the prawns , fantastic fresh tastes and flavours. For me saag karahi lamb. Everything was cooked to perfection. Probably the best we've ever had. Definitely going again. Thanks

We ended up here by chance last night. So glad we did!! Excellent service and very relaxing atmosphere Amazing food. One of the nicest if not the nicest curry I have ever had. Thank-you we will be back!!

Visited midweek, it was quiet but the staff were attentive without us feeling over looked. There was a mix up with the meal as we had attended with a groupon voucher which it turned out was for a different branch, but they were fantastic and...

Can't really complain at all. We tend to go there as a big work group and they always take care of us. Made ordering easy by recommending quantity of rices/naans/starters.

Lovely meal again at Marple Bridge Purple Pakora, Tandoori Fish: just enough spice and flavour not to overwhelm the fish…Delicious My husband had Chicken Jalfrezi and was also very happy with his choice. Staff are very helpful and fitted us in last minute despite being very busy. No complaints, we would recommend!

After a drink in the pub we decided to have an Indian at the Purple Pakora. It was a lovely place, clean with friendly staff. Poppadoms were lovely with 6 different toppings! Very nice. The curries were very tasty, we had rice chips and naan...

Nice place. Service was excellent. Staff were professional and approachable. We entered the restaurant at a busy time however after waiting (which was no longer than five minutes) our waiter took good care of us. Would visit again.

My fav restaurant but since the last 2 years quality seem to go down, feel like the chef has changed. Really need improvement sorry.

It wasn’t under my name I will get back to u thank you

We’ve just been for a familly meal Saturday evening and will definately return . The manager and all the staff are lovely , so friendly ,absolutely first class customer service. The food was amazing you can really tell everything is freshly made . I had...

Came here last night and the staff were so friendly and couldnt do enough for us. Food was fantastic as always and will definately be back. Thank you...

The new management gave a service second to none.. Absolutely excellect. Amazing food. Amazing staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend. Also do deliveries...

Are curry's were lovely. And the staff were very helpful. We definitely will go back soon

Table for 10 for a birthday the service was fab and the manager Ayman was amazing made the day super special come down to purple pakora

Always great friendly service and really good food!

A dissatisfaction on so many levels. Late delivery, food was so different from the menu description and the lamb dishes are tough with multiple bones. It’s like a different restaurant than before 🤦🏽‍♀️

We had a beautiful experience at this restaurant. On arrival the staff were super friendly and looked after our every need. They went above and beyond in giving us a FIRST CLASS service. The food was WORLD CLASS!! We've eaten in hundreds of indian restaurants and this is now one of our favourites. We are thrilled to have found this restaurant and can't wait to come back .... The decor is very smart and classy and just adds to a great eating experience. Thank you to the whole team and we wish you all lots of success......

Food was delicious, service great, just the table we were sat at, far end of the restaurant, left corner was cold.

The curries are quite good and so are the naans. But the cutlery sits very awkwardly in the hand. They did overcharge us on drinks so had to get our bill corrected, hence no gratuity.

Dropped in for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was pleasantly busy, but the young front of house team were on it, and were lovely, attentive and knowledgable. The food was delicious, especially the Lamb Satkora. Would recommend.

Amazing service. We went here on a wim for somewhere we had never been and had the most brilliant evening. The manager was fantastic, all the staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was outstanding. Would very much recommend

Highly recommend! This is our second visit here now and everything was perfect! We had not booked a table but they quickly got a table ready for us. Staff very friendly and we were never left waiting for a drink ! Food all amazing and not long to wait for that either! Really good value for money! We will definitely be back! X

This place is my favourite Indian restaurant, the staff are friendly and accommodating, the food is tasty and full of flavour. Ive been coming here for a few years and it's recently changed hands but everything is still great and the new owner is great. I would recommend this place
