The Rickshaw Indian Restaurant in North West Leicestershire

Delicious Indian food. Excellent specials& all the usual options. Used to get lots of takeaway ( which are also excellent). Now the kids love to come & eat in the restaurant for a treat.

I've tried all the Indian takeaways in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, but the Rickshaw cannot be beaten in my opinion. The food is just beautiful. The staff are friendly and the service is great. I cannot recommend them enough.

Ordered placed 2 hours prior to collection time. On collection I waited a further 30 minutes. Obviously they had made errors and forgot to cook the order. Instead of apologising they said nothing, once the food eventually came, no apologies were made. Terrible customer service delivered in this instance.

Popped in for a quick Surrey and we really enjoyed it. Service was good, beers was good and curry was GOOD! I would recommend to any curry lover.

Went here on the basis of trip advisor reviews. Arriving at 9:30pm it wasn’t that busy and so service was very quick. The special ordered was a mix of chicken,prawn, king prawn and lamb. I’d had all in, though only one king prawn and the prawns were very small. Good flavours and service was quick, so the only reason for the mark down is on the quality of the dishes. Will use again

Been going here for years and is hands down the best Indian in the area. Highly recommend to anyone!

These cowboys don't fix burned Nan breads and try to fob off off customer complaints with a pathetic discount. Avoid at all costs.

Fantastic place. Used to live near by but not been for 10 years. We can’t believe how good everything was. Excellent fresh food and a lovely team that looked after us. If you want a top quality meal and want to be looked after by lovely people look no further. We will visit again soon. Thank you to all.

Great Indian! I highly recommend this restaurant. Service is good, staff are friendly and food is good.

What a great restaurant. Amazing service, friendly staff and the best Asian food in the area. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Excellent easy to read menu. Superb choice. Generous portions. Freshly cooked. Amazing taste. All plates went back empty. Will be back very soon.

We hadn't booked but we're warmly welcomed. We had 3 courses as it was our first time. Great shaslick, amazing tray of chutneys with poppadoms. We were very impressed with the mains. Naan was tasty and not burnt or crispy. Good saag aloo too. Home made style caramel ice cream and kulfi. Was £30 a head for 3 courses and poppadoms with 1 alcoholic drink each. Great value but also some of the loveliest service we've had. Also, lovely hot towels at end, unusual nowadays. Thank you. We'll be back.

Ordered takeaway on Friday 27 January. Very poor. Butter chicken was way too sweet as if so.eone had spilled half a bag of sugar in it. Sheek kebab starter full of gristly bits and nearly cold, onion bargi doughy and barely warm.Naam bread very doughy and undercooked. All in all very disappointing.

We moved to Coleorton last year and have been to other curry houses and discovered Rickshaw does the best curry in Ashby. I highly recommend this restaurant and have been a regular since. I was informed by friends that this restaurant has new management for the past 7 years, I think.

Well I must say that this time the food was excellent. The Naga Chili Tikka with garlic fried rice, this time it was hot enough Naga hot, the quality of the food and chucked was fantastic. My partner had mixed madras Amritsar, Perfect. Poppadoms good! Salad good. Delivery good. Top marks here! We’re considering having Christmas dinner there….

Excellent takeaway service but even better dining experience Staff extremely friendly and very good with recommendations of dishes Food was amazing would highly recommend Thanks to Said and his staff

The service here from the start was excellent. The waiter was patient, helpful and informative. Wide choice of meals were available and the quality of food presented was first class throughout three courses chosen. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. I don’t live in Ashby but whenever near in the future I will pay a visit,Possibly the best Indian restaurant I’ve visited.

The best Indian restaurant in Ashby! Absolutely amazing food, with fabulous staff who are really friendly. We were greeted at the door and taken to our table with all Covid precautions in place. They have plastic dividers in between tables to make you feel safe and at ease when dining in to have the most ‘normal’ experience possible in these unprecedented times. I could not recommend a better restaurant for affordability, great service and delicious food. I would highly recommend the Rickshaw as the perfect place to eat for a meal out.

We have visited The Rickshaw for meals in the restaurant and also have had a take away on many occasions too. The staff are always friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is well laid out and measures put in place for Covid are well thought out. The food is always fresh, tasty and served on hot plates. I highly recommend the Shashlik Bhuna and the Naan breads here are absolutely fantastic. A special thanks to Sayid who on this particular evening made it thoroughly enjoyable.

I have been coming to the Rickshaw for several years now and can honestly say this is by far the tastiest Indian food. The service and friendliness of staff is second to none and very good prices too!

Always been a regular at the Rickshaw, and never been able to fault it, the food is always outstanding, the service is great, staff can’t do enough and authentic food. Would definitely recommend, always return for another

I’ve been here before with family. I live in Liverpool and when I visit family I am often very disappointed with what’s on offer in Ashby when you want to eat out. However, I have never tasted a nicer curry than this. Rickshaw is brilliant and well worth a visit. Please open in Liverpool!

Called for takeaway and was told an hour for delivery, after 1.5 hours rang to see where food was to be told it was 1 hour 40 minute wait as they were busy and apparently had been told this to start with...we hadn't! Food arrived and questioned we shouldn't be paying full price and delivery man just ignore the comments. Food was hot but naan breads were burnt quite a lot. Very disappointed as family have enjoyed this restaurant both eating in and takeaway!!

Not impressed, food took ages to arrive, service was poor and the food wasn’t impressive given the price. My dish looked like it had been sunbathing under the heat lamp for ages as the curry sauce was dried up. They need to up their game.

I cannot fault the hospitality and the food at this restaurant but the place is so cold. I felt like i didn’t want to take my coat off. This made me feel like I just wanted to eat my food and leave.

Delicious food and a welcoming owner. I would also thoroughly recommend the quality of the takeaway food, with free delivery if you live in Ashby. Happy to visit the restaurant with my family as the staff are attentive and ensure that each customer’s needs are catered for.

We enjoyed a family meal with our teenage daughter at the Rickshaw. It was reasonably busy for a Saturday evening and the service was ok. Our starters were ok, I ordered lamb chops which were nicely spiced but a little tough. My main which was Chicken Dopiaza which was described as medium hot but was quite mild. The plates were hot, the food was warm but not piping hot.A nice selection of Naan breads to accompany were nicely cooked.

Ate here a couple of times recently with my husband. Service and food very good on both occasions. Only downside in the second visit we were a bit cold. Waiters obviously warm from working but it wasn’t warm enough to relax.

Among the best Indian style food I have ever tasted Superb curry sauce excellent cooked chocked Side dish exceptional Will become my favourite Resturant around this part of England

Was recommended to this Restaurant albeit we had a takeaway delivered. Absolutely fabulous food and the best Indian we have had for years. We run a pub and will highly recommend to all our customers who already have tried and agreed it was amazing.

We go regularly and never disappointed. Food is amazing especially for such a reasonable price. Some of the best curries we've ever had.

I've been there with family everyone is satisfied with the top food and service definitely will be going back Thank you rickshaw looking forward to coming back soon

Went out on a business trip stumble across this restaurant on my way really glad I went in really nice would highly recommend their specials keep up the good work guys

Went out for a meal after having a couple of pints at the pub fantastic restaurant service was excellent manager was really friendly will definitely visit again .......

Service is really quick staff are really friendly I ordered the wrong dish one of the staff changed it for me although it was my fault highly recommended best restaurant in Ashby🤗😇☺

A dinner for 7 persons was enjoyed. The atmosphere was relaxed and service ok- perhaps a little slow. Plates were hot which kept the food hot as it was served. I enjoyed the chef’s special lamb, described as slightly hot. The spicing was perfect for me, not too hot but enough to enjoy. 7 persons with popadoms, starters, mains and beers came to £146.

Came with friends to the Rickshaw and was disappointed with the lack of proactive service from the waiters. Drinks were empty and never asked for more drinks and main courses took 55 minutes to come out and weren't the warmest.

Where do I start... it is awful from start to finish.

Amazing staff who are so open and honest. They can't do enough for you. The makhon chicken is delicious, I don't like anything too spicy and this was reccommended. IT was sweet and delicious. The naan bread was hot and fresh, the onion Bahji was a bit hot for me but great for my husband. He would reccommend the chicken tikka massala.

We visited the Rickshaw last night and were welcomed by the exceptionally friendly staff and promptly seated at our table. The atmosphere in the Rickshaw is always very warm and friendly. We ordered poppadoms whilst we looked through the extensive menu. We chose prawn kharai and a tandoori chicken jalfrezi to share with pilau rice and a garlic naan. The food is presented well and was very tasty. The portion sizes are just right and having tried both dishes I can confirm that both were extremely tasty and full of flavour. I would highly recommend the Rickshaw to anyone who is looking for tasty and authentic Indian cuisine in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Very nice Indian Restaurant. Fresh intierior Always reliable for a great meal. Sound people and waiters.

Food was fresh and tasty and the staff could not have been nicer. Would definately recommend for anyone in the area looking for an indian meal

We popped in today for a post Christmas curry and found the food and service to be spot on. All seemed very fresh and tasty and quick service. The staff were also very helpful and friendly, we shall definitely return soon. My only gripe is that it was a little cold in the restaurant when we arrived but they had just opened.

We had a very good meal, everything arrived as expected, food was very nice. Service was very pleasant and fast, especially considering how busy it was with many large tables around. Very impressed.

We booked a table for 20 last Friday night it was x mas part large group.we all enjoyed our food.every thing was on time we will booked for next year again. Food and service excellent and very clean.

Absolutely terrible. No taste of spice in their mixed kabab starter. Mains were worse, my lamb was over cooked, chewy and no flavour, and the mushroom pilau rice was bland. Had to ask for salt to add some flavour to it all. Nan turned up late so my food was cold.

We have been on a number of occasions and each visit is as good as the last. They cater for our wide range of tastes and willingly adapt the meals. The food is freshly made and served piping hot at the table. Each meal is tasty and balanced. If you are unsure, the staff offer helpful advice and suggestions as to which dish would suit your tastes. There is a good selection of beverages from a small bar. The staff are kind, welcoming and polite. They take the time to pop over just to chat to us. Each visit has been a pleasure and we will return regularly.

Visited with my Mum & Dad at end of July we had just been abroad & Mum had missed her curry! We had not been for a number of years having enjoyed De La Zouch but decided to give it another chance. The service was not great, one waiter was trying but the other one who served us most of the time was not very welcoming or polite & seemed disinterested.

This is a busy restaurant but fantastic service and nothing is too much trouble for the friendly staff. We're gluten and dairy free and Sa'id recommended some dishes that we may not have tried without his input. They were delicious he made sure they were adapted our intolerances!

A party of ten, on a busy Saturday evening; all of us were delighted with our meal. Our tastes ranged from mild to 'extreme chilli-hot'. Every dish was beautifully served and delicious. The staff are attentive and the restaurant lighting and layout add to the whole experience.

My husband and i visited the Rickshaw quite spontaneously and we were so glad we did. Friendly greeting from the waiter started our evening off well. Food was just how it is supposed to be and plenty of it. We couldn't finish everything as too full. Will definitely be returning. Fantastic restaurant, just like the ones we used to go to years ago. Well done!!!

So being veggie , sometimes eating out and takeaways are tricky..... We where desperate for a good indain take away meal - So we ordered food from Rickshaw.

Stumbled upon the Rickshaw on my way to Ashby from Measham and passed the restaurant. Parking was easy. I ordered chicken dhansak and Chana bagee with a nan. Food was so tasty and fresh and very enjoyable. Staff really friendly and helpful. Well worth visiting if you're in the area.

So decided to order a take away and collect from the restaurant. Having not lived in the area for long, I'm taking recommendations on place to try. Ordered both a lamb tikka vindaloo & Rogan josh with rice and plenty of sides.

I used the rickshaw in the past which was ok, so diced to book a table for our company xmas meal ,as I went I noticed the Chang of the sign out side which got me thinking is it under new management .

Excellent food and good service.staff are very polite and helpful.wonderful New management.food and drinks price is average.

Newly refurbished smart and tastefully done, very clean, service was really good and freshly cooked authentic Indian food - fantastic!!

We used to always get a Chicken tikka masala from there, and it was hot, Full of flavour, and had heat too it, very nice...but now, I ordered one again, Bland watery, just not nice, Rang and complained and they said they'd make us too...

En voyage d'affaire à Measham je cherchait un restaurant indien à proximité. Le service y est rapide. Le personnel accueillant. J'ai pris un agneau Massala et des nans. J'ai bien aimé. J'aurais préféré un plat un petit peu plus copieux, mais c'était correct. En revanche, les desserts sont très ordinaires, ils gâchent le reste du repas et l'ambiance indienne. Le restaurant a son propre parking, et ils font des plats à emporter qui ont l'air d'avoir du succès.

Never used the Rickshaw before but seeing they were under new management we decided to order a delivery this evening. Not disappointed at all. Food was delicious, full of flavour and fresh. Exactly what we ordered and delivered very quickly. Absolutely recommended. We will be ordering again and can't wait to eat in too. Thank you, keep up the good work.

Under new ownership, this was the first time I had been there, and what a disappointing experience. Fortunately I was late home from work, so just called in for a takeaway. The curry was awful, just bits of meat in a watery gravy, no resemblance to an authentic curry as well. How sad that the previous high food standards have now gone. I wont be going back. And for the price extremely poor vale for money. To be fair the front line staff were really pleasant guys.

Been a while since we went to the restaurant but ordered a takeaway tonight. Four curries, rice, popadoms, naans and dips. All were nice enough but a warm at best and lacked that killer flavour I used to love from the place. Hopefully this is just a bad night for this usually lovely restaurant

Wenn man ankommt, könnte man denken das ist geschlossen. Unscheinbar...

We ordered a take away from here for the first time on Sunday. We ordered a cod bhuna which came as chicken bhuna which is nearly £3 cheaper & of which the chicken was so dry it was nearly inedible! Unfortunately we didn't have time to go back and ask for the meal to be corrected as we were going out but the other main course ordered including the starters were very bland and over cooked!

Party of 17 was split over 2 tables, despite me emailing and requesting that we were all on one table. Bill was incorrect & didn't reflect cash already paid. Served out of date Budweiser. Although plenty of food, served luke warm.. King prawns tasted rubbery and tandoori dishes were very bland. Average priced, illustrating you really do get what you pay for.

Fancy a genuine indian meal? Look no further! Whether eating in ( I'd recommend booking a table under the "tent", real cosy and romantic!) or getting a take-away, the food cannot be bettered. I believe people actually travel from Birmingham to eat here it's so good and authentic.

Highly recommended and the food is delicious. Their was a great range of choices available. We will visit again for sure.

Miserable rude staff. Food shocking. Bit grubby. Never again. The waiter couldn't even direct us to the right dishes in front of us... mixed up curries. Headache sickness and rash since

We booked for the event £20 per person which included poppadoms and pickles, a starter of choice, main course and a side dish. Plus two singers Marc Bolton and Ruth they were superb. The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly and efficient. The restaurant was fully booked 60 covers the food and service was extremely good. It was their standard menu . The chicken shaslick starter was excellent as was every dish we ordered . I am certainly going to go back one of the best Indian meals I've had in a while.

My friend and i decided, last night, to try The Rickshaw again after saying we would never go back...and how we wished we had stuck to our word!I had chicken balti...the chicken was hard, dry and tasteless. My friend had a King Prawn Bhuna...the prawns were also hard, dry and tasteless as well as being unrecognisable as prawns. The rice was slightly hard. The best thing was the bombay potatoes, at least these were cooked and mushy. I couldn't be bothered to complain and wait again for food so kinda ate the sauce around the chicken and filled up on the potato's. I'm sorry but the food is just not good, so much so it prompted me to write a review.

I have been going to this Indian on and off over the past 9 years I guess, both dine in and takeaway. It was the most attractive and authentic interior of any of the Ashby Indian's- ornate carvings here and there, booth style areas for modest privacy and a secluded tiny bar for a drink, especially whilst you wait out of the way for your takeaway collection. The interior is tired these days and the exterior in daylight is looking really quite shabby.The food has definitely gone downhill in the last couple of years. The quality of the meat in the curry is pretty bad and the ratio of sauce to meat is 'on the saucy side'. It feels to someone who had this restaurant as his faved Indian in the area, like times are hard and they are penny pinching which has sent them in a downward spiral of fewer customers, more tightening of the belt and so on.Staff are hospitable and courteous.I go elsewhere these days.

This wasn't the poshest Indian restaurant I have been too but I couldn't fault the service or food, it was wonderful. With some investment to the decor it could be very impressive (just don't change the chef)

We have only used this place because our usual is not open and I have to say I'm very dissappointed with the service. They originally told me r5mins to an hour for delivery which was fine it's Saturday evening and busy. After an hour I get a phone call saying that the lady at the address didn't have any money to pay for the delivery... no one had knocked at my door so they had gone to the wrong address. Then I was told ten mins for the delivery, 20 mins later they finally arrived with our food and (now this is a small grip) told me the order was 20.75 when I was told over the phone that it was 20.35. I said that I would pay the 20.35 because that's what I was told and they were over an hour late delivering to then have a you get girl say to me that if I couldn't afford to pay then they would need to take the food back. I will definitely not be ordering from here again as I feel the service is terrible.

This was our goto restaurant for take away curry for many years. Every Saturday we ordered a take away and within the hour a delicious hot meal would arrive with a smile. Recently however the food has become bland and there pride in each dish that leaves there restaurant appears to have gone. They need to up there game and ensure that the customer is given dishes with plenty of flavour and spices. The menu is also tired and has not been changed in a long time. We will try them again in a few months and I hope they read this review and make the necessary changes to tempt there old faithful back. Will update accordingly.

Had a takeaway. Ordered a lamb dish. This didnt definitely Baa when alive. It Moo'd. Didnt taste like any Lamb ive had before. Maybe it was a different cut

Lovely restaurant very clean and pleasant excellent food and very friendly staff, parking also available

Recently visited here with my partner and we both loved it here, inside has a lovely authentic and warm feeling! Although the music did not match the feeling of the surroundings within! The food was hot, fresh and served in a reasonable time, the waiter there was friendly and welcoming and very chatty! I would recommend this place if you are near by! Overall very tasty food!

We had a takeaway last night as my boyfriend finished late from work and it was his birthday. I picked up and ordered for him and all choices were great! We had Sag Paneer, Sag Chicken, Chicken Bhuna and a few other starters. It's the first time we have thoroughly enjoyed a takeout and I don't normally choose Indian over Chinese takeout but I think I may have been converted!! Xx

Always had a good meal at this restaurant. The food is excellent. The service was good and very reasonably priced.

The restaurant has nice decor and the staff are lovely. The food was very nice although I think the standards have dropped slightly from previous visits. Overall we all had nice meals and were impressed with the service. We would return.

The outside is misleading (albeit they have a private car park)Inside the décor is impressive with artefacts and styling that shout quality.Staff: 2 young waitresses are learning but helpful and polite. The chaps are engaging, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They are proud of their restaurant and kitchen. Everywhere is immaculate by any standards.The food was simply exquisite. I had a madras (heat) mixed Biryani and it was by far the best I have tasted. House red was very drinkable and overall the meal was dam good value. Cant wait to return...well done guys on a great job!

Since moving to the area we have tried many curry places but have found The Rickshaw to be nicest so far . Good consistency and flavours . Murghgi masalla is a strong favourite here as is a chicken bhuna. They are always happy to adjust dishes or make naan that aren't specified on the menu. My only criticisms are : the medium dishes are not spicy enough to count as medium IMO and the car park is small if eating in . Neither of those 2 negative points stops me retiring though !

We are regulars at the Rickshaw either takeaway or dining in their restaurant. The staff are always welcoming the food is excellent and consistently good. We often take our 3 children or eating as a couple the restaurant fits the bill. Car park is a little small but there is plenty of parking on the street. Always offer a delivery service.

A large work group of us visited mid-week and I was surprised at how good the food and service was. Even with such a large group, there was no need to pre-order and starters arrived for us all only about 15 minutes after we ordered. The food was tasty and the Indian beer was chilled to perfection. My Chicken Pasanda was great but the Prawn Puri starter was fantastic! I also want to call out the chutneys that came with the popodums. A great selection and each one fresh and full of flavour.It was really quiet mid-week with only one other person dining but don't let this put you off as the food is worth it. Very good indeed.

Had our normal Friday night take away from the Rickshaw, still good food and constant since the times it was the Rajni. Very nice Staff and nice settings for a sit down meal if you prefer

Have visited here on many occasions with my friends for birthdays and with my family. on all occasions the food has been lovely! whilst i am a fan of chicken korma and masala. the chicken tikka passanda is lovely and the chicken pathia is also exceptional! The staff on all occasions have been extremely friendly and offer a brilliant service! the drinks can be a bit pricey but not really much more than elsewhere.

I recently went for a meal on Saturday night with friends who'd travelled up to see us, so based on past experience we chose the Rickshaw. The service was very good, but the food, especially the main courses were very poor.My wife had a prawn dish, but we struggle to spot a single whole prawn, it looked more like mush, very unapatising. One of our friends had another dish an the waiter confirmed what we had expected is that it was made with tomatoe ketchup! Hardly Indian cuisine.Although the service was good, the food spoilt what I had expected to be one of the highlights of the evening.

Went there early on a Saturday evening with my Mum who's currently on crutches. The staff were super attendant with her and made us feel very welcome. The menu was extensive, but due to the low level lighting Mum found it difficult to read! I'm all for mood lighting but it was a bit too dark. The service was very promp and the pickles with the popadums very tasty. My bench mark curry when trying anywhere new is chicken patia. This wasn't as firery or zingy as I like it, but is was ok. (I like my curry on fire).Mum had the Tandori Prawns with spinach. The waiter recommended extra garlic, which took it to a new level. Mum was thrilled to bits. Everybody enjoyed thier meal and despite service starting to get busy, we were not rushed to cavate the table. The staff were equally attentive helping our exit. I can recommned to anybody with a medim disability.

We had a takeaway from Rickshaw when some friends visited. The food was excellent and I will definitely use their takeout menu again.

Excellent food. Wonderful staff. I had a special vindaloo cooked to perfection. The restaurant was fully booked. Buzzing. Such a great night out. Best curry ever

Booked a meal with friends, really good service and choice on the menu, however the food was nothing special when it arrived, my Medium Hot dish was more like a chicken stew that lacked flavour or heat. Overall ok but not rush back and better places to eat

I randomly chose the Richshaw as I was in the area on business. The staff were polite and attentive, well they couldn't use the excuse that they were busy as I was the only one there. I was shoved in a corner out of the way.The food was plentiful and OK taste. I ordered the Nina masala. A king prawn tikka masala. The food was ok, not amazing.If I'm in the area again I'd try somewhere else before returning to the Rickshaw.

My husband and I recently visited mid-week. Having visited a couple of years ago and being severely disappointed in the standard of food we decided to try again after hearing from friends that it was 'really good now'! The restaurant was empty (6-30pm) but I've come to expect that since moving to Ashby! The welcome was ok, decor and furnishings are nice. The young waiter was obviously very inexperienced but was polite enough. Poppadoms arrived quickly with 4 sauces/pickles. What was supposed to be the yoghurt & mint sauce looked like runny custard and tasted of nothing. Even the onions were bland! We both ordered 'medium' curries - both were devoid of flavour, there was no spicing and not even a hint of heat. May as well have ordered a Korma (but even that should have some lovely flavours). We ordered mushroom fried rice - what came was just normal white rice with a few anaemic mushrooms stirred in. No sign of being fried and no sign of any flavour. How can they get it so wrong!! I previously lived in Sutton Coldfield for many years where there are dozens of excellent Indian restaurants serving tasty, well presented, beautiful food at more reasonable prices. Maybe I've been spoiled but the lovely people of Ashby deserve better than this and those who are giving good reviews of the food at the Rickshaw have obviously never eaten a decent curry. Needless to say we won't be going back. We will head back to De La Zouch which serves great food or drive 25 miles to Sutton Coldfield where a decent curry is almost guaranteed.

This place used to be very good, something must have happened recently, new owners, new chef, new staff? Who knows & sad to say it's gone down hill rapidly, dreadful service, quality of food appalling Certainly won't be returning in the future - Get it sorted Rickshaw b 4 u inevitably close down

we booked for 16 people to visit this restaurant for New Years eve. So we paid our £ 70 deposit and were booked in for 7.30. actually 14 people from our party attended and we all turned up on time. summary of the evening goes as follows- arrived at the Richshaw and had to fight our way through a queue of people waiting for take aways !!then we were seated at two separate tables of eight !!! not a good start we had been there twenty minutes and were not even asked if we wanted drinks !then we had to wait for drinks due to the size of the takeaway queue who also used the bar to collect food !!40 mins later we chased up menus !we had to request papadoms four timesstarters finally arrived after 90 + minutes main courses then did not arrive at all in between all of this at least four other small parties arrived, were fed and had left !main courses turned up around 150 minutes into our sitting food was disgusting ]no taste, no sauce service was none existent the Manager was a disgrace the staff were rude, and clearly do not understand good customer service the quality of the food was five times worse than the pre packed Indian food you can get from Supermarkets up and down the Country this has to be the worst Indian on the planet and I strongly urge you to pick a better venue.

So tonight was hurrendous!! Our first visit to the Rickshaw, for some of our party they had visited before without an issue (but only as a take away). We booked a table for 17(which we had paid a £70 deposit for), when we arrived they seated us over and the group had been split into two tables. We hadn't been told about this which was disappointing but we just went with it. That was it for half an hour, just sit there and wait for them to finish serving everybody else! We were getting drinks at the bar which was a nightmare in itself! We then had to ask for some menus as still no one had acknowledged us! When the menus were finally delivered, we asked for some poppadoms whilst we were looking at the menu, the man said no because some of our party were at the bar and he needed everyone seated before we could order poppadoms!!!! So eventually we got some poppadoms! We then waited and waited for someone to come and take our food order. This order was taken an hour after we had arrived! We waited over an hour for our starters to arrive so we asked how long this was likely to take, they kept saying 2 minutes, 2 minutes, they're coming now. Another 20 minutes and two starters came, one which was wrong but eaten anyway for the hunger had taken over! These two starters finished by the time the next two arrived. We had children with us Aswel so we had to order a plate of chips for them as they were getting impatient and very hungry!! The two people that had finished there starters asked the manager? If he could start preparing the main meals straight away so they were ready to come out as soon as the starters were cleared. No such luck. The starters were cleared after we piled all the plates up after being ignored, our hot plates in the middle remained cold as still had not been lit, we had no plates given to us for the food to come so we knew we were still in for a long wait! Four tables that walked in an hour and a half after us were all served there meals before we even had our starters!!! The amount of take aways was ridiculous! It was so poorly managed. Our food then arrived. Inedible and to be honest, most of us had gone past the point of being hungry, 10.15pm our mains arrived, 3 hours after our table was booked!!!!! We nearly missed seeing the new year in! The curry's had no sauce, they were like just meat and thick stews!!! Which can be seen in the picture. One member of the party, had raw chicken, this also after having frozen prawns in there starter!!!! The chicken curry was identical to the two kormas we had, only it tasted of oranges? A really strong orange taste. The rogan josh was dry and tasteless with tonnes of vegetables! The whole experience was awful. Every time we tried to speak to a waiter, we were ignored, we had been promised that the manager would come and speak to us, NOTHING!!! Didn't even go near the bar where he'd been all night! He was hiding away!! Then came sorting the bill, he told us to pay what we wanted! We said we weren't payong more than half!The bill came to 212 and we'd already paid 70 so agreed to give them another 30 and call it square! He agreed and as we were leaving, got angry with us and told us we owed him £6 as this was half the bill!! THE CHEEK!!! The staff are rude and arrogant, food not great, the way it's run, appalling!!! The whole place is terrible. Will never return, ANY OF US!!!!!!! Couldn't see where they'd gone wrong or even apologise!! Not happy at all.

I have just had about the 20th takeaway from this place recently having moved nearby about 6 years ago, i dot know if they have changed chef but the last three takeaways i have had from here have been a total disappointment from the previous high standards.they need to up their game, they have slumped into being extremely average

It's dangerous having The Rickshaw on our commute home. It's fast becoming a weekly tradition that we grab a takeaway from The Rickshaw. Having gotten to know the staff during our visits, we no longer order over the phone but opt to go in and have a chat. They're always incredibly friendly and accommodating, stopping to make conversation, even when they're busy with other customers. Great atmosphere and the food continues to be fantastic. Definitely highly recommended by myself and my partner!

Curry's just aren't the same in Australia and after a year of below average korma's and poor quality naan's I was in dire need of a 'proper' Indian. My Australian partner wasn't keen, having only had a life of Aussie curries, but I eventually persuaded him to try the Tikka Masala and he's a convert (something we beat Australian's at, other than the Ashes...). My favourite side is Saag Paneer and it's near impossible to find it just the way I like it - I was spoiled by having a Sri Lankan roommate at Uni who treated me to home made spoils - but the Saag Paneer from The Rickshaw hits the spot. Fast delivery, big portions and fantastic flavours.

Really disappointed that I am having to write this review. The restaurant have really let themselves down this evening. Ordered a takeaway, it's a random Wednesday evening and we only ordered two main meals with sides. It took just over an hour and a half. Used the delivery service in the past on a number of occasions.....there is always a delay, but never to this extent mid week. No apology, but a very 'stand offish' character at my door, telling me that he did me a favour by delivering to my area. Their website states they deliver here, and we have had many previous deliveries here! Never by this driver though! Such a shame, as we usually enjoy the food. This evening it was cold. We shall certainly never order again from here, but I don't think they will be overly fussed from the attitude they portrayed.
