Ordered online and payment taken. 15 mins later order still not accepted, message from Just Eat saying they’re chasing. Another 15 minutes later the order was rejected. Great, thanks for that Not surprised reviews on Google are turned off Shows as permanently closed which they might as well be.

My birthday treat today decided to go to the star of India for a curry, on arrival there was nobody in the restaurant we ordered our food. The food came out and it was absolutely bland. No flavour whatsoever. The chicken was like rubber and unfortunately we left our dinner pay the bill and walked out will not be returning to this restaurant again Usually on a Friday we go out for a curry and some of the restaurants in Northampton. This is one of the worst I’ve ever had reported it to the staff and they didn’t seem interested.

Very flavoursome dishes, both the curries and sides. Balti Naga was hot but still got the flavours. Excellent service. The deciding rating for keema to naan ratio we scored 8.5.

Awful night, will not be returning attended for my sisters birthday meal and we had barely sat down before the waiters were rushing around like they wanted us out the door as soon as possible ! practially throwing menus at us and asking us for our orders before i had even taken my coat off, they were in such a hurry all night that one waiter managed to spill a glass of Ice water over my husband's back ! he was totally soaked, his clothes were wet through, and the waiter just found it funny !!! no towel or apology offered Nothing ! I know this was an accident, but his attitude was an embarrassment ! the meal was very average, but the service was shocking ! everything was rushed, food practically thrown on the table, waiter was miserable, rude and clearly just wanted us to go. When it came to asking for the bill to leave, we waited to pay longer than we had been in the restaurant altogether ! no mention of the water incident no appology, not even a free drink offered, and when we asked for the change from the bill, the waiter looked disgusted (the same waiter who had spilt water all over my husband!) we were NOT leaving a TIP I am actually disgusted they didnt even offer to cover anything due to the incident, we normally always tip but this service was absolutely shocking, it was like shopping at aldi but trying to eat a meal on the conveyor belt! I dont take the time to write reviews unless it is very good or very bad ! this warranted one !

Yes of course expectations are lower when you get a curry home delivered. One word fits the whole meal - bland.

Had a take away to welcome friends back into our home after 3 months. Ordered for 6pm delivery and it arrived on time. Excellent value for a delicious “banquet”, each dish looking & tasting so different. Accompanied by naans & rice, poppadoms & pickles. We have been visiting the restaurant for 30 years but never used the takeaway. The only thing missing was the experience of being in the restaurant with its excellent attention and service.

As a Indian person I have been to many Indian restaurants round the country. I have to say this is worst food I have tasted in the last 15 years. The same chicken we ordered in our starter was the same in our main course. The portion sizes were very small and the nan was rock solid. I won’t be going back to this restaurant again, it’s a same as it’s my local Indian restaurant.

This place is 55years old, this year. I think that is incredible. We used to go here regularly, but due to distance we stopped going. Many years ago we went to school with some of the family. So this Sunday we thought we would give it a go. Now you can see from my other reviews that we are quite fussy. We couldn't fault the place, the first big tick for me, is how clean it is. It smells and looks clean. The food is another big tick, fresh, tasty and a good choice. Bodrel us extremely happy and courteous. The toilets are clean, which us always a bonus. The toilets are up steep stairs so worth noting if your mobility is limited.

Have enjoyed eating here in the past, thought we'd give it a go for Christmas Day. This was a mistake. Very busy and the staff just seemed overwhelmed. We waited over 40 minutes for our main course (pre-ordered) and when it finally arrived it was dry and lukewarm. We were all so hungry we ate it anyway. After another long wait for the pre-ordered dessert we just wanted to leave so took it with us, bagged up. The manager actually apologised to us when we left but didn't knock anything off the bill and we just wanted to get out by this point so didn't argue the case. Actually spoiled Christmas Day, what a shame.

Tried this place for the first time, never again. Bland, tasteless currys with no flavour, bad peshwari naan (Dry and dusty yet oily) Overall so bad neither of us wanted to eat our food, complained to the manager who was argumentative and accused me of disrespecting the chef. We were given money off the total price but still payed £17 for only eating two popadoms and a couple of juices. The worst Indian food I've ever had (and I've tried a lot) and terrible customer service. Overall a really unpleasant experience.

Well what has happened? I have loved this restaurant and it was my Indian restaurant of choice. Tonight I ordered a take away. My old favourites were off the menu and the food that arrived was frankly awful. The chicken tikka masala was curdled and running water and so was the other curry. Frozen? I don't know. The meat content was minimal. I know times are hard and costs have to be cut but Star of India you have lost my custom for good in and out of the restaurant by this appalling excuse for a meal. There is plenty of competition out there. You should have stuck to your guns and given the customer good food even if you had to up your prices.

I've been here a few times before and always been well looked after. We went as a party of 9, booked at very short notice after a drink in the Picturedrome (effectively next door). Service was good and unhurried, friendly staff. One of the part described a dish which didn't seem to be on the very large menu and they made it for him. If, like me, you have difficulty choosing (or even differentiating) between so may items, they have a venison and duck section, so I'd recommend trying that. I had korai (not sure how they spell it) duck which was very nicely cooked. We had some starters and main courses, rice, nan and some side dishes and a couple of drinks and got out for about £25, and overall thought it really good.

Restaurant temperature comfortable, music at the right level for number of customers (total of four tables dining through the visit), could always get a server's attention - drinks, food and bill all arrived quickly and correct. £4.95 for a pint of cider seemed expensive, my soft drink was £2.25.There were no distracting screens in the restaurant.The food - portion size was OK - we had Bombay Gusht with Chicken and Veg Thali. I'd rate it higher had the Gusht been larger as I all but finished it. It was pretty much exactly what I'd wanted, rich and spicy, but I could have asked for it to be made a little hotter. Popadums and a selection of pickles were good. Vegetarian Thali: every dish I tried was good, and one or two were really delicious - the chickpeas, mushroom, and cauliflower, specifically. The naan was great: fluffy and crispy, and hot, and came half-portioned for people to tear. With a starter I think the Thali would be enough for two, and my partner brought about half of it home.The total price with a half lager and a soft drink was £38. The food didn't disappoint but I couldn't afford to eat here often with alternatives (albeit perhaps not of this quality) available within walking distance at not much more than half the price.

Excellent in every aspect: polite and friendly staff, very nice food, relaxed atmosphere and well reasonable prices. I took my daughter as a birthday treat, and I must say we had superb dining for 2 of us for £40. This included the papadams, a starter, main dishes with side dishes, drinks, dessert, tea and coffee. All this in a nicely kept, clean, pleasantly furnished and relaxed place. The two waiters we dealt with were polite, helpful and easy going. My daughter loved it (me too). Oh, the food was really tasty, filling and piping hot. I tried some of the house specialties, which I would definitely recommend. There is nothing I disliked, I give a definite 5 star for this one!

Was recommended this restaurant by a few colleagues who said this was the best Indian in town. Prices, including wine, were reasonable but the meal wasn't anything special. I had a chicken dhansak - my benchmark dish when trying a different Indian restaurant - and I felt it was a bit mild for my tastebuds and the chicken was quite dry. The garlic nan I ordered lacked garlic. Pilau rice was ok. Interior of restaurant and service good but as this isn't local to me I'm unlikely to go again and have expressed my disappointment to colleagues.

First time visit with friends. Nice atmosphere, very popular. An extensive menu of meat and veggie dishes, cold cobra lager and very good service. Opted for poppadoms and mains only which was plentiful even with a large appetite like mine, would definitely go again.

I have, in the past, felt the food was good at the star of india . However, the recent takeaway was probably one of the worst curries I have ever had.The dhansak was more like a soup type texture, was extremely bland, and what was meant to be vegetable dhansak seemed to contain no vegetables, just a sauceThe balti was dreadful, and just did not taste at all spicyas Northampton has a lot of curry houses, i will simply never get a teakeaway from the star of india again. In short, the takeaway we had was abysmal

Known Budrul a number of years, he's very welcoming. The Venison Tikka masala was sublime just fell apart. Fantastic.

I last visited the star of India around eight years ago and after a very disappointing meal hadn't been back. The food was pretty grim, really dry & tasted like it had been warmed up from lunch time!Last weekend my friend chose the restaurant for her birthday celebrations, I was a little apprehensive but I was pleasantly surprised. I opted for a jeera chicken korai with a naan bread and it was delicious. The portions were large and everyone enjoyed what they had.The only downside was the service was a little slow because they were so busy & it took asking two different people over ten minutes to finally get the bill.I would return again but it is more expensive than most other local places I've visited.The restaurant is just around the corner from the picturedrome where we went to watch a band afterwards.

Overall a nice meal. All food that everyone ordered seemed to go down well. Service was a little slow and waiters were not as attentive as you may hope.

From reading the good reviews about food, I can only assume that the chef who cooked those meals was on his day off !The driest chicken I've ever attempted to eat, served by staff who looked as if they were being held at gun point to be there.Not a good experience and one I will not be repeating.

Was surprised to find this place as it was not located near any of the other common Indians in northampton, I.e. Wellingborough road, however it surprised me! My husband and I loved it and will definitely be going back. Staff are friendly and attentive. Well done.

Been here many times, food is always good! They fitted is in last night with no prior booking, although very busy the service was reasonable! We had a bit of a wait for main course but was worth waiting for! Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the area

Star of India is a nice setting and good service. The food is great and although slightly higher in price than other similar restaurants it is worth it. The Sunday buffer is great as well

We went as a party of eight and had a table booked in advance, as we arrived the staff started to show us to our take before we all got inside the restaurant (not a good start). The sat us down and the just left us there and it was another five minutes before we were given the menus, we ordered drinks and they took and age to arrive. We then ordered poppadoms which were really greasy. I found that the pickles did not taste like they should have, the lime pickle was not all spicy of hot, the chutney was bland, the mixed salad was nearly all onion and the yogurt was tasteless. We then order our meals which again took ages to arrive, we also asked for the pickles to be left for the main course but they took them away. The food arrive and was just chucked on the table in front of us they got the pilau rice wrong as I has request mushroom pilau and got special pilau which was full of peas carrots and sweetcorn (which I partially hate) we found the food to be luke warm and very very bland not the lovely spicy food you expect at a decent Indian restaurant. I had chicken dupiazi which was very bland and full of onions, my wife had the land sago and wondered were the meat was as there was hardly any in the dish at all. My brother in Law had a madras which he said was it at all hot. The naans were cold and burnt. As for the staff they should be taught how to smile and interact with the customers, they were totally mannerless, unfriendly and stood around talking to each other. I will ensure I give this place a wide berth when ever I visit Northampton there surely must be far better Indian restaurants in that area.

I have been going to this resturant for the last 15 years, and I have introduced my children to it. Even though a little more exspensive than town, customer service amazing. Every waiter looks spick and span and manners beautiful. Food absolutely excellent. Beautiful environment and atmosphere, food is as good as any top hotel in London.

It is always good to get a local recommendation when visiting an area and the Star of India was recommended to us when visiting the area. We were literally spoiled for choice, taking a good while to decide, we eventually went for a couple of restaurant specialities - Special Tikka Mossala and Khata Murg Korai both dishes were absolutely superb.Will definitely return when next in Northampton.

Never had a bad meal here. Staff always friendly and welcoming. The menu has some different dishes that you don't often see on other Indian menus.We had poppadoms with our drinks while deciding what to eat, the service was spot on in terms of time and attention. The wine list is not that extensive but the chardonnay we chose was great value and very palatable. The starters arrived in good time and were a great size, enough to get a good taste of the food but not to much to interfere with the main meal.The main meal itself was very good, you could taste all the ingredients without being overpowered by a single flavour that can happen especially with the hotter dishes.The bill did take a while but if this is the only complaint then there is not much to complain about really.Reasonably priced and a nice atmosphere, looking forward to visiting the restaurant again.

This is a great value for money restaurant. You can take your own drinks, and there's an off license just down the road where you can buy some drinks.

Went to Merlin’s for a birthday get together, the food was delicious, with a big group of us the service was fairly quick too! Restaurant is quite small, so wouldn’t recommend a big group of people. Everything else was great!
