West Bars Tandoori in Chesterfield

I got a takeaway. Food was good. I forgot to order an extra mint sauce, which they sorted for me. Takeaway portions are usually good. I always go here for my takeaways! Eat in is a bit expensive for me. The atmosphere depends on the clientele that are in at any given time.

Having ordered 3 takeaways in the last week tonight's is very poor no pickle tray.We could have complained but to wait for "re delivery" food would be cold. Not too happy too be fair and unlikely to reorder. As a positive all delivery drivers are customer focused.

Shame the food is good, because the customer service and delivery is absolutely atrocious. Ordered at 17:45 on a Saturday night, probably one of the first orders of the night seeing as it opens at 17:30. Food didn’t arrive until 20:05. 2 hours & 20 minutes wait… bearing in mind I live 9 minutes drive from the restaurant. Had to call 3 times in total to get my order, when it arrived it was lukewarm and it was wrong. I ordered a paneer tikka masala and a few other bits which came to a total of £22 and they gave me a chicken tikka masala, which I couldn’t eat because I’m a vegetarian. When I put the order in, it said it would arrive by 19:15, I left it until 19:20 to call to check where my order was. The guy who answered gave a very half heartedly apology, was sighing heavily on the phone in annoyance even though I was understanding and polite with him. He asked the chefs and it seemed they hadn’t even started my order an hour and a half after I made the order. He said 15-20 minutes wait, I said don’t worry. 45 minutes later… nothing… called again… said 3 minutes away. Didn’t arrive til 10 minutes after that call and the driver had a bad attitude as well as if us waiting over 2 hours for the wrong order and tepid food was an inconvenience. I called again to let them know the order was wrong, he said he didn’t have any drivers and I would have to wait 45 more minutes to get the curry out to me. I said forget it, give me a refund and he cheekily only offered a refund for the curry only. I asked him to process the refund now, and he stalled saying to call back later to get the refund. I said no now and he made the excuse that he has to ask the manager. I told him to get the manager and he said he will be 10/15 minutes. I put the phone down and drove to the restaurant and returned all the food back and demanded a full refund. The restaurant was busy and the guy I had been speaking with whispered under his breath so not to alert other customers that there was an issue. He whispered if he can just get me my correct curry instead of a refund and I said no, take the food and give me a full refund, which they obliged hesitantly in cash. I think they only gave me the refund because I was with my brother, but from the way they were being on the phone and other reviews I have read, I’m convinced they would have tried to avoid giving me the refund if I was on my own. Never ordering from here again or eating in either. Very greedy business. Wants the orders and business but doesn’t have the capacity to fulfil them, so instead of turning orders away, they make customers wait unreasonably long periods, do not keep customers updated, deliver food cold, don’t offer refunds off their own back in hopes you’ll just roll over and just provide all round terrible customer service. Such a shame because the food I’ve had once before was nice, but that previous order I had to wait 1 hour and a half + and they didn’t even know an order came through until I rang them about it! Avoid avoid avoid.

Excellent. Lovely staff. Gorgeous food. Clean place. Thanks for letting me wait inside for my taxi.

This is my local restaurant. Been coming here over 12 years now. Never had a bad meal. Nice little place to eat in, or they will deliver if you want a take away. Friendly staff. Wouldnt go anywhere else in Chesterfield.

Very good food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Amazing food always. The staff are excellent aswell.

By far the best in Chesterfield. Excellent service and top quality food. I recommend without hesitation.

Consistently good quality and value for money. Never been disappointed with the service or food I've received. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic Asian cuisine.

Fantastic selection of curries that go beyond the usual. The chef specials are highly recommended. Excellent service and attentive staff. Very well priced as well, you can't go wrong. We were in a large group and the food all arrived together with no problems.

Brilliant curry highly recommend

One of the best currys I have had got a long time

Owner is not very welcoming and the food is very average, the food was very salty!

A really good curry best I have ever had in a long time

Good Indian Restaurant, well established.

After walking around the Peaks all day,we were starving. Googled Chesterfield and Westbars came up,turned out to be an excellent choice........By me. To be honest,I wasn't too impressed with Westbars from the outside,but inside it was a different story. Nice decor,beautifully clean and excellent washroom facilities. The Service was fantastic,the attention to detail and attentiveness to us was just right,very professional. The food was lovely and the portions were generous. Abrock,the owner,deserves a special mention for his service. Thoroughly recommend

Just started eating here again.... ordered a large takeaway order the previous day to take away on a weekend away. Food ready on time and all was excellent and great quality. Have to say this is one if not the best priced Indian restaurants in Chesterfield.... Definitely worth a visit or takeaway...... our total bill was some £20 cheaper than other restaurants 👍

Great food, friendly on the phone when placing our order and friendly when we went to collect. 10/10 would recommend. I’d never use a different Indian than this one. Consistently beautiful food

Ali and all the staff are Amazing x Highly recommend x food outstanding x

Best Indian in Chesterfield. Love the staff always friendly and welcoming

Food was nice but £17 for chicken balti and kema nan was very expensive could have had take away and paid taxi fare home sorry not again and no price on website to eat in

Take away this time but love their food.

Great food and friendly service.

Been here a few times. The food is lovely.

Ali and the team always give a very warm welcome and great service. We have used them for over 15 years eating in and takeaways and have never had a bad meal. We continue to use them even though we now have a 20 mile round trip to collect our takeaways. Thank you guys

Really good! Lovely food, nice and hot, staff pleasant, restaurant was very clean. Would definitely visit again!!!!!!

Food was good Pickle tray a little boring ....Two onion pickles Good portion size We had the Biriani

Great value for money great choice

Beautiful Indian restaurant. Staff are amazingly friendly and very attentive. Food is gorgeous. Fast service for both eat in and take away. Prices reasonable.

Best Curry I have had in Chesterfield, special balti and garlic mushrooms 👌

Amazing food, staff were lovely. Best Indian I've had in a long time. Naga is definitely not for the faint hearted. Portion sizes are spot on. All the food was exceptionally tasty and flavourful. Will definitely be back

Chicken Tikka Naga is exceptional! Not for the faint hearted but highly recommended if you enjoy spice 🙏

Food far too expensive, /£4.40 Nan, £4,40 Rice, Main £14.00. Will avoid unless they reduce their prices

Ordered a delivery. Food outstanding.☆☆☆☆☆ Delivery quick enough.☆☆☆☆☆ Website and ordering process very confusing and clunky, please fix ☆

Nice little Indian we had poppadums and pickles followed by a curry each and it was very nice

Great food and excellent service

Food was great well spiced service very good prices not over the top.

Good food, large portions and good service. Our 'goto' Indian.

Definitely the best Indian restaurant in chesterfield, never disappointed with the delicious food or the wonderful service.

Okay, so really, we were after fish & chips, but at the time of ordering, everywhere was closed. We changed our plans and opted for curry, but both of our usual two curry houses were closed. West Bars Tandoori was open. We ordered 2x curries, 2x naans, rice and a chicken chat, which came to just shy of £30. Unfortunately, we weren't impressed. We've had ALOT of curries from various locations and eateries and we've never been so disappointed. The peshwari naan was bone dry and upon tearing, the entire filling completely crumbled out. The rice had several large clumps of balled up rice in it. The Chat was flavourless and both of our curries (Chicken Methi & Chicken Saag) lacked flavour too. The chicken was very dry and wasn't enjoyable to eat at all. Around half of the food ended up in the bin. After a long day and a hankering for a meal we didn't have to cook ourselves, we were thoroughly disappointed. We'll definitely not be ordering from here again. We would've been better nipping to Tesco for a microwave meal than spending our money here. You live and learn. Waste of money & calories. 2 Stars because it was open when everywhere else was closed & didn't give us food poisoning.

3 stars purely because of the prices, the food is very good but £14.80 for a standard curry without rice or any other extras is just way too much, I know were in a cost of living crisis but to almost double the prices is just too much. There is others in chesterfield serving equally good food a lot cheaper.

We ordered chicken curry, aloo paratha and Garlic Naan. chicken curry can still be better. Need to be more authentic as am being an Indian we love bit masala into the curry. Other that that we also had a desert which was very good. Atmosphere was damn good and cosy.

Excellent food and attentive staff

My chicken korma was very runny, not much taste, its always a £ or too more than calculations

Top food top service, I've used Westbars for 25 years.

Finally found a great place with food that's really tasty. Customer service excellent and quick great delivery. We had 4-5 dishes and they were all really delicious. Plus dips and poppadoms and salad added in the bag!

They catered for a party on a Friday night. Generous portions, all delicious, arrived hot and on time. Highly recommend.

Always great food. Best in Chesterfield.

Good food, fair price, friendly hosts, I will be back.

Just had a meal delivered for 3 of us on my birthday. Really outstanding. I like lamb curries and most places serve mainly fatty meat. Not West Bars though. All lean meat, all delicious. Thanks!

Amazing place! I’m an Indian guy who’s from London and loves Indian food (of course!) and have never come across a place who has such authentic food that’s the same as my mothers food - wouldn’t say that lightly!

Amazing food we order from here quiet frequently due to how tasty and fresh the food is. Allways on time and a friendly service.

Food was OK but there was no time taken by staff between starter and main infant one of out party was still eating her starter when the main came out

Great service, great value and food tasted fresh and authentic. Can't fault it at all and would go back. Don't be put off if the place looks closed, just try the door.

Visited 26/6/22 for my partners birthday, great choice of establishment, food is out of this world absolutely amazing, with friendly staff would 100 % recommend and will definitely visit again

Clean with good food and professional staff

Absolutely brilliant! We love it....definitely recommend;)

Went on the recommendation of a mate. Really good food and would go back next time I'm in the area

Great food thoughtful staff. Best cheese Nan I’ve ever had

First time coming to chesterfield so after looking at reviews decided to book here . This didn't disapoint outstanding piping hot food friendly service food amazing Highley recommend 👌

Fantastic food as usual and great service.

We booked a table for 8pm and were sat down on time. It took a while before somebody took our order and our starter arrived eventually.However we then waited over 40 minutes for our main course. We were then told it would be about 10 minutes. Then we were asked to move tables to make from for a large party.We did move - paid for what we had already had and left.We will not use this place again. The food is good but the waits between courses are not reasonable.It's sad because we've used the restaurant quite a lot but the level of service is just not good enough.

Whenever we are in Chesterfield we always go to this restaurant. The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly, attentive and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit.

We love this place,but over 2 hours wait for a takeaway? Sorry but totally unacceptable,we’ve got to find somewhere else

Always used these as the food is always the same, not the best but far from the worst and easy to order online. This is the third time in a row it has taken 2 hours plus for delivery (we live less than a mile away) and three times i have rang to be told it is nearly ready. I won't be lied to.Can accept things get busy on saturdays but our last order was midweek. Once wasn't great, twice annoyed me but three times has sent me elsewhere. No next time from me. Oh and this time i got told i should expect an hour and a half, im still waiting 2 hours and 20 minutes so far. And the order is paid for.

This is our favourite curry house in Chesterfield. The menu is varied, the staff are friendly and efficient and the food is great.

Decided to visit the West Bars Tandoori , as we were in the vicinity. I have used its Takeaway Service on several occasions ,so it seemed appropriate to give the Restaurant a try.Very comfortable Restaurant. Pleasant and modern ambiance with prompt and friendly Service. The Menu appeared to be surprisingly restricted compared to the Takeaway Menu. However we ordered some dishes including Fish Jalfrezi , Chicken Begum Bahar and Chicken Tikka Ceylon. Food was well-presented but the taste was not exceptional. Indeed , the Chicken Tikka Ceylon was very dull. We had Rice , Nan Bread and side dishes and the cost was reasonable. However , we all felt that there was something lacking in the overall quality of the Food. We may return , but I am sure that other Restaurants may deliver the goods somewhat better.

Took my dad out for an early Father’s Day (because let’s face it, you’ll struggle to get in anywhere on the day). Straight in, drinks away, food ordered, job done. Only downside is white wine isn’t served by the glass, only red. I can’t drink red but hey ho, more beer will suffice!

Not been here for about a year and this time it was on the spur of the moment. Quick service and a good variety of choice. Food came quickly and was very enjoyable - now back to the diet.

We had a group of 10 for a saturday night celebration dinner. The staff went out of their way to make us welcome and the food was probably best curry I have had in Chesterfield.

Went in on a Saturday night without booking a table and the staff were very accommodating to find us a spot. When we sat down the food and drinks were lovely. Great menu including some interesting dishes. The whole meal was delicious and the staff were friendly and efficient. Would return.

Fabulous dinner as always at West bar tandoori. Flavoursome and very reasonable! Serve cobra beer on draught too! All round great restaurant with attentive service.

Ordered a takeaway to be told it would be 1 hour 20 mins. Thought this was quite a long wait but accepted this. 2 hours later takeaway was still not delivered. After ringing West Bars we were told he was on our road (total lie), after another half hour we rang them again to be told he could not get through on the phone (total lie) and the order had been taken back. No contact from them when driver returned. Only after us phoning them did we know the situation.

This curry house was recommended by a friends, friend. In my opinion it's a very average restaurant. The food was okay, but didn't have the WOW factor, the customer service was okay, the server came across as not very confident and the ambience of the restaurant didn't have the WOW factor either.

We visited on Friday evening for the first time and really enjoyed it. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our food and thought it was good value for money.

Having had a couple of days away we returned home and decided rather than collecting a takeaway we would have one delivered. Our usual Indian restaurant doesn't deliver so we decided to try West Bars instead. Easy enough online ordering and as it's a Saturday evening we knew it wouldn't be 10 minutes away. So we waited and waited and waited and waited. After 65 minutes we phoned to find out how long the delivery would be. We were told it is being dealt with now and will be out soon. So we waited and waited. Eventually the delivery arrived..... 105 minutes after ordering. We dived straight only to find some if the order missing and other items added that we did not order. As I vegetarian I didn't want to risk eating the un ordered items. With the remaining items left we sat down to eat only to find out it was not only cold, but also lacking in flavour.... it was average at best. I can honestly say I am very disappointed as the reviews suggested we were in for a treat and all we received was a late, cold and incorrect order coupled with huge distain at selecting this restaurant.We will never select this place again for a meal.

This must be one of the best Indians in Chesterfield. It was so busy and I had to wait a while for my take away but to be fair you know it's going to be worth the wait...it was!Chicken tandoori balti with Bombay potatoes and garlic naan, heaven.

Hands down the best tandoori Indian food we have had in Chesterfield. Felt clean fresh and super tasty with excellent service we will be back and telling all our friends!

This place is a safe bet. It was not amazing but no great disappointment - other than the pike tray that lacked any umph. Service was ok - functional and pleasant - like the food. Not keen on sitting at a table to eat next to the toilet whilst also watched by people sat waiting for takeways, maybe a small screen would help? Nothing wrong but nothing outstanding - a reliable middle standard place for when you want one.

Superb quality food. Cooked exactly how I asked it to be done. What is not to like. Will return if in area. Good prices too

A small group of us went and all enjoyed. Great service and atmosphere topped with excellent food. Well priced and will return.

A very good standard of Indian Food that has been consistently maintained over a number of years. Nice Restaurant and an efficient Takeaway Service. Good Menu with tasty dishes. Positive , friendly Service and reasonable prices. A versatile Food Provider that is certainly worth trying. I will be back.

You will never beat the chicken tikka masala. We have been regular customers for well over 20 years and will continue to visit and order take away meals due to the excellent quality, good portion sizes and outstanding friendly service. Big shout out to Roy, one of the delivery drivers, always on time and friendly!

ordered a take out meal from here as part of a family gathering. Some wanted Chinese food and others wanted Indian food. One advantage is that as there is an Chinese restaurant very close by we were able to liaise the two and everyone was happy. Food was typical takeout quality which was just the thing - it tastes so much better when you are breaking a diet. Despite arranging a pick up time we still had to wait for the food but other than that it was problem free.

This is my all time favourite takeaway, I go here regularly and the standard is always high and delicious. Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala, chicken saag and madras!

Well after trying a few more local Indians I have to confess.......... I have had a couple of good meals at other Indian restaurant/takeaways .....just because you can I guess......but I always return to my favourite haunt.....and I realise why now.....I have never done a review f west bars and really don't know why....because this is always bang on !!!!!!I know sometimes you can't get through on the phone, I know it's generally late....but what it is ....is consistently brilliant....I did do what others do and vote with my feet whilst in a strop of having been kept waiting and having to fetch it when I could have done without.....but that aside it is and always will be my go to Indian in chesterfield.......the staff are always friendly the food is always sublime.....it's a shame they are a victim of their own success with regard to waiting times....but hey ho...you want brilliance you have to wait.......Go to it all Indian lovers....increase my waiting times....they deserve to stay busy!!!!!!!!!!!

first visit to west bars and so glad we gave the restaurant a go.Having read some of the negative reviews.We ordered a selection of starters which were very good and 2 chilli garlic lamb currys with vegatable rice and a garlic naan bread with quite a few beers all for £54 all round very good food at a very reasonable price would definitely recomend this restaurant.

Unfortunately, 2 hours late and still waiting...rang them and was told on the way...still waiting...hopefully it will arrive.. Shane white

My partner and I were visiting Chesterfield for one night and really fancied a ruby Murray. Found West Bars was a 5 minute walk from our hotel. We were really happy with the great service and the food was delicious(pls see photos!) and very reasonably priced too.

Four of us went last night after a recommendation. Wish we hadn't. The restaurant is clean and the staff helpful and friendly but last night was a disaster. Waited got one dish completely wrong and my lamb Jingha was all chicken. The real problem was the fact that the meat was diced and cubed so must have come out of a freezer bag and was bulked up by undercooked onions and green peppers. Appalling. Hadn't been for 4 years and will probably be another 4 before we go again.

Had friends over Saturday before Christmas to catch-up and we ordered takeaway from West Bars.

Visited late yesterday evening, managed to accommodate seven people late on with ease after we were turned away by Zahid, service prompt and friendly food very good quality, it gets better every time we visit. Thank you West Bars.

Food was fantastic, service was wonderful (we came in rather late and they were more than accommodating)! Best mango chutney in town!

Just eaten the best takeaway we have had for a long time! Ordered in the restaurant, only 20 minute wait, despite lots of orders being phoned in and several diners in the restaurant. Staff were delightful. Food was absolutely delicious; ordered Naga which was as hot as promised but without losing flavour, Lamb Chili Shobuj which balanced hot, sour and sweet beautifully and did have loads of chilies if you wanted a blast! Tarka dhal and other accompaniments were also very tasty - and all at very reasonable prices (and 10% off if you collect). Fully recommend West Bars Tandoori and will return soon :)

Very tasty chicken madras and well made fresh plain naan. Fast friendly service. Comfortable roomy restaurant. Sheek kebab had too much salt and food colour for my taste but I use no salt when I cook so eating out is always tricky for seasoning! Their overall rating is dragged down by bad reviews for slow takeaway service.

popped in for a take away this weekend - chaos at one point but only as a large group turned up on the wrong day!! they were settled by staff despite the place being full. No complaints on the food - mine was a bit hot for me but I ordered 'experimentally' so that is all down to me. We did have a long wait - the only complaint.

Just had a takeaway meal from here I can honestly say it was the nicest Indian food I have ever eaten

Been here with work for a night out.. Really good food and service. Would recommend to anyone. Food was very nice, there's lots of places in chesterfield bur I'm glad we chosen this one. Definitely want to come back!

Great food, always tasty and plenty of it, we're never disappointed when we decide to eat here at WBT.
