Xotica in Salford

Mi amigo escuchó sobre el restaurante en un carrete de instagram y siendo un amante de los kebabs pensamos que valía la pena el viaje. No somos de la zona, pero a menudo conducen a Manchester para comer. Llamé el día para hacer una reserva y alguien que acaba de decir ‘hola’ me dijo que no hacen reservas y cuando le mencioné que tengo una tarjeta de visita, me dijo que ya no las aceptan a pesar de que está anunciada en la aplicación. Viendo críticas mixtas en línea y esto era escéptico de cómo iba a ser. Pero aún así decidimos ir esa noche. Al entrar al restaurante afuera había desorden alrededor de las hojas de entrada y la basura, las puertas de vidrio sucias y parecía que las ventanas no se limpian. Estos son siempre factores que determinan cómo alguien se enorgullece de su negocio y son indicadores bastante buenos. Entrando han intentado presentar el lugar como muy grande. Pero solo se ve hortera y la decoración mixta en el interior son ideas tomadas de otros lugares y arrojadas juntas. La iluminación es muy trágica y las luces de neón casi me hacen sentir como si estuviera colocado. Cables colgando del techo. Solo aceptan efectivo, lo que no es problema. No tienen menú de bebidas aparte de en el iPad, que tenía un montón de huellas dactilares pegajosas en él. Algunas mesas están listas y otras no. El personal era agradable. Pero acaba de tener las vibras de lo que esperar. Me encantan los kebabs y estaba emocionada de probar el donador de cordero cien por ciento: sin embargo, no sé lo que esperaba, ya que es exactamente lo mismo que en todos los demás lugares a los que voy. Mis amigos tienen al chico malo que fue muy dulce. La ensalada no estaba buena y los jalepenos sabían raro. El menú es muy grande, tiene demasiado en él. No me impresionó en absoluto. No volvería y no recomendaría.

La comida era increíble como siempre normalmente pedimos una entrega, y para ser honesto no volveré a comer en fuimos como una familia de seis y al menos otras cuatro mesas aparecieron después de nosotros y nos sirvieron antes de que esperáramos siglos para pedir nuestra comida y cansados de pedir una segunda ronda de bebidas pidiendo 3 camareros y terminamos nuestras comidas sin una bebida para tener con nuestra comida. La comida es excelente, pero nunca se sentará en el restaurante de nuevo debido al impactante servicio.

Oh hombre esto es lo mejor que he comido, y la salsa del chico malo está fuera de este mundo gracias chicos absolutamente increíble, el mejor kebab de la historia

Amazing food, service and people. We will definitely be coming back! The OG sauce the donner is made in is top quality 👌🏾👌🏾

I order here regular and tonight a couple of minor items missing. Called the shop and was sent a full order again, free of charge. Fantastic customer service from Xotica I didnt ask for anything, they insisted I accept a full order. Thanks Guys

this place is great had the ultimate meat box which was amazing the staff where so friendly and helpful food delicious can't say any more apart from i will be back

Had many curries but this time was awful the rice was stodgy and smelled off food went in the bin total waste of money

Stumbled across this place by chance as we saw some cops queuing up for food - normally a good sign and we were not disappointed. Ordered the shredded doner on naan and mix meat shredded kebab with the BadBoy sauce. We will def be back!! Amazing.

The most amazing experience. My first experience and the menu has an amazing selection and choice. The guy on the till order taking was so helpful recommend what would tick my boxes. I have never seen such a busy place. I understand other reviews commenting on delivery times but if you visited the takeaway you'd appreciate it, I was there for 15 minutes and there must have been 25 delivery drivers collecting orders. Now on to the food Wow, out of this world the amount of balanced flavours are amazing by far the best Kebab I have ever had. I ended up chatting to Mo who spent some time telling us about the food and I asked if I could try a small sample of the garlic mayo, he quickly gave us a small test and it was amazing. Great customer service from all a really good experience. I travelled a 30 mile roundtrip but will definatley be returning soon. I wouldn't listen to the doom and gloom reviews just go and try it yourself you will not be dissapointed. Thanks for the experience guys!!

WAS DISAPPOINTED. When you order the food over the phone you can’t hear them as there music was blasting. Then they mixed my order up and said I wanted 2 flaming bad boys I only wanted 1 plain. I got a chicken korma was really watery. Outside parking is terrible. Bus drivers can’t get in the bus lane due to the delivery drivers parking there so if someone was disabled they can’t get off. When you walk in your waiting about 10 minutes to be asked what have you ordered. Very rude place will not be coming here

I ordered at 6pm and delivery was scheduled for 7 15pm to 8 15pm. After two phone calls it finally arrived at 8 50pm. On inspection of my order two important items were missing. It took 40 minutes plus for them to bring the missing items. Can't fault the food as it was delicious but sadly spoilt by the delay and missing part of the order. Will only eat in from now on.

Takeaway, wish we went elsewhere. The last few times placing takeaways orders from Xotica Fusion have been slightly disappointing, seemingly getting sweeter eat time, but we thought we’ll give it another try as everyone seems to rave on it, but tonight was the worst yet, food was chewy, dry and cold. I’m disappointed, we wanted a nice meal tonight as it’s New Year’s Eve, not much else to say apart from we probably won’t use them again.

Ordered what should have been a nice weekly takeaway. I cannot believe this place has genuine good reviews. The radioactive red slop that was delivered, each meal look the same, we chucked straight in the bin. More red food colouring than I've ever seen. Didn't look safe to eat. I've had a lot of takeaways in my life and some terrible ones. This is rank bottom by far the worst food I've ever seen. Avoid at all costs.

Always get good food. Usually ready for collection way before the estimated time. Definitely worth a look.

Ordered as a delivery. Delivered on time. Starters not worth for money- very small portions. Chana masala is very sweet ( odd !), not typical Indian food. May be not suitable for me / as they are not real Indian foods. Could feel all sweeter.

Only half the food I paid for was delivered with the missing items promised for delivery never turned up Bloody bandits

Great food with excellent customer service, very friendly and helpful staff, this is definitely our new go to curry place, the kebabs r really good 2.

Started to order from Xotica during lockdown after a recommendation. It does delivery but we are out the area. It's well worth travelling to collect your food. We have eaten here many times now and the food is delicious. The menu is packed full of many different foods. I can definitely advise you to try the mini monter and the chicken kebab on naan bread. Absolutely delicious. The portions are massive and very reasonable prices. One of our favourite places to order food from. Thank you Xotica. 5 stars

absolutely disgusted how the woman at the end of the phone spoke to me this evening. I only called to double check to see if they had received my order. to be then told Some of my items I had ordered was our of stock...

Even with all the issues going on at the moment we ordered some food to be delivered and after a short while (less than stated time) the food arrived. And I can say the only criticism I have was that I couldn’t finish it all...

This place is absolutely spot on for take away Indian food. The staff are absolutely great and will make you any Indian dish you wish for. The delivery times are extremely quick and the dishes always arrive hot. The only slight negative I would say...

Defo the best take away ever curries and kebabs are unreal best place I’ve ever had food from friendly staff and top service 100 percent recommend to anyone

I ordered a meal through the website and waited over an hour. I contacted the restaurant who told me the food had been delivered, maybe it had but certainly not to my address. The guy then turned very aggressive telling me that I’m a liar...

We have used Xotica for a few years, their food is amazing and there is nothing like it around! However..... their delivery service is shockingly slow! Regularly 15-25 minutes late and this really spoils their great tasting food. No apologies, no sign of this issue...

Great place to get a takeaway from. I opted for a mixed grill and lamb chops which were absolutely delicious. The portions are plentiful the service is great and the shumon (the boss) is very friendly making sure the customers are taken care of. Will...

The food is never disappointing, which is why we always get Indian take away from Xotica! We’ve tried many of the Indian take aways in Walkden, and this one is definitely one of the best. I won’t go anywhere else. Im yet to try one...

Exotica is well priced and the food is always spot on. Best Indian takeaway around here and the only one that can make decent onion bhajis. Light and crispy

Great food great price would definately recomend

If ordering an Indian always get it from Xotica. Free items always in bag and comments always acknowledged. Food is belting and never had a bad meal. Keep it up.

Ordered all the starters and sat around our table with bottle of wine and used the starters as tapas. All different and wonderful tasting dishes. Staff friendly and obliging gave us extras for free.

This place is the best around. I order from here and only here. Can't wait for our next curry. It's always fresh and hot, and if there is ever anything missing they will replace straight away with more than what was needed in addition to...

Food absolutely superb from here but delivery poor for a Tuesday night, we had an hour wait and then delivery took nearly as long. Food arrived warm not hot and they forgot our garlic naan.

Food speaks for its self.....definately use again..

Delivery time on just eat was 90 minutes phoned the shop to complain and they reduced it to 40 minutes apart from that food was good as usual

After all great reviews I thought I'd give it a go I sort of wish I hadn't. The food I received was ok although my chicken chat was missing the chapati the rice and chat was covered in coriander which I can't stand and asked for it to be excluded and my chicken tikka madras was a masala all be it was tasty it wasn't what I ordered. I ordered at 5:30 to be delivered at 7:30 it was delivered at 8. I'll probs give it a miss next time

Great food, been looking for an Indian takeaway for years and missed this, excellent food, ingredients, quick delivery, naan bread gorge, mixed starter best I've had in years, had chicken tikka khorai for main strength 2 chili's would say it was more of a 3. Will definitely be back, best Indian takeaway for miles

nice Takaway always order from there

This place has redeemed itself. When it first opened I had a, quite frankly, rubbish curry from here. I mentioned it and they delivered me another curry at a later date for free, which was also awful, so, when a friend recommended it tonight, I was apprehensive. I have to say though, I pleasantly surprised. Food was absolutely top notch and I'll be ordering from here again :-)

Best curry around! Food was great and friendly service!

Super quick delivery time but quite disappointing curries. Very very watery, like they weren't simmered enough which considering it only took 15mins from ordering to delivery I assume that they weren't. Such a shame due to the large amount of good reviews.

The food was really tasty! I'll definitely come back and try more dishes

Deliscous food was so tasty Only let down was said I wanted it at half 6 for my partners home and they came at 6 So was cold by time she was home

Brilliant food and top service will be ordering again 👍🏻

not as good as it used to be !!!

Arrived earlier which was great, food was lovely - all the meals had a lovely distinct flavour.

Amazing food, lovely service, I will order from nowhere else now! Thank you

Can not fault this place...and i eat a LOT of curries from different places. Food is delicious...id recomend chicken tikka chilli masala if you like it hot.

Food was a little late other than that the food was lovely! Would 100% order again!

Missing yoghurt and mint sauce even though it was on the order, didn't ring as it cost 50p, however it's the principle, not a large order so expect it all to be there. Food that arrived was nice but will be ordering more local next time. Not a great first time experience.

Amazing food, very fresh. Arrived 40mins early!!!

Food was lovely! Only down fall was that we ordered chicken pakoras and they were in our bag but were still charged for. However thank you for the extra onion bahjis - they were delicious!

Fantastic food great price fast delivery

Food was lovely, matched the description and service was fast.

Rezala, best curry ive had! Will be ordering again very soon

Been trying to find a decent take away like this! Biryani was awesome and our order gave us a free big bottle of diet coke!

really nice food, the lamb tikka in my curry was amazing, just not enough of it.

Had this takeaway for the first time yesterday and I don't know why I haven't had it earlier. The food was amazing and well presented. The delivery guy was really nice and friendly. Would defiantly recommend this takeaway to others :)

Slightly to much lemon juice for. My liking but still very nice

Good quality food and quick delivery, as usual.

Consistently good My main go to takeaway Indian

Absolutely love Xotica! We came back off holiday and fancied a curry, so we went to the shop and got some food free of charge off the lovely guy! Wouldn't go anywhere else for a curry. Love it! Keep it up guys x

Wasnt greasy. The presentation was great. An the food tasted excellent. Definalty order from here again.

Ordered from here a few times and loved it every time! Amazing food, quick delivery and overall very pleased! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Always great. I decided to try another place just for variation the other week but regretted it straight away. Top notch

Excellent food and very prompt

Don't mind the delivery time as I know the quality of food is excellent! Still delivered way before estimated time anyway. Never have to mention free offer as always in the bag. Chicken quarter starter was cooked well and very tasty. Same goes for the madras and pilau rice. Onion bhaji's little overcooked, but no biggie... favourite Indian. Cheers 😉

Food was delicious, the only negative- we were given a naan bread different to what we ordered

First time ordering. Lovely curry, great value for money and I asked if we could swap something for chips in our set menu and they happily did so. Will be my new curry place of choice from now on!

Very quick and reliably good food

Was very good food but gave me the wrong drink i ordered a 1lr coke and got a 330ml

Food was good just don't offer free items and not send cos I would of ordered some ...

Food was as excellent as always but the portion size was massively smaller than usual it's been a few months since I have order and I don't get why there was 4 pieces of lamb in a curry and about 5 potatoes in Bombay potatoe was a bit of smaller portions than usual and wasn't really with the money and hour spend waiting for it

As ever, the food was promptly delivered and very tasty.

Food was amazing, good size portions and nice staff. Will definitely be ordering again

The food tastes great overall the low stars are in reference to my 'King Prawns' of which there were small pieces of prawn which were chopped up and disappeared in the sauce (which was delicious) guys if you are selling a prawn curry then give your customers more than a few scraps of meat. Little bit tight seen as the curry cost £7.50 because it was KING prawn.

Food was excellent as always, unfortunately we didn't receive any free items even tho it was over £20. But am never disappointed when we order from here.

Forgot the free poppadoms and was very little in the mixed grill compared with other takeouts.

Very watery and 4 pieces of chicken in it

The wrong drink was brought from what I select

Good food but could of been warmer, put everything in tin foil trays instead of plastic tubs and you've solved the issue. Apart from that tasted fresh enough.

Very tasty food as usual, we always order the chefs specials which are delicious! delivery was much quicker than normal too.

Lovely food! Would definitely order from here again :)

Having recently moved to the area we wanted to find an Indian takeaway and as most people we looked at the highest rated. We wasn't disappointed. Everything was as ordered and certainly one of the best Indian takeaways I've had. I'm glad we won't have to shop around again for another.

Really nice aromatic flavours and smells! Will be ordering again! 🙂

Quality is good as always , I ordered the meal for 4 and the side order's and starters were not adequate to feed us all , stingy portions that would probably be ok for 2 or 3 , definitely not 4 though .

I loveee xotica, best curry imo xx

Could have done with a couple extra pieces of meat - otherwise superb

Food was delivered early. Excellent food as always!

Just had a great meal from here, freshly made, will be back soon. Thanks for the complimentary beers too ☺

Honestly the best curry in the area. Absolutely love it. Thank you!

Excellent food shame it took two hours!

Great food. Great delivery time. Forgot my drink so went to the shop to get me one, really polite delivery man. Will use again

Not bad meal. Nice curries. Sheekh kebab was too small as well as most of the portion sizes.

Curry was obviously frozen in tubs as it came very watery. Puddle of water on plate when dished out. Won't be ordering again

The sauce was like water and had about a chicken nuggets worth of meat in it. Well not worth the money!

Everything was good except the delivery time I waited too long for my meal other than that great 👍🏼

Excellent service, generous quantity and good quality food.
