The best restaurants serving Indian food in Cheshire East North West

lovely food but shocking that it’s nearly £10 for poppadoms and chutneys! daylight robbery

We have been customers of kingshishr for many years and never had and issue until last night that has put a bad taste in our mouths. For a family birthday meal we put an order in and were told it would be delivered within the hour which was perfectly fine. 90 minutes later we still had no delivery, so I called to see where the delivery was and how long it would be. I was told it had just left the restaurant along side a few other deliveries. The person on the phone was short with me and quite snappy in their replies.. The take away then came roughly 15 minutes later so 105 minutes after they had previously stipulated. I understand take aways get busy and can’t always be accurate on timings however, half of our side orders were missing, and what was received was cold - practically freezing no heat was left on the food. So I called to speak to the manager but was told the manager was too busy to take a call and what makes this 100% worse the person who took the call from kingfishr actually hung up the phone whilst I was mid conversation. When I called back the person said “I thought you’d finished”. I asked for the persons name to be told “I don’t give people my name I just work at a restaurant” and again when asked to speak to the manager I was told again he was too busy so I asked for a call back which never happened. Absolutely outrageous customer service. And have been left with a bad taste. Will not return.

Food was lovely as always. But we paid over £50.00 which was expensive for what we had . The amount we paid they could have given us some free popadoms and chutney .( always get free prawn crackers from the Chinese)

Food was good but service was terrible 50 minutes wait for mains and multiple people being served who came in before us. More interested in fulfilling takeaway orders than waiting on the restaurant floor. First and last time we will visit unfortunately, also found the older guy who took the bill particularly rude! He must not have been blessed with good customer service!

Best curry out there! I lived in Alsager for years and have been going to Indian Heaven for a long time. We recently moved about 15/20 minutes away and we still travel to pick up a takeaway or eat in as it is that good! ❤️ Keep being amazing and tasty!

Early delivery reflected in the poor quality 😮

This is my first takeaway since I've developed a milk allergy so I was quite scared. I've ordered many times before and always been great food so I gave it a try. Put in the notes online about my allergy and got a call discussing my order and the changes they needed to make (so like not adding cream) and reassured about cross contact precautions. I've eaten my food and it's all been great as always and I've not reacted. I now feel confident that I can continue to eat safely here despite my new restrictions.

★★★★★ Exceptional Dine-In Experience at Appayon, Poynton Appayon Indian Restaurant is a standout culinary gem in Poynton. The dine-in experience dazzles with its warm, inviting ambiance—think elegant decor, soft lighting, and a welcoming vibe. The menu is a triumph of authentic Indian flavors. Highlights include the lamb rogan josh (rich and aromatic) and the butter chicken (creamy, perfectly spiced). The garlic naan is freshly baked, and vegetarian options like paneer tikka shine. Service is impeccable—attentive, friendly, and passionate. Every detail, from spice balance to presentation, reflects quality. A flawless 5-star experience—worth every penny!

Uninspiring yet ok food. Prawn puri starter was the highlight - packed with flavour and prawns and the puri was light and fresh. Chicken was on the dry side in the Pathia which also lacked richness. Avoid the house red. It's the only one available by the glass and is approaching undrinkable. Ideal for a post pub curry, but it is not the 'amazing' food that some of the reviews suggest. I cannot comment on the chef specials and is only one visit, so I may be underselling this place..or not!

No need to go anywhere else, perfect.

Easily the best curry around, food is soft and juicy all around brilliant. Service is great cause when the guy brings you his food, he announces it to you, idk how to describe it, but I call him the announcer, you'll know what I mean if you come in. Would recommend the chicken saag and onion bhaji.

Not the usual takeaway service, standard of food or delivery. I think it may be under new ownership.

Excellent food! Excellent service! Ordered from here a few times now and has been great!

Take away had plastic or something in it.. extremely off putting. Last take away I ever have from them! AVOID

First time at the restaurant and will definitely be returning Highly recommended
