The best restaurants serving Indian food in North West

We as a family of 2 adults and 2 kids visited this place last Saturday at 9 pm. We pre-booked and we were told a table would be available on arrival. As we arrived on time, the place was jam-packed with no place to stand as well. We waited for like 15 min and got a table with only 3 chairs, even though we booked for 4. I cannot stand for long and so I took a chair, both my sons in each and my husband unfortunately stood there for 10 min and then my younger one for 5 more minutes until a fellow customer ( out of pity or good nature or maybe they were finished) kindly offered us a chair on which my younger one sat. The irony was, even after me inquiring about the chair many times, I was assured that a chair was coming right up, it didn't happen at all. The place is very small and cramped when full with customers. Now the food: Great taste, good quality and quantity. We had vegetarian starters ( Samosa, paneer chilly, paneer pakoda) and some street food ( chole bhature and Madurai masala dosa) with an apple juice and ginger ale. The price was a bit on the higher end is my opinion. It costed us somewhere around £40+ which I believe is expensive. Anyway, they were responsive enough to come and inquire if everything was fine or we needed something else. They did not charge our drinks, as a compensation for keeping us waiting for the table and a chair. They even told us that since it was a Saturday, people tend to spend more time than usual and so the waiting time was more than anticipated. Rather if it was a Sunday, it would have been better, which they could have informed us when we were booking but unfortunately they skipped this part! PS: Thali is available only from SUNDAY to THURSDAY. OVERALL EXPERIENCE - Good taste, no customisation, just like how Indian food must taste, authentic flavour and aroma, but I felt it was a bit expensive. Please try to avoid going on a Saturday evening.

Fab restaurant! Staff were great and food was incredible. Never had a bad meal from here, we normally order online. Would recommend :)

Comimos aquí cuando nos alojamos localmente, es bonito, el servicio es muy bueno. El menú era bueno. La comida era sabrosa y de alta calidad. Y el precio era razonable en general una buena noche.

Food was good. Service was really good as well. Very friendly staff. At the end, they even gave me some free plain nan bread to take home

The food was like little works of art.

Great night out... had the street food set menu and it was delicious. Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive service was also a bonus with this great meal. Highly recommended

Liverpool’s best kept secret. Amazing food. Amazing service. The chicken korma and butter chicken were cooked to perfection; succulent entrees exploding with flavor! Don’t forget to get the garlic naan and the mango chutney - you won’t regret it!

Very nice meal really enjoyed it

Amazing food and friendly service

Delicious salmon shashlik, decent sides. Really enjoyed our meal. Staff are hit and miss. The younger ones are really friendly, some of the older ones we find miserable 🤣🫣

Lovely waiters and staff! Food was amazing will definately be back :)

Excellent food and service! Food was delicious. Service is prompt and always with a smile! Early bird menu is great value for money.

Still excellent, after all these years. Perhaps a little dated now, but have never had a bad meal in the best part of 40 years visiting.

Always super friendly atmosphere and superb food.
