   Absolutely fabulous food, really friendly staff with excellent service. The Lamb Zeera was particularly nice.

   Ordered takeaway from here, food was delivered (suspiciously) very fast on a Friday evening. The Good: chips and naan. The Bad: The curry. Watery, oily, bland curry. Ordered a Prawn Karahi and a Chicken Balti. These curries were 99% identical in flavour, watery and oily. No spice or any hint of Indian flavour. Essentially the curries are all from the same pot and then dished with the odd extra flavour added before being sent out. Indian curry sauce should be bursting with flavour and thickness. If you like your 5am oily drunk take out go for it. They clearly just want to churn out cheap food by essentially batch cooking and watering down the food, as I used to be able to pick up an Indian takeaway in Manchester and the sauce would be individual to the curry and thick. Now they all look the same like a watery off yellow (almost more like a Chinese) bland dish. Don't bother reading the menu, I'll explain the process. You want a Balti? Sure here's your bland watery dish slopped out of the vat in the kitchen with curry powder added, tadaaaa "Balti"! *chef kiss* Fancy a Bhuna?! Sure, off we go to the same vat in the kitchen and scoop some of that Balti, oops I mean "Bhuna" slop (wink wink), nailed it again. Better option, get the meal for two takeaway boxes from Tesco (other supermarkets are available) they actually have the consistency of sauce you would expect, the curries will taste different from each other, for the fraction of the price. I even think if this takeout did the same thing and watered down a version of a Tesco Balti to serve 100 people it would still have more flavour and consistency then the slop they served up.

   Very bad smell, and the worker are very unprofessional and the food was not good. I’m very disappointed in a waste my money better than I same amount I will spend in the Istanbul restaurant which is I prefer five star but Bengal Balty I hate I never recommend don’t waste Money and the visit this branch very high rate atmosphere not good service zero food zero must be closed. This job is better for the students not for the dining as a couple or a family honest review.

   I looked at the reviews before I booked this. Went for the early £16.95 for 5 courses. Starters I had the mixed starter and the wife had onion bhaji. This was excellent, fresh and very tasty. For main I choose lamb tikka biryani and the wife had chicken tikka masala with garlic rice and garlic nan. Omg, the food was first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restraurant. Food wise the best indian restaurant I have ever been. You really need to come here and try this. well and truly worth every penny.

   Chicken was not cooked properly, poppadom was not crispy. Bad experience. They need to improve.

   Its awesome when it comes to taste.. For spicy lover you must explicitly tell them to make it "Super Spicy" ... I personally liked Garlic Chilly Chicken.. Best part is the naan , it has special flavour and which is my personal favourite...! Can be given a shot if you are going to try something new......!

   Food was very good. I found it to be very little value for money. Portions very small and they charge huge amounts for small portions. Its like they trying to save costs while increasing profits by saving on ingredients. I would never go there again.

   The lamb Madras was poor just tasted like tomatoo purée not spicy or flavoursome. The Bombay balti was lovely and the naan was very good. The biggest problem was that they forgot to put the rice in the bag when I collected and I didn't discover this until I got home. They were apologetic and polite when I called and offered to give me something free next time but nevertheless it still kinda ruined out meal.

   Ordered a chicken tikka masala with rice & chips. Lamb chop starter - cost £17 with delivery and it was awful. Chips look like last nights left overs reheated. Lamb chops were dry and chicken is that cheap processed stuff. We have just binned it all as none of us could eat it and now I’m having to make us all tea. Really disappointed.
