    We were staying at Wynchor Country House and I rang up to check whether they would deliver to our apartment's. They agreed without hesitation and the food arrived in good time. The lamb Madras was absolutely superb, lots of tender lamb pieces. The mixed tandoori starter, onion bargies and Chicken Balti were also very good. Despite poor phone signals the driver made great efforts to keep us updated and I met him outside to receive food and pay the cash. The driver was excellent and polite to deal with. Cannot recommend them enough.

    Well what can I say? If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! First time going to this restaurant. It's also the first time I've been to an Indian restaurant. Omg I am so impressed! Good job we booked in advance. It was very busy in the restaurant. There were also people queueing inside and out for take away. We were seated straight away. Napkins were taken off the table and laid on our laps and drink orders taken. Food was ordered and the starter was out within 10 minutes along with poppadoms and dips, including an orange coloured mint dip which was delicious. Main course was served within a few minutes of our starters being eaten. The waiters took the time to tell us about the food we ordered etc. I ordered a korma and the waiter told me a way his family make it. It was interesting to listen to. We made chit chat with them and asked if they celebrated Eid yesterday. Each member of staff were always busy and very friendly with each other and us. They didn't stop. They were always moving and busy. I don't think I saw one member of staff stand still the entire time we were there. The food was fantastic. The cauliflower bhaji was lovely and fragrant. I cannot fault a single thing tonight. At the end after our meal they gave us hot flannels to clean our hands and face. I have never had a service like it. I don't think I've given such a long review either!

    One of the best Indian restaurants in the country. Excellent food, perfectly prepared and very attentive staff. The menu offers traditional and new dishes. Note: if you want to dine in the restaurant, you WILL need to make a reservation - it is so good, it is always booked (always a good sign at a restaurant !)

    Had a gorgeous takeaway from here this evening!.. Staying close by at Whycnor, travelling back from the NEC, so ordered enroute, and collected as we past, but they did offer delivery... A very busy place, which I can see why, sheek kebab starters, south Indian garlic chicken, chicken tikka passanda, veg pilau, bindal barghi, and cheese & onion naans were all perfect!! We love our local takeaway, and never find anywhere close to quality, but tonight we might have just found a better one!! Trouble is it's 300 mile from home 😅.. will definitely be back next time I'm the area!!

    Amazing starter! Loved it and the main courses were maybe the best Indian we have ever had. Can't wait to go back.

    Great wee place, food was lovely, atmosphere great. Service was brilliant. Staff were very attentive. Really enjoyed our meal.

  • 5/5 Mike W. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely brilliant. Hard to find a better curry. Despite living away from the area we make sure we come here at least annually; it’s that good.

  • 4/5 Diccon du P. 5 months ago on Google
    Always good for a meal or takeaway. Eating in is always chaotic - even with reservations you normally have to wait for a table and it is always busy. Great food every time!

  • 2/5 Craig T. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place. Had a good atmosphere. Felt extremely rushed when ordering food. Asked for popadums but we had to order everything at once! When food was served, I burnt my fingers on a plate that was handed to me. A waiter reached over my plate with a drink & spilt coke in my dinner. Some nan breads were undercooked. Curry’s were “ok”, a bit bland & nothing special my any means. I had lamb shank & it didn’t wow me at all. Even the standard dishes were below par. All our group were very disappointed as we’d heard really good things about this place but felt very underwhelmed when we left. Certainly won’t be hurrying back

    We took take away from this restaurant. Food quality was absolutely fantastic and everything was tasty. Recommended to everyone.

    We visited Little India last night lovely food but we were so rushed before my husband could finish his first course it was whipped away and within seconds our second course was put in front of us then after we finished , Main course bill was presented and we were not asked if we wanted sweet or coffee so we left feeling so rushed what a shame

    Could have been better. Service was slow and staff not very attentive on this occasion surprisingly. Food was OK, but lamb shank didn't fall off the bone which was disappointing. Had better Indian cuisine elsewhere.

    Great food, first time visiting here, wish I’d tried them sooner, definitely be back👍

  • 1/5 Ameliaaa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Spoke to someone on the phone to place an order and he was mimicking me and taking the mick out of my accent. They are rude! Asked to speak to a manager who I don’t believe was one and he said the guy I spoke to was new? New?? And he’s taking the mick out of how someone speaks what an absolute joke. Will never order from there again, just lost a customer and a few more well done

    Massively recommend, beautiful food, good service, extremely clean

  • 3/5 GWG W. 2 years ago on Google
    Overcharged. Ordered a takeaway which we collected. Their menu states 10% discount on take away collections but when presented with the bill it didn't include the reduction (had this been the case we would have opted for the free delivery). I quizz it at the time and was told that it was correct so I paid it. When I got back home I checked the menu and just as suspected we paid full price. It wouldn't have been a great amount maybe £4-£5 but it's the principle of the matter. Don't offer 10% discount of you arn't going to honour it. It encourages people to buy from you but does you no favours when it looks like you are being underhand. Especially when a customer queries it, don't just shrug it off thinking their won't be any backlash - because of this we won't be returning in a hurry. Shame really as the food was very nice. Would have been better to check and amend before taking my payment and no answering the phone mid way through. These little things don't reflect well. Also this place doesn't give you free poppadoms and relish like all other Indians we use.

  • 5/5 Paul M. 4 years ago on Google
    Worthy of 6 stars. Remote setting. Large Customer Car Park over the road ( lit at night). Beautiful interior. Spacious. Staff are attentive. Warm welcome. Tables are we'll set out. Comfortable seating. Large Menu to browse. Poppadoms freshly made. Chicken Tikka Massala is really tasty. Chips are excellent. The Cheese and Garlic Naan bread is the best I've ever had. Non-alcoholic shots with the bill. All in All, a Fantastic Meal. Very Highly Recommended
