We ordered the chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka rogan, and the food was decent and satisfying. What really stood out was the excellent ambiance and how kind and welcoming the staff were.

I like Lal Qila a lot. Definitely not a pretentious venue for curry, the bold décor (both on the…read moreinside and out) lends itself to a relaxed a fun atmosphere. The service mirrors the décor you may be pleased to hear. The food on offer is tasty, pretty much the standard affair that is available throughout Rusholme. I always go for the prawn madras, but don't let my recommendation limit your horizons. By all means, try the chicken or the lamb. The grill is also something I might recommend. One area that I might be slightly critical of is the allocation of sweets on the bill saucer. The last time I was there, I received one lollypop and two mints. The argument that ensued over who would get what was epic, although played out in the style of a Harold Pinter-esque tip. But don't let that worry you too much, go to Lal Qila and enjoy the food.

The Paneer with garlic chili sauce starter was tangy and slightly spicy and super tasty. I had the grilled Marsala Fish which was sea bass and it was excellent.

Nice atmosphere and amazing food at very good prices.

Very pushy and ruined the experience for us. Will not return

I cannot begin to describe the amazingness that is this restaurant. The host was extremely friendly, one of the things I remember even a year later. The waiting staff were all very responsive and friendly as well. Their explanations of the dishes were very helpful and informative. The food was amazing. The best Indian food I've ever had. They have a diverse selection of dishes as well. Some items were nice and spicy while others were more mild. The deserts were awesome too. I seriously can't say enough about this place, it's one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The next time I'm in the UK I am making it a point to get up to Newcastle again so I can go to Spice Cube.

Solomon's has a nice, warm atmosphere.

To begin with, the service was definitely substandard. We ordered drinks upon our arrival and sat at our table for 20 minutes sans drinks and no wait staff to be seen. Once they finally came to get our order, the drinks were 'remembered' only after we complains, although they were then promptly brought to the table at least. The wait for initial service was just WAY too long. The food came quickly but getting the bill was a real chore - not just for us but for all the tables around us as well. I think this place is suffering from too few front of house staff for sure. The food was also a bit disapointing. We had a fish curry starter that was well flavoured but a bit greasy. Our mains were Almond Butter Chicken and Chicken Pathia. Both were on the sweet side and the Pathia wasn't spicy hot enough by any means. The portions were rather small for the price being charged as well. The peshwari naan was well made although the whole cashews falling out of it were a bit of a surprise. All of this cost £30 which seems high considering that there are some amazing takeaways in town with much better quality that charge far less. I don't think we'll be giving this one a go again...

We had booked a table for 6pm however arrived slightly late due to the bad weather (I believe Hurricane Kate is the culprit!) However, we were sat quickly and when telling our server we had limited time due to our cultural theatre trip it was recommended that we keep away from the signature curries as they take time to cook through. We started with a bottle of prosecco (this is getting predictable now?) and opted to share the bombay bombs and hara chicken parchey to start. The bombay bombs were delicious filled with mashed potatoes and a homemade sauce they were incredibly flavoured! The chicken arrived looked a cool shade of green with a yogurt dip it was also delicious. Next I opted for the burgh tikka makhani masala which was a butter based rich tomato curry with plenty of succulent chicken. With a side of mushroom pilau (one portion is enough for two really!) and a side of tandoori roti I mopped up every last bit of the rich sauce! Competing the meal was the standard cosmo which I ALWAYS get when I go here as it has a nice twist on the original. I must say the lamb railway curry is still my favourite however I am yet to try their signature Korma so watch this space!
