The bar is situated in this side with the buildings interiors in all its glory. The main seating is through the bar and build in a more modern setting. Very well set out. High end tables and posh. Food is in a league of its own. The duck for starter and the mix platter is what we started with. Lush and full of flavour. Obviously this is with the poppadoms and dips. For mains I asked for something with a madras level heat and what he would recommend. I had something that wasn't on the menu but was a local curry to one of the chefs origins. This was amazing an explosion of flavour with the right amount of heat. The other half's meal was equally as tasty. Sides were just as good. Far too much for us to finish. We were stuffed after this with no room left for desert. :-( Great meal with drinks to accompany in the perfect setting for a couple to have a quiet romantic evening. Well recommended.

There is an incredible range of different indian styles of cooking and The Cottage appears to cover them all, from mild and unbelievably aromatic to "burn your wig off" strong. The drinks selection is very limited, but not bad for a restaurant, but..... This is where we went wrong. The last time I had a meal here, we took some of our children for a birthday meal and paid out over £120 for just a few of us. This is OK in central London or any equivalent city, but not in a quiet part of Warrington! To summarise, I would recommend this to anybody who really enjoys indian food and especially curries, but be prepared to pay for the experience. Just an "extra"; There is a plaque on the outer wall stating that Oliver Cromwell "stayed near here" when planning a lot of his campaigns during the civil war. The truth is vague, he definitely stayed in the "Spotted Leopard Inn", but nobody knows where exactly that was in this street. The Cottage, in the 1900's was the directors dining room for management from Rylands Wireworks which used to be next door, where now stands a huge Sainsbury's and its carpark!

Staff are friendly without being clingy. They tend to be quick taking orders and brining food out, but a little slow in bringing the bill (only an issue if you're on a schedule).

I find the smaller things such has hot plates being placed on the table moments before the food is brought are key things which make you stand out from the rest. Each dish was hot and portions were adequate to fill the average person. Alcohol was a bit pricy for the location but is expected. The reason it is not 5 stars was because the waiter or waiters in this case came three times in consecutive occasions to ask if we are ready to order. The first waiter got told cane we have 5 minutes and a minute later a different waiter asked if we was ready, again. As I mentioned before, the food is brilliant. Would recommend for an nice meal or even a group outing.

Basically…read moreyou can order any starter, main (King prawn £4 extra) and side or rice/naan and a side dish. Having booked online we walked in to find a nice comfy table reserved for us. Black leather upholstery and white table cloths stood at ready. Once seated a pile of poppadum's were placed at the centre of the table with roughly chopped up onions, garlic paste, mango chutney and mint yogurt. For starters I had the dal soup which had a nice consistency, and just the right portion. The rest of the group also seemed to enjoy their onion bahji and shish kebab. Starters and Cobra beers whisked aside the mains swiftly came. I always try to order something new so i risked a King Prawn Chom Chom with garlic rice (£1 extra). The prawns were cooked well and the portions were very generous. However mine was very sweet, with no heat. Asking around the table, six people said the same, all their curries were sugary and the garlic rice had big chunks of raw garlic . There were two curries the keema spinach curry that was flavoursome, and a madras which tasted just of chilli sauce. To end the meal we were given fresh segments of orange and a shot of baileys. Overall the service okay, and the price of what we paid was good. However it was not until the end we discovered we should have been given Bombay potatos each.. not that I could have managed them. But the food was inconsistent and the spices/flavours tasted artificial? If you are passing by and want cheap grub then try it,,,

On first impressions I would say it had a smartly presented interior with the furniture looking well looked after. They have a block pricing structure so worrying about the cost is abit pointless though I would say the bill was a little more than i felt it deserved. The service was prompt and polite and I wasn't kept waiting at all even though the 2 staff were busy watching the wall mounted TV, mind you, so was I (left just in time to miss East Enders). The food was hot and as expected, the salad looked freshly chopped and the tomatoes were still wet from the knife. The waiters could have been a little more friendly and some spoons would have been nice for the curry dishes. In conclusion it is an average curry house and that's not a bad thing these days. I'd be happy to go back but might try another Qype recommendation next time i'm in the area.

They score top top marks in my books as last time I ordered I asked for them to make sure they don't use any nuts or nut oils in any of the food we were ordering and although a common ingredient in most Indian food they where more than happy to oblige. So not only did I get to enjoy some tasty Indian food, my (nut allergy) boyfriend got some too! And he loves curry but hadn't had any in ages as everywhere he went he seemed to get bad reactions. Ok so that might not apply to you but it shows how accommodating the staff are which goes along way in the eating out experience for me.
