We were AMAZED by this place!…read more It was probably made even better by the most recent one we had being poor too, and also, thumbs up for 5* hygiene rating (yes, I'm one of those people who checks). Eleven of us ordered food, including enormous tubs of rice, giant and entirely amazing onion bhajis (definitely get some of these- big scotch egg sized tasty globes). Everyone had something different, and there was a bit of sharing too, everyone was happy. The hotter ones have a reasonable kick, and a surprisingly good one was the shampan- picked out of morbid curiosity, with mozzarella cheese on top, and not swimming with fat. We were all very full, and the Naans still tasted nice the next morning!

This is a gorgeous Indian Restaurant that seems to have been going through the doldrums recently…read more The food is beautiful. The decor is exceptional and the service is very very good. I am surprised the Restaurant has had no previous reviews. The main reason I have placed this review today, is that as from June 2011 the place is now called: SHALIMAR, with the same address and details. The place has been re-bornagainnow called PAVILION II There is adequate parking, a nice waiting area prior to taking your table and value for money (when it was The India Lounge) was very good. When I have tried the restaurant with its new owners, I will amend this review under the appropriate Shalimar heading.

The food was good, but the restaurant was incredibly dark inside. The dishes were presented on…read moremetal trays, which I found unappealing. It felt like a cafeteria tray in a mental institution. The restaurant was so dark that I had to use my phone's flashlight to read the menu. Some of the dishes I had ordered were listed under different names on the menu. This could be because the restaurant is from a region of India where the dish is called something else. For example, Dahl makhani was not listed on the menu, but the lentil dish was, and it tasted the same to me. The menu itself was difficult to read due to the low lighting and the confusing layout. It was like a maze, with columns and rows that didn't make sense. I had to carefully navigate through the menu to find what I was looking for. It was a frustrating experience, and I wish the restaurant had a better-designed menu.

Shahbaaz Curry Cottage has been a favourite of mine for a good few years now - being a minute away…read morefrom my parents house, it also doubles up as our local Indian takeaway. The restaurant is, as the name suggests, in a small cottage that has quite recently been extended to cater for the demand for a good curry house in the area. There must be no more than 15 tables in the entire place, which makes it nice and cosy - which I like. I have been here countless times, and each time I cannot fault the service. The waiters are friendly, and the same guys have worked there for years, so if you're local and go there frequently they remember your name - which is always nice. The food is authentic Indian food, with a varied choice of curries on the menu. One of their starters - Prawn on Puree - is my favourite and I often order this as larger portion for my main meal, which they are always more than happy to do for me. The prices are very reasonable here, and if you like them on Facebook they'll often post print-off vouchers on their page for customer discounts and freebies. They also run deals on certain nights, where you can get 3 courses and a beer for £15. Last week when I visited, the service was abnormally slow.. And something I haven't experienced before. Granted it was a busy Friday night but maybe they were a waiter down or something. The service is usually faultless - this must have been an off night but I wouldn't like to mark them down for it. I'll continue to go here, either with family or with friends - and if you're in the area it's definitely the best place for Indian food for a good few miles.

They take reservations and your table will be ready. The food is outstanding. I'm taking my daughter to England this weekend (we are from Florida) and this is literally on our agenda the weekend we get in. The food is so flavorful and delicious. It's best to go with a lot of people so you can try a bit of everything! We loved everything we tried but the chicken tikka masala with the sweet naan with the honey is the best! We can't wait to have dinner there!!!

I've walked past this Indian restaurant many times but had never been in until my FIL's bday a few…read moreweeks ago. From the outside it looks like any other Indian place and once you get inside it's again pretty standard. The difference is the menu and the quality of the food. I had a really excellent fish pakora to start and then one of the chef's specials as a main. The naan bread (the make or break element of a curry for me) was perfect so I was very happy. It was really busy and people were being turned away on a Thursday evening which is always a sign of good food. As a result I'd recommend booking a table in advance. You can get the metrolink to Altrincham then a taxi down to Hale or the train goes all the way there. This place really stands out from some of the samey average/poor curry houses in south Manchester.
