A big plus is this restaurant also serves beer. I will say that based off of my experience it was the best Indian food I have ever had.

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!

I've often felt sorry for The Kitchen,you see it's right across the road from my favourite Indian…read moretake-away,and thus has remained untried for quite a few years. But last saturday all that changed. We decided to give it a go for our after drinkies nosh,and very pleased with what I got I was too. In my younger (less experimental) days I always opted for a korma,and when I try a new place I always go back to it,let's face it,if the can't get a korma right then they don't deserve my custom. And i'm pleased to say that they got it spot on! Also the garlic naan was spot on too. Mrs Z got a keema peas with added paneer,which hit the spot too. Yep, i'll certainly be going back to The Kitchen and next time i'll be trying their lamb nehari,a dish which is seriously lacking on the menu in most Take-Aways...

Travelling through. Went on Yelp recommendation…read more What a fantastic restaurant! The reviewer who said this feels like a city centre restaurant was absolutely right. Service was friendly and efficient, offering good recommendations. They were attentive, asking if we would like a break between courses. Our orders turned up promptly. The restaurant space is large and has managed to keep an intimate feel with the clever use of glass screens. We were able to enjoy a meal for two undisturbed by a family celebrating an 18th 20 ft away. The menu has everything you would expect of an Indian restaurant, and many new dishes we had not tried before. We took advantage of the Friday night meal deal, that covers 80% of the menu and was excellent value. This place is a gem, and we will definitely be going back.

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.

As soon as I heard that this restaurant has changed to The Shalimar I had to try it out…read more Situated at Spotland Bridge (used to be Raj's / India Lounge). The Shalimar is a lovely contemporary style restaurant. The menu choice is excellent and includes some different and unusual style dishes. The quality of food was superb and the service outstanding. I went here with my Wife and some friends and we all enjoyed it very much. We will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this restaurant

The owner is such a friendly guy, he is not averse to throwing in some freebies if you are a regular there. The menu is varied as you would expect in a takeaway, i personally like his seekh kebabs, they are irresistable and cost just a couple of quid also. All the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable about the different currys and strengths and they offer a free delivery service within 3 miles. They currently have offers on including buy 1 get 1 free on curries and pizzas, be aware that this is weekdays only though. Living in close proximity as i do then this place is ideal if i fancy a no cooking day/night. For 6 pound i can have 2 9inch pizzas and that is good value. Definitely a place to try if your nearby.

One of the better Indian Restaurants in Rochdale, and that is saying a lot in a town which seems to…read morehave more than its fair share of them. The restaurant is quite large and therefore rarely full. There is a small car park round the back, but you can usually manage to park on the local side roads without any difficulty. The menu is more extensive than usual, with some interesting spicy options on the menu. The staff are friendly, and the owner, dressed in a suit and chewing on something, often struts slowly around the restaurant asking you if everything is OK: which it almost invariably is. Well worth a visit.

Our food was also exceptional, we are visiting from the US , we have never been served Indian food as good as this anywhere there. I had lamb rojan josh my husband had butter chicken.

I like nice Indian meal,who doesn't? you don't? how dare you?!? get out now and read a spam review…read morefor a car wash... Where was I? Ah,yes Indian meals and my liking there of. The trouble is there are far too many of the traditional type restaurants. You know the ones,their menu is exactly the same as every other Indian restaurant within a 20 mile radius. Sadly Pavilion falls into this trap. A shame really as the place is nice,the seating lay out is fine (there were a lot of us) and the general ambience ia a-ok. But,and it's a big BUT,don't have a carbon copy menu of every other Indian food place!! Don't get me wrong there was nothing wrong with the food what so ever,I really enjoyed my meal,as did everyone else in our party and a really good evening was had,but please,PLEASE change up the menu every now and again.Go on,you know you want to... Just noticed that they are a Bangladeshi restaurant and not an Indian one..my bad!!

Great food and amazing atmosphere! I visited this place in Manchester twice...once for breakfast…read moreand the other time at lunch. Both times were great, but their breakfast menu is different vs lunch and dinner. All the staff are very friendly and responsive, and they offer a variety of items on their menu. The Manchester exclusive (Nalli Nihari Biryani) special was amazing...highly recommend it.

I came from a big city America and thought I knew Indian food. This one blew my mind. The Nalli Nihari Biryani is the best version of biryani I ever eaten.

Not too dissimilar to the aforementioned this place has a function room or events and is of the buffet restaurant variety. The food is of decent quality, much better than those student chinese buffet style scenarios (I know that's not saying much but still..) My personal fav were the chicken pakoras... not too oily and the meat was very tender and delicious. Not much else to say apart from the fact that there's ample parking space behind joint. Definitely place to go if you're starving and don't want to fork out more than £20 for a hearty filling meal.
