We went for their set menu which basically consisted of a starter, choice of standard curry, a side (rice of bread) and ice cream/coffee for dessert - not too bad for £8.95. While the vege samosa was good and the chapati cooked well, I asked for my King Prawn Bhuna to be spicy but I didn't detect a hint of heat in this dish unfortunately...it wasn't like they forgot as they presented it to me as "here's your spicy bhuna" sir. Not bad though - I paid an extra £1 to upgrade to king prawns and also paid an extra £1 to have 2 sides. It's only Byob but there is a bargain booze next door! Not a bad place if you're after a British style curry.

Which is great on the whole, although I could also hear the stomach grumblings of my fellow diners (accusatory groanings making me feel wholly responsible). My partner gave me a prep talk before I came in here - DON'T embarass me in front of my friends, we're already late because of you Suitably chastised, and plastering on a fake smile and a dollop of charm we went in, and made our way to the table. Despite such ominous beginnings, this place helped soothe any piqued ego's with it's calming atmosphere and massaged our palates with it's incredible food. I know it sounds slightly patronising but it really does feel like you're eating authentic Indian food here. The kind that Indians would want to eat. We went for a mixed grill starter to share and the meat was succulent and cooked well. For mains we ordered a selection of vegetarian and meat dishes and were beguiled by the simpleness of each dish, freshly prepared and intoxicatingly delicious. The prices stared at the higher end of the spectrum, but somehow the whole bill still came in at just over £40 for 4 of us, which I believe is very affordable. This place, it would appear, is full of nice surprises. Take your date here if you wish to see them again.

The menu was gigantic but the helpful staff helped with recommendations . I started with the usual popadoms and chutney plate . 6 wonderful selections. Followed with masala fish for starters absolutely yummy. 2 dishes in and I can't find fault. This might just be a 5 star report :). For main course I went for the chicken tikka not too hot. It was just perfect. Can't fault this place. Will be back again .

Formerly known as Ayesha, the restaurant was refurbished and reopened under its new name…read more The focus however for those who frequented the previous restaurant remains on serving quality food and offering good value for money. The restaurant does have more of a family feel to it. The food is good, although I'd be lying if I told you it was out of this world. In all honesty I have had better, but decent it is. The lamb chat kora comes highly recommended by staff at under £9, it's worth a gander. Personally..I'd go for the tandoori chicken uri though as something a little bit different. At the same price the dish consists of seasonal Bangladeshi green beans, barbecued chicken and coriander. If not a great option a decent one instead!!!

We decided to visit this restaurant and we were very pleased with our visit. The ambience was pleasant, the staff were helpful & polite, it is a fully licensed restaurant so there wasn't any problem with our drinks. Once the Manager (owner??) found out how much I liked Indian / Bangladeshi food, and that I liked the curries to be 'genuine' curries, not produced for a European palate, he made sure that the food had the taste of Bangladesh. Each dish was just right - my wife's and our friend's dishes were less spicy, but just as tasty. It is a shame that only infrequent visits to Liverpool will allow us to try this restaurant more often.

THE best curry house in the city, as far as I'm concerned. In a prime location for students (just…read moredown the hill from Liverpool and JMU guilds) and with bloody decent prices, you can't complain! Ok, when you get inside it may look a little dicey, as the decor hasn't been touched up for quite a while and it's mainly filled with booths with the curtains drawn across. But that adds to its charm once you get used to it, and is especially handy if you're on a date. Once you're sat at your table (there are also some banquet tables for larger groups), you're given a fairly standard Indian menu, with the usual 'foreign' beer choices like Cobra etc. Don't do what my friend did, and say that because he was starving he wanted 10 poppadoms with all the trimmings before the mains arrived. We struggled to get through them, and then he insisted that they bring the curries out straight away, as he didn't want them to go cold or be sat on a hot plate. This of course meant that I couldn't finish half of my curry and could barely look at the beautiful peshwari naan. I've never had a dessert in an Indian restaurant, because the food just fills me up so much. I remember another time in the UnI when I was in a fairly bad state due to alcohol consumption and actually had a debate with myself as to whether I should go and make myself sick so I could eat the food that I hadn't touched, due to aforementioned alcohol. I know most people say a curry is a curry, but these are damn good and worth being sick for!! Another time my idiot friends decided to order fahls, which are apparently the hottest curries in the world. Being a strict korma fan, I watched in amazement as they sweated their way through. I mean, what is the point? Surely they couldn't taste anything beyond their tastebuds shrivelling and dying? Anyway, I digress. The UnI is fab fab FAB for curry and is affordable and quite quirky. I wished I remembered to go there more often, instead of always ending up in Shiraz!

Love coming here with my (future) in-laws for dinner! Last night was my second time coming here for…read moredinner, and it was just as delicious as I remembered from last December. Once again we visited on a night when they serve the à la carte menu, so that's the review below. We made a reservation for 8 and were seated in a comfortable booth, and our coats were taken for us so that they wouldn't clutter the space. For the five of us we ordered 3 starters, 3 mains, 2 veggie side dishes, 4 pilau rice, 1 bread basket, and 1 order of peshwari naan. We also ordered a bottle of pinot noir. Before the food arrived, a server brought over some small lentil patties for an amuse bouche, which are good but too dry for me. The salmon and the lamb starters were quite good, and the soft shell crab was 50-50: the soft shell crab itself was very enjoyable, but the crab cake tasted more like a potato patty and did not work well. For the main courses we went with a seafood, a lamb, and a chicken: the crab curry, the Welsh lamb rogan josh, and chettindad chicken. I wasn't a fan of the flavor of the crab, but others loved it, so do order this if you like crab. The chicken was my favorite--what tender meat and perfectly seasoned curry sauce/gravy! The lamb was also very good, just as it was last year. The lentils we ordered for a side were a nice balance for the spiciness of the chicken and the lamb. The cauliflower had very nice flavor but was a bit too firm in the middle still for my liking for such a dish. Their rice is always superb, and I'm now a huge, HUGE fan of their peshwari naan! Wow was it good! I ordered it on a whim at the last minute because the sweeter flavors sounded like a nice mix for the food, especially as I can't have dairy. My rave reviews got the other four to try it, and now we're all super fans of this naan here! I'll see if I can find a good version here in the US to tide me over until next Christmas when we visit again! For dessert we also all shared the mango cardamom brûlée and the donuts. The donuts were good as always, and the brûlée had nice creaminess and mango flavor, but it needed a lot more of the cardamom as we could hardly taste it, and it would have balanced the sweetness and the heaviness of the dish very well. Can't wait to return here again and again, and can't wait to check out their new place in downtown Liverpool next year! And next time I'll take photos (who knew their Yelp page was so empty?)!
