Fantastic Indian food, and would be great even if it was in a more competitive environment. I…read morestarted with the lamb samosas, which were perfect. Crispier than typical, more like a spring roll, and I like that. The flavours were complex and the three samosas was a substantial portion. The main course was the star, though. They have a wide selection of South Indian dishes, which I was not familiar with, and I decided to try one of them. I went with the Chicken Chettinadu, which according to the menu is a specialty of Tamilnadu and is infused with 19 spices. Although I was anticipating it, it was so much better than I expected. Possibly the best Indian chicken dish I have ever had. Great flavor, not overly spicy (I am not used to very hot), nice thick curry, perfect for naan to soak up. The other pleasant surprise was the cheese naan, which was like a quesadilla. The cheese flavor really added a lot. I also found the service and surroundings very pleasant. A great meal.

The servers were very friendly and generally attentive (until it came time to pay the bill and we eventually had to go out to the bar). The pappadams were excellent. Paddadams are pappadams but it came with five very generous chutnies and sauces and they all had unique and complex flavors. As someone else mentioned, they do not have an alcohol license but the fresh juices were a pleasant surprise. I had an apple juice which tasted like a fresh apple in the glass. Should have stopped there as things started going downhill. For starter we had a crab wrapped in pastry that was disappointing, not much flavor and a small portion. The cheese kebab (paneer ka tikka) was better but again small portion size. The mains brought the review down another star. Everything was extremely bland. Chicken marsala had very little flavor. A lamb dish, silver kaliya, sounded great and did have a unique flavor (I believe cardamon), but very little lamb and although unique the flavor wasn't great. We also had the spicy tandoori lamb chops but the lamb was over cooked and the spicy sauce (which was so spicy was served on the side) actually was not at all spicy and had virtually no flavor. There are some great Indian options on the island and unfortunately I can't say Gandhi is one of them.

We have eaten at Gandhi's a number of times now and cannot fault it at all, from the moment you…read morearrive you are welcomed by the lovely staff and from then on in you are looked after perfectly. The food is fabulous, good sized portions and cooked to perfection; if there is anything on the menu you are not sure about the staff are on hand to explain and advise.

During our trip to Isle of Man, we tried this place. We were thrilled to know that they can deliver…read moreat our hotel for one extra pound as a delivery charge. Food was brought by the guy in a container so that it remains hot in till delivery. I ordered balti paneer tikka with pilaf and my wife ordered vegetable thali. Both dishes turned out super good. As we were exhausted burgers, fish and chips, Indian food touched our taste buds to the depth. Quantity of the food is good enough. That gives them 4 star. I am taking away one star - for customer satisfaction reasons. As we were staying in a hotel, I specifically asked the person taking my order to put cutlery and some disposable dishes (if possible). He promised cutlery but to my surprise we found nothing. Our hotel staff was not courteous enough to provide us on so we ended up eating with our hands (I hated it). This shows how UNIMPORTANT my request was for this place. May be things would have been different if we would have dined in. Now the next day.... My wife suggested - we are a tourist at this place, we liked the place we should go for a dinner at the same place rather than trying some other Indian restaurant (there are in total 12 in this small island). We called the restaurant and they courteously guided us towards their address (I didn't have internet on my phone). The owner is from Bangladesh and has good customer care skills, he interacts and inquire for very simple things even before you request them - like an extra glass of water or extra napkin. Attention to detail from the entire crew was the key and hence my perception got altered in a positive direction for this restaurant. I ordered chicken biryani - they serve it with an omelette which is a little different than other Indian places I have dined at. Wife ordered non-veg thali which had chicken curry, lamb and sea food. Everything here was very very good and yummy. We would highly recommend. One of their yellow chutney is super awesome !! Must try. Great place and great people !!!!!!

My cousin had been here the night before and said it was great so I thought why not do it and take her advice. Having thought about popping down and enjoying a night out, we decided on ordering through Just Eat and having it delivered - no probs at all and for 4 people it was £55 with plenty of rice and breads. The standouts were the prawn dopiaza and the chef's special south Indian curry - really pretty melt your face spicy but that really did work a treat! Good stuff, would be happy to go again when next over on the IOM.

First of all the first word that comes to mind is delicious. I ordered a strawberry yogurt shake,…read morewhich was very good. Very watery creamy and delightful. If you don't like yogurt, you may not enjoy it though. It is sweet. Personally I ordered the lamb chops and the chips as a side dish. I enjoyed the lamb chops although they were pretty chewy I didn't enjoy that it got stuck in my teeth a lot and so that's why I'm not gonna give this a five star for my personal experience because it was kind of hard to eat it, but that might be a personal struggle, I enjoyed the chips though. My sister got the chicken tikka. She said she enjoyed it and the sauce was very good. My brother, the vegan, had his face filled with a great big smile when he discovered all of the vegan options. There was a terrific amount of sides and main dishes for vegan and vegetarian guests. He enjoyed the mushroom Bharja. My family also ordered the garlic, naan bread and really enjoyed it. My mother got the chicken tikka with coconut rice. The coconut rice was slightly hard, but still tasted really good. The chicken tikka was delicious with the sauce on the side. It also comes with a little bit of salad. It was a really good dish. My father ordered a pot full of special seasoned rice with prawns and it was so yummy. Overall sounds like everybody had a good experience and was very full after the meal maybe too full. But man, the service was amazing and they were so kind to us very patient friendly and kind to tourists like us. I really enjoyed my experience here and at the Isle of Man and I hope that this review helps somebody it's a decent spot so maybe check it out.

Excellent Indian Food in the Isle of Man…read more On our recent trip we stayed in Douglas and came across this place. Skeptical we went in and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent! The food had a mix from different parts of India - which was part of the reason for being skeptical. We ordered the Crab Burji, Chetinaad Chicken, Fried Rice. All of them had perfect flavors in them, did not disappoint at all. Ambiance was nice and quiet inspire of the place being almost full.

My friend and I shared 3starters and three mains so we could get a good view of everything. Among the starters, he aubergine and prawn pickle was great and interesting. Same for the goat cheese starter. While the onion bhaji was different than you typically get it, it wasn't particularly tasty or special. On the mains, an interesting chicken curry made from the chef's local region. It was great, chicken was tender, not spicy but very flavorful. The tandoori pistachio lamb was slightly disappointing, Weile nothing wrong with it the pistachio flavor was pretty much a few kernels thrown on the plate. The highlight, though, was the duck from the chef's special section. Crispy skin and incredible flavor. I'd go back (and will) just for it many times. Service was also quite friendly, earnest and efficient. While there are a few great Indian restaurants on the is;and (probably our strongest cuisine), they should be in the conversation for best.
