Walked in without a reservation. Served drinks while waiting in their lobby area. Waited about 20 minutes before we were seated. Ordered the usual, papadam appetizer. There was 5 of us. Papadams came out. The dipping sauces were sorry! Pickles for dipping sauces? I hardly know any Indians who can even stomach pickles, why serve them for a general consumption, when most your patrons are multinational? Other dipping sauces including chutney, it was OK, and a yogurt blend, that was nice but only 3 sauces to chose from and no one wanted to eat the pickle. Ordered coconut rice from off the menu, it was nice of them to accommodate me, but it had very little coconut flavor, mainly butter and a slight hint of coconut but far from the actual coconut rice I was expecting. I had a medium spicy lamb dish, but it was very much on the spicy side, had acid reflux the rest of the night, couldn't tell if it was from my dish or the pickle that I ate with the papadam. My friends ordered the chicken korma which I tried, it was delicious and I should have ordered that as well. Also tasted their chicken tikka, it was nice and a friend ordered a kind prawn dish and it looked lush. All my friends ordered the pilau rice but it was uneventful, it was just pilau with a hint of tikka flavor, tasted too much similar to the tikka chicken kebabs I get from the kebab houses all around England. Service was good but also weird, I know my Indian food, so the waiters were impressed with my knowledge but I could sweat at one point when one was showing me a suggested item on the menu, his hand brushed up against my breast which totally freaked me out, cheap grab, love getting man handled while dining. Had better Indian in my life time, won't lose sleep if I don't ever make it back to this establishment. To feed 5 cost £90.00. read more

Shocking service!! But worth it if you want a laugh!! After being asked to sit behind a Christmas Tree whilst waiting for our table we thought things were not going to get any worse, oh in hindsight how naive we were! Once seated we were bought poppadoms and pickles, more on these later, then waited an age for service. Nothing happening! Eventually gave up and walked over to the manager to complain. Somebody soon arrived to take a drinks order, but wouldn't take a food order, more waiting another request for service. The manager then came over and took our starter order, but walked off before we could tell him what we wanted for mains! After another complaint, now more complaints than I have ever made ever! Somebody took our main order. The starter arrived without incident and was very nice. Eventually the main course arrived, again very nice food. At this point things were looking up, we thought, but decades seemed to past with others being served before anyone came to clear our plates. This after we had already complained a number of times. We asked for some of the main course in a doggy bag. Which they offered to do without hesitation. We also asked for a desert menu. This never arrived. At this point I gave up waiting and did something I have never done before.... I rang the restaurant to ask for a dessert menu!! Clearly this wasn't as uncommon for them as it was for me. As like a shot he asked if I was on the left or the right of the restaurant!! :-) The manager said (not apologized) that their service to us had been like Faulty Towers. I will not bore you with the complications over dessert as I have dragged on too long already. Lets cut to the chase and how we were dealt with after such awful service. The manager said we would be given free drinks and he would sort things on the bill. Once the bill arrived nothing had been removed. Then he offered to give 10% and a round of drinks. We explained that we no longer wanted any drinks but we would take 10% and a tenner for the drinks we could have had. Apparently they never give more than 10%. At this point, we questioned why there was an additional charge on the starter. Apparently the complimentary poppadoms and pickles are not so complementary. After much discussion, he begrudgingly offered 12%. We gave up. He rounded the bill down from £54 to £50. We left, without a decent discount, and without the doggy bag requested. Half way down the road the manager stopped us to hand over the doggy bag and to tell us that if we came back and got the same level of service he would give us 50%. Somehow I don't think so!! read more

Great Indian! Nice welcome, great food with real good quality meats & crafted sauces + great 'theatre menue' just the right amount and good value + great background ' modern eastern chill' vibes, highly recommended :) read more

I've eaten at a few restaurant in peterborough and i have to say this one is my least favorite. The portions were small quite expensive too i had to wait 30 minutes for my starter which didnt exactly live to its expectations. The waiters were not very vigilant and i practically had to walk up to them to be served. Overall disapointment. Try Royal Spice on Park Road, Never dissapoints me read more

This is without a doubt the best indian restaurant in Peterborough. Atmosphere is superb and the decor is as you would hope. Staff fall over themselves to be courteous. The food is excellent - both a la carte or sunday buffet - the latter is fantastic value for money which is unrivaled in Peterborough. Parking is ok if yo uare lucky enough to get a spot on the road - but you need to PAY & Display. That said a multistory car park is within 250 meters. Well worth a visit, or two, or three! read more

Heard quite a bit about this place, so thought I would give it a try - but uh oh I made a mistake and had a takeaway! I ordered a chicken biryani, nice and simple dish. Got it home and was quite disappointed. Chicken was cut up small and not a lot of it, vegetable curry was not enough, takeaway carton was well under half full - good job I wasn't starving. For £9.95 I would expect much better. Just goes to show, if it aint broke don't fix it - oh yeah - back to the Taj Mahal. read more

I eat here once or twice a week. It is true that the price is high but this is a first class restaurant, the equal of top restaurants in London. The service is ALWAYS prompt, polite, and efficient. The food is equally good. I cannot understand how it managed to get some bad reviews at YELP. read more

This has got to be one of my favourite indian restaurants. The food is fantastic, the meat is always succulent and everything I have ever eaten there is mouth watering. The staff are well trained, friendly and will go out of their way to help you. Prices are not cheap but not extortionate either especially considering the quality of the food. There is a bar where you can wait for your table if you need to. The only things I am not so keen on are the decor which I personally find a bit tasteless but is not too bad and the gentleman with the gold turban who seems to be employed solely to open the door for customers which is a bit too gimmicky for such a good restaurant. read more

General service was slow and unattentative,we had to try and make eye contact to get attention.one of our main courses,a vegetable curry was listed as "hot",it wasnt hot .the vegatables tasted stale.the naan bread was thick and stodgy.the portions were small and stingy,we went asked how our food was until we were nearly finished.we even had to wait quite a while for our bill.We wont be returning. read more

One of the Worst Restaurant I have faced in my Life. Never ever try, especially if you are organizing a function or party, make sure your terms and conditions are written and counter signed by both parties; I was put in the worst position and charged a lot than I was supposed to Pay. I will never visit them again as food is poor quality, service is bad; I will urge everyone to walk and find another restaurant in the same area for your piece of mind. There are many other good restaurants in Peterborough Thanks, read more
