Indian cuisine bolton in Bolton

“Short version? Fantastic south Indian food, brilliant service and warm surroundings. Totally different to the one that was there before. Long version. Some of the best south Indian food me and the wife have ever had. This restaurant used to be something totally different called monal, we are local just being down the road. Tried it when it was monal, really dissappinting. Bad food and service, horrible atmosphere and very expensive. This is now under totally new ownership we were glad to find when we went in. We took in the menu and ordered a bit of everything that took our fancy. The curries we had were EXCELLENT. The naan, the onion bajis, the rice... All of it was high quality, cooked with care and fresh! So glad to have this place on our doorstep. The best bit? The Dosa! Incredible food. The whole place has a family feel and everyone was very welcoming. Thanks for a lovely meal, see you again soon.”

“Ordered a set meal for 3 last night came bang on time delicious hot food very impressed and will defo return.”

“Brilliant Indian food - succulent tandoor meats, balanced and punchy curries, breads were on point, generous portions, and booze is amazing value. Coming from someone who lives on Brick Lane, Bury is lucky to have this place!”

“Ordered 2x from here now had a normal kebab and 2x special kebab and a lamb tikka starter. This was the first takeaway I ordered from in Bolton and I’ll be honest I was absolutely blown away, first we started on the special kebab and oh my was it mind blowingly good morning only wish we started on the normal kebab because as incredible as it was it was blown out of the water by the special but equally satisfying. Missed out on the chips on the first order but the second ordered a regular chips and was presented with a buffet of chips larger than TCBS although on my own and couldn’t make a dent was pleasantly surprised and better than most of the takeaways you’ll find around. 1000% will order again and can’t wait to try other options in the future! Keep up the good cooking lads! Late delivery on first order but completely worth it and 30 minutes early on the second so can’t complain was hot and all the flavour!”

“A group of 18 (women) of us visited this restaurant yesterday as an end of year meal and I can honestly say this place was extremely accommodating to our needs. We were allowed to sit in a segregated area of the restaurant where we were freely allowed to sit without the worry of men freely mixing. All waitering staff were excellent too and did not enter the place we were seated but rather left the food outside the dining area for us to simply place on the table with the exception of the hot tawas, However prior warning was given so veils could be put on (if needed). We pre-ordered 3 special tawas and 3 chefs special biriyani (2 lamb/1chkn) all which was of amazing quality and taste. The tawas came with an option of naan /roti and we opted for naan . Which were fresh and tasty and complimented the food well. I would highly recommend both. The food was ready on arrival and arrived soon after all party was seated , piping hot and fresh. The portion sizes were perfect , and we had some left to take home too. All in all, a fantastic meal out and I would highly recommend to families and large parties/groups. I would like to express my compliments the chef and to brother Yasar who took my order and arranged the segregation and partiton facilities for us and the waiters who respected this too.”

“I am a regular here and enjoy the set meal for two which is good value. This is my favourite takeaway in the area. The last time i went it was up there with one of the best curries i have had.”

“I was taken to oodles by a friend who's been several times before. As I normally don't try a new place without recommendations I was expecting something good. Place was packed out, but service was lightning quick! It's a simple idea, but it works really well. You pick the small, medium or large box then add sides and mains. Medium box was packed full and I struggled to finish it so you're going to have to be hungry if you go for the large box. Food was tasty and starters were just as good. Highly recommended for anyone who likes Chinese food especially if you're in a rush!”

“I really loved the pizza and the guy was so friendly. Chatted me up to kill time while I was waiting for my pizza. And the garlic sauce was the best. Said he made it himself. Loved every bit of it”

“I ordered masala dosa. We were delighted by the authentic South Indian cuisines. The spices and flavors were extremely impressive with the food.will definitely order again”

“Head and shoulders above the rest on par with Michelin star”

“Fresh and great tasting curry. Took a couple of pals, who were blown away by the nehari. I had lamb and two veg curries with a chapati and a drink and had plenty of change from a tenner.”

“Thought I would give these guys a try.And certainly was not disappointed.starters bombay platter served with a lovely fresh salad and mint yoghurt,recommended.mains chicken Byriani with veg sauce and south indian chicken tikka again superb and not swimming in oil.And a beautiful peshwari nann.£22.75 great value,excellent food and just over 50 minutes for delivery.Great service and friendly over the phone. Will be definately be sampling a few other things off the menu based on tonight's culinary delights.”

“Consistently the best Indian takeaway. We moved from swinton to bolton and still go out of our way to drive here for curries. We've tried the entire menu and there's never been a bad dish.”

“We came first time last weekend to celebrate my partner's birthday. When we came they had complimentary balloon and card on table and free cake. The food was delicious and service was best ever had. Definitely coming back. Keep it up. Thanks for everything.”

“I had heard good things about this place from a friend and as I was travelling home from work my son amd I decided to swing in. We were made to feel very welcome, the staff are really lovely and the food was top notch. Needless to say we left feeling very full and happy. They have a number of good deals during the week so doesn't hurt your wallet either. We will see you soon”

“We pop in here for a great meal when visiting family in the area.”

You can pay Apple Pay and card payments quick and easy at the door, personal favourite fresh onion bhajis soft in the middle with a nice sauce. Highly recommend to friends niceone lads”

“Fantastic authentic and freshly made Asian/Indian dishes. Very similar to how your mum would cook desi dishes. Whilst it does not boast about great decor, inside is a very simplistic with minimal expense spared on seating, the food and service is great. Simple menu choices and reasonably priced food. Highly recommended for the curry lover.”

“I tried the lamb tikka box meals. Wow it was full of flavour and worth the money. Defo give it a try guys you won't be disappointed.”
