Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went to the Salford Quays branch for lunch this week. Absolutely fabulous food. Really great price. Loads of veggie choice and a massive portion. Authentic South Asian cuisine. Great flavours and nothing pretentious. Really clean premises and fabulous service

I hadn’t been for ages and made a trip especially, having previously given a 5* review. It wasn’t as good as I remembered- food was ok, but nothing special, not as much flavour as before. Also there used to be the option for half/ half...rice and chapati but apparently this is no longer possible. Instead I had to pay 90p extra for a cold chapati that had a third of it missing as it had been torn off! One staff member was friendly but the other guy was very abrupt and I think he needs training in customer service. Not sure if it’s a language problem but he didn’t seem to understand what we were asking for and didn’t respond to questions appropriately. Also there is an app for the restaurant but it didn’t seem to work and the staff weren’t bothered about it. I was told “can you just pay as we are very busy”. However there were no customers waiting, but I expect it was the online orders through Deliveroo as there were takeaway drivers hanging around in the restaurant which also kind of kills the atmosphere - seems like Chapati Cafe gives priority of service to online takeaway orders now. Overall I’d say it was ok, but I wouldn’t bother travelling all the way there especially.More

We ordered via Uber eats. They sent us cold food. But the real issue was the chicken curry with the STONE COLD RAW potatoes in it. When I asked the person who answered the phone to ask the chef to taste other shouted back straight...away, “ It’s cooked” without even trying it. When I asked to talk with the manager, they put the phone down on me and refused to answer. First and last time here. We didn’t trust the rest of the mealMore

I have been coming here regularly for a few years now, it's a regular mid week dinner spot. All I can say is it is absolutely amazing value for money. My daughter is a fussy eater but loves it here, she doesn't do curry but...they have other things for young children. It's not a regular curry house, it's a rice and three place and what's available changes throughout the week. They have just added outside seating. Much healthier and even cheaper than a takeaway, this is a really hidden gem for a quick lunch or dinner.More

We rang repeatedly and they hung up then when I went in person they didn't answer the phone the 30 mins I was waiting. The 'Chapati Cafe' app doesn't work so order via Deliveroo or Uber Eats as you may have more luck getting what...you want if you order online. 'Saturday's menu' wasn't available for veggie so it was a lucky dip of three things for the thali two of which tasted the same, cauliflower and peas or potato and peas. The vegetable dal was a thin soup with nothing in it and like no other dal I've had before, I left it. Since it was only 6.30pm and they serve until 10pm I'd have expected they would still be making the full range of 4 veggie dishes, but alas no. My meat eating partner seemed happy enough with the meat options so I'll give them one more chance online and see if they can fulfil my order. The chapati were fine.More

I love the food, but it's frustrating that I usually have to call multiple times before anyone answers the phone. This evening I've tried 7 times. Who knows if I'll be eating or not?

I love love love the Thali concept. There really aren't enough of them around. But this is one of the best. Pick chapatti or rice and your three selected curries. The sides (bhaji, samosas etc) are absolutely delicious. I travel over 20miles to get this...on a regular basis and it has never failed me yet.More
