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.

Been going to this restaurant for years and has always been the best curry in the borough of Wigan. Tonight my daughter and myself had our usual, Chicken Korma and Chicken Chilliwala. The daughters Korma was not the usual thick coconut sauce but a watery...version without the deep coconut flavor. As for mine, it is usually a dark red sauce and thick texture. Tonight it was watered down to an orange colour sauce and lacking flavor apart from the cooked chillies. I compared my dish with the one I took a photo in the summer and the colour difference is very evident.More

The Curry Pot used to be THE best in Ashton and maybe Wigan but sadly not anymore. We’ve been mainly takeaway customers since it opened. Occasional restaurant meal with families. Staff always friendly and good service. However the last 3 takeouts way below usual standard....The last one very poor. For a medium heat chicken tikka dopiaza it was totally bland and flavourless and watered down. It consisted of a weak base sauce, a couple of chunks of pepper but mainly a watery sauce and just 5 small pieces of chicken. Dopiaza is known as ‘Double onion’ for its onion rich sauce, it was hardly noticeable. This is ‘shrinkflation’ for sure. Onion bhajis were smaller too but flavour ok… Third time disappointed with a takeaway. Very sad. Prices have increased which I totally agree with but if you wish to retain custom, don’t dilute the curries! I really do hope they take more of these reviews. I’ll make my own from now on!More

We have been going here since it opened. And even had family and friends come out of town off of our recommendations. Since having a child with needs we cannot get out much but we get take aways. Tonight the food was below par by...far. The food was obviously rushed. The mint sauce was watered down so much it ran off the poperdoms. My usual chicken tikka rongpur was also watered down and tasted nothing like it usually does. Please stop, don't risk loosing customers over saving stock. This food was not what we know and expect from youMore

Called in the hope of a table for 2 - we hadn’t booked. We were shown to a table & offered the menu & drinks list. For starters we shared popadoms & ‘dip board’ & was very nice. We also shared onion bhajis & I...requested they be extra crispy (don’t like the ‘paste’ often found in middle) & request was fulfilled. So no problems with starters For our mains hubby had Tikka Masala & I opted for ‘butter chicken’ The sauces on both were very nice & hubby’s tandoori chicken was good if a little dry. Unfortunately my tandoori chicken was very dry. Am glad we only ordered one portion of pilau rice to share as we would have wasted much of it especially as the portion size of our mains was perhaps over generous For drinks hubby had a lager shandy & I had a white wine spritzer. We finished with a white rum liqueur coffee (me) & a cappuccino (hubby). Although they tasted ok they were not made quite as we expected - cappuccino wasn’t very frothy on top & liqueur coffee was not topped with cream but stirred in Overall we enjoyed our meal & staff were very attentive & offered an end of meal ‘shot’ on the house (we decided not to have).More

3 of us ate in at the beginning of February. The service was very slow and disorganised. The wait for drinks and in between courses was complete unacceptable. Despite this the food was ok, but very small portions which is not what we have previously...experienced when ordering takeaway after it was recommended to us. As our usual Indian takeaway has recently closed, we decided to give it another chance last night. We placed a telephone order for collection. They advised the waiting time was an hour. Ok, we accepted that, our choice. However, after arriving to collect an hour later as advised, we had to wait another 40 mins. We asked on 2 occasions about the food and delay. Each time we were told it would be a couple of minutes. Make your own mind up😊 We thenMore

Starters came out just warm. Made it up with a new starter which was hot. Pint of cobra was flat. Main course - korma, tasted of pure coconut and no korma flavour. Cheesy, garic naan. Extremely bland. Rogan josh - suppose to be medium. Blew...my head off after being told it was only medium. Never had a problem at any other Indian. Disappointed, heard great things but wont be returning.More

Went for the first time last night after racing at Haydock. Recommended by locals in nearby pub. I would travel here again just for the food and the friendly service. Food was excellent, good prices and staff were amazing. They tried to order a cab...for us which didn’t arrive after many recalls. We were stranded and one of the staff drove us home to our hotel. Unbelievable. Credit to Ashton and that community. Please visit and support this local business. They deserve it.More

We've tried pretty much every single Indian we know of within our area over the last few years and can honestly say this one blows them all out of the water. We actually put off trying here at first, as we thought that it was...just a dine-in restaurant, but when we realised you could call and pick up for takeaway we jumped right on it, and never looked back since! We now go to this place every couple of weeks, excellent service and food. Food is always fresh with really succulent meats and fresh veg and natural sauces. Always red hot when picking up too, fresh off the grills and kept nicely. We always find we end up with extra free stuff too, whether its free starters or free beers. Not sure this is part of how much we spend or just a nice 'thank you' for our loyal custom, but who cares if it's free right? Price wise it's pretty great too, for the portions we get. We normally spend around £16-£20, and have 3 meals from the food we order, and we're always full to the brim after it and never finish it all! Highly recommend!More

Descent Indian food in a restaurant where pictures of Venice’s Rialto bridge is part of the decor, or much ambiance to speak of. The food is ok but lacked some spice and complexity to it. Service was very good, albeit some language difficulties along the...way.More
