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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Do not go to this restaurant. It will give you food poisoning. There is tubes in some pieces of chicken, and the chicken is not cooked properly. Your food arrives cold even if you literally live a 3 minute drive away. Absolutely terrible. Needs shutting...down. Its been like this the last 4 times ive been. Terry bell.More

The food arrived on time, the chicken was tough and there was no yogurt sauce with the onion Bhaji. The chapati was hard and the cheesy garlic bread was hard and not cheesy at all. Very disappointed as I paid £31.50p. I should have gone...to Alams loungeMore

I went to tip the waitress and the waitress said to me that she doesn’t get to keep the tips which is so shameful for a restaurant to keep the workers tips!

I am a regular at this Indian and I have been for as long as I can remember. 100% the best Indian in Barnsley. You cannot complain about the price, the quality of food, and how you are treated by the staff from when you...arrive to when you leave. The food is always piping hot when served and is 10/10 every time, if there is ever a problem they insist on correcting it with no hesitation. There is a reason it’s always my go to Indian 👌🏻More

I have been a regular to this restaurant and absolutely love it. I took two of my work colleagues on Tuesday night as I had raved about this place so much. The staff are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. One of my colleagues...said the Tandoori mixed grill was the best he had ever had. Now that is an accolade. Well done chaps keep it up.More

We ordered at 1.30pm online with the website (not on just east), and ordered for delivery 7.45pm, 8.05pm still had not arrived so I called customer service awful, took him 5 mins to find the order and said its out with the driver. 8.30pm still...not arrived, thought the food must have been coming from Bradford!!!! , so i called again, spoke to someone different, who took about ages again to find my order and again the same message with the driver... explained that what I got told 20 mins ago!!!!! finally the food arrived 60 mins late and was luke warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously if you eat in the service and food must be ok but the delivery side of it is awful - food 1 hour late ....... if i had not called then I do not think we would have any food because I do not think anyone runs the online service who knows how to process orders as I think when I called 1st time that's when they started to cook........ AVOID ONLINE ORDERING I really do not think this place can cope with any takeaway orders - customer service 0More

We visited last Tuesday with some friends.Ive used the restaurant for takeaways in the past but I've never dined in. We were greeted by friendly staff and nothing was too much for them.I asked for something that is never on the menu and they were...only too happy to oblige and I have yo say, it was probably the nicest Keema Vindaloo I've ever had. We shared the mix grill starter for 4 between 5 of us,and there was more than plenty,I highly recommend this dish. Fish masala,l chops,seekh Kebab,Chicken pakora,chicken wings on a sizzling plat ter on a bed of onions with a large jug of raita,I could have juste eaten that!!!! My wife's No 1 choice for food is always Italian, but I love a curry, and even she said she can't wait to go back. I only live locally, and I will definitely dine again and highly recommend this restaurant. Our friends travelled from Bournemouth and said its one of the nicest they've had. Thanks to Ali and all the team who looked after some(not so regular)curry eaters.More

The best Indian food anywhere in South Yorkshire and we've tried a lot! Absolutely delicious, the fish was excellent and everything we tried was outstanding. Already booked in for the Sunday buffet and this is now our number 1 restaurant for dine in and take...away. One of our daughters has a nut allergy and the staff were brilliant reassuring us what she could have. If you are looking for amazing food, unpretentious surroundings and fab service then this is the place to go.More
