This was my first experience of Jalpuri in Woodley, Reading, unfortunately not likely to order again.Two very different chicken mains, one for me and one for my son, we both found that some pieces of chicken to be tough and chewy, which was extremely off putting and spoiled our meals.This was a takeaway order.The ordering by phone was very easy and the staff member taking my order was polite.The order was ready to collect quite quickly after ordering.Upon arrival at the restaurant, the staff were friendly and polite.I was asked to take a seat for a short time, whilst a staff member fetched my order.Once back home, I dished the food out, it all looked and smelled lovely and the portion sizes were good, everything was nice and hot.But due to some chicken pieces being tough and chewy, the entire meal was ruined, and after spending just over £30.00, I'm disappointed, especially considering my decision to try Jalpuri was based on reading about awards this restaurant had won for their food.I didn't call the restaurant to lodge a complaint, which I should have done, but as it is Mothers Day, and as a family we were trying to enjoy our evening, I didn't want to spoil the evening by making a scene.A bit of a costly lesson learnt!

Lovely food, great staff, but it was just toooooooo hot inside as I was sitting behind the kitchen. Also because the restaurant is quite petite, when we visited there was a big family dining next table, and we could barely have a nice talk because it was just too noisy. Will def visit again coz food is great.

Bloody amazing! Called to order a takeaway at 5pm and it was ready and collected by 17:20.Food was fantastic and everything tasted perfect, can’t fault it at all. Been struggling to find a decent Indian restaurant for the last few years.. definitely found the one I love now! Would highly recommend ??

A wide variety for food to choose from for Sunday buffet. Starters are great - we love chicken wings, lamb/chicken samosas, garlic mushroom, chicken chat, lamb kebab, onion bhaji in particular. These never disappoint us. Their curry is delicious too, and in good portion. I love the crispy base of the naans. The service is fabulous - Fizz is friendly, efficient and helpful, giving good advice when we couldn't decide what to order. Their a la carte price is reasonable with good portion and Sunday buffet is fabulous value for money. Jalpari is my favourite restaurant for Indian food.

Fantastic selection on menu and the food is superb. It's also excellent value for money. I cannot recommend it highly

Superb local Indian - very good food and Fizz always makes us feel incredibly welcome. Offer both banquet night and Sunday menu order buffet.

I agree with the other reviewers that this is a very good restaurant, but it is VERY HARD to find, as it is tucked in behind a Tesco shop. I was a half hour late because my satnav kept takng me to Tesco and I thought it was a mistake. The restaurant actually has a parking lot next to it, but there is a confusing sign which says it is a loading area with no entry for others. They are doing themselves no favours by failing to indicate their location. It wasnt very full yesterday, prsumably because no one could find it. But as a consequence, it was quiet, which is a blessing.

Fantastic Indian. By far best in the area. Finally we have an excellent Indian. Lovely staff and family run. Amazing flavours and reasonably priced.

Best tasting curry and best value Sunday buffet ever. Red Rose use to be my favourite Indian in the area, now it's Jalpari. Keep up the hard work, folks ???Parking: Plenty of parking in the Tescos car park or, after hours, the doctors surgery.Kid-friendliness: They alway give kids a lolly on the way out. Nice touch.Wheelchair accessibility: Direct entrance through the back of the restaurant straight from the car park

Our second visit here for buffet. Starters this time we're ok. The chicken wings were superb, samosas tasty. However the aloo chat was not as my wife expected or remembered from her student days of having this dish. It was bland and uninspiring. The garlic mushrooms were nice but not very garlicky, but that is a matter of personal taste. Main courses were excellent. A wonderful heat to the chicken pathia and the chicken sagwala was excellent. A very good amount of spinach in the sauce. All in all this is an excellent buffet at a great price. Service is very friendly and efficient. What's not to like.
