Went to Purple Pakora New Years Eve, excellent service & food was amazing. Our waiter was Dave he was just coming up to 12 months working there, nothing was too much trouble, any questions about what the different types of curry were, he was very helpful & pleasant with a great personality. We all said what a great night it was and it makes all the difference if you have a lovely waiter, thanks Dave & Purple Pakora. Definitely would recommend 10/10 Christine Doorbar + 3

Really enjoyed our night out here, great atmosphere, food was spot on , good selection of starters and good size naan breads on a hook. We will be back in the new year.

I’m not from around congleton however I went to see some friends and we chose the Purple Pakora to eat at for a catch up, I walked in and the place was gorgeous, the flowers, the neon lights, everything was set out perfectly and the decor was impeccable. We were greeted by the door staff who was very friendly and polite, they kindly shown us to our table and asked to get us started on some drinks, they arrived quickly and with a smile. We ordered our starters which arrived in no more than 10 minutes and there was a few of us eating there so I was surprised and happy with the service, the food was lovely and was well presented on the plate. Next was the main course, I had the vindaloo curry with pilau rice which was incredible, it had the perfect amount of flavour and the spice to it blew my head off, 10/10 meal, and what really topped it off was the caramel naan bread I had on the side which I have never seen anywhere else before, it was unique and superb, I couldn’t recommend it enough, I wish more places served it. All in all the experience was AMAZING! And I loved it, all the staff were so kind and I’ll definitely be returning back in the future.

Me and my family came in, we hadn’t booked but they were still able to sit us quickly. The staff were kind and very cooperative. I can’t wait to return with friends and will definitely book here in the future! Thank you for such a tasty meal and lovely atmosphere.

Ohh my god,!. What an absolute beautiful meal that was.I am so fussy with takeaways, I only order from places with 5 star food hygiene ratings, boy you can tell you have yours. That food was so fresh, coriander in the Indian salad. Wow fantastic. Curry blown my mind, so much flavor. I never finish a meal, but I did this one. Absolutely blown away by the quality and freshness from here. Would 1000 percent recommend, definitely worth the price and was delivered on time. We'll done to all your team, clearly working very hard and it shows. Will definitely be coming to dine in your restaurant next time.

Staff couldn't understand you properly, bad customer service skills. Not really a decent size

Random stop on the way home has found a fantastic Indian restaurant. The flavours in the curry were dot on, potentially (outside of my friends wife's cooking) one of the best butter chickens I have tasted. They even made it a bit spicier at my request.Nice atmosphere and fantastic attentive servers. Certainly be coming back again .Bill for two with drunks came in at 55 quid which was decent for decent food.

Food was amazing, shame the same can’t be said for the service. Never been to a restaurant where they scrape the left over food onto plates on your table and then leave it there whilst they take the plates away, drinks were left on the bar that long the ice had melted in the glass, really need to address the way they look after customers losing a lot of money . The service spoilt the night.
I was pleasantly surprised to find such inspiring and tasty Indian food in a sleepy town in Cheshire! Really tasty and authentic flavours, highly recommended.

We’ve been to the purple pakora 3 times in the last month , our favourite dishes are the butter chicken and korma , I’ve had curry In Restaurants across the country and I can honestly say without doubt Congleton purple pakora is the best I’ve ever had , it’s really is a 5 star dining experienceThe flavours are exceptional, the restaurant also looks great with the pink tree and the bubbling water display on the back wallThe cheese naan and how it is presented a particular highlightA treasure Congleton should be proud !

It was against my better judgement to visit this place as the prices looked a bit steep in my opinion, but I was prepared to pay as apparently it is one of Congleton’s top Indian restaurants. How wrong were these people?! Upon arrival we were asked about drinks and then ordered our food. Now allow me to put some perspective on this. The place was around half full and we did not order starters, just popadoms, which did arrive very promptly and were nice. Thereupon we waited over a full hour for our food. That’s too long. When the food arrived I was very excited. I had ordered a vindaloo and was prepared to have my head blown off by the chilli and hot spices. What arrived was a bland curry which had all the spice of a Balti. I was so disappointed. The other half ordered a chicken shashlik, which I am told was tasteless, with chewy chicken and a lukewarm sauce. His daughter had a chicken masala which had no spice whatsoever, even for a 12 year old. The best things about the whole experience were the hot and spicy Bombay chips and the naan breads, which were tasty as well as massive. All in all, very bland food and extremely poor service. Such a disappointment!!

WOW!!! What an incredible experience, me and my friend went as a birthday treat and the staff were friendly, the starters were beautiful, and the atmosphere was so aesthetically pleasing! A special thank you to Bobby who made the entire experience better with a cheery character. The mains were spot on! i had the Tandoori butter chicken and my friend had the chicken tikka masala! The naan breads were exactly as described by the waiter who took our order in a respectful and professional manner. During the end of our meal the staff played happy birthday music and brought out a birthday sundae. We were not expecting that! Keep up the Good work Purple Pakora
