We ordered a take away approx 4 weeks ago after a recommendation and found it to be very good, great flavour and rich and creamy.we then ordered one last night, 17th Feb and were so disappointed with what we received. The chicken korma was so watery, no flavour at all, the chicken was like cardboard, the plain naan was so cold and had become an unpleasant item, I also ordered balti shashlik and was extremely disappointed in that course to, more onion than chicken, plus cardboard and flavourless. We spent £26.00 and you expect food of a high standard. My wife will now never use them again, such a shame.

Outstanding food.... Can't believe anyone would give this place a bad review... Really friendly staff... One of the three best Prawn Purees I have ever had... Including a visit to India..... Chefs special karai was amazing too.... Great authentic Bengal style food.... Just like when I was in Kolkata.... Loved

Excellent quality Indian food, wide variety of choices including plenty of veggie options. Generous portions and reasonably priced. Staff were really friendly and service was quick! Definitely stop in if you are visiting the lakes like we were! Thank you :)Vegetarian options: Can have any curry with paneer!

Got a takeaway had to wait 2 hours for a start after being told 1 hour. Food came and was shocking. Chicken tikka masala was literally like watery tomato soup and how they can call the Passanda that is beyond me. Definitely just food colouring and additives involved rather than authentic food. Was completely inedible. Even the garlic nan was dry. The only nice thing of the meal was the poppadoms. So disappointed. Had to bin it.

Takeaway order was wrong, food was ok. Too much sugar and food colouring added to the food. The food is tailored more for western taste if you want authentic then I wouldn't get it from here.

We arrived a few minutes before our table was booked, a big party and deposits had been paid. Staff turned up at the same time our table was booked, we entered the restaurant with them and were shown to our table and seated. It took about 20 minutes for our drinks order to be taken, another 25 for food. The restaurant was cold, portable heaters arranged around us. Overall, just not an enjoyable experience.

Had a chicken shashlik, which had 3 pieces of chicken in it and the rest onion, so 90% onion, should be advertised as an onion shashlik, so quite poor and a cheap trick to pull. Won't be going there again.

We live in Kendal and if we want a sit down curry we go to The Jheel. The premises have had a makeover recently and are good. The staff are great. The food is excellent. Every time! Highly recommended from a local.
Quite simply the best Indian outside of Manchester! So much flavour and the best service!

The place is nice and conveniently located. The downsides were that some of the stuff was not friendly and that the food was no that good. The menu featured a lot of items but most of them did not taste authentic. All the dishes had a lot of room for improvement. Nevertheless the food was not BAD.

Samosas were delicious. However the Cucumber raita should have been grated Cucumber with yoghurt and not pieces of Cucumber mixed with yoghurt. Daal and Naan were both delicious. Biriyani was a bit disappointing...never seen boiled egg served in meat Biriyani! Wide variety of halal mocktails should be offered

Fantastic food tonight, best curry I have had in a long time and I eat a lot of curry ? Chicken tikka Naaga was outstanding and the Chicken tikka afghani amazing. Both very tasty and lots of spice. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back next time we visit Kendal ❤

ToJheel Mgmt,Where should I begin... there are so much flaws I don't know where to start.. let's start with the AWFUL SERVICE. Oh my god. The service?Terrible. They didn't allow us to charge our devices, honestly put up a sign ? ? or if your'e not bothered pls just cover the outlet or notify us. The staff was terrible and rude, definitely would not recommend we left immediately after this incident without eating. 0 stars, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
