Ordered two chicken pakora and 1 veg pakora. Was charged £17. I received 8 pieces of chicken pakora and 4 pieces of veg. Total rip off. Ended up complaining as I could of got a main course for the same amount. Got £5 and two poppadoms. Still unhappy but was refused a refund for the food.Edit: So glad you took the time to reply back to my review as you have let people know it would be more for 8 pieces of chicken pakora and 4 pieces of veg pakora if I didn't get a discount. I don't think there would be many people want to pay what I did or more. If I went to McD of KFC and wasn't pleased with the quality I would also request a refund. You may not be happy with my review but I was equally unhappy about the quality and quantity of your pakora. The person I spoke to on the night, also agreed that they wouldn't be happy paying what I did. That's the reason I got money back and poppadoms. Always happy to leave a rubbish review when it's needed.

Food ok but not the best curry for flavours. Very noisy which I understand is normal with a large party of men opposite us,but rather ruined it.

Very pleasant experience. Staff were very accommodating. Met the owner and had a lovely chat with him. The food was good, the portions were huge!! Definitely worth what you’re paying for. We ordered the lamb biryani to share between the two of us and we still ended up taking some home in a takeaway box as we couldn’t finish it. Atmosphere was ok, the area has a specific demographic which the restaurant caters too. They tried to target a younger demographic but found it difficult. Hence their reasoning for serving alcohol. Overall pleasant experience, taking into account that there is not a lot of halal options at the Lake District area.Dietary restrictions: Halal food but serve alcohol at the place.Parking: Parked right outside of the shop with no hassle. Was told no traffic wardens come around the area by a local.

Had a take away, chicken pakora tasted like cheap chicken nuggets the vegetable pakora was grated vegetables and burnt, the chips where colourless . The main meals very disappointing too. It's gone down hill as it used to be quite a nice place.

After booking a table, we ordered meals with a pleasant and friendly waiter. The food was fairly quick to arrive and very well enjoyed. Service charge was automatically added to the bill. and the bill sent to us without request. After payment, we were quickly asked to leave the table despite having almost a full bottle of wine left and other drinks.

Eaten here each time we visited Borrowdale in 2023. Booked for Christmas eve and once again an epic meal. Tasty and hot food with great portions. Staff are always warm and welcoming with a family vibe. Keep up the great work guys.
Big standard Indian food, the type you can find on any high street in any UK town. Positives were that the chicken was fairly tender and not overcooked, naan bread was good and the portions are massive. Downside was the actual curry sauce. Tikka masala was a very bizarre unnatural bright red and strangely very sweet. Jalfrezi was predominantly onions which appeared to have e been cooked in a tasteless beige oil. It filled us up and was relatively cheap (compared to London prices) but I wouldn’t return. This was takeaway so can’t comment on the dine in experience.

Food was unbelievably bland. I’ve never tasted a curry like it. Also poppadoms that could be folded in half because they weren’t properly cooked and chewy pilau rice. Definitely avoid

Have been before and will go again! Yet again amazing service, friendly staff and quality food. Brought our friends from America with us and they loved it, not a single complaint around the whole table.

Visited on a rainy night in Keswick because we didn't want to walk far from our accommodation. The food was ok but the service charge of £5.65 left a bad taste in our mouths especially as there was hardly anyone in and the service was nothing to shout about. It's a shame we didn't notice the charge until we had paid. Never again.
Very attentive staff and great food. Easily accomodated a large group of us with no fuss.
