We came for my nanas 70th birthday! And the service and staff were amazing, very welcoming, friendly and up to have a laugh.What can I say about the food?Nothing other than, it was the best curry I’ve tasted. Definitely filling. Would 100% recommend and will be going again!

Priced accordingly to the special surroundings. My main meal was colder than expected so so improvement needed there.

The food was exceptional, home made sauces, naan bread and traditional indian desserts. Super tasty and beautiful presented curries. I would highly recommendKid-friendliness: Very child friendly, high chairs providedWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible, up stairs. Bathroom up stairs.

Food was nice, however we felt like we were rushed home straight after the meal. As soon as we put the fork and knife down, withing a second the waiter came to clean the table. Older gentleman was walking around the restaurant all the time and as soon as the table was empty he started staring at us. It felt little uncomfortable. Restaurant was half empty, they were not struggling for spaces.

Just had a really good meal with my family, we only booked that afternoon but was probably quieter than usual as it had snowed, we were able to have the Sunday set menu, arrive by five to ensure you get it! But it’s good value for what you receive. The normal menu I found to be more expensive than most other Indian restaurants. Everyone loved their starters, probably just missing lime pickle for the popadoms but they had a coleslaw dip instead. The food was tasty, the main course meat lamb was ok could have been a bit better as was a bit on tougher side rather than melt in the mouth. But overall we all enjoyed it , I think it’s £17.95 for over 10. Drinks/ desserts are also on the higher side. Service was really good and face clothes provided / chocolate with bill. Attention to detail was good in the restaurant.

Fine dining Indian food. We go half a dozen times a year and always have an excellent meal. Price reflects this. Don’t personally have an issue with the cost of the food. We always order too much and take home the surplus. A treat for any family members who can’t come with us. Sometimes we add an additional meal to the take home. But last week they charged us for the take home foil trays. No warning, the charge was just added to the bill. Total bill including wine was £175 for three. Plus 6x£1 for six trays. We simply reduced the tip which may affect the staff more than the owner but maybe the message will get passed on. Oh, and when we got home there were only 5 trays. Exceptional food but plot lost. Won’t over order in future.

Loved the food . Staff extremely friendly . Only didn’t give 5 stars due to being charged £3 for one of the party taking home some uneaten food(including uneaten rice from a different dish that wasn’t asked for) May have to cover costs but come on!!!

One of the best Indian restaurants I've eaten in in ages.
Overpriced! The bill came in and we were charged £48.00 service charge. The service was nothing special, and when we spoke to the waiter his response was 'they charge this in manchester' ..... we're not in manchester, it was a Sunday night...in bolton, and should be happy for the custom. We asked to speak to the manager and apparently he wasn't around. We left our number for the manager but he never phoned. We've since phoned 3 times and as yet nobody wants to speak to us. Not professional at all from cardamom cream. Disappointing!

This restaurant charges around £35 for a curry and rice on average. They try to offer a higher quality experience. The food is very nice, however My family of 5 wanted to take home our curry’s etc . The bill was £200 with tap water and 1 beer for drinks, so not cheap. I had no issue with the price as I have been many times before, but not for a year or so. I was really disgusted to see they have created a “rule” according to their staff, that I had to pay £1 per foil tray , per item , therefore an extra £10, just to take away the food I had already paid £200 for. “What!,,” they were apologetic but said this was the rule now. They agreed they don’t charge £1 per foil tray on their takeaway service. I asked them several times if they felt this was a sensible business decision as they cost pennies to buy and surely this is petty and easily absorbed, and especially considering the current economy and how companies are profiteering with prices ? It’s a principal thing, you don’t charge £10 to allow customers to take home the £200 food they have already bought from you? They said that’s the “rule” , so they binned the food. Considering we supported them during lockdown, with takeaways, we will no longer ever go back. Sad for ramsbottom , as it will drives away customers. The only way to stop this, is to stop using them and others who think that’s acceptable . Hence they lost a £20 tip!

Nice food but they charge to take your meal home, it's very expensive anyway and to be charged to take food home is a joke.

Food was very good and fresh and very clean premises would go back

Somethings changed in this restaurant, been coming for nearly 8 years, always been 100%, but the last 2 times very basic and bland. The table we specified wasnt ready for us but we wasnt informed. There was over 8 of us, with a huge bill of over £400 but was asked for 60 pence, when we was leaving a £40 tip as we usually do, but absolutely wasnt going to when asked for 60 pence, diabolical! Needless to say we are changing to the one up the road.
