Most worse Indian takeaway tonight. Cold to spicy over cooked bhaji chips well over cooked. 25.00 no way ordering again. You need a new chef!!!!!

I’ve never experienced customer service as bad as this, inedible ‘butter chicken’ and two mouthfuls of boiled rice for £2.50. The smallest portion of rice ever and when I asked if we could have some more because it’s very small for £2.50 he said ‘it’s £3.10 actually’??? What kind of customer service is that SO poor. The paratha was hard and stale and the butter chicken was not butter chicken at all. 0/10 do not even bother.

A group of 9 of us were accommodated with ease and excellent service. Poppadoms and pickles, starter, main, rice, sharing a bread plus two drinks worked out at £32 a head. Food was generally hotter than from other similar restaurant's across most of the dishes ordered but were all still tasty and enjoyable. Pickle trays were served in reusable containers, which seemed a little different to the normal. Top tip, Rice portions were for definitely for one person, so don’t under order! Overall, an enjoyable curry experience in the centre of cleethorpes.

Lovely food but not fantastic! We had two very acceptably nice dishes, but it was easy to pick out they were made from the same base sauce. Our order was incorrect but was rectified by a takeaway - however, it would have been better if we had received what we ordered at the table. The chicken in both dishes was tough and dry, an indication that it's pre-cooked and reheated according to the relevant dish. The portion sizes of the rice and naan were not as expected and very small for the price charged - maybe this is a reflection of the cost of living/profit margins? We'd think twice about going again - it's not as good as it used to be - it was nice, not horrible. It really is 'middle of the road'.

We took our grandson Oliver to Eastern Delights on his 23rd birthday this evening. We did mention when we ordered that it was his birthday. After a delicious meal served very hot on really hot plates they produced a Belgian chocolate Birthday Cake with a sparkler and sang Happy Birthday. A very much appreciated surprise and so thoughtful.We have been eating at Eastern Delights for about 30 years and have always enjoyed the food and drink at such reasonable prices with such excellent service.Once again many thanks and we will be back very soon.

Had the vegetable madras, garlic rice and cheese naan bread, they accommodated my hatred of cauliflower, so chef omitted this, the waiter was lovely and polite, the vegetable madras is one of the best I've ever tried, flavours bounced in the mouth. Delicious!Thank you.

Great food, great staff! Just how it has been for the past 15 years ? the best in Cleethorpes marketplace ??

Great service and welcoming staff. I really enjoyed the chicken tikka masala.

For the most part the food was nice tasting or had the potential to be. The chef can thankfully cook for the most part, perhaps change some of his meat supply but ive no doubt he can cook. most of all its a lack of business acumen that trips this place up. When you have 3 curry houses side by side there needs to be be some attention to standing out. Frankly at the end, i felt id lucked out and picked the wrong one.... As i left i had formed an opinion that greed... based on the owners ego and not being in tune or attentive to the details a customer wants is what let this place down..... And I felt frustrated that i had not got what what i paid for.... Modern Décor, but feels a little cheaply done and the single unisex toilet to serve the entire restaurant is woefully inadequate, so go before you visit is my advice.... as if its remotely busy..... the rest of the table will be ordering desert by the time your done. Pickle tray consists of recycled Aldi Bramwells Sauce Jars (ive nothing against Aldi but i felt a little off put by this...like many hands and spoons had been through the same pickles id had and then the lid goes back on for the next person - this is most certainly the case with some of it given the attitude of management) Theres a gallon of lime pickle (which i and many others hate), the red jam, the chopped onion..... But yet the bit thats fresh from the fridge - to go with the onion ( the Mint Riata) comes in a different pot the size of a thimble thats not even full. And this is gone before everyone on a table of four has barely even had a teaspoon full.... And if you want extra riata as a replacement portion that should have been enough in the first place...well thats another pickle tray on your bill....so this all feels a bit of a scam Forget the firm Majority staple favourite of Mango Chutney because it isnt served, so unless you like lime pickle, it basically turns into the jam or onion without the raita....had i known id avoid ordering this all together.... Rice for your curry served in a bowl thats about the size of a tea mug...so be ready for that.....and if your the type to share then your completely screwed....I hope you ordered a nan bread for your new soup it also the consistency of thai sticky rice. I dont know if thats on purpose or overcooked...it was actually really nice, but sadly over before it started and gone in about 3/4 mouthfuls. Sizzling tikka platter main is wheeled out of the kitchen by the waiter then plates it up with tongs before handing it over to you, wasting the whole spectacle. (A: like you can be trusted with a sizzle plate to portion it out yourself at your own preference and B: now everyone else has to watch there food going cold whilst he tries to grab every tiny morsel of ingredient on it)......So by the time its got from the kitchen service, to the trolley, to the table, through the above exercise and then yours put in front of you....congratulations - yours is now Luke warm. I can only assume probably because the restaurant doesn't owns 3 skillet plates...a lot like the fact they dont own enough pickle tray bowls. Food itself was tasty but not nearly enough of it. mixed meat curry consisted of 2 tiny chunks of chicken, 2 small kofta balls and 4 pieces of Lamb mutton that was so tough you couldn't swallow it. Luckily as my rice vanished a fast as it arrived my empty rice mug/bowl was a handy receptacle to deposit the chewed inedible pieces in. If you wish to avoid this issue - stick to a single meat traditional dish, (the lamb is not tossed in at the end and is much more tender) and you will likely enjoy it immensely. I could go on but i wont, thought the above was worth mentioning in the efforts of progress. but overall i would not go again. way too frustrating to enjoy and who wants that when your handing your money over.
Very good friendly service. Extensive menu. Could not fault the food. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back.

My wife and I visited as we had returned to Cleethorpes for our wedding anniversary. We decided to visit places we frequented when courting. The poppadoms tasted stale and cooked in fat that has not reached the required temperature. The cutlery was dirty. The starter - onion Bhajis were very crispy - I mean over cooked. The main, my wife could not eat it. It tasted awful. We left leaving most of our meal, which when asked if everything was ok, we informed them truthfully. We informed them that we had not visited in several years, but the food was awful to which they said it is the same chief. We paid in full for the meal, no offer of discount, although I did not give the feedback for that. I would not recommend visiting. This was one of, if not the best Indian years ago, but sadly not any more.

We were unsure when we walked in to this place as there wasn't anybody else eating there. But the food was fantastic, best curry I have had in a very long time. Would highly recommend this place. I had the rogan josh.

One of the best Indians we’ve eaten. We hadn’t booked so, didn’t expect to be seated with how busy they were. Seated within 5 minutes and served promptly. Fresh food, great service, highly recommended.
