Great take away from here! Tasty food and friendly service. Will eat here again I'm sure.Vegetarian options: Almost every curry has a veggie and a mushroom option.

Amazing old school curry house, by far the best in town. Brilliant food, friendly family staff. Been coming here for 17 years now, still great.

Always reliably good. Don’t be put off by the fire escape entrance - once get inside it’s an honest traditional “English Indian”. Restaurant manager always friendly and helpful and utterly reliable chef. Gets my vote for best Indian restaurant in the

One of the worst Indian takeaway I have ever been. Food was not fresh, and the curry was not what I was expecting. It was worst experience, not a worthy one!

It’s not somewhere you take someone you like .. portions were small and food the worst I’ve ever had for a sit down meal out . They need a new chef …The restaurant itself is dark and dingy. looks like it’s not been decorated in 30 years … only one toilet that is disgusting ….one to Avoid sorry ?

This must be the worst Indian meal we have ever had. It was tasteless and expensive for what we got . Our main meals came on very small dishes almost like side plates the chicken tikka was thick wrong colour and no taste, as was my husbands chicken dopiaza the coconut rice was nothing like coconut rice , the garlic nan was like cardboard. It was no better than a supermarket meal deal ( in fact that’s an insult to the supermarkets , their food is better)The decor is awful so old and tired, it’s dirty in fact we nearly turned and walked back out but we were told the food is nice. Now I wish we had.I certainly would never recommend anyone to eat there.With response to your comment to me being extremely drunk I take great offence to this as I’m a 61 year old lady, if I was as drunk as you imply why did you serve me ? As this is against licensing laws ? . I was not drunk I had one small bottle at your establishment as I was driving, so if that’s all you can come back with I feel this is very petty and wrong of you.We did not have 3 courses we had a starter and a main meal each and we couldn’t eat the food as not up to standardYes we paid the bill in full simply for politeness.I feel you should take on board a little criticism and learn from it , speaking from a couple who have run numerous food outlets.Also maybe read some of the genuine comments from othersCaroline
Amazing food this is the best curry house for many a mile, great value and service. Chicken Tikka Ceylon, Garlic rice and a Keema Naan wins every time!

Ordered food for delivery. Chicken Madras with Keema Rice and a Vegetable Masala with Pilau Rice, a Naan and some chips. Food arrived fairly quickly (within about 30 minutes on a Sunday night)Unfortunately the food was terrible. The Madras had no flavour whatsoever and no spice either, it looked watered down yet somehow had the consistency of spaghetti Bolognese. The Keema rice was pale and flavourless. The Vegetable Masala was just a generic curry "sauce" and not a Masala at all. The chips came pressed into a foil container with a cardboard lid and were soggy and cold. The Naan was edible.The worst curry I have ever eaten. Utterly baffled by all these reviews. The other Curry place in Northallerton is hit and miss but when they get it right it's miles ahead of this place.

Have dined here & had takeaway a few times from Lion of Asia & the food is always of a high quality & man on front of house is always polite and welcoming. Decor in the restaurant is quite tired & dated & could do with some refresh, but otherwise a highly recommended Indian restaurant/takeaway.
