Lime Indian Restaurant & Takeaway — Restaurant in Broxtowe

My starter dish that fell short of my expectations was the lamb chops. I had been looking forward to tender, succulent pieces of lamb cooked to perfection. However, what I received was far from that. The lamb was undercooked and chewy, making it difficult to enjoy the dish. One of the dishes I was most excited to try was the famous Chicken Masala. I had heard that it was a delicious and flavorful curry dish, so I was eagerly anticipating a burst of flavors when I took my first bite. However, when the dish arrived at my table, I was surprised to see that the chicken masala was red in color, rather than the vibrant orange I had expected. Now, I know that appearance shouldn't be the sole basis for judging a dish, but it was hard to get past the initial shock. The red hue made the dish look more like a tomato-based pasta sauce than a traditional Indian curry. Unfortunately, the taste didn't make up for the disappointing presentation either. The flavors were bland and lacked the complexity I had anticipated. So, why did my experience with Indian food leave me feeling disappointed? I believe there are a few factors at play here. First, it's important to note that taste preferences are subjective. What one person finds delicious, another might find bland. Timing I couldn't help but notice that the minutes were passing by slowly. I glanced at my watch and realized that it had been nearly half an hour since I placed my order.

The meal wasn’t worth the price I paid for wouldn’t recommend It took so long to getting...

It’s difficult writing this review as both of us used to LOVE the food here. I hadn’t eaten from here for approximately 11 years until today, it used to be my favourite Indian restaurant and I’d have a takeaway from here once a week (minimum) for a couple of years. The owner is really nice - hasn’t changed hands, so when we arrived to pick up the food I had no doubts that the food would be delicious. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala - the chicken was dry & tough, the sauce was very thick & a little spicy (no sweetness or creaminess). I couldn’t even eat half of it sadly. It does come with rice, you don’t have to order it separately so that was good. However, it was not nice - do not recommend! Lamb Biryani - ordered mild, it was extra spicy. Overpowering which ruined the dish. Lamb was dry & tough. Very disappointing- do not recommend. Onion Bhaji’s - best part of the meal. Veg Pakora - they were disgusting. Burnt, dry, chewy & completely tasteless. I tried to eat them but they were inedible. These used to be soooo good. Poppadoms - nice. Total cost was £34. Expensive to say that half of it went in the bin. I didn’t read the other reviews until afterwards and it’s a shame because it used to be a 5 star place. The staff today were friendly & welcoming, service was fast. A massive shame that the food was so disappointing. Sadly we...

First visit to Lime. Decided to bring a couple of cans of pilsner with me as I was unsure on if they were licenced or not. Went as a group of four and was seated by a kind waiter. I asked him if I could have my own drinks to which he replied "yes only your own alcohol". Perfect. I asked for a glass which arrived swiftly and proceeded to pour my first drink. Before I knew it, a different, aged man in a shirt took the can out of my hands and loudly stated "NO cans. ONLY bottles. YOU can't have that in here." This was embarrassing and I felt like a naughty child back at school. I explained how the other waiter hadn't specified that I wasn't allowed cans only to be pointed to some tiny writing above the till which you wouldn't see on your way in unless you stood nose-to-nose at the front desk. To make matters worse, I was presented a tiny bottle of warm Stella and told to drink that instead. Apparently cans look "tacky" which is fair enough, and I wouldn't have minded if I wasn't 'told off' like a naughty boy. Anyway, after the man had finished his harassment I proceeded to pop next door and grab a couple of bottles of lager to have with my meal as I don't drink Stella and certainly don't appreciate being made to feel like I was a criminal. If I do ever return, I'll be sure to bring my bottles and magnifying glass. Although I probably won't, because the food is...
