Gulshan Tandoori — Restaurant in England

Truly shocking this place has somehow gotten 5 star reviews unless people really have that low of standards.

We sat down and the plate settings were on the table (supposed to be clean), one plate was dirty with oil on it and a piece of hair.

The food came out, chicken tikki masala’s, never in my life have I had this version of tikki masala. Was just extremely bright red candy looking sauce and chunks of chicken. It was very sweet. The chicken was decent. The pilau rice was bland. The garlic naan was alright but not good quality butter or garlic flavour.

The server was a young guy who was actually very sweet and lovely. He did a good job and was very friendly. All the staff are very young. The owner was there and was very friendly with the locals.

The chairs were dirty looking. Lots of flies in all over our food as we ate because the front door stays open, very gross and very annoying. We had to cover the naan with napkins.

Cash only which was obvious from the signs posted. Our receipt was just our order written on scrap paper, no actual receipt. Feels very shoddy.

Would not recommend unless many of the above things improve. It could be awesome if it was cared for. Good luck to the kids working there and...

Went out for a date night and thought we would try somewhere different and new as we both love Indian. The food was ok - however the service was not good to say the least. We were fully aware that it was a casual venue. However, the two servers were unattentive and inexperienced, and the main woman who took our order was also the same. During the meal we were asked how our meal was, but this was only said by who we believed to be the chef. After the meal we were never asked if we would like another drink or desserts, and when our bill came that was when they mentioned it was cash only. We were not told on booking, or made aware prior to sitting down that it was cash only and no card payment available. I had to travel to Easingwold to go to an ATM to get cash. We suggest that they make customers aware about this upon booking a table or entering the premises. Sadly to say that it did put more of a dampener on the evening as I had to leave my partner in the venue to...

Travelled 4.5 hours to get to Stillington. Arrived at 1900 and decided to have dinner. The poppadoms were stale (at least a day old). Tarka Dhal needed garlic as had zero flavour Cauliflower bajhi had spice on it that I could visually see but tasted of nothing. I consider that a magic trick of great skill. The owner made me what he called a 'vindaloo special'...It was special alright. No heat, flavours were weak. The rice had so much oil in the bottom of the bowl, I'm sure I could have strained it and used it to fire up a local tractor. The best thing about this place was the drunken patron at the bar who was hilarious entertainment. The owner apologised about the drunkard but really he should have been apologising about the food. Save your money and get fish and chips down the road or go to the pubs...
