Lion of Asia — Restaurant in England

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 standard Yes 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...

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...

Looked at the reviews and seemed decent enough so gave it a go as Leicester based Indians we craved a good Indian after a week. Anyway walk through the alley and up the stars on a very warm Friday night at 6.30 pm and it was empty but greeted by a muscular friendly macam. Ordered a chicken pakora for the kids, popadoms and Main was saag paneer with sides of daal and aloo chana, plain rice, 2 naans and 2 chappatis and 4 soft drinks. This would have been a 4 atleast as the service and food was decent BUT when we paid it was over £74!!! I dint pay this much in Leicester let alone Northallerton!! I'm still in a state of shock and nearly returned back to question the bill, but as it's the last day of our holidays just thought I'd take it on the chin! £74 for...
