Been several times over the last few months and eaten in at the restaurant, each time has been in the week and it has been very quiet.
Every time the food has been very good, amongst the best I have had at any Indian and certainly the best in the North in my opinion, they are also happy to do variations on dishes should you request it.
The staff are very friendly and have been very attentive every time I have been, the service has also been very quick, however this has always been in the week when quiet so I don't know if this changes at the weekend.
They are reasonably priced for an Indian, not the cheapest but fairly average for the quality of the food.
My only criticism would be the lack of Indian desserts, they do feature Gulab Jamun on the menu but will only have it in if you call ahead the day before and ask for it, this is fine unless you are going at the last minute! The ice cream they do is not Indian but is quite nice.
All in all a very good Indian and one of my favourite...
Read moreOne of the worst Indian restaurant experiences I've had. Attended prompt at 18:00 hrs for a booking made for 4 adults and 2 children. When asked for sparkling water all they had was soda water or tonic water. There was no children's menu, after 1.5 hrs all we had been given was a plate of poppadoms and some pickles. Eventually our starters arrived, the butterfly king prawns were virtually inedible as they were smothered in thick batter. and the Bhuna prawns on Puri were nearly cold. After a further long wait the mains arrived, reasonably ok however by this time one of the children had fallen asleep and had to have his food packed in a container as a doggy bag. The wait to pay the bill was also too long. I would normally have walked out but this was supposed to be a special night out with our daughters family and we didn't want to spoil it and frighten the children....

We used to use this restaurant and take away regularly, but moved to near the coast, we were pleased to see they deliver here too.
Had a pickles tray followed by our mains. Wife had king prawn sag (spinach) with veg pilau. It was spot on with huge prawns and great flavour, I had chicken Dupiaza with mushroom pilau, it was delicious too. Real chicken breast (not like others around here who use reconstituted frozen chicken lumps). Meals tasted authentic and were the best we have had in years. 10/10. If you are trying to decide which indians to use, give these a try - I dont think you will be disappointed! Update, We have now had 3 more deliveries from Pan Ahar and can report that the consistency is amazing, each new meal being as good...
