Awful for BIR curry lovers. However, this is a great Indian if you're from Runcorn and know nothing about Indian food. For anyone looking for authentic BIR food, I'm afraid to tell you it is boring and dull. We ordered four curries all of them had the same texture none had any herbs such as coriander, bay leaf, cinnamon sticks, cloves or such. The curries came in what looked like breakfast bowls which were a first and another surprise was the naan, more like flatbread, that had been cut into triangles with a pizza slicer! Awful. They didn't resemble anything remotely like a naan I have eaten thicker patties. They are supposed to be cooked in a tandoor oven, slightly charred on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You traditionally eat either rice or naan. If you eat naan you place the curry inside and wrap it up which was impossible. As dominos must have been around cutting them all into triangles although they were too small and the wrong shape, regardless. From the moment I saw this, I knew it was designed for the Runcorn audience, who would get too confused with a knife and fork and are more used to Asda or Iceland curries. To be fair, which are more authentic. On the same level of class as the local barbers and local gym! Digging into the curry further found absolutely no texture no tomatoes, onion or peppers it looked like they has all been blended. However, the curries had so much food colouring they seemed to be glowing. Something that maybe contributed to the lighting issue illuminating the table. The restaurant was 30/40% full however the service was incredibly slow. The meat was cooked well if you like it extra soft dissolving in your mouth and that's the only positive I can give. If you have no teeth or use dentures this would be great for you. It would be great to take your nan or maybe kids who don't like real Indian food with spice or someone who knows nothing about BIR food. However, the food may be cheap in quality it is extremely expensive and overpriced. I would strongly recommend staying away unless you don't like nice British India restaurant food, in that...

They went above and beyond to make the evening feel special, adding personal touches that meant so much to us.
The food was absolutely fantastic – rich, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic taste. The team clearly take great pride in both their cooking and their customer service.
A huge thank you to everyone for making this milestone birthday such a memorable one. We’ll definitely be coming back – highly...
Read moreHaving been to Tandori Nights three times now, my experiences have been a little mixed. I initially gave the restaurant a 5* rating but have decided to downgrade to a 4* after trying a few other dishes.
My first meal of a Tandori Mixed Grill was excellent. My second, a Chicken Balti, was good but not exceptional. My third, a Silsila Special, was disappointing and overpriced.
All starters I have had have been very good, with the Onion Bhaji being excellent.
The restaurant itself has a nice decor. The staff are ok, but have mixed up my orders before and sometimes are a little slow...
