The Lime Tree — Restaurant in England

Was very disappointed after reading all these good reviews. It was nothing but bland bland bland. £40 on a takeaway is a very rare treat and all of it was bland, no flavour whatsoever, zero spice on anything. Tikka Masala had no spice whatsoever, I know this isn't supposed to be a hot curry but usually there is some mild spice with smokey flavour chicken and rich but slightly sweet sauce but it was just plain and boring more like a plain tomato pasta sauce out of a jar. Bombay Aloo was again bland with no flavour or any spice, may as well been tinned new potatoes with a few onions chucked in. Mrs had a Korma as she always does when we get a curry, now I know this is supposed to be bland but even she said it was bland tasting even by Korma standards, some feat to make a Korma even more bland than it's supposed to be. Lamb samosa was also underwhelming, again with no spice or flavouring just ground lamb. Don't waste your money better off buying a ready meal curry from Tesco, you'll get more flavour. I certainly won't waste my money on a curry...

Another disappointing experience from a Leighton Buzzard curry house, and this time it cost £27 for what can only be described as Christmas Eve garbage.

I specifically asked for butter chicken, and the server smiled and nodded as if he understood. What I received was essentially a sweet chicken korma. Newsflash: butter chicken does not contain coconut milk! It was absolutely terrible and not even close to what I ordered.

The vegetable masala was a watery, flavorless mess.

The garlic rice was the only thing that was halfway decent.

No popadoms were included, which was disappointing given the price.

The keema naan had no meat whatsoever, which defeats the purpose of ordering keema naan. The cheese naan was just odd—definitely not the standard cheesy, gooey treat you’d expect.

This place would close down in any other town, but the locals here just don’t know any better. A total waste of money. Avoid if you have even a shred of expectation for decent...

Group of 5 of us went on a quiet BH Monday evening… it was a mystery as to why it was so quiet as the food was amazing… it has a 5 star hygiene rating, beautifully laid tables, and the two guys front of house couldn’t have been friendlier. They spiced up our Lamb Pasanda and the Chicken Tikka Masala to just the right level and the Mushroom and Paneer and Paneer in chilli sauce were good veggie alternatives… star of the show was Methi Lamb.. and the breads.. rice, okra and sag aloo all cooked perfectly… and we liked the end experience of hot towels and a complimentary chocolate … deducted just one star as would’ve been nice to have a candle or some music, but overall best, cleanest Indian restaurant in...
