Astolat Pub — Restaurant in Guildford

Visited this pub on a Saturday evening, the place is nice and serves the most of the drinks you would want. We went there bcoz of the Indian food, the restaurant is run by Nepali chef of ownership, I guess. Their menu is quite extensive, for starters we ordered, Chicken Tikka Fried Chilli, which was okay, and a tandori mixed grilled platter, which nothing was grilled but just platting meat pieces and chicken pieces cooked from a curry and put together.

For Mains, we ordered Mutton Rogan Gosh, Madras Chicken, Dal (lentil) with rice, Butter chicken and Naan, which was okay nothing wow but the Butter chicken, was nothing close to anything, just cooked in thick coconut paste, with cream. Rather call it Cream of Coconut Chicken.

Very disappointing, if you have eaten the authentic butter chicken. I don't recommend this at all.

PS. I would always click pictures of food I eat but I didn't even...

Went in here a few days ago. It does seem to have changed a little since my last visit several years ago. Mostly the furniture in the Astolat has changed.

I was with a friend and we ordered curry from an in-house takeaway service which I imagine is about sharing costs and facilities.

The place was fairly quiet and it's not central. I know historically they used to have quiz nights. I don't know what they now do in terms of entertainment, however there was football match on and several screens showing it so I guess that's at least part of what they do.

Overall I liked the experience, though am unlikely to frequent the pub, I would have no reason to object to...

Came for the curry evening with all of my family and loved it. It’s £12 for a curry, rice or naan and a drink (soft drink, wine or beer). Exceptional value for Guildford. The food was amazing with very generous portions, drinks were on point and service was friendly. Good atmosphere with several football matches being televised on the big screens. Clearly a favourite with the locals and the uni crowd which is great - everyone was happily mingling with each other. It’s great to see a local pub doing so well on a Tuesday night! Will...
