The Boatman’s Bar & Grill offers a dining experience typical of an Indian bar and grill, but it's the food that truly sets it apart. This restaurant/pub might have familiar decor, but don't let that fool you. What they serve is anything but ordinary.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the curries. Often, grill places can fall short in this area, focusing too much on the grilled items at the expense of other dishes. Not here. The curries at The Boatman’s are exceptional bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly balanced with spice, salt, and utterly delicious. Each dish showcases the chef's skill and dedication to authenticity.
The service matched the quality of the food. Our server, a young girl, was incredibly polite and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. Her friendliness added to the overall positive experience
The decor is what you might expect from an Indian bar and grill, it’s comfortable and welcoming. The parking facilities are also quite good, making it convenient for guests.
In conclusion, The Boatman’s Bar & Grill is a place I’ll definitely be returning to. The outstanding curries and service make it a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy delicious, authentic Indian cuisine in a...
Read moreOrdered takeout via uber eats from here.
Food was cooked quick, and delivered very quick too. Madras sauce on point. Paneer masala abit underwhelming, thought it would be red like most places, but the paneer was in small chunks, tasted good though
Breads were half decent, just not as packed inside with stuffing (like the keema and cheese) as normal indian takeouts.
Mix grill was alright. The flavours were there but was missing the mint sauce, chilli sauce and salad. This was quite crucial because the chicken tikka tasted good but was very, very dry. The sauce would have helped. I also thought that it would have came with grilled onions like a sizzling mix grill does, but none (id put them seperate if you do it in future) Lamb was very good and the prawns
Ordered x2 lots of popadoms and 3 sauces for £2.80 each £5.60 total. Should have came with 6 sauces but instead came with 3. We had 1 small yogurt mint for 4 popadoms, 1 large mixed grill and 2 mains (1 main being a sauce) very dissapointed.
All in id give it a go again. It is very much desi pub and not indian...
Read moreAuthentic, fresh and reasonably priced-my new favourite local.
Pleasantly surprised, what a gem! Easily the most authentic, yet reasonably priced restaurant in the area. I have eaten here several times and it’s always fresh. The staff are friendly and happy to recommend based on what you fancy. There are two big rooms, and clean modern toilets.
I personally enjoyed amritsari chole and fish pakoras. The biryanis, lamb and chicken curries are also fantastic, and the rice dish comes with additional sauce.
I particularly enjoyed their vegetarian Bhindi Dopiaza and Daal Makhani. The Chicken and Lamb dishes are fantastic also. I also enjoyed the roti and tandoori, both cooked...
