A big plus is this restaurant also serves beer. I will say that based off of my experience it was the best Indian food I have ever had.

The staff welcome anyone into the restaurant as if you were a long lost relative who has finally come home. The food is traditional to most Indian Restaurants but the atmosphere is the reason to eat in rather than take out. The food takes a while to arrive but it is welcome as it only shows how fresh it is and also how popular the restaurant is. Its not a chain, its a family-run business who deserve every customer whom graces their restaurant looking to satisfy an empty stomach!

Northern England is home to some of the best South Asian food anywhere in the world, including the…read moreIndian subcontinent itself. Manchester is home to the iconic Curry Mile. In these competitive environs, Akbar's holds its own with its gigantic naans and its flavorful curries. The offal-based offerings, such as maghaz (sheep's brain) masala and chicken liver tikka, are my personal favorites. The maghaz has a creamy, buttery texture and loads of flavor. The perfectly chewy naan is a great accompaniment to both dishes. A steaming cup of the sweet and salty Kashmiri chai is a perfect way to finish a meal on a cold Manchester winter evening (I usually find myself in Northern England around Christmastime).

This is a fantastic place and I wish I'd known about it earlier! However, there are a couple of…read morecatches one needs to know about! For example, bookings in small numbers are not allowed, so if your party is less than 10 you would have to wait in the lounge. Moreover, you wouldn't be put in the queue for tables until all the people from your party have arrived! Once they have, you are given a device which will start flashing once your table is ready. For us it took just about 30 minutes (on a Thursday evening), so make sure you have no other plans this evening or come earlier. The place was full, we load to squeeze behind other guests backs - shows how popular the place is. Our waiter was very friendly and made us feel welcome immediately. Despite the venue being packed, food arrived quickly, and it was just delicious - couldn't find any faults! For those who feel adventurous, there are chef's challenges with spicy food (I heard you get s free dessert if you finish it- however , can't vouch for this). I have tried a tiny piece of this challenge from my friends plate, and almost cried from the amount of hot spices! Despite the wait, very enjoyable experience, and prices are more than friendly, which is very unusual for the city centre.

I'm very partial to a Curry and Lowton Tandoori does some great takeaways for collection. When in…read moreLowton, I've used this place to meet my Curry urges for a number of years now. Service is fast (expect a 15-20 min wait for food after ordering) and prices are good. I found the Chicken Rogan Rosh particularly tasty. Be aware there's double yellow lines outside the building, but you should be able to park in nearby Winton Road or in the Red Lion Car Park opposite.

Utterly awesome - recommend soaking up the sauce with a plan or garlic Nan bread, they go really well together. Wife #1 had Chicken Chat for starter (much tastier and more spicy that last time) and Chicken Bhuna which were also both awesome.

Firstly the staff at this family run restaurant are very friendly and helpful especially when you are in a quandary with what to order from the extensive menu. The Chef/owner will also taylor make a curry to your exact requirements. The curries taste fresh with decent portion sizes at a great value. Come along and check it out, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Simply Fantastic food…read more I ordered a medium Madras, as Madras made as normal blows my mind, but I still love the taste. The first fork full. fair play, perfectly as I wanted it.

Latest time said 1 hour, took 3 hours. 5 telephone calls to the place just got fobbed off with we are busy, or it's on it's way or we'll cll the delivery driver. food was apparently on it's way for 75 minutes. told them I'd reject the food if cold or just warm. FINALLY turned up, was warm ( still had to put in the oven for a while to reheat ). Probably won't use them again for delivery, plenty of as good / better ( and worse! ) Indian places in prescot / Rainhill / Whiston / St.Helens to use.

The Spice Inn is what is being review here and it is simple very good curry. Last year it won the award for best curry house in St Helens and unless there is a gem I do not know of, it must have won it easily. The food is well priced, about six to nine quid for a main course (excluding sundries). The curry is very good, and the service was charming when I went, it seemed emotionally important to the waitress that we did not have to wait on our ale. The drinks are taken care of by the attached pub. The Merlot was very good, the ales included Jennings and Black Sheep. Very nice indeed.
