The Gatley takeaway exists in partnership with it's sister restaurant - Gatley Tandoori - next door. Both places do have a great reputation and, while they supply reasonable, good quality food, my personal experience is that they are just a little bit average.
I think that the reputation stands from a number of years of being a *bit* better than those around - while, especially recently(ish), the target has moved with the opening of new places in Cheadle and others who are providing a more authentic menu rather than the anglicised selections that became popular in the 80's and 90's
I'm being a little bit scathing, perhaps, but it's just that I find many of the dishes lack any genuine variety. I have been quite a few times, though, so it's not bad - just not amazing.
Portion sizes for the takeaway are huge - those standard takeaway carriers being packed to the brim - and plenty of actual content, it's not all just sauce.
I find ordering from the 'exclusive dishes' section tends to yield the most interesting and tasty results - obviously that's just personal.
They have also messed up my order on a couple of occasions - so listen carefully when they (rather maniacally) shout what's in your bag.
So, worth a go - and still one of the better takeaways in Gatley - but given the various delivery options out there I would say try a few others and looks for the more specialist (e.g. south indian) takeaways and restaurants. read more
