The problem with The Light is of course its situation. Now that the Fulwood Arms has opened nearby, things aren't quite as remote as they once were along this stretch of road between Garston and Lark Lane so is is possibel to enjoy a curry some beers and entertainment next door and not feel like you are making a bit of a voyage. It would be worth it though as The Light's menu is offers a good array of authentic Indian dishes at very good prices and the staff are top blokes. Worth the trek.

You see…read moreif you have grown up on some of the most mind bogglingly delicious asian cuisine for most of your life, dining at these Indian pretender restaurants serving mediocre dishes may pass for good to the unsuspecting curry eater but not ME!! Light of Bengal is good, for most but for my money pretty average. Then again as I said it takes a hell of a lot to impress me. In fact there are a handful of restaaurants of the Indian kind I would actually recommend "highly" Mumtaz in Leeds is exceptional, the EastzEast installments in Manchester are bearable and there are others but Light of Bengal didn't really light my fire I'm afraid to say. No doubt this willl not and should not deter the rest of you going in for some "curry"

The delivery is fast and efficient and is only £1.50 for orders over ten pounds which cannot really be grumbled at. You can order over the phone where the staff are very pleasant or even go for the ultimate lazy option and avoid human contact all together by ordering on Just eat. Either way you can rest assured that you are going to be provided with a great quality meal straight to your front door. This is the kind of place which is the perfect accompaniment to a Saturday night infront of the television where you want to sit down relax and get a good munch on. I'd particularly suggest a King Prawn tandoori for less than seven quid but whatever you fancy if you like Indian then you will appreciate the good quality food which is served up by Saffron. I have found in the past that takeaway Indians dont measure up to actually going out to eat for a curry but once again Saffron breaks the mold and is every bit as special as getting your gladrags on and going out to eat.

Saffron, I am indeed a fan. My friends ordered a set meal for 2; you get loads for your £16,…read morepoppadoms, dips, naan, and the meals! I chose the chicken tikka masala and corriander naan. It was beautiful. I've not had curry in ages and it was exactly what I needed. Fast service, friendly staff, cheap and above all, perfectly spiced with tender pieces of chicken in plenty of sauce... my only gripe is that I wanted more when I'd finished! They do meal deal of the week too, so make sure you ask! You get the curry of the week with pilau rice and naan for £4.95. You can't beat that price when it's such good quality. Perfect for loafing infront of the telly with a good film. (+£1.50 to deliver). You won't be disappointed with Saffron. My hat is tipped to you sirs!

That is the reason why its deliveries are quick and their prices are very reasonable. I ordered from there after reading other online reviews. It is a brand new Indian Takeaway so has very few reviews but all of them repeatedly compliment the service and the food. I have to say I completely agree. The service was excellent, the staff really friendly and the food was flawless. Not a single area of disappointment. Now it just remains to be seen whether they can maintain it as their popularity increases. I will definately be making this my regular in Liverpool.

Inside, the decor is weirdly dated. It really does feel like stepping back into the seventies, especially as trendier and glossier eateries continue to open up along Smithdown, enticing the students in without a second thought. The staff here are friendly but the curry was less than satisfying and I just felt strangely depressed for having shown up. I'm really sorry Royal Tandoori. Please stop looking at me with those puppy dog eyes.

Whilst…read moreit's most certainly not a glamorous establishment, this restaurant provides great value, tasty curries in the heart of the city's student district. Located on Smithdown Road, the Royal is the best place to go to line your stomach before a night on the tiles. The chicken tikka masala is superb and they offer a good selection of drinks to wash it all down with. My only criticism would be that the staff sometimes appear a little surly. However, the fact that they have to put up with a load of drunk and noisy students may have something to do with it! The best indian restaurant in Liverpool...perhaps! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Khans is in essence an Indian cafe which turns its hand to all sorts and this in keeping with the…read moretraditions of most places along the Smithdown road. Khans' serves up all kinds of foods from Curry to the kind of fry up you would expect to see in a greasy spoon cafe. So one thing you can say about here is that it is unique and thus manages to stand out from the menagerie of eateries which clog up this student hub. Khans is not only varied in what it serves but it is consistent in the quality of it too I have eaten a range of things from the menu and have always been impressed by what I have been given. As well as this Khans is a nice place to eat in the decor is nice and you always feel comfortable, I can safely say I have never been to anywhere quite like Khans and this means I will always remember it and always return.

We're creatures of habit, and I'm no exception... I usually order Indian from the same few…read moretakeaways in Liverpool but I noticed that Liverpool is absolutely saturated with Indian takeaways so I thought I'd branch out and try a few different ones. I've ordered from Khan's twice, the second time I ordered because the first time was pretty exceptional. My order was delivered before the expected 45 minutes and the food was great. Unfortunately the second time wasn't such a great experience. It was a Saturday night so I expected it to be busy, I was told it would be an hour which is reasonable for a weekend. I sat waiting for my order, an hour came and went, so an hour and a half after ordering, I called up to check where it was, and they sat it was about to go out with the driver. I sat and waited again, thinking that it would be worth the wait - by this time my tummy was rumbling and I was getting grumpy. An hour later the driver appeared on my door, he was greeted by an almost vicious Jemma demanding an explanation, and all I got was "It's a Saturday night, what do you expect?" I ignored his comment and ran inside to devour the yummy food I'd been waiting for. This time the curries were watery and greasy... I was not happy. At this point my dogs were salivating, so I gave up on the dodgy curry and fed them a bit of rice, even they had a suspicious look when eating it. I was so disappointed after a promising first meal. From now on I'll stick to my regulars!

Kitchen has all your usual meals on the menu including Balti, Tandoori Grills and Madras. The food is absolutely delicious for a take out, with nothing tasting of grease as I have unfortunately experienced in the past. My absolute favourite dish is the chicken tikka balti with pilau rice. In terms of the actual shop, I love its layout as it's all open plan and as implied by the name - you can openly see the kitchen and all the goings on. Everything always looks spotless and I made sure to check if the staff washed their hands - which they did. I suggest phoning to order before a pick up as they do take around 20-25 minutes, which is purely because everything is cooked fresh to order. If you do decide to order in-store, they have two sofas, a tv and a variety of mags/newspapers to entertain you. Delivery is also offered. Definitely a 5 star establishment.

Early on in my time in Liverpool I had a great experience here I ordered a beautiful Lamb Rogan josh and was not let down by what was served up as it was done to perfection. Not long after this things seem to have gone downhill and those high standards have not been achieved since in my eyes. The staff inside seem a bit disinterested to be perfectly honest and I'm not really sure what has changed. There are plenty of places to choose from in the Smithdown area and this place is not really doing anything to break out from the rest of the pack. Maybe it's just pot luck here and if you place an order you will find it pleasant enough but for me personally there standards have slipped.
