Without sounding like a broken record, I do agree with many of the points made by Nick S. While I am aware that Indian Food is generally a more expensive meal, the Indian Ocean is rather pricey! You will get a tasty meal here, but it'll cost ya! I can also agree with the slightly awkward feeling in the restaurant, the staff are very polite and I can't fault them for attentiveness, but I do sometimes get that uncomfortable feeling that they would rather we would hurry up and finish our meals so they could clear our table. A favourite for me, is to give them a call on a Friday afternoon before I leave work to place my order, which is then ready for me to collect on my way home - Friday night in, sorted!

The food here remains top notch and the portions generous. I phoned the order in which is unusual for me; I usually just turn up but it saved me waiting 25 minutes. Has they still been on Monaghan St and Maya cafe was open I'd have gone there for a great cappuccino. This time we got the meal deal 3 at £24 but it was topped up by £2 due to my order choices (no fish just chicken based mains) but I've give. Up arguing over price hikes. I suppose I was inclined to do a review here having just recently experienced a truly dreadful Bangladeshi restaurant in Letterkenny. The latter deserves promptly closed down with the former deserving of support in this most challenging of times.

Last night we finally dined at the newly opened Mama Masala Glengormley . My 5 year old daughter,…read morewife and I dined and we were missing my 9 year old, who was at a friends party but gave us strict instructions to bring her back a pepperoni pizza!! I've dined in the original Mama Masala Londonderry (owned by the same owners) and really enjoyed it so was looking forward to tasting the food! I've been following the journey of this new restaurant avidly (Metamorphosis ) and have written about the Story. Whilst we looked at the extensive Indian and Italian menu we nibbled on fresh, crisp poppadoms served with three sweet dips/chutneys. The menu was a very well thought out and well designed one and there were plenty of dishes to choose from!! We chose Vegetable samosa and garlic prawns to start and my little one wanted her chicken nuggets and chips!! My wife also had a mojito which she said was delicious. The presentation of both the prawns and samosas was very elegant and appetising. The 2 large king prawns were served butterflied, with tails on and in a rich, garlic sauce and were amazing. The three filo samosas looked a bit oily and when we cut into them discovered they had meat in them. We flagged this up and the staff were very apologetic and the proprietor Gagan personally served us fluffy perfect Punjabi vegetable samosas. These were exactly like one gets in Punjab itself and delicious suffice to say!! The portion size and taste of the nuggets and chips was excellent. For main course my wife opted for the chicken penne and I the rara gosht with Mama Masala Nan. When these were served it was quite literally a "wow" moment. The pasta was served in a large dish, the lamb in a deep oval dish and there was plenty in each. What really struck us was the authenticity, the very generous quality meat content (chicken breast, lots of tender chunks of lamb interspersed with minced lamb or keema) and the flavours!!! The pasta was in a creamy, yet not too heavy sauce with a nice touch of sun dried tomatoes and basil. The rara gosht is certainly one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had, even my wife loved it and she's not a big lamb eater. The nan was soft, full of flavour (Chillies and coriander) and was ideal with the lamb and pasta!! The dish was full of flavour and spice and not oily or sweet or artificially coloured. This was the real McCoy!! Our waiter remembered that we had ordered a pepperoni pizza to take and he duly presented it to us as we were leaving. The venue was superb, the staff were tremendous and the food was exceptional. I can now say that this will be a firm favourite of ours and is highly commended!!

After an hour and a half, I then received a call from the restaurant claiming the driver had come to my address and no one answered the door. This is a complete lie.

Now I'm left having to waste even more of my time dealing with an online app to get a refund that will apparently take up to a week. Dishonest, disorganised and utterly incompetent. Worst takeaway service I've ever experienced. Avoid.

Kinara is really great and with top staff to match it's a great dining experience! We popped in one evening and ordered our usual amount of food that would feed five people.

The rest of the food, the Onion Bhajis, Saag Aloo, Bombay aloo and naan bread were all as good as I've ever had. They also let you bring your own if you want which brings the bill price down which is great. Can't recommend this place enough!

One of our party has special dietary requirements and they couldn't do enough to help us and make sure our needs were catered to.

There was a very select few to choose from but the winner hands down was Tale Of Spice in Dundonald!! It won hands down on a number of scores. First it has ample free car parking. Second it is owned and run by a fantastic all Indian team from kitchen (Chef Gautam) to Front of House (Abhishek and Sunil). Third the food is as authentic as if one was sitting and eating it in any Northern Indian restaurant. The decour is modern contemporary with a subtle Indian touch. The staff are very helpful and knowledgable and chef himself a real expert. I asked him to make three dishes (two chicken and one lamb). He duly obliged but not before we tucked into fresh crispy popadoms with tasty dips-so many restaurants fall foul of serving oily soggy popadoms- a real turn off! Our three mains came out with two pilau rice, a nan and garlic nan. The butter chicken was creamy and tomatoey with no artificial colouring-and not overtly sweet. The Karahi gosht was divine with the lamb being tender, juicy and succulent. The chicken tikka saag was excellent-all three dishes garnished well with ginger juliennes and parsley and coriander.....just like one gets in Punjab. Alas the portions beat us quantity wise. This really is as authentic North Indian as you will get. A must visit place.

But forget about the interior, this review is really for the takeaway I picked up this evening. This part of North Down is littered with takeaways but Passage to India always seems to be busy. When you call there's always a 30 minute wait but that's a good thing. This evening we actually waited over that but it was worth it. We ordered a meal for four and it came to £24ish pounds. This was including a 2 x Naans and 2 x Sides along with 3 main dishes. The quality of the food is second to none. Our chicken Patia came with huge chunks of chicken breast and was easily enough to feed 2 people. The Naans were extremely tasty and fresh as they were still warm! I really enjoyed Passage To India this evening - I would suggest they update the decor in their restaurant and they might get a few more bookings but keep the food exactly the same!
