I went here following it winning Best Curry in the North Award a couple of years ago. It was…read moremajestic. It has a really unique feeling inside, it's not an old 'mile style' place but isn't as trendy as say Zouk. It also boasts a cool beer garden.....yeah a curry house beer garden! Like all the best curry places it does the staples excellently and offers a huge range of lesser known dishes. Unless you're driving it's a bit out of the way but it's perfect for groups and therefore justifies the trip if you book it for a birthday or something. When I went last it also had Cobra on draught....mmmmmm yum

An excellent place to eat authentic Indian food. I live local so eat here quite often, and each…read moretime we visit we always comment on how excellent the food was. The staff are always extremely friendly and always make sure you enjoy your food. I once got two free bottles of wine after I went to pick up my takeaway and had to be kept waiting for a little extra as it was very busy. The two bottles of wine came to the same price as the food that we ordered so we were very pleased. Basically, if you want authentic high quality Indian food then visit Indian Ocean, you will not be disappointed.

It's stylish, the service is excellent (at least our waiter was) it has a nice ambiance when your sat at sunset near its large conservatory area. It's food is nice and presented well. But it is Ind(Ian)ish !!?? This is food for gentle taste and few ingredients ... Like a beginners curry that you can take your 1st date to without worrying about 'it's too hot ... Too spicy ... Too "anything" Our table sampled dishes from sea bass with lime to keema and chicken to madras with keema rice and a Phall extra hot with a side of coriander chilli and ginger ... This extra plate of instant flavour was devoured by the curry lovers while the 'I prefer Chinese' people munched away at their potato and lamb or shashlik dishes without too much discomfort or dissatisfaction:-) So there you are ... Worth a visit .. Would go again .. But perhaps not for the 'curry addict ' as mentioned in menus of yore, more for 'the beginner' usually associated with the Korma in the good old menus of old ! Does anyone remember the great phrase "Related to the Madras from the early Portuguese settlers,but with greater use of spices, these are very hot curries!!! Ahh the good old bergundy and mahogany memories lol

Went on a Friday night in Summer. Walked in and first impressions were good: nice ambiance with…read moremood lighting. It was, however, very hot inside when we sat at our table. No air conditioning or open windows. It was mostly empty in the large open design, though it did pick up a little as the evening wore on. My guess: this place does most of its trade either through take-away, delivery, or in the late night, after the pubs close. The food was very nice, indeed. And as good as the food was, the service was equally poor. The waiters were completely indifferent, bordering on rude. They continuously walked the perimeter of the room, pretending to look busy, but never slowed, stopped, or inquired to how we were getting on or if we required anything. When the meal was delivered, the waiter could not properly identify one of the dishes (the Aloo Gobi). All in all, we thought it rather dear for what one received: the service was poor, but the food itself was very, very yummy. Were I to go back, it would be mid-week when there is two-for-one and I would order take-away. So, great food, poor dining experience.

It's just as good as everyone says! A really nice woman came over to advise us enthusiastically on…read morethe menu and we really enjoyed her recommendations of samosa chaat and 'the sizzler.' The flavours were gorgeous, the samosa's delicate spice perfectly balanced with yoghurt and the rich sweetness of the Manchurian (Indo-Chinese) dumplings and paneer in the sizzler was set off against some more punchy spice. The other ingredient in the sizzler is cassava which is quite heavy after a while and the dish is huge so it is recommended as a sharing starter and is enough for 3 or 4. Although we were basically full by that point we'd ordered some paneer toofani (with cashews) and a masala dosa, both of which were also really nice! I wouldn't hesitate to say this is worth the trip to Ashton, although as the Guardian review colourfully points out this is a cafe and therefore not a fancy date place unless your date only cares about the food being great in which case you are onto a good thing on both counts.

We used this place on the back of a recommend from a friend - a friend who is obviously not bothered about quality curry! Seriously steer away from this place - back to Raja's in stalybridge for us!
