This is a gorgeous Indian Restaurant that seems to have been going through the doldrums recently…read more The food is beautiful. The decor is exceptional and the service is very very good. I am surprised the Restaurant has had no previous reviews. The main reason I have placed this review today, is that as from June 2011 the place is now called: SHALIMAR, with the same address and details. The place has been re-bornagainnow called PAVILION II There is adequate parking, a nice waiting area prior to taking your table and value for money (when it was The India Lounge) was very good. When I have tried the restaurant with its new owners, I will amend this review under the appropriate Shalimar heading.

The Shalimar is a lovely contemporary style restaurant. The menu choice is excellent and includes some different and unusual style dishes. The quality of food was superb and the service outstanding.

One of the better Indian Restaurants in Rochdale, and that is saying a lot in a town which seems to…read morehave more than its fair share of them. The restaurant is quite large and therefore rarely full. There is a small car park round the back, but you can usually manage to park on the local side roads without any difficulty. The menu is more extensive than usual, with some interesting spicy options on the menu. The staff are friendly, and the owner, dressed in a suit and chewing on something, often struts slowly around the restaurant asking you if everything is OK: which it almost invariably is. Well worth a visit.

Shahbaaz Curry Cottage has been a favourite of mine for a good few years now - being a minute away…read morefrom my parents house, it also doubles up as our local Indian takeaway. The restaurant is, as the name suggests, in a small cottage that has quite recently been extended to cater for the demand for a good curry house in the area. There must be no more than 15 tables in the entire place, which makes it nice and cosy - which I like. I have been here countless times, and each time I cannot fault the service. The waiters are friendly, and the same guys have worked there for years, so if you're local and go there frequently they remember your name - which is always nice. The food is authentic Indian food, with a varied choice of curries on the menu. One of their starters - Prawn on Puree - is my favourite and I often order this as larger portion for my main meal, which they are always more than happy to do for me. The prices are very reasonable here, and if you like them on Facebook they'll often post print-off vouchers on their page for customer discounts and freebies. They also run deals on certain nights, where you can get 3 courses and a beer for £15. Last week when I visited, the service was abnormally slow.. And something I haven't experienced before. Granted it was a busy Friday night but maybe they were a waiter down or something. The service is usually faultless - this must have been an off night but I wouldn't like to mark them down for it. I'll continue to go here, either with family or with friends - and if you're in the area it's definitely the best place for Indian food for a good few miles.

I like nice Indian meal,who doesn't? you don't? how dare you?!? get out now and read a spam review…read morefor a car wash... Where was I? Ah,yes Indian meals and my liking there of. The trouble is there are far too many of the traditional type restaurants. You know the ones,their menu is exactly the same as every other Indian restaurant within a 20 mile radius. Sadly Pavilion falls into this trap. A shame really as the place is nice,the seating lay out is fine (there were a lot of us) and the general ambience ia a-ok. But,and it's a big BUT,don't have a carbon copy menu of every other Indian food place!! Don't get me wrong there was nothing wrong with the food what so ever,I really enjoyed my meal,as did everyone else in our party and a really good evening was had,but please,PLEASE change up the menu every now and again.Go on,you know you want to... Just noticed that they are a Bangladeshi restaurant and not an Indian one..my bad!!

I've been here twice now with different sets of friends. All have been blown away, not only with…read morethe very high quality of the meal, but with everything else that makes it a night to remember. The decor is not your usual Indian but lovely lighting, comfortable seating etc. The staff are attentive and friendly. Your coats are removed and placed in a 'table number specific' staff area. The menu is different not only for the choice but also for the price. All prices are in whole numbers - no pence figures allowed ! The food is extremely good. This is definitely a high class Indian restaurant and as such is a little more expensive than the usual run of the mill. I would advise to book early because it gets very busy later in the evening. The only downside is the limited parking for that area but the place is well worth any extra walking from car to doorstep. Ian G. Bolton.

OH HOW I WAS WRONG , Ruposhi is a small single floored based Indian with a funky small bar / takeaway waiting area! In what is a converted old pub this airy Indian with brightly lit neon ceiling just fits into your Indian culinary jigsaw! Catering with a team of chefs drafted in from already gold existing Indians in the local Area to make a superstar team. These guys knock up some of the tastiest curries I've had in a long time. For the price don't be expecting the quality of Zouk or the atmosphere of Akbars! But nevertheless this Indian performs in top gear! Quick service that's professional with a smile! Only small issue with it is the temperature inside can be a little on the cold side depending on where you sit. Also they cater very well for Gluten free diets !

Travelling through. Went on Yelp recommendation…read more What a fantastic restaurant! The reviewer who said this feels like a city centre restaurant was absolutely right. Service was friendly and efficient, offering good recommendations. They were attentive, asking if we would like a break between courses. Our orders turned up promptly. The restaurant space is large and has managed to keep an intimate feel with the clever use of glass screens. We were able to enjoy a meal for two undisturbed by a family celebrating an 18th 20 ft away. The menu has everything you would expect of an Indian restaurant, and many new dishes we had not tried before. We took advantage of the Friday night meal deal, that covers 80% of the menu and was excellent value. This place is a gem, and we will definitely be going back.
