Baranda Restaurant Reviews

JAMES Bates 2026.10.14

     

Food tends to feel fairly nice when it comes. However, waiting for way over an hour and a half for a takeaway is ridiculous. The food was on its way for 20 minutes before I called. Got told it will be another 10 to 15 minutes... I live 10 minutes away! Just to add it was longer than the further 15 minutes too

Hi James, we’re sorry for the excessive wait and the frustration caused by the delay with your takeaway. Waiting over an hour and a half, especially when you live just 10 minutes away, is completely disappointing, and we understand your concerns. We appreciate your positive comments about the food, but we recognise that our delivery time and communication fell short of the standard you deserve. We’ll take your feedback seriously and work with our team to improve. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with a much better experience.

We had a table of 9 and it was busy but there was only 3 floor staff with over 50 people sat at tables,, we had too wait over 1 1/2hours for main meal that didn’t arrive and in that time the table was never cleared of bottles and plates, so we left paid what we had ,, never had an apology about the wait ,,very poor

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, Glyn. Waiting over 1½ hours without receiving your main meal, along with the table not being cleared and the lack of communication, is not the standard we aim for. We take your feedback seriously and will review this with our team to improve our service. We sincerely apologise and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide a much better experience.

Ordered a takeaway, food came, was okay but most of it was cold and soggy, the garlic naan bread was cold and wet, my rice was cold, onion bajis were extremely greasy and just tasted of pure oil, chicken korma was nice but the chicken itself was extremely dry even with loads of sauce.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that much of your order arrived cold and didn’t meet expectations.

Issues with temperature, soggy naan, greasy onion bhajis, and dry chicken are not the standard we aim for. We’re pleased you enjoyed the korma sauce, but we understand the overall experience was disappointing. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

We've been coming here regularly and for a number of years, always from out of town and always to meet up with good friends who are Baranda old hands. As a group, we tend to munch our way through a heap of poppadoms, washed down with our beverage of choice (always a particular Indian lager for me; the brewery owner and I go back a good number of years - albeit somewhat tenuously!) as we catch up - and forget to look at the menu. No matter, most of us tend always to go back to our own favourites. I can only really vouch for what I choose, which is always vegetarian (not that I am) and usually a side dish (actually make that more than one side dish) and most often involves bindi, paneer, dahl, spinach and/or aubergines, with some kind of roti. All freshly cooked, authentic and reliably tasty.
