Magna Tandoori No 1 in Bedford

Magna has recently moved buildings and feels like new owners. I loved Magna in the past, but honestly can say that today was the worst Indian takeaway I've ever had. Chicken tikka was tasteless and soggy. The prshwari naan was plain. The onion bhaji was soggy. Everything has been binned. Really disappointed.

Very nice restaurant been going here since 1991 same owner and a good honest old school curry awaits you 😊

Place was tatty and food no where near as good as I had in Hove recently. Won't be returning.

Warmest of welcome is always on the menu,nice guys ,excellent food .very good portion size ,hard to beat this combination of food & service.how long they have been operating speaks for itself.

THIEVES THEVIES THEVIES. STAY AWAY. If I could give zero I would. Wanted to pay by card over the phone. The guy said the payment didn't go through and cancelled my order - checked my card and the money's gone. He's still saying he hasn't received it - even the bank told me they have defo got my money. So there we go - never again.

Great depth to the flavours. Beautiful freshly made naan. Very friendly service. Very attentive and prompt. Had a lamb madras and chicken madras - the restaurant adjusted the heat of the latter for my guest. Good range of drinks. Kingfisher and Cobra beer and spirits, liqueurs etc.Food served at table on heated metal plates. Gave us a free side dish (sag aloo). Little chocs at end. I always come here when staying in the area. Nice evening.

Food was ok, however portions were inconsistent. We ordered 3 main dishes however they were all different sizes. We also ordered a mixed grill starter for 2 and it arrived on on hotplate and was split in to 2 portions. Lamb was very tough. I was also somewhat surprised that the waiter thought a vegetarian dish was a chicken dish and couldn't tell the difference between garlic naan and plain naan!. The most disappointing aspect is the decor. On the outside I remember seeing a sign that this restaurant was established in 1981. On the inside it feels like it has not been updated since then! I don't think we will be visiting again.

The oldest established Indian restaurant in Bedford, est, 1981. Excellent food, tasty, well cooked and presented, no long wait for takeaways, generous portion sizes., Friendly, professional, courteous service and very very clean. I'd admit that perhaps it is not cutting edge in contemporary decor, but who cares when the overall experience and feeling is this good. There are a good number of Indian restaurants in this area, some of their chefs did their training at Magna. Magna also sponsor local youth sport and raise funds for environmental projects in the more deprived areas of the sub-continent, so an impressive wider community involvement here. Excellent restaurant, excellent staff, excellent food,, excellent experience. Very highly recommended. In this game, to last this long says it all! * * * * *

The staff are great, very friendly and generous (free beer whilst waiting for my takeaway) and they threw in a couple of extra small dishes for free, so my hopes were high. Unfornantely, the curry just isn't that good. Really greasy and overcooked. It's a shame as the staff are really nice.

Very good place. The staff are superb, very kind when explaining the dishes and offers available. The service is good and the food was good quality. It's also a plus that they open until late, we went for dinner at 10pm and there was no problem
