Barinda Restaurant and Takeaway in Stockport

Absolutely shocking service! The more I think about this the more I wish I’d just got up and walked out! I’ve never done that before but it would have been justified here.We had to wait nearly an hour just for drinks, we asked three times and they suggested there was an issue,(when we asked the third time) but no alternatives offered. We tried to wait for all our starters to come but gave up and literally everyone had finished when the last persons actually came out. It was close to two hours before food was on the table and when we raised the poor service at the end they argued it was good, maybe slow but we are nice people. They gave us £2 per head off the bill. Maybe nice people but over 3hours in a curry house with two pints isn’t what I was after to start my Saturday night, it ended it as well!Just shocking how bad it can be when they don’t even realise it.How are they still in business with so many other good places around them?

It's been 10 years since I last ordered a takeaway from the Barinda. The last time the chef forgot to put any curry powder in the Madras. It had a definite Italian twist with a simple tomato base. To be fair, they replaced the dish and came back home to each mine alone after the rest of the family had finished.Felt brave enough to give it another go. Ordered a takeaway for specified time, and then collected it 10 minutes early. Some of the dished were lukewarm, it seems had been prepared ASAP and had been cooling off since.Must do better.

It was very nice, but most in group said food was spicier than expected. However, don't let this put you off.

Great food eventually, service very slow.

Back to its best, I like it hot so their application of spices hits the spot

Beautiful food, beautiful place and beautiful people!

Great food and wonderful service. Very pleasant and hardworking staff.

Aww we had a lovely family and friends get together here tonight to say farewell to a lovely Man who lost his life recently. The staff were so polite and courteous and the food was amazing. Thanks Barinda for your support to our own little send off ❤

This place never fails to 'dish up' the goods!We are usually drawn to the lamb chops and chicken chat as starters but every meal I've tried has been excellent. Portions are generous and quality is consistent. A monthly visit is highly recommended. The staff welcome everyone and the place is a real gem.

The food is always good quality, it seems to have become a little bit more expensive than our last visit. £15 a Tandoori Mixed grill, mains around £13 with rice extra. The staff were helpful and attentive and alcohol prices reasonable for a restaurant. Top marks for getting the No Fresh Coriander right and for pointing out that one of the relishes had coriander leaves in it.
