The Red Fort Authentic Indian Cuisine in Woking

I can't comment on the eating-in option - this review is for the Red Fort takeaway. It.is.INCREDIBLE. The first time I ordered through Just-Eat (now switched to ordering direct from Red Fort as it's cheaper) was purely by chance. They were cheap so I went with them, with low expectations due to the price. Oh my god was I WRONG!! Every single dish was full of flavour, and beautifully cooked, from the perfect onion bahji to the soft sheek kebab. But the main point to note is the lamb they use. If you're of a certain age you will remember when EVERY Indian restaurant used those lovely chunks of lamb, instead of the miserable, cheap and nasty marbled strips half of them use today. Red Fort use CHUNKS of lamb, that are so soft they almost melt in your mouth. And ZERO gruesome white tubing either. Absolutely incredible quality of food for the price.Don't be fooled by how cheap Red Fort are - support a wonderful, top notch establishment that REALLY make the effort to get their food right.

Staff polite and welcoming as usual, wanted the lamb mirchi but unfortunately this was unavailable, waiter suggested an alternative that was as flavourful and good.Service was good, no hovering, and waiter was able to define the dishes to our US colleagues who were not as familiar with their style as we were.Time to prepare was not to long.All in all a favourite of mine and recommend their restaurant to all

Gorgeous authentic food that reminds me of my grandfather's cooking. The atmosphere inside is calm and inviting. Hygiene is of a high standard, which I'm sure anyone can appreciate now more than ever.

On a recent fortnight's visit to Woking, I returned many times to this wonderful, family-run restaurant.The friendly hosts were very welcoming, and ready to share their knowledge of the exquisite food on the menu. Every dish I had was delicious, and very satisfying.Make sure you pay this gem a visit! You won't be disappointed.I look forward to the next time.

Booked a table here for 8.30 today for a party of 6. Arrived 8.36. Upon arrival I heard a guy say 'oh its not them is it' then all of a sudden there was a leak on our table, even though the restaurant was full. We were then rudely told to wait 30 mins. I dine out daily and I've never had this type of horrific experience. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Do not get your hopes up for a night here as they may give your table away!! We were lucky the priory sorted us a table!! If not night ruined after hours of travelling!!

Recommend bring ya mates especially Tuesday and Wedensday sit in special. So I'm from Woking. I've eaten here so many times.Last 16 years I live in Thailand so I was so looking fore ward to a good curry when I got to England.I had to wait 2 years to be able to travel back to Woking. I'm so happy red Fort has survived the carnage of covid.Any how my sit in main meal was great very nice flavours and armours with excelent side dishes and all served in a good time. With attentive staff looking after me.. Super happy thank you red Fort.. C u again soon

Don’t, just don’t. I can’t ever remember having a worse meal anywhere in the world. Service was slow and appalling and how much had one of the staff had to drink?….totally disheveled and uncoordinated. As for the food, I had cat sick yellow coloured butter dish that tasted worse than a Homepride cooking sauce out of a jar. We will never return, as Gordon Ramsey would say… “what a shame”

Absolutely fantastic curry. I had the pathia. Sweet, sour and rich tomato based sauce. Meat was excellent quality. Friend had the lamb dhansak and was also incredible. Best curry I've had in while. Would give Camberley Tandoori a run for its money!!

Nice place in Woking Town centre. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed (Indian music plays in the background, but it's not overwhelming). The staff is very polite, and the food is good. The menu has a great variety of dishes, from starters to mains, and everything is quite filling! Maybe is a bit pricey (you're just in town centre), but overall is a nice restaurant. They also deliver at home.

I found it to be a very expensive takeaway experience - among the most expensive two curry, one rice and two bread takeaways I've bought - and, despite the above average taste quality of one of the dishes, I thought it was not good value for money.I was very disappointed to see that despite ordering the takeaway in the shop and collecting it, I was not given the 10% or 11% collection discount. If the discount is for online orders only, this needs to be stated prominently or at least an explanation given at the point of in-shop ordering. It's possible I've misunderstood something but it did seem I was charged restaurant eat-in prices for a self collected takeaway.For me, this is about respect for me as a customer. Simple service in this regard would have earned Red Fort a very loyal and regularly returning mid-week customer, whereas now I won't be returning.There was no complimentary poppadoms or chutney provided. That's fair enough. Just an observation.The food was above average in taste although the spicing of the bhuna lacked nuance and depth with far too much sweetness. The base sauce is clearly good quality but the dish specific layers of spicing on top of that are shallow.The vindaloo was good in terms of taste and a laser like concentration of warming heat. There was a lot of tomato in the taste but somehow it just - only just though - worked as one of the nicer Woking vindaloos I've tasted. The cubes of lamb were however too small and there wasn't enough meat. I was hungry at the end of meal which is a very unusual experience for me.Ultimately I think it's a shame that a restaurant that's able to produce a better than average quality of food, falls down on value for money. This is subjective and just my opinion.Maybe town centre restaurants have it too easy and don't have to try too hard for customers. Most people, or at least those who work hard for their money and for whom a mid-week takeaway is a hard earned treat, will probably want more value for money (and more food for the money) than is on offer here.
