"(Now Cardamom Bay) Nipped in early Sunday evening to collect a takeaway. The place was empty, apart from staff. Collected a chicken rezala, pilau rice and plain naan. The rice was quite nice, the curry average, but ok. Bit greasy, but passable. Though for the cost of the takeaway £16, I expected something much better. Then we come to the naan if I can call it that. Usually light un colour, fluffy with just the right dark areas that are slightly crispy with a slight hint of sweetness. And usually teardrop shaped. This was none of these. It was circular, grey in colour and soggy and spongey. Yes, unbelivable, I felt I needed to wring it out it was so limp and water/oil laden. It looked totally unappealing and just tasted of nothing nice. I suspect that because they were so quiet and it was early, they hadn 't bothered to fire up the tandoor oven, as this 'naan ' had never been near one. Heaven only knows how they made it, but they managed to make something so simple and normally delicious turn out so bad I only eat a small part to see if it tasted as bad as it looked: and it did. The rest in the bin. I expected there might have been the odd table taken and people in and out for takeaways but it was quiet, poss because people won 't pay top dollar for sub standard food, made by amateurs. My visit was the first in quite a few years, since it used to be Lal Jomi. But I thought I would give it a try. Will be many many years before I return here if ever."

This is the fourth and final time we have ordered delivery from this restaurant. Each time, our order arrived more than 30 minutes late and with incorrect dishes.

We loved our meal here! The service was great and the food was really really good I had a Lamb Bhuna which was the best over ever had! The lamb was tender to the point it was falling apart and the sauce was beautifully balanced. Will definitely be coming back!

My family and I enjoyed a delicious takeaway tonight. The curry had great flavors and was reasonably priced. The owner was very friendly. The new owners are currently renovating the interior of the restaurant, which must be costing them a lot of money. They have faced challenges due to the pandemic, so I urge you to support them by ordering a tasty takeaway. It's a win-win situation! View menu

This was the first time we had eaten here .My husband made a reservation as a surprise for my birthday. We were greeted by the pleasant manager and seated in a booth. The food was delicious, We had poppadoms with relishes.P had an onion bhaji and I had king prawns. For our main dishes P had Naseeri Chicken and I had Salmon.. We had peshwari nann and rice which we shared. The portions were very generous and we took away what we couldn't eat and had it for our lunch today..

Always treated extremely well at Lal Jomi, staff are incredibly helpful and are very welcoming and pleasant. Food is REALLY top class, perfectly cooked with passion, the flavours are fantastic. Some of the atmosphere has been lost due to a interior style change, which is a shame as the atmosphere adds to the experience, though a member of staff mentioned they're are looking into improve this soon. Of all the restaurants I've eaten at, this is the most enjoyable, as great food and great staff REALLY make it special.
