"Late review – been trying to pick out the good bits! Booked a table on a Saturday night, previous good reviews and visits but this time (7th Aug 2021) . . . it was terrible. Two small onion bhajis came plain without a salad garnish or lemon and had to ask for raita which came in a small plastic takeaway carton (just enough for one really – there were 4 of us), then found the bhajis were rock hard and overdone. Taken away and replaced with “complimentary” vegetable pakora which were nice enough but they later tried to charge for them. The size and presentation of the naans and chapattis were impressive, however the Balti wasn’t a Balti neither was the Jalfrezi a Jalfrezi. Rice portions were small and Tarka Dhal was off the menu tonight. There is a good choice of reputable restaurants in West Cumbria and we will wait for consistently good reviews on Masala Corner before we return. 2 out of 10."

Very impressed with this little gem in a place where I wouldn't expect to find such authentic Pakistani/Indian cuisine that certainly is as good as (if not better) than the famous curry houses of Manchester. Thank you for such a wonderful meal and excellent service, will come back next time when we return to the Lakes! View menu

Upon arriving at our B&B in the Lake District for our holiday, we decided to order takeout from this restaurant. The food was average with good portion sizes, but the serving of rice was inadequate. The naan bread was deliciously soft and warm. However, the major issue was the long wait time. Despite being told our order would be ready in 20 minutes, we ended up waiting for over 35 minutes. After a long and exhausting drive from London, this delay was the last thing we needed and left us feeling disappointed.

We ordered lamb jalfrezi with a peshwari naan and chicken tikka balti with garlic naan at 5.30 on a Friday night. Despite being the busiest night of the week the food was ready in 45 minutes for collection as promised. The meals were delicious, with beautifully tender meat and tasty sauce, and we were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary poppadoms and pickles. I can honestly say we've never been let down by Masala Corner and look forward to everything getting back to normal so we can enjoy nights in the restaurant again!

This is my third time ordering delivery from this restaurant. The chicken pakora was mediocre, overcooked and dry, with no salad included. The chicken tikka Madras was okay, but not very saucy. The garlic chilli chicken was also okay, but different from other Indian takeaways. While I enjoyed what I had, I found the prices to be very expensive. Unfortunately, the chicken pakora was extremely dry and chewy, and both dishes and rice were greasy, which is not typical of other Indian takeaways. I would not order the chicken pakora again.

This is our 1st visit back after a good few months and I can honestly say so glad we did. We were shown to our table and ordered our drinks,then our poppadoms sauces which were lovely fresh Our main meals came out and what can I say the amount we got was awesome infact 2 of us had to fetch ours home with us we just couldn't manage it all. The naan breads chips rice was lovely too. We took my dad which was his 1st time and he is so fussy but he enjoyed it so much. Well done to all the staff they were lovely friendly. Keep up the good work and we will be back soon.

This place used to be really good, very disappointed after ordering from their tonight. We ordered a takeaway this evening, we were informed it would be 45 mins, an hour and a half later and we were still waiting. The chicken saag was bland, watery and tasteless it literaly had zero spice or flavour and looked disgusting. The chicken balti was incredibly dry and the spices tasted burnt. The curry's seemed as if they were reheated, goodness knows when they were made. Being pregnant i did not feel safe eating this food. The peshwari naan was disgusting very dry and burnt. Will be asking for a full refund and absolutely will not be visiting again.

"I would have loved to rate our dining experience at the Ivy House a lot higher but we were to leave somewhat disappointed. The dining area was pleasant and intimate with well appointed decor, the waitress and waiters pleasant, polite and attentive. The varied menu looked very appetising with most tastes catered for. We chose two courses from the main menu, the Duck Breast and a Fish Dish for myself. Contrary to other reviews we were to wait over 40 minutes before the food was presented to us. We were not advised of any delays or even the expected length of time we might have to wait. The food on arrival was well presented and flavoursome although I did not consider two small stem broccoli spears a serving. I also asked the waiter why there was no Samphire to accompany my dish as stated on the menu, this comment was also reinforced by a fellow diner who ate the same dish just prior to me. The waiter advised me that he would ask the chef. I did not receive a response to my question during further table service and subsequently asked the waiter again. On returning the waiter advised me the chef said “he will try to remember to put it on next time”, a somewhat disrespectful comment. The Cheese platter we were presented with was lacklustre and sparse, quince jelly and a small dish of chutney being the predominant feature. For ourselves we did not feel that our dining experience represented good value for money."
