"Had a brilliant meal here last night, when we arrived the restaurant was empty and the lights off, but as soon as we walked in the waiter turned them on and showed us in, drinks and starters brought promptly, as were drinks refilled (although you would expect that as we were the only ones in there at first), mains also brought out very quickly everything tasted beautiful and presented very nicely, thoroughly enjoyed the food and will definitely be paying another visit. Three starters, two mains, two chapatis, four soft drinks £23, not bad at all and some of the best food I've tasted! Afterwards we were browsing their shop/sweets counter and were given a free sweet each, also filled a small box of sweets and it only cost £3! Have recommended to all of my family already. The poor reviews on here recently annoy me if you're going to travel 60 miles just to visit a restaurant on a Sunday night, surely you would ring in advance to book a table/double check opening times, as its such a long journey? You can't give a one star review if you haven't sampled the food, what do you expect, for them to fire up the ovens and start cooking just for one table when no one has been in all night? And as for the samosa shape complaint really? What does it matter if they're not perfect triangles, they're hand and homemade, freshly cooked and taste fantastic, what more do you want? Processed **** from a supermarket? And the complaint about a dish being tomato based when it shouldn't be... Different regions of South India cook to different recipes!! Visit here, buy their ready meals, sample their food and if its a bad experience, every restaurant and chef is bound to have an off day occasionally, but he was right on score for us!!"

Definately the best vegetarian Resturant in the county and the most authentic indian cuisine available. Simple in decor, but the food just delicious.

The food at this restaurant is the most delicious you will ever taste. I am picky when it comes to food, but I absolutely love everything here. The staff is also very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

The restaurant is hard to locate. The food is decent, with some of the desserts being enjoyable because they are not overly sweet. Overall, if you are a fan of Indian vegetarian cuisine, it is worth giving a try.

The best Indian vegetarian food in Wellingborough (and possibly the county) by far. The service can sometimes take a while, and the decor is basic and unpretentious, but the quality of food more than makes up for this. This is not standard Indian fare aimed at Western tastes, it is wonderfully flavoured, authentic vegetarian dishes, and mostly you will find the restaurant filled with Indian families enjoying a night out so it can sometimes beabit noisy. I would encourage anyone to try this restautant whether you are vegetarian or not, the dhosas are amazing. View menu

This café may not excel in ambiance, scenery, or luxury. It is a simple seating area next to the dessert counter and is not upscale. However, if you enjoy authentic Indian cuisine, you will be impressed. The food is exceptional. Our must-try dishes are the chilli paneer and dosa. The menu offers a wide variety of choices and the service is excellent. It may be a bit difficult to locate, so make sure to have directions, especially on a rainy night like our first visit! Despite its unlikely location hidden in an alley behind a car wash, do not let this initial impression deter you. The food more than makes up for it!

Our recent visit to pooja with friends to introduce a nice vegetarian restaurant ended up me being embarassed. As we walked in i saw a notice on the door put by food authorities rating pooja as poor in hygienic and has to improve.The taste of the food has come down to what it was 2 years ago. The food tastes good only to a person who doesn 't know Indian food. Its like a one man show, the same person cooking/helping in the kitchen and serving. Most of the food we ordered was very disappointing except for batata puri. IF they are concentrating on catering, its best to close the restaurant. This will be my last visit and never going to recommend it. I really feel sad to tell this as it was the...

I have eaten here 7 or 8 times and the food really is superb, i am a veggie but lots of my friends and relatives are meat eaters and all reckon it is very good. Dishes you won't find in a regular indian and loads i had never tried before are included in the large menu.... That is the plus side, the down side is that the restaurant itself is very grubby, cold and unwelcoming has no atmosphere at all, the seat covers are all covered in dirty stains, the floor is tatty lino and the decor dreadful. It has become so bad, that i have had an offer to go dinner there soon and talked them in to going elsewhere.. The sad thing is, if they rolled up their sleeves and did the work themselves, it wouldn'... View menu

The restaurant is difficult to find it is at the side of a warehouse that dwarfs the restaurant. A better name sign would help. We travelled seven miles to reach it. The tables were set by someone who didn't know how to set a table definitely a left handed person as the cutlery was the wrong way round. Also, not enough of it, nor even glasses for water. The food is purely vegetarian and Asian. If you haven't tasted this kind of Asian food before it is a little strange. A lot of an Indian type of cheese that we weren't familiar with. The waiter, however, was unable to explain the dishes. Something that should be put right without delay. He was also, the only waiter for around 30 customers. Th...

There is nothing fancy about the location of Pooja. Though we live in the centre of the town, we discovered it by chance tucked behind a hand car wash, next to a run down warehouse and in the back of Pooja 's large catering business kitchens and counter/shop. Indeed we had been into the shop once earlier before we realised there was a dining area at the back.The food is extraordinary, all totally vegetarian, flavours sublime. We find it very agreeable despite being carnivores by habit and enjoy not feeling 'stuffed ' after eating (which can be so with a normal high street curry).The food is not the normal 'Indian/Anglo ' curry so some may not 'understand ' the food right straight out. It is...
