The Amantola - Indian Restaurant, Bar & Delivery

How to start, I guess with the welcome...

Old school Indian restaurant styling with traditional meet and greet to set you up for the treats to come. In our case the all you can eat buffet...

There are two choices on the buffet, with bar included or food only. If you are on soft drinks then go for food only as non alcohol drinks are very reasonably priced, however if you are going to have a couple of drinks then it is worth investing the extra couple of quid and go Large 👍😉

There is a time limit on the free bar of two hors but not on the food. They do serve a particularly cheeky house Merlot here which I would recommend as a companion to the selection of Indian curries.

The food was very delicious and well prepared and presented with a large variety of both Chinese and Indian style foods to try.

There were couple of personal disappointments at the buffet, only a single choice of rice, only chicken curries and the hottest curry available was a chicken Jalfrazi.
Desert was also restricted to glazed ring donuts which upset the Grandkids but thankfully more choice was available from the main menu at an additional cost.

A really nice touch was the waitress letting us know our free bar was almost up and would we like to have one last round before the tab ended, oh go on then... 🤣

All in all a very enjoyable dining experience, even with the restrictions, we will definitely visit again but next time I will go a la carte and get some lamb Vindaloo in my life 😋

Absolutely fantastic!
We booked for my Dad's 60th birthday , 16 people in total , 5 kids aged from 16 to 2, and my disabled brother,
The food was fresh , curries were banging, can not fault anything!
A warm and friendly welcome
The food was so tasty and full of flavour, from the poppadom starters, to the other starters (as you do) to the main meals, full of meat and veg, piles of rice and sauce!
Honestly I'm a big eater and I came away full/ stuffed and well fed!
To service was fast and cooked fresh, the staff were so polite and well mannered,
And then to top my night off 50% off the food bill!

A fantastic night and we will definatly be making a return!

Staff so welcoming and kind. The food is outstanding by far best Indian I have ever had… tasted so fresh. Got looked after hand in hand an the manger is fantastic would definitely say to come here an taste the amazing food

Received a warm and friendly welcome.
Great food and great service. My young Grandson wanted a Nan bread that wasn't on the menu which they made for him.
We have takeaways on a regularbasis which are good value and good quality but eating in the food was even better.
Good sized car park and family friendly.

We have eaten here a good few times, ordered different curries and have never been disappointed. If we have asked for a variation of the curries it has always been done to our taste. The staff are all very polite attentative and genuinely interested in making sure you are well looked after and made to feel welcome.
The portions are generous and all of the food and was delivered hot with no long waiting in-between courses. Thank you.👍

Have been a few times here. The staff are really welcoming and nothing is too much for them.
I sometimes ask for modifications to my curry and they have always done it without problems.
The food is outstanding, it is served promptly too.
The decor is really authentic and creates the perfect atmosphere.
Their all in one banquets are brilliant value for money too. You can chose between Thia food or Indian. For the 2 hours the food and drinks are limitless. Brilliant 👍

From the moment you walk through the doors, everyone is so lovely and welcoming. You can't complain about the food at all, everything is absolutely gorgeous and cooked completely fresh!

Whenever a curry is in order, this is the place to go to. Thanks for your hospitality!

Came in on Sunday, family of 4.. 2 of us had buffet and 2 had off the menu.. food came out promptly and was cooked to perfection. There was a large selection to choose from on the buffet - had a bit of everything and was delicious food was also piping hot which I was pleased about. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.
