  “The best Indian restaurant outside of Manchester. Staff always attentive and quick to serve what you ask for. Have been going for years owner very approachable and always stops at your table for a chat and a catch up. The restaurant has won numerous awards over the years. All of which were well deserved. Great menu with staple dishes as well as chef specials We try to get there at least once a month. We always go after a holiday to finish the experience off. This includes after many times in Goa where we ate curry every day for 2 weeks.”

  “I have ordered from the pavilion many times as well as eating in the restaurant in person. The last couple of times I have ordered little things have started going wrong but I let them slip, the wrong naan bread being sent out for example. This time some of the food was plain bad, the chips looked and tasted like yesterday’s and the scampi was cold and also missing its salad which it is stated as coming with on the website. When I phoned up to complain the person I spoke to was confrontational they told me that it doesn’t come with salad and that I was in fact wrong, they were adamant about it which I have to say really annoyed me. As you can see from the pictures I have included from both their own website and my receipt I did indeed order the fried scampi which is stated as coming with chips and salad. The manner in which my complaint was dealt with left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Eventually after speaking to more than 4 people I was offered a replacement scampi and chips but I declined the offer. Reading some of the other negative reviews here I feel justified in not feeling alone that this restaurant seems to have gone downhill recently We used to order fairly often from this restaurant and have enjoyed going in person on more than a few occasions but I do not think that I will bother again, I am going to put my money where my mouth is and take my business elsewhere. Establishment’s like this live and die upon their reputation. I have, in fact, recommended your restaurant to friends and family in the past which I will no longer be doing either. I hope that you take note of this review and up your standards when it comes to dealing with customers in the future.”

  “Ordered from The Pavilion through JustEat on Tuesday night, first time trying as we have wanted to try the curries for ages. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala curry, and found a bone in a piece of chicken and almost choked (not a small bone either). I raised this issue with Just Eat who informed me that the restaurant refused to offer me a refund and were ‘confident this was not an item from their restaurant’ which of course they will say lol. Because I apparently just go around collecting bones to plant in my meals 🙄 absolute joke. Also ordered a Madras curry which was like water consistency and tasted like it had been watered down, there was no flavour. Won’t be eating here again, I’d recommend Taslima - 10/10”

  “I gave a glowing review about this restaurant a year ago, but my how things have changed. We went for Valentines Day. It is immediately obvious that they are doing a roaring trade in takeaways, unfortunately it comes at the expense of table service. After the initial poppadoms and dips we were left waiting for 15mins until someone came to take our order and that only because I had to call someone over. Then we had to wait over 35mins for the food to arrive, my partner was going to leave. Meanwhile takeaway orders were leaving the kitchen very promptly. There was no attention from the wait on staff other than to provide drinks, we got the impression they were trying not to make eye contact. Some items were missing from the order and had to be brought later with one item never arriving. We were not asked if we had enjoyed our meal and did not receive warm hand towels or orange slices which was a nice touch last time. The only redeeming feature was that the food we did have was very good, such a shame about the service which tarnished what should have been a lovely night out. Needless to say we will not be going back. 😃”

  “First used this restaurant over 30 years ago. Now living in Hampshire, visiting family in Bolton and the Pavilion seemed a good choice for our evening meal. We booked in advance and were quickly shown to a table. The service was good with staff being attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and well presented. Glad we came. We will be back on our next visit.”

  “Situated opposite Asda in Astley Bridge, a large restaurant that can seat large groups. Mainly traditional dishes with only a couple labled with paneer or vegetables most dishes are made with meat and a small section with fish. Maybe they'll substitute other meat dishes for paneer but I would prefer them to state this on the menu. Everything is served in traditional bowls. Lovely friendly staff. When we went, on a Tuesday evening, it was very quiet so it lacked atmosphere, but I'm pretty sure it would be better on a busy Friday/Saturday evening. All the food was good but I've eaten better at other restaurants in the area.”

  “It is the second week in a row I’ve been in the area and there was no doubt I would return here after my first visit last week. I’m a curry fan… the spicier the better! This place was just a whole other experience to the other places I have ate locally. The staff are fantastic and make you feel welcome, they are exceptional. The food is amazing, even for a guy who loves spice (they accommodate!). All I can say is thank you and see you again soon! ধন্যবাদ”
