Quick info
About poppadom
Serving Indian food for collection on Saint Wilfrid's Rd, poppadom is a takeaway in Doncaster that works on a walk-in basis, with orders also taken over the phone or through the Just Eat app. The kitchen covers the familiar curry house range, with chicken korma a recurring order, made sweet with a thick sauce. Onion bhaji and prawn puree appear among the starters, and peshwari naan, poppadoms and rice come alongside the mains, which run through both lamb and chicken. The counter is busy, and a wait is common at peak times. It opens daily in the evenings only.

Customer Review Summary
The curry carries this takeaway's reputation, with repeat customers describing food that arrives hot and full of flavour, and one longtime regular calling it the best curry around from the poppadoms through to the rice. The chicken korma draws the most attention, praised by one diner for a thick sauce that doesn't split, though another found it so sweet it was inedible and tasted of nothing but sugar. Beyond that, reviewers single out tender lamb, a well received onion bhaji and a peshwari cooked without burning. Delivery timing is the recurring trade off: several note the shop gets very busy, and one order quoted at seventy minutes took two hours despite repeated calls, arriving after the diners had lost interest in eating. The same reviewer still found the food piping hot and the chicken good quality, if very saucy. One customer recounts accidentally overpaying a delivery driver, who pointed it out and handed the money straight back.

“I was at my friend’s house when we ordered food, and I accidentally gave the delivery driver an extra £20. He immediately pointed it out and returned it, which I really appreciate his honesty genuinely stood out. I didn’t manage to catch …”
