Best KPortal Reviews

Went on a Monday needing a good feed after a hard days walking in the Moors. Clearly very popular for a takeaway and the naan was absolutely outstanding. Think we probably ordered wrong, flavours a bit hit and miss with what we got. Very extensive menu. Would still recommend but probably ask the server for a recommendation on dish.
Nice local curry house, service isnt the best and forgot to bring us our drinks order at the start. Food was nice ???? This place is cash only meaning that if you have no money and the only cash point in Helmsley is down which is across the road you're buggered.
Delicious! Lots of variety and some dishes I’d never tried before. Lamb was perfect, melt in the mouth.
Huge kudos to them for being the only place serving food until late - a real saviour at the end of a long day.
As others have pointed out, they only take cash.
I’d also suggest that they get some jugs for tap water for the table - having to ask for a glass of tap water every few minutes felt a bit embarrassing (turns out I can’t handle my spice as well as I thought haha!). But otherwise great!
Overall, it is worth a visit, but there was a few not so good points for us.
We had to wait an hour to actually start eating. Starting from 10 minutes when they forgot to give us a menu.
Ordering food we were said that the recent Putin's business means their suppliers raised prices and lamb is sold at king prawn's values. The place is surrounded with the fields of lamb but ok. My husband used it as opportunity to choose king prawns, but I like the taste of lamb, so chose that. And judging how hard it was, it was born well before Putin. Don't order lamb.
Order more poppadoms, because they are served with a _lot of tasty sauce.
Except of the truly horrible Captain's Choice with lamb, the rest of the food was delicious. See the video I attached with sizzling plates!
The first waiter, who forgot to give us the menu, quietly moved. The other guy was very smiley and served us really well, so got good tip :) Great management.
We came in just before 7pm and got a table without booking. In 20minutes the restaurant was packed. I saw a few people waiting for takeaways, sitting on chairs in main hall among the eaters. They mentioned 15 people pre-booked this rather small place (by the way -mind the wooden beams!). Do book your table early. And, probably, look elsewhere if you are concerned about Covid.
Great guys, ordered the night before closing and popped over the road for a dink whilst waiting for my take away.
Turned up after their official closing time which was my fault and the restaurant and kitchen was closed which I knew was my fault not being there in time if I read the opening hours etc. correctly.
Made a phone call the following night and the establishment honoured my previous order considering it was was my mistake. Thank you
To confirm I had the rogan josh with a plain rice and it was fantastic, real lamb, not like the "mutten dressed as lamb" from other establishments visted previously.
Thank you, will be looking to dine in the restaurant in the future from the takeaway experience.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you

Great food. One of the best Indian restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining in. Great choice of food to satisfy everyone spicy pallet.Service was really good without being too imposing. All four of us had something different and all said how fresh the food was and how you could taste the spices rather than the usual overbearing of heat. Will definitely be back when next in the area.
Great service and lovely food. First time in a long time I have seated rather than takeaway.
Not their fault but not a fan of fan heaters
Ignore the olde worlde decor, and enjoy the food. The service is very gracious and helpful. The naan breads were freshly made and outstanding. The main courses were superb and very plentiful - go when you are hungry, or ask for a takeout of what you can't eat, which is what we did.
On the downside, it does take a while to prepare the food but, if that means it is freshly made, it is worth the wait.
