    It was a welcoming atmosphere and staff were very friendly Food was overall nice and portions were good Service was patchy not having the same person to the table so the orders got forgotten The fish dish which I have had many times before was not the same and had too much of the curry which did not have the authentic taste / flavour - something to look into to retain known customers

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    That was absolutely the best Indian food I have ever had. The restaurant has a great atmosphere (and fabulous decor!). The service was impeccable, and we will definitely be going back. Another diner told me they go there as often as possible. Just try the Beef Boli - your tastebuds will thank you!

    Not as good as their Leicester one. Very off fish curry with fatty, gelatinous fish. Service so-so, not very attentive. The Leicester team needs to spend some time there to sort.

    We really enjoyed our food although we were not happy re fat lumps in the pork ‘cubes’ starter dish. We were offered another dish FOC to apologise.

    Excellent food! The South-Indian style of cooking was a lovely change from the usual Indian menu. And good value for money. Congratulations! Just one disappointment, however. We all found it difficult to hear the conversations across our table owing to the adjacent tables (one of about 12 and the other a table of four) being rather loud. Maybe some sound absorbing foam blocks on the ceiling - or any other sound-absorbing decor would help. I would be surprised if this is the first review to mention this issue. If it is, then I will just put it down to those tables being high spirited at the end of the day’s ‘Nottingham’ Pride celebrations. I’d be interested in your feedback and opinion. Keep up the great work in the kitchen!

    Restaurant was in need of a refresh. Decor was delapidated. Staff, whilst pleasant were asking if you were ready for your main when you hadn't finished your starter. Food was ok but not the best. When paying for the bill a rack of spices were put on the table and we were asked if we wanted to buy! Also there was a man introducing himself to us as the resident magician and did we want to see some magic. I have never seen this option at an Indian restaurant before and whilst I'm sure he might have been good at his job, I don't think it fitted at all with what was supposed to be the "atmosphere"

    We had been to the Kayal on previous occasions, were local that evening and thought we would return. Excellent service in a busy restaurant, didn’t feel rushed. Had the Tali dishes which were just as good as we remembered them. Everything including the wine was very good value for money. We won’t be waiting as long to return I am sure!

    Staff attentive and friendly We had lemon rice which didn't taste of lemon despite the description on the menu. A pancake filled with potatoes was not at all well seasoned and the dal was dull and tasteless. The chutneys were lacking in flavour too with the starter. The kulfi was not sweet and it didn't taste of pistachio. I may have chosen the wrong thing but unfortunately it left we disappointed. Made me feel id lost my taste buds.

    Beautiful food and lovely waiting staff. My only comment is that I put on the notes when booking that my dad had a nut allergy. This wasn’t checked when we arrived and we ordered a portion of rice which didn’t mention nuts on the menu but when it arrived, after asking if there were nuts in anything, the waiter said there was in the rice. Happily replaced the portion but would have been great to check on the nut allergy before we ordered. Food was delicious and will definitely eat here again! Will just mention the allergy again from the outset next time

    Maybe review your vegetarian options - a limited choice and not appealing, whilst the table enjoyed theirs my veggie option was OK.
