Purple Pakora - Marple Bridge

Food was of a good standard but the service was poor - just a few people waiting on tables - and it took ages to first get drinks, then order food and finally get the bill. They seemed understaffed for a Saturday night.

Excellent food and service. The chutney tray is the best I have ever had. Great selection of mains and the biggest naan around. Overall a great restaurant.

Really nice curry and lovely restaurant highly recommend. They do special currys such as caramel and korma which I've never seen anywhere else and both are lovely

we went with friends and all want to return. The staff and service were excellent. The Banquet options were fantastic and great value and everything was well presented, good size portions and tasted delicious. Happy to recommend.

Fantastic service and great food. Friendly and nothing too much trouble including boxing up part of our meal as we couldn't finish it! Can't wait to go back!

All five of us enjoyed the food - even the one of us who does not eat Indian food and opted for fish fingers. My Tandoori mix was a very generous portion and the Vindaloo sauce with it appropriately spicy. The service was friendly and timely. We'll certainly be going back there. Happy to give a 6 as could not fault it.

Food was good but service is simply awful- waiters have an attitude no apology for 60 minute wait for main course. We waned a relatively quick curry and spend 2 hours 30 minutes there!! Such a shame as food is good quality but would not go back simply due to service (wait times) and complete lack of empathy from staff

Great food, great service as always. Quite busy and very lively, but we still managed to have plenty of quiet moments, as the tables are quite well spaced out.

Food was excellent, as was the service. Very pleasant and helpful staff. This was our first experience of the Purple Pakora and we will definitely be returning.

Excellent restaurant, wonderful staff, fantastic food and a great time. This is a fabulous restaurant and I can't wait to go back again. It is brilliant.

Went to celebrate a birthday. Warm welcome received and given a couple of happy birthday balloons. Excellent food coupled with amazing service - great, thanks guys. Happy birthday sung as well!

The restaurant serves great food and most enjoyable. My only thought is that they should ask you for your drink order as soon as you sit down rather than let you wait for 10 mins when you have been seated. Other than that 5 star food

The restaurant had no record of our booking & made us feel like they were doing us a favour by fitting us in. I was told I should book by phone really ? It was my daughters birthday meal so this wasn't a great start... The food was delicious & the venue was lovely & spotless, the service let it down a bit as we weren't offered the chance to get any more drinks after our initial ones & had to stop a passing waiter. My sister also had to pay at the bar after waiting to avoid missing our train home as our requested bill didn't arrive. Good service would have massively improved our experience.

A very family friendly atmosphere with great food and a good choice of dishes. All courses served on time making for a wonderful dining experience

Semi rural location, ample parking, friendly staff, delicious food, reasonably priced at £60 for 2 people that's for 2 courses with a couple of drinks. Casual dress code, smokers catered for, with chairs and tables outside, complete with candles and ash trays.

Great food, lovely place but the reservation didn't work when booking online (got told this was a fault with the website - if they knew this they should say on the website or sort the issue out). Didn't get offered further drinks, even though we were sat with empty glasses with our meal. Other than the small issues mentioned an overall good place to go.

Lighting can cause a problem with reading the menu. New member of staff who needs more training as when my drink was placed on table fingers were put inside glass. Complaint made to manager who agred that this was unacceptable. Other than this service and food was good.

Excellent food and service The restaurant is very spacious and well decorated The menu as traditional and a great special selection And it is very reasonabley priced

Great service and great food again! Always a great experience every time we've been. We will definitely be going again in the very near future.

we enjoyed both the place and the food the staff are very polite and friendly , the food was of a very high standard we would recommend this place to anyone, good food lovely environment and great staff good job guys keep the good work up

Ridiculously bad service. Drinks were forgotten completely, took ages or were wrong. One main course didn't arrive at all. It took 3 hours in total because of the chaos. It wasn't even full. Shocking

We ate at the Purple Pakora on new year's eve. All five of our party found something different to try and enjoyed our selection very much. The service was friendly and helpful.

We had a mixed starter for 2 which was not worth the 8.95. Our main meals were ok but we had different curry but both tasted very similar. I think they use the same base sauce

The food was really enjoyable and some really different choices. Service was good and very friendly. Will be going again in the New Year sooner rather than later!

Great food at a great price would definitely return again. So much food on the banquet even took some home as we xouldnt manage it all

Delicious food, good service & reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. It's great to have such a nice local restaurant. We will definitely be returning.

Fantastic food, service and attentive staff. It's a very clean and well kept establishment, we will be returning again in the future. Cheers guys! :-)

Food was nice. Bit pricey for what it was though. Great service. The waiters were very attentive and the good didn't take too long to arrive.

This was our first visit here, the food was very good, the staff friendly and an all round good experience. We will most certainly return.

Excellent fresh tasting food in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly approach from the staff good selection range on the menu and reasonably priced - definitely recommend

The food as always was delicious and extremely filling. The staff were friendly and on the ball when it came to clearing and cleaning tables. Overall still one of the best curry houses around.

Lovely experience food gorgeous... It was our second time here and our visit was as good as the first.The staff are very friendly and attentive!.Would definitely recommend! 😀

Great food although be warned the nam breads are MASSIVE! Service on the night we visited was pretty poor though. We waited half an hour for our table even though we'd booked. And then had to wait ages at the table to order drinks, then order food & then for the food to actually arrive. It was good when we did eventually get it but the poor service puts me off wanting to go again

We often eat at this restaurant and love the food and the atmosphere, however on this particular ocassion the food was not as good I.e very small portions even the popodoms were smaller! The chicken korma was watery and hardly any chicken in it in particular. Maybe it was just an off day hopefully it will better again when we return.

Overall, we had great time - the food was excellent and the service was really friendly. Even though it isn't the cheapest, definitely worth every penny!

Food was good. Disappointed that they advertise to use taste card (with no time span on the website or tastecard app!) yet when you get there they refuse!!!! Very disappointing !!!!!

Great service as always!!! The food is tasty and good portion sizes. Always accommodating to large parties and helpful for birthdays. Can't wait to go back .

2nd time we`ve eaten here....the place gets better. lovely meal yet again. The staff are very polite . its well worth the drive from Glossop to Marple for such great service....

Nice atmosphere. Average food. The lamb was tough and chewy so disappointing. Nice big prawns and tasty sauce but lacking seasoning. Drinks extremely expensive £6.90 for a pint of lager is over the top. Service pleasant but quite slow.

Great food! Unfortunately service was a little slow but we were a large party and the restaurant was full. Lovely night had by us all.

Food and service excellent as usual. Only criticism was that the subdued lighting was such, we could barely read the menu, so gave 5 instead of 6.

Food was lovely, really well cooked and presented with a great range of choice. Only grumble was price of the drinks, best part of £3 for a soft drink, the same as a half pint of beer and around £5 for a pint of cobra so half our bill was drinks alone. (Plus one of our party was pregnant so could Only drink soft drinks). Decor is smart and all restaurant seemed to be very clean and well maintained.

Fabulous food, nice warm friendly atmosphere and great night overall, we especially enjoyed the naan bread and it was my sisters birthday and the staff made it very special

Fabulous place. The staff are very friendly and the food is absolutely amazing! This was our second time there and I would definitely go back.

No longer serving lal toofan which was the only reason I go to this restaurant now that it's gone I'll find somewhere else food average

The food and service were excellent , as usual. We have been four times in the last few months and will no doubt go again.

Amazing food and service as always. I cannot fault this place. We took our relatives with us and it was their first time they thoroughly enjoyed it also

The food is delicious and the staff are very welcoming and friendly, lovely atmosphere would definitely recommend to others and will definitely be going back.

We found the restaurant to be very clean and welcoming and not too noisy for a Saturday night. Food and service were both excellent. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would go again

The food was excellent but the service wasnt great, there didnt seem to be anybody around to ask questions or get atention it was all waiting for them to come to you, And the restuarant was very dar
