"This is a review based only on take away food and from over take aways, so not a one off. One of the biggest surprises to us was the variation in quality from one week to the next. An example of this is that...a Tandoori mixed grill one week was so good, my partner had it again the next week, second time it was almost covered in a slimy coating and not at all pleasant. This also happened with a lamb Rogan josh, top quality one week, a few weeks later it tasted more like a pudding (more of this later). The quality of the meat, be it chicken, lamb or prawn has been generally absolutely top quality, large tasty pieces of meat, larger pieces than most other takeaways and good quality too. The side dishes have been generally good to. Price wise Holdi is expensive, there is no question about this and when the food is good quality I do not mind paying for it, the inconsistency we have encountered doesn’t warrant these prices to be honest. However, the biggest issue we have with Holdi is sweet curries, so often we have all of us) said this tastes sweet try it yourselves. It’s sweet to a point that it becomes a bit weird and not what you want from a curry. In addition to this have a look at the menu, about times it must say a sweet dish! We have avoided these and still received a sweet dish, the last one a sweet chicken jalfrezi…? Finally, when its around for a takeaway, chuck in a few poppadoms most other restaurants and takeaways do, it is a nice gesture."

"Seven of us arrived at 5:30 PM on Tuesday. We placed our orders, and although the restaurant wasn't busy, most of our meals arrived fairly quickly except for one, which I suspect was forgotten. Three of us ordered the salt and pepper chicken, priced at £16.50, which I found to be quite expensive. To say it was disappointing would be an understatement—the rice was so clumped together that we had to slice it apart. The chicken was just okay, and the chips were also average, but for £16.50, I expected much better quality. We were on a tight schedule, or we would have raised our concerns, which we definitely should have done. We won't be coming back any time soon. The meal was pricey and not worth it. What a letdown, especially since this used to be one of my favorite places to eat. On a positive note, there is plenty of parking available."

"We always order from here but the last 2 weeks has not been a good experience for us the food is very poor it was excellent until now meat is not soft anymore like chewing on bones and no meat and the soup is usually thick and tasty but it is now watery and not very tasty we are hoping this is not going to turn into a regular thing but twice now it was just a waste of money had to throw away if this carries on will not be returning or recommending at all and usual we would can't understand what has happened and seem to be different staff."
