"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."

"7 of us arrived at 5.30pm on Tuesday, we ordered our food (it wasn't busy at all) and most of it came pretty quickly apart from 1 meal which I suspect had been forgotten about. 3 of us had the salt and pepper chicken which was priced at £16.50 rather expensive I would say. Disappointing is an understatement the rice was so stuck together we had to slice it, the chicken was ok and the chips were also ok but for £16.50 my expectations were so much higher. We were on a time limit or we would have complained and definitely should have done. We will not be returning anytime soon. Very expensive and not great food. What a let down as it used to be one of my favourite places to eat. Parking: Plenty of parking"

"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."
