Cardamon Grill - Warrington

From the good reviews it looks like this restaurant has loyal local following but we found it didn't really match our experience. The interior looks ok with subdued lighting but our side alcove was tired and the leather seats cut/ripped so we are sitting on torn leather and foam. The starter was a standard relish tray but came straight from the fridge so it was too cold and we found a couple of the sauces too thin rather than a little thicker than normal to stay on the poppadoms (even being colder! The mains are subjective, but we both found the dishes too spiced and lacking finesse in flavours. The mains were generous in portion size. Service was patchy with requests for water and napkins on two separate occasions not being done. In conclusion an Indian to go to after a few drinks with your mates and handy being right on the high street but for anything else in my experience there are better options.

What a pleasant and lovely decorated restaurant. The food is well presented and extremely tasty, plus a large portion. Well worth a visit

Visited from Cumbria as staying with family close by, what a fantastic meal we all had, service great, generous portions of really tasty food one of the best Indian meals I have had thanks to all the staff for a great meal

Great! I have loved the food and the attention from lovely staff. There were 7 of us and we all agreed that it is a lovely place to go to.

Just enjoyed my first visit to Cardamon. I arrived at 19:30 on Monday 4th and there was only one other table occupied which was a bit of a surprise. The menu was presented smartly and showed a wide variety of interesting sounding dishes which were well explained. I chose the Meat Bilate Mirchi (stuffed pepper) and on the advice of the host the Staff Curry with Pilau rice. Both courses arrived very promptly and were very well presented. Both were highly flavoursome and would rank near the very top of all of the Indian (Bangladeshi) restaurants that I have visited over many many years. The service was very good without being too intrusive. The total bill came to just over £30 for the above mentioned dishes (but no sides) and one pint of Cobra which in my opinion is very good value for money given the outstanding quality of the food. All in all a very good meal and I will certainly visit again when staying in the Warrington Runcorn area.
