The Alachi International Restaurant

Seen a few reviews for this place which were good and they were not wrong. When you first walk in really welcomed by staff got to choose where we want to sit, we had our drinks within minutes. Really fast good service by the staff.
Food was really good. To start we had the mix started which was lamb chicken tikka and shish kebab. The only bad but was the lamb was abit tough. Always found that wherever I have had this starter the rest was lovely. For main I had a chicken balti which was really nice. Partner had a pathia said one the best he has had.
Overall good restaurant friendly staff and good food. Only reason don’t get five stars just not a child friendly place, the only thing you can get for kids is chicken nuggets and chips. Will be visting again soon.

The interior of this Indian restaurant always reminds me of Biff Tannen’s apartment in Back to the Future II. It is very eighties nouveau-​flash-​trash, with black and red leather, neon lighting and artworks of questionable taste. There are glass tables and mirrored walls. I always find myself distracted by the indoor fishpond.
The food is really good, apparently the chef used to work for Indian royalty. I love the King Prawn Purée to start and the Chicken Tikka Dansak is reliably delicious. The Alachi is licensed, which makes a welcome change to some of the other local curry houses.
The Alachi really go all out, pitching themselves a cut above the standard curry house. They have monthly themed evenings with live music and you can even hire their private limo for transport to and from the restaurant. Take-​away is also available.
