Reviews The Red Fort

Nice place in Woking Town centre. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed (Indian music plays in the background, but it's not overwhelming). The staff is very polite, and the food is good. The menu has a great variety of dishes, from starters to mains, and everything is quite filling! Maybe is a bit pricey (you're just in town centre), but overall is a nice restaurant. They also deliver at home.

Absolutely fantastic curry. I had the pathia. Sweet, sour and rich tomato based sauce. Meat was excellent quality. Friend had the lamb dhansak and was also incredible. Best curry I've had in while. Would give Camberley Tandoori a run for its money!!

Decent food at a decent price. Can't say it was special but it was good for the price.

Staff polite and welcoming as usual, wanted the lamb mirchi but unfortunately this was unavailable, waiter suggested an alternative that was as flavourful and good. Service was good, no hovering, and waiter was able to define the dishes to our US colleagues who were not as familiar with their style as we were. Time to prepare was not to long. All in all a favourite of mine and recommend their restaurant to all

I can't comment on the eating-in option - this review is for the Red Fort takeaway. It.is.INCREDIBLE. The first time I ordered through Just-Eat (now switched to ordering direct from Red Fort as it's cheaper) was purely by chance. They were cheap so I went with them, with low expectations due to the price. Oh my god was I WRONG!! Every single dish was full of flavour, and beautifully cooked, from the perfect onion bahji to the soft sheek kebab. But the main point to note is the lamb they use. If you're of a certain age you will remember when EVERY Indian restaurant used those lovely chunks of lamb, instead of the miserable, cheap and nasty marbled strips half of them use today. Red Fort use CHUNKS of lamb, that are so soft they almost melt in your mouth. And ZERO gruesome white tubing either. Absolutely incredible quality of food for the price. Don't be fooled by how cheap Red Fort are - support a wonderful, top notch establishment that REALLY make the effort to get their food right.

Despite having lived close the The Red Fort in Woking for many years, it was only this week that I decided to eat there for the first time. They had a five-star food hygiene rating, and a website where we could check the menu in advance. It was a quiet night, around 10:30pm, with around four tables in. There was one gentleman running front-of-house and he was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I was eating with my partner and we both felt the customer service was great. We enjoyed the usual drinks and poppadom, followed by the mixed meat platter to start. It was hot and tasty – what more can I ask for! When it came to ordering mains, I was tempted by my go-to, a lamb madras. However the gentleman serving us recommended I might like to try one of their signature dishes – I believe it was the Nepali Ghurka Lamb. I was not disappointed – it was delicious; with plenty of decent quality meat and a really nice flavour that was a nice variation from a lot of the regular Indian dishes I would usually go for. The speed of service was in line with what you would expect for the time of night, and the food came out hot and well presented. With regards Covid safety, the staff their wore masks when attending tables, and there was plenty of space between us and other guests. We were able to use the NHS check-in app when we arrived. In terms of value for money, we found it to be about average – and were very happy to leave a tip for the warm, friendly service. My only complaint would be that the chairs in the restaurant are shaped in such a way that they are not the most comfortable for those with a larger rump! But – that didn’t negatively impact the overall experience. Will absolutely return.
