Sinbad Tandoori - Swindon

Sinbad has always been our go to Indian takeaway, with the last one in October 2022 which was as good as always. Last night however, was one of the worst Indian takeaways I have had from anywhere in a very long time. We ordered 3 curry's and a Korma sauce, the Chicken Tikka Balti with Saag was fine but the Buttered Chicken and the Chicken Tikka were basically odd versions of a Korma. The Buttered Chicken tasted like watered down Korma and the Masala was just a died red Korma, both of which were basically just not what was expected. The whole experience was also made worse by the extremely long wait for an initial 45 to 60 minute suggested delivery time which ended up being much closer to 2 hours, seriously not worth the wait. The onion bhaaji and Nan breads were ok but that did not make up for the rubbish main meals Not sure we will be going back to them again, at least not for a while, which is a real shame as the last one 6 or so months ago was up to their then usual standard.

Great food, shame we were over charged. We ordered a separate tikka masala sauce separately yet we were charged the same as a full Chicken Tikka masala??? Portion was smaller and didn't contain any meat yet chargedfull price?

I have been using Sinbads on Rodbourne Rd for 26 years and will never buy from any other curry house. I began buying from Sinbads as a teen when I lived in Rodbourne and continued to do so as an adult when I moved out of Rodbourne. My wife is now hooked on Sinbads since I introduced her to the food. Such a high standard of food with complex and rich flavours which are fantastic. If you can't wait for delivery because to be fair they're always busy (what do you expect) I suggest ordering and collecting. I order when I'm in the establishment and get my food within 10 minutes everytime..100% legit food..

It's not a he best in Swindon unfortunly. The meal we ordered that we order from another Indian in Swindon with less of a good rating was much better. More flavour and the breads done proper. This place very clean rice but not great , curry okay not great and breads not nice soft soggy. Disappointed

The best takeaway in Swindon. Always very good. The food is always tasty and hot. The service is great
