Amazing meal, excellent service ( really surprised at other reviews saying the service was poor, definitely not the case at all when we visited) would most definitely return & highly recommend!

An absolute shocker from the moment we walked in. 45 minutes past our booking time to be seated, 20 minutes after that to get asked if we wanted a drink, slow, slow, slow....and it continued throughout the night. 3 and a half hours we were there, without even an apology! Very rude and unbelievably arrogant staff, management sat behind the... More

Not the first time we have eaten here but still the same problem. The food is good but on two different visits one of us had luke warm food and the other's was hot. The sevice is poor, there seem to be lots of staff rushing about but just not organised correctly. The food is quite expensive but tasty, when... More

Great atmosphere,( think it was originally a music hall/theatre? Unusual, but fab!) Good cocktail menu :-) Delicious curries, go with waiter's recommendations, will cook to your liking. Friendly service, nothing was too much trouble.

From the moment we went into the restaurant the staff and service was excellent, and they were very helpful when choosing our meal The food was... More

Loved the food last night. Extremely well spiced, well cooked and well presented. There are hundreds of staff who are extremely friendly but sadly the service was quite slow and we had to ask twice for quite a few dishes - a shame as the restaurant wasn't busy. Cardamom Black is so close to being a first-rate dining experience.

We visit Harrogate several times a year and we like to try different restaurants. For our visit on the evening of 2 May we booked a table for 8pm a week ahead. We duly arrived at Cardomom Black at 7.40pm where the receptionist immediately spoke to us and we gave our name and time of booking. The receptionist could not... More

Tried this restaurant because the one we wanted was closed on the Bank Holiday and boy am I glad we did. The decor, food and service were all excellent. Other reviews refer to the cost and yes it is more expensive than your run of the mill Indian restaurants, but this is no ordinary Indian. The locally sourced lamb starter... More
