I ordered food today (24/06/2026) for collection — Lamb Biryani at 17:45.
I don’t think it was actually biryani; it seemed like something else. It had a very bad smell. I’m not sure whether the lamb was expired or if the rice was cooked using leftover oil from another curry dish.
I have never, ever in my life tasted such bad food. I would tell my friends: if you don’t want to enjoy food in your life, then try this place — Classic Indian Restaurant in Sligo. I would even say, if you want to hate a particular food, try it from there.
I forced myself to take just one bite, thinking maybe it only smelled bad. But as soon as I took the first bite, I started vomiting.
Please try it once, and you’ll never want to eat that dish again in your life.

Reviews
The food was so fresh the service was incredible. I had to start the dips and chutney was gorgeous. I had the mixed Tandoori all of the meat so fresh and I had a Balti curry and garlic Nan bread. Everything was cooked so perfectly I will be returning.
This was my worst experience to dine over here with my family . I ordered paneer butter masala and asked to make it some spicy but it came with so much of sweetness and covered with chilli flakes to add spice. I felt like vomiting after having it. Adding papad and onions with green chutney with food is complementary everywhere and here they dont provide anything. We waited for 20 -25 mins for food on our table and it was pathetic in taste.I strongly advise everyone to avoid this restaurant. I had a very bad experience and would never ever return.
