Review Phoolwari Tandoori Indian Restaurant - Ringwood

The waitress was really kind and patient with us since it was the first time we ordered Indian food. We eat the butter chicken with rice and it was fabulous! Note: Phoolwari means flower garden ❤️ I really recommend to eat in this restaurant

Lovedeep was a warm and welcoming host. Taking the time to talk & explain how the restaurant started, its recent change in ownership & major renovations. Phoolwari is a well presented restaurant. With classy, fresh decor suitable for a special occasion. Overall the food was delicious, well cooked, generously portioned and of high quality ingredients. Abundance of spices and yummy North Indian flavours. The samosa's were fantastic. The pastry was light, thin and crispy and the filling was packed with spices and flavour. Papadams served with a delightful tamarind sauce and mint sauce. Naan bread was cooked perfectly, slight springiness and the garlic naan was unique in that the garlic was roasted before crushing, heightening the flavours. The lamb Rogan Josh and beef korma were balanced, creamy, but felt that they would have tasted better if more tender. The mango and pistachio kulfi's (ice-cream) were a nice end to the meal. The dinner for 2 meal will leave you full and satisfied. We'll done and all the best to this fresh start for Phoolwari! If you're allergic to MSG, might be good to double check if they use MSG as I'm feeling really thirsty afterwards. Do Phoolwari use MSG?

Took AN HOUR AND 35 MINUTES to arrive!!! Cold. And the containers are only half filled. What a rip off. Never again. PS the chicken isn’t even cooked. It’s pink!!

What an amazing experience eating at Phoolwari. Excellent and very friendly staff. Food was very tasty with amazing aromas of spices. Just delicious!!! You could tell that all the food was made fresh as the chicken was so tender and juicy, and all the meals were hot. If you love flavour, I highly recommend Phoolwari!! The decor is very warm and welcoming with a classy set up. We will definitely be back very soon!!

Dined at Phoolwari and was a fabulous experience. The ambience was amazing and new interiors were classy. Food was scrumptious and cooked with great flavours, we asked for mild and it was just perfect. Totally recommend this place to locals as the new owners are friendly and very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks for your lovely service :)

A quiet Sunday night experience in very comfortable surroundings. The service was perfectly timed, friendly and efficient. The food was perfectly spiced and expertly cooked. I was especially intrigued with the huge, family heirloom stitchery on the wall. Days later my friend and I are still talking happily about our experience. We would go again.

Ordered the Family Pack for 4 last night using Menulog. Had never eaten here before. Overall, very impressed. Price was very reasonable, and it actually fed 5 of us comfortably. Well done for offering the Family Pack, it makes ordering very quick & easy, especially if you don't have any fussy eaters in your party 👍🏼

The food was absolutely delicious! Best Indian food I've had in ages. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I've already been there twice since the renovations and I will definitely go again.

The worst service I have ever had in my life. As the closing time is 10 o’clock, we called by 9:15 to book a table for us so they were like try to come early as we want to close at 10 and we were like okay! We totally understood and we reach there in within 10 minuets and they were like getting so much impatient for an order as we were the only customers at that time or may be we were first and last of the day!!!! Anyway,they just really didn’t treat us well and the food wasn’t even too good as they prepared it so quickly as they wanted to just close the kitchen. We had ordered chicken biryani and we even found a stone in biryani. And rice was even not well cooked as they were just in rush to close the shop. Such a ridiculous approach and even when we were leaving the boy on the counter treated us like we had free food at a lodge.No gestures no apology for their bad stoned food. Well won’t ever recommend any one to visit this place especially when it’s CLOSING TIME because it’s just waste of money and even you can’t feed your self in such way.

This has been our go to Indian place for at least 10 years and we eat here semi regularly. Well nothing prepared me for the shamozzle that was tonight. We arrived at 5.45 and tried to place a drinks order. The waitress was new and did not know what a Lemon, Lime and Bitters was. After a comedic back and forth exchange hubby ended up pointing to the menu and hoping. 5 minutes later we got our drinks. We then placed our order - or again attempted to. At this time we specifically requested a plate of rice and some naan to come out ASAP for the kids (the usual tray of poppadoms and dips not being delivered for some reason this evening.) 50 minutes (and nothing bar two entree pieces of tandoor chicken later) there's still no food. No poppadoms, no rice. By this stage the kids are about to eat the table leg! Husband ended up leaving and taking our son to get Hungry Jacks before dropping him to a school event. Usually we're in and out in 45 minutes but tonight it was 55 mins before the first of the mains arrived. The food itself was good, even though some of the order had been missed (but I wasn't charged for it, so that's something.) My daughter was really wanting the poppodoms, and after several failed attempts at trying to request these, my husband stopped at home 3 suburbs away and nuked her some, bringing them back to the restaurant for her to eat. Yes. You read that right. We had to bring our own poppodoms to an Indian restaurant!!!!! The food itself is always good there, but with a one hour and fifty minute turnaround for a simple meal (entree, main and desert) and NO ONE else in the restaurant, I don't dare ever go again. Could you imagine it on a packed night?!?! Thanks for the good times, Phoolwari - it's been a fun 10+ years, but I think it's time we find a new Indian restaurant...

Have ordered from here before and its been great. Tonight was terrible. Ordered medium spicy and got no spice. Meat was chewy and lots if grisle.Ordered bottle of drink and driver forgot. No sorry here is your money back. Shit service shit food and you owe me $4.50

Been awake since 3.30am with terrible food poisoning, both myself and my son after takeaway last night. � never again.

Absolutely Delicious. .. thanks for another beautiful dinner!!!!!... telling everyone 😙😋😘😋👍👌💕💕

Must have caught these guys on a busy night as the wait on food was longer than expected (Home delivery was longer than the given time.) however the food was amazing safe to say this will be our new local. Thanks to the team for being so polite given the long wait.

Love their food. We eat there fortnightly. Highly recommended.

Love love love This authentic Indian....whenever we have visitors we always take them....good service and not too hard on the back pocket
