About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Are you tired of the same old Indian restaurants serving up the traditional dishes you've had countless times before? Look no further! The only Indian Gastro Pub in the North West that is redefining what Indian cuisine can be.

At The Ale & Aloo, guests are treated to an innovative and exciting fusion of flavours that combine traditional Indian ingredients with a modern twist. From mouth-watering curries to small plates, every dish on the menu is a celebration of creativity and culinary expertise. What is worth the most attention is the MadrAss Sharing Platter featuring the best of both worlds: Indian cuisine and Pub culture.

What sets The Gatehouse apart is its unique approach to Indian cuisine. While staying true to the roots of traditional dishes, chef Xavier is not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with new flavours and techniques. The result? A dining experience that is both familiar and exciting, offering guests the best of both worlds.

    Our first time here and we were a multi generational group from 7 to 83. The staff were friendly and the service times reasonable. The child's meal was enjoyed. 2 had the large sharer which was on a insta offer so reasonable value. The 2 jalfrezi were tasty and good portion but very salty, and I like salt. The lamb rogan josh was disappointing: mainly gravy with some lumps of lamb. Nan bread was enjoyed. The prices however were extortionate and means I will not be returning. Much better value at a curry restaurant.

    As usual, a very enjoyable meal with the family. Lovely tasting food served in generous portions. Good variety to choose from. Also a children’s non-spicy menu, so our 8 year old was happy too with her chicken nuggets and chips. Service was excellent - friendly and personal but not intrusive.

    Party of 6, consisting of 4 adults who all had different dishes and all of us thoroughly enjoyed. The flavours were so nice and portions were perfect. Children opted for the children’s menu and they enjoyed also. The only negative thing of the visit was that all meals didn’t come out at the same time and there was quite a gap. This was our first time at Ale & Aloo and I would certainly recommend.

    Absolutely lovely food! Bit of a wait but they explain that’s because it’s freshly made, it’s worth the wait! 😋❤️

    Food took 2 hours to come out we ate at 22.30, our table was booked for 20.00, we ordered a dish we had eaten lots of times before at other places, it was way too hot to eat, it was Valentine’s Day, the offer was free glass of Prosecco, we had to ask for this at the end of our meal, we asked a few times where our food was, to be told we was next to be served, we was not.
