Amani in Reigate and Banstead

Tasty food- small portions and expensive. The dips were just average that came with the poppadoms. I had to ask for lime pickle twice the waiter didn't understand the spoken English language. The Dahl was very good. Tiny portion of 3 prawns as a starter some £11 I recall. My wife's main of king prawns was tiny just six prawns of standard size and lots of sauce. We complained and double the quantity reappeared. My lamb curry was tasty small rice served with it. 30% off on the Wednesday.

Great selection of food. Delicious curry. Our friends who are sceptics loved it. I has lamb biriani succulent soft lamb with a vegetable curry wonderful. One of the best I have eaten.

Visited with family Lovely decor, superb food, friendly attentive staff. Will definitely return. Well worth a visit. 👍

If I could give this place 10 I would. Azhar was so friendly and made our meal extra special. Would 100% recommend

First time I have been there, the food was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would be happy to use again.

Lovely curry 🍛 and a glass of wine 🍷 and a beer 🍺.

My husband and I ordered from here on a quiet Wednesday evening. I chose the delivery option and was assured it would take no longer than 45 mins. Over an hour later I chased it and was assured it was on its way. It then took a further half hour (we only live 5 mins down the road for context). The food was fairly average however they had forgotten an item. I rang to request this and received a fairly non-committed response, another 40 mins later I chased again and I was told I could get an extra poppadum next time! I was clear that I wanted a refund however this was flat out refused. Overall a very negative experience.

I can not fault Amani, the staff go above and beyond! Their service is fantastic, the restaurant is spotless, and the food is sensational! 😍🍴

High quality food in a really nice setting. Place looks like it has recently been fully renovated and the smaller details have been considered. From the food, presentation and even the plates have been thought of to a detailed level. Waiters and owner are nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Lunch for five adults was relaxed, unhurried, & tasty across five different dishes of very high standard. Service was excellent: nothing was too much trouble. This restaurant is highly recommended.

This has been our favourite Indian restaurant for many years and we love it. Always amazing food, that's beautifully presented. Attentive service too.

Simply superb Yes a little more expensive than your normal take away but this is streets ahead of the others . 5 meals all superb Good job Armani and we will be back

Previously we have enjoyed eating at this restaurant! Tonight the delivery was 40 mins late with no messages and they don’t answer the phone for an update. When the food eventually arrived driver said they only have 1 delivery driver hence the food being cold and poor quality. Such a shame as would previously have recommended but now will go back to Le Raj next door for a much better experience.

This restaurant is a great find. The food is presented with style and is the best Indian food I have had, even after 50 years living in central London (and better than a nearby restaurant). Not to be missed.

It's a lovely place to enjoy Lunch and dinner with friendly service and the food is excellent, I will go back again with friends and family.

Absolute gem of a restaurant. This is not just old fashioned Indian food catering to western palettes. I've tried pretty much every dish on the menu at some point. The chef is talented and the staff were super polite but not over the top. The best Indian restaurant in Surrey.

I booked in for a Bollywood night. There was 4 of us, 2 people are meat eaters and 2 people are vegans. When I booked online as suggested by a member of staff when I called, as if they couldn't do it over the phone (all the bookings where hand written on a piece of paper when we got there, oh and the only thing that was noted is that i paid £20 deposit but not the fact that our table required vegan based menu) in the notes section online I specifically said we will require a vegan menu. When we were seated at the table the waiter didn't give us a drinks menu or a set food menu for us to look at. When they served food I questioned about which one was a vegan option, the staff looked very confused they didn't know what I was talking about. Asked to speak to a manager, the waiter didn't even bother getting the manager so I had get up to find someone only to discover that the manager was not available as he was in the kitchen busy, im sure that he was completely unaware that there is a table that required a vegan option menu. A lovely female member of staff came out from the kitchen assuring me that there is vegan based menu, trust me there wasn't. The starter was ok, but to have 2 potato dishes, cauliflower and lentils as a main with £40 ahead and no desert, for a restaurant its pretty appalling. The menu for meat eaters was ok, really not worth £40 ahead. Now we get to the service... poor doesn't even describe it. Chef came across as having an attitude every time he attended the table. It did not feel very welcoming or accommodating towards our needs, and it came across as a bother. After the mains We were not even asked about deserts, I had to get up and ask if there is any deserts to come, 2 of us had a desert, which was ok, too frozen couldn't even use a spoon but for vegan option all we got As a "desert" is coffee black, couldn't even have milk as had no other milks available.£80 for a standard of vegan options we had was absolutely outrageous. Most waiters didn't really understand if you asked them a simple question, all we got is I go and get someone but that someone never came. I never write reviews because opinions do vary, but after this meal I was extremely disappointed with the restaurant atmosphere, attitude and just simply not valuing their customer. There was only one lady that worked there behind the bar that actually was helpful and pleasant.

Our first time here with my family this evening and the food was amazing! Staff were really friendly and the food didn’t take long at all, service was exceptional. Will definitely be returning.

Had such a lovely time for my birthday meal here with my folks, food was really tasty, service was excellent, atmosphere was great. Thank you indeed. I'll be back for sure!

TAKEAWAY NIGHTMARE. Had a great meal in the restaurant a few weeks ago so thought we would try the delivery! DISASTER!! arrived 40mins early and so we refused it. The gentleman on the phone said that they didn’t know the delivery time (the receipt had the time and was circled in biro). We asked for a re-delivery and gave the food back. We then called 15mins after the expected delivery time to be told “we are RE-HEATING it” Thanks but NO THANKS. Will not be ordering a delivery from them EVER again. SO DISAPPOINTING.

Pre ordered food for delivery at 8.30pm. Was told '10 minutes' at 9pm, 9.15pm and 9.30pm. Food turned up at 9.50 and the order was wrong and cold. I think they just sent what they had

Cheap and cheerful, 15 quid for a buffet lunch. Not much variety but tasty, though the lamb starter was very salty. Not much choice for vegetarians.

Our first time at Amani! The food was exceptional - fresh authentic flavours and spice. The waiter was very attentive and the chief made sure to greet us and take the time to speak with us. This is a gem of an Indian and we will definitely be back!

Food was ok but the service wasn’t very good. They cleared our plates whilst others were still eating - the restaurant was very empty but we felt very rushed. They got our mains order wrong and then overcharged us when the bill arrived (by adding an additional main meal). Sadly won’t be returning.

Unbelievable curry house what can I say? Wow, every dish was absolutely amazing. If you’ve never been here, I strongly recommend this place.

Bollywood night started two hours late, food was served an hour late. Service was horrible and rude. The manager was called and he was very rude! The food wasn’t special either. Will never go again and don’t recommend it.

Fabulous food! Ignore the online booking system. Just give them a call to book!

Service was very slow, food was over salted to point of inedible. Drinks order was wrong and waiting staff ignoring us and others. Sexist waiting staff even my drink (the wrong one admittedly) was given to my husband with his drink. I took it back to bar myself and then waiting 10 minutes and had to remind them I was still waiting (it was a soft drink and not hard to pour from the can)

Visited Amani for my birthday. Everything was delicious, I had the Goan chicken curry. At first it tastes is like butter chicken but then the spices take over, the depth of flavour was amazing. The other dishes we ordered, samosas, lamb biryani and chicken tikka were all fantastic.

Very lovely meal and evening. The staff were friendly, accommodating for children & vegetarians. Thank you

Turned up for the Sunday buffet. Staff is very welcoming and sat us down right away. I felt that the waiter was a bit too eager to ask for drinks as we only had the drinks menu for about 2 minutes. The service was great overall. The food was amazing and not overly spicy. There were many choices of different foods. We could pick from potatoes, rice, beef, and chicken. The place was renovated recently, the aesthetic and colours go together well. It feels very romantic and warm. The light fixtures were dim and had interesting patterns.

Went for dinner last Friday and was taken back by the quality of food Firstly the use of only the freshest produce really stands out and it doesn’t go unnoticed as it gives every dish such flavour and texture And highlights the chefs ability and skill of each and every individual spice Secondly what really impressed me was the individuality of each dish for it’s simple and clever yet effective cooking take you on a culinary journey from start to finish like nothing the average person would have experience when used to traditional uk curry’s houses it is a real gem not one to be missed Final thoughts The best food Iv eaten in this cuisine and will be very hard to beat ! 10/10

Was booked in for table of 4 online for 19.30 but when we turned up they said they had no reservations for us. I showed them my confirmation booking online to which they were not interested at all saying we don’t have any room for you. Could of at least tried to make the effort to accommodate us but they just weren’t interested ended up going round the corner to Indus restaurant & it was perfect so in future i know where we will be going

Best Lamb Dansak anywhere, Onion bhajis are good too. Would highly recommend this Indian.

The food is excellent, service is very attentive and atmosphere is relaxed. Tbh am surprised that it’s not packed! Came with my mother in law, who’s Indian- the ultimate test and passed with flying colours. Would definitely recommend!

Nice Indian spread and great service!

We visited Amani last Friday and it was a lovely experience for us both, nice modern decor and welcoming staff were great and the food was spectacularly good, beautifully presented, and fairly reasonable in price, we will definitely return again soon

Food was quite nice. However they are very keen to fill up your wine glass and I do mean fill

Excellent food in a modern fresh environment. Personal tuning of the dishes if required . Excellent paneer and vegetarian dishes.

My friend & I regularly order a takeaway from Amani as we live locally; however we ate in the restaurant last night to belatedly celebrate her birthday. We booked an early table but stayed for about three hours. The service was polite & friendly and the restaurant was pleasantly decorated. The food was the star of the show - I had the prawn puri starter and my friend had three generously sized onion bhajis. For mains - I had the lamb shank which was divine and had the right amount of chilli heat for me. My friend chose her usual chicken tikka masala. We had a great evening - thanks to the chef and the Amani team. Highly recommended.

Booked the restaurant for a private function and the owner was really helpful in making sure it went well. The food was excellent as was the service and we had a great time.

Yeah recommend for a local. I don’t think chicken tikka masala is meant to be sweet like a korma but none the less everything else: garlic naan, daal, biryani, mixed grill was good! It would have been nice to receive complimentary appetisers like popadoms , chutneys etc for a £60 order. If I had dined it, surely it would have been a service.

Friendly welcome on arrival, staff attentive throughout and happy to help. I had the braised Lamb shank and it was lovely. Definitely recommend.

Not a massive curry fan in UK but this was genuinely very good! Aromatic, tasty good spice and generous portions. Best budgies! Definitely our go to Indian going foreword.

We ordered takeaway at 7.30pm with an estimated delivery time of 8.30pm. When it didn’t arrive by 9.30pm (despite a message on Deliveroo saying it had been delivered) I called and was told by a very rude and offhand member of staff that it was Saturday and they were busy. Assured it would be with us shortly. Rang again at 9.45pm and was hung up on three times with expletives heard in background. At 9.55pm I phoned again and was told it was two minutes away. Delivery finally arrived at 10.15pm. The attitude of the member of staff was appalling, rude, arrogant with no apology. Ruined our evening with friends, will never use this restaurant again

Amazing Mothers Day everyone loved the food and the staff were so nice 👍

Home delivery order in March 2023 delivered with missing (important) item. Despite three requests (one in writing) over the following days - no refund from Amani. The food is fine but I’d suggest you give your custom to a restaurant with a more organised delivery service and a different approach to making up for their mistakes.

Lovely food, really good options, but very small portions. Real pity, I had raved about this place and took a friend. I had thought it would be my 'go to' place. Will try again, but worrying trend.

Our whole experience here was great. We got take away and when I arrived I got my collection discount. The food was so good I’m still talking about it the day after. Tremendous

Excellent food! Excellent service! Definitely recommend dining there and currently you get 20% off on Wednesday & Thursdays

Only because they hosted my best mate's engagement party

We had tiger prawn puri and vegetable Somosa plus king prawn starter bloody lovely main lamb shank shaslick lamb and chicken shaslick and hot curry lamb Bombay potatoes garlic spinach tarka dall chick peas the whole meal was top class .it’s better to wait and be calm as the food is cooked to order excellent.

Lovely food and great service. Best Indian around

This is our first time here since lockdown. Absolutely wonderful. The food was excellent and the whole atmosphere very welcoming. A lovely unrushed evening with friends. We will return .

An amazing Indian restaurant, great service and very authentic food

Poor quality food, very small portions and there was no taste. Perhaps you should use fresh chilli instead of chilli powder. Overpriced and undelivered. Avoid!

Sad to have to write this having had a few recent decent take aways from Amani. Tonight though we had our order arrive half an hour late (after waiting an hour for delivery), items were then missing and what turned up was cold and had a hair in one dish. Very disappointing.

Excellent meal. Great flavours. Tender lamb & chicken. Highly recommend.

I had a Hyderabad style lamb curry , garlic nan and malbec wine! Good food, nice atmosphere and great service.

This is a lovely Indian restaurant. We have ordered here via just eat and also been into the restaurant. The service and staff are absolutely fantastic and the food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and it’s a very welcoming atmosphere. Definitely give this place a try.

We had a takeaway last night from here. It wasn't very hot and as we tried to serve we found the containers all squashed and leaking so they were hard to pick up. The food was bland at best with the same sweetness in everything. Why? It is horrible! Vegetable rice for example was full of potatoes. Why? Two stodgy items in one dish. Potatoes in everything pretty much. Potatoes and sugar. It isn't unusual around here, sadly. Please will Indian restaurants stop catering for what they think the "British Public" want and offer us some proper Indian food with flavour? This does not mean adding endless piles of hot chillies. Most of us can make a good curry at home so that is what we will do in future. Or perhaps we should just get a takeaway meal from a local supermarket. We just thought the meal last night was a was a very expensive mistake.

Really enjoyed my meal here a couple of weeks back, the restaurant has been refurbished to a very high standard and the food is the same, every dish I had was absolutely delicious. I thought it all looked a little pricey but soon realised why when the food came to the table, it was all presented very well and everything done properly. The staff took great care of our group and we can't wait to visit again and again. Good job amani 5***

Went friday night for the first time since the makeover and reopening. Great new decor and ambience, nice welcome at the door, attentive service all evening and chef came out to see diners. Interesting new dishes and flavours. Will definitely be back soon to share this fabulous experience with friends.

Very nice tonight everything was perfect … succulent chicken pieces tasty sauce crunchy onion bajees all hot when arrived in good time

The prawn puri was mega, and azad is such a good chef / host. A very nice place to be.

Quick service by attentive staff. The food is good value, well presented, delicious flavours and filling portions.

Armani has had a makeover ,chef came out of kitchen to ask us whether we would like more different dishes Good service A good place to celebrate Jubilee! And the Derby!

Get the chicken curry with lentils. You won't be disappointed. Best Bangladeshi food outside of London city.

Really poor customer service. Waited for a food order placed 2 hours ago - still waiting! Initially told it would take an hour. Won’t be placing an order with them again. When we called to follow up, we were told that they weren’t a McDonalds and that we shouldn’t expect a delivery within the specified time. It’s been 2 hours with no sign of our food order. Really pâthetic service.

Really great food with great depth of flavour and great service. Highly recommended

I love this place. Takeaway food is AMAZING. Thankyou to everyone at Amani for providing such tasty food!

Azad has done a great job with the redecoration, and as always, great food!

Excellent food, and a little bit different from most Indian restaurants. Good service too.

Went last saturday the new restaurant is fabulous the prawn starters and mixed meats to share 9 out of 10 the fish halibut new on the menu 10 out of 10.i would have given 5 stars howeverlike most restaurants they are trying new waiters.

Very happy to go back to Amani last night on their reopening night following a refurbishment, the restaurant looks really great and the standard of the food was excellent as always, one of the nicest Indian restaurants around!

Food never arrived. Tried calling multiple times with no response. Avoid.

Food was extremely tasty but the service was absolutely appalling.

Absolutely fantastic. Went for the 1st time for the Sunday buffet. Really good food, friendly service and excellent value for money.

If I got my order I could review the food. Ordered a delivery but do not waste your time! Ordered at 8.03pm it's now 9.31pm and they have cancelled the order. Won't answer the phone complete waste of time.

Pashvari is amazing!! But recently I order and it wasn't the same... missing lots of coconut... please, don't change the recipe!!

Super food. Up market Indian restaurant not just a curry house.

Meal was late arriving, the chapatis looked like they were a week old and we just binned them (see photo), the poppadoms were smashed to pieces, there was a lake of ghee on the top of our lamb dish, the tarka dal was bland and tasteless, the lettuce in the salad was brown and rotting. Very expensive and there’s much better value from restaurants in Tadworth and Banstead.

The food is great and always happy and friendly face. We normally order from them 2 or 3 times a month. If they delivered we would order from them more...😁

Very disappointed We had food from here in the past , especially due to the lockdowns as a treat . Thought it would be a nice treat not to cook on 14th Feb Very bland , all three dishes taste the same (with different names! ) Also we have booked for the delivery between 6.30-7 arrived at 6 . Husband said you are early , so which the response just a little 🤷🏽‍♀️. Had his would have been me first impression of this restaurant, I would not order again What has happened? Different chefs ?

Ordered and paid for a take away via Just eat.. called the restaurant 90 mins prior to delivery to confirm and spoke to the rudest member of staff who insisted the order had never been placed... his behaviour and attitude throughout the call was completely disgusting and unnecessary

I placed an order on just eat only for the restaurant to say they delivered the items at 8.15pm they only attempted the delivery at 11.00pm nearly 3 hours later. Disgraceful and I had already ordered something else. When I spoke to the restaurant about a refund they just hung up. I will be taking further action on just eat and action fraud against the restaurant. DO NOT USE

Ordered at 20.05. The driver arrived at 23,10 by which time we had ordered food from somewhere else which had already been delivered. I phoned the restaurant 6 times over the course of an hour and they didn’t bother to answer. Then the manager phoned at 23:10 and started arguing on the phone.

Also still waiting for our large delivery, says it’s been delivered on the just eat app....very disappointed and want a refund

One of the best Indian food in the area. The takeaway/online menu has green chilli curry which is a must try, very unique taste with a joy to spectrum of flavours on the palette. Our saviour during the lockdown with home delivery promptly made. A good local business to support.

Having lived in Epsom for a very long time, I’ve tried almost every curryhouse in town. Since the change of management at Everest Spice made me start looking for a new go to place, I tried Amani a few times and can safely say this is currently the best you can get in town. Would recommend! Food quality is exceptionally good and flavourful whether you eat in or takeaway.

Always 😍 Lovely food good service

WARNING! I visited this place Saturday 10 October, rude staff not even wearing face masks whilst serving food, when i said it this to them they were very rude back, they were letting people walk around without face masks. Its places like this that are making Covid worse, plus the food was clearly not fresh and so expensive

4 months ago I found this restaurant as it was recommended. The first and 2nd time I ordered food I must say it was the best I have ever tasted in 50 years of eating Indian food at least once a week. The 3 rd and 4 th time they started forgetting parts of the order and the quality of the food and time to deliver it was not great . Last Friday I ordered and it took nearly 1.45 to arrive. The food itself was shockingly bad and a waste of money it went in the garbage. Not sure what is going on but clearly they have a chef problem and a service issue

I have been to this restaurant twice for family occasions very enjoyable , first time having a take away, we was not disappointed , good quality dishes and delivered on time and booked online.

Ordered a takeaway at 7.15 on a Saturday evening, numerous calls and assurances that it was on its way at 10pm ordered a pizza

We ordered a takeaway which took a while although we were told 45 - 60 mins (Friday night). The meat was very tender however found the overall flavour of all dishes to be spoilt by being very salty! We had Chicken Madras, Lamb Rogan Josh, Keema naan, Keema and mushroom rice and chicken tikka. Price was reasonable but won't order from there again.

Brilliant restaurant, wonderful food and such a friendly atmosphere, would certainly recommend the Amani.

(DELIVERY) Via just eat I ordered on a Wednesday evening a delivery to a hotel of Chicken Madras, Pilau rice and a Keema naan, It was very nice indeed, the best Keema Naan I've ever eaten, my only criticism is the chicken was a little near undercooked for me, time will tell, but I think it was cooked just about enough!!

Prelock down I have enjoyed many meals at Amani .The same cannot be said for the takeaway I ordered from here today . To order the food itself was an ordeal , the waiter cut the phone on me several times.When I complained he agreed that it wasnt great service as he was the only one there ( this should have warned me not to order from Amani but I persisted ) The mixed grill was over salted as were the potatoe cakes. The chana was tasteless. The biriyani was the only edible part of my meal... Very very disappointed. Save your money and get a takeaway from le Raj next door who have maintained the same standard of food in lockdown .
