Castle view Indian cuisine in Lincoln

Best Indian ever. Even London can't compete

Worst experience don't go there i will advise council to visit their kitchen very unheigin atmosphere. ❗❗Advise not to visit that place ❗❗

A great cosy restaurant tucked away next to Lincoln Castle. You can taste the fresh ingredients used in each dish and a good selection of dishes are available. The staff are helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

Tried to have a meal called in at about 9.45 told they stop letting people in from 9oclock .Indian resteraunt ???? Closing so early

Ate there 4.10.24 this is now the Indian restaurant that will set the standard for future Asian cuisine really excellent food.

Fantastic as ever! Best Indian restaurant in the area and the standard never drops. The "Chef's Special" dishes in particular are amazing. Very tight for space and steep stairs, but it's definitely worth it. You'll need to book!

Great food, fast service, Good prices

Great food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

This is hands down the best Indian restaurant I’ve found. The food and service are outstanding. The dishes are incredibly tasty and fresh, with none of the excessive oiliness you sometimes find in other curry houses. The restaurant is busy for both dine-in and takeout, so it’s a good idea to book in advance or order your takeaway 30-40 minutes before you want to collect it. It’s well worth the wait. If there’s a rare delay, they’ll offer a complimentary drink while you wait. The prices are fantastic as well. Keep up the great work—I’ll definitely be back soon!

Amazing the food service 2nd to none my Lamb Jalfrezi insane take away for 4 all really enjoyed our meals 🤙

Amazing place, lovely food.. great service

Good and service just fantastic. Probably my favourite curry house in Britain. A tiny fraction of a start withheld because the stairs are crazy! Booking practically essential.

First class meal and service cannot wait to go back absolutely brilliant

Food is amazing! Highly recommended!

Fantastic restaurant, one of the best in Luncoln. The food, service and and atmosphere are all perfect.

Very nice food, entrance is always full of people collecting takeaways, upstairs where the seating area is it can be tight however the food makes it all worth it. Definitely will be coming back!

This restaurant imay not be big but it does deliver on good food, excellent service, at a reasonable price. Well worth the 20 minute drive to Lincoln. We will be returning very soon.

Best ambience and good place for Indian food … must visit whilst in Lincoln. Great food , good quality and good portion .

An exceptional curry house - the staff are fantastic and the food is always delicious. The best Indian food we’ve had over three years in the UK since moving from Canada. Very reasonably priced as well!

Brilliant Indian restaurant in great location. Food was amazing and service especially attentive. Small first floor restaurant with takeaway on ground floor. Booking recommended to avoid disappointment. Will go again.

Great food and lovely staff. Don't order the poppadoms, they are a rip off, everything else is great.

The food didn't taste good at all. I took my polish friend with me to make his taste Indian food but the food was super blans. No salt. It spoiled our day. Will never recommend this restaurant to any indians. The food is terribly bland! Waste of money. on explaining about the bad taste of Indian food to the staff, he kept denying us as if we were wrong. Bad experience

Went on this weekend and thought to have an experience of Indian cuisine. Ordered some recommended dishes from the menu and that was worth to remember. The food quality, the environment along with the service was really suitable for the experience.🥰

Really enjoyable meal at this stylish, friendly Indian restaurant

Everything was lovely. Good food, ambience, drinks.

Bought a chicken tikka masala tonight for collection,it was absolutely lovely,never had a takeaway from here before,it was a lovely feel when I walked in to collect with lovely polite staff. Your curry house is a credit to Indian cuisine. Thankyou

A rather quaint Indian restaurant, housed in a rustic building that one would not necessarily associate with an Indian eatery. The place was buzzing, and it felt a bit cramped and was quite loud. But the food was good, although I felt that the Tandoori Chicken I ordered for a starter was too large a piece.

Stayed in hotel nearby popped in on off chance, they managed to fit us in hadn't pre booked. Wife had Madras I had Bhuna both meals excellent, staff friendly and professional, prices seemed reasonable. Highly recommended

Very tasty food staff very pleasant If I was to return to Lincoln Definitely would return

Have had wonderful food from here in the past but our birthday takeaway for 3 tonight was hot but flavourless. So disappointed. We all had different dishes, but they were all so disappointing. Stand-in chef maybe ??

Food was fantastic and the environment was very relaxed... Also the complimentary shots at the end of the evening was a brilliant touch.

We’ve eaten in and ordered take-out and the quality is unmatched! Best Indian food we’ve ever had. Will continue to come back for more. From the rice, to the naan, to various main dishes, everything is fresh and quality; we have been impressed and delighted every time.

What a wonderful find. The food is excellent here and we enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant which is beautiful the staff are welcoming attentive and friendly. I will be making this a regular visit. Well done all at Castle View.

My friend & I Annette, came here on a Friday evening. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing & calm. The food is absolutely amazing 🤩!!! We highly recommend! I enjoyed the Tandoori chicken on the bone (lots of delicious flavours!) and I chose the coconut 🥥 rice 🍚 which was really tasty too! We were very happy overall, & will definitely return! A big thank you to all the staff xx

Always try and come here when we can - the food is great, great portion sizes, really friendly people and atmosphere - always spot on! Thank you!

the best curry we have had in ages simply wonderful

My favourite Indian restaurant in the world. It's won lots of awards, and when you eat here it's easy to see why. Friendly staff and delicious food in a building nestled against an ancient castle.

Amazing food . Such pleasant staff.

Food great. But beers are poor, frustrating when it's so easy to buy good stuff at under £2 a bottle. Beers are bland smiths or rough Indian lager. Daft to let an otherwise excellent meal down this way.

Excellent food and service. Slightly let down by the table of drunk blokes next to us but not the restaurants fault

Lovely tikka special and jalfrezzi. Always love the food here. And it was quite quiet too for a Sat night.

King prawn on the special menu is awesome 👌

Amazing food, but incredibly busy. Booked a table but still had to wait in a packed and very small reception area.

We have been here before, the food is consistently good & the staff are attentive & very pleasant. You do not have to wait long for delicious food to arrive at your table. Highly recommend

Perhaps the best Indian Restaurant in Lincoln, certainly the city centre. With location atmosphere and local pubs it make for a great night out

Fantastic all round Indian restaurant, great value and atmosphere.

Been several times.. service is spot on . The staff are very friendly. Lovely atmosphere..And the Food was Excellent.. thank you

As an avid curry eater I know what I like and believe me this was one of the best curries I've had. Daft as it sounds the Naan bread was best we have had if I had to be picky I didn't missed not having a mint chocolate with the bill but thats just me. The service was fantastic and the staff were very pleasant. Normally come to Lincoln once a year and will definitely be booking again next year. Price is very reasonable and would say well worth a visit.

Picked up a takeaway from here whilst on a mega munch and boy did it satisfy my munchy cravings. Food was top quality, customer service was awesome and waiting room is beautiful. My little stoned self was amazed at the glass table with all the different types of knots in it, nice touch 👌 Would definitely recommend and would definitely visit again next time we are passing

We had a take away. It was superb.

Possibly the most relaxed Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to quality of the food is excellent the staff here are just superb just fantastic thanks for a lovely evening

Only had take out from here but it has been superb each time. Only docked 1* for service as don’t deliver but that as much reflects my laziness as anything else

Absolutely the best curry house in Lincoln. Wonderful service, food and atmosphere and great value to boot. Amazing place !!

Best meal in Lincoln. Outstanding, food. Great location. Lovely staff.

Large range of good curry. Good sized helpings, too. We went earlyish with our two small children. The food was perfect because the kids can have milder curries or chips, naan, poppadums etc unlike in Thai restaurants.

Fabulous atmosphere. Great food. Attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

Food was amazing and the staff was fantastic definitely recommend .

Just collected a take away for the 1st time from here drove 20 minutes to get home the food was piping hot still and immense flavours genuinely the tastiest Indian meal we’ve eating from anywhere We’ve eaten once in the restaurant aswell which again delicious and full of flavours and the service was excellent Definitely recommend this amazing place

I have this as my top go to restaurant. The food is superb and served with a smile. The bare brick walls and pillars subdued lighting create an intimate effect without being claustrophobic.

Went for a meal with some friends. The takeaway for this restaurant is very busy. We arrived at 7.30pm and had to work our way through a very busy takeaway collection area. Could almost do with another entrance for the restaurant. The restaurant is on the first floor and you weren't crowded in the restaurant. The staff were very attentive and the dishes we had were very tasty. The food was reasonably priced. Would certainly go back. Advisable to book a table, like we did as it was busy.

The atmosphere, the welcome, and the food was simply stunning. The taste was sensational. Best Indian I have tasted. Will definitely return. What a meal 5*******

Very nice food hot and tasty. Plus plenty of it. Drinks are a little expensive, but tonight we did get a couple of complimentary drinks which was really nice.

The best Indian food you will ever have!

The best curry I’ve had in years. Until I visited this place, I had started to believe that all Indian restaurants were using the same sauces. Very good service too. A steep climb from the city centre to work up an appetite.

Booked a table for 19:30 but arrived a few minutes early at around 19:25 as when you book it says your table must be returned 1.5hrs after the booking so not wanting to rush we arrived with a few minutes to spare. When we arrived we were told the table would be ready in 5 minutes which was absolutely fine as we were early. Then after about 10 minutes the girl behind the counter informed us it would probably be about another 5 minutes. During this 5 minutes a group of 4 have arrived and been able to go straight to their table. Another 10 minutes passes and still nothing. We finally got shown to our table just before 8pm which I didn’t understand because when we got upstairs there were 2 tables free, 1 of which remained free for the duration of our visit and no one left whilst we were waiting. The food was ok, not the worst food I’ve ever had but certainly not the best. The chicken tikka masala sauce was more like a tomato sauce and I couldn’t really taste anything other than tomato’s, it had no real flavour. I was quite disappointed because I’ve heard such good things about this place and I was expecting more. That said, I will probably go back to give them a second chance as everyone has off days!

Very fine. Good indian starter. Shami and Sheek. Lamb Mudoori with Bombay Pototas, Kashmiri rice. Would, have to ask my friends if this is an actual meal or dish for the British. Resturant, good job. Baby Okra fingers, Stamford could just beat this. 2nd in fancy food. No packing food like salt or sugar to fill it out, hope not.

Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, the lamb badam pasanda was absolutely amazing and the sweet chilli sauce made for a delicious drink. It’s also very fairly priced for its quality, and easy 10/10, definitely going again!

Food very good. Service excellent. Price brilliant value for money

Amazingly poor customer service. After several weeks of unanswered emails, and unreturned messages, I finally got through to someone who called themselves the manager. I’ve been trying to find a venue to host regular dinner meetings for a group of business owners. I didn’t even get through my initial opening until they interrupted me, mumbled something incoherent, and hung up on me.

After so many years, still the best Indian restaurant in Lincoln. So generous with takeaway orders too.

The best Indian restaurant in Lincoln. Great staff, amazing food and not over priced.

Extremely good Indian restaurant in a beautiful building next to the castle with very friendly staff and amazing food. Award winning and easy to see why!! Really enjoyed it and I'll definitely be returning next time I'm working in Lincoln 💯

Staff were very friendly, food was excellent

I've been here a couple of times before with work and the food and service has been excellent so I decided to book it for me and my partners 5 year anniversary. I booked the table for 8pm and we were both looking forward to it all week. Drove 25 minutes to get there and arrived early at 7.55pm. Got told that our table would be ready in 10 minutes which was absolutely fine and so we waited outside. Went back in at 8.10pm and were told that the table was just being made. Waited another 10 minutes until 8.20pm and the table still wasn't ready 20 minutes after our original booking time so we decided to give up and leave. Absolutely no communication or apology from the staff. During all of this time a big group of 30 people turned up and got shown straight to their table. Obviously the restaurant will make a lot more money from 30 people than they would have from myself and my partner, so clearly we were not as welcomed or valued. Ruined our anniversary and therefore I won't be going back.

My husband and I went for a meal here after xmas as it had such goid reviews. We were sadly very disappointed. We were squashed in on a small table. We were unable to sit opposite each other as there was no room, so we had to sit next to each other on a corner. Every time someone went past, they banged into my chair. We were so close to the people on the next table. They actually joined our conversation because they thought we were talking to them. I ordered a Chicken Kurhai, it was bright red, and tasted like a chicken tikka, a really bad chicken tikka at that. Our table was booked for 7 pm. we eventually got our food at 7.50 and were expected to leave our table for 8.30. It was so noisy, it was impossible to have a conversation and extremely hot with no air filtering around the room. It was a very unpleasant experience, one we will not be repeating.

Best curry I’ve ever had. I had the korma and my boyfriend had the chefs special tikka masala and we were both blown away. Incredible food. Amazing flavours. Naan was great and was a nice addition to the curry. Great atmosphere and great service, food portions are also great size we ate enough to fill us there and then we took some home too and had enough for another meal the next day. Wonderful location , wonderful food and wonderful service. We look forward to visiting again soon !!

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time last night. We booked a table for 7 pm, waited 50 minutes to be served our main course, thank goodness for the poppadom we each had to pass the time. The restaurant was jam packed full, it’s small and way too cosy, you can hear every conversation, except your own, it’s so loud, not the atmosphere for a a special evening as a couple. We were each sat on the corner of a very small table, because there was no room to sit opposite each other, every time someone passed they banged into my chair, it was just dreadful. I ordered a chicken Kuriah, a dish I have eaten in Indian restaurants all over the world but never like this one. It was basically chicken tikka, which I do not like, with red paste over the top. It looked about as appetising as it tasted. We had high hopes of this restaurant but sadly we did not enjoy anything about it, and will not be going back. There are much nicer Indian restaurants in Lincoln.

Came on our works Christmas meal / waldo smith , second year , food and service absolutely first class , what lovely polite service, food was beautiful, huge portion, definitely recommended 😀

Reviews looked good, so I thought I would give this restaurant a go. The table booking process was easy. The food was very good indeed. In particular, my vindaloo was very spicy and tasted freshly made. Also the naan breads were great. The staff were very good and professional. Booking again for January. Loved it.

Had at least eight meals here, and they have always been exquisitely cooked, exquisitely tasty, and very nicely served. Simply great quality every single time I go here, whether it’s part of a couple or with a large group. Staff are always very friendly, intentive and not too intrusive into your meal. Cannot fault this Restaurant, please keep up the high standards and also the reasonable prices.

Food is lovely, staff are polite . Watch your bill !! Several times that we have been and have been overcharged by a minimum of £5.00. This is usually on the poppadoms and dips . Also over charged on a main . Now that's evertime we go . So if they overcharge on each table ....that is a significant amount over a week. Not good . I'd like to think it's a mistake but not sure it is ..

Decent takeaway restaurant in North Nottingham.

Excellent, try it. Suggest you book so not to be disappointed. Only 'complaint' - portions too big!

Very nice. Lovely decor, friendly service. Extremely busy but we were served quickly. Tables are for a two hour window. Enjoyed our meal very much. Starters were very generous. We will go again soon. Be aware you can only access the dining area up a narrow flight of steep steps.

A small but fantastic Indian restaurant. I’ve been coming for years now; however, this was the first visit this year, and it’s not lost its touch. I’m booking again for next month!

Lovely meal in an historic building by the castle. Tasty authentic food prepared and served by friendly, professional staff. Well worth a visit!

just outstanding one of if not the best ive been too and ive been to a lot

Wonderful food, possibly the best Indian food in Lincoln. Friendly service. Very good value too.

Lovely food, my congratulations to the Chef and the rest of the staff! Fabulous food and excellent service - so lovely to spend an evening at Chez Vous!

We visit Lincoln a couple of times a year, and have been here 4 times now. The first time was impressive and it has got even better every time since. Beautiful food with exquisite flavours. We'll be back next spring. For sure.

Wanted to check out this award winning restaurant. But was disappointed. Ordered cheese naan, gandhi special and lamb achari. All 3 cheese naan were burnt, lamb pieces were so tough instead of "tender" as described in their menu, and the gandhi special was really not nice. Maybe made the wrong choices, but still should not be getting burnt naans!

Lovely place, we keep on visiting.

A huge thank you to all the staff and management for such a beautiful meal in a lovely restaurant this evening. No wonder this place is constantly busy, both dining in and take away. We were very fortunate to bag the 5pm opening slot and the restaurant was very quickly full to capacity. There was a bit of a wait for the food to come out but it was most definitely worth the wait!! Outstanding food, excellent, friendly service and worth every penny paid. A lovely way to end our mini break to Lincoln. Congratulations to everyone at Castle View for having such a fantastic restaurant!

Gorgeous Indian food with great service. Reasonably priced.

Absolutely delightful food. What a combination of flavours. Would recommend to everyone. 10/10

Literally the best Indian I’ve ever had whatever the chefs doing in that kitchen it can only be compared to the works of renaissance painters or just plain magic 10/10

One of the best food ever I tried good staff reasonable price delicious food saag Allo with plan naan and raita class combination really enjoyed

Some incredible food and friendly staff! literally came out sizzling and very fresh. Being a massive fan of Indian food, I was not disappointed.

Fantastic restaurant, my favourite in Lincoln. Great variety of food and incredible flavours no matter what you order. I recommend getting one of the chef special dishes.

Busy Friday night but staff were brilliant. Attentive and professional. Food wasn't bad either!
