I enjoyed a lovely meal at Crendon Indian, the staff were amazing! The food came on time and was delicious (I had the tandoori mixed grill). I would highly recommend if you are in the surrounding area.

Family favourite We have been going to this family run restaurant for over 20 years. The food is always excellent and service very friendly and efficient. It is a firm favourite with the village and surrounding area. We have never been disappointed. Would recommend booking on Friday and Saturday nights

The best Indian around! The food is always amazing. We come here very regularly because it is so great! The staff are wonderful and always go out of their way to make your experience the best. We also recently organised a 60th party here and the staff went above and beyond to make it a very special occasion. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Such a friendly atmosphere, and very tasty food. They always make you feel so welcome, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. And I absolutely can’t get enough of their Bangla lager, as it goes so nicely with a Nihari curry!

Both the service and the food at Long Crendon Indian cuisine are exemplary. The tandoori chicken is amongst the best I have ever had. I have eaten in and also had food delivered from this venue and all of it has been first class. They have great attention to detail and nothing seems to be too much trouble. In summary, this is a great village restaurant we are lucky to have on our doorstep. Keep up the good work and I look forward to our next visit which I am sure will be soon.

Worst Indian in Buckinghamshire The manager is so rude and the food awful. The chicken is cooked average 5-6 days in advanced and reheated so it's lovely and tough and inedible. Don't think about commenting on the food quality because the manager will just admit it's reheated rubbish and other restaurants in Bucks will cook it fresh.

Disappointed again….. 2nd visit in 3 weeks after giving them the benefit of the doubt for the previous meal, which was a big mistake. When paying the bill, it was obvious that the staff already knew the food and service was well below what was being charged for and this actually made the situation worse given that they were willing to charge normal prices for sub-standard offering until challenged….. that is just sneaky, unprofessional and cheap. Paid the bill but will not every return.

This was our first visit. We had a great lunch with very helpful and willing staff. The food was excellent and the two children enjoyed various options as well. We shared some starters, most of us ordered different mains, a few side dishes and some naans and different rices. We shall definitely go there again and will recommend it to our friends. We noticed that they have a banquet night which looked as if it was really good value and we shall try that as well. Our waiter suggested we should book for that because it gets quite busy. They also do take aways; good to know!

We spontaneously ordered takeaway from Crendon Indian Cuisine when we realised our favourite Thai was shut and we had no food at home. (Whoops!) We had a chicken Korma, a chicken Tikka Masala, the Pilau rice, and a garlic naan. The most palatable thing out of the bunch was the naan and it was, at best, supermarket quality. (And very small!) The curries were were disturbingly bright in colour and neither tasted like they were made for anyone who has eaten a good quality Indian curry. I felt like I was eating an Americanised fast-food curry with added sugar. The Korma was edible but excessively sweet. The Tikka Masala we had to throw out. The Pilau rice was also unlike any Pilau rice we've ever ordered elsewhere. I'm sure there are people who like the flavour palate this restaurant provides, and perhaps they do a better job of their more spicy dishes, but if you like a traditional Tikka or Korma, this is definitely not the place for you!

While the food is reasonable, we wanted a simple take away delivered for 2 people, the distance is approx 2 miles, last week they delivered and it was a reasonable price, tonight i have just phoned up for a repeat order and they want to significantly increase the price for delivery, we know of three restaurants that are based in Risborough that offer great food and reasonable delivery charges. The guy i spoke to tonight did not seem at all bothered that i would be taking my business to another local establishment, bearing in mind that we order at least 2-3 delivery's per week and often have large family & friends get togethers for weekends.

We don’t usually venture out of Bicester for an Indian, however this one is owned by a relative of the guy next door and we decided to give it a try. It’s a small cosy restaurant and the service is excellent. The food was lovely and there was a lot to choose from. I don’t like anything too spicy and the chicken peshwari was just perfect. I sampled the duck tikka that my husband ordered and it was lovely, perfectly cooked and very tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes good Indian food and top class service.

Went here yesterday with family..I had the crendon chicken tikka masala. The chicken tikka was very dry and the sauce I thought was quite hot. I am not big fan of hot and spicy foods. I did not want to complain as I find it embarrassing I was also super hungry. The onion bajis that my bf had were to dye for for crispy. His dish which I think was called Arduha chicken was sweet but very nice.Staff are all friendly, smiley and welcoming.Would happily go back again but maybe try another dish that is more mild.

I'm so shocked as to how we were treated here. We ordered popadoms and our drinks, my husband ordered a pint. We then placed an order for a starter to share, a main course to share with naan and rice. The waiter then advised we had to have a main course each as well as a starter, but we just weren't hungry enough, we tried to explain this but he was insistent. So we decided to leave and just pay for the popadoms and drinks. When we got the bill it seemed quite high. This was because even though on the menu it states you can have a pint of Kingfisher you can only have a bottle which costs more! We asked him why he didn't tell us this at the time and he said we should have known?? We paid the bill and left advising him we were going to put a review on here. He said he didn't care as has lots of customers. This was on a Monday and were the only people in there. We won't be going back!

Got a takeaway from here on a Saturday night, the curry itself was nice (I got the chicken pasanda) and I really enjoyed it. However, the Peshwari naan wasn't great, wasn't very coconutty and was cold by the time we got home. The onion bhajis were kind of soggy too as it they're been reheated.. I'd come back to try the food whilst eating at the restaurant but I don't think I'd order takeaway again.

This place is nothing special. The food is pretty tasty but very samey if you go for the Sunday lunch buffet. But, to be fair, the staff are friendly and courteous and always attentive to your needs. The drinks are slightly limited with only one decent beer, no cider and the fizzy drinks are often flat as they clearly come from a bottle behind the bar. One thing I would say about this place, which is a personal favourite of mine, is that they have lovely cutlery! Don't expect a slap up meal from here but if you go with expectations of fairly decent food at pretty reasonable prices then it won't disappoint.

Ordered and collected a takeaway for the first time.The food was decent enough for takeaway, but nothing special. The price was rather expensive - £0.70p for a papadum and also a charge for each of the related dips and sundries. Unimpressed.However, the main talking point of the meal came about when I bit into a mouthful and came into contact with a small stone (looks like pea gravel, about the size of a small pea). A trip to the dentist is now booked and I shall be looking elsewhere for my next Indian takeaway.When the staff were confronted the next day the most they felt they could do was apologise and offer a £20 voucher, which will never be used. Perhaps AVDC Environmental Health might give the matter a touch more concern. I was lucky not to crush a tooth on impact.The food is certainly not worth risking dental health for, and could still cost a significant amount of money to remedy.

This restaurant is definitely average. The food was nice, although nothing special. The service was slow, when the retaurant was almost empty (it was a Sunday evening). We ordered several side dishes to have together, slightly concerned that we may have over ordered. We need not have worried, as the portions are decidely on the small side. There were Indian wines on the menu, so I thought it would be good to try one. I ordered the Indian Soul Tree rose wine, but it was horrible, with a sweet, chemical taste. I mentioned to the manager how horrible it was but he wasn't interested; I didn't drink it. He didn't offer a glass of a different wine, which would have been a very nice gesture, he just shrugged. If the food or the service had been wonderful, I would have considered going back another time, as the village is absolutely charming, but it was all so mediocre that I wouldn't consider it.

We ordered a takeway for four from this restaurant, to start with it was not ready on time and we had to wait. Then when we got it back the starters were lukewarm, the sheekh kebabs were bland as were the onion Bhajis, the chicken chat was tasty though. The main courses again disappointed, they were very ordinary and uninspiring, no chillies in the Jalfrezi. We had read some great reviews and heard a lot about this place but on our experience it is overhyped. We eat indian foo a few times a week and all four of us were disappointed with the food, would not recommend, pricey too for what it is.

This High Street Take Away and Restaurant offers an extensive menu and is rarely too busy for the spontaneous..."I just feel like a Curry" night.

Incidentally, parking is easy so the location in Long Crendon is very convenient.The friendly staff offer a wide choice of meal, a pleasant environment, decent prices and great portions using good ingredients. Meals are well presented for convenience of takeaway, retaining their heat and flavour until you get home. Speed of service was excellent even though I had not pre-ordered.In short, go for it; you will not be disappointed.

the service was good to start with and the food came out quickly, but the chicken wasn't the best, plenty of grizzle and quite tough. When I told the waiter, he proceeded to cut up the chicken that I had left and said it was fine, completely ignoring my comments, but he also said it loudly so other could hear it. Not not I expect from any restaurant, especially not when I'm paying £40 for the meal. Disappointing really.

I did expect a little more; but only because people say such great things about the place. To be fair the service was excellent, so 5 stars for that. Attentive; but we were not rushed through dinner. The food I have mixed feelings on. I ordered a great main dish (in fact the waiter as I ordered said I had chosen well- it was off the specials); but then my side was borderline unpleasant (chana masala). I did think the portion sizes were good; and the food did not leave you with that over full feeling you can get sometimes. As an evening out, we had a great time; but from a food point of view, given the number of options for similar food in the area; I will probably go elsewhere next time.

We ordered fish fry as starter, Naan bread, special fried rice , garlic chicken and fish karahi. Fish karahi was not nice at all, very smelly too. Special fried wasn't great, Naan bread was very good and garlic chicken wasn't bad. The staff weren't very happy when I asked them to take the fish karahi back and I was told that they sold five portion of the same and it all tasted the same and no one complained. My advice, if you go there for food, think twice before ordering fish karahi.

I pass this restaurant on my way to work and thought I'd try it, I was very impressed. The food was fantastic and the waiters were very attentive. I will definitely be retuning!

We felt like something tasty after the Christmas indulgences. We had not been here for a while and we were not disappointed. The service was attentive, not rushed and not slow. The meal was refreshingly tasty and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. We live in one of the local villages and will definitely be returning for more of the same very soon.

Visited this place for a family meal and have to say the service was unbelievably slow. Yes the restaurant was busy, but it took them almost 30 minutes to even take our order. We arrived before 8 and it wasn't until gone 9.30 that we got our main course.Good was nice enough, although I wouldn't say out of this world or special enough to justify the wait.Wouldn't visit again, the Indian in Thame is much better and significantly better service!

I take my wife here for a meal regularly. My wife likes mildly spiced meals whilst I prefer a genuine, tasty, spice experience with a bit of a kick. These guys provide both to a high standard and provide really good meals. They are happy to discuss your preferences, suggest and explain dishes, then produce the goods quickly and with great service. I have travelled very extensively throughout my career and have been lucky to have eaten at a number of the very top restaurants - as well as some of the other, less memorable ones. Suffice to say that I am fortunate to have one as good as this close by.

I occasionally drop by for a takeaway and have to say the food is good but the wait is interminable - don't be in a hurry and if, as I do, you order ahead, still be prepared to wait at least another 20 minutes from the time you are given. Staff are polite but by no means welcoming and I don't ever remember an apology for their lateness. My last visit was when the Thame fair was in town and perhaps, they would be busier than normal, however having phoned ahead, I do expect the food to be ready when I turn up at a time they have given.There are plenty of other great Indians around and service tends to be more welcoming

We have been here before and had a couple of ok meals, second time one meal had to be returned and a replacement meal supplied, which was not much better, but on Friday night 19 September 2014, called in for a take away, very busy staff were pleasant, the order was taken quickly. That was the best bit, 50 minuets later our food was ready to take home, We are both veggies. The meal was bland and tasteless the rice was hard and before I had finished my tummy seemed to be blowing up and I spent the night burping and farting, Between us we didn't eat one third of the meal, Worst meal I have ever bought. Called in next evening to complain, no offer to reimburse, won't be retuning,

We have visited this restaurant twice now and both times I have been impressed with the food, the service and generally the feel of this restaurant. For years we have always gone to the Chadnis in Waddesdon, but have noticed a gradual decline there and the last twice it was obvious that the same base had been used for all the sauces as everything tasted the same. What a massive difference here. The food was beautifully presented and cooked with wonderful aromatic flavours and natural colours. The poppadoms and the tandoori chicken, in particular, were excellent, but I can't fault any of the dishes that I tasted on both occasions. Service was good, everything looked clean and crisp, temperature and seating in the restaurant was comfortable and appropriate background music played. We all loved it and would happily go back again!

There are several Indian restaurants in nearby Thame, but none of them serve food as tasty as Crendon Indian Cuisine. I have been here many times over the years and have never had anything other than good experiences. The Pathia and Passanda are outstanding! Service is also first class. My two minor gripes would be that prices are around 10-20% higher than many in the area and the dining room, whilst neat and tidy, is a little soulless. This place delivers in all important aspects though. Very good.

We booked a table for six to celebrate a friends birthday. We had never been before and was looking forward to our night out. Unfortunately it wasn't good,the food actually was lovely but the staff and service let the place down. Our waiter looked as if he'd rather be anywhere than serving us, we had to remind them about our drinks we'd ordered and then go and get our own wine menu, we were there over half an hour before our food order was taken. Once the food arrived it was well presented and very tasty but will not be going back as there are better Indian restaurants around with staff that actually make for a pleasant evening.

Been here many many times over the years, even ate here when it was a Chinese restaurant! Food is always good and we have never had a service problem.it does get busy so best to book towards weekends. Another plus it is always easy to park opposite and the shop over the road open for a late bottle of wine!

Simply put. The best Curry in Buckingham and Winslow. I've eaten curry all over North Bucks and beyond and this is hands down the best.
