Curry Corner in Cheltenham

Really nice food. Got a rake away and driver had real difficulty finding the house. When it came the portion sizes were smaller than I imagined Food was very tasty. 4 samosas, a starter and a naan bread, £29? Its too much

A lovely gem of a restaurant, the food was delicious and the service excellent. Unusually for an Indian restaurant the desserts were scrummy as well as the mains. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is without doubt the best Bangladeshi restaurant in the UK. The food is nothing like the run of the mill Indian food you’re probably used to, this is the ‘real deal’ authentic Indian food. We had such a warm welcome and friendly, professional service by our wonderful waiters throughout our time there, the food was cooked to perfection, presented beautifully and at a perfect pace. Chefs Sam & Monrusha really clearly care about the food they produce, this is evident as they source the very best local ingredients, cook and present each dish to create a perfect experience. We were delighted to hear that they have just achieved their AA** award. Congratulations to all the team, we can’t wait to return for yet another fabulous evening. 👏🏻

Amazing food, incredible mango lahsi 🍹 can't believe it's taken me so long to visit! I was very sad to see that the restaurant wasn't very busy given that it was a Friday night. I hope more people come over to enjoy their delicious dishes - it's worth it!

Superb food, super fast service and lovely atmosphere

Curry Corner reins supreme after 47 years. No other restaurant in Cheltenham comes anywhere close to this in quality & taste. Absolutely delicious food busting with flavour upon flavour, delicious range of excellent drinks to accompany- we didn’t miss alcohol, it’s even without alcohol. We had Chotpoti, somosa & alo chaat to start with, then we lamb shank, Chicken makhani, most amazing Pasanda ever and king prawn garlic & coriander delight. The naan is fluffy and light . We also had Iranian pistachio and chocolate ice cream, gulab jamun and poached fruit . Ended with masala chaa & green. Highly recommend & can’t wait to go back.

This is more than a curry house, it's a lovely culinary experience. Great ambience, warm welcome, wide menu with locally sourced ingredients, attentive service, beautiful serving dishes, and the food - absolutely spot on. The price was right for the quality experience.

Just had a takeaway ..so can't rate Atmosphere..service was spot on as the meal was ready on time.. disappointed with the food though 😕 £33 for 2 x curries isn't cheap so was expecting something special and we didn't get it!! 1st visit there probably the last..shame but I've had better. Sorry just telling the truth.

We visited this lovely restaurant yesterday for dinner. My husband had been here over 30 years ago and found his love for curry and so wanted to reminisce and we were so surprised to find that Sam the chef had been there since the day it opened. The food was delicious ( going in our top 3) and the staff were very friendly and very efficient. This little gem of a restaurant is a little walk from Cheltenham town centre and is so worth a visit !! We will be back when we next visit Cheltenham.. but we won’t leave it 30+ years!

Ordered chicken balti. It was so spicy, could not eat. Seemingly they forgot to mention that it had 'morch' which means chilli and the result is ..unless you like vindaloo forget it. The response was sorry, not our fault !!

Really tasty & delicious authentic food. Attentive service & great non-alcoholic drinks. There were three of us in the party & my adult sons who are not shy of eating out, thought it was the best food they'd eaten out for a long time.

Exquisite Bangladeshi cuisine - excellent service - a lovely experience.

Amazing authentic food with is organic and healthy. Service was fantastic! The place is well designed and important things you got quality food with is guarantee with is they won 50 awards in the UK! Highly recommend! 10/10

Excellent small family-run restaurant which we tried as it was close to our hotel. Lovely interior decor, very friendly proprietors and staff and delicious food, with several choices that we’d not seen before. The kulfi (dessert) in particular was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Should we return to Cheltenham we’ll know where to eat!

A hidden gem, on arrival greeted with a warm friendly approach. Menu choice is extremely good. Hubby had sweet spicy honey chicken. I had chicken passanda which was the nicest we have both had. Different choice of naan breads. We chose date and honey and pastacio and coconut and they didn't disappoint yummy. Overall experience was 5 star even the chef of 47 years popped out to see if we were enjoying our food. Very friendly waiter. We will be back with friends. Only regret was I didn't have room for a home made ice-cream, will definitely try on our return.

Shame they don't serve alcohol nor can you bring your own in. They do tell you though when booking to be fair, so we went to Eurasia down the road instead

Best in area comes highly recommend by Gordon Ramsay, two AA rosets and Michelin guide very good food very reasonably priced hidden gem, 10 percent discount for cash on takeaway. Very good tikka varieties.

What a hidden gem. There were 7 of us and we all had great food. I had the Garlic and coriander chicken, really delicious. To finish I had a mango and coconut, unsweetened, lassi.

This place serves the most authentic Indian food you can find anywhere! What this place is good at is sticking to its roots, cooking authentic dishes that are far removed from the average curry house. We received a lovely warm welcome, order was taken by our lovely waiter who even told us the background of the type of foods we were eating. The meal was so beautifully prepared and presented that we all felt that it was in someways ritualistic, so wonderful to watch. The place has a lovely atmosphere with comfortable furnishings that adds to the experience. We can’t thank Dad, Monrusha and Shamsul enough for a superb evening. We’ll be back asap! 🩵🙏🏼🩵

Lovely restaurant, a warm welcome as soon as we arrived. All the staff we met were polite and friendly. I had dinner with my mother. She had king prawn dansak I had the jalfrezi. Prawns were fresh and bouncy, sauces were flavourful and delicious, not oily in any way. We also had 2 lassi’s to drink, some sides, a honey and pistachio naan and a peshwari naan, both fantastic! The Interior itself is very charming and my mother loved the music too! Looking forward to going back.

We thought we'd have a night away, what better way to choose a location based on remarkable restaurant reviews. Given the Curry Corner was runner up in Ramsay's Best Indian restaurant we hoped we were in for a treat. Curry is definitely the dish we eat out most, indulging at least once per week. On arrival at the restaurant we received a warm welcome and guided to our table. I was slightly surprised by the low number of diners but hoped that would mean food would be quick. Whilst not the longest wait it took probably 30 minutes to produce the starters. The starter selection was good, individual dishes not usually seen on other menus. The Chot Potti and King Prawn Poori were excellent. Freshly cooked prawns were delicious and well presented. The mains we chose were the signature 1977 Tikka Masala and a Chicken Biryani. Usually I'd go for a slightly hotter than mild curry but thought I'd try the signature. The Tikka Masala did have a nice spice however the sauce was a tad watery and would probably have benefitted from some butter or longer cooking of the base sauce. The biryani was a bit dry. We had some interesting accompaniments. Butternut squash & Bindi bhajis as well as two naans, one Date and coconut and a garlic naan. The squash bhaji lacked flavor or seasoning. I was hoping for something similar to a pumpkin bhaji I order at another restaurant. The naans were a bit confusing. The garlic naan was sweet and not garlic like, the date naan didn't seem to have many dates in-fact they were difficult to distinguish between them. There was nothing really bad about the dining experience other than to say it was average and not amazing.

A lovely meal and the best curry I've had in a long time. Great service too.

I celebrated my girlfriend's birthday at Curry Corner, where we had an amazing food experience. Being a vegetarian, she thoroughly enjoyed the vegetable samosas and aubergine jhol. She absolutely loved it. I opted for the Lamb Shank, which was incredible and even praised by Gordon Ramsay. She had the salty lassi, while I chose the mango and coconut lassi, both of which complemented our meal perfectly. For dessert, we savored Iranian pistachio & Chocolate kulfi and Golab jamun, providing the perfect ending to our meal. The staff was friendly, and if you're a foodie, Curry Corner is a must-visit.

I have been born & bought up in Cheltenham , been coming to Curry corner for generations , it is still our family's favourite restaurant . We had dinner tonight and the whole family agree it is still epic - our food was excellent, absolutely delicious, beautiful presentation & hospitable hosts. We had the chotpoti, Chicken chat and Alo chat as starters ,these were sooo delicious. We also had Chicken makhani and Auberginejol and Moza beef for main courses. We had nan. and vegetables dishes , these are great. Cannot wait to go again.

I am fussy about food, but this is the best curry in Britain. Go there immediately.

Freshly cooked dishes - family run - amazing food - the best in Cheltenham, Tantalising, individual spice tastes - as good as Prithvi without the pretension Been running for years and still as good as when they started. Originally nominated as the best Indian cuisine out of London

Absolutely great food. Polite staff ... nothing more you could ask from this great restaurant

Really amazing curry, great price and staff. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible food. The best Indian food i have had for a long time. Beautifully blended spices and really great portion sizes. Will be back again and thoroughly recommend.

Scammers. Just rang pretending to be from three mobile

Amazing place, fantastic food and great service! We have just had the loveliest dining experience at The Curry Corner. The food was absolutely delicious. Fresh and flavourful. The service was superb, really friendly and attentive. We would definitely recommend this place and will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

I have been using the Curry corner for over 30 years and have never been disappointed, which in my opinion cannot be matched? The flavours are amazing!

Just discovered a secret hidden gem , I had the Chotpoti which is very very delicious , The flavour in the curry is amazing and sooo fresh.You all can taste the freshness Had traditional Masala Tea and Lassi which are so authentic and perfect. Cannot wait till the next time I visit Curry corner again. Highly recommended .

Great food, Great service, Nice and calm relaxing atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

Great food. Great service. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. I have visited there with few of my friends. We absolutely loved it. Definitely going back.

Nice restaurant, service very good but food just average. Afghani Sheek Kebab was fatty and gristly. The Lamb Madras was good and the lamb very tender. The Chicken Tikka Masala was not like a usual chicken Tikka Masala. Lots of sauce but lacking in meat like most dishes. This restaurant does not serve alcohol and you can’t bring your own. We were asked if we would like still or sparkling water when seated. The waiter brought a bottle of water which barely gave us a glass each. I noticed on the bill it was £6!!!! It’s ok but I wouldn’t go back.

Items not available. Our dinner of poppadoms, 2 starters & 3 mains took over 2. 5 hours. Kids chips were the tastiest food

Went on a very quiet Tuesday. They don't serve alcohol and can't take any in. Food amazing but service was slow. Took over an hour for mains to arrive but it was worth the wait. Enough to take some home. Recommend the keema rice

Just for a takeaway. Not as tasty as usual.

The Curry Corner is a lovely friendly restaurant the food is fantastic ,we are definitely going back soon

Waited over an hour for our food. The Naga was the hottest curry we had in 55 years and could not eat any other food after that. The other other food was very good. We were invited by good friends, but we will not come here again. When we complained about the severe hotness of the naga and the long waiting times, the manager said “sorry”. The manager was not interested in my feedback. The owner came over and then simply refused to take any of our complaints on board. “I have been running this business for 30 years and I do not need your business”. If it was my restaurant, I would have handled over complaints so differently. Anyone visiting Cheltenham, please do come and dine here. We will not come again sadly.

Worst service I am never going there ever again. The food is a disgrace I was waiting 40 minutes for my food and when it arrived it was the wrong food and I didn’t realise until I’d got home. I traveled 15 minutes and they told me well you do have the right food, but if you’re not happy you can come back and get your korma. They gave me masala sauce and I asked for korma. They said to come back and get your Korma we are busy. never go back….

We’ve just had the most delicious curry at Curry Corner. This is authentic Indian cuisine made with beautifully fresh ingredients. The curry’s have texture and have lots of flavour. We don’t normally opt for deserts after having a curry but since our little boy was with us, he wanted to try their ice-cream and OMG it’s incredible. The pistachio ice-cream is unbelievable, in fact so good I told the owner she should have a little ice-cream stall too. Just to add they are all homemade. We went on to try the orange and coconut too and they were equally as good. The service throughout was warm and welcoming too. All in all a lovely dinner out and we will return again. Thank you Curry Corner

Ordered a huge takeaway for a family birthday. Discussed the order a few days before. Such good customer service and attentively dealt with all allergies and preferences. The food arrived on time and was all piping hot (impressive given how much there was). Quality of the food was excellent and they even got in touch to make sure everything was ok. Will order from here again for small and large orders.

Exceptional service. Menu and food. Although the restaurant is a .5 of a mile outside of the town centre, the walk is more than compensate for by the quality of the food. If you are an Indian food lover, then please visit and sample their food.

We went there on a Wednesday evening and the place was deserted (literally just our table) which gave of a weird vibe. Staff was friendly with excellent attention to detail. Food was amazing so definitely recommended but maybe advised to go on a bit of a busier night.

We had a takeaway from the curry corner for a treat and it was disappointing. All three were vegetarian/vegan and the a mix of flavours but all lacked substance. They had little muted vegetable content and were smoothed in sauce. The flavours were excellent but lacked crunch. Would I do it again. No. Too many alternatives to choose from who have upped their game and produce better meals

Went here to celebrate our daughters birthday and engagement. The restaurant setting is very pleasant and the atmosphere and service is perfect , nice to not be rushed in anyway .The star of the show is the food which was full of flavour and fantastically cooked .Very impressed and sure to return.

Wonderful meal here. Food is a cut above the usual. Service perfect and flavours fantastic. Hopefully this restaurant will get busy again it was a little quiet but hopefully reviews like this will get the crowds in. A dining experience not to be missed

Love the food from Curry Corner. We have eaten in and ordered a takeaway The standard is very high. Everything has depth and freshness to it. The guys who work here are really welcoming. Perfect !

Chef/Manager advised that king prawns are supposed to be of a chewy/rubbery texture even after I explained I wasn’t able to eat it. He wouldn’t change the dish for an alternative or provide a refund. Absolutely disgusting service. Will not be returning.

Absolutely amazing, couldn't recommend enough

Best place to have indian food amazing love to visit again 🥰🥰

Although the food was very good, service was very slow and we were kept waiting for a very long time with without an apology. When we sat down initially we ordered two jugs of water but these didn't arrive, 15 minutes later we ordered two more from a different waiter which did arrive after a while. We waited a long time for out starters and even longer for our main courses. I would suggest you only try this restaurant if you are very patient. Incidentally this is a strictly no alcohol establishment.

Curry Corner has only been serving take-aways since the start of the pandemic but we recently heard on the grapevine that it is open again for dinner. We used to eat here regularly and believed it was the best Indian restaurant in Cheltenham and so we booked for dinner here on Saturday. We were not disappointed. The food is just as brilliant as ever, the menu is unchanged and the prices are extremely reasonable. My only criticism is that the welcome and front of house service is very poor (it always was!) but it is worth putting up with this for the unique and superb food. And the excellent value.

I ordered takeaway at 18.20 with an eta of 19.40. When I rang at 20.00 to ask where it was I was told it was “busy”. Don’t bother, man y better places in Cheltenham. It still hasn’t arrived btw, at 20.15.

Unreal food. The speciality lamb shank is heavenly

Dreadful customer service. Got our order completely wrong and then tried to blame us for their god awful service. Waited 35 mins for starters and the mains came whilst they still hadn’t cleared the starter plates. Had a full argument with the owner in the reception. Embarrassing behaviour!! Absolutely avoid at all costs.

Could not fault the food, extremely good and well presented. Staff very welcoming and nothing too much trouble.

Gorgeous food. Great service. Don't let the lack of alcohol put you off. 6 people, 6 different meals and all great.

Ordered the night before for New Year's Eve and had to wait 15 mins outside when I turned up on the night! But the main problem we had was that the garlic chilli chicken and also the longhorn beef rogan josh were very, very salty. It was so bad my wife couldn't eat it and I struggled. I phoned immediately to let them know this and was just thanked for informing them. I was also told that they hadn't had this problem before, but I see from a previous comment here that this isn't true. It has happened before, which is poor customer service, in my mind. It put a real dampner on our New Year's Eve night as we had really been looking forward to it. It's such a shame, as we have ordered here for special curry nights before and it's always been of the highest quality, but we will now try a few other curry restaurants before revisiting again. ☹️

This has to be one of the best food experiences in Cheltenham, they say they only use fresh ingredients and that comes through in the flavour of the dishes, amazing ingredients and amazingly cooked. The chotpotti is one of my favourites but every dish I have tried has always been perfect.

We ate here years ago and were only moderately impressed. However, we returned for a takeaway last night and it was faultless. The curried lamb shank, in particular, was excellent. The meal was also made to the minute of the pre-booked collection time, so was piping hot, which isn't our experience with deliveries.

Expensive but the standard is very poor. We couldn’t finish the starters (tasteless) and one curry sauce was so salty we couldn’t eat it. Over priced & poor quality.

I've not actually bene into this restaurant yet, but we plan to go soon. We have however ordered through Deliveroo about 4 or 5 times, and it’s always amazing! In terms of mid-range price Indian food, i would say this is the best. You can tell the meat is good quality and the taste is amazing. Personally I love the King Prawn Luchi Poori and the Special Tikka Masala. Worth trying.

Tried this place because of the good reviews and I was equally amazed by the excellent food here. I ordered the new chilli chicken curry recipe as a takeaway and was blown away by how good the food was. This was hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have eaten at. The service was very friendly, you could tell that it's a family business, warm hearted, good people. Will order again soon.

Nice flavour but hardly any meat in any of the dishes , sad as it’s usually good , sign of the times with places trying to save money looks like .

Our delivery order took 2.5 hours to arrive, after 1 hour we had a delay notice so we called to ask if we could cancel the order because we had children waiting up, we were told we couldn't as the driver had already left, we called back 30 mins later and were told the driver was leaving in 5mins, after a further 30 mins we called again and told the driver left 5 mins ago, after another 30 mins the food arrived (we live 12 mins away) the order was incomplete when it arrived, I tried to call back 3 times but the restaurant was not answering the phone so I gave up.

Edited this review since and must say food has been lovely. Credit where it is due.

Placed order on their own website. Money came out of account (almost £60) but they said that they hadn’t received my order. Called up to explain the situation and was told very rudely that there was nothing they could do. I went into the restaurant to get further clarification and a better explanation to be told the same thing- there was nothing they could do and that it wasn’t their responsibility, even though the order was placed on their website! The lady who I spoke to in store was rude and abusive, saying I was “paranoid” and that I’m “obviously a paranoid person” because I I was worried I wasn’t going to receive a refund for the food I had paid for. Never ever again. Such a shame as I like giving my money to small businesses, especially after Covid but I certainly will not be visiting again.

The best most consistently excellent restaurant in Cheltenham.

This was the best Indian takeaway that we’ve had in a long time. Excellent quality of food. The meat samosas in particular were the best I’ve had. Highly recommend!

Amazing! We were recommended to try this place by my father who spoke very highly of the food. I can honestly say it’s THE BEST Indian food I have had. Very efficient delivery, numbered packaging to avoid missing items & of course, delicious food! Thank you

We were staying in an excellent Airbnb very close to the restaurant and Curry Corner was a recommend from the host. Due to Covid restrictions we could only order a takeaway and so glad we did. Slightly more expensive than the average curry house but definitely worth it as this is not your average curry house. Exciting menu, beautifully cooked, with fresh ingredients. Fabulous family owned and run Restaurant. Excellent value for money due to the quality of the dishes. Highly recommended. Only wish I lived locally to order regularly.

Good. But they could have put a bit more chicken in their dishes.

We ordered a takeaway two weeks ago. It was simply the best/tastiest and most authentic curry we have had in Gloucestershire. Ordering over the phone was easy and the chefs altered meals to accommodate a vegan eater. The lamb shank was succulent and had so...

When I want to treat the family or impress friends, we use the Curry Corner. The food is always of the highest standard and quality and the service is super friendly. The family feel is evident in every corner. Try it, you will love it.

The best pickle tray and poppadoms. Followed by an excellent onion bhai with a fresh salad. The main course tandoori mix was excellent. The wealth of experience shines threw in this top drawer dining experience. Thank yiu

Fantastic food, and the attention paid to our allergy requests meant so much. We'll be eating with the Curry Corner again!

Ordered a take away for 4 people, and will not be doing so again. There were not any covid safety measures in place ie no masks on any of the staff, or any available hand gel. Not only were we overcharged but some other customers...

Fantastic, food service brilliant, what can i say , just try it , fabulous,

Wow wow and more wows. My partner and I had the best Indian meal I have ever eaten. Thank you to all the staff for a all round five star experience. The restaurant is open for take away or eat in. Don't let the CV19 stop you enjoying excellent food.

Top notch Bangladeshi cuisine. The King Prawn Dansak and 16 Spice Masala King Prawn were both epic, along with the Mushroom rice and Datw and Coconut Naan. Highly recommended.

No contest this is by far the best restaurant in Cheltenham and for many many miles. Food is prepared with love and care and the kind of skill that is so rare you will be lucky to experience this. High quality ingredients , no corners...

The food here is amazing. A twist on normal Indian restaurants. Definitely a Michelin twist and a bit upmarket. I had the signature masala (chicken). We’ve known this place for 40 years and Sham and his daughter. Prices reasonable too

Not as great as it once was. Now just a slightly better than average Indian restaurant. Menu and drinks options could benefit from an overhaul
