Curry Cottage in East Devon

Had my first meal from here tonight. A take away. It was Devine and more than enough for me to eat. I’ll be going there on a regular basis from now on

Excellent quality food, can't recommend enough Great environment and value for money

Visited during a recent holiday to Exmouth. Food is so tasty and delicious, and friendly service. You can BYO alcohol. On a Wednesday they do a meal deal for £15.95. The food was so good we went again and when next in the area we'll be making another visit.

Great food and service. So good we visited twice during our stay in Exmouth. Friendly staff, food really tasty and generous portions. They also do a great meal offer on a Wednesday at £15.95. Bring your own alcohol restaurant. Will visit again when next in the area.

Our first visit , recommended to go by our friends, and we were delighted . Spotlessly clean with beautiful white linen tablecloths and napkins Relaxing environment , great service , and absolutely delicious food . We will definitely go again and would not hesitate to recommend it

Well with service we received and food was so delicious we honestly would have given them more. The wife and I have always been treated well by odean and his staff it’s nice to get good service very good food. The portions were really big for my wife so tomorrow’s dinner it is then. We wish to thank curry cottage for giving us a great evening with great food plus greater service.

Exceptional quality, excellent service, great value. We are looking forward to our return. Brilliant! Top choice! Keep it up.

All was very amenable from arrival to settling the bill. Starters for two are substantial and delicious. I could recommend the Biriani and Pathia, both were excellent.

The menu was extensive, the service excellent and the food was tasty, well cooked and really good value. We all enjoyed our dishes and the portions were generous

We visited on Saturday night as a party of 5, we have visited so many Indian restaurants over the years. We all agreed that this was one of the nicest Indian meals we have had! The food is so fresh, the chicken in the curries was so soft and so much of it! The portions were huge! The service we received was brilliant, the waiters could not do enough for us all! Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again if we come to Devon again!

The restaurant is located right in the centre of Exmouth , close to the main square. The restaurant was quiet which is surprising because the food was excellent. The Chicken Rogan and the Keema Nan was the best I have had in years. The Nan was light, the filling very tasty compared to many others. The portions were very generous and for once I failed to finish everything. Excellent food, excellent service, I couldn’t fault anything

We got a takeaway delivery from here and the food was really good, it was very reasonably priced, and it arrived piping hot. Would highly recommend

Lovely food , had takeaway delivery and certainly was not disappointed. Portions very generous and arrived piping hot. Would recommend

Great food, friendly and professional service. Excellent value for money

Had the Wednesday evening offer which was excellent value. Food was delicious and service was very good. No alcohol licence so bring your own - they provide the glasses and open it for you. Will definitely return when we next visit Exmouth.

The second time we've eaten here on a Wednesday evening, possibly the best Indian meals we've ever had. Thank you.

Was great for about a year, Then on 2 occasions over two weeks we both had bad diarrhoea about an hour after eating it. After the diarrhoea stop eventually that evening and returned to solid. I Ate the rest to prove it was the curry, And sure enough the diarrhoea returned. Shame it was a good curry house to start with

A long way from home.... came to Devon for a holiday! Came across this Gem in Exmouth Absolutely perfect evening! Staff very friendly, attentive and welcoming The food was fantastic! The Tawa Lamb was amazing!!! Definitely coming back!!

I had the king prawn puri to start and it didn't dissapoint. Very tasty with a nice little spice kick. I didn't know it was a Bring Your Own as they don't sell alcohol. Worth knowing in advance. Nice and clean. Friendly staff. Very accommodating. Loved it. Worth a visit.

Excellent service, amazing food and overall a fantastic experience.. highly recommended

Went Saturday evening very accommodating friendly service and the food was delicious!

What a wonderful little find in Exmouth. We booked a table here for an early evening curry on a Friday Night. From the moment we arrived the service was impeccable even to the point that they come over to open the door when you are about to leave. The curry itself was one of the best we have had and nothing was left at the end. They don't serve alcohol so you can bring your own drinks which in all honesty makes it a cheaper night out without compromising on the quality. We are not curry connoisseurs so mainly stuck to the usual Tikka Masala but they were so tasty and such a vibrant colour of red. Cannot recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back.

Food was extremely nice and service very good. Really liked the lighting and the colour on the walls gave off a lovely ambience

Best korma I have ever tasted . Everyone was so friendly and a lovely man gave us a beer the staff were helpful polite and really friendly all the food tasted amazing will definitely be coming back 😊

First time ordering ...Lovely food and good amount of meat . Did have to reheat curries as a bit too cool to eat Will definitely order again

Collected a takeaway, absolutely dreadful

Felt so relaxed the staff were lovely never rushed us, made us very welcome, and very reasonably priced. Meal was delicious

Felt very welcoming on entering. Shown to our table promptly. Given plenty of time to discuss and order our food. Food delicious, and served hot. Very good portion sizes and didn’t feel rushed to finish the courses. Can bring your own bottles or cans of drinks. Do supply drinks if required. Plenty of time to relax and chat after our meal before we paid the bill, at no point felt rushed. Spoke to the owner afterwards, states all food made fresh to order on the night and if you struggle to finish your meal, any left overs can be taken with you. An overall really lovely experience. Cash or cards welcome. Take away available.

Absolutely fabulous meal for hubby's birthday. Food is excellent, restaurant is clean staff very nice. Best Indian meal I have eaten in ages.

We have been using this place since it opened, but saddly it has gone downhill, largely due to a lazy attitude of cooking as much as possible in advance and re-heating to order. Last night we had one chicken and one lamb tika, usually cooked to order in a tandoori oven. Both dishes were clearly pre-cooked and refrigerated, then reheated in a frying pan (?) resulting in tough, over-cooked meat that was coated in oil, all on a bed of soggy limp onion slices. To cap it all, they haggled over the discount (15% when collected) and tried to charge for mint sauce, after telling me on the phone 'tika comes with.' £30 I will never get back; sorry guys, but we have to work very hard for our money these days, and cannot afford to waste it on hugely disapointing meals like this. We eat indian once a week bit will not be returning here.

Best Indian food in Exmouth - Friendly and attentive staff. Bring your own beer and tasty curries. Would definitely go again. Could do with less harsh lighting and warm coloured walls for a nicer ambience.

What a wonderful reception, a delicious meal and good company made for a superb evening. Thank you.

Service with a smile, food very enjoyable and will return on our next visit.

Have been coming here for a while now and have not had one bad experience!. The staff and friendly and kind. Food is great,always fresh. Would highly recommend!!

Had an excellent meal tonight, the food was exceptional as well as the service, could not fault. Highly recommend this restaurant. Had chicken Chaat for starters was amazing then chicken korma and chicken bhuna and the naan bread was the best we have ever had.

4 of us hada meal here on Wednesday evening. The service and food was excellent, good portions, tasty - perfect. We brought our own wine as they don't have a licence and it worked well. We will return - thank you

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Lovely food, clean and well presented, nice staff. We try to go once a month and each time it is the same excellent quality food at a reasonable price.

Very disappointing. Won't be going back

We have eaten in and had takeaway. Consistently a very high quality of food and service. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely dinner with friends. The food was delicious and very well presented. There was plenty to eat and it was cooked to perfection. The service was very good The prices were very reasonable and being able to take our own booze was a plus. We will definitely go again. James

As always a great experience. Good food, service and prices. Our regular choice for eating out since moving to Exmouth!

Amazing fresh flavors. Not oily and great portions. Good prices and the lovely person receiving the order is so polite.

We had a takeaway and it was ready at the given time Absolutely wonderful We both really enjoyed our starter and main meal Highly recommended

Excellent food once again. BYO makes it excellent value.

Great food and portions and staff were excellent and nothing was to much for them. Defo recommended.

the food was horrendous 10 minutes after consuming the meal i had extreme burning diareah and had food poisoning it was disgusting the flavour was bland. NOT A AUTHENTIC INDIAN RESTAURANT!

I visited the Indian restaurant recently, and unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. The food lacked authentic flavors, and the service was slow. The ambiance felt dated, making it an overall disappointing dining experience.

Beautiful curry, fast delivery, arrived nice and hot would definitely get again 10/10

Booked table for 8 to celebrate my birthday. Food wonderful and they went the extra mile to make a special milk pudding which was sliced instead of birthday cake. Lovely.

Food was appalling, service wasn’t great, the waiting time on our food took way too long.

came all the way down from Birmingham, the only place we saw was curry cottage, at first the service was great, but the food tasted so bland, and the waiter was so rude at the end.

Honestly very upset about the food, the dishes were up to standard.

Very poor quality of service and see in different ways with people colour and not food they are giving if it possible don’t eat food from there.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎And he was very rude to as 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Very poor service and no quality for food.bad smell is there in food .no a good customer service is provided by that hotel group and please do go there for food 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Very bad food 😡😡😡😡😡and he said as you can t eat from here because we are brown people.And bad behaviour towards to people.-

Curry Cottage have the most delicious food. They cater to all your needs and have amazing customer service. 10/10

I don't have any words to say about this waste restaurant ever i see in my life, Very bad service,they don't want to take care the guest,I think one manger his from Bengaldesh something,his behaviour to us like we are came to eat like free ...They made us a miserable day for me and my family, Even I don't want to give a any Star at all,they are not eligible for not even one star,I never recommend this restaurant in Exmouth.....

Very poor service they didn't take order for one item and very much partiality to everyone and rude behavior of staff

Really enjoyed the food but please be aware that if you choose their 3 course menu rice is counted as one of the courses - so extra to pay for a sweet. Also charged over £7 extra for 4 popadoms.

What a find , we lived in the Midlands for many years and we were very lucky to have plenty of good Indian restaurants, on moving to Devon we struggled to find a decent restaurant, Curry Cottage is the best place we have found for flavour, portion size, real value for money and now you can take your own booze!!! We are always greeted with a warm welcome. So if you're looking for a great restaurant look no further.

A good evening with delicious food served by friendly staff. Highly recommended, we will be back. Being allowed to bring your own wine not only added to the meal but was a considerable saving from having to purchase it in a restaurant with an alcohol license.

As we are new to the area we have been trying out a number of restaurants and have to say this is certainly one not to be missed. The solo member of staff who took our order was so welcoming and friendly. We ordered starters and mains which were both generous in portion and delicious, even having to take a 'doggy bag' home. They do not serve alcohol here so do take your own. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious food, fabulous service and a great atmosphere, we will be back

A wonderful meal! Staff were friendly, welcoming and catered for our every need. Food was SO delicious, and the service time was very good too. Will definitely be back!

So impressed with this restaurant! The food was fantastic. We had papadums which were light and crisp, with delicious dips. We then had king prawn pathia, balti chicken tikka masala, pilau rice, brinjal bhaji, onion bhaji and garlic naan. All the food was superb, the king prawn dish was so good, with a light fresh sauce, and the chicken was delicious. All the accompanying side dishes were great too … lovely light naan bread with just the right amount of garlic and the brinjal (aubergine) bhaji was perfect. The service was excellent, really friendly staff and a nice ambiance in the restaurant. Will definitely be back very soon!

Food is excellent staff are very friendly and professional

Our first visit to this restaurant for a birthday meal. Was told when we booked that we could take our own alcohol but soft drinks were available to buy. The restaurant is modern with a nice, relaxed ambience. Our waiter was the perfect host. The food was served promptly and piping hot. Everything was delicious. Vast menu. Please do try. The food is amazing.

We have eaten here three times now and each time the food has been very good. The latest visit was excellent, good service and really wonderful food. The lamb madras curry was the best I have tasted in a while, properly spicy hot with lots of soft lamb chunks. The garlic naan actually tasted of garlic, the saag naan was a joy to eat. My wife commented on how tasty the chicken green masala was compared to other recent ones at other establishments. Well worth a visit if you want a truly tasty Indian meal. Another advantage is the owner recommends taking your own alcohol, a huge saving.

Best Indian we have tasted for years quality of food was amazing. Staff were so helpful couldn't fault anything about the meal .value for money absolutely tremendous can't wait to come back next year.

Fabulous food as always. Very reasonable price too. Will keep going to the best Indian in Exmouth ! Highly recommend.

Delicious food and such a lovely atmosphere. Polite and courteous waiting staff. Pricing and choice and quality of old was brilliant. Will be going again, highly recommendCurry Cottage. This Indian restaurant does not serve alcohol so you will need to take your own. They do a drinks menu of non alcoholic drinks though.

We put in a huge order for 14 people on a busy Saturday night, it was ready quickly and every single dish was absolutely delicious, large portions and freshly made. The gentlemen at the restaurant were incredibly kind and had such a friendly and caring atmosphere.will definitely be returning as a very happy customer

This was my second visit and will definitely not be my last! This is an excellent restaurant, nicely decorated with "real" table cloths - often difficult to find. The welcome is very friendly, as is the service. At present, they are not licensed and offer a variety of non-alcoholic drinks. However, they permit you to bring your own wine or beer and do not charge an extra fee (I do give them a cash tip for this!). Their menu is extensive and everything is freshly cooked and very well spiced. Prices are really quite reasonable, the portions are generous and they are very happy for you to take away what you cannot eat and pack in standard microwaveable containers. This restaurant is definitely in my top 10!

I’m writing this for my brother who lives in Exmouth but does not have the internet. He visited here a few weeks ago and said it was brilliant food, price and service. Great experience, the best korma he had ever tasted.

I went there this evening today, the restaurant is so clean and staff are so nice, friendly (service mind 100%) I really like this place, the food are so delicious I will visit there again for sure, love ❤️

Very pleasant evening, with very good quality food, definitely worth another visit

Great food, generous portions, good service. I wish I lived closer

Had to Google research to find a decent curry house, this came up trumps. The food was tasty and biggest portions we've had in a long time. Service was great and by the time the poppadoms were finished our food was served. Restaurant has no drinks licence but the owners had no problem with us bringing a bottle, even opening and serving it for us. We all really enjoyed the Curry Cottage. Worth a visit.

Absolutely lovely Indian restaurant/takeaway, the staff were all friendly and smiling. Extremely generous portion sizes with no compromise on flavour. Our takeaway for 4 people was ready to collect in under 20 minutes! Very pleased with our experience

Lovely top quality food and fantastic helpful staff. Take your own alcoholic drinks which you can pick up from Tesco Extra just around the corner. Perfect!

None licence (take your own wine,beer),large portion, good variate, service very good.

Very welcoming. They do not serve alcohol so you can take your own. Good sized portions. Would definitely eat here again when in the area.

Absolutely amazing!!! The food was delicious and not at all greasy, it was fresh, tasty and ‘clean’. The portion sizes were very generous too! The service was second to none and an absolute joy of a place to spend an evening. Despite it was busy, service was timed just right and we weren’t left hanging around or rushed at all. One thing to note is that they do not sell alcoholic drinks, not that that’s a major issue, however I think that they do allow you to bring your own along - although I would check that when booking! Pricing was spot on for an Indian restaurant with us eating a generous main with popadoms and a drink each for around £20pp. We shall 100% be back! In my opinion, best curry in Exmouth!

Only one word for it FANTASTIC. Good and service excellent, good value for money. Shall definitely repeat the experience asap.

Tried the Wednesday 3 course deal for £15.95, including a soft drink. Anything on the extremely diverse menu, except king prawn dishes. Didn't ask if these were available for an extra charge as there were already so many choices (had a prawn madras though as main, a couple of £s cheaper than king prawn). Excellent quality food and generous portions. The 3 courses are starter, main and side (I was thinking one would be dessert but there were non available). Strongly recommended to eat in or order take-away. Will be going again!

Amazing food and great, friendly service, we will definitely come back for more. Thank you 🥰

Well . . apprehensive at first as no alcohol served or allowed on the premises. . . but a range of non-alcoholic beers, ciders and wine. Food and service excellent, wide range of dishes - reasonably priced.

Been here twice now and the food is absolutely fantastic, service was great

Ordered takeaway twice from Curry Cottage now and both times have been excellent. Lovely flavour to the sauces, moist chicken, generous portions and good value. Our Indian of choice now, highly recommend 😊

Take out was tasty and hot. Service cheerful and respectful. Can recommend.

We've had a couple of deliveries from Curry Cottage and the food has been good. This week we put a big order in and one of the dishes had several sharp plastic pieces in it. I've emailed and also sent a message via social media just explaining what I found including images just to warn them about this happening again but I've received no reply from them which is a little disappointing.

Indian Mixed grill was very Bad..Meat was not fresh and was rubbery.

Excellent flavours for a very good price. We had a takeaway after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed. Can't wait to order our next meal.

Food is delicious and portions are spot on.......and if you speak to J when ordering you will not find anywhere else that has better customer service!

I hate this place the food was cold and tasted like Ebola

Oh wow... just had a takeaway. If that is the standard for a takeaway I'm going to have to book a restaurant meal. Great service great food, Afghani lamb curry was superb would definitely recommend.

Great takeaway, tried it for the first time and was very impressed.

One of the best Indian takeaway I've ever had. As a Brummie I've had a few but can't fault it. The flavours were superb and I'm guessing closer to the original rather than our English version! Portion size very generous and overall excellent value. Will definitely be back to work my way through the extensive menu. Would I eat in - probably not as the restaurant doesn't have much atmosphere and is very bright. But for service and quality of food. Excellent!

This was the worst curry I have ever tasted. We had takeaway chicken sag balti which was awful, about the only thing we could stomach was the rice. Never again 😒

Very disappointed ordered a takeaway for 1900 at 1800hrs but didn’t receive it until 19.20 even though a college ordered his at the same time and got it at 18.55 had to pay taxi extra for waiting
