Curry Leaf in Forest of Dean

Excellent food, incredibly reasonably priced and very helpful staff. Fairly fast service, nice atmosphere. Lovely restaurant, would absolutely come again. The restaurant exterior/decor isn't anything special but don't let it put you off!

All ways good freindly service and great food

Delicious food! Good atmosphere and friendly service and dog friendly!

Wonderful service with a smile. The food was delicious, and we didn't want to leave any of it. There are plenty of choices. Would recommend to everyone.

Staying in Cinderford on a Sunday night and the Curry Leaf was the only place open for sit in meals. Great meal. Loved the chicken balti, and it was a very reasonable price too. Very friendly and courteous staff. Great find.

Have been coming here for years, mostly for takeaways. Food and service is always excellent! Most recently tried the Chicken Laziz, highly recommend :) A real asset to Cinderford.

Excellent Food! Visited with 4 friends and everyone throughly enjoyed the food. The customer service was amazing, Gias made us feel very comfortable and made sure all of us enjoyed our visit. Would 100% recommend, 5⭐️s

Note that they only take cash! Food absolutely delicious, freshly prepared and cannot fault anything, but I would like to thank the gentleman that served us tonight. He was so kind and polite through our whole meal, but when there was an issue with the payment (I didn’t have any cash!) he was so kind. He could tell I was embarrassed by this, but he was so lovely. It’s rare to find such wonderful customer service, so I really hope he sees this to know how grateful I am. Thank you

Love this place as food is consistently great and the staff are courteous and friendly.

Always love the food here. Usually get a take away.

Absolutely gem of a curry house hidden away in Cinderford. Service was superb from the friendly staff. The starters, curries and nan breads were delicious. Such a shame its so far from home. I will definitely be coming back hopefully. This is proper old school bengali style cookery and is unfortunately a dying art in the UK.

Have eaten here a few times before and NEVER had any problems so am actually sad to report that I found an unmistakable, small black hair in my food this evening which completely put me off an already small portion for the money. And I will not be a returning customer.

Great place, we have been a few times and never had a bad meal. The staff are all very welcoming and very friendly, the food is amazing. I highly recommend this place. 👌👌👌👌👌

Excellent good and service and always with a smile We travel from Gloucester to either eat in or takeaway

We were the only ones in there on a Sunday evening, but we were made welcome with good food and service.

Amazing nothing else to say just fabulous ☺️

Nice service, nice people and excellent food 👍🏻

Lovely food, great service will definitely use again

Great family run restaurant, who always give a warm, friendly welcome. Really nice food in comfortable surroundings. Professional, friendly service and always made to feel that your custom is really appreciated.

Great place with very friendly staff. Do some interesting southern Indian dishes as well as the usuals. Really enjoyed my Handi

Never had a bad meal from here, eating in or takeaway, and I have tried something new every time since I moved into the area a year ago.

It took 2 hours to receive a meal that was less tasty than a 1980's jar of Vesta's curry sauce. No cutlery given so raided the neighbouring table for a fork, had to ask for a spoon and received a serving spoon to eat with. A waste of 2 hours and £30.

Unfortunately after 13 years of enjoying the Curry Leaf I have to give it a bit of a bashing. As usual the service was great, but the food was terrible. It was actually that bad that the meals were not eaten. Not sure what has happened, but I can only assume that the chefs have changed. Sorry Curry Leaf, but you have lost my business and I won't be eating here again. The good old days of good food and a cold beer in this restaurant are long gone 😫.

I'm enjoying my food from the Curry Leaf which I usually have on a Tuesday or Wednesday when they do a special for £12.95 of a starter,main and rice or naan . Very friendly staff is also a nice bonus WELL DONE

Good quality Indian food, very reasonable. Always friendly service!

Excellent indian and Goan food. Not Bangladeshi so something different. Staff friendly and polite. Special offers Tuesday and Wednesday 2 courses for £12. I tried something different. Amazing food.

Service was incredibly slow. Wouldn't recommend or go again

Best curry in the forest, great selection of food and service is friendly and polite.

Nicest curry I’ve had in my life :) delicious - bring your own alcohol, lovely staff. Worth a visit!

The best naan I’ve eaten outside of India. All the food was delicious. The service was good and the meal was very reasonably priced.

Excellent food with friendly staff.

Great curry. Table for five and everyone was happy. The Harayali was something of greatness.

Absolutely delicious curries and lovely welcoming staff who were happy to advise on the more unusual dishes and customize to request where needed. A great experience, we went back a few days later.

Food was delicious, I was stuffed, I could not finish everything which is unusual for me. Highly recommended, great service

Fantastic food great company a very enjoyable experience

Ordered here before and was good food honestly. But today, suddenly I order and they no longer accept card payments plus they didn't honour gourmet night offer, to be clear I had spoken to them on the phone prior to this and they didn't advise they weren't taking card any longer plus the guy actually told me they were honoring their gourmet night deal. Such a shame and very dissapointed and won't come here again out of sheer principle.

Guy was very pleasant and even a funny cheeky, great experience on a midweek meal out

Absolutely amazing curry, so fresh the best curry ever!!! The guys here are really polite and friendly too 10/10

Amazing food, love the guys working there super friendly :)

Friday night was busy at 7 pm No problem for this Curry House Treated courteously and quickly to table Service was very quick and perfect. Many staff around making sure everyone happy Food excellent I recommend

Great restaurant, Not licensed. Take your own booze, glasses supplied. Menu was extremely varied and well laid out to assist with choice making. Food took a while to arrive, but when it did... definitely worth the wait. We shall be returning next time we're in the Forest of Dean.

We are currently visiting Wye Valley and on our first evening we went to the local Indian restaurant - Curry Leaf. What an amazing experience!!! The food was so authentic. Very delicious, aromatic and well cooked. The service was excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner and will definetly come back on our next visit! Thank you 🙏

Had a carry out, it was ok but desperately needed salt. We were also somewhat disappointed with the spice level, ordered what we expected to be hot dishes and they were very mild.

We have recently moved to Cinderford and as much as we love it, we love curry leaf more. The food is fantastic and Giash is awesome (we hope we spelt your name correctly) Thank you and we really recommend it.

Great service, friendly staff, and good food. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and superb service. Would thoroughly recommend

We really enjoyed our meals 😋 a good selection and great service. We will return

Best Indian in the forest! The food is wicked, service is excellent and it’s reasonably priced. Couldn’t ask for any more!

Really nice food excellent service

Quality curries. Always tasty and fresh

Food was great, really reasonably priced and staff were friendly.

We had a take away which was excellent. The boss very generously gave us an extra meal on the house. Prices are very reasonable. Our chickens appreciated the rice we had been unable to eat next morning.

I enjoyed a curry every now and again, but I was never my first choice. That has changed since my first visit to the Curry Leaf. I am now a regular and the owners already know us. We usually have a meal once a week. Is to die for! I love the gourmet nights as well, it's a nice touch. The service is impeccable. They are very professional and really friendly.

The food when eventually it arrived was excellent but to wait 1.75 hrs for your mains to arrive was beyond the pale especially as 15 or so takeaways were served while we waited. Excuses were made and apolgies offered but we were hungry and what could have been an enjoyable evening was tarnished by tardyness.

Not been for a very long time, even being very busy the staff and food were spot on. Happily go back

Lovely food and a great service 👍

Great food..albeit slightly slow service but understandable with a single very attentive waiter front of house.

Very friendly staff. Food 5 stars

Had a collection tonight and I must say I was highly disappointed, from the quality of the food when you dine in there restaurant I found the food not to there normal standard. Everything was just meh. Come on I know its luck down but that does not affect the standard food is cooked to. Was highly let down and will continue to go to the other curry house in cinderford

Great little curry house, good service and nice food

Very nice. Highly recommended. Good food. Good service. Good prices. BYO.

Lovely food and location. Slow service due to short staff but overall good place.

Food was ok but booked a table waited over an hour for food then main meal came out the same time as our starter so it felt rushed

No credit cards, byo alcohol, but good tasty curry

Fantastic restaurant! Great food and friendly service. Highly recommend a visit.

Curry was very bland, naan bread was dry, and a poor drinks selection.

Fantastic food, service with a smile and always made to feel welcome.

Good food, reasonably priced, had to wait a little longer than I would have liked for service.

I've been going here for years and always loved the food. The people who run it are lovely, polite and courteous. They're not licenced any more so bring your own alcohol. 😎👍🍻🍻

Excellent meal. My husband bad chichen pathia and I had a couple of vegetarian dishes. All cooked to perfection. Friendly staff. On holiday for a week will definitely visit again before going home

Lovely food. Good value for money :)

Top notch curry, I had an exemplary dhansak. Good service AND it’s bring your own booze. It’s cheap too so all in all highly recommended.

First time here & had takeaway. Really REALLY good food. Good size portions & relatively quick. Not very busy due to road closure & we had a nice chat with the staff. We will make this a regular favourite.

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff.

Always fantastic. This is the go to place for a good curry. Some of the speciality dishes are great and I have tried most of them (the addition of mint is a boon). The staff are attentive and the friendliest blokes you can imagine. Highly recommended.

Great service, wheel chair accessible plenty of tables never had any issues with food

Lovely little restaurant. Great food and friendly staff

Everything I have takeaway or eat in is so tasty. Also their alcohol free cocktails are lovely.

Mi compañero y yo vamos aquí con regularidad, la comida es deliciosa y tratamos de probar algo diferente cada vez que vamos allí, en sus noches de valor los martes y los miércoles puedes tener un entrante y un plato principal y arroz o un nano para 10. 95 (excluyendo las comidas de gambas). Sin embargo, tiene que tomar su propia bebida alcohólica, si tiene prisa, es mejor ir temprano por la noche, ya que se ponen muy ocupados, y como todo se prepara con productos frescos, puede que haya que esperar un poco, pero vale la pena. . Recomendaría este Curry House.

My vegetable curry was bland and tasted only of curry powder. Desert served to us was not what we ordered. Bring your own alcoholic drinks

Great food and service, highly recommended

Good food and service great too

Great service and good food. This is my favourite Indian takeaway in Cinderford.

Pretty slow service and food bland

Fantastic friendly staff and great food

The friendlyness of the staff and the choice of foods are amazing. Always lots to choose from although it could come out hotter. The piercing shrill of the telephone is a major put off. Never busy to sit down to eat but there's always a steady flow of people having takeaways.

Come here most weeks, staff are brilliant and the food is amazing. Always recommend people to come here for a curry and nice evening out

Personable, great food, exceptionally clean. Would recommend.

The best chicken korahi I ever had Very tasty and flavourful just brilliant

We are regulars and I dont think many people will argue, that the service is always great and the food outstandung. The prices are fair and can not be knocked on anything

Visiting friends and had a lovely curry here. Staff were smashing, would definitely return!

Visited this restaurant on the off chance it was located nearby to where I was staying. Being a man who enjoys his curry I was immediately drawn to this place and thankfully my instincts paid off. I ordered my usual chicken madras which is always my curry of choice. The waiter serving me tried to convince me to try one of the speciality’s however I opted to play it safe however if I’m ever in the area again I may well take him up on that offer. Bill was around £20 with drinks, poppdoms, main and rice and a side of roti.

The best indian for miles!! Eat in or takeaway will never be a let down.... Our favourite place! The staff are very welcoming and so friendly... service is 2nd to none! Very reasonably priced!!

Our fav curry house in the Forest of Dean. We make a point of drive from Gloucester see film a the picture house then have a super meal, extensive menus. Keep up the good standard. Also they have a liquor licence now so choice of Kingfisher, Singh's, Tiger beer or draught Carlsberg! Only comment in order was I would have preferred the chicken korai to be fresh meat cooked in savoury stew NOT spare bits of tandoori meat chucked in a stock sauce! See I know the real dish from home...Robbi Daddee Ji

Food is lovely. Very polite and friendly. On the pricey side though.

Great food good value for money will be back again very friendly staff very good size meals well worth it .

Great food, friendly staff and very good customer service

Has takeaway and Nice food with good service if eating in. Has a small bar so you can get drinks while you wait for your order or use as table service. Table space is limited so prebooking would be a good idea for groups of six plus people. Well worth checking out if you have not been before.

Always a friendly welcome, good service and very good food. Reasonably priced and if you go on a Thursday or Wednesday they do a deal, starter, main rice or nan for £10,95

Very tasty food and friendly service, good prices but a poor selection of alcoholic drinks
