Deedars in Wiltshire

Not had a takeaway from here in a long time. After seeing the previous reviews, we were pleasantly surprised - one of the best we've had anywhere in a while, including some more expensive rivals. The rice wasn't multicoloured, nothing over sweetened, no unexpected spicy surprises (I like hot curry, but the rest of the family don't.) And all very tasty. Ready to collect on time. Will definitely use again.

Tonight, 17th December 2021, I ordered the £17.95 set meal option. Normally two poppadoms come with it, this time just one. I had ordered a chicken tikka masala and the tub it came in, normally full to the brim, was roughly one third full. The daal (lentils) also came in the normal sized tub yet the portion I received was roughly two thirds of the normal portion. I've used them for several years but they need to know that one bad experience like this is enough for me not to use them again.

First time I've used deedar yesterday and I can honestly say the last. Took over an hour to be delivered, then told on receipt of delivery I wasn't charged enough for delivery should of been an extra 4 pound. The food was not very nice at all very bland no spice or seasoning, I had the rogan josh looked like a onion stew and tasted worse. Cheese Nan bread breads were so stuck to the packet they came in only managed to retrieve half a nan per bag! Rest is still stuck to packet. Keema nan was just minced lamb again no spice or seasoning and the tikka masala was terrible. Would have been better going to morrisons and getting their pre made microwave meals. Beware!!!!

Absolutely awful! Barely edible kak ! I honestly doubt anyone in the kitchen could even point out where india is on a map bar alone been there !!!!!! I have lived in India for nearly 2 years. This is not even close, msg , colouring .......... 🤢and £26 !!!!!!!

I’ve been using Deedars for takeaways for sometime but the delivery service can be very poor. Tonight I booked online at 6pm with a delivery expected by 7pm. I rang them at 7.30pm and finally received our food at 8pm- so had some very hungry and Disappointed children. This isn’t the first time this has happened to us, so I’d say beware!

Always reliable, great food, friendly people, reliable delivery. Having tried the others in Devizes we always end up back at Deedar.

Fab take away, as always. Love the chicken badami, just delicious. Prawn puri is my husbands favourite and nowhere makes it as well at Deedar. We do like to eat in too but had a very busy day and not a lot of time so opted for take away option. The only biggie on this occasion was the onion bhaji was rather overcooked, possibly reheated? However it was still very tasty.

.........always lasts me 2 days, there's so much of it. £17.95 I think (I just give the delivery guy £20) for any starter, main, side, rice, nan bread. Excellent value and the lamb shobugh jalfrezi is awesome!

As always the greatest Indian in Devizes ! Eating in the restaurant for me is best, but is the same take away. The real taste of Indian food, each dish is properly and freshly prepared Atmosphere friendly but not oppressive Orders: 3 Popodom 3 mains 1 rise 1 naan 2 ciders 1 king fisher £51 Top!!!

Having been a customer since I moved into Devizes 6 years ago I have used deedar for every Indian takeaway despite their previous bad press when I arrived here. I have always been an advocate of them and there services. Tonight my loyalty is removed and recent management no longer realize loyal customers. Such a shame as I’ve always had good service in the past

Quick visit on Saturday, great service and amazing food. Very fresh and tasty. They serve the best Peshawari nann here. Highly recommend

Went along for a last minute early supper. We enjoyed fresh food with fabulous tastes. Service and the welcome was excellent. Will be back soon to try the Wednesday night special.

I have used this place for years under a couple of different managers. It has always been good and if you eat in the staff are friendly. I usually order the meal for one as a takeaway and although I like to think I'm a big eater I could never eat all of this. A starter, a main course, a rice, a side, a naan bread and a couple of free popadoms. This usually does 2 meals for me.

We have been using Deedars every week since the current team have been at the helm. Mostly takeaways, but the odd eat in over the summer. The food is always spot on. The guys are friendly and helpful. Would recommend to everybody who thinks the quality of the food is the most important thing.

A friend of mine introduced me to the place when I first moved to Devizes about five years ago. I took my American son-in-law there when he and his family were visiting me and he loves it. Must have had a takeaway five times in the two weeks they were here!

The foods generally good. Ceylon and lamb shashlick tasty but not sure the £8.95 price on the shashlick is fair. It's essentially lamb tikka with half an onion, half a pepper and a tomato. Quite how that makes the dish £2.55 more expensive than tikka I'm not sure! The phall is usually good but this time was over loaded with curry powder and it over powered the dish. 2 free poppadoms were a nice touch. I ordered off just eat as you can't order in advance on the restaurants own website. I paid a £2.00 delivery charge and a 50p service charge, all fair enough I thought. When the food arrived the menu states that delivery is free!!! So basically I was charged for delivery as I used just eat. If the £2.50 had been presented as a service charge I would have waited and ordered from the restaurant directly. Its a bit naughty really and I am a little annoyed about it.

This restaurant has only been an eat-in restaurant for the last 2 years so it was never a place we had previously considered for an evening meal. It was only due to local radio adverts that we thought to try it.

always considered this one of the best Indian restaurants in town, Eventually we decided to have a sit down meal in the recently refurbished dining area. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table the service was highly attentive explaining the ingredients of a number of the dishes to my wife. You can see the cooking area and could not see anything to be concerned about and as an EHO felt pretty reassured given some of the previous negative press, My wife went for the butter chicken whilst I had a jalfrezi we had a portion of mushroom rice sag paneer, onion bahjees's and a keema naan all of which tasted and looked fantastic and just as it should do. On receiving the bill we were happy with this and beleive the experience was value for money and look forward to returning in the near future

This is an Indian takeaway. Apart from the names of the items on the menu, I found it hard to recognise the food I was served up with, or what it had to do with India. Most of the meal went into the bin. My lamb dhansak was about five pieces of tough chewy meat in a day-glo orange gloopy sauce. Chapattis were soggy & chewy with the consistency of damp blotting paper. Bhindi bhajia bordered on the edible. I would never go there again. Fortunately there are three other excellent Indian restaurants within a few hundred yards.

Quick friendly service with a great app to make things simple. The curries were full of flavour. Would highly recommend

The only one that taste proper Chef specialty are great, never greasy and the choices are for all the taste At least once a week if I can😊

Very good Indian. Tried this during the week as I had a menu through the door. Varied menu, very difficult to choose as it all sounded good :-). We were not disappointed. The food was very good and will definitely use again.

Ordered a chicken tikka masala, lamb pathia and some sides as a take away. Ready on time and not a bad price but all the flavour of the dishes was overpowered by sweetness. Bombay aloo was good.

Ordered from here one evening for home delivery,

Very disappointed, has been taken over, food very bland, tasteless and a real shame! Shall not be returning anytime soon!

He probado los otros indios en la ciudad y prefiero esta una relación calidad-precio y buen gusto. Todos sabemos que el azúcar se añadirá a algunos de los curry, algunos han dicho que Deedar es demasiado dulces pero está muy bien para mis gustos. Te dan una buena relación calidad-precio me alegra dar cualquiera una crítica justa y la cocina está abierta así que se puede ver es limpio y verlos cocinar. No estoy seguro de que me encanta la distribución o decoración pero genial para comida para llevar.

This is by far the best curry house in Devizes. Their £10 banquet midweek is also amazing value - you get unbelievable amounts of food! Take away service is also good!

Hace unos cuantos años éste era el único restaurante indio en la ciudad para nosotros. Lo que entonces parecía ir cuesta abajo y tuvimos una mala comida en deplorables por allí lo cual compensó nuestras mentes no volver. Eso fue hace unos cuatro años.

Another great evening at Deedars on banquet night, Never feel rushed & waiters don't hover around you whilst you are eating! Good value for money the bill came to £25 for the two of us.. Thanks Jonny.

We went on a Thursday evening when Deedar do there banquet special for £10 a head. The food was freshly cooked and high quality, very generous portions and friendly and attentive staff. We've been to Deedars several times before as well as other Indian restaurants in town, but I have to say that the quality of cooking at Deedar is excellent. It's a small restaurant that also does takeaway and food is cooked to order. Well worth a visit.

visited out of curiosity as the reviews were very good but not many of them. it appears to be primarily a take away, but dont let that put you off there are a few tables and definitley worth a visit. we found the food superior to other noted indian restaurants that are reviewed on trip adviser. if ever back in devizes would definitly visit again!

Friendly simple set up. (When the ladies asked for wine, the choice was red or white. What kind of red? "Francey.") I tasted 4 starters and 5 mains, and all were great. Left absolutely stuffed, though also stinking due to the open plan nature of the kitchen!

Deedars is quite a small restaurant, with no more than 6 or so tables, though it does also do takeaways and deliveries. The menu contains all of the classic dishes you would expect as well as some interesting specials.The staff are friendly and service is generally good, although I have had to wait a little too long for orders on a few occasions.All in all, a decent place to get your curry fix.

We have eaten in at Deedars a few times and also had take-always. In our opinion it is the best Indian in town. The food is really terrific and very authentic and, if you want yo vary a dish, they are more than happy to do it. The restaurant is very basic but the service is efficient and friendly. Every dish is made to order and you know this as you can see in the very busy, pretty small kitchen. We moved to Devizes about a year ago and have tried all the other Indian restaurants. We think this one wins hands down every time.

The Deedar often goes unheard due to the commotion made over the other Indian restaurants in town but this is hands down the best one. If you're going to eat in it's great fun - the waiters are attentive and always willing to help you out and recommend some spicy dishes! If you're taking away it's wonderful food for a night in and the service is so friendly. My personal favourite dishes are the onion bhajis, chicken biryani, taaka dahl and the peshwari naan which is to die for!

We went here after an awful experience at Zumi ( see separate review)And what a wonderful surprise awaited usGreat food all 5 of us really enjoyed our mealStaff were fun attentive and looked after us brilliantly and helped to make our night outThis is a real gem, and please try it
