Dhaba At Fifteen in Norwich

Not what it was when it opened - remember the soft shell crab? Now it's the same as every other Indian in the street - meat in a sauce - but not a good sauce.

Always lovely service, excellent food.

Fantastic good, fantastic staff,,best Indian meal that I have ever had.

I enjoyed eating here so much as someone with coeliac. There were lots of gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu and I was very well looked after. The food was gorgeous, the bhajis were lovely and crispy and the lamb shank was falling off the bone and wonderfully spiced. I'm looking forward to a repeat visit.

absolutely great food gorgeous service brilliant lovely atmosphere all round lovely place

Excellent food and great service! It was easy to book a table, the service is friendly and the food is superb. We are going to be back!

One of the best curry's in Norwich for sure! Highly reccomend if you want to try something a little different from the other local establishments

As always, excellent food and friendly service. The flavours re always spot on, and I rally like the "Nojito" cocktail.

Thr best Indian restaurant in Norwich by far. We travel 30 miles each way to eat at Dhaba. Food is amazing and the service is excellent.

Fantastic food and friendly and polite service. Rich, flavoursome Indian food minus all the gloop and oil. Highly recommended.

First time i went there...me and my family enjoyed their food..their food and service very nice..i will go there again

Very friendly staff Tasty traditional food Small menu but that is good is some places as it encourages you to try new. Great prices

Just the best! I can’t recommend this place enough!

Amazing food every time we go, this is my recommendation for Norwich. I try to go here every time we find ourselves nearby.

Friendly staff and the food was really enjoyable. Tip of the cap to the Boatman Curry. Best Indian I've had in Norwich so far.

Absolutely delicious, loved it!

The food is certainly excellent and the prices reflect that. Recommended✅ A great Curry House to go to for a treat and staff are attentive.

Went to Norwich to visit our best friend and he took us to Dhaba at 15. The food and service was absolutely amazing! Will visit there again when visiting Norwich. Highly recommended 💯👍

Our favourite curry place! Staff are so friendly and really on it. We’ve gone there several times now and ordered a takeaway and it’s always been delicious!

Great food good selection of different very tasty curries and starters. Friendly helpful staff. We really enjoyed our visit while visiting Norwich

Absolutely amazing best Indian restaurant I've ever been to , very welcoming and facilitating staff a great range of menu including allergen safe and vegan and veggie options would highly recommend

Lovely evening to celebrate family birthday. The food was exceptional, will definitely be returning. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Thank-you Dhaba team, we loved it tonight ❤️✨

Hassan was great! Recommended. Must try the biryani.

This is my favourite place in the whole of Norwich Tremendous selection each amazing Service great

Not quite as good as I remember....kale chat was tough and over sweet but mains were good (I had Dahl, spinach and roti) and they do good selection of vegan. Also alcohol free beer!

I'm not an expert on Indian food... Maybe it's just personal taste. The staff is kind. The cute place. But I'm not used to such spicy and garlic-filled food.

Warmly welcomed, given ample time to make our choices and vegan options throughout clearly explained and identified. Dry restaurant but sells 0% beer and a food range of cocktails.

Negatives first. We were sat by the door and whilst I understand Deliveroo etc are probably a valuable source of revenue for restaurants, constant banging on the window next to us and waving by riders with the door opening and closing constantly was a bit irritating. We spoke with 4 front of house and 3 were great, unfortunately the one that served us was unhelpful and off. I don't like service charge being added automatically but it was pointed out at the till before paying and an offer made to remove it if required. Positives. The interior was well presented and contemporary and service times good. The menu wasn't huge like some but looked like they were concentrating on doing a smaller range very well rather than a big range adequately. This was borne out by the food which was very good and not full of salt like some, they just allowed the food to speak for itself. The Lentil Dahl had a skin on top which was possibly because it had been microwaved from frozen and left to stand but everything else was perfect and well presented. Mixed feelings really.

Nice restaurant in Magdalen Street. I had never been before. I only had a starter and a new variety of cola called Kharma, or something like that. Unfortunately, the warm weather meant I wasn't feeling quite myself, and the waiter understood this fully.

My wife and I love India and love Indian food; we eat and cook a lot of it! Having travelled extensively in India and eaten at innumerable South Asian restaurants in the UK, we feel very well qualified to pick out a good one... and this establishment is outstanding! Fantastic friendly and helpful staff, clean modern facilities, and a superbly varied and original menu. And I've not even started on the food! This is not a typical generic Indian restaurant, as 95% tend to be, it is something very different! The food comes from a really different and sophisticated angle. Numerous dishes which we'd never seen or tasted before, making the choice a pleasing challenge! Superb presentation.... and the flavours!!! Individually prepared dishes and absolutely brimming with fresh, original tastes and aromas. We were bowled over by this restaurant and will certainly be back; if visiting Norwich do not miss it!!!

That Butter Chicken was flat out the best in Norwich, ruined all other Butter Chickens for me. Can't wait to have a curry in house. Absolutely mega food!

This is the best Indian food I have ever had bar none. The staff are wonderfully helpful and polite. Try the onion bhaja and the Peshwari naan, both amazing, whilst the Sri Lankan prawn curry is my current favourite. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This was one of the tastiest Indian meals I've ever had. Highly recommended. The service was fab too. I will definitely go back next time I visit Norwich

Had a walk-in meal tonight on my way into the city, baigun kathraki achar with boiled rice. Superb quality with fresh and interesting flavours. Great value for such good quality and really friendly staff too. Thanks guys! 👍

It's the best curry house in Norwich. The food is excellent with loads of interesting dishes you don't normally find on the menu. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Third visit and just as good as the first. Attentive service, great food and excellent mocktails. What’s not to like Masala fries and deep fried okra are a must

Everything is suitable. Excellent lovely place

Wow - absolutely fantastic food and really lovely, friendly staff. I would highly recommend dhaba@15 to anyone! It was my birthday, and i honestly could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. We shared a few starters and poppadoms between five of us, and they were absolutely delicious. The main courses were full of flavour, I had one of the house special, which was INCREDIBLE and very unique, and I would highly recommend ordering this( sorry can't remember the name). Overall, we had a really lovely experience here! Thank team dhaba for making my special day more more.

Had a takeaway via deliveroo. Food was amazing. Lots of it and still fresh and hot. Would recommend highly.

We had been meaning to try @15 for ages, finally decided we would go and eat in for my Bros bday. We had a selection of starters, then some mains and sides, alcohol free beer and some Kulfi after. The flavours were flying around, absolutely spectacular food. We all got dishes that hit our limit with spice and they were so moreish and flavorful. All the staff were helpful and friendly, made us feel welcome, the lads were lovely. Thanks for a great night, definitely ordering and popping in again. (They were very busy with deliveries too and it didn't hinder the service)

Stunningly good food. We have been here a few times and it never fails to deliver. Best Indian food in Norwich by far. Great gluten free range ( coeliac daughter suffered no reaction after visiting) and good vegan options too. A hidden gem ❤️

Amazing little gem! Food was absolutely awesome and a huge step up from a standard indian restaurant. Staff were lovely too

Always the best food and service. The North Indian lamb fry is my favourite but honestly whatever you choose is sure to be so good.

Arguably the best Indian meal I’ve tasted. From the front of house expert to the outstanding food and original menu, this is Indian food of the highest quality

Really different curry experience. Great spicing of dishes and good friendly service. Highly recommend. Definitely one of the best curry restaurants in Norwich

Recommended to us and the restaurant certainly didn’t disappoint. My Persian style beef curry was absolutely delicious, the beef was so succulent, as was the side of spinach with pickled spices?and pilau rice. My partner tried his first proper Chicken Biryani complete with the pastry covering to hold in all the moisture and juices which was served with a tasty vegetable curry. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a lovely atmosphere. Obviously popular, I think it will become one of our haunts and in an interesting old part of the city just across the Wensum river but very short walk to the centre.

First time using this eatary, & Oh my goodness, what a find. Every dish was an exceptional and individual explosion of taste. From the delicate spices to the richness of beautifully crafted sauces. I collected the food and took it home on this occasion, and I could not have been happier. Next time, I shall eat in and see if the table service is just as good as the flavoursome food. I'm not naming the dishes eaten because I would like to think that whatever any readers of this review choose will find their personal choices equally as satisfying. Eat well, my friends, be happy and sated.

Arrived for table booking at 7.30. Seated promptly. This is a no alcohol restaurant which I knew. Ordered drinks and poppadoms which arrived fairly promptly which is when mains were ordered. Main’s finally arrived at about 8.45! All mains lacked seasoning and I feel were over priced for vegetarian food in comparison to other dishes. There was also a 10% service charge automatically added.

Popped in for a meal before going on a night out - beautiful Sri Lanka prawn curry and chicken pasanda & pilau, not to mention nibbles and starters. An amazing meal, very reasonably priced with surprisingly generous portions without being over filling. A delicious start to our special family celebration. Hope to be back soon, thank you!

Visited this Norwich restaurant last night. After dealing with the shock that they don’t serve beer or any alcohol I ordered Baigan kathraki achar, this is a vegan dish with aubergine and pickles. It was delicious. Don’t hang around after, get down the pub for a pint ASAP.

The food here is fabulous and the staff are both friendly and courteous. I have been here many times with different people and everyone has always been impressed. It's easy to book a table, even if you need one for 10 or more! They are very helpful and come up with innovative solutions if you have any dietary concerns.

We actually had a delivery....but this is without doubt the single finest set of curries I've tasted in years. The food was utterly divine! Clearly, non of the usual predictable semi-edible slop, but super fine cooking clearly done by very talented chefs. I cannot wait to dine in the restaurant and I have to say if you're planning on Indian / Bangladeshi food in Norwich Dhaba at Fifteen is the only place you need to go....it is quite brilliant and you will love it!

We had a brilliant early meal here before going home, the food was delicious so much so we took what was left home..

We visited on a quiet evening and were very impressed. The food is really excellent. Delicious Indian meal, one of the best places we have been. The staff were friendly and helpful.

As someone who is wheat intolerant I was particular impressed by the number of gluten free dishes on the menu - also there were plenty of choices for my friends, (one is vegetarian and the has a quite restricted dietary) so it was great for all of us. All our dishes were excellent and felt very authentic, the staff were friendly and the ambience relaxed and comfortable. I would highly recommend eating here.

Delicious food, though they delivered chicken byriani instead of the lamb one I'd ordered.

Quite a small restaurant but clearly very popular....you will need to book. Service was friendly & attentive but not intrusive. The food is fabulous, definitely not your average curry house! I can thoroughly recommend the Mughlai Lamb Karahi, wonderfully rich and tender, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! You have to feel slightly sorry for the Spice Valley Indian restaurant next door, Dhaba was packed and there wasn't a soul in the Spice Valley (just forlorn looking waiters!)

Absolutely delicious. Lamb fry, tarka dhal, tikka masala, butter chicken, goan fish, the naan is sooo light and tasty. The service is superb. Oh.. and the starters! Bhaji, chicken wings (gorgeously spicy)... First time here last night for Mother's Day - we'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Superb food and great service. If you’re I. Norwich and fancy an Indian, this is a must. No alcohol licence but surrounded by pubs so no issues if you need a drink before/after.

We've gone here both in person and for takeaway. They offer some exciting vegan options - the aubergine & the dhal were particularly great. We also loved that when we asked for poppadoms and mentioned we're vegan, they brought us more vegan friendly chutney and delicious lime pickle. Everything we tried here was amazing - and they were very attentive to my request to please not add fresh coriander to the dishes and served it in the side instead. Delicious food, generous portions, nice people, highly recommend ✨

Absolutely fantastic, can't wait to go back

Very disappointed. I didn’t like the waiters approach to us. I ordered couple of things, he came back and said you have to order at least 2 sides. It is ridiculous, because we ordered what we can eat. And the portions are very small and expensive. Taste fair not so bad not so good. Probably I won’t be visiting again. I highly don’t recommend 👎👎👎

Took a chance on this place with my dad after walking past it a few times. Turns out it goes pretty hard. Thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and it all came out in good time. No complaints at all.

Very nice food & great service. Something a little different from your typical Indian restaurant.

Love it. Been many times. Great staff. Knowledgeable. Fantastic food

Excellent food, will be returning.

Lovely little Indian Street food place. Great tasting food.

Amazing food. Nice people and great service. Don’t be put off that the restaurant is alcohol free. The benefit is that you don’t get the rowdy atmosphere you sometimes get elsewhere and you can focus on the superb food.

Excellent food (although more vegan options would be nice) let down by poor service. My partner wasn't feeling great so didn't eat a lot of her meal, we were asked if we'd like to take what was left away and rather than take the dishes to the kitchen to pack up we were bought the foil trays to the table to do ourselves. Also, as soon as we had finished eating, we were immediately presented with the bill without asking for it which left the impression of being rushed out of the door; really not what I'd expect from an award winning restaurant.

Well, this was a revelation! Apart from the surprise that they don't serve alcohol, which keeps the drunks away, everything else was first class. The service was polite but informal, the food was absolutely delicious, and a cut above the sort of stuff you normally get served in regular Indian restaurants. The vegetarian dishes, particularly the starters were excellent and every bit as good as the meat and fish dishes. I'm not going to describe in detail what we had but simply say to you that I have no reservation in recommending this place and telling you to pick anything you fancy off the menu, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Bon appetit!

Very tasty food. Each dish tasted different and was authentic. Very polite service too.

Got a takeaway and was pleased by big portions and attentive seasoning. The paneer curry was a standout. Peshwari naan had ample filling but could have been a bit more doughy. Everything was nice but lacked a depth of flavour - very little spice and it was all coated in oil. Good but not a must-try.

Making our visit to Norwich for a sports event, we booked this based on strength of reviews. Superb. All parts of the service was excellent but the food is rightly what we will remember. I regularly eat in Bradford (Akbars and Royal Delhi), and for the first time am prepared to say this was better. The home made pickle selection was unique and the lamb main dish was excellent quality meat and perfect combination of flavours.

My husband and I highly recommend Dhaba at 15! This is our second visit and it must be mentioned that there's something on the menu to fit everyone's needs, the restaurant is very clean, the service has always been top tier, staff are warm, friendly, polite and inviting and the food....is exquisite! Can't wait to dine with Dhaba at Fifteen again!

Went as part of our regular old lads night out, really friendly staff and exceptional offerings served, can recommend the crispy kale with yoghurt and pomegranate for starters, though it is quite large. No alcohol served not a problem, we had Lassi, you can get a couple of beers at the kings head which is almost opposite a proper pub

It is the best. We have eaten in many restaurants but for this type of cuisine Dhaba is by far the best. The varied menus are so enticing to try something different. On this visit we had an amazing Ochra dish which was mouth watering. My only complaint is I have to drive 302miles to get there.

We enjoyed a great meal at Dhaga at Fifteen a year ago when we were last in Norwich. So on this visit we made sure that we had a reservation for a return visit. We were not disappointed: great food and very friendly and helpful staff. This is one of my all time favourite Indian restaurants.

My husband and I always order take away from Dhaba since moving to Norwich earlier in the year. Our friends came to visit us so we decided why not go dine in and it was the best decision ever. Such great customer service and the food was incredible as always! Lovely warm plated we’re placed down before our food came out and overall everything was exceptional. A clean Restuarant with great music and atmosphere. Fast & friendly service. Great prices for a table of 4 as well! 10/10 recommend.

I booked here for a team evening meal and the staff whom I was emailing couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating . The food was amazing and everyone was very happy and all said they would return again. Its always my go to Indian since I found it on Uber - and the food was the same quality on delivery as is in store too.

I can't believe this place has a rating of 4.6. Its 5 stars all the way! Food is absolutely gorgeous, the lamb was the best lamb I have ever had from an Indian - so tender. Run by such lovely people both on the phone and in person. They made a mistake with the order - couldn't of handled it better, the fixed the problem and went above and beyond. Wish this was my local, I would be here all the time. If you haven't tried it, definitely give it a go - we all absolutely loved it. For the quality, taste and flavour of the food, the price was very reasonable. Never left a google review before, but going out of my way because this was so nice.

Hi myself and family came here Saturday night for dinner and all of my family said it was the best meal we have had for ages. We are from Nottingham and was visiting Norwich for the night and we all said how fantastic and couldn't fault the food or customer service and will definitely go back.

Friends suggested that we try Dhaba at Fifteen so we went tonight (13/10/23). We were not disappointed! Having walked to the restaurant (not easy to find somewhere to park close in this part of Norwich) in the pouring rain, we were greeted by the front of house who took care of our very wet coats and umbrellas!! We were shown to our reserved table (Recommended). We were given time to settle before we gave our drinks order. Be aware that NO alcohol is served at this establishment! We placed our orders. I was impressed that the waiter asked if any of us had any particular allergies. Have NEVER been asked that before! Well done!! The food was outstanding!! Beautifully presented to the table. The taste was even better. I went for one of the new items on the menu, Mughlai lamb karahi with pilau rice, onion bhaji (shared) and peshwari naan bread (shared). The lamb was tender, with a sauce that had heat but was not overpowering. Shreds of 'al dente' ginger were a good compliment to the sauce. A good sized portion left me feeling full but not overly so. The price reflected the quality of the dish which I thought was very reasonable. The table staff were attentive and courteous at all times. I would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant!

Great food and service)) but there is no alcohol served

Amazing food and excellent service. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves curry. The staff are lovely and even gave me a special treat on my birthday.

Lovely restaurant and highly recommended for authentic Indian food that’s different from the usual offering in the UK and absolutely delicious. We have been here several times and it’s consistently good. The service is friendly and efficient and the food wonderful. Appears to be very popular and for good reason I would say. The restaurant isn’t licensed and doesn’t need to be. My Nohito was refreshingly gorgeous.

I went to eat here a few weeks ago just before closing with my mother and fiancé. The staff were so accommodating, extremely quick and informative. The food was unbelievably authentic, best South Asian/Indian food I've ever had from a restaurant in Norwich. Definitely my go to from now. We ate too quick for photos hehehe. Thank you guys.

Excellent food, the masala fries and tempura okra divine. Friendly, helpful staff. Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely stunning food, cooked to perfection, tasty, fragrant, beautifully spiced and in good quantities! Had the Persian curry, which was gorgeous. Word of warning, 5 is HOT! No alcohol, but the lassi was to die for!

The food was absolutely amazing. Atmosphere was perfect. Best curry spot in the city! Would recommend it to everyone

Best Curry House in town I have never had something I haven’t enjoyed the staff are lovely an overall good experience

Best Indian restaurant in Norwich. Food is amazing, staff are great!

Enjoyed eating at Dhaba a couple of nights ago while visiting friends in Norwich. Quite enjoyed the food and had a great time. Good quality and fair prices. Will go back next time I’m here.

The menu here is interesting and really thoughtfully put together. The stand out for me was the lamb Karahi which was rich and deeply flavourful, the gol guppa was also delicious and served as the perfect mouthful to get me excited for the main. The staff were so lovely and took the time to talk us through what we were eating and why they had created the menu. Really lovely overall experience, excited to come back and try more from the menu.

Definitely the worst Indian food I ever had in UK. Being an Indian I hated their dishes. The staff behaviour was not at all friendly. Won’t recommend any of my friends or relatives.

Ordered hakka chilli paneer for starters, tasted good but was more on sweeter side not sure why. Got tandoori roti and veg kolapuri, roti was excellent but kolapuri was bland. Gravy has no good taste apart from spices and veggies felt like just boiled and mixed with gravy without letting it absorb the taste (although gravy dint had much of a taste). Might be good to visit for non-veg lovers.

This was the nicest curry I’ve ever had, so much more than your standard Indian restaurant. You can tell there is a lot of love and skill in the kitchen here, the flavours were really incredibly. I will definitely be visiting again to work through the rest of the menu. Service was great too.

A great dining experience. Very attentive waiting staff who corrected a mistake in the order with no fuss. Food was exquisite and authentic. One of the best Indian restaurants I have tried in Norwich!

Great food and one in the party me had a high chili tolerance so pleaded to spice it up. Superb although my friends and staff may still all be on fire after having a little taste. First time here and it will be my go too. Just one thing some more variety of rice dishes would be good 👍😊🌶️🌶️🌶️

The food here is excellent. We had Goan fish, bindi, spinach and rice, A lot of interesting flavours.

We had attended an event in Norwich and ordered a take away to bring home with us; needless to say, the food was as delicious as ever. The lamb shank was just gorgeous, my son enjoyed his Thoran Paneer, and hubby tucked into the NOrth...
