Exquisite in East Staffordshire

I ordered food from this “restaurant” and was underwhelmed food was honestly awful greasy food.. and some of which inedible

Good to see Exquisite has reopened following refurb after lock down. It's quiet but well worth a visit for freshly cooked and good tasting food. Best tasting Bajhis around and lamb dish very tender, cooked with care. Recommend a visit.

Called in again on Sunday to collect my chicken methi , my second visit recently. The food was very nice, again. Really enjoyed, looking forward to my next takeaway from Exquisite. Thanks Guys, muchly enjoyed. See you soon. Eddie.

Not visited since pre Covid. Quality of food very good, meat tender and tasty, vegetables perfectly cooked. Assured food was gluten free for me. Quiet at first but then a party of 12 came in as we were leaving.

We have eaten in nearly all the restaurants in Burton. We came across Exquisite and decided we will try this place out next...What can we say!... it was probably one of the best experiences we have ever had! Food, service and atmosphere were all on point, we are already looking forward to our next visit!

Wow! What can I say. This is probably the worst curry takeaway I've ever eaten. Cold, food fried in old oil. Odd burnt taste to jalfrezi and the lamb pathia was awful. Everything had an odd flavour to it. When I called up I was just asked if I wanted more food. Will never order from them again

Having eaten in the Birmingham balti triangle, I moved to the outskirts of Burton 3years ago, this restaurant offers amazing food at excellent prices, give it a try!!!! Visited here many times and hasn't disappointed to date, waiter always attentive, you can bring your own drinks

I came here with my friends and absolutely loved the food here. I was very impressed and will definitely come here again!

Was there last night food was ok, but it was the horrible waiter, took our order with out writng it down, so when he came it was not right. but he argued . I said i want to see the owner has we have been going for years there, he came out told him that waiter just stood behind with a grin, the owner just walked off. All the years that we have been going thankyou so much to the owner for just walking off . That waiter is the most horrible waiter that has ever severd us.to the owner stick your curry

Came here on a Friday when it was quite busy, the food was delicious it almost tasted Michelin level. The service was spot on. I want to know who is cooking at the back because i have been to plenty of restaurants but none has the high quality of food here bravo, Chef deserves a lot of credit. Cant wait for the next visit!!!

Came in for a quick curry after visiting someone in the area. I asked for a lamb tikka and King Prawn curry, but have been given normal lamb. Both Lamb and King Prawn were super over cooked to a point in which I probably wouldn’t not have chocked myself if I swallowed the lamb pieces without chewing, the worst lamb tikka I have ever tried. 3 stars is for the service only.

The food was not fresh!!! I had a health problems for the whole evening/night...Please chose another Indian restaurant in this area. There are much more better dining places. Do not recommend this one.

We really enjoy the service and food here. It is small but not so overpowering as the bigger restaurants. Smaller menu but caters for all tastes and we feel totally at home here.

Fantastic curry - good atmosphere and brilliant value for money. Unlicensed so bring your own bottle. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Will definitley be returning.

Saturday evening table for 3. Very friendly and attentive service. Food was lovely. Happy to recommend and will be visiting again.

Credit where credit is due. Exquisite has been through a tough time but we had a cracking meal for a large group, booked at short notice. The food was really good, the service was excellent. Well done to the team

We booked ahead as we were a party of 10 and most of us were pleased with the meal. There was a decent amount of choice. Definitely check out the specials at the end of the menu as these are possible to miss. It was good value, especially as it’s ‘bring your own drinks’. Well worth a visit.

This is our favourite Indian restaurant. Luv it. Been the last three Christmas Days. Food always excellent, luv the ambience and staff are great, always made to feel very welcome. Would recommend to anyone.

A friendly atmosphere with great tasting curry. The staff are amazing and the prices are sensible. Ambience is great. Well worth a visit.

All of us teachers went from Repton school we had an amazing time the food was great and the service. We definitely shall be coming back to Exquisite we have been to most Asian restaurants in Burton Exquisite certainly gave us the best experience.

Disappointed. Got here just after opening for a gig at the Town Hall. No-one in and suspect that old chicken left over from the night before may have been used as my wife had some tummy trouble the following night. This isn't an accusation, just a suspicion. Maybe it had nothing to do with the restaurant!

having come back to burton from the cricket in Birmingham we were desperately hungry.

Had a really outstanding meal here last week. The couple we were with had ordered home style chicken. I don't think I ever had chicken as tender succulent or tasty. Absolutely amazing. Also had lamb chops and prawns done with chilli. Beautiful naan bread. All in all a fantastic meal and you can bring your own wine so outstanding value.

I have been going to Exquisite for years and much prefer this place to the competition in Burton.

Con Burton ser muy 'Restaurante Indio rico, la importancia que realmente está en esos lugares para criar a sus juegos.

Después de haber visitado las Coopers Taberna a la vuelta de la esquina, me tomo mi cerveza y entramos en este restaurante que me hizo sentir muy bienvenido como una cena en solitario.

The food at exquisite was pretty good but not special. There is no licence so expect soft drinks only - The lassie was very good !All in all a good curry but there are better offerings in Burton. Atmosphere was a little dull but there were only Two people in the Restaurant (Tuesday night).

We have just had our first taste of this restaurant's delicious food. All the dishes we ordered were faultless and the range of vegetarian dishes was impressive. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent food every time we go . Tasty, full of flavour and nice staff. The atmosphere is nice and you don't wait long for your food.The best one in Burton.

Had been wanting to try this Indian out for a while. Wasn't to busy when we went. The food has to be one of the best tasting Indian meals I have had. My Chicken dish was cooked to perfection, meat was tender and well cooked, spices and heat spot on. Staff considerate and polite will definitely be going back.

Burton has plenty of good Indian restaurants to choose from but this is now one of my favourites. The atmosphere is chilled and not too noisy, making it ideal for catching up with friends. The service is exemplary, with good-humoured waiters. The food tastes great! Everyone in our group of seven people thoroughly enjoyed their meal.Definitely give this place a go if you have never been. It is in a great location near some good ale pubs too.

We went to Exquisite last night for a birthday meal for a friend of mine. I was originally going to rate it as Very Good, but it lost a couple of points for not being licensed and being a bit on the small side. However, those two things shouldn't stop you from going if you fancy a curry.The staff were friendly, and very accommodating considering the mess and noise our one-year-old made. The food was very nice, and the naan breads weren't ludicrously big, as is sometimes the case in other Indian restaurants.If you're in Burton and you fancy a curry, I reckon you could do a lot worse than Exquisite.

Ideal for the cheap meal with great food and serviceThe exquisite special is very nice and they have a large choice on the menuNever had a bad meal here and the pickle tray is great

Friends took me for an early birthday meal. The staff are very friendly and you are given a good welcome. The service was excellent and food good. We had poppadoms and pickles then chicken tikka with salad and mint yoghurt. The chapatti was fab. It's good as you take your own alcohol so reasonably priced.

Wonderful service from Siddek, he is very attentive. The last few visits to Exquisite have been some of the best meals we have had. Very good value for money and well worth a trip.

Food is delicious everytime, staff are very helpfull and provide great service. Highly recommend a visit.

First t ime in a while i have seen a well cooked puree bread. Tasty food, great service and will be back!

Visited last night with my husband, booked a table for 9pm & when we arrived the place was full. We were seated and given plenty of time to look at the menu, the place was buzzing with activity & the food coming out of the kitchen looked fabulous. For starters I had garlic mushrooms & my husband had chicken chat, both were lovely my husband saying best ever chat. For mains we played safe going for chicken tikka balti with rice nana bread and chips, words can't describe how fabulous it was, lovely big pieces of chicken and plenty of it. Being an Indian you have to take your own booze. The total bill was £24, which to me was excellent value you can pay that for a take away. Servest at all times was excellent staff are very friendly. We will return soon

We recently visited the Exquisite restaurant for the first time, as it was our wedding anniversary.We found that both the service and the food were second to none. We visit lots of Indian restaurants and this was definitely one of the best, and we can't wait to go back.We would like to thank the staff for making our night so special.

One of the best local Indians around with great service and food served at a decent price. Take your own drinks too which keeps the bill down ;-)

No complaints at all from a table of four. Did think the Chicken Tikka was a bit spicy but it seems that is how the locals like it. I loved it.

Fantastic food all cooked fresh, staff were so friendly, took our own drinks so made it really cheap too! Spicy poppadoms were amazing. Spotlessly clean and lovely decor. Will definitely be back.....soon!!

We ordered a takeaway and I can honestly say that is the worst curry I have had and I am a regular curry eater.The curry was full of oil and in edible,the chips were thin and soggy and the mint sauce and mango chutney was watered down.To think I paid good money for a family order makes my blood boil,never ever again.

Lovely food with a great choice, taking your own drink is always a bonus and with two great pubs next to it it's a good all round winner

On the spur of the moment we decided to come to this curry house for a mid week meal. There were only two other diners in so the service and food was fast. The food was reasonably good. I suppose the draw here is that it is possible to bring your own alcohol. This is a restaurant that I would return to if the occasion arose but not one that I would widely recommend which is a shame as I suspect the ambiance might have been better if it had been busier.

I have previously reviewed this place before and i wasn't impressed but on this occasion i was.Many starters to choose from. We had onion bargees they were lovely with a nice bit of fresh salad. Really tasty. Hubby being Mr Fussy tried the lamb curry(very mild) and he really enjoyed it. I didn't like the service we recieved before but this time very warm and welcoming. Even got a hand shake on the way out! Good value 9 of us all had various starters all had mains with side dishes one dessert £109 for us all. Good or what?

Got invited here for a friends birthday meal. I'll start of by admitting that I'm a fussy eater who doesn't like Indian cuisine. However that aside I was really impressed. I was suggested a dish by my friends half expecting to be served a plate of liquid hot lava, I was pleasantly surprised. A dish Mr Fussy can eat at an Indian. I could go as far as to say I enjoyed it. One thing I would say is don't judge the venue on the decor, it's shocking the staircase is lime green, the gents loo looks like it's been painted with spray tan and the ladies I can only imagine a care beer has exploded it. Taking that out of the equation its a great little place I would happily return to, especially knowing a dish I will now enjoy is on the menu.

a group us eat here regularly & always have excellent food & service. The head waiter always lets us know if there is going to be a bit of a wait. The takeaway service food is as good as the restaurant food

An unlicensed restaurant so bring your oen beer / wine. Located close to the town centre it has a wide menu. Service was good but I think the staff could be more attentive. The counter is at one end of the restaurant and the lone waiting staff seem glued to the spot. This is a small minus point but more than outweighed by the + points at Exquisite.

Went here for the first time last night, never really noticed the place before, but was recommended by a friend. The staff were great, full of recommendations of what to try, couldn't fault the service. We all thought he food was amazing, and as its a bring your own drinks place the bill was less than £50. So will definitely be back. The only reason I gave 4* was because if anything, I thought the decor could be updated, but a minor detail really.

Booked a table the night before eating, great food, great service, great prices. Bring you own booze was a hit with our group. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who like a good Indian. Will be returning next year when I return to Burton Upon Trent. Thanks for a lovely evening

A fabulous restaurant, delicious food and good quality! Friendly service, we go every few months for a meal in a large group! Never had any complaints, will defiantly be returning again

Eat here regularly food is excellent along with the serviceTaking your own drinks really brings the price downYou will not find much better in the town

Went tonight for the first time and the last! On entering the premises we were met by Mr Grumpy. No smile no hello no nothing. Wish we hadn't bothered! We went to our table and wasn't offered a drink had to ask.There was only two other people eating and the waiter never spoke to them either. They asked for more ice for their drinks and that was too much trouble. The speed of waiting for food was good. The food was just ok. Nothing great as we read in the reviews so very dissapointed, As we were finishing another party of 7 came in and they must have been many times as Mr Grumpty actually smiled and spoke! Won't be going back.

I have been a few times to this restaurant with friends who live in Burton and have never been disappointed.It does get quite busy especially toward the weekend so it is best to book.The food is freshly prepared and the portions are a good size. It’s a ‘bring your own’ alcohol establishment, which helps keep the cost of the meal reasonable.The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent.Can’t really fault anything about the place!

Best curry I've had in a while. Very friendly staff. Would definitely go again! Very reasonable prices.

Went here with family on a Friday night, you have to book as they get very busy. Food was lovely and you get plenty and a great price to.

We have started using this Indian Restaurant on a Sunday evening, on our way home. We haven't been disappointed. We book a table, go for a drink in one of the local pubs, then walk in with our respective drinks, as they don't have a licence. Food has been adjusted to suit granddaughter and not a problem a combination of two dishes rolled into one. One person doesn't like hot, so the meal is again adjusted to suit. Staff very accommodating and always makes us welcome.

I have never been to this restaurant before but when I did visit there were 9 of us, the staff very kindly rearranged the tables for us so we could all get around the table and so that we were all comfortable. The staff were very friendly and had a good sense of humour. The food all round was very tasty :) and the price was very reasonable too. The restaurant does not have a license to sell alcohol however they do allow you to take your own and will supply you with glasses. They do serve soft drinks.

We regularly visit this Indian as the staff are extremely friendly and the food is delicious. No alcohol licence so we take our own but we see many use the pubs nearby too. Food is really tasty, staff always friendly and costs are extremely reasonable.

First time at this restaurants went with 10 of us first of all staff mardy never made u feel welcome never bothers we had to wait to order food no one came in over to us we as to wait an hour in between each course which was really bad one meal came out a cold so had to send bk nan breads well MRE like the size of kids pizza no meat in keema nan bland flavourvin curry dips like water

Food is excellent. Menu is extensive to say the least! Staff are freindly and attentive. No drink liscence but has two great pubs either side of it which allow you to take drinks in. Give it a go..you wont be dissapointed.

An excellent place to eat in Burton. The Indian fare on offer is varied and of a very good quality. You take your own drinks as it is not licensed. The atmosphere was good and it was quite busy. An upstairs room has a little less atmosphere but the food is just the same. Everywhere is clean and the staff are friendly. Try it out

Right, the take away from here is excellent & in my humble opinion probably one of the best in BOT.However, the restaurant for me lacks atmosphere as it is far to bright! They are not the only ones guilty of this in BOT, the Apne round the corner also is to bright.Come on guys tone down the lighting & give us a little atmosphere!

This place is regularly busy despite being surrounded by other restaurants. Fabulous food, with a great choice. Good service and atmosphere.

Fantastic Asian food with the added bonus of taking your own wine,or whatever.the service is great and everyone is very welcoming.The food is beautiful

We felt a little sheepish walking in here as we had just walked past on the way to Balti Tower, who it turned out were fully booked out for over an hour. We re-traced our steps to the Exquisite and found it very welcoming. The food was great too with a good variety of dishes. You can take your own alcohol and the bill reflects this with a pleasantly small total.All in all a very enjoyable curry.

This small but friendly, Indian restaurant serves up the most amazing dishes. The staff, particularly Sammy are really friendly and helpful, if you don't know if you will like something they explain the dish to you and if when it arrives, you don't like it they will change it for you.

I've eaten at Exquisite several times now, and always leave very happy. Whether there are a group of us giggling away until late or just the two of us we are always served with efficiency and warmth. The food is fabulous. The waiters are so, so polite. Neither the service or the food suffer when the restaurant is supremely busy. This Indian is a firm favourite amongst me and my friends.

Me and my family have visited this restaurant once or twice a year for the past five years and I can say, without a moments hesitation, that this is one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to.The restaurant itself is small with a nice decor, all the staff are very welcoming and manage to deliver a service that is very attentive without being intrusive, and the food is simply excellent. No matter what dish I have ordered in the past it has been delivered promptly, served exactly to specification and to a very high standard. All of this combined with a very competive price list and excellent choice of dishes makes this restaurant deserve all five stars.Simply could not recommend this restaurant more, they have definitely cemented my custom!

My husband and I went here last night for the first time. We were taken to a table upstairs as the downstairs part was quite full....a shame because the downstairs had a great ambience whereas the upstairs was just a bit like a bedroom! The curry itself was nice, my husband had a problem with his desert, it was still frozen and tasted very old and odd as if it had been in the freezer for years lol! We pointed this out to the waiter and he was quick to change it for the same desert I had which was the mango ice cream. The service here is good and its very clean and great value if you're on a budget. Also a bonus that you can take your own drinks. We will probably go back to our old favourite Apne as I think the curries are outstanding there, but nevertheless Equisite was nice for a change.

Visit regularly and always have good food. It is best to try to get seated away from the door, especially if the weather is cold as the door is obviously constantly in use and it can get draughty.The upstairs overflow to the restaurant is just like someones bedroom with tables in it.Avoid at all costs.Good place to eat, take your own alcohol.Would not really consider eating curry anywhere else.

We visited on a Saturday evening, there were six in our party and we were all impressed with the Exquisite. The establishment is not licensed but this was not an issue for us and it also kept the price down. When the bill did arrive we were all pleasantly surprised as it was extremely good value for money, and the service we received was very good as was the food.

Return visit always find food and service excellent never had a bad meal won't go anywhere elseAlways represents value for money and taking your own booze keeps costs to a minimum

We stumbled across this place because next door but one (Balti Towers) wasn’t open for business and we were en route to the cinema. I will point out that as it was early, we were the only diners in, so I cannot comment on what service is usually like.We were very satisfied and will definitely return when we are next in the area.This is a small traditional Indian restaurant serving the typical British style curries of Dopiaza, Bhunas, Vindaloos, Kormas etc. etc. with a handful of chef’s specials. It is not a top end award winning asian eatery which is reflected in the final bill.Portion sizes are good, as is the amount of meat or fish contained in them.A bonus is that they do not have a drinks licence, therefore take your own, drink what you prefer and not pay uplifted prices for the privilege.The two of us had popadums and pickles, followed by a main course each, we shared a special rice, and a cheese and chilli naan, and it came to under £21.00. Bargain! It was cheaper than a take away!Again, next time we want to eat early evening in Burton, this is the place I'll be heading.

Tried here as Apne was fully booked. Walked out after having the worst starters I've ever had and the waiter was making unwelcome comments about how good looking my 10 year old Daughter was. Totally shocked by this Resturant....0/10 Is my honest opinion...How this place is still trading is beyond me.....

This restaurant served excellent food, the best Indian food I have tasted and it had the benefit of taking our own drink as they weren't licensed. Didn't rush us to finish our meal either. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Sam who often waits on is friendly,polite and efficient.I enjoyed their lemon chicken and my wife enjoys the lamb/ chicken dhansak.Desserts which can be recommended are Chocolate Torte and Mango Sorbet. It is not licensed, but you can take your own drink before 11pm.

I went here for a meal with friends and my girlfriend as had tried to book Apne, but it was full on Friday night. Exquisite had a table and the place looked great from reviews and their website so I thought we'd try it.The staff were very welcoming and polite, and the atmosphere was, albeit quiet initially, great throughout the night. The restaurant is well decorated and is very clean.Poppadoms were on the house and they have no licence, so take your own drinks - makes for a cheap night out! We had starters and mains because we thought there were only three desserts - however there are more, but there is a separate menu they bring you afterwards - just a forewarning!I had the onion bahji to start and a chicken bhuna for main. Both of these were very tasty but a bit too greasy for my liking - we all agreed on this, Apne isn't as greasy at all. But nevertheless it was good tasting traditional indian food. Another slight let down was that I was expecting it to be much hotter than it was - it said on the menu hot and dry, but it was extremely mild.Everyone else enjoyed there food and were pleased with the restaurant. The staff were always very helpful and very jovial.For four of us to have starters and mains and a side order of nan breads each it came to around £40 which I thought was extremely good value!The night was excellent apart from a group of 8 lads who ruined it for everyone. They were very rowdy and drunk; they kept spilling the drinks everywhere and annoying a group of ladies behind them. Nevertheless, they did go soon after and the atmosphere was restored. This is nothing to do with the restaurant and isn't a negative aimed at the restaurant.Overall, I was very impressed. I would come again for the tasty food and great prices. Although I do think Apne is better - more tasty, hotter and less greasy. I would recommend this to anyone though.

We went as a group having seen the resturant advertised, and another place nearby was fully booked and could not accomodate us.The staff were very welcoming and polite. Drinks can be bought in by yourself or alternatively the Devonshire will allow you to take drink away to the resturant.Popadums and pickles were provided, free of charge and whilst not particuarly inspiring they were ok.The orders were taken and arrived a short time later, piping hot and very tasty indeed.The price of a Lamb Madras Balti, with rice and a garlic nan was less than ten pounds, excellent value for money.The only down side to the resturant is the very tired decor, especially the stairs and whilst the facilities are clean, again they need painting. A little time spent on these issues will enhance the otherwise pleasant ambiance supplied by the staff.Well recommended.

Am a regular here . It may not have the ambience of a posh restaurant , but the food and atmosphere more than make up for it . Often interaction between tables is a friendly place to go for curry . Is very cheap as well but the food is as good as much more pricey venues.They are so accommodating it will be your favourite restaurant in no time .

Wonderful curry, always excellent service, big thanks to Sam, easily the best curry house in Burton.

Returned to Exguisite again this time with family. Never fails to deleiver quailty tasty food and excellent serviceAlways in pleasant surrounds and taking your own bottle keeps the price down

You consistently get good food and excellent service. Meet Sam who will make you feel welcome and ensure you are enjoying your meal. If it's value for money you are looking for then look no further. An affordable meal to make any night an exquisite night. Don't forget your bottle (of whatever)

I visted this restaurant with my husband the other week, first time we've been here and so glad we found it. The staff we're very friendly!!The decor is a little on the cheesy side with the tigers painted on the walls but once the curry comes out and you taste it you forget about the 80's cheese tastic walls..... We've had many currys in our time and this we can honestly say was one of the best we've ever had. The currys tasted fresh, you could taste all the herbs, the chicken was nicely cooked - it actually looked like it was a curry made from scratch as apose to a microwaveable curry from another establishiment. The price was also very reasonable and happily tipped them as it was beautiful. We didnt realise it was a BYO which was unfortunate but we know for next time. This looks like a very popular place as the staff knew the people coming in to eat which was a nice personal touch. Overall I'd highly recommend it and will be going there again very soon..... but i'll be booking to avoid disapointment!!

Excellent food well presented. Take your own drinks. Service good in pleasant atmosphere
