Frangipani in Cheltenham

I had a great time! I was really impressed by how well the food balanced the spices. Overall, it was delicious and fantastic, and I can't wait to dine here again! 😊

Last night, my husband and I dined here and were thoroughly impressed with both the food and service. We will certainly be returning!

Charming restaurant with welcoming service and delicious food and quite large portions.

An excellent dining spot offering great value and generous portions. Perfect for enjoying a curry. A really pleasant place overall!

This is the finest Indian restaurant I've visited in Cheltenham in a long time. Though it's been established for quite a while, it was my first visit, and it certainly lived up to the hype.

Outstanding food and beverages. The staff are always eager to help. It's consistently top-notch. Thank you!

This is the best Indian restaurant I've been to in Cheltenham in quite a while. Although it's been around for years, this was my first time visiting, and it exceeded my expectations.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal here not long ago. The service was excellent, the food was superb, and the prices were fair.

I ordered a few dishes for dinner, and they were delightful. The staff were also very friendly.

Wonderful food and service. They genuinely care about their customers. Highly suggested!

Fantastic location. Neat and organized. You can find anything you need. The staff is really cheerful.

Delicious food. Nice and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Delightful experience at this outstanding cuisine. Food was tasty and staff was very welcoming too.

warm and friendly welcome from the owners, who provided exceptional and personalized service throughout my visit. The restaurant boasts a charming and cozy ambiance, enriched by thoughtful details that make the dining experience truly special.

I appreciated the beautiful crockery and matching bowls used for serving, which added a lovely touch compared to the typical sterile metal dishes often found elsewhere. The food was outstanding, featuring a diverse selection of dishes that you won’t encounter in an ordinary Indian restaurant.

The decor is vibrant, contemporary, and inviting. The service is excellent, and the food is fantastic. There's also a wonderful variety of drinks available.

Consistently flavorful and fresh with just the right level of spice. The draft beer is enjoyable as well.

I had a delicious Indian meal that looked great and tasted amazing. The chef's specials were fantastic, and I definitely plan to go back.

Frangipani Spice Lounge delivered an amazing dining experience! The service was really great, with our orders arriving right on time

The food was absolutely delicious. We particularly loved the prawns, which were simply incredible!

I had an outstanding experience at Frangipani Spice Lounge! The service was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed.

The flavors of the food were simply divine, can't wait to return and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant on my next visit!

What a fantastic meal at Frangipani Spice Lounge! The service was top-notch—always on time and incredibly friendly. The food was nothing short of delicious.

What a fantastic dining experience! absolutely delicious.

The food was fresh, genuine, and incredibly tasty. The prices were very affordable as well. I can't wait to return for another delightful meal!"

We had such a delightful dining experience! Our son, who has a nut allergy, was able to enjoy a nut-free curry during a school visit to the restaurant. Impressed by this, we decided to dine there as a family. The attentive staff remembered his previous meal and prepared it again for him, which he thoroughly relished. It was a pleasure to have a meal together as a family, and our own dishes were equally delightful.

My brother and I recently dined at the Royal Ashoka and had a wonderful experience. Robin and the rest of the team took great care of us. The starters were a burst of flavors that delighted our taste buds, setting the stage for the rest of the meal to be fantastic. We are already planning our next trip from Weston Super Mare to Chippenham to revisit this gem. Robin, your team, the delicious food, and your excellent service made our visit truly worthwhile.

This place really raises the standard for Indian restaurants! It's a fantastic spot where meals are crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic Indian spices. Their menu is diverse, reasonably priced, and sets them apart from other Indian restaurants with generous portion sizes that don't leave you feeling overly full. The service is excellent, with a team of friendly and attentive staff.

This restaurant is superb, with exceptional food. Don't miss out on the fish curry; it's truly outstanding.

This Indian restaurant is top-notch, especially the chef's specials! A must-visit spot if you happen to be in Chippenham.

Out of all the restaurants I've tried, ROYAL ASHOKA truly stands out. The food quality is exceptional, service is top-notch, especially from the excellent waiter, Robin. I highly suggest experiencing their diverse Indian cuisine and chef's specialties. The friendly waitstaff made my fine dining experience feel welcoming and comfortable. The starters are creatively presented; you can customize your order to your liking. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the food prices are very competitive.

Service at this place is exceptional; it's our go-to spot for takeout. The staff is friendly, efficient, and the food is always delicious. Even though we live in Calne, we don't mind going the extra mile to order from here. Their consistency in impressing us never wavers!

The Saag Aloo was equally impressive, with rich, authentic flavors that left us wanting more.

The flavors were bold and exciting, and every bite was a delight. Can't wait to come back!

I'm so impressed with this restaurant! The service was exceptional -

The cuisine is exquisite, with each dish crafted to perfection. The flavors are well-balanced, and the presentation is impeccable.

Absolutely delectable and incredibly juicy! The service here is exceptionally warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone

Fantastic food complemented by a wonderful atmosphere. My friends and I had a delightful time and left thoroughly satisfied.

I normally never leave bad reviews, but unfortunately this place is the most disappointing food and depressing ambiance with a pricy menu. First off, the pictures you see in the Google reviews are outdated as they have downsized and there is no outdoor food option available. Honestly you won’t even find the place as it’s in the basement floor with no signs of clear visibility. The Indian food served is abysmal in taste there is only two people for the entire restaurant, one serves the food and the other cooks. They had no customers on an weekend evenings while the opposite restaurant and the park was full, literally it was just my family in the entire restaurant, that should have been our first sign to return back but I had paid three hours parking and though of risking it, but it wasn’t worth it. Please try the other Indian restaurants like Bombay or Everest which is far better. Or just go to Weatherspoons or even buy ready to eat Indian dish from Tesco freezer you won’t be disappointed.

The food was great and the service was very good. The staff is nice and attentive. This was our second visit since the new management took over.

The service here is excellent. We always come here for our takeaways. The staff is friendly and efficient.

A very friendly, family-run Indian restaurant, conveniently located in the town center.

The food was tasty, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend the experience.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've visited (try the chef specials!).

I visited on a quiet weeknight, and we were the only customers there. The food was incredibly tasty, and the service was excellent. Being part of a Pakistani family, I struggle to find authentic curry places, but this one really impressed me. The food was fresh, authentic, and so delicious. Plus, the prices were very reasonable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

We've been going there for a while now. The food is always delicious, and if there's ever an issue, Mo, the owner, quickly fixes it to our satisfaction. I'm surprised by the negative reviews because they are definitely one of the best restaurants in Cheltenham, especially if you enjoy a good curry. The food is consistently tasty, arrives hot, and the prices are fair.

This was a very quiet evening, therefore the atmosphere is difficult to quantify however the food and service was pretty good

Horrible food and very bad customer service! Very rude staff! spoiled the evening for us with pathetic food and services

Good curry, friendly and helpful staff in a central Cheltenham location. I loved the decor and the prices are really reasonable so I can’t understand why half the tables were empty in a Saturday night.

This is the third time we have eaten here and the food has always been excellent along with the service. The dishes are always flavoursome and fresh tasting.

I visited this hidden gem in the summer with a friend. It was one of the best meals I have ever had! I have been meaning to come back as soon as possible! I took my family on a Sunday for the buffet. Good selection of curries, rice, naan, starters and dessert. Amazing flavours, fabulous staff, I can’t recommend this place enough. One of my all time favourite restaurants. Cant wait to come back! ⭐️

Decided to give Frangipani a try based on the positive reviews here. Ordered a takeaway for delivery on a Friday evening. The food was plentiful, tasty and reasonably priced. The delivery was slightly earlier than we booked, but that wasn’t a problem. This will be our new “go to” for an Indian takeaway….

We had a works function and the food was lovely even catering on a large scale...we all had a lovely evening and would definitely go back.

What a little gem find with amazing food! The chef is really accommodating if you want any little tweaks to your dish or extras. Lovely atmosphere with very helpful staff. Will definitely return soon! Highly recommended!

I order from here all the time. Absolutely superb food and service always on time and always tastes amazing 5 stars

We ordered a delivery after really wanting to try the restaurant for a while. The owner delivered our order, really great service, on time and the food was delicious- We all really enjoyed our meals- and the prawns were incredible!! We can’t wait to eat in the restaurant next time! Thank you very much!

We ordered a delivery after really wanting to try the restaurant for a while. The delivery was on time, the owner delivered our food - he was very friendly. The food was delicious and we cannot wait to try and eat in the restaurant- thank you very much!

I went with my friend for my birthday meal and the food was to die for. We went around 7pm and we were the only ones there whilst a lot of takeaways were collected throughout our visit. I had a lamb coconut curry with a 2 chili rating and my spice tolerance is quite good so I personally wouldn’t have described it as spicey but I loved it so much when I left I ordered a take away of the same to take home to my boyfriend as well as some amazing onions bahjis. The dining experience was top quality and I will definitely be returning and ordering many takeaways from this place

Make sure you make the effort to find this place. Really great decor, friendly helpful staff and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed a lovely evening and definitely will return when back in the town.

Came here on a week night, we were the only people in the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and superb service. I married into a Pakistani family so I find it hard to come by a nice “authentic” curry house when I come home. This place hit the nail on the head, food was fresh, authentic and absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced too. Can’t wait to come back.

Most excellent food, very authentic staff were friendly and very welcoming. Lovely would highly recommend

The place is a hidden gem... food was amazing and the service too. Had visited a long time ago but thought I would revisit. It is a lovely place with the best food all of us were happy with the different choices.

Having read 2 previous reviews, I wasn't expecting much from my delivery. How wrong was I, Muttar Paneer, perfectly golden paneer, plenty of sweet peas and delicious sauce. Lamb Biryani with a mixed vegetable curry, once again, well spiced and tasty. I have to add, that the vegetable curry which accompanied the biryani was particularly good. All in all, an excellent meal.

Service was friendly and the food was excellent really enjoyed our meal and would go back again when in Cheltenham!

We were mooching around Cheltenham looking for somewhere nice to eat after a concert at The Cheltenham Music Festival when we happened upon The Frangipani Spice Lounge. The amazing smells coming from inside drew us in - with some degree of enthusiasm. The rather unglamorous entrance is a complete contrast to the inside of the restaurant. It has been recently decorated to a calm and comfortable atmosphere. The music is really lovely too. There is a large varied menu with interesting bits of information about the recipes which is a nice touch. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We were rather late eating so it was a bit quieter and Mo, the owner and chef, came out for a chat. Listening to him talking about his cooking, it was perfectly clear why the food was so exceptionally good. He cooks everything from fresh and he uses fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients together with Mo's passion for cooking are the secret to the success of this fabulous restaurant. We were made so welcome and had a fabulous meal

Had dinner here last night. Service was friendly. However, the food wasn’t brilliant, both chicken curry dishes were ok but not very flavoursome. The popadums were fresh but the dips were very different to other curry places.

Great food and service with friendly staff. Our first visit and will definitely return soon with froends

A bit tricky to find from the back street but when we were on the main road and saw the sign it was so obvious ... So, Saturday night, us, another couple, and a group of about 12 young people. And they'd had a few. And to be honest they were pretty lairy. Normally this is my nightmare, but as they got more ridiculously loud and rude to each other ... the mood changed, especially after the "dead cat" tattoo incident. Anyway, as they were leaving they bought us a bottle of prosecco and apologised for their language - "we're builders, and that's how we talk". Onto the food. We had onion bhajias (classic, pretty good, perhaps a bit crispy) and paneer, then okra (achari bindi- pleasant enough but a bit hard to distinguish what was what) and a saag paneer side [I can eat a lot of paneer] and a lamb curry and an aloo gobi. All perfectly good, tasty and spicy, served well. The slightly older gentleman helping with service was great - friendly, informed, and interested to know what we did for a living, and delighted that there was an overlap between what we do (he has a job elsewhere too!). He and his mate, off to a local club after serving, what excellent advertisements for fellas in their 60s! If you go to FSL off the back of the review, ask them their views about teaching algebra in schools!

We were fans of Mo’s (the chef) from his restaurant in Chippenham and were delighted to have found him again! the food has been refined to an even higher standard, and the decoration of the new restaurant is very elegant! Thank you for a delicious meal and experience, we will be coming back!

Four of us visited this lovely Indian Restaurant Sunday evening, and have to say , the ambiance, the food the staff were brilliant. The menu is different from normal curry restaurants, but all dishes we had were superb ! Thank you for everything and we...

A massive thank you to Mo and Angie for their fantastic hospitality this evening - great food and service We will be back (with friends)

We went to Cheltenham for 3 days, we go down from Scotland every year, we are curry experts and the curry we had in frangipani was one of the best i have had , everything was fresh . We will definitely be back, moira and...

We had dinner at this place last weekend. Although the chef and the staff are good but I didnt find the portion size good enough to justify a 7.something pound starter. For vegetable platter they just gave 3 different indian starters which were okay . In the main course We tried dal tarka with steam rice which was good but the mutter paneer was very sweet in taste. Was overall a bit okay experience compared to other restaurants we had dined in.

Two of us dined here on a Friday night. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. A complimentary iced Baileys at the end was a nice touch! Will definitely be going back!

Lovely independent restaurant, went here for my birthday celebration. The place is nicely decorated, the staff are friendly and the food is good. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic! Absolutely loved this place!

We've used them a while now. The food is always great and if it's not 100% mo (the owner) resolves it swiftly and satisfactory. I don't understand all the negative reviews because they are easily one of the best in cheltenham and I love a curry. The food always tastes great. Food is piping hot when delivered. Pricing is reasonable. Customer service is 100%. Ignore the hatters.

We went on recommendation and it’s a hidden gem tucked away downstairs,the food was authentically delicious,the restaurant was nicely decorated with a great ambiance and the host was very attentive and charming. We can’t wait to return

I first went here a few weeks ago for a hen do. The staff were really attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. So much so that last weekend I took my partner. He is a massive fan of Indian food and was blown...

Had an extremely tasty meal on Saturday evening. The Shaslik was very good. The staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! Staff were very attentive and super friendly. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. This was our first visit but definitely not our last. Special thanks to Manny, a great host

Excellent food and service. Quiet on a Thursday night. Come on let’s get this great restaurant off the ground! Very friendly and welcoming staff. The chef even came out and chatted with us.

We ordered various dishes from chicken dalcha to lamb dhansak, lamb byriani, chicken tikka massala and several side dishes. Mostly very good with good levels of spice and depth of flavor. Rice and naan breads average.

We had a delivery from here last week having just moved into the area and it was excellent. The best Indian takeaway we’ve had in Cheltenham, highly recommended

The first thing to note is that the restaurant fit out is pleasant. Although when I was there, the ladies toilet seat was missing. The wait staff and kitchen staff are very nice and helpful. The atmosphere was a little stiff. Do not open the...

4 of us (2 couples) revisited this restaurant during our weekend trip to Cheltenham for the races. The previous year my friend had a beef dish which he really enjoyed (a dish he had never seen on an Indian menu anywhere else). The dish was...

A very warm and friendly welcome from the owners who provided a very efficient and personal service. The restaurant has a lovely cosy atmosphere and everything has a nice personal touch, it was really nice to have beautiful crockery and the food served in matching bowls rather than the usual rather sterile metal dishes you often see. The food was excellent with a great selection of dishes that you won’t find in your run of the mill Indian restaurant. I really couldn’t fault it, 5 out of 5 stars 😊

The best Indian in Cheltenham! Food is lovely and really modern Indian restaurant… lovely people in their and brilliant service. Highly recommend!!

One of the best meals I’ve had. The service and interior is beautiful. Extremely pleased with the food also. A great place to come. All round brilliant. The Owner is also extremely attentive. Extremely pleased

Overall a pretty mediocre experience. Firstly they put water in the table and such a tiny label on it (easy to miss) saying "not complimentary", this seemed pretty sleazy. I had onion bhaji for starter, it was overcooked and dry - basically just crumbled apart when I cut it. Lamb curry for main which was ok but nothing special. Service wasn't too bad and staff seemed friendly.

Fantastic meal, fresh and tasty with friendly staff, we’ll be back again soon. If you like Indian food it’s a must.

Orded online, picked up 20mins later. Great website, makes it very easy, even tells you what you had last time. Food was very good, I had the lamb Lal Gosht, the portion was generous and the lamb was fat free and tender. It was advertised...

Great food and v friendly staff

Just very average post pub curry but twice the price. Theres a reason you can get a booking! Pre cooked starters and just bang average mains. Paying for the location.

Just ordered a takeaway really bad food Chicken lollipop was full of oil and okra curry had no taste at and so oily no okra at all Would never recommend this place Ordered from Deepam yesterday so much better

Really enjoyed the food here, very nice flavor and the vibe was fancy. Although the prices are more expensive in store and the receipt is done in a very old fashioned way (pen writing) so hard to figure out what to pay if you are paying seperately.

Me and my partner visited for a meal this evening as we was in Cheltenham for the night and not familiar with the area. After trip advisoring the best places in the area this one appeared and we was quite fancying a curry. We was...

We have visited this restaurant a number of times in the last few weeks & it’s now our new favourite place. Mo is extremely welcoming & always sits down for a nice chat with us. It’s a bit hidden which is a shame but with...

We have become regulars at this restaurant due to the consistently high qualty of the dishes on offer. The spicing is always perfect with a great variety of flavours. The flavours 'pop' in your mouth! Highly recommend this restaurant for Takeaway and restaurant service.
