Grand Indian Restaurant in Bedford

Food was stale, pakora batter was old. Overall food was maybe a few days cold meat was very rubbery.

Excellent rogan josh, butter chicken absolutely beautiful, will definitely be returning 5*****

We live in Cambridgeshire and this is the first time we’ve eaten in the Grand India . Great food , lovely welcoming owner and staff . Thank you

Grand Indian Restaurant is a culinary treasure, offering a memorable experience filled with vibrant flavors, exceptional service, and a touch of elegance. Here’s a detailed account of my visit: Ambiance The restaurant’s decor is a blend of traditional Indian charm and contemporary sophistication. Intricate carvings, warm lighting, and soft Indian music create a relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot for a family gathering, a romantic dinner, or even a solo indulgence. Service The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. They were attentive without being intrusive and happy to provide detailed explanations of the dishes. Our server made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences, enhancing the overall experience. Food The menu at Grand Indian Restaurant is a testament to the richness of Indian cuisine, with dishes that cater to all palates. • Starters: The tandoori platter was a highlight, with perfectly charred chicken tikka, and tender lamb kebabs. The vegetable samosas were crisp and packed with flavor. • Main Course: • The butter chicken was rich and creamy, with just the right balance of spices. • The lamb vindaloo had a delightful heat, with tender chunks of meat in a robust, flavorful gravy. • For vegetarians, the malai kofta was a standout—soft dumplings in a decadent, spiced sauce. • Breads & Rice: The garlic naan was buttery and fragrant, complementing the curries perfectly, while the biryani was aromatic and packed with spices. • Desserts: The kulfi was creamy and authentic, and the gulab jamun was a sweet, syrupy treat to end the meal. Value for Money Though slightly upscale, the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justify the price. Portions are generous, and the attention to detail in every dish makes it worth the splurge. Overall Grand Indian Restaurant excels in delivering a true taste of India with a touch of sophistication. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for exceptional Indian cuisine, this place won’t disappoint. Highly recommended for lovers of authentic, flavourful dishes served in a refined setting!

Had a great meal, lovely service, tasty food and great value. Raj looked after us all evening, and we will be back

Excellent food and quality. Freindly delivery chap. Recommended.

I received onion bhaji instead of sag aloo

Ordered a meal for 5. Arrived on time food was excellent, itv was sons birthday and could not fault it. Our thanks

Well flavoured food which arrived nice and hot.

Tikka massage carton was damaged and leaking. I ordered poppadoms and there was none with the order. We order from Grand quite a bit and this was disappointing.

Amazing restaurant and ever such kind people. They know us by name and always make us feel welcome. Ray and Raj are so friendly and the food is absolutely amazing. They customise our dinner to our preference and nothing is ever too much trouble. 10/10

My family has been coming here for years. Incredible food, particularly all the tikkas, and the service is impeccable.

We made a last minute plan to head out for a family meal and headed to The Grand. It was fantastic from start to finish. The warmest of welcomes and brilliant service without any rush which we like. Tried the fish pakora as a starter for the first time which was delicious and delicate. The Imperial Byriani is always a must and the Mumbai meatballs are always good for sharing. This place has been brilliant for 30 years as I had my first proper curry here aged 13. Definitely one of Bedford’s best.

had to reheat the meal a little, but then tasted ok

Lamb in the Korai was so tough I could just about chew it. Butter chicken tasted gritty. Was rather bland too

Very nice food with my friends, an a nice evening out.

excellent flavours, and good sized portions

ordered a meal for the missus, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. loves the fact that she can get a quorn curry for her 'veggie days'.

Amazing, tasty dishes. First time ordering from here - won't be the last! Thank you.

Always THE best Indian food. Honestly I come from London to eat here. Never fails to disappoint, and is ALWAYS delivered with a happy face💕

I ordered from this resturaunt and they got my order wrong. They admitted their wrong doing but refused to change the curry for the right one. Robbed my money blind. I hope the riots smash your shop up

Just ordered from here and they got my order wrong. They admitted they got it wrong but refused to switch it for the right food. Robbed me blind. I hope the riots smash your shop up

Grate delivery great food wasn’t quite as good as normal but was still very tasty

Food was not good at all. Even the indian guy did not like it

First ever order that hasn't been perfect. The main was just very bland and the meat had a rubbery texture. 2 sides were great.

the missus has to be careful with the amount of meat products that she consumes, so is very happy to find quorn as an option for her curry. 3rd order of this combination and it leaves a smile on her face and an empty plate.

Perfect food as always - eaten here over 30 years and the food NEVER disappoints. If u get a chance to eat in, you MUST, seriously. The staff are so lovely and the atmosphere is calming and comfortable. Had to have delivery today but it was as hot and fresh as when dining in. Also, tonight’s delivery driver was AMAZING…..so i hope Just Eat read these reviews and reward the restaurant AND the driver when customers are happy 🤞🙏🤞🙏

Always stunning food! Extremely polite delivery guy, food piping hot, packaged brilliantly and utterly delicious 😋

Best Indian in Bedford, never been anywhere with kinder staff! Best food you’ll find and wonderful atmosphere! Family has been going here for nearly 40 years (and for good reason). I've since moved away from Bedford and this is the main thing I miss and order when I come back!

Once again the food was beautifully flavoured.

marvellous flavours, and all dishes arrived in perfect condition.

My favourite sit down Indian in Bedford been coming since I was a child and I'm nearly 30 now and the staff haven't changed that's how you know it's good! The food is amazing and always top, the service is great the atmosphere is perfect too, lovely place! We come on a Saturday today but we usually do there Wednesday deal which is amazing and brilliant value for money something which you can't find somewhere else, a real gem of Bedford do not miss this one

Delicious and fab service Would recommend yum yum yum yum Would return Onion bhaji very nice I enjoyed it a looooooooooot

Came here for dinner with my partner. One of our favourite restaurants in Bedford. Great customer service from Raj would definitely recommend everyone to visit!

Wanted to go out for evening Sunday dinner which we were able to as the grand is open on Sundays the food was quick and really good. Brilliant service

Amazing as usual, plenty of meat in all of the order, very happy, thank you for a delicious meal again.

Absolutely loved it here. 6 of us went for a meal on their midweek gourmet and the food was gorgeous, fast attentive service and hot plates. We will definitely return

Great meal with friends last evening..food Excellent actually perfect..waiters very efficient very attentive..the decor and cleanliness is spot on ..thanks for a great evening x

Main meal was very nice but was let down by the papadums. They tasted of stale fat. Such a shame.

Onion bhajis not good as paying £3.80 very small and over cooked. Not happy with them tonight. Chicken Madras not as good as usual. Maybe different Chef, but consistently should be important.

Very lovely food - tandoori chicken was delicious, keema rice had lovely big pieces of keema in it, Bengal green curry was lovely with plenty of lamb, and you put extra green chillies in for me which is very kind of you. Thank you very much for the food, and for delivering it with friendly service.

Roti was soggy, bhuna was tasteless, very disappointed

Delicious food, delivered promptly. Thank you

These guys are great. Food is fantastic, and the chicken tikka is so flavourful.

Great meal ,thank you ,will recommend A++++

Meat content smaller. Otherwise good

Very tasty curries, would have liked some more pieces of lamb in both curries. Chicken pakoras were ok, but price is a bit too high for them, as they were more like plain battered chicken to me. Tandoori king prawns are the best around, as they are the big twirly ones - please keep doing these as I love them! Nice delivery driver, and he came right up to the door, thank you very much.

Very good quality food and service. Recommended.

Lovely place and great food, very friendly hosts

Beautiful food. Excellent service. Brother Ray always smiling treated me to a lot of ❤️ This will be my regular. It a shame I live in London but I'm happy to drive down to this place. I highly recommend the naga lamb chilli.

Best Indian food I ever had everyone should come here to try their Indian food. The customer service is 10/10 thank you to Ray for excellent customer service

Always a nice experience that doesn't break the bank. The food is really good with something for everyone on the menu, staff are attentive and create a relaxed atmosphere.

Just had a lovely meal there. Good service and delicious food. It's our second visit in 43 years. Note to self: Must go more often.

Lovely curry! Couldn’t fault it in any way!!

Couldn't be bothered to do my order so they cancelled it. 20 mins before closing. Pathetic. Won't order again.

Very tasty food . Great friendly service

third time have had my order sent very late .have used these regularly for 5 years but no more now

Best Indian I’ve had for a while. Food all fresh and full of flavour

Always love the food from here.... will order again x

Really yummy food and super friendly place whether eating in or taking away. Lots of great Indian places to eat in Bedford but this is right up there. Also love that they do Quorn pieces as an option and loads of vegan/vegetarian options. Highly recommend

Excellent grub and good unfussy service. We'll definitely go back.

Not very friendly manager was rude

Beautiful food and brilliant service every single time I order. Keep up the great work!

subtle flavours, that didn't mask each other. arrived on time, and was nice and hot (temperature). Lovely grub.

Thank you. See you again soon..

Great food for a Xmas meal with my quiz team.

Always great food and service in a classic setting. Greeted with a smile and will keep coming back.

Although the food was delivered on time despite the good reviews the food was poor. It was flavourless. The lamb was tough the tikka salmon lacked flavour or any authenticity. Won’t be ordering again.

Lovely food, but surely 80 minutes pre delivery time shouldn't end up as a 15+ minutes late. Almost as though the restaurant and not the customer has any control on when their food arrives.

saag paneer was fresh but Alu gobhi seemed old and had a sour taste as if about to go bad.

Once again top food by top lovely people, FANTASTIC!

The food is excellent but we had a delivery. It took 95 mins and food was far from hot. Reheated and what great flavours. My suggestion is eat in or collect.

Food was excellent as was the service. A very pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended the restaurant.

Excellent food, best Indian we’ve had in Bedford. Deffo recommend this place!!!

Such wonderful flavours - PERFECT

Missing poppadoms, but the rest was usual quality.

Food was very tasty Thank you 🙌🏻

Best curry restaurant in Bedford,great food and service

More varied salad with starters. 3 salads/3 starters would have been better than 2 salads/3 starters. Overall a good meal.

Chicken over cooked food tasted not a good quality onion barji was tiny and tasted of nothing

On time and very tasty food would highly recommend

1st time had food from here. Takeaway. Really enjoyed it.

Friendly delivery driver...amazing food .tasty and lots of it

I haven't had the pleasure of dining here yet, I don't like leaving my deaf and blind dog at home on her own, however, I do get takeaway meals delivered to my door by polite and friendly drivers and I am very grateful for their good service. As for the food, I cannot sing my praises highly enough for the delicious food I receive from the Grand Indian kitchen. The quality and flavours of the meals are absolutely amazing. Five stars is not enough for this establishment which I consider to be the eighth wonder of the world. Thank you guys, you are much appreciated.

Food great excellent service from Grand India

When I say this is the BEST Indian restaurant. I mean it!! I’ve never had good this amazing in my life!!!

The sauces were very good - the rest was not. The chicken was dry as sawdust. I don’t get how a restaurant can make such great sauces and fail so miserably with the meat.

Just been here today for a meal with my partner and as per usual the food was delicious 😋 The staff are always very welcoming I have been eating here since it opened way back yonder Excellent 👌

Nice food , bengal green very nice 👍

That was the worst meal I’ve ever had it was so bland and greasy I didn’t even eat it. If I had come to the restaurant and had this I would not be paying for it and I won’t be ordering food from here again. I’ve had more flavour in eating plain bread😬😬😬

Good food, especially the meatballs. Thank you!

The first time visit was definitely a worth...The food has great taste... with a mix of authentic bengal spices the restuarant is for sure a one stop shop to visit when you visit our small town Bedford.... Ambience and the interior gives a so Indian vibe..

Food was good as always. But did forget poppadoms and was 10mins late.

A brilliant Indian restaurant who does equally brilliant take out

LITERALLY the best Indian restaurant

Food was sadly very average and far to oily to eat the amount of oil was horrible and the lamb was tough and flavourless. Most ended up in the bin 😞

We enjoyed a tasty meal with popadoms, king prawn puri, lamb biryani & chicken jalfrezi with garlic naan - highly recommend

Always lovely food and staff members, big portions and good attention to detail with heated racks to keep dishes on your table hot. Bengal green curry is especially good!

The food was excellent. We haven't used the Grand for a while now and forgot how nice the food was .Will definitely use again
