Indian Brasserie in Cheltenham

We've just had a family meal at the Indian Brasserie. We love this restaurant and are never disappointed; the food and service are great and we always receive a warm welcome.

Great meal really good service really nice laid back atmosphere would recommend

Having tried many an Indian restaurant in England and Canada, the Indian Brasserie Cheltenham has far surpassed any of my previous visits!! From the decor to the service to the food, everything was 5 star. The spicy shrimp starter was delicious and the Chicken Madras was the tastiest I have every had and the garlic, cheese naan, amazing. Sorry, absolutely no room for dessert so cannot recommend there. Prices were resonable and the wine a good pairing with the food. We will definatly be back and will bring any visitors we have in future.

Absolutely superb - The staff were friendly and attentive (as ever) and the food last night was seriously good. I had the Kohli Piaz Mirchi & it was the tastiest curry I've eaten for a long time (and that's up against a lot of other excellent curries) - my friends had a Chicken Jalfrezi, Kohli Mohli & Chicken Uppakari - all of them were extremely impressed. We'll most definitely be back, both to eat in and for takeaways.

Excellent menu with some unusual dishes. I like them quite warm and the Lamb Rezela was just the ticket, the meat was tender and the spices were well infused therein. The Spicy Prawns starter was also full of flavour with garlic to the fore. The restaurateur (Dada) was very friendly and keen to engage in conversation about the origin of the recipes.

Excellent in every way. Generous portions and very tasty. Very pleasant, efficient staff. Very enjoyable evening, thank you.

The waiters/waitress could hardly raise a smile. I didn't feel welcome. Food was OK but nothing to make me rush back for. But it wasn't bad either. The chipped plate was disappointing. Prices high for what you get a 50p soft drink in the can for £3.95. Poppadoms £1.50 each but wait for it another £1.50 per person for the condiments. So £9.00 for 2 to have 2 seemed a little over the top to me. I've had better elsewhere. Can't say I'd bother going back. Shame because it used to be a class above the rest some time back.

Went last night, it was REALLY decent. Highly recommend. Great curry, great drinks and great service. Thanks

Food beautifully cooked and tasty, service efficient and attentive without being intrusive, in particular from Dada. Highly recommended, good value.

Absolutely fantastic food! The best onion bhaji I’ve ever tasted.

Staff make you feel immediately welcome. Service was excellent with food being served just at the right times between courses. Food was spot on and managed to cater for individual request. Great restaurant 👍

Delicious food, great service and reasonable price - what more do you want! I went with four friends, we were made to feel at home.

Five of us enjoyed a delicious meal here last night. All had different main courses and all very happy with our food. The service was friendly and efficient too.

On Friday, I arranged a reunion with some old work colleagues and booked a table here. I hadn't been here for a few years, but I am happy to report that we had a great night. The food was delicious and the service excellent, as it always used to be. Thank you the the manager Dada, who was very patient, as I had to keep changing our numbers, as a few people dropped out last minute. I can personally recommend the Kholee Caffrel & the Tandoori garlic chilli chicken! Will be back again soon! 😀

I have recently visited there place.Food is so awesome and tasty.Staff behaviour is also very polite and decent.Mostly behaviour of Mr.Ripon (owner) is so overwhelmed.Enjoyed a lot.

Brilliant Indian restaurant and great service.

The food was excellent and Dada was very friendly and helpful. He made our night and I would highly recommend!!

Not your run of the mill Indian menu. I had Erachi Thoran, which was superb. I have ate in Indian restaurants for over forty years, and that was the best lamb I have ever eaten. So soft and tender. Truly amazing! For the record, I never leave reviews, but I was so impressed, I had to comment. An absolute gem😁

Ordered 4 different meals, every one was top notch. Would recomend!

My husband and I had a meal here last night and could not fault the food or service. We will definately be visiting again.

It was very enjoyable . I was very impressed by foods’ control over the spice. All in all it was delicious, amazing and I will be eating here again!!!!!😘

As always the food at the Indian Brasserie is great, but they have a new menu and there are some really tasty options, I had the Goan salmon, excellent with pilau rice and cheese garlic keema nan, with okra side. Lots of dinners, early in the evening shows this is a well loved restaurant

Wonderful staff & service, a quiet Monday evening dinner. Excellent quality food, ingredients & taste… I’d recommend you go, Indian Brassiere shouldn’t disappoint!

Was served the wrong main dish, and food was not quite up to scratch. Would not visit again

Very mediacore food. Fairly long wait for food which is OK however when served all our food the meat was dry and tasted overcooked. The sauce was bland and got delivered the wrong curry. Once plated up we realised, new curry got brought out but no replacement of the rice already used and taken away. Not to rave about and probably won't vist again.

Great quality curry all round. Excellent menu and food

Very disappointing to be honest. The mixed kebab starter was shocking for the price. The main curries bland. Rice was oily. The only decent thing was the naans which were very good. Wouldnt come again.

Would a t-rex like a curry? I reckon so. Apart from trying to put onions onto his poppadoms with his tiny arms. Most curry spots are quite traditional in a 20,000BC x Nan's-front-room kind of way, but t-rex wouldn't like this. Too modern by half. The food is top drawer though. Shaslick, Jalfrezi, traka dhal are all great. The naan bread is almost pornographic with it's bubbles and layer of shimmering butter. Beer cold, too. Very nice indeed.

This place is really amazing and best delicious food ever in cheltenham,i never use to like Lamb but this time i tried lamb shish kebab, it was soo delicious flavourful and juicy, and must tried dish in this brassiere. if you’re trying some Indian cuisine simply go with this,best place to eat❤️

Best food I had in UK. It was just like India texture, taste, spice level and the quality. Worth visiting the place. Totally recommend the platter (specially shish kebab) 🫰🫰 can’t wait to go again for shish kebab with garlic naan 🤤.

Very testy food I think this is the best Indian restaurant all over the Gloucestershire and it was Tuesday night but it's very busy the food was little bit late when i have a food it's very freshly and delicious and I felt like homemade food and authentic food . The service was fantastic and the staff is very cooperative . Definitely i will visit this restaurant again.

Greedy and unprofessional! We were looking to our first ever visit here on 08/12/23 as the reviews for this place looked really good. Booked a table for 3 people at 8:15pm. We arrived a minute or two late and the waiter said to take a seat, no problem. Note, the place was completely at capacity (huge Christmas parties) and there were others already in the waiting area. The signs were not promising but we persevered. About 20 minutes had passed and I went to the bar to get an ETA on the table and another ‘Manager’ was extremely rude to me, basically shouting at me and making out it was my fault. I remained calm, asked for some complimentary drinks and we continued to wait. Waited, waited and waited. About 45 minutes later that ‘Manager’ said the table would be ready shortly, just as we were starting to get up and leave. Needless to say we did not stay for dinner! It’s Christmas, I appreciate restaurants are going to be busy but this could easily have been avoided if they declined our booking instead of accepting it, knowing full well they had huge Christmas party bookings which are going to take up a lot of time (and space!) But no, this place was just being greedy, trying to seat as many people as possible to make as much money as possible. No care whatsoever for customers. This isn’t a fast food restaurant! Many other people waiting said it isn’t usually like this but unfortunately this was our first impression of this place and you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Please try to be less greedy and look after your customers instead of trying to rush people in and out. Moral of the story, don’t go during December or any other really busy periods. And don’t think that just because you have a booking, you have a booking… PS. we actually went across the road to Balti Walla who were very accommodating and the food was fantastic!

Lush service and such nice food! a must!

We visited the Indian Brassiere last night, the food & service was fantastic. Amad & his team were exceptional, we look forward to returning the next time we visit Cheltenham.

Tasty food, very friendly service. Warm and welcoming. We will be back.

We went out for my Dad’s birthday at his request after our last wonderful meal here, and it was another great evening. With attentive but not intrusive service, we enjoyed the full experience, popadoms, delicious mixed starters, followed by incredibly flavoured main dishes. I would recommend Goan Red Jinga if you like King prawns and Chicken Malabar if you like a unique chicken dish with a touch of sweetness. I could go on, but will end with a huge encouragement to go and try it for yourself!

The food was excellent - fresh herbs and spices aromatic and exquisite. The naan bread is the best I’ve tasted the mushroom rice had quality flavourful mushrooms and spices in it. Outstanding !

One of the best Curry’s I’ve had, fresh and perfectly cooked. Plenty of interesting dishes and I would recommend the garlic naan, the best I have eaten. Great staff and a pleasure to eat in.

Last September I visited for the second time in indian Brasserie restaurant. I had having a great dinner there. I went there with my friends. I had shared my first time experience with them and they just forced me to take them at Indian Brasserie Restaurant. They all have enjoyed the delicious dishes named were Kole Upokari, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Biriyani, Tiger Prawn Bhuna, Mix kebab starter, Lamb Mandaraj, Kole Bahar etc. All these were excellent as well as my visit at first time. The environment and service was good. We enjoyed a lot.

When we booked our table we were not told that they needed our table back by a certain time. When we arrived, no one told us that we would have to vacate the table by a certain time. Just after we ordered some more drinks we were told that our table was needed for three young people. The staff badgered us until we left, despite the fact that there were lots of empty tables. When we asked why they couldn’t accommodate the people waiting on this tables, we were told they didn’t want to use them. And as we left, there was no sign of three people waiting for a table. The food was average, none of the dishes stood. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

We had a lamb passanda which tasted like lemon curd and lamb, and an erachi thoran which tasted like a spicy lemon curd with lamb! Then the chips were like cardboard. The cheese naan had 1 little bit of cheese in the corner. Really disappointed.

Absolutely brilliant. Amazing curry and wonderful service. 👍

Really great food, came with 3 people and shared a few dishes off the southern Indian menu, amazing flavours!

Had a wonderful meal. The food was both tasty and hot. The service was good too.

We absolutely loved Indian Brasserie. It's a great little restaurant that I used to go to a lot 10-15 years ago, but I haven't been there for a while. It was always nice, but now has had a major revamp and feels lovely and clean, as well as vibrant and fun and very well run. The food was amazing. We will be back there very soon!!

Fantastic food and great service and the best chilli pickle in the world! Lovely restaurant with friendly staff.

Easily the best Indian food locally. Great service and reasonable prices given the quality and quantity of food. Will be back!

I've been to this restaurant for the last couple of years and this place just keeps getting better and better. This menu is varied with a variety of chef's specials and the usual traditional restaurant curries. The food is cooked fresh, the flavours are exotic but still balanced and the portions are decent too. This place is great for both work dos and family oriented meals. The restaurant is clean and the staff are welcoming and polite.

Good food! Lovely waiters that take their time, would recommend any day!

Great service & amazing food. Will definitely be going back again, 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!

Excellent service and amazing food. 10/10 recommend. We will definitely come back again!

Loved the menu. Great service although we were in before the rush. Food had a fresh appearance. Could taste the spices as mentioned from the menu. Must be one of the best Indian restaurants in Cheltenham. Thanks Peter

Im from Egypt this my 2nd visit at Indian brassiere the foo was fantastic service wise excellent we will back soon thank you

I was traveled cheltenham this last week at one of my relatives house. They took me and my husband in Indian Brasserie Restaurant for a dinner party. The entire environment of that restaurant was fantastic, luxurious and friendly. The foods they served were delicious, amazing and temptative. Few items such as Chicken Mandaraz, Lamb Pasanda, Panir Sabji just cut my mind. Their Peshawari nan bread was mouth-watering. The time I spent there was very wonderful and memorable. I have planned to visit their again. I will suggest you all to take a visit at Indian Brasserie Cheltenham and took the taste of their temptative foods. Thanks.

An exceptional dining experience is provided by the Cheltenham Indian Brasserie, a hotel in the town. The food is absolutely delicious, featuring a wide variety of flavorful dishes that highlight the vibrant spices and conventional cooking methods of Indian tradition. With every bite, you get a burst of real flavors that take you to the streets of India. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always willing to help, making for an equally impressive level of service. The Cheltenham Indian Brasserie offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you wanting more, from the cozy atmosphere to the flawless presentation.

The food is always of top quality and taste. Service is great and cost is reasonable. We had a lamb madras, lamb biriyani, tarka deal, bhindi bhaji and plain naan. Portion size is good. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent customer service with a very welcoming atmosphere, the food was at top standards and very enjoyable one off the best Indians I have ever had and would return . Staff was amazing and put the customers first and looked after all of us would recommend to anyone from going with friends to taking your family. 10/10

I went to this restaurant with 17 other members of the Got2Sing Choir. Great food and good service. I would recommend to anyone.

Great experience, A+ ....Will be back soon

I was going to say that we treated the family to a special meal at the renowned Indian Brasserie, but the reality was that we were treated by the Brasserie family to an incredible evening! The food was the outstanding! Comments from the family were...

Superb food. Superb service. An owner who cares deeply about his team and business (and cricket). Bloody brilliant meal. If you're in Cheltenham ditch the centre and come here!

Superb establishment. As I was about to drive home I noticed that my tyre was completely flat. The staff came out and assisted me in getting my car back on the road. I'm not sure what I would have done as the Roadside Assist were...

Another wonderful meal at the best Indian in town! We couldn’t decide what to order and so asked for a chef’s special and had two delicious dishes made to order with freshly prepared ingredients. We were so well looked after and can’t wait for our...

Great meal, having found it on Trip Advisor when visiting for a wedding. Variety of starters, mains- meat, veggie, vegan- all lovely. All staff very hospitable and welcoming. Go seek it out

We enjoy going here. Unfortunately my wife was given coconut by mistake and she is allergic

Perfect food with a good selection, plenty of vegetarian dishes. Comfy seats, cold drinks, and professional staff in a pleasant atmosphere. Loved my Sabji Molee which is mixed veg in a mild creamy coconut yogurt curry with herbs. Shared a perfect lemon rice which perfectly...

One of my favourite Cheltenham restaurants - I use the Brasserie for takeaways on a weekly basis and the standard of everything they do is spot-on. All of their lamb dishes are particular favourites of mine - more tender & flavoursome than anywhere else I...

On a wet and very quiet Sunday evening decided to try. Very happy I did. I ordered the lamb passanda and I asked for a vegetable niramish/ mixed veg dry curry and a nan bread. The lamb was super tender and the lamb taste popped...

I went to the restaurant because of its good rating. The restaurant ambience and staff is nice. But the food was not great. My expectation was higher as the staff seemed to be from south Asia but food was no where near authentic Indian. I would strongly recommend not to order papri chat. I literally got the papri, potato masala and the yogurt separately. That was bizarre.

Our meal was completely spoiled by a table of loud and inconsiderate couples who were oblivious to others, disgraceful behaviour. We simply could not hear each other withour raising our voices. The management did nothing about it. One family moved tables and then the staff...

A good meal with really excellent service. All six of us were well looked after from start to finish - thank you for an enjoyable evening.

It was amaizing Restuarent . Their food quality and service was mind blowing 👌. Food test was really mouth watering , Definitely we will see them again .

Went with my husband on a Sunday evening a few weeks ago. Food was amazing really enjoyed it. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Booked up to go back already.

Delicious food would recommend you give it a try

I visited this restaurant on 14th March 2023. It had been several years since my last visit but the food remains sublime. I thoroughly recommend the Erachi Porial, tender lamb with just the right amount of subtle heat. The staff are a credit to the owner Dada.

Visited the Indian Brasserie last night and was not disappointed. The service was amazing . And the food too. What a little gem of a restaurant. We will definitely be visiting again soon. Thanks for a great meal.

Everytime we have been out to dine at the Brasserie it has been a great experience and great food. Could possibly be one of the best Indian food in town!

Meal was tasty, however i certainly didnt get the Cafreal which I ordered, tasted more like butter chicken. The veg dishes were defo undercooked.Dont normally venture into Cheltenham for a meal, but will try again

The best restaurant in Cheltenham. The food is fantastic. Fresh food. The staff is amazing. The price is reasonable.........................

I think you should rate any restaurant on three criteria: Ambiance, Service and Food quality and in my opinion this restaurant scores five stars for each.

Went for a family birthday meal and booked a table. Throughout the meal we were rushed, plates taken away after the last mouthful. Finally after about 45 mins when we had just finished they said they needed the table for another booking and asked us...

Indian Brasserie looks lovely on the outside, step in one will be flabbergasted as to how poor the service is. The staff seem slow, unattentive, disinterested. Food is pretty mediocre too, chicken so extremely dry it was hard to eat. And how on earth has...

First visit, having been recommended Very good food A little wait between starter and main course but young waiter apologiesd and food came up shortly afterwards Will certainly visit again A nice evening and meal

Was a really busy night but Dada and his staff, kept their cool and served us all despite a short wait. Very nice decor and the food was fantastic and worth the wait. Will definitely go back.

This was my first time back here in a few years, and after many a good meal here in the past, I wanted to come back and enjoy a good evening with boyfriend. Unfortunately from the moment we walked through the door, things were not...

Went here last night, the third time in recent months. Every visit has been excellent. The food is exceptional and very well presented. The service has always been friendly and timely. Highly recommended - definitely a cut above.

I drop in here occasionally for solo dining when my partner is away. It never fails to impress. They don't mind solo dining and they are very friendly making polite conversation. My go to local. Food is delicious!

Reliably good Indian. Food is lovely, service is good. Soft drinks menu is a little limited but good selection of beer and wine.

Delicious food and great conversation. Thanks Dada!
