Indian dream in South Oxfordshire

I moved to our lovely village of Steventon summer of 2017. I quickly discovered Indian Dream in Didcot and what a dream??!! The then owner Hasnath Miah was a friend to all, serving the most delicious food always with a smile. He was always a massive part of the community but went above and beyond during the awful times of covid/lockdowns Sadly our dear friend Hasnath developed his own health problems We lost him In his memory family now run Indian Dream They deserve our support to keep Hasnath's Dream alive You are guaranteed superb food and an authentic Indian experience Rest in peace dear friend You are truly missed

Yes. I do tell everybody.It's because indian dream are the best In my area.

I’ve always been a fan of Indian Dreams but I’m not sure what’s happened. Order was late because they’d forgotten an item ( not for the first time), but unfortunately the food was below par. Some of it was cold. The Cauliflower Bhaji was undercooked. The vegetable curry was very bland and watery. The Chicken Chilli Massala, was very tasty as normal, but the amount of chicken was minimal, it was mainly just sauce. Everything else was fine. Maybe it’s time for a swap 😞

Love these guys - best in Didcot and always very fast, very tasty & great customer service

Great takeaway, really good value for money and prompt delivery

The food has gone down hill recently, the nans are either burnt or not properly cook. Disappointed

Food was outstanding , 10/10 very tasty everyone had empty plates , friendly service and highly recommended :D

Really Awesome Tandoori Chicken, Madras Chicken curry, French Fries and Popadoms. 👌👌👌👌👌 Keep it Up 👍👍👍

Visited indian dream today and can honestly say it is the best indian me and my fiancé have ever had. The size of portions are amazing Alot of food for the money. The effort that has been put into the food is amazing and noticeable. Really enjoyed the food and would HIGHLY recommend. Staff are very professional, welcoming and appreciate you for ordering from them.

Good takeaway. Always quick & friendly service.

While staying in a holiday cottage, my wife and I ordered a takeaway for us and our two children for delivery which, metaphorically speaking, left a particularly bad taste in the mouth. The food itself was satisfactory. However, the delivery driver called my wife’s mobile when close by, as arranged, to make his life easier when dropping off the order. We missed his call, and called him straight back. He explained, in an abrupt manner, that he was having difficulty finding the address given. As it turned out, he wasn’t too far away, as he arrived a few minutes later (I remained on the phone to him for this time leading up to his arrival). On arrival, he was unpleasant and frankly unwilling to engage in a way that I would expect from anybody representing a business. For my part, I feel I went above and beyond what a customer should need to do by agreeing to wait at the roadside, by the property, to make it easier for him, and also stayed on the phone to help him to find the location. Even though I had provided the FULL address including the postcode when ordering. I even provided additional specific details of which property we were in at the location. He claimed I stated the road name incorrectly. However, that is categorically untrue. I didn’t correct him on this initially, as I didn’t want to exacerbate the situation unnecessarily, though I did state that I had provided the correct address including the road name before he curtly drove off - without saying anything remotely approaching “thank you for your custom, and have a good evening”! He suggested that I should have given the address, pointing at the sign at the front of the site. However, that is precisely what I did; I provided the full address, including the postcode. When placing the order by phone, we spoke about the address for what must have been around two minutes. As far as I was concerned, they had no further questions about the address. They did not ask me to clarify anything further than was discussed. Of course, I appreciate anyone can have a bad day. But it is simply unacceptable to not treat customers with basic decency and respect, particularly as I had been nothing but friendly and helpful when ordering and giving address information. Not to mention that I was also spending our money with them. Perhaps he didn’t think providing any kind of reasonable customer service would matter as we were staying in a holiday cottage, so we were unlikely to be repeat customers. Yet, as we have done in the past, we would almost certainly have suggested leaving the business’ flyer in the property for future guests - no chance of that, given the awful attitude! What if I had been disabled? He may have had to walk 20 metres from his car to the front door to deliver the food. Judging by his manner, I’m not sure that would have been something which would have improved his mood. Frankly, he was obnoxious and rude. When I said “it’s fine; you’re here now”, he replied “no, no - it’s fine for you; not fine for me.” Quite incredible. It was like he was doing me a favour. So, be warned. In our experience, don’t expect your delivery to arrive with a smile - more of a snarl.

Great Indian Dream Takeaway. Tasty food, helpful staff, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended..

The food was outstanding! And the service was very attentive. It was such a great experience. Again thanks.

We ordered the set meal for 2, and were very pleased we did! Delicious meat for starter, so tasty. A butter chicken and lamb dish for main, with potato side dish, pilau rice and naan. Gulab jamun for dessert and mint tea. Staff were lovely....

Outstanding service and good food.Spicing on food is really good.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is a really nice food restaurant. The food is insanely delicious. You have to order naan! Good environment and good service! I would say it’s a 10 out of 10 experience. Thanks.

Exceptional customer service and even better food. The team treat you like family, each and every time. Do try the chicken byriani — one of the best.

Amazing Indian Dream Takeaway! If you love spicy, this is your place! The one they said will be ‘medium’ spicy was super hot! I loved it! The service is exceptional! They are all really kind and attentive.

Outstanding food 👌 and quick delivery.

Great food 100% will order again

Very tasty food , I always enjoy food from here !

Went to Indian Dream and it was an excellent experience the food was delicious and the staff were friendly. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend

Best Take away in Didcot Very nice food and excellent service.order arrive on time

Very nice food and excellent service ❤️ 100% i am order again and i will tell my friend to try the Indian dream,

Been having takeaways from theses guys for a long time now allways very good and tonight was just amazing thank you guys you made our night with your lovely food

The food I ordered was good, after I had to reheat it. The delivery driver was very poor. Excessively rude & obviously cannot follow instructions. It certainly seems Indian Dream has gone downhill since Hasnaths untimely passing.

Didn't got a chance to try food here

The food is very good and the delivery service is always prompt. Would recommend for an excellent takeaway.

Best Indian takeaway in Didcot, hands down

Takeaway tubs leaking everywhere small portions rubbish in my opinion

Always a smile, great food. A good man with a good heart. Best Indian in Didcot. I won't go anywhere else!

Absolutely disgusting and watery and didn't deliver the drink then when called about the missing drink i got hung up on

Very expensive and all sauce little meat. 2 x curry 2 x naan 1 x rice £28.90.

Delicious food very good sized portions , the food is fresh and great quality

A friend recommended Indian Dreams to me. I’ve always been a Sun Koshie type of guy but to be honest it’s gone down hill. However. This is the tits! Really good use of spices and heat. Naan breads were big and fluffy. Proper! Super fast delivery too. I honestly cannot praise the food here enough. Well done!

Very friendly staff with excellent quality food and service to go with it! Hasnath is a very nice guy with a golden heart! Looked after us on the price as well! Highly recommend you give their food a try!

Spent good money on the takeaway good was full of oil leaked out of containers. Veg food was contaminated with chicken curry gravy. Naans were burnt owner was very ruined when complained

My food didn’t arrive. They claimed to have knocked on the door but I was watching the door the whole time and even if I wasn’t, my dog is very loud when the door goes. I phoned the restaurant and got verbally assaulted on the phone. He then told me I HAD to get to the restaurant myself to pick up the food and that he was the only person there. When my friend went in to pick up the food, she was also verbally assaulted by the same man, and then another person came out to give her our food after we were told that there was only 1 person working. I will not tolerate the verbal abuse 2 teenage girls got from a fully grown man who was lying to us.

££ Nice food and fast collection with friendly staff.

Ok, mushroom rice may have had half a mushroom in it, chicken tikka was very tasty maybe half of a chicken breast with some onions and keema naan well I don't know how they managed to make it that small with meat that had probably been steam rolled, great work for the community but not for me.

We ordered a delivery meal. The food arrived in good time, was piping hot and delicious. Never fails to please.

Just enjoyed a lovely takeaway from Indian Dreams, good sized portions and very tasty. Looking forward to another one soon

The best curry in didcot by far . Great service and you don't have to wait that long..

very very friendly and happy staff. really tasty food, they made my favourite, matar paneer, not on their menu. very tasty and reminds me of India. highly recommended

It was our first take away for 4 people from Indian Dreams. A variety of chicken and lamb dishes. What a fantastic meal. Everything was so tasty and the service was quick. Will definitely be buying from there again

We recently ordered a takeaway from Indian dream and found the process pretty straightforward. We didn’t have a menu to hand so used the one on their website up until we saw their was a ‘handling fee’. In the end we ordered using Just Eat as this was cheaper, but next time we’ll call and order as the takeaway won’t have to pay any commission to a third party. Food was ready on time and we enjoyed it for dinner and the lunch the next day (as we ordered too much!). Will order again.

This place helped many people during the pandemic with free food.

If you are around didcot and want quality indian food this is the only place to go. He is so friendly very knowledgeable about his food. The flavours of his curry's are the best I ever tasted.very good menu alot to choose from and very good portion sizes.

Abusive Owner, he must be ashamed- Boycott this abusive place. Me and Husband ordered food through out of restaurant platform. We received a phone call from Restaurant owner due to providing wrong address. My husband answered the call on speaker, Owner was extremely rude and swearing on Husband saying don’t you f…ing know how to write a address, OMG we got shocked 😳. My husband emphasised to remind his language and tone, Owner replied ..ck you, I’m cancelling your order, holly molly……first time ever we ordered from this place wowwwww. Never had this type of experience before, this owner definitely need some education and learning lesson. Avoid this place.

Hair in my food. The complementary salad looked like it went out of date yesterday(yellow and brown) Extra greasy chips and baji Cold food Took them over 10 minutes to pack it, after I got a text that it is ready for collection. Otherwise it tasted alright.

Hasnath is the kindest and most generous man. He is so friendly and truly lovely. He would do anything for our lovely community. The food he cooks is absolutely sensational. I have travelled all over the world, including India and Bangladesh and Indian Dream is the best Bangladeshi food I have ever tasted. Long may you prosper my friend.

Excellent food and friendly service will return in the future

We had our usual Friday takeaway from Indian Dream which we all really enjoyed Hasnath the owner is very helpful and will change anything about the meal you order to your required taste. He is also friendly and their hygiene score is displayed outside for all to see. We have never had a bad meal.

I ordered mutton kebab and Fish sathkora. Mutton kebab was of standard taste and good portion size. Fish sathkora was good and did not have any MSG which I liked the most. Fish was not as tasty as I expected. Overall it was a good takeaway dinner but I was charged a bit more than the actual bill. Couldn’t find out at the time of delivery since the bill didn’t have a breakdown.

Beautiful Indian. Food arrived earlier then said so that was good and it was very tasty.

1 Tikka : Chicken 1 Keema Naan 1 Chapati 1 Labra 1 Pilau Rice For the two of us more than enough 🙂 It was hot cooked to perfection with the right amount of heat and a 1st for me the Labra was excellent. These guys and girls that work their put their heart and soul into what they do and they do it very well thank you for an excellent meal loved it ...

Always order from Indian Dream. The service is always impeccable. Food is always top notch. The owner is a really nice guy, despite English not being his first language, he always goes above & beyond, especially throughout these hard times. Nothing but praise for him. 5 Stars for me.

I had a takeaway from Indian Dream last night, which was delicious.. The owner, Hasnath is a very friendly guy who offers free food to any homeless people in Didcot, to NHS workers, Teachers and the Emergency Services several nights a week. He is an absolute star and has received a well deserved Didcot Town Council Award for being a local hero

Hasnath has always provided excellent, tasty food. He has also provided free food to the NHS, homeless, those who have list their jobs due to COVID etc. Brilliant company supporting their local community during such challenging times! He has received hundreds of positive reviews and thanks on FB which are well deserved!

Absolutely fantastic service. N food. Definitely recommend best curry house in Didcot. So thankyou for ur service and keep. It up. Your food is outstanding biryani def my favourite

Myself and my partner live in Steventon , for the last 3 years we have been returning to indian dream , Hasnath goes up and beyond for his customers, last night we had another very tasty and hot indian food delivered . Give him a...

Mr Miah always welcomes your call, the food is always delicious and delivered on time. What more can you ask for from a local takeaway. The fact he’s doing awesome charity work just adds to the reasons I don’t get my curry anywhere else

We have food from Indian Dream weekly. The food is always delicious and cooked nicely. The hygiene ratings are displayed outside of the takeaway so you know that your food is prepared and cooked in a hygienic kitchen. Hasnath will cook the food to your...

We ordered and it arrived on time. However when we went to eat the food tasted funny. Both myself and my husband thought the shamee kebab tasted off, and the biryani tasted like washing up liquid. I rang to let the owner know and was...

Hasnath provided me with a free meal for being an NHS worker at the local Doctors surgery. The food was lovely, and such a kind gesture. Thank you so much it was really appreciated.

Got donner meat out here tonight delivered and it was white and chewy. Didn't look cooked. Phoned the restaurant about it and the guy was so unhelpful. He said it was something to do with the sauce which is lies. Absolute joke.

Great food, and the owner is a true community champion giving away free meals to homeless, careers and people made unemployed in the pandemic.

Meals are excellent. Owner has been looking after blue light services and carers with free meals. Inspiration.

Had an absolutely great curry last night, £50 for 4 very happy full people was totally worth it. Fresh, hot, flavorful. Delivery was faster than expected which was amazing.

The food was hot and very nice also earlier than was advised he’s also been giving free food to nhs staff through all COVID-19 which I think is brilliant

This was one of the best curries we've had in ages, having sampled most of the local curry houses. Thoroughly recommended! We ordered from Indian Dream because of their fantastic work supporting key workers and the unemployed during lockdown with regular free curries. I'm so...

Amazing food never had a bad meal always deliver within time given very polite and helpful and they have been truly amazing during COVID giving FREE takeaway to key worker and they are still doing it 6 mth in to covid WELL DONE Indian Dream

I have this takeaway regularly, the food is always delicious, its not at all expensive for what you get and the staff are really lovely and polite. The man in charge has given away hundreds of free meals during covid and he really does deserve...

Excellent food, gr8 service..has also helped NHS and others by offering free food. Fantastic effort!

Absolutely great service, tasty food, and giving so much to the community, we will all be very grateful xx

This is the best Indian in Didcot. My wife is particularly selective about the Indian meals we eat and if it's not up to her standards, we dont go back. We have been ordering takeaways from Indian Dream for years now and it's always great.

Always order from here. Super tasty and polite delivery.

Excellent takeaway! Food is always hot and fresh. They love their community and have helped a lot of people during the current pandemic. Would definitely recommend :)

The food and the Sevices is very good I would definitely recommend it especially the chicken rosemary 👌🏻

Over cooked inedible main course saturated in oil naan burnt couldn't even bite into it. Complete waste of money. If there was an option to give minus stars I would

Terrible food, terrible pricing, terrible portion sizes. The food was tasteless, we spent £4.50 for lamb chops, and literally received one chop. After calling the restaurant they said they only give one chop and that they weren't even sorry. The person on the phone was rude and dismissive. He won't be getting my money again.

Low end curry experience. Watery gravy and poor quality meat - shame as the flavours were pretty nice. Poppadoms were decent, as was the mint yoghurt sauce.

Terrible. Watery and tasteless. Worst I have ever had

Collection for takeaway- The food was delicious, we ordered a selection of dishes and the service was excellent. We ordered based on a local recommendation and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

Delivery to us was good, but the chicken bhuna I had was tasteless, and the only good thing was the nann bread I had with it. My husband didn't think the poppodums were good probably now wouldn't use again

Really enjoyed the korma, thankyou so much for the free meal during these difficult times. So very grateful ❤️ Katie.

Update on my review. It use to be 5*, and now as u can see down to 1*!! Not good! Middle of December I made an order, and honestly it tasted disgusting. It was very watery. I tried to drain this off. But that just left it mushy, and inedible. So I rang them straight away to explain. After telling me all the ingredients, and how it shouldn't be watery. I explained how I know this, as have it every time I make an order. So he then said he would speak to the chef, and the manager. Then get the manager to ring me the next day. No call, so I rang back in a couple of days. Apparently manager hasn't been in. At another branch. Would ring when back. Well obviously they must have been going on without a manager for a month or so. As that was middle of December, and we are now coming to end of January!! I even tried messenger, which none of the messages have even been looked at! I was hoping it could have been resolved by now. As don't like to make a complaint over one bad experience. But when ignored, it changes things. Such a shame as I always used Indian Dream for my take aways, and always recommended them. No more!! 🤬

Poor quality food, like it was rushed to be completed as I was waiting for over 20 mins. They offer discount if you collect and pay cash, yet you need to ask for this discount EVERY TIME. I asked for a receipt and got a...

Nice food but ran late due to being exceptionally busy and had some errors on the order. Reasonably priced

Poor food small portion they have put up the price of the set meal by £2 by crossing it out and rewriting it in blue pen !!!

The potatoes and mixed starter was lovely and rice. The Curry just needed to be thicker very watery. The staff seemed scared when calling them to check delivery status. Id say nice food a bit of tweaking the curries it would be perfect. When ordering staff were friendly, not bad but could do with a little room for improvement.

Just had a takeaway for five people I had a chicken vindloo there was no flavour or spices very poor

Didnt order from here, but however they arent going to EVER get my custom as one member of their staff was very rude towards myself after having to park in the way on a car while collecting food next door, a member of staff came shouting and raving, even going as far as to swear at my self, this member of staff needs to be sacked for they may lose more then the apparent 3 customers my car apparently lost them, I would avoid this place as they clearly have no manners

Ordered last night and didn't even give the drinks we paid for and didn't answer the phone after. Also the onion bhaji had no filing inside at all. Some chicken was a little pink but that's what you get for buying from overatted takeaways

The chicken korma tasted as if they had literally tipped a bag of sugar in and given it a stir. I Didnt recieve my garlic and cheese naan instead i got plain. And they couldnt even get a simple bottle of coca cola right instead i received a pepsi max cherry and a diet pepsi. Overall An Absolutely Appalling service and meal will never recommend them to anyone nor would i ever think to eat there again!

The food was very tasty and the service was brilliant.

Fantastic meal, couldn't ask for better. Service was very good and food delicious 😋

Not plesent, luke warm food. Staff in the kitchen coughing and spitting flem, sneezing. Would not provide a receipt for the food, cash only. Stay well clear. No star would be favorable.
