Indian lodge in Daventry

Ok. So, we eat out a lot. I mean a lot. Indian food is a favourite but never, seriously never have we had Indian food as good as this. Soft doughy naan breads. Truly tasty curries. Absolutely the best Indian food we have ever had. Great service & friendly staff too.

Great food, great service, the railway lamb is definitely the go to dish with a garlic and coriander nan, just passing through so shame it’s not my local

Superb meal, the Mutton Railway Curry was so delicious. We had stopped at the pub for a drink but were tempted to stay for the food at the Indian Lodge. Excellent menu and great value too...we will return when next in the area.

This was a takeaway. Amongst other things I ordered chicken pakora but when I got home I realised it was potato pakora. Overall a disappointing experience. The chap who took my order over the 'phone was very pleasant though.

We have been a number of times and it is always good. Very good food and really friendly service. Curries, breads and rice are all very nice. Highly recommended.

Fabulous meal for our wedding anniversary! Passing through on our narrowboat (fb page canalcuisine) Great vegetarian selection and chicken dishes, chef happy to tailor to our requests! Three courses were faultless, will definitely return 😋

Ordered a Balti and asked for it to be madras hot. What was delivered was neither a Balti or spicy. Totally bland and tasteless. Reminded me of a 1980’s British pub curry effort.

Arrived at 22.07 on a Saturday night. A gleeful bald Indian chap who was mopping the floor said "shut mate" (I'm not his mate, far from it). No explanation or attempt to placate a now very annoyed potential customer. I glanced back outside (still light out, it is summer) I looked into the pub, in full swing. I asked, "did you shut 7 minutes ago"? No reply was given. I went back to. My narrowboat to check I wasn't going bonkers. There it was! Open until midnight on Saturdays. No, I wasn't going bonkers, I had just encountered the "don't give a stuff" brigade who enjoyed their moment of power over me.

We ordered a vegetarian takeaway with poppadoms. The poppadoms were really good with no excess oil and the chutney accompaniments were delicious.Between 2 of us we had side dishes of channa massala, baigan bartha, bhindi and tarka dhall, with steamed rice and a peshwari naan. All were very tasty, not oily and not too hot.Pick up was quick and easy and everyone friendly and helpful.The menu is quite small by Indian restaurant standards, but everything we had was excellent.

Good selection on the menu, service was efficient and friendly and food was very good. Covid-19 arrangements worked well without bother.

Food bland , rushed service , won’t be back as wasn’t what I expected such a shame as when I’ve eaten here before it’s been ok

Never had a bad meal, the best Indian I have ever had. Have had many eat ins and takeaways. Very family friendly and amazing service nothing is too much trouble. Fresh food cooked to order can not recommend enough. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

We live in Crick and ordered a takeaway post COVID lockdown.The food was excellent. One of the best Indian meals we have had for a number of years. We had to wait 20 minutes from the point of order by phone. Friendly staff! Highly recommended

One of our favourite Indians for a local meal, has now turned to takeaway, to enable a change of cook in our houshold. A lovely change for the evening-ordered in advance to maintain social distance rather than waiting in the bar, but.....prompt service and ability to collect and eat in the home. A friendly local face or 2 (at correct distance) when collecting also raised a smile.

Brilliant Restaurant located in a Fantastic village pub , Always good beer in pub , spoilt for Choice with Royal Oaks Gin Selection, and a jewel in the crown an excellent restaurant and takeaway, Nice to be able to saviour a cold pint while waiting for your takeaway. Beers are always top quality. And a warm welcome to villages and visitors.

Excellently presented, delicious food; excellent service; nice atmosphere. We will be back! Thank you, Indian Lodge, for providing a great venue for my daughter's birthday, and on our doorstep in Crick!

Lovely welcoming staff... nothing too much trouble. Great menu. We have eaten there twice and both times we were delighted with our fantastic meals. Lamb Sagwalla is amazing.We moor our boat nearby and the Indian Lodge now comes high on the list of reasons why we moor at Crick. Can't wait to get back. It's like a favoured local restauarant... shame it is 117 miles from our house or we would go weekly!

The curry was bland and watery. Very little taste. Far too much oil. Left us with very uncomfortable stomach. Won't eat there again.

Went here on friends recommendation and were very impressed! Excellent service, fantastic food selection, reasonably priced, will most definitely go again.

I live in the village and eat here about once a week. I love eating alone with a book for company and this is a great place for that. The staff are just brilliant - they remember my order and are always really friendly and welcoming. Even on really busy evenings they've managed to squeeze me in. The quality of the food is wonderful. I've taken family members and work colleagues who also really love it too. The drinks are operated by the pub so yes, if it's a noisy quiz night or a band is playing you'll hear it. It also means that you can eat in the garden or have a cheeky snack at a bar table...All in all, a great addition to the village.

We have visited the Indian Lodge 3 times now. On each occasion the service is good and the food is also very nice. The added bonus of this restaurant is that it is tacked onto the side of a pub serving a good selection of beers.

We live in crick and this is by far my favourite place to eat in the village. The staff are always lovely . They remember your favourites, Always ask how we are and each member of staff always greet you even if they are not serving your table. We often turn up when they are busy but they always do their best to accommodate us. its so nice to have a place in the village that appreciate you as a local customer. The food is delicious too

We have been here twice in the last few weeks and both time great service and very tasty food. We all thought it was good value for money and the staff were very pleasant. They do a good selection of vegetarian dishes. In particular I would like to comment that the food isn't greasy with lots of oil unlike some other Indian restaurants that I have been to. The room is airy and light, we went on a particularly hot evening and they had fans going to make the room a very comfortable temperature. I would thoroughly recommend the Indian Lodge.

Friends recommended this restaurant so we gave it a visit. It was a Friday evening and the bar which you have to negotiate to get to the restaurant was mobbed. There was a bouncy castle in the garden at the back and as the doors were open kids were racing back and forth. We asked to move table but the waiter observed the mayhem and apologised saying he was closing the doors. The staff were all very attentive and helpful. We were given an appetiser on the house as the waiter felt we had to wait longer than normal although we really didn’t feel we did. The food was excellent and I would try it again. Just a few tweaks needed. Be prepared to settle the bill in two parts as the drinks go through the bar. Perhaps more a location for a group and less for a cozy dinner for two.

A superb place for Indian food, with a wide choice of delicious food coupled with excellent friendly staff.

I have known for some time that the food served is excellent but we had some family over and they said they had never had a better Indian meal ever,highly recommend giving it a try.

Had a couple of meals here, has a nice friendly pub attached, friendly staff and would recommend you try it yourself, you wont be disappointed

We often visit Crick on our boat and last time this restaurant linked to the village pub was fully booked. This time we booked a table which mid-week wasn't necessary. Indian food is our speciality - we know what we are looking for and eat a lot of it. This place we graded 8 of 10. The food was authentic, tasty and freshly prepared. The negatives were - value for money - portion size a little mean, owner/senior waiter was on the miserable side and a tad expensive around £10 more than we usually spend on such a meal - around £50 for starter, main course, sides and rice. Would we visit again? Yes most definitely.

Great food set in a family friendly pub,the staff are attentive and the food is top class. Well worth a visit.

Unusual dishes with the hint of the familiar. Prepared and cooked on site so fresh as can be. Portions are perfect so never feel over full. Service is polite and prompt.

We visited the restaurant at the back of the pub. Its in the function room . All the drinks come from the pub. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very good and flavoursome but it just took a long time for the food to come out. I would go back to this restaurant.

There's something about the food at the Indian lodge. It tastes fresher than your usual Indian restaurant. It has a very distinctive home-cooked taste. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the ambiance is classy without being pretentious. Take-aways are excellent too.

A group of 8 of us visited The Indian Lodge for dinner. The staff were attentive and friendly. The ambiance was fair. Our food was plentiful and we all agreed very nice. The only negatives are the restaurant is part of a busy pub which is good but quite noisy. The ladies toilets are a bit awkward, leading into the men’s?!

We were lucky enough to win a competition to receive a free meal at the Indian Lodge, Crick. It was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The staff were lovely and the food was really delicious. I really like the fact that it is a small menu unlike other Indians which bombard you with endless choices. The starters in particular are very interesting and I chose a vegetarian option which I had never had before. It was really tasty. The mains were full of flavour. The wine we chose was also excellent. I really like the decor, it is modern but still intimate with plenty of ambience. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

Been to this Indian a few times and decided to book for NYE, had a great family meal,food and service was excellent. If you are in the area make sure you give it a try.

We’ve eaten here before as a couple and really thought it to be really top class. Although closed on Mondays, we asked if we could get a table for 12 on Xmas eve and they opened for us. Really beautiful food and well presented .... love it!

I have rarely eaten a better Indian meal than at the Indian Lodge. Recently opened this restaurant is gaining a following BT reputation only. A real hidden gem in Northamptonshire.

I have used the Indian Lodge restaurant on a number of occasions with friends & family, the quality of service compliments the quality of the food. Every dish is fresh, fragrant and well presented. The restaurant is attached to the Royal Oak Pub in Crick and in a unique way, the restaurant and pub can either combine your experience in the way that they compliment each other or enable an independent experience for you to enjoy.

I went to the Indian lodge for my birthday meal. The staff are wonderful and attentive, friendly and professional! The food was incredible. Not being able to tolerate spice but appreciating milder dishes I had tikka masala and it is probably the best one I've had! Would totally recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family and will definitely be visiting more often.

I have been here many times and had a couple of takeaways as well and have never been disappointed. Very generous portions and fantastic flavours every time. If you are sure of what you like they will make you something more suited or adapt something from the menu to make it to your taste with no complaints. The lamb is always so lovely and difficult not to choose even though the other meats are just as lovely. I have also heard nothing but good things about the fish! The staff are always very welcoming and treat you very well. It helps that there is a pub with proper ales available too so you can really make it what you want! Absolutely recommend to everyone even if you’re not keen on the cuisine as they have alternative options as well. Can’t wait until I go back again!

Yummy food, lovely atmosphere. Had a few drinks in the pub afterwards so it made for a lovely relaxed evening.

Tried this place tonight as my friend has just moved into the village and said how good it is.

This is a really fabulous Indian restaurant, with a good range of food for vegetarians. My only slight disappointment was that some of the more 'classic' Indian foods weren't available. Also, it's really hard to find if you don't know that access is though the pub, it should be more clearly signed. Overall, I would still recommend a visit!

This is an excellent Indian restaurant attached to the Royal Oak Pub in Crick . We ordered a takeaway and waited in the pub for our food to be prepared. Friendly staff, really well prepared tasty food. not far from Ibis hotel where we were staying.

Regarded by me and all my friends who have tried it as one of the best (if not thee best) curry houses going. Anwar is a great host, the order is always correct and prompt but best of all, tastes awesome. A very welcome addition to the village. Good work guys.

We visited in October during a weekend break. This is a lovely little resteraunt. You go through the pub to get to it. Service and food was top notch. I would recommend.

Myself and my husband decided to try the Indian lodge after our neighbours said they'd had a good take away there.

We recently held an 11 Squadron Raf Binrook reunion at The Royal Oak Crick. When we originally chose this pub the Indian Lodge did not exist. So it came as a bit of a surprise.

I had what might be the best lamb shank I’ve had here. Also, exceptional peshwari naan! Incredible. Great service, good selection. Everything in place, highly recommended.
