Indian Rose Restaurant & Takeaway in Plymouth

full of flavour. best Indian takeaway away I have had in years

Its a beautiful restaurant in a central location, came here on a Friday evening which was really busy but the place was extremely well staffed to keep up with the demand and the servers was really attentive to our table. The food was authentic and beautifully presented at a great price. This is probably of the best restaurant in Plymouth! I have decided to go with my family every week because the restaurant has the best atmosphere for spending time with family and eating, they even do takeaways/delivery service. Will definitely recommend to check this place out.

Third time ordering from them, and every time the food has been top-notch. Delivery was also very quick. Thank you, team! I will definitely be ordering again

A slight delay tonight due to a new driver which is very rare so me and the miss's phoned the restaurant and the boss sorted things for us. The driver apologised for the delay and food arrive nice and hot which was superbly tasty. Thanks M and Team.

We had a text to say there was a delay. Fine. But the food arrived cold. My husband ate his but my butter chicken was cold, gritty and flavourless. The naan bread unfortunately not any better. Stale, cold and after few bites, I gave up. It all went in the bin and I went to the coop over the road and got a ready meal. I hate leaving bad feedback, I genuinely think it might be down to being popular and busy. But we will not order again, second not bad delivery.

How can I express my time at the restaurant as walked in it was packed with customers this place must be famous the decor is so beautiful so welcoming now the food I would like to say was so delicious outstanding service definitely coming back again 😋😋😋😋😋

Always good food here and my latest visit was the best yet

food was undercooked.They deserve zero star for food . And the owner was very un professional over phone

Tonight was busy the boss rang to let us know of possible delays, him and his team still managed to get food to us on time despite everything. Thanks again M and your Team for your hard work and the free Coca-Cola. food was superb always a pleasure.

We found cling film in the naan bread

unbelievable quality of food yet again from the best Indian takeaway in Plymouth must pay a visit to the restaurant soon

10min early superb service and food all nice and hot plus all delivery notes where followed, I've been a loyal customer for just over a year and I can say I highly recommend Indian Rose. Thank you M and your Team for all your efforts until next time.

once again everything was superbly tasty and arrived 7 min early with all delivery note's being followed. Thanks again Team for all your hard work and thanks for the (free bottle of Coca-Cola) much appreciated.

The poppadoms were missing which means we had nothing to have with the dips

exceptional food from the best Indian restaurant/takeaway in Plymouth

Lovely food & great atmosphere. This is our favourite place to go for a curry.

Delicious food with huge portions! Our favourite place to come for a curry and even travel down from Newton Abbot to visit.

Still fantastic food, staff and atmosphere the best Restaurant in Mutley.

Superb food and all delivery note's where followed apart from no apology for being a bit late great job Team thanks again until next time.

Its our favorite takeaway. Always come here for an indian. Food is always delicious and nice and warm when delivered.

the best Indian takeaway in Plymouth for sure! lush flavours, the garlic chilli chicken was cooked perfectly . definitely recommend and I know good food, am a chef myself! thanks India rose

even though ut was slightly late it was worth it! amazing curry as always.

Time extended only after delivery due then only to arrive barely warm.

Superb food 3min early in total and all delivery notes where followed plus the driver was very friendly and polite. Thanks again Team for another tasty meal and all your hard work.

unfortunate due to traffic problems/accident en route to deliver but well worth the wait, exceptional quality of food once again from the best Indian takeaway in Plymouth. Will have to try the restaurant sometime

The food came cold, they forgot two items so we waited another 30mins and then they forgot one of those again.

onion bhaji 10/10 absolutely delicious. needs a wee bit of yogurt side thought. lamb tikka starter. 8/10. lamb mardras absolutely gorgeous chef can cook properly great balance and fresh. 10. pilau rice 8. Driver a lovely happy person. very nice person. so all highly recommended thank you. ps. I'm an old retired chef.

Superbly tasty food everything was great it all arrived 26min early from the total time window given and all delivery notes where followed. Thanks again Team for all your hard work.

we called several times each time to be told the driver was outside this went on for over 30 mins. apparently the driver couldnt find the premier inn in the centre of plymouth as they were new. then when the food arrived the poppodums were crushed and the curry had spilled all over the bag meaning there was no sauce in the curry

Thanks again Team for another tasty meal it arrived 15min early from the time window given, Everything was superb tonight apart from my delivery note was not followed (only reason why I can't give 5star rating) as I live on top-floor of a big house.

Food was slightly tasteless in our opinion, but was delivered very quickly and a fair price.

well worth the wait though exceptional food

absolute legends, they missed a dish from my order and came up and delivered it asap, really really appreciated and fantastic service. Food was delicious!

Food was another level. Service was spot on. Best Indian in town

Everything arrived 22min early in total from the time window given and was superbly tasty, However everything was a tad salty this time around I'm quite sure they have a new chef in the kitchen otherwise everything's good, Thanks again Team.

Unfortunately today we were disappointed. We were missing onion bhaji. The wrong naan bread and cold chips. Normally it’s a good take away today it was not.

20min early great however our two Saag Bhaji [Main's] had way too much salt in it this time around which was all we could taste instead of the garlic and buttery taste it normally has, apart from that everything else was superb. Thanks again Team.

Food wasn’t great to be honest , had a lot better curries elsewhere. Lamb meat in my curry was very rubbery, small portions , and chutney tray very overpriced. Lovely staff who were polite and friendly, but wouldn’t go back as price off food did not reflect the quality.

Thanks again Team for another superb meal everything arrived 20min early from the total time window given and was very tasty

Ordered and was missing my Naan bread, called and they said they would send it out. Was then another half an hour before receiving my Naan bread. And the rest of my food started to go cold.

We are reasonably regular visitors to the Indian Rose on Mutley Plain. The welcome, food and service has been really good during previous visits. However, our most recent visit was disappointing. * The heating was only switched on when we arrived, so it took a while for us to get warm, but as always, the owner gave us a warm welcome. * The four of us decided to order from the 'banquet menu.' Despite us being the only people in the restaurant, we had to call the waiter over, when he failed to notice we were ready to order. Unlike the owner, he was not very friendly. * The poppadum's were good, but the tray of 'sauces/onions' was very small and was not enough for four people. * Three of us were happy with the starters and main, but one suggested that for a 'banquet', their main course was presented in a small dish. The food was good though. * The menu had stated there was a choice of deserts, but we were told only vanilla ice cream was available, by our not so cheerful waiter. This turned out to be a very small serving too. * Following meals on previous occasions, the owner has given us a free Baileys each. This waiter did not offer any and even when the owner found out we had not been offered this, the waiter argued with the owner against providing same. Most times we have been here, this restaurant has only had a few people in there. This is a shame, because overall, it is a good place to go for a curry. Despite some negative points, we have booked to go back again, as we are confident this was a one off experience, as we have not had any problems before.

REALLY GREAT SERVICE , FOOD IS FABULOUS AND FOOD CAME REALLY QUICK HOW I WANTED ,MANAGEMENT WERE ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING AND WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK AGAIN .

Curries and starters: as a party of 6, we sampled a decent spread of the menu including starters, sides and mains. We found a lot of these curries to quite bland regarding flavour, with little spice. We found a lot of variation, with two Rogan Josh curries having completely different flavour profiles as one contained considerably more coriander than the other. Poppadoms and dips: we're used to paying a small fee for poppadoms before the meal, but are quite disappointed with the price of the poppadoms (£1 each) and the dip selection (~£3.50 each). We were automatically given 2 poppadoms per person, and three dip selections, which felt like overkill. This would've been fine, had the waiting staff not taken these away without our asking, meaning we paid for food we had not finished eating but had not been able to keep. Service: staff were friendly enough, very much on par with other Indian restaurants across Plymouth. We did however experience some confusion with our food being brought out, meaning we had to remind the staff of extra items ordered and they were incorrectly duplicated and added to the bottom of our receipt. That being said, the staff were very accommodating in removing these incorrect items before we paid - just make sure you check the receipt thoroughly! Overall, this was a nice change but we are unlikely to return again. Regardless, we thank the staff for their service during this birthday celebration evening :)

Amazing food delivered hot will definitely be ordering again.

Everything was superb and tasty the only thing was the new driver apparently went to the wrong address which made it 20min late, as a loyal customer I can say that this is very rare so We rang the restaurant and the boss sorted everything Thanks M

Absolutely delicious, hot tasty food

really really nice flavours and Quality well impressed 9-10

Food was fantastic. Good sized portions too!

Food was late being delivered,It was cold tasteless and bland.I would never 👎 order from here again.

The taste and quality of the food was amazing but due to being late, it caused the food to be cold which spoilt the overall meal, I wouldn't order for delivery again.

without a shadow of doubt the best Indian takeaway in Plymouth

great service, and polite. delicious food and the staff were so so helpful

The experience at this establishment was utterly disappointing, particularly due to the unprofessional demeanor of the staff. The ladies at the front desk exhibited a cheap and dismissive attitude, coupled with rude behavior that left a sour impression. They seemed to assume that customers were there to seek freebies, which is both insulting and degrading. Such a mindset not only undermines the reputation of the business but also reflects poorly on their training and professionalism. To make matters worse, the owner appeared to be clueless about how to handle customers effectively. Instead of addressing concerns or fostering a welcoming atmosphere, their approach felt indifferent and unhelpful. A customer visiting their premises deserves respect, courtesy, and proper assistance—not condescension or apathy. Spending money at such a place feels like a waste when the service fails to meet even basic standards of decency. The lack of proper customer service highlights a severe gap in management and employee etiquette. It’s baffling that an establishment would allow such behavior to persist without rectification. Good service is the backbone of any business, and this one clearly lacks it. In the end, visiting here feels less like an enjoyable experience and more like a regrettable ordeal. Such treatment not only drives away potential customers but also tarnishes the credibility of the establishment in the long run.

Our regular indian was closed so trying for 1st time...ordered 3 meals & every single person has said the same...looks nice but very bland with no flavour at all, it tastes nothing like indian and no spice to the spicy dish at all !! Wont redorder.

This Indian Restraint servis delicious and flavorful traditional cuisine, Unfortunately, my Rogan Josh was not spicy at all. I'm not sure if this was a mistake or if their food does not contain spice at all. The Indian Rose is decorated well, with a full laminated menue. The service I received was brilliant, and the food came quickly . However, I did witness confusion when taking other people's orders and several staff members pressing people to make an order when they were not ready. However, this hectic confusion could be all down to the fact that I came on a Friday, which is possibly the busiest time of day.. Based on my visit, I will not be returning , and I can not recommend this Indian restraint to others.

They had the wrong address, but the food was hot and delicious 😋

Thanks again Team for another superbly tasty meal everything arrived 6min early in total.

Fast Delivery, smaller than expected portions filled with just lots of onions, the chicken wings were tasty , but only 3 and a few cubes of lamb also filled with onions seemed not good value for money . The Sag main was disappointing, very bland and just tasted like watery spinach - chunks of tomato used as filler , but plenty prawns added to the dish . The standout was the wings and the naan was tasty but unlikely to reorder the same dishes from here again.

Everything was superb and arrived 25min early in total from the time window given, I've ordered many times now and the boss who I spoke to on the phone back along and his staff are always friendly and helpful I highly recommend Indian Rose.

everything tasted like cheese and soap, not a lot of variation within flavours of different dishes. could finish more than a bite of each. i got the vegetable balti, garlic rice, garlic nan and onion bites. very disappointed

I've been wanting to go to this award winning restaurant for ages & it didn't disappoint. Situated on Mutley Plain, although fairly small, there are plenty of tables and you don't feel cramped together. It is a very "Instagram-able" place with pink neon lighting & pink flower covered walls. Only downside to the lighting is that all the food & yourselves look very pink/ purply. I took a few photos of the food with a flash so the dishes look real! We booked a table for 15 and the staff were very efficient at taking our orders and gave friendly service. There is a very extensive menu, with lots of new, un-commonly seen dishes to try. Many varieties of pilau rice & naan breads. The Madu hot honey naan was crispy & delicious. Every one of our party really enjoyed their food and will be returning. We went early on a mid-week evening so the staff could cope with our large order etc. However, to help them it would be preferable if you could order in advance when booking. They also offer take-away.

Food was lovely, shame the Chicken Tikka Masala was all over the bag!

Bhajis too salty to eat, my ‘dry’ dish of off the bone tandoori chicken drowning in oil, and lots of bones and bone parts. Keema rice was just basmati rice, with a few bits of lamb tikka, not mince.

My experience was a mixed one. While the host and waitresses were very nice, I feel like this papered over pretty average food. Our food took over 40 minutes to arrive to our table, and it when it did all of our rices were clumped together, as if they had been put in the microwave. The curry itself was okay but I think the wait for food and price of the meal slightly hindered the taste. There was no compensation or freebies for the wait for food, however I believe they gave freebies to customers who ordered food via online, which I found interesting. Extra charges for the dips that came with the food is something I haven't encountered before either. While the restaurant was fairly busy when we ordered our food, anything complementary would have been nice to cover for the wait. I would choose Himalayan Spice over this place for quality of food.

Thanks again M for another awesome meal your team did a superb job everything arrived 40min early in total from the time window given and was very tasty. Thanks again to you and your Team, until next time.

Ordered for 2020 came at 2105 food was not hot just warm

superb food as usual, arrived 18min early. Thanks again Team for another tasty meal.

Staff and food was spot on, would definitely come back next time I'm down 👍🏻

Another great meal, the best Indian food in Plymouth can't fault it. Thanks again Peter

It was really delightful to book a date night it was nice and people was really delightful 1000 stars

Very good service and delicious food I love Indian food. They have won a national best restaurant award 2023 and now 2024 definitely the best looking and amazing delicious food .

It was so nice to be there And I saw curry awards 2024 they definitely deserve to win .

Despite being busy there Team got our food to us which was superb, 5min early. Thanks again Team for another tasty meal.

I got the wrong drink and the wrong naan and the butter chicken wasn’t mixed or had been sat so long it had separated

Superb food as usual thank you again M and your Team for all your hard work and another tasty meal.

Our favourite Indian takeaway 😊 Best one in plymouth

Delicious food, amazing service and excellent decor - a special thanks to deepa and deepa. We will be visiting again next week! We love you Jas and coco xxxxxx

Everything was superb and great value for what you get which all arrived 10min early from the total time window given. Thank you M and your Team for all your hard work for another very tasty meal.

Popped in for a quick dinner early on a Friday evening. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the decor is nice. There is a lot of choice on the menu, including plenty of vegetarian options. I couldn’t decide what I wanted so had 2 side dishes. The food was nice, nothing mind blowing but enjoyable. Prices were comparable to other similar restaurants. Will probably return at some point.

My favourite Indian restaurant and takeaway, always so good and lovely staff

Missing onion bajis which my daughter stayed up late waiting for as order was 35 mins late drinks were warm as were in with hot food not separate

This was the BEST Indian Takeaway that we've ever had! Food was boiling hot when it arrived and the dishes were absolutely delicious. Thank you!

15min early, superbly tasty plus delivery driver confirmed our order as just-eat keep removing StoneHouse from our address also our builder had covered up the doorbell when he left tonight, so well-done and thank you Team for dealing with the issue.

I was disappointed after seeing the good views I thought I would try this place. It was 30minutes late and had to phone twice to try and find where my order was to get told it was on its way. The onion bhaji was cold, the other food was just hot. I didn't receive the correct items as well. On the good side the curry was nice, just wished it had been on time.

Staff do not recieve tips!! And the job is highly underpaid. I'm owed tips! I want my tips. The boss even blocked me for asking for my tips. I still.have the evidence

Great choice on the menu and delivered on time nice and hot. No complaints at all

Great food. The atmosphere Is a bit weird because the lighting makes everything look weird and the decorations are terrible but other than that everything was great.

Everything arrived 10min early and was very tasty and all order notes were follow. Thanks again Team for your hard work, service and superb meal.

Had an early dinner, as here on business, but felt very welcome and really enjoyed the food. So friendly, I ordered from the special menu and loved my dinner and side dishes. A treat and would come back and recommend it. Close walk to my accommodation. Ideal. Thank you Rose staff for your hospitality.

Can't fault the food but terrible customer services. Owner was very unfair. I was sick so unable to eat the food until too days later. I ordered on the 26th Aug and realised today (28th Aug) that they didn't deliver my Peshwari nan. At first the guy on the phone said "I can't verify the booking as it was via JustEat" then I told him it was on their website. He told me to wait whilst he serves another customer. Then all of a sudden "I can't verify it on our website as it was 2 days ago" even though I could easily give him the order number. All I wanted was a Peshwari nan, I didn't ask for a whole new meal. He then tried to fob me off and said next time order through Justeat and put it in the request box- I said to him if he can't verify now and it's been 2 days, why would they verify it if I next order in 3 months time. Makes no sense. Was trying to fob me off. Didn't want to be helpful and didn't want to compensate me a simple nan bread. Even though the food is nice, customer service will keep me going at my original place which I recommend for others in Plymouth called Cinnamon Garden Express who were closed and hence why I had to order from here. Also please note the amount of fat they put in their food...

driver left food at the door and didn't knock I only knew the food was there when I rang the restaurant and was told by the manager it was MY own fault the food was cold

Well this is nothing on Birmingham currys could not wait to leave a review over PRICED. Menu said thay serve a glass of wine but said no only bottle. Lamb starter was like extra gum. Chips on menu but give u fries. And no vinger had to go to counter to pay no one offered table service DONT USE THESE PPL also was dog in there

AMAZING SERVICE I LOVED IT HERE

tasty food, 5min early Great, However I was not impressed with both of my saag-bhaji's arriving as side-orders when one of them was meant to be a main. so I can't give a 5*quality this time. I'll take business elsewhere if this happens again. sorry M
