Khyber in Swindon

Great Indian restaurant with really friendly staff! Never had a bad meal at the Khyber, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an Indian in Swindon.

Came with friends for my birthday. The meals where a Thursday special price , you get a lot for your money. It was very tasty. The music was pleasant not to loud so you could talk and enjoy.the staff are very attentive. Also I got spoilt, they gave me birthday balloons cake and a bunch of flowers. I don't know how they can afford to do this . I love going there , but that was special , so thank you. Lindy O'Leary..

Great food, great service. In Swindon for a couple of days, stayed in Premier In not far away. Found this place by accident, as it didn’t show up on Google maps search. Had a lamb methi and a paneer side on the first night. Delicious, well spiced and seasoned, staff were friendly and despite having not ordered popadums I got back to discover I had three added, with pickles. Despite alternatives went back the following night, had a biryani and Dahl side. Again lovely, and again freebie popadums and pickles. Can’t recommend this place enough, I live in Norfolk so probably won’t be back in the near future, but would rate this as probably the best Indian takeaway I’ve been to.

Second time my take away meal has been cold. Not acceptable for less than a 200m delivery. Tried to get help on their own site but no options.

Food had no flavour staff don’t ask if anything is okay very disappointed for an Indian restaurant would have expected a bit more better service and quality.

Visited the much debated Kyhber on Saturday night, "Wiltshire's oldest Indian". Large establishment, and the first thing that stood out to us was the cleanliness of the place! The Halim soup for starters is one of the finest starters that I have ever had, I did not want this party in my mouth to end! It was full of tender lamb infused with lemon, garlic and lentils and whatever other miracle ingredients they had thrown in. The chicken Ceylon arrived with pure coconut powder sprinkled all over the top! It actually tasted like coconut and it actually tasted like a Ceylon. Usually when you order your Ceylon you will get something that just tastes like a madras. This place got the flavour right, I only know two other curry houses in England that have ever got that right before. Chicken quality ok, the usual pumped with water chicken. A few things let them down though - not enough sauce in the main curry dishes to cover the rice, infact the short fall made the dish quite dry and Ceylon needs to be rich and saucy. The naan bread with the soup was burnt to a cinder...why was this not quality checked? Why make AMAZING flavours and then ruin it by this. Friendly multinational waiters, however they annoyingly pace up and down far too much like loose ends. That's very off putting. I would go back for sure. Mr Curry

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my father's birthday. On making the booking the customer service sounded good, they asked if our visit was for an occasion. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and the staff wished my father a happy birthday. We were then shown to our table which had happy birthday balloons in place. The food and service throughout was excellent. On completion of our meal my father was presented with a birthday cake and a round of applause from the staff. This along with the balloons was unexpected, but made my fathers evening. He was smiling throughout the meal and all the way home. I highly highly recommend the food which was top notch. I can't thank the staff enough for their attention to detail and for turning an otherwise ordinary birthday meal into one that we will all remember and that has us all planning a return trip to this amazing place

We booked a table at the Kyber to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday as she loves curry and we have always had good quality sit down meals and takeaways from the restaurant. When we booked the table we just mentioned that it was my daughters birthday and that we would be bringing a cake with us.

Went for dinner to celebrate a family birthday and ordered biriyani. Unfortunately had very little taste to it - assume that they're catering for English taste. Having said that the poppadums were the best we've had and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

This is by far the best take away delivery curry in Swindon. They are courteous and the food quality is brilliant.

Very friendly service and food excellent .We had a wonderful evening thanks to the staff ,they were very attentive and helpful,the three of us really enjoyed our meals.Would very much recommend it ,Clean and a nice setting in a central location.Cant wait to go back.

Came here with friends who live in Old Town in July, this is one of there regular spots and came highly recommended. Can see why as the food delicious choosing from a wide ranging menu. Super friendly staff and a good atmosphere made for a great night......beer also helped!

Admittedly, clean and nice setting. The chilli starter wings were not chilli at all and needed more salt. The mixed grill was extremely dry. The curries we had were good and the naan was nice and soft. Nice finishing touch was the heated wet wipes, the orange segments as palate cleansers and the little chocolates at the end. The staff were pleasant too. Remember the poppadums that are offered at the beginning are chargeable.

Visited as a group of 10 and we were all very pleased with the quality of food and the excellent service, we were properly looked after. They have the offer of any curry and rice for only £7.25 on Thursdays. Very clean place. Would highly recommend it.

A lovely place to go for a meal. Our server was very friendly and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend and will be going again.

I cannot rate the Khyber highly enough, they decorated the table for my wife's birthday without me asking and nothing is to much trouble for them and the food is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are really welcoming.

Went with a group of friends, excellent friendly staff.Such good choice of food and amazing value for money.Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I visit this place regularly, it has been open since 1962 owned by the same family. They pride themselves on providing excellent food and great service. A must try, highly recommended.

Visited one Friday evening with friends. This restaurant was close and we thought we'd try it. I wish we hadn't. The food was bland the Popadom sauces where tasteless and watered down. The staff where rushed and rude. I think they cater for the drunk and expect people to forget the service. We where very much sober and plan to visit the other curry houses in swindon (definitely not this one again)

A great find. never been to Swindon to eat before so had no idea. This was the closest Indian restaurant to our hotel so gave it a try. Great surprise. Really good food, nice sized portions, great, friendly service and nice touches with free coffee etc. highly recommended. will come again next time in Swindon.

The Khyber is a very good value Indian Restaurant in Swindon.They have a large range of curries available - some at an exceptionally low price. All are good quality.

A belated birthday meal for a frien and, we ate off the £7.25 curry & rice menu, and we were pleasantly surprised at the wide choice. The service was excelent and the meals were hot, well cooked and plentiful. The deal runs from Sunday to Thursday, and I would highly recommend it. The meal was completed by complentary coffees, my frien had a Caribbean, and I had it straight (Stoptober- Macmillan). We will be back!

really love this indian and i would never go anywhere else.the food is great and they are so kind and helpful and its so reaonable to eat there and we go there often

Some friends told me "When you come over, we'll take you to the best one in Swindon". I've tried indian food, but was never told what to order. Tonight I've been taught how to have one of the best dinners in the UK. Tasteful, looking amazing and great service too. Strongly advice to anybody who loves Indian food and the same way to curious people as I am. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

The restaurant is to a very good standardThe staff make you feel very welcome I visited the restaurant on 2 nights , and both times the food was quick very well presented and deliciousHighly recommended

Let me tell you something first, for me Indian food is probably the least favourite... this restaurant was nice, staff pleasant and food yummy... really tasty.

The bullet chilli curry omg! Recommend this to anyone who likes a hot curry I honestly have never tasted a curry so good in my life!!!! And I like a curry!!!! A++++++

I visited with my children aged 5/9/11 on a monday i am a cheap skate we had visted CHENAI DOSA the week before and it was awfull Maybe we ordered the wrong things there was no advise with the menu but the KHYBER WAS WONDERFULL my youngest daughter got excited she told the waiter it was epic and awesome like i said im a cheapskate mon to thur you get curry and rice 695 plus wonderfull sevice we loved it

My husband and I have been going to this Indian restaurant for our 'date night' every month for nearly 8 years. On every occasion the staff are courteous and attentive and often offer us a complimentary drink at the end of the meal. Their Dhansak and Jalfrezi dishes (our favourites) are always hot with tender meat and full of flavour. Can't fault it.

It advertises itself in its window as Wiltshires best Indian Restaurant.... and not ever having had an Indian meal in Wiltshire before, who am I to argue.All I know is the meal I had was lovely, prawns in a spicy sauce. There were only 5 prawns, but they were big boys and more than enough for me. Plenty of tasty sauce and just spicy enough for me. I cant comment on the atmosphere as it was midweek and quiet, but the place was clean and the staff were very niceGive it a go, I was far from disappointed

My twin cousin's had their birthday meal here and the service was incredible. On top of that, they had decorated the table, bought a birthday cake, and two bunches of flowers for them! Never experienced staff going the extra mile quite like it before. And the food was superb.

Been going here for a few years just never got around to leaving a review on here.Staff our excellent food is good very well priced the restaurant is set out lovely. All ways happy faces to greet you would defo recommend

This is a fantastic curry house with great quality meat and good tasting curry. Each dish is completely different and full of flavour. To eat in, or take out, this restaurant always comes up to scratch and outdoes any other curry house in the town. Staff are friendly and everything is very hygienic and well-presented. There are many mid-week offers on which make it a fantastically good deal finance wise. Personally I always have the chicken tikka starter which is delicious! Well marinated with onions and a little bit of sauce/juice that the chicken has been cooked with. In the restaurant it is well presented, served from a sizzling plate to add to the whole experience. I have had the chicken tikka massala as well as the chicken jalfrezi which I ask to be extra spicy. Mild or spicy, both curries come up to scratch and are delicious! Drinks are reasonable priced too and there is an extensive range of food on the menu. Absolutely nothing to complain about at this restaurant and would strongly recommend it!

Lovely restaurant , friendly staff, great value for money, open till late and amazing food what more can you ask for? I recommend the vegetable korma it was one of the best I've had .

As always fantastic service from the khyber who has been making locals happy since 1962. Great tasting food and great service. Always welcoming everyone with a smile. One of only a few Indian restaurants in the Swindon area to be awarded a high 5 out of 5 for health and hygiene by swindons food standard agency. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Decent food; the lime pickle was particularly good, and the curries we had were nice but not that hot (even the one marked with three chillies on the menu).Service was attentive. Waiter didn't seem to know what the house wine was (Spanish white, Spanish red or Rose from somewhere!). That said, I was a bit hesitant to order such a house wine without knowing what it was, so they brought me a taster of it first and the wine was actually very nice.There are a number of really good curry houses in Swindon, and this one is pretty decent, so I'd return if I was nearby and it was convenient.

Superb quality every time. Delivery times are great and the food was outstanding. Chicken cooked to perfection.

Outstanding service and great food. Would recommend anyone to go here. Lovely atmosphere and the Chicken Tikka I had was outstanding, Will be revisiting for sure

Been there as long as I can remember. Staff are first class and food is good if a tad on the safe side.

Nice smart indian restaurant with a good bar and friendly staff.Had chicken tikka biryani, aloe gobo, special rice and keema nan.All good and reasonable price.I can see why it has been in business so long nothing stands out but what they do do, they do well.A very relaxed meal.Will dine here again! G

Love this restaurant. Nice little touches like lemon cloth to wipe your hands and face on after meal. Little things like this mean that people keep coming back as you don't get this kind of service in the less traditional restaurants. Excellent food as always and the attention to detail by staff is exceptional without being intrusive. Well done all the staff at the Khyber.

I stayed overnight in Swindon with 2 friends in a local hotel on 15 April and we decided to head to walk to the nearest curry restaurant for our evening meal. This took us to the Khyber restaurant a short walk away and seeing that place seemed reasonably well patronised we decided to try it out. We were immediately shown to a table adjacent to the window and ordered our drinks and popadoms with the pickle tray whilst we studied the menu. The restaurant is reasonably well decorated and was quite spacious inside. The drinks and popadoms arrived in a timely manner whish gave us chance to make our choice of meals. I chose the seekh kebab rfollowed by chicken rogan josh whilst my colleagues chose prawn puri, spicy chicken wings for starters and chicken madras and chicken tikka massalla for mains. Again the starters arrived a few minutes after we had finished our popadoms and were reasonably well presented, Whilst the spicy chicken wings lived up to expectations, both my colleague and myself were both of the opinion that our starters whilst adequate were both somewhat lacking in taste and spiciness. After finishing our starters we were asked by our waiter if we were ready for our main courses. These duly arrived with pilau rice and naans and were of ample proportions. Whilst we enjoyed the food we were all of the same opinion that we were somewhat underwhelmed by a slight lack of taste and spiciness similar to our starters. On completion of the meal out bill arrived in a timely manner. To sum up the service was very good, the ambience slightly above average but I can only rate the food as average and definitely lacking in flavour and spice.

We went there on Sat 16 April. Overall good. A good amount of food per portion. Although we did think that the food could have been hotter when it came out. Although there was 8 of us for a party. We did think that the food could be more flavoursome with the spices, instead of a lot of chillies. Otherwise quite good.

Had a lovely meal here last night with family and friends for my partners birthday. One of our group was in a wheelchair and needed to use the toilet but when my partner helped our friend to go into the gents the wheelchair was able to get through the door but once in was unable to turn.I know they might not get many wheelchair users in but think they need to think about adapting the toilets very slightly to allow disabled access if needed.

Had a really good meal here tonight, just cannot fault anything. We chose well, and everything was perfect, as expected. Will return soon.

My friend introduced me to this restaurant after a night out and was the best indian I've ever had will be visiting again soon!

Nothing but good things to say about our experience. The food was excellent, and the portions were big. The best part was that we were able to bring our 5-month old. We have a cloth attachment for any chair so he was able to sit at the table with us, and the staff were very interactive with him. It helped that he was in a good mood, but the experience was fantastic overall. Would go back.

Will be here forever this place as it is so consistent that it will never lose customers.Chicken Vindaloo was not as hot as i would of liked but very tasty, naan bread is gorgeous. You have got 3 or 4 resteraunts better than this in the town but you never get a bad curry here so it s hard to knock this place. You do get a few idiots in here after the pubs shut so go early and you wont be disappointed.

The staff were very polite and the restaurant was very clean and tidy on Saturday night at around midnight when we went for a Jalfrezi .Unfortunately we found the food let the place down as it was just very European in its taste and just over spiced to make it taste hot. We regularly have a curry(first time here ) and didn't find it very authentic at all.Portion sizes were fine

I have visited here in the past and not had a problem. However my most recent visit was not one to write home about thats for sure!! Visited here with two friends back in October. Went for popadoms to start, and found a small black hair in amongst our onion salad accompaniment. Curry didn't have much taste at all.. and service was shockingly slow. Would definitely not go back in a hurry.

they do not give you much on the meal and there is no taste too compared to pleases I been I been there a few times in the past but its gone down hill since maybe new owner's or just do not care most the time I eat 2 times at a place to make sure that there was no off night but not in the case here will not come back

I visited this restaurant originally with my partner in August and had a really nice meal that we described as one of the best Indian meals we have ever had. So we were super excited to try the restaurant again. Upon doing so we sat down and decided to get a take away. We felt like the gentleman who served us was very keen to get us to spend money on other meals and drinks etc which from a business perspective we understand however he missed one of the dishes off our order we realised when we got home (we only ordered two other dishes). The food this time around was atrocious, very poor and bland with no flavors and only marginally warm. Unfortunately this bad experience has put us off visiting again. Which is a shame !

Nice Indian restaurant near the town centre. Great food, Good attentive staff not rushing you through your meal. Will not be disappointed.

My wife and I stopped here on Monday for a meal. What can I say it was fantastic,from the minute we got in we were looked after buy our waiter and the chef cooked my wife a special and not too hot curry. Will be back soon

Only stopped here by chance and glad I did ! Prawn puri starter was really nice (might have liked it a bit spicier though) but the pathia main was gorgeous! Naan breads seemed to be freshly made in the kitchen and the garlic Naan was beautiful! Big thumbs up for this place!

Haven't been to the Kyber for 20 years, how I regret it. It was the best Indian meal for a long time. So tasty, not over powered by chilli, will be back very soon. It must be the best in Swindon.

We had a really good meal in this attractive restaurant. Attentive service, good wine and it was clean and well decorated. No oily food here and some unusual dishes on the menu. Well worth a visit.

Love this place, very clean, staff welcoming, food amazing , good prices, don't feel rushed, would deff recommend best curry house in town

There are several Indian restaurants close by in this part of Swindon and picked this one to try. This was mainly to try the lamb thali but found this was not on the new menu (it seems it is the old one on display in the window). In fact I was given the special menu (£6.95 for a traditional curry+ rice) but wanted the normal menu and had to ask for this. The food was generally ok. I had a lamb methi which tasted excellent but had a couple of bits of guffy meat. The seek kebab was quite small and bright red which always puts me off but tasted good. The general ambiance was pretty good and the service was excellent and very friendly. Despite being late on Wednesday there were plenty of other diners. Overall a reasonable and enjoyable indian meal but nothing special .

I went out for a meal with some friends to the Khyber last week. The experience was nothing short of excellent. I had a tetul mix wrap starter and the flavours literally burst in my mouth it was from a new menu and It was beautiful, Then the mains came along, I ordered lamb bhuna massala a bit boring I know but it is one of my favourite dishes which went down a treat. I would highly recommend the khyber to anyone that is a fan of Indian food as the guys at Khyber really know what they are doing. A1 SERVICE! 5 STAR FOOD!

Really love the kyber! the 6.99 deal- with rice and curry is great and the staff are nice. Just watch out for the drinks...

Being a regular at the khyber in swindon must say they never fail to surprise me with the huge range dishes from all around India and bangladesh.I just tried there new menu and I wanted something small so I was highly recommend a Tetul mix wrap and I have to say it was amazing and I would recommend every one to try there new and old menu I can asure you will not be disappointed.

food was amazing and the staff are lovely really welcoming the enviroment is lovely too we did go early evening so wasnt really busy which helped would really recomend

The Khyber is the best curry house in Swindon, staff always so friendly, excellent service takeaway/sitting in. The food is perfection and always hot, they always tell me delivery will be an hour as I'm quite far away however it's always early! Very impressed!

I have visited this restaurant quite a few times now and will continue to return because of the welcoming staff and consistently great food!I have been for an evening meal with my hubby, a double date with our friends and even a family meal with my parents. Every time, the food was delicious and the setting perfect. It may not be the best place for very young children as it has a very calm atmosphere and do not specifically cater for very young children. However, I would recommend anyone to visit on any occasion. I believe the staff make this place as they are tentative enough without being overbearing. They are always smiling and generally happy to help in any way they can.The little extras are nice additions too. Such as the warm hand towels you are given at the end of your meal and the slices of fresh orange to finish.A couple of points to be made:Car Parking - There are a few free spaces out the front of the restaurant but these are not generally available. I would sugget the most reliable and easiest place to park (Where we normally park) is the Morrisons carpark opposite the restaurant. Its not very far and generally only costs £1 for the evening. Booking - Reservations are taken although not neccessary most of the time. The restaurant can become quite busy on Friday and Saturday evenings but unless you are a large party bookings arent always needed. I would suggest simply calling ahead to make sure.So if you fancy an Indian or are looking for a place to have a nice meal out in Swindon, give them a chance. Im sure you'll come to love it like I do.

All ways have a great meal at the Khyber, my meal was fantastic once again.Staff are great to talk to, always happy to help. Tried something different this time, can't remember what it was called, but it was spot on, full of flavours. See you soon

good food good service and open very late at weekends so idle when on late shift to get a takeaway or sit down Curry

Didn't like food at all. Roti was good enough, but the curry spoilt the whole thing. Rice was too oily n dry.

I've been visiting Swindon on a regular basis due to work, I love my Indian curries, I like to try different restaurants depending on where I work, a work colleague recommended to try out Khyber, so I did.Well what can I say, amazing food, I tried out the jal Jul chicken, it was full of flavours. very nice staff all ways ready to assist, nice atmosphere, overall an excellent visit. So far in Swindon Ruchi and the Khyber has surprised me with the quality of the food and service.

Nice food lovely place know the guys there and always happy to alter menu to cook something you will enjoy. Very competitive prices always enjoy food here x

I was sat right buy the window when my keema naan and jal ju came and a police van came with half a dozen policemen in the jumped out and came and arrested all the kitchen staff it was like something out of romper stomper!!!!! Left without paying as there we're no staff left

Swindon is basically bereft of fine dining. But this place is really good. Went twice in one week. The service is excellent and it serves the full panoply of anglo-Indian curries and tandoori dishes. However, I think the best features are the special dishes under "Chef's recommendations" - these highlight the chef's talents. In the bread department, the Roti is good.

Booked for 20 initially tho in the end there were only 12. The Khyber did a deal for £20 each to include a drink, a starter, main meal, starter, rice and nan bread and then threw In a free coffee for everyone..I was impressed at how they managed all the orders, delivered all the main dishes together, kept polite and helpful and the food was good as well!

The restaurant is very nice and the staff are very nice as well.Seems to be a popular restaurant with people. We went as a group of four. To be honest, Two out of the four of us enjoyed their food, personally I thought that my chicken tikka masala was a little bit on the bland side, as did my friend about his lamb jalfriezi. However it was really well presented as was all of the food that we ordered.It is a nice restaurant and the staff are really nice. It was a very clean restaurant, and was very busy when we went on a Saturday night.

Visiting Swindon in business and some lads recommended this as a good indian .... Wasn't disappointed at all ..... The food was really tasty full of flavour and the service was excellent

A group of 3 of us last Friday visited, and became ill with sickness We all visited the GP and advised it was Food poising from this restaurant AVOID At all costs if you don't want to become il We now are looking to get food standers involved they only have a rating of 3 for food safety beware.

Prawn purée was alright, bread fine, the main absolutely disgusting! Burnt pan taste throughout. Total waist of money.

Having lived in Swindon for 8 years, I've tried a fair few of the take aways around the town and tried this based on the strength of the reviews here. Ordered a take away by phone and was told it would be 45 mins to an hour, so was pleasantly surprised when it turned up in around 30 minutes, but that was where the pleasantness ended as the quality of the food was appalling.We ordered two of the house specialities, but both of them were swimming in ghee. Even the rice was swimming in ghee (why on earth would you cook rice in ghee?). The meat was gristly and not very fresh, all of the vegetables were over-cooked and soggy, there was no heat or spice to either of the dishes and the rice had clearly come out of a packet and was also over-done. As curries go in Swindon, this is way below par. Won't be returning here.

The food is excellent! Really good service and you don't have to wait long! The food is soooo tasty! I had a lamb methi and it was brilliant! Well worth a visit! We will be going back. Dim lighting but does make it a little romantic!

Lovely friendly staff know them well now food always good very reasonable cost nice bar selling various drinks tables very nice alway little flowers on in vases

Great food, great friendly staff and great prices, such a nice place to eat I would highly recommend a visit.

We visited this place so many times and the food is excellent. The menu is excellent planty if dishes to choose from. The staff is on the spot helping nature and good for party and day out occasions

I have been eating here since 1967 when Ali owned it, it was tiny then and you struggled to get in on a Saturday night. The food is still very good and the service was excellent, highly recommended

We have just had the most fantastic curry. It was delicious and full of good quality chicken which always shows a good quality restaurant. Will certainly go back again.

We have normally had good service here, however this time we have had a very bad experience that was nothing to do with the food. Unfortunately my young daughter had a glass of wine knocked over her by a waiter. Not a major disaster - but we were accused of fabricating the episode to get a free meal! We were even accused of pouring water over ourselves - even though we didn't actually have any water at our table!The waiter even had the audacity to say we were at fault by positioning the wine glass in the 'wrong place' on our table!My daughters mobile phone was dripping with wine and would not work and my wife's clothes were wringing wet - and yet the staff accused us of 'trying it on' to get a discount on our meal!Finally the manager tried to pull the race card by informing me that he was more English than I was - as if that had anything to do with it! As I said, our experience was nothing to do with the food, which was ok. It was the aggressive attitude of the staff and their refusal to accept that they were in the wrong. Not the place to take a family. We won't be going back, that's for sure!

I have been visiting this restaurant since the 60's and it is still the best for food and service. I would certainly recommend this to everyone.

This has got to be the best Indian cuisine in Swindon and the service is very good. ***** would recommend it to everyone or taw hill tandoori fab food and service to.

The people of Swindon seem friendly and welcoming for the most part. This was especially so in the Khyber where I enjoyed a veggie Jalfrezi and side which arrived rapidly and were kept warm above a candle heater. I've had better before but the food was tasty and I'd certainly return, perhaps to try the veggie Thali next time.

Since moving to Swindon 4 years ago, we must have eaten at every Indian Restaurant and Takeaway in Swindon and have been disappointed to date. Finally we found The Khyber. We ate there on a Saturday evening in Feb 2014, not having booked and were seated easily. The waiters were attentive and the menu varied. We ordered a Chicken Balti and a Chicken Korai, both were fabulous. The Nan bread was the best I've ever eaten anywhere, being really fresh and light. Cobra beer was offered on draught as well as a there being good range of other drinks.Overall, I recommend this place fully. It's not the best or prettiest location, but once through the door the food and service are fabulous. Will be returning very soon, thank you chaps.

Being old enough to know really good food when I find it I can thoroughly recommend using the Khyber Restaurant. Obviously you focus first on the quality and taste of the food but these Guys go further than that..... and that makes SUCH a difference in these days of disinterested mediocre service.. Over all - damn excellent.. go book yourself a table soon. G

I visited for a friends birthday, as a large group we had booked ahead in order to secure a table. No one in our group ordered starters and we waited an hour and a half for the main courses to arrive. A fact highlighted by the customers around us whom has entered after us and left before we had eaten! Having attempted to order a drink several times we conceded that it was indeed hopeless, many of the staff appeared to be learning on the job and perhaps this was the reason for the length of delay. When asked why our meals were taking so long we were rudely told that "this is not fast food", a fact that was becoming alarmingly apparent. Once the food did arrive many of the portions were very small and thus people remained hungry. As a reward for the bush-tucker trial we had completed we were gifted a glass of Martini Prosecco by means of apology, sadly this had been switched with something not dissimilar to vinegar perhaps unbeknownst to the staff; and was thus undrinkable.

ordered a takeaway & delivered the wrong meal.- very rude to my wife when she phoned; no apology! never going back there again...one thing they did deliver; the credit card receipt, name & address of the person the other curry was from.

I have been visiting this place for some years. Normal currys are average but it's the chef specials that keep me coming back with dishes that are quite different, unusual and very tastyThis is reflected in the place being busy most nights of the week.But in recent times, the standard of service seems to be slipping. Even on the not so busy nights, one is often left waiting and the waiting staff often seem disinterested.I have since found better curry houses in Swindon within 5 minutes of this one with better food and much better service,

We ordered a takeaway and it took over an hour and a half to come. We phoned after an hour and they just said, another 20 mins, no apology. When it did arrive, the food was greasy, bland and the curries tasted the same despite being completely different. We asked for medium curries and there was zero spice and the lamb in one of them was chewy and frugal. As you can tell, I'm totally hacked off at paying for crappy food yet again.

vile people. Ordered food for delivery over 45 minutes late no apology just...were busy.By the time it gets here it's frezzing cold and they want me to pay full price. Still no apology or call.Used to be a loyal customer...wouldnt dream of going back again.

My parents go here every single week, i have at least 2 a week from elsewhere. I must say we must be vindaloo Connoisseurs by now. My first vegetable vindaloo that they bought out tasted like Tesco curry sauce with chilli powder and a lot of it, I raised the attention of a passing waiter which quickly apologised, tool back to the kitchen, within 5-10 minutes a fresh main had been served as well as a replenishment of the rice I had used. Very professional and properly handled I think.We later came back for mums birthday for a table of 14.The staff had decorated the table and walls for us, after a great meal they bought out a birthday cake with candles and then just as we left presented her with a not small bunch of flowers.Certainly look after their regulars.

Was with a group of friends who basically wanted to drink and chat a bit longer so we found ourselves in here, as everywhere else was closed before midnight on a Thursday in Swindon-metropolis-of-Wiltshire. We had to order food in order to stay and I was really very impressed with my delicious king prawn dupiaza which was fresh and vibrant. Although I did not think I was that hungry I ate every bit of it! Nice, friendly service. It's great that this place is still going strong after all these years.

Went there last night with some experienced curry eaters from Birmingham. Food was delicious and full of flavour. Seasoning was spot on and the meat was cooked to perfection. Definitely going again.

As always, the Khyber comes up trumps. We had a 18th birthday meal for our daughter, with a few of her friends. The service and food were excellent, and they even provided a birthday cake with candles and a verse of "Happy Birthday". This is always our first choice of Indian restaurant in the town.

Me and my partner went here on a Saturday night at around 7.30. The food was brilliant and the service was excellent as always. If you want a curry in the swindon area, definately try The Khyber you won't be dissapointed
