Kutting Chai in Swindon

Best Indian food I have ever tasted in London so far!! I went with my family for dinner and all enjoyed. Took our memories back to Mumbai!! Reasonably priced. Keep up the good work guys.

This so-called place says it serves delicious food, but sorry to say, the owner and his chef need to go to mumbai to taste the food. At present, they are not serving mumbai style food. It tastes like it's Bangali restaurant food. I am a foodie and from Mumbai. If they can't make the taste proper of their food them atleast change the menu and remove the name of the place. Food what we order was also not cooked properly. Need to work out on taste .

Was struggling where to go for my birthday lunch treat. Recently heard about this place through my mum who had friends that visited this often. This food was divine. I had the fish thalidomide and what a treat that was! For those not acquainted with this typical street food, it is a round tray with several little round pots of different food stuff. You have pickle in one which is quite sour and not too wet, you have a bowl of rice, and luscious curry pot with prawns in, another pot with quite a few small clams in, poppadom the pièce de la résistance was the fish. Coated it crispy breadcrumbs, the white fish was so soft, delecate and deboned. Wasn't entirely sure how best to eat this, so I picked at it individually, but it all tasty super scrummy. The staff were super friendly and happy to explain things where you needed, such as what type of fish it was. The price was very reasonable and the place inside was all nicely decorated with authenticity and very clean, you can see why it's won awards. Now for the only criticisms I can add, the food on average is quite spicy so if you don't like your spice then please ask in advance, however, if you're going for authentic Bombay Street food you must expect spice to be on the menu. Last but not least, the outside of the restaurant looks drab, dated, and the windows look quite dark. It's in a darkened corner of the town centre shadowed by the buildings around it and so you can't see too well inside if you were walking past the restaurant window and therefore it didn't look overly inviting, the decoration internally made up for it as that was all bright and warming. For that, I think it might do itself a disservice and may not grab as many customers in as it could. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed and would definitely come back to this place. It has all your Indian favourite dishes as well as some realistic Bombay street food dishes and flavours for all different taste buds. Lastly, my partner is vegetarian and usually struggles to want to go out for a lack of vegetarian variety and options on menus. This place had loads, about 50% of the menu was vegetarian. Please go support this place as we need more variety like this in Swindon, rather than your typical curry house.

Amazing Flavour But........ I ordered for myself a takeaway a lamb biriany , really tasty , good portion of lamb , but why so many cloves , a few I bit off , as anyone knows how off it could be . My other dish was Dall makkani , nice taste again, but quite alot oily, otherwise would be 5 star . Thank You Chef Mohit ur simply the Best.

it is so hard to ge a decent meal in swindon but this place is great, i have no idea what i'm ordering/eating but never had anything i did not enjoy,

The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. Alfred and Roy were friendly. Gave good service. I highly recommend the place.

Wow wow Lovely service not too much but enough to make you feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, Baileys Chai was so good or after! Highly recommend definately worth ordering and sharing was much more fun! Thank you 👌

By far the best Asian food we have ever had. The menu is varied with many dishes not seen in other Indian restaurants. The quality is excellent and portions are generous. We opted for a set meal for two people at £24 that included poppadoms, chutneys, onion bhajis, lamb rogan josh, black dal, rice and roti. Incredible value. This is a ‘no frills’ environment, appearing more cafe like than a restaurant but the atmosphere is great, probably because customers are enjoying the great food.

This restaurant has gone under the radar its not the usual curry house its a bit basic inside but don't let that put you off . We've had some lovely dishes from here on a few occasions. It's sensibly priced and well tasty Indian food. A lot of the menu I have never heard of so if you are looking for a korma or a tikka massala then you'll be disappointed. In summary very good

Absolutely gorgeous food really good value - lovely restaurant . Very authentic. My friend and I chose a few small dishes and their Dahl which was all really tasty

We often have lunch here, and have always loved the food. By far the best Mumbai Street Food we've eaten in the UK. Consistently high quality. Last time we were there on a Saturday evening we sat next to a couple of guys, originally from Mumbai, who'd driven nearly 50 miles from Salisbury after work, just to eat here! We decided to host a special birthday party lunch there on Saturday 5 August for 30 guests. Despite late arrivals due to torrential rain, other customers needing to be served and many of us (including overenergetic toddlers!) generally getting in the way, the staff were absolutely brilliant, utterly professional, calm and kind. The food orders, despite the size of the party, arrived promptly, was delicious as usual and the final bill surprisingly reasonable. Highly recommended. We'll be partying there again!

Amazing food, will be back to try more of the menu. Beautiful food, good service, lovely authentic bright place. Definitely top of our Swindon list for eating. Oh I forgot great value.

Wow! What a fabulous find. Authentic street food, well cooked and presented. We’ll be back. It was like being back in Mumbai.

It was a takeaway order This is my 1st 5 star review after some time, I spoke to Chef Mohit , prior to my order , Everything he mentioned on the phone , he delivered with brilliance & his team, from the curries, to bhaji's , samosa's , dall makani , tawa bread was very nice, can't fault any items , specially pleasing was portions were adequate for 2 people. If quality & portion size remain the same i will be ordering many many on a regular basis. THANK YOU

The BEST Indian restaurant in the town and comfortably the best in recent memory. I have tried basically every Indian in Swindon and the local surrounding areas and this is heads and shoulders clear. Don’t be intimidated by the menu not being standard…to be expected with street food I assume, though there are a few things you will recognise! The food is superb. Packed full of flavour, not shy of spice and some great homemade popadoms. Arrived 45 minutes after ordering to the house and has since become THE Indian to order from. Fantastic. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

If you haven’t tried this place….why not??? By far the best Indian food we have had. Order was correct, delivered ahead of when they said and the most important….delicious! Won’t go anywhere else now…..

Absolutely the best takeout curry we’ve had by far. Fresh, tasty and amazing for vegans! This is now our go to place. Thank you so much, food arrived quickly, and amazing value.

The KC has moved to the top end of Regent Street, Swindon - by the Town Hall. Its a bigger place, and nearer to other bars, the Mecca, the Wyvern Theatre and other going out places. Decor is simple, but you go for the food - tasty. Basic friendly and prompt service - ask for Vegan / other dietary options if required - they're very helpful (and the current Menu does not reflect these options). Great value for money. Looking forward to our next visit already or using the Take-Away service

Just had a fantastic mutton masala from this lovely little restaurant, the staff were polite, helpful, and friendly and the meal was amazing

You need to try this place. The menu is varied and fabulous. The service is spot on and the quality and taste of the food is outstanding. If you like curry, you'll love this little gem. A massive step up from your usual Bangladesh restaurants. And good value as well. Try it.

Went in to try it out, the food was nice but boy did I pay for it later.. The price was quite high so we went for a set menu item which worked out okay

We sometimes dine in and sometimes takeaway but are never disappointed! Vada pau and chicken lollipops are amazing, would also recommend the khadai lamb. Very reasonably priced too.

There is quite a lot of good competition nearby but Kutting Chai is superior to them all. Perhaps partly because the chef is the owner. The new location is a great improvement on the old cafe, a very pleasant place now. The food is consistently...

Odered from this place for samosa chaat and its mind blowing. Perfect and authentic indian taste No complaints

Delicious & original take on the Indian takeaway. Came across it by accident, but enjoyed our favourite takeaway in a long time. Great range of vegetarian & vegan options too

Gorgeous food ! Cannot recommend this place enough - tasty and authentic and amazing value and service we love this place

The litmus test for any good restaurant / takeaway is how consistent it is, and apart from its remaining consistent, has it improved, the Kutting chai ticks both boxes, when it opened the food was new adventurous and different, and today the food remains still...

Family takeaway dinner, my girls love this stuff. I made an error with the order and they were really helpful

Amazing food and excellent service. We ordered a takeaway and wanted some vegan options. They offered to do pretty much all of the vegetarian options as vegan which was perfect! Highly recommend the masala pappadums, house black dal, and the the fish fry.

Been twice now. Would recommend this place. Not in the most obvious location but worth seeking out if you love Indian food. The restaurant itself is very basic but don't be fooled. It serves great authentic Indian food that you do not find in other...

Really tasty food. Loved the Irani Chai and Vada Pav. The mains were good. Dessert was yummy. Reminded me of home. The only thing which stopped me from giving it 5 stars is the time it took to get served. I'm sure I will visit...

Always great, can never complain. Great service, quality food. Would highly recommend. Lunch or dinner

Delicious food, good varieties in the menu( Indian Snacks). We have been there couple of times. Very polite staff. The only thing is the song playlist it sets off the mood completely, they are old hindi songs, which i believe goes with the ambience but...

Visited with the family and friends. small and uninspiring surroundings but what great food. Friendly staff and a reasonable price. defiantly going back to enjoy some authentic food.

We have visited several times and not been disappointed. A cosy informal restaurant/cafe with a BYO bottle arrangement. The menu offers an interesting mix of street food that you don’t find in your typical Indian restaurant that is very good value for money and very...

A small cafe style street food. Been here before, but have to say they menu is amazing, not a typical 'Indian Restaurant', but Bombay street food. You really need to try it. Well priced and very tasty. BYO alcohol.

Parked nearby so popped in. Great welcome, sat by the takeaway section and enjoyed a fresh, very tasty snack. Deserves to do well. Will 100% return

probably could be good if the food service was slowed down a shade so that you could appreciate the taste instead of a rush

Have been here several times , great food and good value , small yes but great concept that will grow I’m sure , don’t knock people that are trying hard to do something unique support the independents. Highly recommend and will be back

Different I suppose, we had a taster Menu, would be expensive to buy from Menu, No Bar, only 5 tables not suitable for disabled

The Kutting Chai, this town need places like this, smack in the middle of town centre on the decline, a place like this will bring it up again, we want more small independent restaurants like the Kutting Chi to “pop up” in the town centre,...

Excellent, freshly cooked Streetfood from Southern India. All dishes were very well prepared and presented. A very good menu that took some time to choose from but help is at hand if needed. A thoroughly enjoyable meal in clean surroundings. I am sure we will...

Visited here for lunch twice now and both times the food has been excellent. Our server on both times was helpful explaining each dish and service was friendly & swift. Would especially recommend the Bombay Sev Puri & Chicken Tikka Khatti rolls. If you like...

Went for an Indian afternoon tea, very nice welcome, clean and tidy eating place, food not so good, everything tasted the same. But it was an experience.

Had heard about this small eatery 9 tables upstairs, through a groupon mailshot. Bought and booked through groupon site this was very easy. Saw no mention of alcohol on online menu so messaged and very quick reply came that we could bring our own [...
