Lal Bagh Restaurant in Herefordshire, County of

We never fail to have an amazing meal here. It's always delicious, the staff are really attentive, and we always leave happy with full bellies! The best Indian in Lichfield!

Booked a table for 18:00, when we arrived we said we'd booked, waiter tutted as though 'I bet' you've booked. Food was excellent, but your always made to feel as though you should be eating faster, people coming in asking for a table, not booked, but cramming customers in. We decided to have a sweet, before even finishing our bill in it's plastic container was flung on our table, I managed to speak to the manager, he agreed with me it was damn rude. Food lovely, service disgusting.

The food was bland and entirely forgettable, offering nothing to justify the visit. The service was equally uninspiring, leaving much to be desired. Overall, the experience was thoroughly mediocre, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. There are far better options available.

Food was ok ish Service was not great… Every time they pushed the cart past we had to move in it was a joke they put to many seats in so shoe horned in… We had ordered a drink just as they served us food we finished food and just had a couple of sips of our beers and was told we need to move as they had someone for the table… I was shocked but they said we could sit at the front in the waiting area When we got there it was full not a single seat available and 5 people standing We just left our drinks as no where to go Lichfield has loads of fantastic restaurants Take our advice choose another

Lovely food, amazing portions, staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough and great value for money Will definitely be back :)

Come here for a work Christmas party on a Wednesday evening in December. The service was great the seating area was good and the food was superb. Definitely recommend!

We were squashed in, really. But the food was amazing. We had a fabulous night.

Great food and lovely service. Even though it was a really busy Saturday night, the staff were fast, polite and helpful.

Once more another majestic meal here.We love coming here from Cumbria.Service is always 1st class, food is served so pretty and taste matches every dish.Had a stuffed mushroom this time in crispy batter for starter, lovely filling and crispy like a scotch egg.Main was a chicken sagg with extra heat and delivered on all boxes. peshwari naans are just lush.Imran always looks after us when we are here , makes it all a pleasant experience.

Reasonable Chicken Madras for me, saag aloo was nice, but my wife's choice from the chef's recommendations (Chicken Banarosh) was not good at all - fairly tastless chicken in a fairly tasteless sauce. All dishes heated up on a mobile burner at our table, including the one already plated, before serving which I've never experienced before. Was overcharged by £10 when paying, but to be fair this was refunded when I pointed put the error. Staff polite and the restaurant was very clean. Maybe just an off night as have never eaten there before.

Great food and amazing service, very well priced. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back very soon!!!!!!!

Excellent Indian restaurant. As good as the best in any major city. But in a lovely spot on a sweet little village. A small bar with beers on tap, cosy restaurant in an old pub-style building.

The best Indian in Herefordshire, my favourite place to go. My favourite restaurant to go to for a lovely Indian. Definitely come here if you are coming to Weobley!

Possibly one of the best Indian meals I've had in a restaurant. Tender lamb and chicken with delicate spicing that allowed all the flavours to shine. Fast and friendly service even though it was crowded on a Friday night.

We ordered a takeaway at 6.05 and were advised to come in 40 minutes, the food wasn’t handed over until after 7.30 - 45 minutes late and the service in the restaurant was poor and either under staffed or unable to deal with the number of covers. We’ve been using this restaurant for 8 years but no more. Shocking experience and no there were coming back with food missing!

Came here last Saturday for my birthday meal.. with the family absolutely brilliant it was... Ordered lamb bhuna and butter chicken... Naan was amazing.. The service was brilliant and the manager came to wish me happy birthday.... Best restaurant in Lichfield... Please visit

Absolutely fabulous food, drink and service. The best Indian food with no exception. Building is amazing with original features

We had a wonderful meal here on a rainy Thursday evening. The food was absolutely incredible, full of flavour, taste and a real joy for the taste buds. The menu was vast with lots of different meal options in addition to the curry classics. We had very prompt and attentive service from all the team at the restaurant. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and was busy, which is always good. We will absolutely be going back for more very very soon!!!

Our first visit to Lal Bagh did not disappoint that’s for sure !!! Staff so lovely and welcoming, Tracey was a true gem! The extensive menu was terrific everything was absolutely delicious 5* from us ! Thank you 🙏

I'd like to call myself a regular now as I have been returning to this restaurant for over 8 years now! I've NEVER had a disappointing time, meal or experience! The staff are amazing, attentive and appear just at the right time when you need them. A special mention to Tracey tonight as she went above and beyond to be the perfect hostess! Thankyou Tracey! This restaurant is definitely THE place to go for a curry in Herefordshire.

Went after reading such good reviews on trip advisor but don’t be fooled. I decided to leave an honest review…… We arrived to a cramped table, it was so loud and not even busy really. Starters came and were totally tasteless, was so hungry decided to just eat them, the onion Bhaji texture was nice and that was all the positive I can say, didn’t taste of anything, neither did the mixed starter. Then before I could even put my fork down my plate was taken from me as I was asked had I finished……. Main came, sauce was nice but chicken meat awful. Not like chicken tikka at all, like precooked tasteless meat and the naan was like one from a packet as dried up over the heated tea light stand. We decided what was the point in saying anything and left. I’ve had a bad stomach all night now too. Total waste of time and money, avoid!

One of the best indian meals i've ever had. I imagine, like with everything there are strenghts, but the staff clearly care about providing a good service and the food I selected was delicious.

Food and service was really good, would recommend. Went on a Tuesday night and had the Taster Menu offer which was really good value.

Taster menu £14.95 for three courses. Excellent food with extensive menu choices. Good ambiance and good service in a lovely black-and-white village.

Great food, great service. Highly recommended. Probably the best aisian food I have eaten. A total gem we will return very soon.

Excellent food and staff. Great service and nice atmosphere. Would definitely come here again. Recommend highly. Clean and efficient

First time eating here. It was a great evening. Food was wonderful but we just couldn't eat all the main course as the starter was huge. Note to self... bypass the starter next time. We definitely recommend.

Take away! Food really good other than onion bhaji! Very poor

Went here for my brother in law's birthday for balti night food was fantastic as always except brought out the wrong curry for myself. the waiter who took our order was very rude. Basically threw the dessert on the table, spoke to me rudely taking our order. Other staff were absolutely fine. Also long time waiting for starters and even forgot to bring the table out next to us. They weren't even busy and service was terrible tonight

Really disappointed with food and service. Remnants of food on side plate, food was oily and husband was really ill after having a prawn dish, worst Indian meal I have tried in the area.

Good food, busy little restaurant. Slow service. Would return perhaps hopefully get a quieter night

We were motivated by the tripadvisor review. We couldn't eat because the poor service made us run. And the manager asks us if we can't pay for the food. Very unpleasant

This is reliably the best Indian Restaurant in Lichfield. Food is excellent - so tasty, well presented and generous portions. The Sunday Balti night and Wednesday banquet deals are really good value. I'm looking forward to my next visit! 😋

Brilliant food and service, better than Eastern Eye. Will be booking again.

Lovely customer service it's the first time I've been here and really enjoyed the delicious food and friendly atmosphere

Having visited several times previously, Lahl Bagh didn’t disappoint and provided amazing food and service for a booking for 12 ladies on a busy Friday night, all food came out at the same time and tasted amazing! We find they are always polite, attentive and with such a choice in the menu, there is something for any taste and we are very happy this is our local!

Fantastic food and generous portions. I would highly recommend visiting this business. The lamb dishes were especially worthwhile.

Excellent quality food. Great portion sizes. Balti and peshawari naan were delicious. Team were fantastic throughout.

Had some Amazing food and with great service. Really enjoyed our evening. Will be going again. Couldn’t fault it. Thanks very much.

I absolutely love eating here. The food is always delicious and the staff are attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant as always! Best Indian restaurant around. Monday and Tuesday taster menu is always a great deal and brilliant quality.

This is by far the best indian restaurant for miles , I live in Tamworth where we have alot of restaurants & we have eaten in all of them at some point ,some of them are very good but not as good as lal bagh , the food is excellent the staff are lovely the restaurant is very clean , its totally worth travelling the 9 miles for this experience .would highly recommend xx Unfortunately I have changed my ☆'s on this review. We haven't visited lal bagh for a couple of years & my god what a change. The staff apart from a couple were almost rude & not welcoming at all. The curry's were probably the worst any of us have had full of oil. The starters were ok. 5 poppadoms £10 😳 the sauces had bits in them as though they'd been used before & not fresh. After we payed for our meal we decided we'd like another drink. Asked if we could & much to the waiters dismay bought us another drink followed by the bill & stood over us till we payed. Definitely WONT be going there again. They have gone from being my all time favourite Indian to my least favourite

There really is nothing to say, the food and service were second to none Ali and Imran were lovely and attentive, Thank-you Roger and Brrnda

Friendly services and amazing food Would recommend to all my friends and family . Food arrived quickly . Recommend the Passanda . Happy to provide extra dips with the poppadums.

Our favourite Indian restaurant, friendly staff and fantastic food. Consistently good every time we come over the years.

One and half hours after arriving our meal order was taken and a further hour before it was served. We visited this restaurant on Saturday (02/03/24). A reservation, for 14 of us, had been made sometime in advance. We arrived on time and in one group. We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and all bar one had travelled up to 5 hours to get there. We were greeted warmly, shown to our table and shortly afterwards menus were brought to us. Within a few minutes, a drinks order was taken and served. We were then informed that meal orders would be taken in 10 minutes. It was one and half hours to take the order. During this wait, no explanation was given. The restaurant also offered a takeaway option and we were aware of a number of people waiting for their take-away meals and overheard one person stating that they had waited for an hour. The quality of the meal, when served, two and a half hours later, was fine.to politely and calmly, to what appeared to be the senior waiter our disappointment at the waiting period. We asked what recompense they thought could be offered. This led to the waiter repeating, for 15 minutes or so, a mantra of 'we are sorry, we cook everything from fresh'. My experience and that of my friends is that restaurants that we visit do cook things from fresh ingredients, but we hadn't ever had to wait for 2.5 hours. The apology itself was so well rehearsed it suggested not only that this was a frequent occurrence but also delivered with the same sincerity as that of a 7-year old child being told off for the umpteenth time for picking their nose. We were then told informed that the manager wasn't on site, and lived many miles away, was given a telephone number of the restaurant, but they couldn't say when he might visit. Insultingly, they offered a single free drink to one person. Additionally, they suggested that if we didn't like it we could have just left. We informed the waiter that we would pay, dividing the bill between ourselves. We paid and he then said we were £40 short and instructed his colleague to 'lock the door'. We recalculated our payments demonstrating that we were correct. He checked his calculations and told us to go, again without an apology for his incorrect totalling of our payments. At one pint he said to us that there were only two people in the kitchen. I understand the need for business's to maximise their turnover, but when they start to take more orders than they can cope with there should be a point where they say no or inform their customers of abnormal and unacceptable delays. In the above circumstance it is usual, in my experience in customer service, for a business to make a sincere apology, in recognition of their customer's poor experience and offer a recompense, rather than an attitude of 'take it or leave it'.

After reading the reviews I decided to book this for my wife's birthday. How wrong was I . The most tasteless meal we'd had in ages, we complained but was answered with a sarcastic answer .My dish was full of duck skin no Meat and seemed to have been boiled rather than fried then just added to the flavourless sauce and served almost cold .My wife and daughter couldn't eat their meals and left well over half ,rice cold too .Will not be returning , be warned as no discount is offered when you inform the staff. We just paid and couldn't wait to leave.

Usually our favourite but won’t be going back for a while. Ordered our food at half 7 didn’t come home till 10:30. Food was cold. Poor time management. Under staffed. Food was incomplete, missed 3 things off our order. Found chicken bones in my Bombay Palak and chicken was way over cooked. Won’t be going back!!!

Arrived for our meal. Restaurant was cold, so not a good start. Order taken, arrived within a reasonable time. Curry was just awful, bland and gloopy. The meat was tough, peshawari naan's arrived half way through our meal. Everything was rushed and forgotten. We left half of our meals then complained about our meal and the waiter asked why we didn't complain earlier. "because we couldn't get your attention, because of how busy you were" 🙄. He then proceeded to argue the fact that duck is fatty say and where did we get our duck from? Never again!! rude, bland and awful service along with a cold dining area.

Fabulous evening Our first time at this restaurant but will definitely not be our last Amazing food Amazing staff Manager was very friendly as was all the staff

Love the food, great atmosphere and super friendly. Its our local restaurant, so will keep coming back. Can’t recommend it enough, love it👍

Too much food! Great service and really friendly people. Thank you. I need to write more characters but didn’t want to add anything further.

highly recommended Lal bagh. I tried some of different Indian cuisine in Lichfield. Among of them lal bagh is best for them food quality. For Biryani Lover i will recommend The Chicken Tikka Biryani. Taste and Flavour is just amazing.

Staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our evening a special one. The waitresses were very approachable and helpful with the menu. The waiters were all super friendly!

Lovely food… great staff. Staff are very attentive. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back again… lovely atmosphere

Great food. Fab service. Only ever done takeaway here but last night I dined with a girlfriend and it was so fab! I knew the food was good but the place was super warm and everyone was very friendly. Only down side is the chairs...

Fantastic food, excellent service, the portions are generous and beautifully presented, plenty of choice at honest and affordable prices, definitely recommend, especially worth trying the Taster Menu at the beginning of the week

Excellent food and service, as always. We all had different dishes and everyone agreed it was delicious. HIghly recommend this Indian restaurant.

I’ve ordered from this restaurant 5 or 6 times in the past couple of years. Always excellent food. Some of the best takeaway curry I’ve ever had. There never forgotten any item when delivering. Prices are very reasonable too. Top notch!

Lovely food. Normally have a take away but tonight was the first time we've sat in and it's so much nicer having it fresh. Service was brilliant

Good services and friendly people, the food I couldn't complain, very tasty as always, imran was very friendly and helpful, can’t fault him.

Went to lal bagh on the 14th Feb 2024 for valentines day The food was out of this world as it always is. Imran served us and he couldn't do anymore for us, the rest of the staff also did a brilliant job. Will definitely...

Great food and service , Tuesday night Taster Menu very good value. Friendly atmosphere , we have been several times now and always a good evening.

We have used the restaurant before for takeaways and the food we have had has always been excellent but our experience last night was awful! We arrived just before 7 having booked a table and left at 8.45 without having received our main course. We...

Very pleasant staff and much better good than we expected. A good mix of standard and unusual foods.Would really recommend this restaurant.

Myself and husband love this restaurant, food is always 👌. This is the BEST Indian restaurant in Herefordshire, if you haven't visited make it a to do in 2024 you will not disappointed. Just simply the best. Staff are amazing, polite and very efficient. Well...

Excellent choice of dishes, delicious food, and fast, friendly service. The restaurant is in a wonderful old characterful building too.

Great food every time, be it in the restaurant or takeaway

Tracey was really welcoming and all staff were friendly, lovely food and would recommend this Indian to anyone it’s wonderful

We LOVE the Lal Bagh. It’s the best Indian cuisine we’ve EVER eaten….and we’ve tried a lot of restaurants all over the UK and the US. We come here every time we visit from the States, which probably makes us the longest-distance “regulars.”

Nice food had the Chicken Balti served in an authentic bowl. Decent service would recommend.

Ate here for the first time 18/12, definitely won’t be the last time, plentiful choice on the menu, portion size huge (well for me it was). The flavours were spot on, really could not fault.Just the right amount of attention. Explained exactly what was in my dish as I have a nut allergy, this gave me reassurance as even still eateries are vague at food content. Well done guys, keep doing what you’re doing!

Sometimes, this place could be a 5* all over. On its day, it's outstanding. However, they let themselves down at times. That being said if I was put and about and someone suggested the lal bagh for food I wouldn't object.

Wonderful food, excellent, friendly staff. Highly recommended

This place is amazing. The service we received was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Superb Indian restaurant in Lichfield. Great food and service. Recommended.

Absolutely awful we have tired these 2 times the first time we waited 1h30 and the food was freezing they refused to do anything, second time we waited 2h10 they kept hanging the phone down, and the food was again freezing, i would completely avoid.

My experience here was absolutely beautiful the guys here thank you very much the food is absolutely delicious you may have a wait but it’s worth the wait because it speaks for its self the food and the atmosphere is absolutely amazing there this is...

An excellent meal .V quick service.. A very varied menu. And lovely flavours . Only spoiled by having to wear jumpers/body warmers, not much fun

Food was nice service was great. I don’t usually write 5 star reviews but this place was so amazing I think it was necessary too. We went as a family and were seated right away. As soon as we stepped in to the main area...

amazing food, extremely authentic and a large range of food on the menu, I loved the korma and onion bhaji, the staff were lovely as well. Although the place was packed and somewhat hard to move around, the service didn't suffer at all, our food came out so quickly and we couldn't get enough of it .

Visited for the 1st time yesterday. Myself and the family are very experienced customers of these kinda places. Honestly; the place was fantastic. We had loads of different dishes, breads, rice, starters, they were all exceptional. The service was spot in and atmosphere couldn't have been better. Finding this place was on the back of a recommendation, and we also recommend it to you. Excellent.

Brilliant curry !!!!! Super tasty lovely spot

Top quality Indian food. The best curry I've had out in a long time. Really great flavour and not swimming in ghee, like a lot of Indian food can be. We had a prawn vindaloo and a chicken dish which was a chefs special. Both were top notch. Was very busy when we came but the fitted us in promptly. The service was friendly and excellent. Will definitely come back. Really looking forward to my next visit.

If you like the very best in quality Indian food,you need to come here. I've been eating indian food all over the world for over 35 years and this is truly one of the best,we come here sometimes at least once a week and the...
