Mattancherry in Down

I was taken here on recommendation and I must say I was very impressed. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the beer.. it was all top notch. The starters were best Indian starters I’ve ever had and I mean that, it was delicious. Mains were beautiful, the lamb was actual meat for a change and fell apart in your mouth. Staff were very attentive and regularly topped up your water if needed. I wish this was in my home town. Credit where it’s due. Keep up the good work.

Dinner in Taunton - lovely meal with my husband. As someone born and bred in Leicester I have high standards when it comes to Indian food and am often disappointed - but not on this occasion. Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Great service. Would thoroughly recommend.

Unbelievably great tasting food, good service, and a fantastic welcoming atmosphere, can’t recommend highly enough

Yummy food, Great Ambience, Wonderful Service😊❤️✌🏻 Been there on weekend and was really happy with way we were received and the whole experience was excellent 😊✌🏻 Would be going again with my family✌🏻

Amazing service, great food and very friendly staff. Everyone made us feel very welcome and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious. Wonderful starters and mains for vegetarians and meat lovers. Better than any I have been to in London. Fabulous.

Returned to Mattancherry restaurant with friends for a lovely meal with my family recently. The food was again superb, the wine was perfect and the staff were amazing. Their team members are so attentive and professional that they make a classy meal . They were very accommodating for my brother's nut allergy and also had plenty of options for my vegan friend. Highly recommended

Really lovely atmosphere and staff were so kind and helpful!!The food was also delicious and arrived quite quickly too!!

I have been to Mattancherry Restaurant few times. I personally felt the Authenticity and quality in food consistently.

Aww this is such a beautiful restaurant I have c C ever tattered delicious food. No compromise for hospitality. Amazing experience we had a s a family.

An unparalleled culinary adventure: impeccable service, innovative dishes, and a truly unforgettable dining experience⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing Keralan restaurant in Taunton. Really enjoyed the Kizhi Parotta (recommended if you fancy something interesting and really tasty), and also really good more general Indian classics like butter chicken. Also really friendly staff - definitely try this place!

Friendly staff, delicious food. Love to come here as often as we can, and bringing family with us is always a good idea! Thank you for another lovely visit.

The food, service and ambience were exceptional and made a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We’ll be back for the tasting menu next month!

This is the second time we’ve visited with our friends and on both occasions we were blown away by the food as well as the friendliness of the staff. I’m a vegan and they specifically adapted the items I wanted. All the dishes were presented beautifully and tasted divine. We’ll go back, again and again.

My husband and I have eaten here on several occasions and this wonderful restaurant continues to delight us! Without exception, every meal we have had here has been absolutely exquisite, from the starters to the desserts! This really is the best Indian restaurant we have been to; the food is delicious and quite unique. The staff are so pleasant and welcoming; nothing is too much trouble. They offer great advice about accompaniments as well as interesting insights as to the specialities offered. In sum, this is a wonderful restaurant - fantastic food and fabulous service.

Amazing curry, great service from happy and friendly staff! We’ll be back soon! If you fancy something different just ask you waiter, they are full of knowledge and useful information to make your meal experience one to remember.

Thank you for another fantastic evening all round. The service was amazing, we were so well looked after for my Dad's 70th birthday celebration. The food was absolutely delicious, wonderful varied keralan curries and we even managed chocomosas and delightfully refreshing mango desserts. My Dad doesn't live locally and will only choose Mattancherry as THE place to have a meal out when they visit us!

Really enjoy coming here! Great welcome and music. Recommend Erachichor ( beef biriyani) and fish curry. Great sauces and memories of my Grandmother's feasts.

We had the railway lamb curry, grandma’s chicken curry, raw mango veg side (my favourite overall), saag paneer, pilau rice and masala dosa. Accompanied with beautiful complimentary coconut sambol. All absolutely stunning and flavourful, we stuffed our faces (and weren’t even left with the usual...

Taunton has several good Indian restaurants, and Mattancherry is definitely one of them! Masala dosa and lamb curry with saag paneer side was delicious. We will be back !

Really tasty Butter Chicken, Pork dish and dosa. Tried the Bombay chaat which was really different and really tasty.

Three consecutive nights at this restaurant….. lamb, chicken and beef each by staff recommendation all of which were terrific. Staff and management are very friendly, accommodating and informative. The restaurant is of a modern style - airy, spacious and comfortable. 3 nights on the trot...

Real delicious food I must say that I am not an expert on Indian cuisine, so I'm delighted we chose this restaurant on the advice of a local friend. Every single mouthful of the lovely tasting menu we had was a revelation to us. Excellent...

What a shame. We ordered take away this evening for my birthday meal and were very disappointed. The flavours were certainly there - all our dishes had distinct spicing and were tasty, but sadly there was a lot to be disappointed with. I sent a...

We had guests over and decided to order a curry. IT WAS THE WORST INDIAN we have ever eaten. Bear in mind that were 7 of us, so a lot to get wrong. Firstly the prawn korma was a thin soup like mixture containing 5...

Really tasty dishes. Portion size was good. Rice was enough for two people. Would come back again when next in Taunton.

Delicious authentic South Indian food. Friendly service . We really enjoyed our dinner here when we stopped off in Taunton

Absolutely disgusting food, shame i have to give 1 star, as i wouldnt rate it a 0. Both mains, pork belly and chicken korma not edible. Korma was pretty much like a watered down soup, tasted like leeks, one mouthful had and thrown away. Pork...

It was busy when we arrived for dinner, having booked a table for 8.00 pm on a Friday evening. Service was excellent, friendly, helpful and swift. Interior design of the restaurant was very tasteful and elegant. The food was not run of the mill Indian,...

First of all, the food is really great - very authentic and delicious flavours - but this isn’t all. There is a super atmosphere, which isn’t either too stuffy or too noisy. The service is lovely and the cocktails are brilliant. I’ll be back!

Visited this restaurant for a family birthday meal. It looked quite busy as we entered. Sadly our table was tucked away in corner upstairs. Service wasn't the best, quite a miserable waiter. Wasn't impressed with the menu...nothing you normally see in an Indian restaurant so...

We were a party of 7 who dined here on a busy Saturday night, the service was incredibly slow (over 2 hours for the main) The music was loud and the acoustics upstairs made it impossible to have a conversation. We remember this restaurant when...

This was at one point the best Indian in Taunton if not the South West, we have in the past when it was Mint and Mustard had some fabulous meals here, lovely ambience and super quick service. This was our first time under there new...

Visited on a recent night out, after looking forward to coming here for some time, felt the waiting staff were rather pushy and continually up-selling, which made me feel uncomfortable. Music was quite loud which I found distracting and the overall ambience was rather dated....

Was lucky enough to be taken here by colleagues for my work leaving do, hope we weren't too roudy! Superb food yet again, really can't imagine us going anywhere else for curry locally when the service and standards here are so high. Railway lamb curry...

Hands down one of the best Indians about. Roast beef curry is on another planet. Peshwari naan probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Service with a smile… BOSH.

Thank you Mattancherry for a wonderful dining experience, this evening. We thoroughly enjoyed your varied menu and had difficulty in choosing from delicious sounding meals. The biryanis, both vegetable and chicken were so tasty, fragrant and mildly spiced. Spicy beef was not too hot and...

Great food. Great service. Original. Really exciting menu, great service and overall a brilliant experience and I'd really recommend this place to anybody.

Despite starting as one of the most trusted and high-quality Indian takeaways in Taunton, Mattancherry has given us one too many poor experiencing recently, causing us to look elsewhere. As a family with allergies, we have relied on Mattancherry previously to deliver what we ordered...

The most comments we got about our wedding was about the food and this was despite an amazing venue! With myself being South Indian and my husband British/Irish we wanted a menu that would truly represent this cuisine but also be enjoyable to the masses....

Superb Indian restaurant. Couldn't fault anything. Exceptional, well run restaurant with very friendly and attentive staff. All courses very enjoyable and the ice cream is something else. This was a birthday treat for my wife. Her comment at the end was, we arrived as customers...

Same staff, same food, new name.. We had a lovely meal served by equally lovely people. This little restaurant is full of ambience and atmosphere and always seems to be busy whenever we drive past. They were incredibly forward thinking during the Covid period when...
