Use this restraint regularly both for business meetings and for pleasure. Always friendly attentive staff and a nice atmosphere. Food always hot and fresh. On this occasion had a cheeky take out and it was lovely… they did forget my mango chutney though! Prices on the higher side for a restaurant but the quality and service makes it good value

This was my second visit to the restaurant and it was just as amazing as my first. The service is the best I have received and the food is such great quality and very tasty. It’s my favourite Indian restaurant and I will definitely be back to the restaurant again soon to experience more culinary delight! The take away service is also very good and I highly recommend :)

Always use Miah's for our Indian takeaways. The service is great and the food amazing. Dishes feel really individually cooked with care. Other places we felt like the dishes all tasted alike, but not here. The owner is lovely and we called to bring forward our collection time because we were out of the cinema early, and it was no trouble. So friendly ! We live near Bradfield Southend at junction 12 of M4, but it's a quick nip down one motorway junction and we are always home inside 20 minutes. Highly recommend.

I've eaten here four times before. Always had great service, nice food and an overall good time. This time, it wasn't like that. I was with my husband and our friend with her two daughters. The restaurant was surprisingly not very busy for a Saturday night when we arrived at 7pm. However, the guy behind the bar was taking take-away orders non-stop. We were seated and left alone (no menus). After 10 minutes, I went and asked for some menus and when they gave them to us, they asked if we'd like drinks and Poppadoms. 20 minutes after that no-one had even come close to us, so I went and asked about the poppadoms. They were finally delivered and we asked about our drinks order. That arrived ten minutes later (after we'd finished the poppadoms). By this point, it was 7:50pm and no-one had taken our main order. I had to go and ask again and at 8pm, our orders were taken. They apologised for the delay and said the poppadoms were on the house. We gave our main order and my husband (who is allergic to everything in the onion family) told them. As I said, we've eaten there plenty of times before and it's never been a problem before. This time there was a lot of unhappiness on their part and 'negotiations'. Finally we agreed our order. It arrived at 8:40pm, just as I was about to go and ask again. My food and our friends was lovely. As nice as always. My husbands food didn't look so appealing. To be honest, it looked like chicken thighs and vegetables in tomato soup. He didn't really enjoy it, but he was most unhappy to discover after eating about half of it that there were two slices of garlic and some onions in the dish. We called the waiter over to complain. He fetched someone (who told us he was the owner - although the waiter looked very sceptical when he described himself that way). The owner was not apologetic; he was rude, claimed they had not used garlic or onions, even though they were very evident in the food left and when my husband asked what those items were then, the owner accused him of lying and "putting them in ourselves". A pretty ridiculous suggestion.Our friend had already paid whilst this was going on. We weren't trying to cadge a free meal, we were upset that they'd ignored our dietary requirements.Without the owners behaviour, this would have been a 3 star review. We did wait a long time (although they were clearly short of staff and the take-away orders were occupying one guy completely). Our food was nice, even if my husband's wasn't what he'd ordered. Everyone restaurant has an off-day sometimes.However, to be shouted at by the owner and accused of lying is totally unacceptable. He made the youngest girl in our party cry because of his behaviour. So, they've lost our custom and probably that of our friends (who live local to the restaurant).

Having lived in Birmingham for many years and being spoilt for choice for Indian restaurants, the minute I visited miahs after I moved to the area, it just felt right. The gents serving welcomed us, and were tentative, they advised me of specials, introduced themselves and made me feel very welcome. I was served by "Ash" and he was engaging wihh conversation. It just reminded me of home in Birmingham and their service was second to none. I think I have just found my local curry house.Cheers guys

From the minute we got there the waiter who greeted us was rude and pushy. There was a long dark hair on the table as we sat. He asked our drink order then asked us what we would like to order for food before we had even been given a menu to look at. The starters arrived and were bland. The salad on the plates had clearly been left out for a while as the cucumber and tomato were dry. The yogurt dip is left in a plastic jug at the front! Thankfully we had an emergency and had to leave before we got our mains. We told him we needed to go and couldn't eat but still paid full price. Even though we expressed many times WE NEEDED TO LEAVE he rudely told us we had to wait to collect our food and take it with us to eat for dinner. He also forced me to take all the chocolates that came with the bill by abruptly telling me "take them all" when we didnt want any we just needed to get out of there. Will certainly not be returning here again.

I will start this review by saying the food was nice. The menu is slightly different and has a wide choice.The person that greeted us was a bit pushy to a point where I found him rude. The pickle tray that comes with the poppadoms was delicious and we devoured them. It was at the point our pickle tray was removed from the table and our used yoghurt dip was poured into a large plastic jug which was then being used for other customers that I stopped enjoying the meal. At the time we went, the cocktails on their menu were not being served, but it was only when one of our group went to ask for one we were advised of this. We were given a tray with what appeared to be sugar coated spices on (when we received our bill). Unfortunately, because of what we had witnessed with the yoghurt dip we were definitely not going to try something else that could have been someone else's leftovers.It was fine, but I'm not sure we will be back any time soon.

Me and my hubby had a recent visit to this place. It was our first time to this place and we were so pleased with the surrounding and arrangements. They had a good choice of menu and value for money. Even have takeaway so don't need to worry about leftover foods. Sizzling prawn was our starter followed by chicken biryani and chicken naga, which was amazing and service was quick didn't had to wait long. Have already decided to visit again for my birthday. Sure to recommend Miah's Spencers wood for my friend & family. This place is a little gem.

Following a recommendation from friends we booked a table for 6 people, 3 couples for 8pm. On arrival there was confusion over our booking, we were eventually seated on a table which was too small for 6 people, tucked in a corner. We waited at the table for 15 minutes to place our drinks orders, which took a further 15 minutes to get to us. 15-20 minutes later we were given some poppadoms which we hadn’t asked for, however at least this gave us something to eat whilst we waited for a waiter to take our food order which was over an hour after we arrived. The food eventually arrived at around 10pm, which from first dish being placed on the table took over 10 minutes for all our food to arrive. Some of the dishes were cold and we didn’t want to send it back as it took so long to arrive in the first place. The food was very bland and unimpressive even though it was rated spicy on the menu. Just as we had finished our food a very sweaty chef dressed in a tee shirt, came to our table and made a very poor attempt to apologise that the food took so long to come out. He made an excuse that there was poor communication in the kitchen which had led to the delays. We were not the last group to be seated but we were the last to get our food. We eventually managed to leave about 11:30pm after chasing the bill and having to go to the bar area to pay the bill as there were no waiting staff paying any attention to us at all, which was the case throughout night.

The first dish was Lamb Tikka Massala, the sauce was ok but the Lamb was so tough you could not eat it, the first bite had a piece of bone in it, yes, BONE, the rest of the so called meat was like trying to eat chunks of tough tasteless rubber, the other dish, Lamb Balti was just as bad, whatever you do, DO NOT order anything proporting to contain Lamb from the menu....dont say i didnt warn you !!!!!

My hubby and I were on our way to Southampton from Norfolk and were having the most horrible journey! An accident on the M11 and then a warning that the M3 was CLOSED! We were tired and very hungry and I decided to search on google maps for Indian restaurants near where we were. It came up with Miah's as one and I detoured us off the M4 following the map. What a godsend this place was! Such lovely people and the most delicious food. It was so fresh and so well cooked. The chef is obviously very talented even the Naan bread tasted different. So light and fresh. We were overwhelmed with the kindness the staff showed us, even as far as setting us on the right course for our onward journey. If we lived nearer (actually I still don't know where we were) we would eat there all the time. Thank you Miah's so very much. I'm so sorry I cannot remember the name of the gentleman who looked after us...

My brother and I come to Miah's so that we can enjoy good Indian Cuisine (he likes the old faithfuls, whereas I like the contemporary - Miah's provides both - yay!).I don't usually drink beer - but they serve wonderful kingfisher beer - love the glasses. The pickle tray with the pompadoms has a fascinating array of tasty accompaniments. The shish kebabs starter is brov' favourite. I chose the lamb shank - delicious spices (but not Hot spicy) - a fabulous dish. We also enjoyed the best tasting onion bahji - so crisp and not floury or fatty.We decided to go for a floater coffee and a brandy on the side (very 80's I know) - the best tasting coffee. the brandy however, was even more awesome -it had it's own stand and tealight to warm it. thanks for an amazing meal

Our 'local' should be Pangbourne but we have a real soft spot for the location in Spencer's Wood and the recently expanded venue (leaving a wonderfully spacious restaurant and boy it gets very very busy!) simply because of the lovely staff and relaxing atmosphere. A fine fair of traditional Indian cuisine, a recently revamped menus has taken away from some of the 'modern menu' leaving the choice favourites. Always fresh, my personal fav's being either a Chicken Pasanda or Chicken Naga, I've yet to have a wish I'd ordered my favourite moment. Always authentic, in my opinion anyway... you can always guarantee fantastic service from the staff they are so genuinely lovely.

I can't speak highly enough of out local Miah's, we have had both take always and eaten in the restaurant. The restaurant itself has been newly renovated and it's staff are very welcoming and friendly. We have never had a bad meal, always cooked to a high standard.I highly recommend this restaurant/takeaway.

We enjoyed our midweek dinner at Miah's, the restaurant was busy with a great atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and polite as they always are. The food was lovely with generous portions and an excellent choice of poppadom condiments!!We look forward to our next visit!

We booked a table for 7pm and managed to arrive 10 minutes early. We entered the restaurant there were people waiting for takeaway meals the guy on the desk was on the phone and there didn't seem to be anyone available to show us to our table. A waiter walked past us and looked straight through us! He came back again so I approached him to tell him about our booking He didn't understand a word I was saying! Then I re explained to another waiter who also didn't understand what I was saying. I had to break it down in very plain English that we need to sit at a table! Popadoms were brought to our table but I had to ask another waiter to take our drinks order. Our drinks arrived after 10 minutes but we weren't given menus to look at!!! It was like we were invisible So we decided we'll pay for our drinks and leave. As we were doing so a more senior waiter stopped us and said he will look after us So we went back to our table. When the food arrived I wasn't impressed! My vegetable curry was very spicey (I asked for mild) and my takka dahl tasted discussing! My husbands chicken madras was disappointing too. We just wanted to get out of the place after such a bad experience. I asked for the bill 6 times but never got it so I went to the front desk to pay. I could over hear someone else complaining at the desk. All in all extremely poor service The food was nothing to write home about and definitely will not be returning!

what a lovely surprising find. The staff was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and authentic. Some traditional dishes, but with a special quality, my relative said typical for South India, where she'd been. I asked them to make it really spicy, which they didn't. But I forgave them as the food was so tasty, it was really really nice. I am trying to come up with an excuse to go there again as the food was so good and the atmosphere was nice and the staff friendly.

Went to Miahs for the first time after it's refurbishment.It looks very nice inside and I believe has been extended. There are lots of tables and I think they need to do some marketing to get more people in, otherwise it's always going to seem half empty.The food was reasonably good, although always a little unsure when I see bright red sauces. You would not get that in India. Cocktail parasols placed as decoration in the top of the dishes was 'naff'. New menu was an improvement on previous menu.The brothers that run the place are good, but there were other staff (I think Eastern European) who were poor and their understanding and vocabulary of English wasn't good.Would return, but it needs a few 'tweaks'.

Recommended by family members, had to try it out and wasn't disappointed if anything could have been better, a warm welcome, with a wonderful service and a bountiful of exceptional flavoursome food. Thank you will definitely go again and again.

Been meaning to try Miahs for ages and tonight ordered a take away. Quite disappointed. Ordered jumbo king prawn rogan the prawns were not the size we get from other Indian restaurants - very small and not many in the curry had to search in the sauce for them. The Lamb dish was really chewy and the chicken korma had a lot of sauce hiding the chicken pieces. Rice was nice and the poppadoms and sauces lovely. Also liked the bhajis but the nan was stone cold. Overall a let down.

Went in here after a booking problem with another restaurant. Best curry we have ever eaten! My garlic mushroom starter was absolutely amazing! My partner absolutely raved about his lamb shank for the main course. Reasonably priced. Attentive staff. Delicious food. What more could you ask for?! We've left very full and with a take away menu in hand ready for another day!! Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Since my last visit the establishment has undergone some refurbishment. The surroundings are very tasteful and naturally aligned to the cuisine served. I was in a party of four, all work friends with one guest from Germany who requested an Indian meal.Service was A*, food was also out of this world served hot, fresh and expertly presented. None of us could finish the dishes, the portions were very generous. I recommend this quiet restaurant. I think you need to try it to understand just how good it really is. (I recommend the Lucknowi!)

Asistí a una cena aquí, alrededor de 150 comensales, una pequeña barandilla de abrigo como guardarropa, pero el personal parecía amable, la sala principal estaba bien distribuida y los entrantes llegaron rápidamente, aunque el plato principal se mantuvo, así que teníamos verduras y papas en la mesa enfriándose mientras esperaban a que el cordero saliera de la cocina, peor aún eran las comidas vegetarianas, el entrante era una sopa de tomate con poppadoms, y el principal era un risotto de setas realmente malo. . . tan buen lugar, pero no la comida perfecta

Ever since I visited this place with a friend who introduced it as "authentic Indian food with a home-like feel" a few years ago, I've been taking all of my friends there almost as an ambassador, but when I went this year, the food wasn't the same as before... It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very tasty either. It was a shame because I felt like it wasn't worth the price.

Been here many a times and they are better than other Inidn takeaways. Reasonably priced too. Their house special briyani is my favourite
