Oh!India Restaurant in Stoke-on-Trent

Everyone's going to Banarasi in Newcastle!! They've only been going about six months and now have over 2,000 Google Reviews - unbelievable - virtually ALL of them 5 star!!

Booked a table for last night 4 days ago, it was a late valentines meal for my fianceand me, we arrived on time to be greeted by no one at the front of house. I had to go to the bar to find somebody. At that point my Fiancé and I were ushered to a seating area where the takeaway delivery drivers were sat. Half an hour passed with not even a could we get you a drink or an apology for the wait even though we had booked in advance. Takeaways came and went and we felt like we were non existence. We were both extremely annoyed by the neglect of staff and were not very pleasant in any form of communication. I went outside phoned Monsoon Fine Dining and they were able to squeeze us in even though they were fully booked. A quick exit from the place, 10 minutes later we were greeted and seated with a drink. The food came promptly and was delicious. Avoid going to oh India if you want to actually have a meal, takeaways seem to be the priority. Although by the service and standards offered we will always give it a miss as I can't see it being too edible.

A Masterclass in How Not to Run a Restaurant Wow. What an experience. If I ever needed a crash course in patience, this would be it. Arrived at 6:20, full of excitement. By 6:40, we had poddadoms—progress, I thought! Foolish of me. The real endurance test began after that. A casual 55-minute wait for the starter, followed by another 45-minute interval before the grand arrival of the main course at 8:20. Sadly, the only thing colder than the food was my enthusiasm by that point. I’d love to say the atmosphere made up for it, but unless you enjoy shouting over a football stadium disguised as a private party, then perhaps bring some noise-canceling headphones. Oh, and the cherry on top? Watching delivery after delivery zoom out of the kitchen while we sat there wondering if we’d mistakenly signed up for an overnight fasting experience. If I ever come back, it’ll be too soon. But hey, at least now I know what a three-hour dining saga feels like.

Was really disappointed with service booked a table for a special birthday. The service was shocking waited for food over 2 hours kids were hungry and all they seemed to concentrate on was deliveries . Will never go there again absolutely shocking behaviour from the staff. The toilets were very unhygienic no towels just stunk of urine. Shocking absolutely disgusting .

We had a takeaway from the restaurant. Very first time. Butter chicken is to die for. Methi was also absolutely delicious. Onion bhajis and egg fried rice also amazing. Well it's definitely our go to curry takeaway from now on. Chefs, you really know authentic Indian cuisine. Thank you

Great curry at great prices.. you can customise the curry which is a real plus . You'll struggle to beat this place... Just make sure when you order online you customise your curry for the full oh India experience... Allergies? No problem you get to put those in as well! Sometimes it's very busy and can take longer to get the food but it's worth it.

Great food Friendly staff Good value

Incredibly slow service and very rude, impolite staff (especially the manager)

Very poor care of making and packing.. received two times food with hair .. in chicken fried rice.. butter nan

Excellent service and very delicious food we had a good day. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Had a beautiful meal, service was excellent and definitely go again 😁😁

Really some amazing food for the value. Authentic Indian style cooking. Great value for money. The only drawback is the waiting for the food. Service takes a lot of time than expected.

Awful food big party of 20 all ordered different curries all the curries was the same color and same flavor no spice lamb was inedible won't be returning

Ordered takeaway absolutely amazing hot food,Best indian ive had really great,People get ordering 5/5

Really disappointed tonight came for a family meal. eaten at the restaurant previously. Service extremely slow , no hand towels or working dryer in the toilets, no cutlery on the table between courses . Informed the manager regarding toilets nothing was replenished . Waited a long time for cutlery food going cold . Took 1 hour 30 mins for starters to arrive . Food is really nice when it arrives. Had to ask for drinks and condiments and sauces . Very slow came in specifically for early bird offer and to eat early mains didn't come till past 8pm . Unfortunately has put me off eating here now .

This was our first order from this restaurant. Food was delicious, still hot and full of flavour..good portions and excellent value for money. Even had £5 off on first order. Will be making this our regular Indian restaurant.

The best Indian takeout I’ve had

Food is always good. We usually go for a curry before the mid week football. And they usually get a move on so that there is no rush. But on my most recent visit they were understaffed, prioritised the takeaways and we were about an hour before we got our food. So, service, on that day, not good. But we'll go back, at least once more.

Awful service as we had to wait 35 minutes for drinks, Also our main courses took 1hour and 30 minutes to come to our table. Even after all this there’s still a 10% service charge. I do not recommend at all due to the awful service and the food not tasting worth the time wasted waiting for food.

Always good food, always present atmosphere and service brilliant as always, keep it up guys.

Very disappointed, service was really bad. Had to go up to order drinks and food as we were in a big group. But still put the 10% service charge on are bill. Waited nearly 2 hours for main courses, for them come out cold and very salty. Even the garlic nan bread had garlic salt over it. Sent it back and then with in 5 minutes a new dish came out. We didn't won't it because how long we waited the first time and then for that one come out so fast. They did give us a refund for the mains. We will never go there again.

Booked meal on their website with a scheduled collection time. It wasn't ready until 20 mins after scheduled time. Hence 3 stars for service. We are vegetarian and the two curry's we had (bunha & dupyarza) had many types of veg and tasted delicious. Oh India is definitely our goto for Indian takeaway.

Takeaway: Balti & Rogan Josh meals, abit like baby food, blended down and 6 pieces of meat. Didn't even taste like a balti and no vegetables to see. Lacking of taste and ordered medium hot but like no taste.

A busy place! Food would have been a 5 except the onion bhaji’s weren’t that good… although they weren’t terrible either… the mains, chicken andhra and highway chicken tikka was absolutely gorgeous. The gentleman who served us was very polite and welcoming. We would definitely return.

Food was amazing.Even staff is best.

Food was extremely delicious 😋 and proper Indian taste that we were looking for. Service provided by Deepak Vijay was incredible. We really enjoyed the ambience, food and service and highly recommend.

Using stapler pin for food packing. 🤔Is it safe

Had a cauliflower starter, can’t remember what it was called. It was nice but a bit too sweet. Then i had butter chicken which was very flavourful, needed some veg in it. There were none. The naan bread was hard

The food was great! The staffs were friendly and welcoming. The lamb curry and Gobi Manchurian is a must try. Very much liked by Indians and it’s the most close to authentic you can get in stoke.

So glad we found this place! Delicious food and great service. We had paneer tikka, shish kebabs, lamb saag, aloo gobi, tadka daal - all of it was fantastic. We loved it and this will be our new regular for sure.

All they did was cook the meat and then pour a precooked sauce over the meat, it was rubbish

Great choice, menu has some interesting choices on it. We all enjoyed whst we ordered, staff are friendly and attentive, prices were very reasonable too. It looks like they do a good takeaway service too. Recommended!

Can not fault service food and so polite

Food was tasteless, service was slow. Toilets were flooded and towels on the floor to try and soak up the water from flushed toilets. Asked about the way the dishes were cooked. Was told the meat is put in the dishes and cooked at the same time. No tikka (which you can select) which is marinaded separately before being out into the curry is not. The tikka was just plain chicken in a bland tasteless watery sauce. I've paid less for far better. Such a shame. But it was busy so people must like them. But me and my partner say hell no!

Ordered the lamb biryani with chips and a naan. The biryani didn’t have enough lamb and the naan was a bit soggy but apart from that it was good

Great service and awesome food.

The best Indian food in the area. Great service, decor and prices. Worth booking for Saturday evening,

Yet another beautiful evening with magnificent, tasty and well presented food. Excellent service in a lovely restaurant. An enormous thank you to the staff but especially the chefs.

There's this place in Stoke that I absolutely love eating at. The chef, Avinas G, is super talented and has worked all over the world. The food is always fresh and yummy.

Can't fault Oh India, we usually have a takeaway from here most weeks and decided to dine out for Valentine's. The food is amazing, service amazing and value for money. Best meal out, thank you.

Bebetter if do delivery within 3 mile radius

If any one is looking for good Indian food. So, this the place where you can get good traditional Indian food with spices. Just visit and contact Mr. Vijay he can help you make you are dinner. Services and atmosphere is very pleasant.

Not been here for some time but definitely will revisit, enjoyed our meal ,happy new year to all the staff !!

Watch your bill they put drinks and food on you haven't had..

Quiet, as we were the only customers in there. Very good service + the food was good.

Only been once but cant complain with anything. Food was good, waiting staff where always available

The food was nice, maybe they need more staff at least when they know that it is busy because the waiting time is a little bit too long and I can see that the waitress was trying to be quicker but having so many orders no chance.

Had a excellent time with a group of friends. Good food with great service by the staff.

The food is great , I ordered butter chicken and chicken masala with basmati rice . I don’t think there is better authentic Indian in town as good as them.

I had a takeaway last night, I have to say the best Indian food I have tasted outside of London. I can’t wait to order again and so much I want to try. Thank you so much sadly there are no good Indian takeout options in Stoke if any quality. Keep up the good work and please don’t disappear 🫠

Very tasty food and great service, reccomended.

Very tasty Indian food but the service could be a little better.

Very good service and the food was great . It’s been a great experience.

Food was great, it was as per the indian taste which is not very easy to get in UK

Came here with friends and was not disappointed. Food was lovely! Was a little bit of a wait for our main but it was worth the wait! Nice friendly atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and chatty. Would come again.

Been many times, best in Stoke on trent. But last takeaway was late cold and very little chicken in the chicken curry. But still the best in Stoke.

The food is excellent and indeed a true taste of India. The service is top notch. Cobra on tap and a good range of other beers and spirits. When the Indian population eat here, you know it’s good. The only downside is the very bright lighting which detracts from the ambience and the overly loud pop/Indian music. However, the food makes up for this, freshly cooked, very tasty and the best Indian food I have tasted in a long time.

What a fabulous meal. I eat out a lot and I think this is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Staffordshire. Excellent

Amazing food, fantastic polite service, reasonable prices, faultless :) extremely impressed :) 10/10, very clean also.

its one of the best places I had good indian in the UK. the lamb was delicious. paneer was great too. we found this place while we were coming back from London. I look forward going back

Had visited with family and friends, enjoyed the Indian taste.

I thought it would be reassuring to leave a review as someone who orders or eats in here once or maybe even twice a week lol. Never had a bad meal here yet in all the years and can't fault the staff and chefs. It's consistent, what more could you want. Consistent tasty food, I always know what I'm getting when I order here. I won't order Butter chicken anywhere else because oh india can't be beaten. Great job all round to the team at oh india. Only place I have been locally that delivers an authentic Indian taste. And the chilli chicken is spot on indo Chinese. Its delightful to be able to get my favourite Indian dishes in UK. Please add chicken lollipop back to the menu 😋

Delicious food, friendly service, outside area at the rear is fab, you feel like you're away from it all on a warm summer evening. Enjoyed the barbecue lamb chops especially! Also lots of tasty veggie options.

First visit in a long time but it won't be the last. The food and the service were first class. The staff are to be congratulated. We look forward to our next visit 🙏

The food was absolutely delicious I did notice that beer and wine etc were sold here As a Muslim I think that if it's a halal restaurant they shouldn't be selling beer and wine but there choice

Great food, great service, excellent prices, a good night out.

This place is my favourite Indian restaurant. The food is divine, every customer is made to feel welcome and valued and the atmosphere is cosy and relaxed while still maintaining class. The backyard barbecue just elevates the place further

Good food in a relaxed friendly ambience with timely, polite, and non intrusive service.

Nice staff and nice place, the food was awful sadly!

Great food loved the Gobi manchurian

Went here based on it being the flag ship to the Mirchi in Shelton thinking it would set the standard, unfortunately disappointment was an understatement, I can’t knock the food it tasted meh at best compared to the Mirchi, the service was non existent (they had the audacity to add a service charge which we removed) the waiters were too busy avoiding any interaction to which point we had to get up and ask at the bar for refills, the place also needs a good clean as also mentioned by another reviewer.

Surprised by the lack of traditional indian restaurant surroundings,it was very open and bright.Not as welcoming as l would of expected.Cobra beer was tasty,wine for the mrs,we both had a starter mine was the 65, which was a spicy chicken, my wife had small battered fish.I felt that it was bought in so 'frozen' not fresh. Mains- My wife had the butter chicken,the sauce on the butter chicken was tasty. I had the chicken chettinad,the sauce tasted as if it was a bit burnt,we both had pilau rice,peshwari nan(that was super nice) and bombay aloo.This was a southern indian restaurant,so l think different from the 'mainstream' indian restaurants. The food just seemed like it was not 'prepared fresh' even the butter chicken sauce, and the chicken chettinad sauce was to smooth and looked 'bought in',ok l maybe wrong,but its what I felt it was like. Also l'm not into 'kids' birthday cake,and singing 'Happy Birthday' still its near a city,so they might do things differently. Again this is just 'My opinion'.Best part of the meal was the 'Peshwari Nan' by far.

Good food but they charge £1.15 for "POPPERDUMS" and send you 1 popperdum.

Great place food very good staff great

Food was awful, saag paneer… the sauce was pesto with a bit of spice in. Chicken was dry. It was as if the chicken was cooked separately and the sauce (not authentic in any way) was tasteless. They charged £2.70 for the sauce tray AND put a 10% service charge on. There was two of us spending a total of £44.50 for two mains, two rices one veg dish and a coke. On top of the ridiculous price for the sauce tray. DO NOT GO

Love this place. An absolute little gem. We have visited a few times now and never had a bad meal. Always so fresh and tasty. By far the best Indian restaurant I’ve visited. I can highly recommend the back yard grill starter. Really impressive. Never tasted flavours like it. Staff always friendly, place is always clean, it has a really nice atmosphere and is very good value for money. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Lovely Place, Food and People. Great Family atmosphere 👏

Just had a curry there tonight and it was amazing! Highly recommend! Also the staff are very friendly and polite!

Great Food and the hospitality was great. Interior decor not quite what I was expecting. But just my personal taste. Most importantly the food was great for the price point it's pitched at! I would heartily recommend Oh India!

Excellent! Highly rate it, good and service excellent.

Oh India... I genuinely am shocked to how this place has received 5 star reviews. Overall, the service of the staff was great and I had a positive experience with the service of all staff. However, our curries were just not good. It tasted as if it was a microwave curry. Which isn't what I expect when going to an Indian restaurant. My partner had a chicken tikka masala and I had a chilli chicken tikka masala. The sauce was exactly like a korma sauce and none of the chicken was seasoned, the chicken looked boiled with no seasoning. As mentioned, just a regular microwave curry. Naan, chips and rice were good though! Bitter sweet experience as no problems with service and side dishes but not a good curry.

One of many takeaways from oh india and they never disappoint, great quality. Also a lovely place to sit in and dine.

Absolutely shocking service and ridiculously slow!the staff even blamed us for them never serving the food! Semi pros trying to have a good running restaurant and sadly the experience was dreadful👎

Unfortunately the service was extremely slow. We waited for over two hours for the food to arrive.

Good curry. Tasty and flavoursome

Dont like they add a 10% service charge. Would of tipped them but at my own accord . Even though everything good standards, that's a big negative that will make me go very rarely

Enjoyable on the whole, liked our starters. Unfortunately quality of mains has gone a little downhill over time (but not bad by any means). Also didn't honour the 20% discount on Tuesdays advertised on their website. Good service. Pleasant music and surroundings, well maintained.

Incredible food, good service, waiter answered any questions about food with ease and was able to recommend a dish to me when I asked between different choices.

Dined in :) Changed opinion on my previous delivery x

We went here with family on a recommendation, after being out of the country for 5 years it was the biggest let down of my return home to date. The restaurant was freezing people were sat inside with coats on. When I asked if the heating was on the waiter informed me it was on. I went to use the bathroom, the main ones were out of order and the disabled on was leaking so that to was out of bounds to. They seem to of had a burst pipe as water was dripping from the ceiling. This room was even colder the waiter in here informed me, We just turned the heat on we forgot. It's -3 how do you forget? The food itself is tasty and all came out together. All was going well until I came across a piece of steel wool in my meal. They did apologize and ask if I wanted anything else, even a drink. By that time I was done. What a disappointment for our first curry experience. I hope they can get thier problems sorted as the food was tasty.

Great restaurant, lovely food and excellent service. Staff always very friendly. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is I always find it a bit cold in there. I guess that is because it is so big though. Will return

Lovely little restaurant- great food - excellent vegetarian options

We have been attending here semi regularly for 6 or 7 years. Food has always been top notch and slightly different the normal. The did well to survive the lockdown period and were taken into a group with, another favourite of ours, Merchi in Stoke on Trent itself. I honesty this evening was less good than normal as the chetinad was milder and less richly flavoured than usual. The Lamb Saag was superb as was the prawn pepper fry and out favourite thing the Chicken 65.

What a great evening with our friends. We ordered a taster menu and it was amazing, everything that we had was perfect. Many thanks to staff. We will definitely be Back.

Food is beautiful cooked to order and the bbq sharer is amazing.... 😍

Food quite bland although the service was exceptional. Atmosphere was like sitting in a pub, looks like decor had not been changed since it closed down as apub years ago. Not alot of atmosphere to speek of. Bit of a disappointment

I can honestly say as a huge curry lovers.. this genuinely has to be the best Indian restaurant my wife and I have ever used! Seriously!! A big, big statement but completely accurate as to the quality of the food and all the overwhelming taste of excellence!! You can tell hands down that the Curries here are prepared with love and all the right ingredients! Not too much of one ingredient or the other that you get overwhelmed with either too much veg/herbs & spices or too much meat.. a perfect balance and absolute value for money! Every single curry we have had from this Indian has been consistently amazing! I am utterly overjoyed and delighted to say I no longer need to keep searching for that one Curry that I have so badly been wishing for throughout my entire Curry eating experience over the last 20 years... I am truly grateful to the all the chef's and staff involved for providing not only the best curry experience ever but such a happy customer service also! Thanks guys! A truly amazing place! WOW!!!

DO NOT ORDER!! THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND CANCEL YOUR ORDER!! Ordered from them and waited for two hours and no food arrived, after calling them they denied everything and told us we didn’t even place an order. I shall be requesting a refund from PayPal as they do not want to refund my purchase.

Ordered a takeaway (via Just Eats) for my son's 21st birthday, before he was heading out for the night. Took over an hour to arrive and my son's meal was missing! Rang to let the restaurant know and I was assured it would be with me within 10 minutes but it wasn't delivered for over half an hour, during which time the rest of the food was cold (and not even that good anyway). Never again!

We love this place. Best curry in the area and we eat A LOT of curry!! Chilli paneer starter and lamb chops amazing!!!
