Papa J's in Milton Keynes

Excellent food. Delivery time could be a bit shorter

the food is very tasty and authentic. reminded us of the food back home in India. must visit if you want to taste good Indian food

Biryani x Biryani Sauce x Raita = Banger🔥🔥🔥Defo gonna order again. Might pop in the restaurant for sure

Very good restaurant in Oxley Park, Milton Keynes, the food is excellent. The team are very friendly & will cater to your requirements. Good service and quick service

Excellent waiter. Very attentive.

Papa J is a fantastic spot for authentic Indian-style Tandoori Chicken, and their green chutney is absolutely irresistible! What I really appreciate is that they customize the spice level to suit your taste, which makes the experience even better. Their fried rice and noodles are also top-notch—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend trying their dine-in experience for the full atmosphere and freshness.

Shiva is a great server, very polite. Food is always amazing.

Best in Milton Keynes & good service.

Amazing food and great service by Siva!!!

Very delicious and my daughter gave 5star. And thank you

Great atmosphere and the nicest service in the world, the food is also great

Outstanding service by Shiva! The food is delicious, affordable, and the restaurant has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere — making it an ideal choice for both weekends and weekdays. I highly recommend trying their unlimited buffet every Sunday, where you can enjoy a wide variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The biryani, in particular, is exceptionally flavourful and a must-try!

Shiva was really kind and served us really well with our specific vegetarian requirements. I would always recommend his service to our family and friends. We would love to come back again.

Amazing taste - authentic Indian flavourish

The food was delicious and served in generous portions. It’s clear that the service has improved tremendously—everything was efficient and friendly. Definitely a positive change and worth coming back for!

Food is really amazing. I love panner biryani there and the restaurant is my favourite out if all in Milton keynes. Shiva’s acknowledgment and the answers are very kind. Sunday’s unlimited food is so delicious. Thank you

Restaurant makes great Indian food and they are very tasty

Great atmosphere staff and lovely food is amazing. Thank you guys

I went to this restaurant and the food was disgusting. The service was just as bad. I wouldn't recommend. This is not authentic Indian food. The owner was rude and shouted at me in store . It's an all round no from me.

Very tasty Indian food that is full of flavors. Food came relatively quick and our host was attentive. Would love to try the Sunday buffet to see if the quality is consistent.

Such an amazing place. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The food is wonderful and they will go out of their way to look after you. I am very much a regular here.

Very tasty food. Great service and a nice place. Thank you.

Fast and friendly service, lovely food with great Indian flavour

Excellent food very authentic best Indian around Milton Keynes Very friendly service

Lovely dinner - excellent service and food

Not good anymore. Quality of food, services gone down drastically. It was good when they started the business, but not anymore. Felt too much oil, frozen reheated/old food reheated...just waste of money

Great service and delicious food as always

We come here very often, good food and good service Highly recommend

The food quality is amazing, I love every bite of it, however they prices are quite expensive (for example, a starter of Chilli Paneer costs £8). But it is much better to eat during the day rather than the evening, as the prices are more reasonable (The same Dish costs around £4.50 - £5.00). Other than the price issue, the food is delicious, lots of aromatic flavors that will make your mouth watering with delight! and the staff are very helpful!

The best Indian food in the area. Always service with a smile.

Welcoming place value for 💰 good vibes

Papa j's is a must-visit for food lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. With great food, expertly crafted drinks, and a welcoming ambiance, it’s the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!🤩

Wonderfull experience and good service.

I love papa j's indian restaurant

I’ve been visiting Papa J’s for many years and always had pleasant experiences, so after almost two years away, I decided to return, expecting the same great service. Unfortunately, what I got was the complete opposite. From the start, things felt off. Our server decided to open the blinds directly behind us on a bright, sunny day, letting sunlight glare right into our eyes. When we asked for it to be closed, the blind broke—no big deal, so we moved to another table. Then, when placing our order, the waiter asked if we wanted drinks. We politely declined, saying we’d just like water. He then asked again if we were sure, making the interaction awkward. The real shocker came when our food arrived. The waiter dropped a quarter of our naan on the floor. Mistakes happen, but instead of simply replacing it, he went to the kitchen, returned, and asked if we were okay with just ¾ of our naan. I couldn’t believe it. When I said no, he smugly replied, “Making ¼ of a naan is not possible.” At this point, I had to firmly tell him that I expected a full naan, whether that meant making a new one or otherwise. Only then did they finally replace it. When I spoke to another server about the situation, he casually admitted, “Oh, he’s always like this, bothering customers.” That alone was appalling. I requested that the original server stay away from our table, but of course, that didn’t happen. He continued serving us and, unbelievably, asked yet again if we wanted drinks—despite us already declining multiple times. To top it off, when we asked for the bill, he sarcastically asked if it was our first time there, as if we were the ones who didn’t understand their standard of service. I simply told him I’d been there many times and just wanted the bill. This experience was beyond disappointing—especially since I had spoken highly of Papa J’s to the people I was dining with. With so many new restaurants opening in Milton Keynes, poor service like this is unacceptable. Papa J’s is now off my list, and I won’t be recommending it to anyone again.

Great Staff, Service, Food and Drink. You can always tell a good Indian restaurant, you will see Indian people dining.

Best of all the staff performed a magic trick, my food transported to a heated container the other side of the room.

I recently tried the chicken biryani at Papa J's, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I loved flavourful the rice was and the staff was very friendly Definitely a 5-star experience Can't wait to go back for more.

Family pack Lamb biryani Along with the chicken, very good

I had my first meal at Papa J’s Indian Restaurant Milton Keynes, and it was absolutely extraordinary! The food was incredibly delicious, bursting with authentic flavors—exactly what you’d expect from a top Indian restaurant. The service was impeccable, and Shiva was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The ambiance was also great, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing dinner. Everything exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!

The food is amazing. The stuff is so kind and I think the first Indian restaurant I eat so I’m so pleasure.Tks Shiva For everything

Shiva it was amazing waiter with us Amazing service Thank you so much

Chicken biryani worth trying , overall great food

Great food, great vibes! Had an amazing meal at Papaji Da Dhaba. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, and the naan was fresh and fluffy. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Definitely coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had been to this place recently,the ambience and food is amazing,true Indian ethnic cuisine we can relish.service also good ,all the staff are courteous and polite.if time permits I will visit again.

Great experience, I’ll definitely try it again

Poor service , very slow , food came after 2 hours

The place has a good ambience and food was excellent. Surely will visit again.

A disappointing demise! Papa J’s used to produce excellent food, however, over the last 2 years the quality has been on consistent downward trajectory. The takeaway I received last night was poor, with the food far too heavily salted, the Lamb dish had a thicker layer of oil than the layer of sauce and the 2 combined portions of Gulub Jaman at a total price of £9.00 consisted of just 4 tiny pieces. To top it off, the food arrived stone cold. It’s sad to see the demise.
