Prince of India in Aylesbury Vale

Best Indian I have had for a long time service very good. Lamb Pathia and bindi bargee exceptional. Will try the sunday lunch special next time.

Food was OK. Service was a little non personal and prices a bit steep. Its a shame as this could be the go to place in Wendover for an Indian.

Ordered a takeaway last night after a long hiatus from using this business. Following a brave attempt from a staff member at being friendly as I walked through the door, that all very quickly evaporated to a surlyness bordering upon contempt within 20 seconds which became very apparent to me. I picked my order up at 11pm, they're open until 11.30pm according to their website, yet I could clearly see that they were not happy at all that I'd placed an order that late, and this was on a Thursday, not a Monday! The chef brought the food out, dressed in his coat, ready to go home, with his face literally tripping him up! I got home, only 5 minutes away, to find a tiny portion of rice, which was the only hot item, a main which was just about luke warm, and the starter cold, as in stone cold.This was after me picking up my food 20 minutes after placing my order as per their instruction. Food lacked any dimension regarding flavour of any sort, besides the distinct lack of temperature, I had paid £16.50 for not very much food at all, that was overall luke warm at very best. They are obviously happy to take your money without what seems to be a single thought about if you'd ever want to go back there ever again or recommend their restaurant to anyone else, what a way to run a business! I very simply won't ever be going back or giving them any sort of recommendation! I got a blatantly stark reminder that I obviously did have a very good reason for my long hiatus, but I had decided last night that I was prepared to give them another chance. Whereas, in actuality, they only succeded in demonstrating to me exactly why I hadn't used them in so many years in every single way. (I'm a Wendover resident for well over 20 years) My experience last night can only be described as totally diabolical, I didn't enjoy one single bit of the experience! I'll be using their direct competitor from now on, only up the road and they do actually seem to care what goes out of their door. Their service is good, and their food does have some proper dimension to it's flavours, unlike here....plus its never cold!! Spend your hard earned cash somewhere else is my advice, my experience with this restaurant has been outrageously bad on all counts, both now and all those years ago too. That goes for the food and a shocking attitude from the staff, because hospitality, it's definitely not! Seems like some leapords never change their spots and this one certainly hasn't, it's got worse if anything! I'm not one to normally leave reviews, but after last night's experience, I've decided to change all that, the good people out there have every right to know about what amounted to a pretty ghastly experience for me, from start to finish. As much as I'd love to support and recommend a local business, not this one, not on your Nelly!

Visited on a Saturday evening with some friends with a mixed experience. The food was good however the restaurant is pretty tired looking and the staff were not very friendly. The draught lager was flat. The price of the meal was reasonable although would try somewhere else if in the area again

My wife and I had not had an 'Indian' eaten out for a while as she has been isolating due to chemo-therapy. The entrance to the car park at the place we intended to visit was obstructed due to inconsiderate drivers so we tried the Prince of India near by. We were given a warm welcome by really friendly people, the service was first class and above all the food that we ordered was outstanding. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Lovely food and very accommodating to the 2 children we had with us

Very good Indian food, for a provincial English village. The flavours were exciting and authentic, and prices reasonable. Service was effortlessly brusque, almost contemptuous. I would return in a heartbeat!

I recommended this restaurant to a couple of friends on Saturday and, indeed, I walked them to the door. Alas, I was informed of very slow and poor service and a below par meal. I don't generally leave poor reviews, but as my recommendation now counts for nothing, then it is warranted. Pity, because this was my first choice for myself as well, even if I hadn't been for a while.

We decided to try this restaurant after having a walk. As we entered the waiter was not at all welcoming. No smile. It made our meal not as enjoyable as it could have been. We didn't stay long.

Various dishes had; pakora, samosa, mixed tandoori, madras, biryani, vegetarian curry - all well cooked and served with good service

We held a Charity Function yesterday & 26 Guests attended the Sunday Banquet. it was most memorable, the Staff were Polite & attentive, the Food was up to its usual High Standard. the Owner kindly Donated 2 Meal Vouchers which was Auctioned & we Raised £170 for a Local Charity.

Hadn't visited for quiet a while was pleasantly surprised food was delicious hot and plentiful highly recommend Thank you Prince of India

Great meal at this lovely little restaurant in Wendover, I’ll be back soon!

Food was average and the service was terrible! We waited over an hour for our food and then the waiter never cleared our table. Even had to wait to pay our bill. Used to always come here it’s really gone downhill. Such a shame.

Highly recommend I have eaten here many times and the menu is always amazingly tasty! I feel well looked after and happy after a good meal and friendly service

Great authentic food good service

Les plats sont absolument excellents, rien à dire. Les prix très abordables comparativement aux autres restaurants indiens du secteur. Le seul bémol toutefois est le service, très très lent et sans un sourire... Dommage !

What a great experience thank you we will visit again !!

How the mighty have fallen. Had great meals there over the years. Now it’s tired, dirty and slightly malodorous. Shame. TBF I can’t comment on the food as we did not stay. Had fabulous Thai elsewhere.

The food here was absolutely delicious. I loved the fennel seeds in the onion bhajis! Hang on to this chef! I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be back.

Excellent food and very welcoming - highly recommended!

Food excellent, service could be better

Love the Prince. Always get a nice welcome and lovely food.

Have used this restaurant for over 30 years, first time since the pandemic started and still superb. Very welcoming staff and great food

Great food. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

Called in a small order at 18:10. We were told it was a 40 minute wait which was fine as we were on our way home and timed it so we could collect rather than wait for delivery as we had our son in the car. We pulled up and went in at 18:45. At 19:00 we chased…..nothing. They completely ignored the fact it was now late and carried on serving tables. At 19:10 asked again….nothing. By this point I’ve had to sit in the car with my son for 25 minutes. At 19:15 we told them to just leave it was it was nearly 25 mins later than expected. Funnily enough THEN the food appeared. When we got home it was not correct either. Good was cold and overcooked. If they had told us the wait was going to be over an hour we wouldn’t have placed the order! Never again!

This Indian restaurant is on the road to Aylesbury, around the corner from the bulk of the shops and restaurants. Old style decor and a great atmosphere. Pleasant staff and unrushed service. Great Menu and good choice. We went on a Wednesday which as written offers four dishes with some restrictions for a very good price.

Just had a lovely curry tonight food was excellent as always and great value for money from little hampden close wendover

This Is the place to go if you love Indian cuisine, absolutely fantastic food. I highly recommend this place

Very good food! Will definitely get takeaway from them again soon.

I really enjoy the Prince of India. The lamb rogan gosht is the best I've ever had (and I get it everywhere I go)

Don’t go anywhere else this place is awesome, it’s old school but don’t let that put you off it’s the best tasting food in the area, and the portions are generous, just great food.

Had a great Indian meal last week. Will be back.

I am a regular takeaway customer and the food is always great. Sometimes they get a bit over-run, especially when it is hard to gauge staffing levels during the current Covid crisis, but they are always helpful and polite. I always look forward to collecting my takeaway and appreciate the odd free drink and chocolates for the kids that they invariably hand me. Lovely food, go visit.

My husband and I are regular Indian Asian restaurant goers at least once or twice a week. We are both Vegetarian though not vegan will eat vegan food. We both went for Vegetarian Thali a mixture of authentic dishes served on a platter and chose garlic naan as an accompaniment. The flavours were excellent and complimented each other superbly. The portion sizes were more than adequate and the prices reasonable. It was a Sunday evening and we booked but found only one other table in use when we arrived at 8pm and only one other group came in by the time we left around 9:50pm. We don't like boisterous groups around us but there was absolutely no atmosphere but for us the food made up for it. The drinks costs made up a third of our Seventy pound bill for two people. They will happily adapt a meal to your preference the staff were diligent but appeared tired. I will add it to restaurants worthy of a revisit.

Excellent food and service ok .needs some authentic background music!

Amazing food x staff friendly x family really enjoyed it x

We had great food and friendly service. The paneer jalfrezi was excellent and also enjoyed the onion bajees, sag aloo and brinjal bajee. The waiter was accommodating and helpful.

Having just shy of 700 reviews on Google, you'll notice i'm not one for a bad review but the experience I just had in Prince of India deserves exposing. After booking by telephone a week in advance to take advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, we turned up at the reserved time and they didn't have a table prepared for us and the place was already very full (not adhering to Government guidelines) with no station to hand sanitise on arrival and staff with no form of PPE or disinfectant in sight. We were placed in the back corner of the restaurant next to the squeaky kitchen door with the hole in the roof patched up with takeaway lids and brown sellotape. Although happy because it seems there is a table acting as a spacer between us and the next customers table. After 1.5 hours and our starters and drinks are finally placed on the table, the "spacer table" quickly had chairs added to it and another 4 innocent customers get squished into the restaurant. By this point the restaurant was bursting at the sides full of people, so when we requested to move they couldn't accommodate it. Not to mention the fact the takeaway waiting table had now become another eating-in table. It was at this point we became uncomfortable and asked if it was possible to have our mains bagged up so we could eat them at home, this was not possible as the staff decided to walk off mid-conversation with us. At this point we decided we were finished with the antics and wanted to get out, he pleaded us to stay despite expressing to him how uncomfortable we were. Eventually he gave in and allowed me to pay for what we had consumed, not applying the Eat Out to Help Out discount. So we ended up paying full price for starters and soft drinks in a crammed full restaurant, squished in the corner. Perfect birthday meal for our friend's birthday.

Very poor customer service over the phone when taking the initial order, when collected the order was read through but when getting home several items were missing. When we called back they couldn’t care less, said they would deliver the missing items (we are less than half a mile away), but never showed. Will not be using again and will definitely not recommend to anyone else.

Great curry. Consistently good for many many years!

We live very near & have always had good food. Staff polite & helpful. Rate it highly. At one time there were 3 Indian restaurants in Wendover but found the prince of India to be the best .

Very good food and service, I enjoy the service, and they once gave us a bottle of coca cola

I get very frustrated about people who complain about the staff not smiling! One of the things that was drummed into us on our first India trip was that smiling was not usual in their culture. I appreciate that the are in the UK (before some moron mentions it) but if you aren't brought up to smile then it must be difficult. I have to say that we have been going to The Prince of India since it opened and thus are well known but we do not find the facial expressions anything to complain about. We go for the food which we love. These days, being older, we often get a home delivery and the service is excellent. Would highly recommend.

This was our second visit, the first time the service was slowish but bearable, this time it was appalling, we waited 2 hours for the food and had to continually call waiting staff over to remind them of drinks we had ordered. The waiters were polite and apologetic, except for one who was darn right rude, but the wait was made more unbearable due to us being placed next to the largest table in the restaurant which was occupied by a crowd of loud foul mouthed men who were also complaining about the wait! The food was ok when it arrived but none of us were particularly hungry after the wait so there was a lot of waste. We won’t be returning.

We had a great meal here tonight. Poppadoms were good, not greasy or oily. Starters were also good, vegetable samosa and prawn on puri. Main courses were excellent, vegetarian thali was delicious and chicken tikka was faultless. Good service and very reasonable prices. Really enjoyable meal.

Hi, we used to come each term with school and then our colleague who organised it left. Went again last Wednesday with a few colleagues, now friends and really enjoyed the food. The Peshwari naan was the best I have had. Food was lovely, we were well looked after. Will definitely return!

Great food, had a bit of a wait for our mains but there were 17 of us. Starters and mains were very nice and the staff very friendly and very accomdating. Do a good deal where you get a poppadom, starter, main with rice or naan bread and a drink for £13.95. Can't argue with that.

We went on a Sunday lunchtime and had the 4 course menu choice the food was excellent and great service. Will definitely go again.

Slightly more expensive than many Indian restaurants but well worth it for the selection and quality of food. As vegetarians we often are disappointed when Indian vegetarian options seem bulked out with potato, this is not the case at the Prince of Wales, excellent selections

They do good meals. Good curry house and the staff is ok.

Food taste good but biryani was missing spice. Price within average.

Fabulous food, staff were attentive without being overbearing. Happy to recommend dishes if you weren’t entirely sure of spice or heat. Definitely recommend

Lovely food friendly staff with great characters.Have been befire and eoukd go again.

Service and food was excellent.

Bit like throwback to tbe 70's. Food ok, nothing special but staff let it down with a surly attitude.

We thought the food was great but the waiter was pretty miserable & while paying the bill he asked us for a tip!!! Thought that was a bit cheeky.

We've eaten at Prince of India on several occasions and been very happy with the food and service however our recent visit wasn't one of their best. The staff looked thoroughly miserable, which could've impacted on our party, the food took what seemed to be a lifetime to appear and was served with the same miserable attitude as earlier which is never a good advert for any restaurant! The door was held open for us on the way out by a member of staff without even a glimmer of a smile and clearly lacking any people skills. All very sad really as the food, when it came eventually, was of their usual high quality. I think it's time to find another restaurant for our staff 'meetings', somewhere that appreciates our custom and who can at least give us a smile!

Very tasty food and excellent friendly customer service. Only criticism would be the hand towel in the bathroom - for hygiene reasons should really be disposable towels rather than fabric.

Sorry to say but quality of the food was very poor. Never had such a bad Indian meal. Would not recommend. Instead go next door to the George and Dragon.

Our first time to the Prince of India. The food was good but the waiter who met us at the door and showed us to our table was so miserable and continued to be so all evening. Such a shame

Fantastic Food, Very Slow Service, Lots Of Waiting Around, Decor a bit dated, lovely Keema naan and Special rice

This is a pretty good Indian restaurant and is certainly the best in the surrounding area. The food was of a high quality and the atmosphere was very nice. This is your typical Indian fare. All the popular dishes are on offer here, along with beers and wines.

Very good food. Sunday banquet good value for money. Well worth a visit

The Prince of India is a very underestimated restaurant- although they produce the standard fare the staff and service are very friendly and and very efficient- food wise, it is quickly served and delicately flavoured- which adds to their credit I would recommend to anyone passing through Wendover

Bless this place it’s a little bit like stepping back in time but the food was very tasty and extremely reasonably priced it’s time for them to put the prices up as we would have quite happily paid more. The service was very good also the waiters were very polite even to the two guys who were making it difficult for them who we asked not to be near they handled them very well.

How do you serve a meal with so little passion involved. throwing a meal out of that quality proves that this restaurant hasn't moved on from the times when curry houses

Would not recommend or return. Staff where unwelcoming and unfriendly, waited 1.5 hours for starters to arrive, and then another long wait for our main course. Waiting staff seemed unconcerned about delay, and also managed to get food and drink orders incorrect causing further delays. Food not particularly hot when served and to the point bland and not great quality.

Went in for a romantic meal for two, wasn’t disappointed. Food was outstanding, peshwari naans were fresh, light and packed with coconut and almonds. My other half requested a special dish not on the menu and it was whipped up with no hesitation. We were checked on multiple times and service was quick. When we paid the main host showed us to the door, thanked us and opened it for us - not a service you get at any other Aylesbury restaurant I know! Virtually the same price as Nando’s, with better service than anywhere else i’ve Been lovely, and fantastic chefs. Veg korma was packed with veg and chicken was soft, tender and cooked to perfection. We’ll be making this our regular date night haunt from now on. Thanks guys!!

Wonderful place to celebrate my sons 18th. Good food and a happy atmos!!

Went for an anniversary meal. Had to send my food back as chicken was raw. Staff not pleasant

My wife and I used a rare evening without kids to visit. We were served by sullen unresponsive staff, my wife did not receive the dish she ordered, the so called lamb in my dish was chewy and the naan was undercooked and doughy. Service was slow even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We won't be back.

The best place to come for an Indian meal. Luku and his team are friendly and always want you to leave happy and content. The food is amazing and well priced. The restaurant is always busy which is a very good sign in my eyes. Thankyou.

I brought my kids there for father's day. The waiter was persistently rude, didn't bring items we asked for and the food was of a very low quality. Definitely not a good overall experience. I will never be going again.

Been going here on and off for 3 years so have gotten to know some of the staff quite well Always feel welcome and I have always found the food to be excellent and the staff are friendly.

Great food. Nice indian spicy food

We have been going to the Prince of India for more than 30 years and it has always provided excellent food and service. However, on Friday 13th April, whilst the food was up to the usual standard the service was abysmal - slow, truculent and with an unpleasant atmosphere. It was as though we had interrupted the staff in the middle of a massive argument. Indeed, only one member of staff smiled at us during our stay. Pity, really, as we've always been happy in the past.

Always offering good food and accomodating changes to dishes (and spice heat levels) the prince of India has been our go to Indian for a meal out ever since I was a kid. To be honest the decor has seen better days and is in need of redecorating, but it still has that appeal. On a Sunday with a great lunch banquet offer we tend to go then while the restaurant is quiet too. Worth a visit but please bear in mind the look is a little tired.

Outstanding food, outstanding service.

Came here for a meal out with my girlfriend, the food is super tasty and service was excellent they’re there waiting whenever anything is needed. Not badly priced either for the excellent quality of food. Would definitely recommend.

The staff are very friendly,the service is excellent,and the food is out this world

Great staff, food to die for, many flavours. Don't listen to the other bad reviews, if you know a true Indian meal you'll love this place! 100/100

This used to be the besct Indian restaurant restaurant for miles

Primera vez comiendo aquí esta noche y no conseguir la mejor sensación cuando recibió una persona mayor y sentía que estaba molestando su noche. Éramos 4 personas en el restaurante cuando llegué.

2nd best Indian in Wendover. Luko is a star 😎

La comida estaba bien (aunque mi plato de cordero era todo picada como comida para bebés. . . ? Pero todo lo que puedo) pensar cuando recuerdo nuestra visita es la frialdad del camarero y su fuerte deseo de borrar la mesa, preguntándonos a mover nuestros vasos para poder quitar el mantel y no incluso preguntarnos si queríamos un postre o un café. . No chat pequeña, sin sonrisa, podrían haber sido servido por un robot. Actualmente estoy muy decepcionado ya que este plato era para celebrar algo especial y sin duda no volveremos!

arrived late , very quiet restaurant but the food was plentiful and tasty. The staff were quiet but attentive and the food was reasonably priced and arrived in good time - especially as we were on a time scale.

Este es un pub restaurante indio, con una buena variedad de platos en el menú. Puedes conseguir aparcamiento en la calle. Los platos son realmente agradable fresco y sabroso. Para tres de nosotros con entrantes, una pinta de cerveza cuesta 45 libras, pero nos llevamos a casa el exceso de comida para el almuerzo del día siguiente. Dinero bien gastado.

Food was good but not that special in my opinion, staff generally ok but did have to ask 3 times for a glass of water.

Ok but nothing better than ok. Plenty of Indian restaurants to choose from in Wendover. The chicken in my curry was very tough. Had better. Had worse.

Buena relación calidad-precio y la comida, en general de buena calidad. Un problema es que, incluso cuando el restaurante está lleno, los pedidos para llevar parecen tener prioridad, que puede hacer servicio exageradamente lento.

Pedí dos platos de gambas que sabían muy bien, pero yo tenía un mal caso de squits para 24 horas después.

A bit of a moribund experience. Food OK though.

We just come home from prince of India first visit for a good while ! Good food served quite quickly Cold. Beer ! But please service with a smile would of made the whole experience so much nicer ....Wasn't bad just feel that when you are paying for the eating experience out service is a big part .... and a smile makes it better !

Honestly I'm shocked at how bad this place is. The restaurant itself seemed like a movie set from an 90's Bollywood film (a B rate film at that!). We waited 40 odd minutes for the food and had to send the chicken back as it was still rare! I was expecting them to take that particular meal off the bill- but no such luck. I didn't want to ask! There seemed alot of takeaways going out which might have explained the above. I'd also suggest customer service training for the unfriendly staff as most of them did not want to be at work. Please go to Raj Indian across the road (who was sadly fully booked ....wonder why!)

We have a takeaway from the Prince every Sunday evening. Also, sadly, we are inclined to order the same dishes every week as they are so good and totally consistant.We feel very lucky to have such a good indian restaurant near us although we have never eaten 'in'. It has rather an old fashioned feel to the decor but nonetheless all of the highest quality. Thoroughly authentic with an emphasis on fine food.

Very rude staff , We wanted to have advance booking for one of our future arranged party , when we went there it clearly showed open sign on the door , however door was closed and I was able to see from glass door that some one at reception talking on mobile phone who did look towards us came towards the door changed this sign from open to close and went back and did not even look towards us. I knocked the door and requested them to open a door for a second so that we just have quick look of hall and seating capacity BUT very rude behaviour was shown and we had to come back. They lost a customer and we wasted our time and efforts to go there. I understand it could be closed time m however when you have seen some one requesting at least you could speak and let him know that we could come later or they can not show us for different reasons

May be called the prince of India but this deserves a king status. The food is superb. We tried this restaurant on our way back from London but now we make the effort to drive out. Nice cosy atmosphere with lighting perfect for the romance you require on a date. The food is pretty much out of this world and the staff are very friendly. Please take the time to pop in. You won't be disappointed

Ive been to the prince of india a few times now the the food is great.Also the staff are very helpfuland very nice too.

We took my dad for a birthday meal and thoroughly enjoyed the food.Our waiter was a little bit rude but that can be forgiven as the food was so tasty.Would definitely go back at some point.
