Red Peppers in West Berkshire

Disappointed is an understatement. Food supposed to arrive at 7:31, at 7:50 I called, about to arrive, called again at 8:20. Just arrived, food luke warm at best. Tasty, but that may have been because we were so hungry. Wont ever order again from this place. I recommend avoiding it for delivery!!!!!!!

I won't be returning. The poppadoms tasted like dirty oil (I didn't eat it all because it was that bad), onion bhaji was a bit raw in the middle, the rice looked more like cous cous so assume it isn't great quality although tasted ok. The main was fine but far from as good as others I've had. The soft drinks were either warm or not fizzy. The restaurant itself is quite dated, the toilets and hand dryers desperately need updating. Overall not a great experience and won't be returning when there are so many better options in Newbury.

The best Indian restaurant in Newbury. Excellent food and very friendly service. We went on a Wednesday evening this time for a banquet night and the food was delicious as always and really good value too. We always get our takeaways from her now nothing else compares.

Myself and my work partner live in Essex but are working in Newbury. We love ‘curry’. We have eaten in this restaurant every week we work here (7 weeks and more to come). The food is incredible and service is just as good. Tonight I think I had one of the best dishes anywhere, and bye the way we both eat in two of the best ‘Indian ‘ restaurants in Essex. Hasseena and Leigh Tandoori. Worth a visit.

Enjoyed the Tuesday/Wednesday deal, lucky to get a table as it was very busy. Top quality food and service as always.

The food was tasty and flavoursome and the portions were plentyful . The service was outstanding , very friendly and smiling staff. We have had a lovely experience and we will come back and we highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Newbury ! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful meal and your excellent service.

NICE food nice people 9/10 just working in Newbury fancied a curry. NICE

The staff are amazing.The food was delicious..Will definitely be back.

The starf n food was very good .. First time in the area and will defo be returning

I used to be a regular customer at Red Peppers Newbury, but my recent experience was nothing short of disappointing. The food quality has drastically declined, with dishes lacking the flavor and freshness that once made this place a favorite. The staff's behavior was also below standard, with a noticeable lack of attentiveness and courtesy that left me feeling undervalued as a customer. It’s unfortunate to see a once-great establishment deteriorate in both service and food quality. I hope they can make the necessary improvements to return to their former standards.

Came here on a banquet night and the food was absolutely divine. The service staff members were also helpful catering to myself and my 2 guests. Will 100% recommend.

Very good cuisine. Not greasy at all. Impeccable service. We loved it 💖.

Red Peppers has great food! I had a very tasty prawn Sagwala. On Wednesdays (and maybe on other day that I forget) they have a great deal that includes 1 starter, 1 main, 1 side, and either rice or naan for roughly £12. The staff were very friendly and the proprietor took me for a tour of their kitchens. The kitchens were very clean and it was great to see all the food being freahly made. Overall a very friendly restaurant with great food.

The food is delicious and the service is fantastic, I will be returning.

Chicken was as dry as as a bone - assume it was previously frozen. Naan was more of a chipati - assume it was shop bought and not cooked on a tandoor. Staff were very friendly. Beer was cold. Overall the meal and drinks were relatively inexpensive - reflective of the food.

Absolutely Disastrous! Red Peppers is an absolute disgrace to Indian cuisine. Last night's takeaway was the worst Indian food I've ever had the misfortune to consume. The chicken was so dry it resembled cardboard, and the complete disregard for my specific instructions is nothing short of incompetence. Finding vegetables in my egg rice is an insult, and sultanas in a Chicken Tikka Korma? Are you serious? The garlic naan was like eating a stale cracker. It was hard, dry, and completely devoid of any flavor or texture. I am appalled at the quality ofthis food and even more disappointed in the complete lack of care taken with my order. I would strongly advise anyone considering ordering from Red Peppers to think twice, or even three times. Save your money and your taste buds, and order from somewhere that actually knows how to cook Indian food.

Had dinner at red peppers It was really tasty food. And the owner and the rest of the staff are good. Will visit again soon

OMG… what a beautiful meal. We ordered from menu, but everyone on our table changed the meal Slightly. The young lady always remembers what I have and we only come in every few months-wow! Everyone had a fab meal. Service was great as were the staff. Very efficient. I won’t go to any other curry house.

Have been to this great little restaurant regularly but last went on a banquet night and the value was really good while quality of food and service remains high. The chicken tikka Madras was excellent as was partners Rogan Josh. Beer is good (Kingfisher & Cobra) and wine is good value - will definitely be going back.

The best place around. food is lovely. staff are very polite and lively to talk to nice and clean . ....... .... .. ........

This is the 4th curry I've had from here and again I WASNT DISAPPOINTED!! Fantastic food which was worth waiting for! Again thankyou lena and team!

£12.95 banquet night on a Tuesday is a brilliant price high quality food, great portions. Lovely staff, a great night out.

Just had a lovely meal this evening at Red Pepper's, staff were lovely and the company inside equally the same.We had the banquet for £12.95 each which runs on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, the food was excellent and we were full up as we had plenty of food. If you are in the area or live here I can totally recommend it. We had a Red Peppers chicken special and a Lamb bihari, I can fully recommend as both were very tasty. Many thanks to Red Peppers for a lovely evening, we couldn't fault anything. Thanks Matt and Clare

Whilst visiting Newbury I decided one evening to visit the Red Pepper Indian Restaurant and take advantage of their Buffet meal deal. To be honest this has to probably one of the worst Indian Restaurants I have visited. Even the couple on the table next door to walked out as their food was also disappointing. Unless you sort things out fast your Restaurant business will be a very short lived one

Great place! Very nice Indian food, very generous portions, exceptional service (very nice owner). Mid-week deal is phenomenally good value. Highly recommend.

Order arrived 30 mins late, stone cold so had to go straight in the bin

We go to Red Peppers regularly- mainly for the banquet night on Tuesday or Wednesday. The food and service is always excellent. The only downside is that the toilets need a refresh.

My first time ordering from them and it’s absolutely disappointing! I’ve ordered Butter chicken and it was so tasteless. The sauce wasn’t great and didn’t taste nice at all. I won’t be ordering from them again!

Absolutely beautiful food, wonderful staff lina was so polite and amazing service, would highly recommend great service and food

Took 90 minutes plus to arrive never again!

Food was hot and arrived on time. It was tasty and filling, what slightly let it all down was that the lamb tikka was a little on the tougher side.

Firstly, I want to say, the company and management that occupied this building since I was a child had the most amazing reputation and was I wrong to believe that this would carry. Do not use their website, prices are wrong, they accused their website of being cloned even though nothing is stated on their 'actual' website not to use it. So there are two websites, make sure you use the right one otherwise you may have wasted your money. Then after calling and caculating the prices from their website which we was directed to, the prices were still inaccurate and came to more even after the 15% off collection. The manager did honour the price of the website so hopefully they will now update the prices. All of this would have been acceptable, IF the food was nice. I don't know after reading reviews if it's better in-house but we had four curry dishes, and all of them were not very nice. The sides were also burnt. The Vindaloo, although meant to be a spicy curry, had no flavour and was extremely spicy. Caution, you may get blisters from the extreme spice and flavourless dish. I will not be returning and if I were you, I would wait until Mr India is reopened or go to one of the other places in Newbury. I will be making a complaint for misinterpretation and scamming on their behalf also for the website error as this will cause issue especially in the current social climate. Thank you for wasting £60. Warm regards.

Tonight, my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at Red Peppers Indian, and it was a delightful surprise that we happened upon Buffet Night. Our experience was nothing short of spectacular, creating a memory we will cherish and prompting us to mark our calendars for a return visit. The buffet was a showcase of the best of Indian cuisine, offering a variety of dishes that catered to every taste. Among the stars of the evening were our choices: I indulged in the Chicken Balti, which was a perfect symphony of flavours. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was rich and tangy, with just the right amount of spice to tantalise the palate without overwhelming it. My partner opted for the Rogan Josh lamb, a dish that proved to be a masterpiece of cooking. The lamb was cooked to perfection, soft and succulent, enveloped in a rich, aromatic sauce that spoke volumes of the chef's mastery in blending spices. The ambiance of Red Peppers Indian added to the magic of the evening, with its warm, inviting atmosphere making us feel right at home. The service was exceptional; the staff went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. They were attentive, offering recommendations that were spot on, enhancing our culinary adventure. In conclusion, our visit to Red Peppers Indian was an outstanding dining experience. The food, especially the Chicken Balti and Rogan Josh lamb, was delicious and expertly prepared. Coupled with the warm ambiance and the stellar service, it's clear that this restaurant is a gem that shines brightly in the culinary world. We left with satisfied appetites and a promise to ourselves to return soon. For anyone looking to savour the rich and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine, Red Peppers Indian is a must-visit.

5star restaurant…. Great with kids … food was great. Severing by two lovely lady’s took the time to help 👍 great choice of food . And a good special of the day .

Absolute bobby dazzler! The food quality exceeded expectations and the service was second to none! Mayank was the man, he was there with his A** service and definitely the go to guy when you want a poppadom.

Delicious! The best Indian food we have found round the area. Arrived really hot, arrived early and food was cooked lovely. Will be ordering again!

So whilst walking around Newbury the A board outside Red Peppers Indian Restaurant caught our eye.. "Special Offer Banquet Night £12.95" We decided to give it a go. I enquired into the Mator Paneer and whether this could be mild and come without the peas. The gentleman said that was possible, unfortunately the dish arrived full of peas and was too spicy for me. So, not being into too much spice I elected to have a Chicken Korma, this was lovely, albeit not as mild as I like. The Peshwari Naan was AMAZING. All in all we had a lovely meal (I wish I could eat spice) this is a lovely little restaurant. We would return, but I think I would do my homework to ensure the meal options I ordered were more to my liking. Friendly staff, good price and freshly cooked food

Great food and service and exceptionally friendly staff. The after 8s were brilliant, especially the second lot! Quick service was awesome.

Curry spot on , delivery spot on , bhajis @ £4.50 an absolute joke , 3 of them no bigger than a pebble , work on that and you’ve got a good restaurant

Food arrived after 2 hours and 2 calls. Sadly it arrived tepid at best, popadoms smashed to pieces and the sag aloo and paneer had dried out completely. Not impressed at all and wont order again as I literally ate 3 mouthfuls.

The food was excellent and so was the service, I had the special garlic chicken , I would definitely recommend this place for a night out or takeaway

Food was as stated, one of the best meals i have had in a long time,I will be back to sample some more off the menu, staff were excellent. Thank you

Full of flavour and would definitely order again

Fantastic evening. Wonder food and service - will definitely be back

This is how you do curry! Lamb is always tender. Beautifully spiced and piping hot upon arrival. Delivery driver was kind as per usual. Won’t go anywhere else!

The food was full of flavour and arrived early and most importantly hot!

Nice food nice driver, thumbs up

Great stuffed pepper starter. Then Sashlik Fantastik. I’ll be coming back!

Chewy tikka, all the food was oily and tasteless

Not bad , could have been hotter but overall not a bad curry

The whole experience was outstanding the food was great and the staff are amazing. Definitely would come back again!

A family favourite Great staff very welcoming food is superb would highly recommend and the banquet night is very good

Fantastic food with amazing service! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and all the curry was brilliant 👏

Best Curry house in Newbury, have been a frequent customer for years and will continue to do so, great food.

Food was delicious and arrived super early (on boxing day!). Byriani had slightly leaked as it was in a foil container (its rice came in a plastic sealed container?) but nothing got contaminated and it was an easy wipe down. Paratha was best I've had.

The food was absolutely amazing and so delicious .. we will definitely be coming back again. The fact it is nut free my son can finally enjoy it

Main course was a lot of sauce and the meat not very nice.

By far the best Indian food in Newbury! Excellent food and very friendly staff especially the really short you lady!

Order arrived cold, very disappointed.

Food was cold, items were missing, quality of meat was poor

We go to Red Peppers about once a month- either on aFriday night or on banquet night on a Wednesday. Service is always good & food is great. Choice on Banquet night is from the full menu & quality is really good- would recommend x

Been coming here for years, by far the best curry in Newbury.

Excellent food, tasty and hot. Delivery was bang on time and the driver was helpful and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We have been coming to this restaurant for about a year now. Every time the meal and the service just gets better and better. As a mild curry eater my choices can sometimes feel limited but at Red Peppers i can order mild in so many dishes. Cant complement them enough. A must try.

Excellent, considerate service regarding my food allergy. The young lady was attentive but in a subtle way. The food was best I've had for a long time. We will return when next in Newbury

Just had another amazing experience at Red Peppers in Newbury! The food was outstanding. I had a couple of friends come with me today and they also loved their dishes. The staff were friendly and helpful as always. This time I had a Lena spicy Jinga and a chicken biryani. Highly recommend, everything was fresh and served quick.

Due to a young family we ordered a takeaway… I love fish so had the bhuna and I can say hand on heart it was the best curry I’ve every had full of flavour lots of tender fish… please everyone try it. Jan

Very attentive and friendly staff with lovely food and quick service. We tried a variety of dishes and enjoyed them all. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

If I could rate this higher than 10/10 I would. It’s a cosy little restaurant in the town centre. From the moment we walked in the two young ladies were welcoming and remained professional & friendly throughout, nothing was too much trouble. The place was clean and the service was quick. The best part by far was the food, absolutely delicious, even when we were full we couldn’t stop eating it. It was great value for money and I will definitely go back when I next visit Newbury.

Fantastic evening food excellent, staff very freindly will definitely be visiting again when in Newbury

I came here tonight with some friends, the service was amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Many thanks to my waitress lena. It was an absolute bargain as we had come in for the banquet. I would recommend the garlic chilli chicken or the ghost kata masala.

During my recent visit to Red Peppers Indian Restaurant in Newbury, I had high hopes for a delightful dining experience, but unfortunately, it turned out to be quite the opposite. From the quality of the food to the behavior of the staff and the manager's attitude, my visit left much to be desired. The most disappointing aspect of my visit was the food quality. I ordered a variety of dishes, hoping to savor the rich flavors of Indian cuisine. However, what arrived at my table can only be described as a culinary letdown. The dishes were bland, lacked authenticity, and had an overall unpleasant taste. It's clear that there is a serious issue with consistency in their food preparation. The staff's behavior didn't do much to salvage the situation. Throughout my meal, I couldn't help but notice the indifference and lack of hospitality exhibited by the waitstaff. They seemed disinterested in providing a pleasant dining experience, and it was evident that customer satisfaction was not their top priority. Regrettably, the poor service extended to the manager as well. When I tried to express my concerns about the food quality, I was met with an astonishing level of rudeness. The manager not only dismissed my feedback but also displayed an utter lack of professionalism. It's disheartening to encounter such a lack of accountability from the restaurant's management. In conclusion, my visit to Red Peppers Indian Restaurant in Newbury was nothing short of a culinary disappointment. The subpar food quality, indifferent staff, and the rude manager's attitude combined to create an overall unsatisfactory dining experience. I sincerely hope that the restaurant takes these criticisms seriously and makes the necessary improvements to provide better service and food quality to its patrons in the future. Until then, I would advise diners to approach this establishment with caution!!!

Excellent food, very nice driver, the meal really hit the spot. Many thanks.

Food is excellent and so is the service. I have been here many times and such a high standard every time.

Definitely highly recommend. We had a takeaway, & our curries, rice & saag aloo were delicious & reasonably priced. The girl who took our order was lovely, also. Ready within 20 mins & we also had included with our order a bonus veg. curry which we hadn't ordered. All around excellent service!

Brilliant service, lovely food, definitely the best Indian in newbury, will be returning soon! love tandoori mix grill one of my favourites 😍

Best curry in Newbury. Reasonable priced. Friendly service. Highly recommended. Also cheap on a banquet Tuesday Wednesday lots of for 12.95.

Excellent naan and mixed vegetable but not happy with curries - Tikka masala was sickly sweet while butter chicken was bland and tasteless.

Very great spot! Service and food is amazing, we come back here whenever we can! Thank you very much!

Very good food excellent service from friendly welcoming staff

We called in for a late dinner en route home from a day out . As always, a great welcome from the family. Super service, lovely food and new since we last went, non alcoholic beer for the driver ! Great value . This may not look like a suave resturant but give it a try, the service & food won't disappoint .if you like a hot one, try the chicken naga.

Enjoyed a delicious King Prawn dish here last night, absolutely loved it.

Lovely ladies serving us. Excellent food and plenty of it. Highly recommend

Lovely food, best Indian in Newbury

Second time we’ve eaten here and both occasions have been excellent! Food was tasty and well cooked. Delivery today was early which was much appreciated. Definitely recommend and we will certainly be back!

Wasn’t been informed that food is here. The driver left food at reception. And by the time I got the food it was cold

I really recommend this restaurant the chicken tikka masala was amazing and its near to a lovely hotel in Newbury too!! Alfie aged 9.....

We were driving from Heathrow yesterday. We have been to this restaurant before and it popped into our minds to eat here after a tiring flight and journey back Another fabulous dinner. Everything was super fresh served with elegance and kindness. Recommend it very much to everyone.

Absolutely appalling service, took over an hour to get starters to arrive. stone cold food or clearly dinged in the microwave when the place only had two tables to serve. Absolutely ridiculous, never to return.

Out of the area got recommended, Absolutely amazing food Amazing service Kiki what an absolutely asset to the team

working down here out of town recommended to come here from a local, & what a lovely little place it is, the curry was spot on, service from the guys was top class, next time im down here i will deffo make another visit

Recommended to us from a friend Amazing food and service 10/10 absolutely spot on Would highly recommend 1 of the best curries in a long time 💯👌

Lovely food I can't complain. They even phoned me when my food was ready to pick up.

The food was hot and spicy enough to give someone a stomach ulcer or burn a hole through their gut. Loaded with just chillies.

Our favourite restaurant in Newbury. Cosy curry house. Always friendly. Family business. Good service, lovely food. Dog friendly.

This location is spectacular, customer service is excellent and the food is fantastic. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a restaurant to eat. They also allow dogs 😃😃😀

This is an amazing restaurant the staff are friendly and very welcoming great for families and couples would highly recommend

Amazing staff, all very polite and friendly. Very reasonable prices and food was absolutely fantastic. Will visit again very soon.

The food is excellent and the people are really engaging. Go there! I have ordered a home delivery a number of times during the lockdown lunacy and the food has always been hot and on time. I can't wait for them to open again.

Amazing customer service from the lady that took the order when I called. Amazing food. Amazing prices.
