Roshni's in Spelthorne

This is the worst Indian restaurant I have ever been to. We were seated for about 20 minutes before we were offended a drink. The white wine wine eventually arrived in a tumbler with ice. We asked for this to be changed to a wine glass. We ordered the food and waited over two hours for the main meal to arrive. The manager explained that they cook all meals from scratch and that it takes time to prepare. When imy food arrived it was cold, I asked for it to be heated which they did, I then noticed that the masala has no taste and appeared to be very watery. As we had waited such a long time we decided to eat it. Before I had finished my meal the waitress started to take my meal away without being asked. She had very little English and we found it difficult to communicate with her. The toilet hygiene was below standard and female toilets were closed. When the bill arrived we were shocked at the price and that 12.5 % service charge has been added and that it was not optional. I will certainly not be going back, please do not waste your money.

Oh dear. This place really is shocking. Very big and cavernous. Not intimate at all. Felt like we were sitting on a football pitch. Also freezing cold and I’m not somebody who feels the cold. Waitress had a very poor grasp of both English and the menu . The food was deeply average. She didn’t know what a Shandy was. The toilets were really not nice. Peeling paint. A strong smell of damp. One was constantly flushing and the other one the door wouldn’t shut. I’ve no idea why this place gets any good reviews, but like other say perhaps it has been taken over. It’s definitely the worst Indian restaurant I’ve been to in Staines. Honestly go anywhere else

Ordered take away, they even read out what we ordered. We I went to pick up and pay with cash, they did not have any change and asked me to pay on card. I did not have my card on me. The lady went and spoke to another member of staff and he asked the same question, do you have card, same reply no. The lady then had to go to the newsagents shop for change. On her return we paid and returned home only to find our order was not correct, my wife phoned and told them what we had asked for chicken tikka x 2 only to be told they do not do chicken tikka, it’s mustard chicken tikka ? If they don’t do chicken tikka why didn’t they tell us when we ordered. We also ordered chicken korma which was bland, watery and tasted horrible. Another item was the chicken tikka masala which was ok but nothing special. I have to wonder if they do chicken tikka masala why can’t they do chicken tikka, it’s without the sauce, or was it mustard chicken tikka masala? The Naan bread was chewy and nothing like the Naan bread we are used to. Unfortunately on our return call to them we said this will be the last time we visit this restaurant.

I went out with my partner and sister and had heard good things from a friend. We looked at the menu before hand, looked amazing and lots of variety! When we arrived the menu was very limited. Nothing like online, especially bad on varieties of side orders and rice! We had poppadums , hugely expensive and burnt and had to ask for the chutney tray. When finished the lady cleared the table came back with our plates and said ‘sorry if they are a bit wet it’s where I just washed them’ So wiped them ourselves with a napkins! Ordered our mains, my partner and myself had the same main, both agreed it was bland and awful, I have experienced similar from a microwave supermarket meal and in fairness to the supermarket it tasted better and was cheaper! My sister ordered tandoori chicken, when she cut into it, it was red and bloody near the bone, when we checked the management said that the chef said it was freshly cooked but otherwise didn’t seem overly bothered when we said it was awful. We asked for the bill Which came to £130 incl service charge for burnt poppadums 2 drinks each Rice each 3 horrific main meals Bombay potato’s and 2 naans Again we said how awful it was no one actually responded or even offered to try and rectify ! Awful awful awful avoid at all costs

A real shame.. we have been eating Roshnis for over 2 years and the service, quality and flavour was impeccable. Got it a few weeks ago and it was terrible with burnt bhajis, doughy naans and a chewy chicken tikka. No care for what they were serving at all. Thought it was just an off night though, but it wasn't. A tikka masala came disguised as a jalfrezi, the bhaji were not cooked. Rice and condiments completely different as to before, chicken tikka not the same and the poppadoms stale. They now don't answer their phone so it leads me to believe that it isn't under the same management. Roshnis is no-more, stay away and spend your money elsewhere! An asda microwave curry meal might even be better and a lot cheaper. It's a real shame as staines has now lost Shahee Mahal and now Roshnis. RIP curry upon thames 🙌🏽

We had a lovely meal and received attentive service from Bob and Jagu. We particularly enjoyed our chatt starter. We will return soon.

Absolutely terrible experience, the menu was very limited. I had a Rogan Josh & my sister had a Balti. Both dishes tasted exactly the same, very bland and really disappointing. We were asked if we wanted poppadoms, which we had 4, they came with a very small amount of chutneys. When we came to pay the bill, they charged us £4.95 per poppadom!!!!! So in total £ 19.80 for 4. We were absolutely disgusted, I would never return there.

Visited previously and this time the food was just as good. The food was so well seasoned and fresh. Service couldn’t have been better. As visitors to the area we’ll definitely be back.

Revisited this restaurant again with my wife and friends for dinner. The staff again were very helpful with my vegetarian choices. The dishes were full of so many different types of vegetables and not mean with the paneer either. Dishes were full of flavour, well balanced, and individually memorable. The naans and tandoori roti's were fresh, hot, and delicious. Keep it up.

Amazing food, as good as ever. The Lamb Chops are to die for and a great portion size. Great service from Neha and the team, we will be back soon 👍

Hadn't been here for several years. Impressed with food, good quality and reasonably priced. It suffers a lack of atmosphere as its all one big soace. If busier I think would need more staff. Will definitely revisit.

Last weekend, Roshni’s did the catering for a 70th birthday party at my home. We ordered food for 35 people and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone commented on how good the food was. We ordered poppadoms, samosas, bhajis, chicken korma, lamb rogan josh, rice and naan breads. The portions were very generous and the cheffing dishes we borrowed were perfect for keeping the food warm and for people to serve from. I was very impressed with the communication I had with Anil throughout the process. He always responded promptly to any correspondence I sent and was very flexible and accommodating. Would definitely use Roshni’s again for big family events.

Appalling. Zero service and food never arrived. Do not go. Understaffed and unapologetic. We had to get our plates, napkins and cutlery from another table ourselves.

Very poor atmosphere as soon as arrived … no staff to serve … therefore appalling service. We waited 90 minutes with just a few poppadoms and then told thst our meal would be a “while “…. So we left !! Very unhappy and hungry !!

No atmosphere, no staff. Had to set our own table. Wait for food was so long we had to leave (90 mins and no food at all). Then they added service charge for our drinks... Absolute joke. Stay well away

Shun ham served us and is a real credit to the restaurant. The Chicken dhansak with green beans and dal makhani with a beautiful roti could not be bettered. This is the real deal, Trevor and Chris

Great choice of food and all delicious. Very friendly service and good value. I reccomend this restaurant !

Food brilliant and they will adjust dishes to suit your taste. Brilliant staff always helpful and cheerful. Service is prompt with enough time between courses to digest the previous one. I would highly recommend you try as also great value for money.

This was our first visit for many years and we were impressed with both the quality of food and the staff who were very welcoming and relaxed. Really enjoyed our meal.

What a wonderful last minute meal experience. Food very authentic & tasty. Great efficient & friendly service from ‘Sonia’ (sorry if spelt wrong). Plenty to take home. The Restaurant was quiet on arrival, but busied up later. So glad I’m local. We will definitely be...

Visited here a couple of weeks ago for a birthday meal and was amazed. We were served by the lovely Souyma who made such an effort talking to us. Slight delay due to a larger party but besides that couldn't fault the place! Would highly...

Very bland food, well below par. Everything is like slop with very little flavor at all. The restaurant is very quiet, a shadow of its former self when I first visited (around 12 years ago). The kitchen now functions as 3 food businesses, one serving...

We recently had Roshniz handle the catering for a big celebration and food was amazing. We had a mix of vegetarian and non- vegetarian starters and some mains and the guests loved all of it. During the tasting session we explained to Shirish how we...

I highly recommend Roshini’s. The food was delicious and fresh and there was so much choice for vegetarians not just the ordinary dishes usually offered. The sharing starter was wonderful, a hard to beat first course. The service was impeccable, we were even given some...

Lovely food, everything was cooked beautifully, service was good, staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

We were fortunate to have Roshini’s catering for our Indian Independence Day party and the whole experience was excellent! Shirish has great attention to detail, from recommending dishes to accounting for even cutlery, and they delivered as promised. The food was mouth watering and all...

What a hidden gem. My husband & a friend called in by chance for an evening meal. Was welcomed by such lovely staff Great menu with the option of ordering something that you wanted that was not on the menu. Food was excellent Freshly cooked...

Roshnisz is very unprepossessing from the outside - just a doorway downstairs in a concrete building. But don't let that put you off. Inside it's well-appointed, spacious and welcoming. The staff were as friendly as could be and attentive. And the food was to die...

Amazing food, very friendly, considerate staff, lovely ambience, just perfect! Highly recommended, a must visit!

We visited on Friday 23rd July and the food was great and the service was very good. The restaurant has been redecorated and refurbished and is definitely worth a visit. Brian from Staines

Good food great service recommended place to enjoy Indian food. Will be back again . Good value and whether delivery or sit in

The food is tasty and the service was lovely. The staff were very attentive and hospitable. Food, in particular the Amritsari fish & Bombay paneer with mushrooms was flavourful. Would come back!

Best Indian food! Everything was so fabulous, especially gobi manchurian, Butter Paneer, and Gulabjamun!!! Faluda was amazing felt like I'm in India!

Went to a birthday party here at Roshni's. The restaurant had great décor, and a good ambience with the Riverside location. Excellent Covid-19 health protocols in place. Staff were very welcoming and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend, a great place to organise birthday parties...

Hosted every birthday party at Roshnis every single time..Couldn't suggest a better place weather its a kids party or adults..

I am ill if I eat onions or garlic. When I order a takeaway, the person who takes the order is able to advise if something is possible for them to cook without onions or garlic. I have now trained them not to garnish with...

I'm an Indian myself. I like Indian food a lot and o don't usually complaint much if the food is bad. But this shop I have to write a review because it's not just bad, it's a utter joke. While I arrived for late lunch,...

Absolutely awful. We had a delivery via a third party delivery service. We spent a lot of money and got burnt food, it was so bad it was black and bitter. Went straight in the bin. I’ve kept pictures. Most of the dishes were bland...

There are no local Indian restaurants in Staines we tried take out on Saturday as a treat - tandoori chicken and mixed grill ( very overpriced but wanted it so ok) overcooked dry and over seasoned to make it inedible - saag paneer so bland...

Staff were really good and took care of us (Thank you Aman!) Great food and they were accommodating with our table requests. It's a pleasant atmosphere and they treated us to some tasty complimentary items. Definitely going back soon!

Food was really lovely and authentic, atmosphere nice and staff really friendly! Perfect dinner for me

Had a great meal last night with a couple of freinds. Nice food, good atmosphere and good Covid-19 health protocols in place. Freindy staff also made for a good experience.

Aman, our waiter, was very tentative and helpful. Amazing food and great experience. 5 out of 5 experience.

Brilliant service from aman and colleagues, amazing food, fab night all round would definitely return!!

One of the best restaurant in our area. Amazing food and best service I have ever seen. Thanks to the team of Roshni for such great food. Special thanks to Aman who serve the best food and complimentary gulab jamun. Thanks

Found this restaurant completely by chance when breaking our journey through LHR due to flight cancellations. What a lovely surprise it was as the outside is pretty unassuming - and I'm being kind! The menu was varied and included dishes we hadn't come across before....

The food, the service, the feel good factor all 100% aman is a great waiter 5 star all round!!! UPPA ROSHNIS!

Great service from amen, the food was incredible. Very reasonable prices bottle of wine and food 50£. I would recommend this restaurant 5*.

Myself, my husband and daughter went for dinner. We tried a few different dishes and they were amazing. Also has a few favorites and as always they didn’t disappoint. Cobra beer on tap. COVID policies followed. Clean and well sanitized. Great staff. Definitely recommend for...

Lovely place. Service was excellent with the waiters very attentive and polite. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended. Most of the dishes are not what you’d find in provincial Indian restaurants in Britain. They are fresher and tastier. Outstanding Indian food. Very different from the standard menu....

Our usual takeaway was really busy so we decided to try Roshni's. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Really tasty and fresh. There was one vegan in our group and everything was very clearly labelled. We will be ordering from here again....

Our family of 5 enjoyed a delicious meal here. Every dish we chose was full of flavour but our favourites were the squid starter and the tarka dahl soup. Really friendly service too. Highly recommended.

What a Great disappointment this place is. Placed order at 9:15pm and got serve starter's at 10:05 and main course at 10:30pm and that's when restaurant wasn't even that busy and staff was just running around like headless chicken. So if you want to gor...

Lovely meal and hospitality. Had a meal it when just out of lockdown. Really tasty food and owner very friendly, staff attentive. Thank you

We went to Roshni's on a Sunday night as a party of 6, for a birthday. We booked our table and mentioned when speaking on the phone that we would be using Meerkat Meals, to make sure it was OK as that's the only reason...

Had amazing time, we hired restaurant for my daughters birthday. Good service and food was amazing all my guest loved ambience. Thanks Sirish, Anil for all the support.

Had a lunch buffer here which had decent options and tasted fine. Do not expect a lot in terms of taste. But it is good for the £10 they charge.

I had ordered food for catering and the food was awesome...samosas, paneer butter masala, dalmakhni and gulab jamun....Everyone enjoyed it and loved the food...Thanks a lot.

Average restaurant, cannot expect high quality service and food. I went here with my wife and th food was OK. Roti was in really bad shape, daal was good. Buffet menu here is limited; there is no variety at all, 1 non veg starter, 2veg...

Booked a table for 27 people for Christmas curry on Thursday 18 Dec. Very friendly manager but other staff's language skills need practice. We opted for the £24 set menu which comprised popadoms, starters, mains and vanilla icecream. Drinks were extra. All the food was...

Having booked a table for Saturday at Roshnis on the preceding Tuesday,the restaurant opted to call me from a random mobile number on Friday afternoon and tell me that my reservation was cancelled due to 'a function'. Very little in the way of apology from...

Inconsiderate, inflexible that’s how i would describe this place. Will definitely not visit it again

On our trip up here, all my partner kept mentioning was how much he really fancied a curry, After searching online, we came across roshnis restaurant, It’s tucked away and hidden, so not really easy to find, We entered the restaurant on a whim to...

We came here last night as a family of 8. We got there at 8:10pm and we didn’t eat our mains until after 10pm! We did get two tandoori platters but we had to wait quite a while for these and I was particularly disappointed...

The food is standard quality but service was very poor. Slow to come and take orders and made errors with our order twice. Not apologetic or keen to correct the error as they felt it was our fault!! Would not go again. Don’t get many...

The main problem with Roshnis is that they did not honour the Meerkat 2 for 1 code, as they insisted it must be shown prior to ordering, whereas the ap states to show code to waiter at time of billing. Therefore the question needs to...

Entered the establishment and was pleasantly surprised at the size / cleanliness. There were 12 gentleman having a work meal, we all ordered starters and drinks which were good. Then it went awful. Two of our group were given their mains and the rest were...

Fair enough, got into this place late on, about 21:45. Had to wait to be served and then we got the big hurry up from kitchen and waiter. Food no better than OK. Note to owner ; close at 21:00 if your staff want the...

Chose this place as it was closest and overall review was 4*. Spicy Poppadoms tasted okayish but I’m guessing they were left over from another service. Food took ages to come out. Had Tandoori Chicken (Half) As was not on the Starter Menu and split...

Honestly the worst restaurant I have been too! We waited 20 minutes for our drinks, then asked to order.. was told to wait.. 20 minutes later someone comes to take our order... 30 minutes later our food still hadn’t arrived.. after questioning it 50 minutes...

Amazing food, pleasant ambience, great service by the staff. The biryani that we had was just delicious ❤️❤️

Never been before but always knew it was there. Glad I’ve tried it and will def come again. We all have our favourite Indian restaurant and I think I may have just found mine

I read lots of positive reviews of this restaurant and was optimistic. Unfortunately when I arrived I was told that the “offers” board outside was three days out of date and those offer were no longer available. I wondered why the offer was still displayed...
