Excellent food! What looks like a traditional style pub, where you can get a pint and watch the tv or sit an enjoy a nice Indian meal is a good alternative to the usual pub grub. We were only passing by and glad we popped in. I would definitely recommend it for a eating.

We celebrated our Golden Wedding at the Six Bells Shinfield where we had a wonderful lunch for 35. Service and food were excellent, staff attentive and helpful. We couldn’t fault anything and everyone went home full of praise for food and service. Thanks to everyone at the Six Bells for making our day so special.

Not the best restaurant we’ve been too. Not very welcoming, no atmosphere and Abrupt staff. Some of the food was very good, but most was sub standard. Big starters and plenty of meat, however the main courses were quite small and tasteless. The onion bhajis were the worst we’ve had. The bill was also one of the dearest we’ve had. Really disappointed as we were looking forward to this place but unfortunately, we won’t be back.

Ashamed to say that despite this being down the road we'd never been here since it reopened and we've missed out. Really good Indian food in a relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff. Much better than other local options for Indian food. We will be back!

Excellent Punjabi Indian food, the lamb chops, chilli mogo, fish tikka, tandoori wings and mixed grill are all excellent. The lamb rara, chicken saag, tadka dhall and masala lamb also fantastic mains. The chicken korma is also a winner for the kids. Great selection of beers and wines from the bar and the service is always excellent. We have been going for a couple of years now and it’s consistently great every time.

Visited here as a family of 5. We weren't impressed with portion size or quality of the food served and found the food to be quite bland for the price tag we expected more and we're very disappointed for our first visit. The service charge added as standard wasn't made aware either.

I (we) now consider this as our local Indian restaurant and our local pub. It's excellent for both food and just a drink. They have done excellent upgrades inside and outside. It now has a fully functional self contained venue area, which can be extended if required. There is plenty of outdoor space and plenty of parking (there's more around the back). It's also nice to see they have plenty of CCTV cameras to help protect themselves, property AND their customers. It's great to see the same staff members, unlike other establishments who have constant changes all the time. The owners have invested a huge amount of time, effort and finances to make this the best restaurant/pub around. Oh, and did I mention that the food and wine are also excellent. Well done 👍.

Worst customer service possible. The aloo parata we ordered had some sand/stones in it. On reporting this to the person (Harsh) he didnt bother much and said that thats how things are when made on a tandoor. He didnt care at all and even made us pay the full amount. Absolutely poor service , a very arrogant person Harsh.

Came here with the family after the lockdown last Saturday and we were impressed with the set up in a marquee outside and all felt Covid safe, tables spread apart and staff all wearing masks. The food was just as fantastic as we had previously pre lockdown. We ordered a tandoori mixed grill and chilli mogo for stater, both of which were fantastic. The mixed grill is stacked with a mountain of lamb chops/fish tikka/tandoori chicken/seekh kebabs and all freshly cooked. The chilli mogo was crispy and tasted freshly cooked not soggy and reheated like a lot of places. For mains we ordered chicken Korma for the kids (never ordered it here before and we were amazed at just how delicious it was). We also ordered our regular lamb Kheema curry and chicken biriyani and Nan breads. Everything tasted fresh and super tasty.Look forward to another visit. Sachin the owner and and the whole team are great hosts. I’m so happy this local Indian restaurant is thriving and making such authentic North Indian food- nothing like the typical ‘Indian’ restaurants you find in the area. Highly recommend it.

I would leave zero stars if I could. The food we ordered was mediocre for the price. To make it worse it’s not even authentic.... you should not call yourself a Indian restaurant. There will be casualties in the restaurant trade as a result of the current economic turmoil. The service we received was absolutely disgusting from the owner. After popping to the bathroom, I find the staff gossiping next to the till like they were playing Chinese whispers. Personally there were a few staff that tried going above and beyond. but the owner was just being a egotistic and should treat there customers with dignity.

As soon as we entered very confrontational and made to feel like burden. Very poor service defiantly wouldn’t recommend. Made to pay for our drinks the second we sat down which I’ve never experienced before. The track and trace was a joke one rule for one and one for another . There was no alternative to a member of our party who didn’t own a smart phone for track and trace but the moments later another party strolled in without doing so. The young lady and the other gentleman tried to redeem the service but little to late. When we question the the service charge they all hid behind the bar like told off schoolchildren. We had no solution to refunding our service charge. I would 100% not recommend this terrible place to anybody. The place is an absolute shambles the fact they can have customer facing establishment with having such poor customer service skills in mind boggling. Food below average.

I've pretty much tried every Indian restaurant and take away this side of Reading. But I didn't even know the Six Bells was serving Indian cuisine until today! My loss!The food is superb. Well cooked, excellent flavours, great portions and great delivery service and on time too. In my opinion the food is only surpassed by the Tamarind Tree (my favourite restaurant), but only just. I will definately be ordering from here again and hopefully we'll be able to eat in within a few months.Thoroughly recommended. Really.

I was expecting a great deal at this place, unfortunately it failed to meet my expectations! I only enjoyed the chilli mogo chips from the dishes I ordered. The vegetable biryani had excess garam masala and definitely not the clay pot dum biryani that is mentioned in their menu. Chilli chicken and kadai paneer was very average as well. On the whole I wouldn't recommend this place for authentic Indian cuisine!

I don’t usually write reviews but the owners of this pub have got there food service spot on. Firstly, there Indian menu is exactly how Indian food should be. Right spices, herbs & flavours. Nothing is missed out. Secondly, they have always delivered when they have said, never late and the food is received still hot. Anyone looking for a new Indian takeaway or restaurant to eat from try it from here you won’t be disappointed.

Pedí comida para llevar desde aquí muchas veces y también cenamos. La comida india es fantástica y súper fresca. Esta es la auténtica cocina india, NO bengalí o bangladesí, como parece ser el 90% de los restaurantes llamados "indios" de esta zona. Tikka de pescado y alas de tandoori siempre sabrosas y perfectamente cocinadas. La parrillada mixta es una porción enorme y lo suficientemente fácil para 2 - 3 personas. El mogo también es crujiente y sabroso. Los platos principales de cordero masala con hueso y el pollo con mantequilla tandoori especial con curry de huesos (pregunte a los camareros) son de primera categoría. El biryani de pollo y cordero también es excelente y está bien cocinado con raita. Gran selección de bebidas y tienen un parque infantil al aire libre para los niños. Altamente recomendado. No estoy seguro de cómo es el menú en inglés, pero probablemente iría a otro lugar si eso fuera lo que quisiera, se trata de la increíble comida india aquí.

Hemos visitado Six Bells en varias ocasiones desde que reabrieron después del cierre, principalmente para la comida india. Siempre nos ha impresionado el servicio y la calidad de la comida y nos encanta especialmente el entrante de pollo tikka, que es casi una comida principal en sí misma. Sí, el menú en inglés es mucho más básico en este momento, lo cual es comprensible, y muchos de los camareros parecen ser bastante nuevos en el trabajo. Pero dicho esto, siempre hemos tenido una gran experiencia allí y continuaremos visitando en el futuro.

Fui anoche por primera vez desde el cambio del caballo hambriento. Nada cambió realmente y, en algunos casos, el bloqueo donde se ha cerrado, habría pensado que al menos podrían haber cortado el césped y hacer que se viera mejor. A nuestra llegada, nos dieron una mesa y solo 1 menú inglés y 1 indio entre 9 de nosotros. Estos tampoco eran copias en papel que pensé que debía tener Covid. La comida era mala, no hay nada que destacar. 3 adultos comieron bistec que era como goma y por el costo de 20 libras era basura las patatas fritas donde se secan las setas y las duras rocas. Los nuggets de pollo para niños y las patatas fritas estaban demasiado cocidos y duros. 2 adultos tenían sabores indios diferentes a los de tu indio normal, estaba bien, pero las pociones eran muy pequeñas por 10 libras cada una. Luego le cobraron a mi suegro 22 un cargo por servicio y no le avisaron hasta después. Comida muy cara por nada agradable, las cucharas húmedas hacen mejor comida. No volveré

Sin embargo, he estado allí antes, cuando visité ayer el servicio fue normal, la comida estaba fría y el pescado no parecía estar bien cocinado. Además, cuando fui al mostrador para pagar la cuenta, me dijeron que la cerveza tenía un precio de escurrimiento y pagué 14. 98 por 3 pintas de IPA (precios de Londres?) La cantidad por el precio estaba bien. Además, tienen un menú para niños, pero dijeron que están ocupados, por lo que solo prepararán comida frita y no comidas en inglés. ¿Qué sentido tiene eso para que nos viéramos obligados a comer basura?

He comido aquí a menudo, siempre cenado.Ordenando por primera vez una comida para llevar, el 22 de julio de 2020, que resultó ser bastante decepcionante.Chilli Garlic Mogo - no crujiente. De hecho bastante suave. Podría ser por estar enllevar contenedor. No está mal, pero podría haberlo hecho con más hojuelas de chile. Bhajia crujiente mezclado: nunca entendí eso, en su lugar, se cortaron 2 cebollas Bhajia en cuartos, para que parecieran 8 piezas, y se hornearon nuevamente. No está bien. Si no tuvieran el crujiente mezclado, Bhajia debería habérnoslo dicho. Encontré esto engañoso.Chicken Dansak: pidió que estuviera más caliente. No lo fue. De hecho, bastante soso. Peshawari Naan - realmente agradable y suavePilau Rice - estaba bien.Tarka Daal: sin sabor y sin sabor.No volvería a pedir una comida para llevar.El cocinero que reemplaza el crujiente bhajia mezclado con 2 cebollas bhajia cortadas en cuartos puede no ser un gran problema, pero es el engaño lo que encuentro totalmente equivocado.Podría haberlo conducido y llevarlo de regreso, pero ¿podría confiar en que el cocinero realmente me daría lo que me cobraron? No lo creo.¡Si quisiera Onion Bhajia, eso es lo que habría pedido!

Elegimos el menú en inglés (tengo entendido que también sirven cocina india y tienen excelentes críticas al respecto). El entrante tenía un sabor bastante suave, como si estuviera calentado comida congelada. Un elemento del plato (gambas) estaba tan duro que uno se salió de la mesa cuando intenté cortarlo. Se anunciaba como "langostinos con salsa tártara", pero la salsa acababa de llegar en bolsitas (en la misma bandeja que el ketchup y el vinagre). El bistec del plato principal tenía una gran textura pero sabía a cartón. Lo acompañaba un tomate frito frío y champiñones sobre cocidos, con las mismas (lo que parecían ser) chips de horno como el entrante. La "salsa de maíz con pimiento verde" tenía un sabor bastante inusual, pero le dio un poco de sabor al bistec. En general, el lugar tiene un ambiente agradable con un personal servicial y la cerveza era excelente. PERO, si cree que podría haber cocinado mejor en casa, se siente decepcionado.

We recently moved to Spencers Wood and ordered a takeaway delivery from The Six Bells after having heard good things from friends and family. Have ordered three or four times since and have been impressed every time. The food is authentic North Indian/ Punjabi not Bengladeshi food. For starters we have tried the Garlic mogo which comes super crispy and have an amazing taste. The Papri Chaat which my wife loves. Highly recommend the Lamb Chops which are huge and a big starter portion, the Fish Tikka is so soft, perfectly cooked and the tandoori chicken wings were perfectly charred yet the meat tender. We have also tried the mixed grill which comes with these items plus sheekh kebabs and chicken tikka and is a huge portion enough for two or three people. For mains we would recommend the lamb Kheema, lamb rara, Methi chicken and butter chicken. Also highly recommend the lamb and chicken biriyanis which were excellent. All the food was piping hot and delivered promptly. Free popadoms every time we have ordered is a nice touch. Ordered directly from the website as you get 10% discount via the website. Sachin the owner is super friendly and very helpful and will happily adapt dishes to your liking.

I originally hail from the West Midlands where there are many “desi” pubs. I used to go to the Three Tuns in Slough or the Regency in London to get the “mixed grill”.The indian food here is pretty nice in a family friendly atmosphere. The service I think is getting better, they do better when it is a bit quieter.

People in our neighbourhood recommended this place now that it has changed ownership and became a curry house / regular pub > best of both worlds. Me and my son went to try it on Saturday. We had a Korma and Butter Chicken plus some somosas. The food was VERY TASTY. It gives Royal Tandoori in Reading a run for its money. Very friendly staff, good atmosphere. Can't wait to go back to this new favourite place for good Northern Indian cuisine.

Extremely rude staff. Firstly, the staff who served us didn’t mention there’s a huge king prawn in the non-veg starter platter in spite of us asking specifically for its content. One of my friend is allergic to it and that evening was completely spoilt for her due to this. On top of this, the staff went into a complete denial mode. Then another member of staff started serving us in an extremely rude manner, making obnoxious comments over our little birthday celebrations. Food was just ok but highly priced. Poor ambience, not so great food, worst service we ever experienced. Would never recommend.

Acabo de regresar de las Six Bells muy impresionado. 3 de nosotros fuimos a cenar después de haber oído hablar de la creciente reputación y no nos decepcionó. Menú bastante estándar pero la calidad era excelente. Las opciones de menú no indias también están disponibles. Elegí pollo jalfrezi condimentado al calor de Madrás y fue perfecto. El pollo saag era rico y cremoso. La estrella del espectáculo fue definitivamente el Tarka Dahl. Absolutamente excelente con matices ahumados profundos. ¡Podría haber comido 2 porciones de eso solo! Un lugar encantador y espacioso con mucho espacio entre las mesas. También noté un área de juegos para niños afuera para cuando llega el clima más cálido y seco. Este lugar solía ser un caballo hambriento y su reputación no era excelente. Ahora está creciendo en popularidad como un lugar de primera clase para 1 comida india de clase callejera. Espero volver a probar los otros platos, pero siempre pediré las lentejas.

Visit twice since it changed from a hungry horse pub both times the staff were rude and very very unwelcoming first time just after it reopened and stood in an empty bar apart from 4 people sat at a tabel, the bar man never egnoleged us once just stood laughing and chatting with whst looked like his friends on the table after 5 min we left and he still never noticed us. 2nd attemt to see if its changed any on sunday same attittude from the staff three behind the bar pub 80% empty, No eye contact no agnolegement for over 5 min when eventualy served he was misserable as Sin and very rude. Other couples were seen asking if you orderd at the bar or had table service they were there before us and ended up walking out disgruntled it seemed they only talked to or agnoleged indian people and were rude to the English, then to top it off the pint of abbots ale i had tasted disgusting and left a nasty taste in my mouth for hours after god knows how they clean theyer beer lines if at all. GREEN KING a year ago at the same time of day this pub was packed and you couldnt get a table the staff were cheerfull and the beer was good i think this is the wrong sort of pub for the Area and definatly needs to change the employees if they worked for me they would of been sacked by now. Will never reccomend this pub in a million years in its current set up.

We have been visiting this pub for a while and now under new management it become a very interesting place. It's something like a traditional British pub with an oriental flavor. I prefer a traditional food, but even just cod and chips they are cooking with a bit of spices and it's nice! On top of it, you can get all ales and ciders from the bar.

Visited The Six Bells during a quiet evening. Although branded as a Greene King site it is under new management and is now a curry house which also serves British classics. The curry’s themselves are fantastic, brilliant flavour and great value for money - potentially some of the best Indian food I have had in Reading! The new manager is enthusiastic about building a fresh reputation and is clearly developing the staff and site. Once the service has developed as the staff become more comfortable and knowledgable The Six Bells will be on its way towards earning 5 stars. I look forward to returning again soon.

The place is a little hidden away, but a real gem. I’m very glad to have found it and will be eating my way through their menu shortly. I’ve tried the jalfrezi so far which has lots of fresh vegetables and is cooked in quite a light sauce, spiced with green chilli. The plain naan are excellent and a good deal at £2.25. I have a sweet tooth after a spicy curry, and love to order gulab jamun for desert. They serve it in the simple traditional way with hot syrup and pistachios - Perfect.

Received a great welcome. Service was brilliant and my vegan son and daughter-in-law had good knowledgeable advice for appropriate choice from the menu. Choice was given for a chosen vegan dish and any allergies checked out. Will definitely visit again when visiting, deserves local support.

Esto es lo que le ha faltado a Reading: un pub que sirve cocina india. Estos tipos de establecimientos son comunes en partes del Reino Unido con grandes poblaciones indias como Leicester y partes del norte de Londres.

Vine aquí para un almuerzo de pub y rápidamente me di cuenta de que ahora es un auténtico pub / restaurante de comida india.

Another fantastic meal, fresh and full of flavour, definitely my favourite place to go for authentic Indian cuisine. Some lovely new staff including Lauradana (hope I spelt your name correctly) and another young man who unfortunately didn't get his name but was very endearing all the same. So pleased this is our local restaurant, be back very soon. Satchin you're doing a fantastic job!

Ate here on 24 March having heard good things about it. Opted for the Indian menu and no one was disappointed. Good variety on the menu, staff were very friendly and food excellent. Really pleased we chose this restaurant for our night out. Would recommend.

Visited on Saturday night with friends, couldn’t hear ourselves think. I’m all for a good atmosphere in a pub but to have constant bad language, people shouting and kids running around your table playing is not acceptable. The management tolerate it because it equals revenue, that’s all that matters to them. I complained about this and waiting over an hour for our food which I had to go to the bar to find out where it was. Had to keep going to the bar to get drinks. Service is poor, management is poor! They took nothing off the bill and still had the audacity to put a service charge on!! I couldn’t be bothered to argue it because if it was genuine and they wanted repeat business then would not have been charged in the first place. I just won’t go back again, very disappointed. The lamb bhuna is just bones, didn’t get offered deserts. Had to chase up for the bill to get out of the place. Won’t be going here again

Used to randomly visit here on a Monday night with old school friends to do the pub quiz when it was a hungry horse so just to be clear this place is now a definite curry house, if you want Pub type food then you have to ask for separate menu with limited choice of dishes.

The meat in my lamb biryani was mainly bones, and this and the other biryani were rather dry, even with the raita. The chicken tikka masala was in just a tomato sauce, without that exotic tickle. The jalfrezi was fine. The papadoms and chutneys to start were the best part of the meal. But the meal certainly didn't warrant a service charge of over 10%.

I have previously eaten at the Hungry Horse Stonegallows Inn Taunton, the HH is traditional english pub food, I have always had very good food and service and the meal has been good value for money, hence my decision to go to the Six Bells Shinfield. We arrived on a Saturday around 1pm, when we walked in there was one table with three people and another one other person eating. We sat down, we were swiftly handed our menu's, the Indian food menu and the pub food menu. The pub food menu was basic, and completely different from any other HH menu. We ordered, one blt with chips, one burger with chips and one ham egg and chips. The food arrived the presentation was poor. The salad was a tiny bit of shredded lettuce with some shredded carrot, the burger looked cheap and nasty, was luke warm and half the size of the bun. The blt was served in cheap white bread, the chips were warm and some were under cooked, the ham was chewy,. We were very, very disappointing. My partner went to the bar to pay and explained our dissatisfaction with the meal, the man had a total dismissive attitude and asked if we would be back. That's a definite NO. I think that the Six Bells really should not be serving British pub food and ws a real let and disappointment for us and a let down for the HH brand.

This restaurant / pub is by far the best Indian food you will find in the local area. The pub has recently been rennovated and you would not expect it to offer such an amazing Indian menu but it does! If you do not like Indian food then that is fine because they also have normal pub menu with all the pub classics. We will be back very soon. The service was excellent. Everything is very clean including the toilets which have been done to a nice standard. All in all, a great pub and you should definitely visit if you want a proper Indian meal not the usual takeaway rubbish.

I visited with some friends for my birthday and all of us thought the food was authentic and tasted amazing. The owner was great company and spent time talking to us and sharing stories. I would highly recommend visiting if you enjoy Indian food. We liked it so much we came back again the next day!!!

This place has recently re opened as an Indian and is just what the area needs. The staff are really friendly and the food was amazing. Really fresh, full of flavour and not oily at all. We had the jalfrezi and the madras and both were really good. The turbo nann was lovely. We will definitely be back again soon.

Second visit to Six Bells this week as the food was so delicious on first visit and certainly not disappointed tonight. Sachin and his colleagues are lovely and make time to come and check that everything is ok. Have already booked to come back next week. Good reviews are starting to attract more people and I have no doubt that you will have to book to get a table in the not too distant future. Highly recommended.

The old Six Bells is gone and it has been renovated to become a lovely little pub serving North Indian cuisine. Had a great lunch, especially recommend the butter chicken and saag chicken and the lamb biriyani.

Now refreshed as a gastropub specialising in North Indian food, this was a wonderful meal out. The food is all freshly cooked with nothing frozen, and it shows. The fried items like samosas and bhajis are crispy without being greasy, and the curries are divine. Upon ordering, we received poppadoms with homemade dips (the mint has a surprising kick). Service was brilliant; because it's a new restaurant they are still low on staff, but also fairly quiet so it wasn't a trouble, and Sachin was excellent and happy to explain dishes to us. This was the overhaul the Six Bells needed, with quality prioritised in both food and service, so definitely check it out if you're in the mood for delicious food.

Interested to see the newly refurbed pub and try a different Indian. Nicely decorated inside. Although not very busy for food there was a nice atmosphere. Had a good meal and it was fresh tasting and not heavy on the ghee. Complimentary popadoms which were replenished. Good price wine by glass. Really enjoyed and will be back. Pub and Indian together - a nice experience.

The old Hungry Horse Six Bells is no more (no suprise, as no one acted on customer reviews) and is now a nicely renovated Indian Restaurant and soon will also serve traditional pub type food as well. It's only been open for about 10 days and are still fine tweaking things, so it's not up and fully running yet. Anyway, we have been twice and the staff are friendly and I cannot fault the food. However, I just cannot get my head round their menu pricing, especially the starters which are priced at full main meal prices, so I expect this needs to be reviewed or it will not attract returning customers. We intend going back when they are fully staffed and have a full menu finalised. Although their food is nice, unless they review their Indian food selection menu prices, we will not be returning, which will be a shame. I thought Miahs was overpriced, however, they are pretty cheap compared to these prices. So a bit of advice to the owner, review your prices or it will simply not work. Good luck.

Came here for a meal with my 3 children, friends and their children. The man at the bar was welcoming then all changed very quickly. The food I ordered was all on deals ( not that they told is we had to say!) Our food arrived in no more than 5 minutes!!!! Half was uncooked and the £6.99 salad came with wilted leaves and quater of a chicken breast which looked like it had been cooked last week. I took my children to the toilet and the kitchen door was open and I saw not one member of the kitchen team was wearing a hair nets or hats and looked absolutely filthy. Needless to say I will never set foot in the place again. The only people who should arrive is environmental health!!

We were invited by friends to celebrate a 50th birthday, a table of 16 people which was booked by telephone for 7pm. Upon arrival, we were advised by a staff member the booking hadn't been written down. By 8pm, we still weren't all seated, as there were no tables available to make up to the 16. When I asked, I why an empty table couldn't be added I was told the man had already told one of the party what was happening. A waitress said 'It's a small pub'. Yes it was, but if that's the case, upon booking they should have advised it wouldn't be possible to book a large party in.

Had to wait almost 2 hours for delivery, when arrived, was stone cold. Also, we didn't even get an apology for the lateness of delivery. Wouldn't recommend to friends or family?
