Heard the Six bells had a new owner and thought my wife and I would give it a go. It was a lovely night out and a great way to celebrate the end of lockdown. Superb food, attentive staff, and an air of youth and optimism about the place. Will definitely go again.

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.

Horrible service. Rude. Over price for shocking quality and had the cheek to put service charge on our bill. Definitely don’t recommend this. Miahs is round the corner which is 100% better. Walked in and they were talking about our party behind the bar and laughing.

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.

Fui a Six Bells a cenar con mi familia. La comida es ridículamente cara y además han cobrado un cargo por servicio. la comida está bien, pero no tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. Cubiertos estaban por encima de incluso el 50% de las mesas estaban vacías. El personal está bien, pero parece que están confundidos en todo.

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.

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.

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.

Fuimos a una comida familiar para encontrar que la mesa reservada estaba configurada para la mitad del número de personas. Los pedidos se confundieron (comida / costados incorrectos), así como todos los filetes cocinados en exceso (a petición de medio / medio raro y todo vino bien hecho). Ni siquiera se pudo obtener la orden de helados bien.

Mi madre y yo nos detuvimos aquí para ir al baño y estábamos planeando comer algo mientras estábamos allí. . . . . . Pero no llegamos tan lejos. En primer lugar, el lugar tiene una gran necesidad de redecoración, el lugar es raído y de aspecto rudo. Hay cuatro baños, dos de ellos tenían cerraduras defectuosas, uno no tenía luz y el cuarto era aceptable. Había tres dispensadores de lavado de manos, pero dos de ellos no tenían nada en ellos. Lo reporté y dejé a la joven para arreglar eso. Mientras la mamá decidía qué comer, fui al bar a buscar las bebidas. Me dieron dos copas, las cuales estaban sucias, así que pedí otras dos copas, pero otra vez las dos estaban sucias. Pedí un paño para limpiarlos, pero no hizo ninguna diferencia (ojalá hubiera tomado fotos). Así que le dije a la mamá que no había manera de que fuera a comer allí si ni siquiera podían darme vasos limpios.

We visited on a Sunday evening and found one member of staff particularly rude. So much so that I asked my family if they'd noticed me say anything that could have been interpreted as rude but no, she was just plain rude! Everything seemed like a chore to her, not at all helpful, huffing and puffing as if me placing an order was inconveniencing her! The food I ordered wasn't available so I chose something else. My son chose a vegan option from the menu but I was told "that's not on my till". Right?? So...What now? Do you have it available in the kitchen though, was my reply. "No". And then she walked off to get our drinks. When the food arrived it was just about ok. I enjoyed my burger and the chips were nice but my 'medium rare' steak you can clearly see was over well done! The peppers and onions were cremated! The rest of the group didn't particularly enjoy their food.

I come in quite regularly to the Six Bells and am normally always very happy with their service! However, i have noticed there is a new girl that now works there. I have to say she is very rude , she didnt smile once when i was there which makes her really unapproachable. Her language is appalling, its a family restaurant yet she is F*img and blinding very often. Its a shame because all the other staff have always been so lovely, maybe managers need to have a think about what to do with certain staff.

I came into the pub and the lady behind the bar which was vicky was serving everyone she asked another member of staff which was called jess which was doing herself coffee to make 2 coffees for a customer so she can carry on serving others but she replied by saying "no I don't start for another 10 minutes" so that meant vicky has to do the coffees and that lead to customers leaving because they have to wait, so in total you have good staff like vicky but some of the rest of the staff like jess couldn't be bothered to help another member of staff out and didn't represent the pub well

Me and my wife visited the Six Bells Tuesday 11th September where myself and my wife planned to have dinner. We went to the bar to order a drink, where we noticed something wasn't quite right with the lady serving us. It wasn't until she started speaking to us that it became apparent she was drinking on shift, as the smell of alcohol when she was talking to us was strong! This is not acceptable behaviour for staff to be drinking while serving and also illegal! It is a family environment which makes the situation even worse. The reason I have given 2 stars and not 1 is because the food was good for hungry horse standards. The management need to sort this issue out otherwise I will be going to head office with my complaint. How many times will staff get away with this unseen.

Came to Burger King for the first time today, me mother and I both ordered a halloumi burger as it was recommended to me by a friend. Service was prompt however, upon driving away and going to pick out the lettuce I noticed there was roughly 5 pieces of bacon in my burger. My mother had the same in hers too. Being both vegetarian we were naturally mortified and went back to get a change. The manager tried to convince us that this was our own mistake (why would we order bacon on a vegetarian burger?) and was reluctant to give a refund (offered us £1 at the most). We informed him many times that this was not our mistake and that we both can not eat meat. Upon returning home having now eaten our replacement burger. I looked online only to find that the halloumi burger is cooked in the same oils as chicken and fish. We are both absolutely mortified. This wasn’t made clear to us at ordering and the manager did not inform us about it at all. Having worked in restaurants myself, I know how important cross contamination is and I know it’s hard having to deal with complaints however, this was handled incredibly unprofessionally and judging by other reviews of this place - this isn’t a one off. Please be aware.
