Teign Indian Cuisine in Teignbridge

The best curry we’ve ever had-fact! Friendly service and excellent food. The restaurant is very small so did feel a bit cramped but it did not detract from the experience. I wish we lived closer so we could go more often!

Best Indian food in Devon probably. Meats were tender and juicy. Service was good and friendly. Book in advance!

This place looks small and unsuspecting, but I have to say the food and service is superb. A mixture of starters and main courses, all delicious. The side of saag aloo was simply the best that I have ever tasted ! A super nice restaurant.

Great place with delicious fresh food and good service. Been here a few times and it has never disappointed. Love the fact it is so tiny that you have to wait outside until the table is ready, and that one man is serving everybody. Great!

Brilliant experience, great service with lovely people! You instantly become welcome. I would very highly recommend

Very small, but food was excellent and very very tasty. Just be aware it's cash only

Definitely one of the best Indian meals I have ever had. The restaurant may be small, but not cramped. The service is quick and friendly, and while the menu is not very detailed, the explanations of the dishes is perfect. If ever in Teignmouth again, would definitely revisit, but best to book in advance. The waiter was even tolerant of my wife's accident with a crisp onion bhaji, which resulted in it becoming airborne.

Very good Indian restaurant Small but delivers high quality Indian food Would definitely visit again if in area Worth booking as only have 18 covers Only drawback is they only accept cash But cash machine 2 mins away

We knew this restaurant must be good when we walked past and it was full but another Indian around the corner was empty. The Tripadvisor reviews confirmed it so we gave them a call and they fitted us in later that evening. The menu put us off initially as it was just a list of dishes with no descriptions or even indication of heat level. However the waiter came over and described each dish and told us that most could be tailored to the strength that suited us. The food was delicious. The poppadoms were served warm and the mixed pickle was the best we’ve tasted. The curries we ordered were among the best (if not the best) we’ve ever had although I found the garlic nan to be a little on the dry side and not overly flavoursome. All in all we had a fantastic meal and would definitely return. Attentive service (although only a couple of tables taken while we were there), nice wine, fantastic food and reasonable prices. It is worth mentioning that payment must be cash. We weren’t aware of this but luckily had enough with us.

Very friendly owner, however it felt really awkward when we walked in, there was one other table and due to it being such a small space some music would’ve really helped made the atmosphere a lot nicer. Felt like we couldn’t have a private conversation. Napkins were wet. Also didn’t take card and had to go and get some cash out. Wasn’t the date night that was hoped for but never mind!

Strange one this as the food was pretty good. It's just that many parts of the restaurant are covered in really thick grime, filth and dirt. Like severely bad. The white light switch and wall by the bar are visibly filthy. They're supposed to be white but they're stained grey from pure grime. The toilets are the same, with stained walls and all the surfaces thick with dirt and grime. Although we enjoyed the food, unfortunately the experience of looking at the dirt and grime made my fiance and me feel really quite sick. It made us wonder what the hygiene levels are actually like behind that curtain in the kitchen. Basic levels of hygiene and cleanliness are massively lacking here and it's clear to see.

Called in on the off chance,lovely quaint place with such a lovely atmosphere,staff excellent and welcoming,food was brilliant and would definitely would recommend this Indian restaurant,great experience looking forward to our next visit,such a friendly place with good service and food

What a pleasure. Fabulous meal and evening. Well worth a visit.Book in advance. Thanks to the great staff for a beautiful meal

Mohammad was coping solo in the little restaurant, with a big party of ten, our table of 4 and a further table of two. He was at full stretch, but coping very well with the service of drinks, food, bday cake etc! Excellent food (3 main dishes between 4 plus sides) tho all seemingly with similar tomato-based sauce. Thanks too to the 2 chefs quietly beavering away in the small kitchen. Amazing quality, including the shared peshwari naan.

Had one of the best , if not the best curries that my wife and I have ever had, absolutely delicious. I wish we had this restaurant back home.

Wow I wasn't expecting it to be so good. My daughter took me out for a meal tonight and it was really good food, the host was very polite and caring. I had the chicken pasanda and it was delicious and the sweet nan was cooked to perfection. I will be back for more soon.

Great place small and personalble, good food great personal service great food we will return

There were four of us for a meal and it's a very tight squeeze as only a tiny place. Literally fits in only 14 at the most. We ordered the meal and I asked for chips and when the food was served I was told there wasn't any chips. No alternative was offered so just had the curry on its own. Should have been informed before the food was served so I could order something else.

Absolutely fabulous, lovely intimate environment, food was amazing, friendly with great service. Good prices. Will definitely go again!

Really lovely food and atmosphere. The waiter was very attentive. Good selection of food and drinks available. Portion sizes are generous and food was the best Indian we have had locally. Would recommend and looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you.

Food was amazing, and the service was great Tiny restaurant, very intimate but didn't feel intrusive. We had the lamb tikka pasanda, the chicken jalfrezi, tarka dal and pilau rice, all freshly cooked and delicious. Would happily go again!

Some of the best indian food ive ever eaten. Really good prices also.

Best curry you'll ever eat! We have been coming here every year while on holiday for many years and it is always beautifully cooked, wonderful tasting, good quality cuisine, every single time! It's still the best curry we've ever had anywhere in the uk. It's worth mentioning that you need to book ahead as it's very popular and only seats around 12, which is part of the beauty of this place. Its intimate dining, with a lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Highly recommended!

Lovely night, delicious food. Good service. Responsible priced. Would definitely recommend this curry house!

Small restaurant, so you will need to book in advance but worth the trouble, great food, good atmosphere, just a heads up it's cash only,

A very small restaurant seating for 16 only. The food was was very good, but the service wasn’t the best, only the one waiter who we found to be a little off hand. Half the drinks came out and having waited ages for the rest, we had to ask again for them. The choice of drinks was very limited, having run out of a drink a fellow customer had recommended. The starters came at the same time as the poppadoms, I would have preferred a gap. We didn't realise it was cash only, luckily we had just enough to cover the bill. We didn’t notice the small sign in the window until the waiter had pointed it out to us. The toilet facilities were of a very poor standard, only one available for both men & women to use, a tiny space to squeeze into with a very poor hand washing area, really let the place down.

It feels like you are dining in someone's living room, and it's fantastic! The food is incredible and that's what you are there for, everything else is secondary. This is one of those "hole in the wall" places that you hear people rave about, do not pass it by.

A small restaurant full of regulars and locals seemed like an OK place to visit but Mo, the waiter, was really off-hand with us. The food was quite nice but the service was appalling. Asked four times for a glass of water to go with my wine... starter came with the poppadums. Watched how our half eaten pickles were being recycled for the next custimer. We didn't realise that this was interestingly a cash only place WITH hand written bill but were told it was our fault for not reading the notice in the window.

Only a tiny little restaurant . Only probably fit 12 /16 people at a push. Only one gentleman at the front taking orders and drinks. Two chefs at the back. The food I have to say was very tasty and excellent but can be pricey. Be aware you can only pay cash..

Great food and plenty of it, Mohammed was a gentleman nothing too much for him. Go early to get a good seat.

The food was excellent 5/5 But the service was very poor. The waiter was friendly enough but he was constantly distracted chatting with his colleagues. The order has to be ordered in a certain way and was taken an hour in to our visit, the drinks took 30 minutes to come, when we reordered drinks he brought 2 of them then charred again for 10 minutes before bringing the other two. When he asked if we wanted a refill on the starter dips we said no, 15 minutes later we had run out of a couple of things so asked for a refill after all which was treated by the waiter rudely. Also, although there was a sign on the door that said cash only we weren’t told about it at the start of the meal. I even phoned up and he asked me if it was my first time so when I said yes it seemed liked the perfect opportunity to tell me about this. Overall I have to recommend because the food was that good but the service was a real let down.

Wow what amazing birthday meal we had with our friends, its a very small restaurant with 16 covers. The owner is extremely attentive , the wine choices are brilliant. The food was so tasty , the meat moist and non fatty ( I had a lamb dish ). We will return , thankyou 😉

This is by far the best Indian restaurant in Teignmouth, if not Devon. Mohammed and his chef prepare all their food freshly and the flavours are delicious. The restaurant is extremely small, seating only 15 people, so you get to talk to the other diners. Highly recommended.

Quite positively the smallest restaurant I've been in but one of the best curry's I've had.

Here just for the day, had a wonderful meal and the service and cooking was excellent, cannot fault it.

My wife and I booked a table here on Saturday night just to try somewhere new. We were not disappointed - the food was outstanding, easily one of the best Indian meals I've had. The restaurant is tiny, so book a table, but it's a great place. The service was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back soon, and we will bring friends.

I have been to this Indian restaurant 3 times now, once with my husband & two more times with two different friends. Each time i ordered different dishes & they were all fantastic. So much flavour & excellent quality produce. Because it's rustic & authentic Indian it's a cut above most other Indian restaurants Definitely the best Indian in Teignmouth Please note they don't take cards only cash and you need need to book ahead as it's a very lovely, small & quant restaurant with great ambience Will definitely visit again very soon

This a tiny place. Only about 16 covers. However food and service are really excellent at a reasonable price. Cash only so be prepared!

Best by far, delicious .. but gotta book and cash only..

8 of us booked into this tiny little restraunt in Teignmouth, following a recommendation . We were not disappointed. Very good food, service and at a reasonable price. Will go again. One point, they do not take cards - cash only

Excellent little restaurant giving you the feeling of real personal service and superb food. Not many covers so booking essential and it's cash payment only. There are 3 Indian restaurants in Teignmouth but this our one of choice.

The food was good, but the service was absolutely atrocious, and really slow. My stomach was fragile so I ordered a starter to come with everybody else's mains. The waiter rolled his eyes at me and scoffed when I ordered, as if I was being an outrageous imposition to him. I received way too much food for a starter, couldn't eat even a third of it, and in the end I was charged for a main. So SO rude. Not coming back here.

Service polite, food very average.

Hidden little gem. Great food and service. Good prices. Please note the only take cash payments.

The best Indian I’ve ever had. The food was incredible and the staff were so lovely. Yes it’s small but that just adds to atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Teignmouth or Devon in general.

we always go here and the food is always gorgeous, we’ve brought friends and family and they’ve all loved it, the owner is a lovely guy and it’s such a nice little restaurant!!

We are usually disappointed in finding a decent curry outside of our home town of Birmingham, not so here. A couple of locals recommended this place to us and we were really pleased they did. Generous portions, authentic dishes and beautifully spiced food. Cobra on draught too which was a bonus. All reasonably priced and a great character of a waiter. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

This has to be one of the best curry’s we’ve ever eaten. Absolutely delicious and the leftovers tasted even better the next day. The only thing that let this restaurant down was the toilet. Just not good enough to have such a poor (unclean) facility with a soap bar that was so old, it had cracked around the edges.

Benn going for years never let's me down.

Very nice food, it’s small so you must book. My friend had a pram which was fine but difficult to manoeuvre and no where for her to feed her baby so she had to leave early. It was busy so a shame we felt quite rushed. We hadn’t seen each other in a while but were told they needed the table back. Also no card machine so you need to take cash.

Couple of days visiting Teignmouth and this was the Indian restaurant recommended by a number of people we met. Certainly different - very, very small with, I think seven tables, Delightful, friendly member of staff who seemed to be doing everything front of house. The food was very good but not exceptional though I single out the excellent onion bajee but not the very thin and uninspiring paratha. This restaurant seems to have a cult following and is extremely popular requiring you to book to guarantee a seat

Came upon this restaurant by chance on a Friday evening. It looked full as only a small place but the owner had had a cancellation and found us a table for two.The food was some of the nicest I’ve had in an Indian restaurant especially...

Dined here twice on visits to Teignmouth this summer, this is a top place, great menu, really nice food and service by Mohammed is excellent. The prices are very reasonable and a good drinks choice too, it’s a small restaurant but has a good vibe,...

5 of us went for a meal this evening. Everyone was happy with their meal. Decent prices. Fragrant byriani, prawn curry and vegan dishes. Small family restaurant. They only take cash or bank transfer. Will be back

Wonderful food. Good portions. Best Indian in a long while.

One one the best Indian Restaurants I have had the pleasure of reading at. Only downside is that it's cash only, no card. The food was amazing though!!

It is a very 'cosy' restaurant but seems friendly. The service is good, I think it was Mo who did all front of house and he was efficient and friendly. But the food was the star, just lovely desi style. This is a lot better...

came as holiday visitors and booked in advance as the restaurant is small and was fairly full on a midweek evening with locals as well as tourists which must be a good sign. We had a splendid meal at a fair price and see why...

Had a party booked here to attend for this weekend for 11, which was booked 4 weeks ago. Had a call today saying that the manager has taken another booking so cancelling our booking, no apology, asked why and said because you may not arrive. Just said it was cancelled and it is the Manager's decision. This is very poor customer service and would avoid this place as their attitude stinks! They have no care or concern, just be cautious that this could happen to you.

Had a great meal with good friends the place is easy to find and the staff are friendly.

The restaurant is small but the food is excellent as is the service. Couldn’t fault it and caters well for vegetarians

Was great visit start to finish. The service was excellent, the food very tasty. We will definitely return next time we come to Teignmouth,

Fantastic food and they left us to chatand laughand didnt hurry us.

Quaint Indian, good service, tasty food.

Delicious authentic Indian food! We ordered multiple dishes and shared amongst the table. Every dish was perfect!

Absolutely fantastic every time. Delicious and authentic!

Nice little place. Very cosy and you can sit close together. Very tasty food, though my king prawn piri had titchy prawns though very tasty.

Nice but overpriced. Very nice curry and excellent service. We were the only ones in the restaurant however I didn’t feel we received value for money. Rice was extra!

5 of us on 16.04/2022 had one of the best meals we had tasted in a long while. The meals were without fault. I had the lamb and aubergine curry and the lamb melted in my mouth. Every dish was well cooked and well presented...

My brother booked this restaurant for my birthday treat it was fantastic Mohammed is one top chef and the staff fabulous Very small only seating 14 but the food is the best I’ve ever tasted just wished it was nearer where we live I’d be...

Such a small ambiant atmosphere, the food however was delicious. The owner couldnt have been more helpful and the prtions were very generous. The leftovers were lunch for the following day. Highly recommended we'll be back there soon.

Absolutely fantastic, a lovely little restaurant great food quaint setting, lovely atmosphere friendly staff and above all one of the best Indian meals I have ever had. I had the chicken madras with garlic rice it was super.

Absolutely brilliant, probably the best Indian I have ever eaten.

Probably the best Indian I’ve ever had outside of India

This little restaurant is the Gem ... Great unique food.Mo the owner is an absolute genius.. The staff are very attentive and very helpful.. Jill and Dillan are so Lovely. We love this place ,we stayed in teignmouth for a three week break and visited...

Fabulous meal and very hospitable cant knock that..

Food was very nice and quick service, friendly and the young lad working there is very handsome

Delicious curries in an intimate setting. Really yummy and worth a visit!

Food was very good and extremely tasty. What was a little off putting was all 3 members of staff constantly sneezing. Particularly worrying in these times!!!!

Excellent food and good service.

A small intimate restaurant, where the food is definitely created with love and care. Wonderful hosts and exceptional quality of food. We will definitely return on our next visit!

Genuinely one of the best curries I have tried.

Thanks for an excellent meal and super friendly service. See you again soon.

We are staying in a house in Sheldon for our 2 week break , Decided to have a curry one night looked at this on trip advisor , I can honestly say this is one of the best curries I’ve ever had . It’s like...

Very good food and great service

Very friendly welcome. Quite small so you need a reservation. My partner had a king prawn balti and I had a king prawn and spinach curry. Both were brilliant. We have never had such very large king prawns before. They were peeled but had the...

Good food, and a lovely chef/owners.

Amazing little restaurant. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the food was the best we've ever had. The food was all freshly cooked and served so beautifully. We'll definitely book again next time we visit family in Devon. (9th sept 2021)

Excellent fresh cooked authentic food, only take cash, so don't be caught out!

As good as it gets,, best curry in town.

I don't want to tell you about this amazing place because it's small and intimate and you might book and prevent me from getting a table! But, in the spirit of generosity and love, I shall let you into this little secret. Charming, intimate and the best curry you will ever have. The peshwarri is so good that when I want to order one the size of a duvet so that when I die I can be wrapped in it. Ok that's weird, but honestly it's so good. So find just a couple of people that you love the most and take them. Don't take a group, just the 2 or 3 closest people that you like the most. We can't share this wonder with just anyone you know.....

Can't wait for next year to come back again

Lovely food with friendly, attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent. This is a very small restaurant with a nice cosy feel. Would recommend to everyone.

First visit to this curry house. Lovely meal great food. I would highly recommend. Its small so I would recommend you book.

Had a family birthday dinner here, the food was great and really friendly staff and Bangladesh owner. Curries were very well cooked and really tasty, I'm a meat eater and loved it all, but the stand out dish was the tarka dhal, such good flavour....

It was lovely, the food was really yummy and i could eat is again any day! I would definitely go back. It was my second curry and it made me want to try more. Bettie Age 10

Managed to get a cancellation last night. Food was delicious and very fresh. One of our group has IBS and normally spicy food causes an issue. This is the first Indian restaurant where she didn’t encounter any issues. Flavour of the food was amazing and...

Had a lovely meal here this week. One of the best Indian meals ever. Great service staff were brilliant
