THE EASTERN EYE in Teignbridge

Lovely restaurant. Food was delicious and was able to take my leftovers home. Amazing service with very friendly staff. They went above and beyond. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, great service and fab atmosphere .

Everything else was amazing I guess it was busy it happens.

Service terrible food not much better. Will not be returning anytime soon. Seems you get good service if you are a regular. When eventually asked did we want desert or coffee’s, ordered a bailey’s next thing without asking bill arrived. 20-30 minute later when asked where coffee was they had completely forgot. But just a culmination of bad service throughout the night.

Perfect evening. Attentive staff, superb food. Looking forward to returning soon.

Great food. A must when coming to Newton Abbot

Best curry ever! The buffet night is great value too!

Ordered delivery curry was nice but not the one I ordered. Cheese and garlic nan raw and doughy disappointed used to be go to not anymore sad times

Lovely food and great service would definitely go again!! 😊

Food was basic. Like it was cooked from frozen in an oven. Very underwelming

lot of sauce but only few cubes,of paneer. needed some spice . food was all cold on delivery.

Went their Thursday evening elvis night for our joint birthday .what a fantastic night food amazing the whole evening brilliant even had a dance at the end thank you will be back hopefully for Elton John night

One of the best curry’s . I’ve had in a long time . Staff were great . Food was great . I really couldn’t knock it .

We are tourists to the area. It had started to rain and kyboshed our plans to BBQ. We called in on spec and we're welcomed. The staff are fantastic and check on you regularly that you are ok. The food was served timely giving you a chance to have a chat and let your starters and poppadoms to settle. The mains are an excellent portion and came with a sample of another curry on the side. Can't fault it at all. Good choice for a curry.

Great buffet on Tuesdays but great food any night.

over an hour late, to then be told after ringing the restaurant twice, that they hadn't even sent the order to the kitchen.

Sadly the onion bhajee were dry and tasted as they had been reheated! The rest of the food was lovely so it was such a shame!

Excellent food, all the staff were attentive and very friendly. Highly recommended to those who enjoy Indian food and a relaxing evening.

Pricey on the buffet night. But then u get a good selection of food. Its a hard one to work out where to go for a buffet night. Good for a change but will stick to the other one

This place is awesome. To start with they have the best tamarin sauce for their Poppadoms. Hot and sweet and so so yummy. The naan is always freshly made and delicious. Then on to the buffet. So much choice always hot and super tasty. The staff are friendly and the place is always clean. I always eat to much and feel so full.

Wonderful tasty food, and excellent service! Would highly recommend, we mentioned it was my partners birthday, they came out with drums and sang happy birthday, and gave us complementary shots, a really fun birthday celebration. 😊

I chose chicken balti. The chicken was rock hard and the sauce didn't resemble any balti I have ever had, which is a lot as I am from Birmingham and have one almost every week.

Absolutely amazing place, we have come back after 7 years for our birthday celebrations and can't rate it highly enough. Food and drink is amazing and the extra the fabulous staff come and sing happy birthday and then add the lovely touch of a framed photo for the moment, definitely above and beyond!

Delivery took a long time, food wasn’t great. Naan breads were undercooked and stodgy. Chicken in the curry was dry inside. Chicken tikka pieces that were by then selves were also very dry and tasteless, won’t be using again

Definitely recommend! Service was fast , food was hot and very tasty! Staff were friendly ! What more do you need! Tikka masala and garlic naan were amazing !

Best in Newton food unreal as always A******^*

Great as always, should have ordered couple of poppadoms:)

To be honest food isnt good there most recent place i have been to Orpington for indian meal The Taj indian restaurant but i can tell you they offer banquet night for £15.95 food is fantastic better than eastern eye its your choice where you would like to eat but its not same as eastern eye

Visited 27/6/24 with a group of friends. We went there on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. Superb food and service. Complimentary liquors at the end and the rapport with the staff was exemplary. They certainly go to town when there's a birthday diner... drums, the lot. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Starter was nice however the chicken in the shaslick was not cooked and I had to throw it in the bin

Waiting staff need training, vegetable biryani was awful. Such a shame to see it go down hill, this place used to be great.

Very nice atmosphere and good food. Good prices, definitely recommended.

Still given this 4 stars to hard and delicate work to team food is really nice we always had takeout Really enjoyed. me and my wife 3 weeks ago where there that was amazing food. Went back this Saturday I had jamaden very sweet and my wife had butter chicken same again she found it was sweet I like said food amazing we couldn’t eat it due sweetness I don’t leave nothing on my plate ,when it came to table to be cleaned we must had owner he was not happy we not eating are food down to us ordering wrong order it was bit of putting to feel I was on fire line due to didn’t clean my plate when I didn’t drink samboka compliments drink that was a issue Maybe they should ask or even free coffee instead there is thing called car to drive to these restaurants so free sprits not always good thing if your driver , we may not return after this episode

Best Indian around. Food and service are both amazing. Def our go to place.

Highly recommend Eastern Eye. The food was divine, service was excellent. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Will be definitely dining here again! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful Indian dining experience.

Superb, always a brilliant & food is delicious !!!

Has to be one of the best restaurant experiences in the UK now.

Everything was obviously cooked well in advance and so the meat was quite dry, the bhaji was chewy and not crispy. The Naan bread was anemic and barely cooked. we won't be rushing back.

Great food and service. Never disappoints.

Came here yesterday evening for the all you can eat... Not much really to say.. Other than the food was very average.. Not a lot to pick from.. And naan selection wasn't as good as the naz buffet across the road...

Order was placed at 7:45, Waited almost 3 hours from placement of order for a local delivery - not acceptable.

Wow what amazing food! Also great service. Enjoyed a great meal with our family. Best Indian ever. Thank you so much……..

Love this Indian. The best food in Devon, great knowledgeable staff. They leave the sambuca on the table too.

Absolutely fantastic as always!! Staff very friendly and attentive and their attention to detail is second to none! We bought Mum and Dad for a treat and they too thoroughly enjoyed it, and our son loves the left overs for his breakfast the next day! Keep up the good work 😊 Thank you!!

First time at this amazing Indian restaurant. The food the service and overall experience was excellent! They were great very attentive and spoilt my daughter for her birthday. Thanks for a great evening we will be back !

Well what can I say apart from .. just a fabulous perfect evening for my daughter’s birthday! First time here but definitely not the last .. the staff went over and above any expectations. . The food superb the service excellent . Best Indian in a very long time ! THANK YOU!

Food was lovely, staff were very helpful and pleasant

We really enjoy coming to Eastern Eye . The service is great ( even when it is really busy) and the food is delicious-and there are nice little touches that make it special- hot towels after your food , a few slices of orange to cleanse the palate , often a complimentary drink. Highly recommended!

Good food, lots of options in alacarte as well as buffet. But the staff is even more impressive, provided great service with a smile. Will definitely visit soon.

Been they customer for 8 years all food is delicious

Wonderful place..staff are top notch ..always welcoming and pleasant to talk to. Food is gorgeous. I would say my no1 place to eat. Highly recommended 👌 👍

I would say this is our no1 restaurant. Ever. Staff are always welcoming, and food is unreal....LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ RECOMMEND 200%

Nice experience, nice food and fairly quick service for a busy restaurant. Only issue is its quite noisy. Lots of echo plus celebrations with added staff drumming and strumming of happy birthday or whatever. Great place for a cheery group/family celebration.

don't order eastern eye through this app. order it through eastern eyes own app. you'll save money and get what you asked for.

Great atmosphere each and every member of staff were courteous and very friendly with plenty of banter and the food was excellent and overall Uber my happy with our service

absolutely beautiful food, would 100% order again

Great tasting food and fantastic service, highly recommended. We were not rushed and made to feel very welcome, I would recommend booking as it gets busy

Great food and service, highly recommended

This is one of our local restaurants and I’ve been here 4 times in 2 months, 3 times were with work for Christmas and retirement parties and then with a group of friends. The service is always efficient and the staff are very friendly. Always have Poppadums and get plenty of dips and chutney to go with it. I always have the chicken Dupiaza which is not on the menu anymore but they always make it for me. They give you a complimentary side dish of chicken Royale which is really nice. Then afterwards the ladies get a free shot of tia Maria and the men get sambucca. If in a group they will often leave the bottle on the table for you as well. The atmosphere is always great and often they will have a special entertainment night with singers. Definitely recommend for a good night out.

I chose this restaurant to go to on Valentines Day with my husband to celebrate our 26th Wedding Anniversary, as we usually frequent a similar local establishment but I wanted to try this one as it appeared to be suitable for me. I have a bad dairy allergy and also do not eat meat, and on the website it states to inform the waiter if you have an allergy. My husband telephoned the restaurant prior to our visit to ensure that they could cater for our needs and he was reassured there would be no problem, and on the website page it also states " we will endeavor to fulfill your request". On arrival the restaurant looked lovely, it was decorated with red heart balloons and rose petals on the table. The waiter approached our table and handed us our menus, but never offered us any drinks whilst we chose our food.On his return I immediately told him I had a severe dairy allergy and did not eat meat or fish and would this be a problem for them. His response to me was, "well what curry do you normally eat?" Not quite the response I would have expected, so I asked him if he could ensure my meal did not have any dairy in it, I was then told the ingredients were listed, which is true, but surely butter/yogurt/cream could be omitted from a dish if I chose. I started to feel uncomfortable like I was being a nuisance so I asked the waiter if I could have a Mushroom and pea Madras, as I know this is safe for me to eat. The waiter promptly replied that it was not listed on the menu. I felt really awkward so just quickly chose a regular vegetable biryani, my husband chose a regular non meat item off of the menu without issue. We had to ask if we could order starters as well which is rather unusual as these are the first things that are normally ordered. Our papadums were delivered to our table and my husband had to ask if we could order a drink. In a timely manner our food was delivered to the table, the main course, so my husband asked where our starters were, and the young man who bought our food out said he would go and find out. He bought our starters to the table and we had no option but to eat them with the main course. When the food was bought to the table there was a dish that we didn't recognise so we asked what it was, to be told it was a complimentary CHICKEN curry, (not really appropriate when it was made clear we do not eat meat) I must say the food was very tasty, hot and plentiful When I went to pay we did inform the young lady when asked how everything was, that it was a very uncomfortable experience for us do to the unhelpful waiter. Sadly although the food was lovely we will not return there again, due to the waiter making me feel so awkward If you have allergies or are vegan, Im not sure this would be the restaurant for you, as the waiter was unprepared to be helpful.

Absolutely fantastic night at the eastern eye restaurant for valentines night. Everything was amazing, live music, delicious food We got so many extra treats too, a rose, heart balloon, chocolates extra's side dish to try and 2 shots at the end of the meal. We had the best time and the staff are so friendly. It’s ashame we are only able to go here when we are on holiday. Will be back next time we visit Devon. Thank you so much for a perfect night out.

Came on buffet night. Busy but plentiful amounts of hot food. Friendly staff. Have been lots of times before as we love this establishment.

Ordered a madras which was more like a massala. The chicken was dry and the normal chicken curry had no flavor....

Truly amazing venue, the staff are amazing, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is buzzing. The Eastern Eye Newton Abbot has always been the place to go above all others. Thank you for helping to make my daughters 16th birthday amazing. You rock guys

Excellent meal service as always the best great staff and atmosphere lovely place to go for a family gathering hope to see you again soon.

Excellent Indian, wonderful experience and birthday celebrations! The Indian was best we’ve had and loved all of our dishes. Quality taste and experience , can’t wait to come back

Food quality and the taste seems to have changed. Not as good as before, was a disappointment.

Best India in the area 1st class It was are friends birthday and they really surprise him with drum etc

I have discovered the epitome of Indian takeaways, surpassing all the Indian food experiences I've had thus far. Without a shred of doubt, this establishment reigns supreme as the absolute best in delivering exceptional Indian cuisine.

Delivered on time, hot and by polite staff.

wrong order late delivery poor quality need I say more

food was cold this time , not sure if the driver walked instead

Not the best, not the worst, just average

Best curry in England!! I am from London and this tikka masala is hands down the best curry I have ever had. The presentation, taste and vibes are immaculate. The best curry house ever - would thoroughly recommend and will always be coming back for more !!

amazing food. arrived ultra fast and hot.

Food tasted good, but there was only a choice of 3 meat curries and 2 vegetarian curries on a Sunday (buffet day).

Really good atmosphere with many family groups and couples. Attentive waiters and excellent follow up from senior guy Ali. Good food with additional complimentary side dish and not too costly A good night out and well worth the trip from Starcross

Food was lovely and not bad as far as price goes. Only issue is that there are no baby change tables so had to change my child on the floor of the disabled toilets

Food was early but only luke warm

Delivered 30 mins early without notification plastic lid on rice was shattered and had lots of little splintered plastic in rice so had to throw out. Lamb in curry was half tender and half chewy like it was a mixed batch

Eastern Eye is one of the best Indian Restaurants in Newton Abbot. If you are a food lover and want to taste indian cuisine then I'll recommend you to choose Eastern Eye. Surely you gonna fall in love 😊. Service and atmosphere are quite excellent as like we desire. So so and so clean and tidy.

Lovely food, great service. No more needs to be said really.

Great Indian situated on 'takeaway Alley' in Newton Abbot. Bussing atmosphere with live music at times, good staff and great food. Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the South West. Do go and try it.

My first time at this restaurant Amazing service Amazing food Definitely recommend Lovely clean restaurant so much choice on the menu

An excellent restaurant severing quality Asian food with very professional staff. From the moment we arrived the staff and proprietor made us feel special . Nothing was too much trouble for them

Fresh and delicious food. Very great quality

What has happened to the Eastern Eye, my curry had just 4 pieces of chicken and enough sauce to drown in, very disappointing.

Went for the Buffett. The foods were overly spicy. Even the tikka masala was more than anywhere else I’ve eaten. The staff are overbearing, big difference between attentive and making you feel rushed. Especially when there were plenty of empty tables so they weren’t in a hurry for the table. Staff asking if we were finished whilst we were still eating and trying to take glasses away when still over quarter full. Definitely put me off returning.

First time ordering and it won't be the last. Fantastic food and very quick delivery.

I visit the Eastern Eye regularly and am never disappointed. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistently excellent food.

Went with friends to celebrate birthday. Booking is essential as it gets very busy. Despite the fact that the place was packed service was good and friendly. Food was good and its nice that you get complimentary drinks after the meal as well as hot towels. If you like Indian food this is the go to place in Newton Abbot.

Best India in town, friendly staff and excellent food..

We were given the wrong meal so was a bit disappointed!

Friendly staff, good service, nice food couldn't fault anything apart from the atmosphere. Decided to put us out for a quiet evening next to a table of 12-15 who were loud and standing up half the time. Ruined the evening a bit as literally couldn't hear what other were saying across the table. Maybe put bigger parties in the side part rather than main bit or vice versa. Highly recommend though!

I recently had a trip back to Newton Abbot and went with a good friend to the Eastern Eye. This was not my first visit. Each time I have been here the food has been exceptional and service excellent. During this recent visit, the food was even better than before. As usual, service was perfect and the owner a total joy to chat to. He knew many of the others dining in this busy restaurant, which is a good indication why people regularly return to enjoy the great food so often.

Fantastic friendly service and possibly even better food.

Very tasty meal. Very polite staff. Would recommend.

After many years we headed into Newton Abbott to visit The Eastern Eye which we always enjoyed dining at. So pleased we hopped on the train as We had a lovely experience from start to finish. We have never been in such an organised restaurant. By 7pm the restaurant was pretty busy yet the service was impeccable. We never once felt rushed yet there was always someone at hand if you needed anything. We would definitely recommend you try here if you are in the area.

Lovely, modern Indian restaurant. Great food and service. A vibrant atmosphere, with everyone enjoying themselves

Food did not taste nice. Chicken tasted off and the sauce did not taste the same as usual.
