The Pavillion in Stroud

Another delicious meal at The Pavillion. We usually dine-in as we like to make an occasion of eating such delicious food. I particularly appreciate the table linen, it makes the whole dining experience so special. Last evening we ordered Chicken Tikka, Vegetale Curry, Plain Boiled Rice, Jeera Gost, Pilau Rice, Garlic and Corriander Naan and Popodoms with dips to start, all freshly cooked and couteously served. We have been dining at The Pavillion since it opened in this location after moving from above The Old Neighbourhood Inn. Relatives of ours who have travelled the world and lived and worked in many eastern countries say it is one of the best places for a curry that they have experienced. Brimscombe, Stroud is so fortunate to have such a good Indian Restaurant and Takeaway.

Had takeaway on Sunday meal wasn’t very hot, chicken was tough and didn’t taste fresh. We hadn’t been for about 9 months because we had the same issues. Noticed there was no food rating on the door. Won’t be going back again don’t waste your money.

So sad as previous experience was of a good quality meal. All dishes this time lacked fresh spice and all tasted basically the same with an overwhelming taste and aroma of cumin. One of the poorest meals we have had for some considerable time.

Absolutely delicious food. We were unsure whether we should make the trip to The Pavilion as it was slightly further than we wanted to drive but I’m delighted we did. We were spoilt for good curry living in the city but now we’ve moved out it’s much harder to find. I’ve even been served cheddar cheese instead of paneer! But not at The Pavilion. The flavours were exquisite and the food felt rich yet light. Naan was great, vegetable shashlick was cooked perfectly. There was no oil floating on top of any of our meat dishes. And BYOB. Brilliant all round. Thanks.

Not visited for a long time due to covid, but food is still great, staff very helpful and friendly, but remember to bring your own if you drink wine or beer as this restaurant is unlicensed.

Friendly staff. So sorry We got our address wrong ( we were staying here for the weekend) but you phoned us twice in order to track us down and the food was absolutely delicious, thank you so much. Thoroughly recommend

Loved this restaurant. Very friendly service and great food! They do not serve alcohol but this wasn't a problem for us.

I love The Pavilion, we've been dining there for years and we keep coming back. The decor is simple and has a sort of comforting continental feel. The food is truly delicious and affordable. I can personally vouch for the Pasanda dishes, the King Prawn has a lovely smokiness to it. The Dansak dishes are also really great and a good vegan/gluten free option for those who need it. Highly recommend the naan breads, I always got the Peshwari for a sweeter option but any of them are good!

Ordered a delivery from the Pavillion. Delivery nice and quick and delivery guy very polite and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend

This place has gone downhill big time. First impression - a dirty table cloth. The lime pickle served with the popadoms was so salty it was inedible and the onion salad was uninspired. My chicken tikka masala was not good, basically precooked chicken smothered in a red sauce, probably straight out of the deep freeze. My wife had a chicken shashlik (her favourite dish) that was dry and the chicken had been precooked, along with half cooked onion. We were both terribly disappointed with our meals and with the overall experience. The Pavilion used to be excellent, but sadly I cannot recommend it.

Always good 😃 never had a bad meal. Would definitely recommend. Best Indian Around. Usually a takeaway as working late myself.

Sorry to hear these guys have struggled financially so much thanks to covid and now battling to stay with us. Saturday night, v quiet- they deserve to be busy! Delicious food, great service, friendly staff, clean and well presented and fab location. Would highly recommend!

We were staying locally and our host had recommended this place and it wasn’t a long walk so gave it a try, it was fairly quiet but due to social distancing this suited us well. The man who served us, believes it was the owner was polite and friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted. The food was good and plentiful, popadoms to start then we had a mixed starter which was delicious and samosa then one of the specials, I can’t remember the name, a couple of veg side dishes rice and naan and as we took our own drinks it came to around £43 which is good value. My only negative is that the ladies toilets were pretty grim! The dust on the skirting boards was pretty thick and I made a comment to my other half that as we’ve just come out of lockdown you’d think the least they could’ve done is a deep clean. It’s quite dated but I think the prices reflect this.

Absolutely delicious Dansak...10 out of 10.driven past this place many times and thought I'd try it out! Really happy I did wonderful food. Will definitely be visiting for a sit on meal when lockdown is over.

Always a great curry from this restaurant, we often get a takeaway too and have the added advantage of local delivery service. Fabulous curries.q

Pedimos una comida para llevar para 2 (32) a las 6:15, me dijeron que sería una hora y diez minutos. La comida apareció dos horas y media después. Vivimos aproximadamente a un minuto en automóvil del Pabellón. La comida hubiera sido buena, pero en su mayoría tibia, y algunas estaban tibias. ¿No es lo suficientemente bueno?

Visité anoche para una comida después de cantar previamente las alabanzas de este restaurante, pero qué contraste con nuestra primera visita. Hubo una clara falta de clientes, 13 para ser precisos, incluyéndonos a nosotros mismos. La bienvenida fue cálida, pero la temperatura era claramente fría y en un momento consideré volver a ponerme el abrigo. La comida era solo promedio, no había un menú de bebidas disponible, y la mayoría del negocio parece centrarse en comida para llevar. Las instalaciones en el exterior parecen descuidadas, algunas luces no funcionan y la señalización está desvaída y vieja. Las decoraciones navideñas siguen en su lugar casi a fines de enero, ¿por qué? De principio a fin de nuestra noche, hubo aproximadamente 1 hora, contento de llegar a casa al calor. Odio hacer una mala crítica pero definitivamente no volveré.

Tuvimos una gran noche en The Pavilion esta noche. Todo lo que teníamos en el menú estaba fuera de este mundo. Grandes sabores en cada plato. Mi esposa y su amiga María comieron Begun Bahar y acordaron que era el mejor plato que habían probado. Lo intenté y tuve que estar de acuerdo. Mi cordero real fue recomendado e hizo un cambio muy agradable a lo que normalmente hubiera pedido. Como comida india en todo el Reino Unido, y en ocasiones en el extranjero, y realmente creo que tenemos un excelente restaurante justo en la puerta. Gracias, todo el personal de The Pavilion regresará la próxima semana con nuestros muchos amigos.

No estoy seguro de lo que está sucediendo con esta estrella reluciente de la cocina india. Visitamos con amigos y fue terrible (hace una semana aproximadamente). Paños que cubren todas las bebidas de la barra y dijeron que habían decidido no servir más alcohol. Aparcamiento cubierto de malezas y escombros sin barrer, follaje que mira hacia el camino descuidado, cortinas en las ventanas de arriba sucias, comida pésima. Una gran pena, ya que solía ser bueno. Esto no puede haber sido un mal día, este tipo de negligencia lleva un tiempo.

Just visited with my girlfriend,the food was absolutely delicious,served quick, for Sunday it was bit busy but well thank you mr raman for amazing service and look forward to see you all soon

Este comercio de restaurantes es hoy en día un 90% para llevar, desafortunadamente, si elige comer, se le servirá después de que la larga fila de personas venga a recoger sus alimentos para llevar. Mientras esperábamos nuestro plato principal, otra mesa se levantó y salió porque habían esperado tanto. La comida en sí es buena, pero es una forma impactante de tratar a los clientes sentados que pagan más que los precios de comida para llevar por la misma comida con un servicio peor.

Always good food, manager very friendly, staff are good though sometimes a little slow, but that doesn’t take away what always is a good night! Better than other local establishments which cannot serve drink!

Really tasty fresh food, we often get a take away or home delivery and the food is excellent. I find the eat in option at the restaurant good too but it seems to lack a bit of atmosphere. Food consistently good though.

We’ve had 2 takeaways and in the last month and both have been truly amazing. All food is so tasty. We always feel we get great value.

Just awful. Arrived to eat in, drinks took 20mins from ordering, a further 35mins to take our food order. Pickles were reused from another table. Second drinks order took 20mins. Food arrived 1hr 40mins after our arrival. Two dishes hot, one warm, one cold. Sent cold one back. Same plate returned, microwaved! 3 tables left without eating due to waits. Takeaway queue was constant and possibly the priority. Flavour of the food, average. Ambience poor. One staff member friendly, one appeared fed up and clearly didn’t want to be there. Just awful would not return.

We've had regular takeaways from The Pavillion for years, but tonight was a real low point. We ordered by phone at 7pm & were given a lead time of 45 minutes. But when we went to collect we waited another hour - & only got it then because we were complaining. To add to that, the food was nowhere near as good as usual- my Korma was full of chilli! Really disappointing- as was the slippery attitude of the staff member dealt with - instead of apologising, explaining - & perhaps offering a discount or free drink while we waited - he made excuses & said things that were obviously untrue. It's really put us off going back - next time we'll go to the next nearest (& more reliable) takeaway... ☹

Ordered dinner. For delivery. Didn't arrive. Didn't answer the phone. Nothing. Worst service ever. What on earth is going on? No communication.

The Pavilion is our local Indian restaurant and we regularly get takeaways from there, we are never disappointed. The service is always very good and the food tastes very fresh and is good value.

Great tasting food. Impressive duck dish! Very enjoyable. Only reason for a 4 was the confusion when placing the order. The gentleman who took the order struggled to understand what we were ordering. Also, he was not sure if the peshwari contained nuts. Work required on website menu and make sure you order in plenty of time. Good job it was worth the 50 minute wait!

Just love this place. Always delivers on time, or earlier. Food is top notch.. Very generous portions too, but again, don't we always over order? Particularly love the onion bhajis and vegetable samosas . if you like a different take on a mild korma their korma mughol with mango is brilliant and for a more spicy taste lamb jalalee certainly delivers. Minimum order of £20 gives free delivery, but even if you don't order that much, and pay for delivery, you will not be disappointed

Decided to try the closet Indian takeaway to home, great service on the phone and also delivery, I think we waited 25 mins Our dinner was lovey and enjoyed by everyone.

We ordered 7 meals as a takeaway we collected at said time. Once Home all looked fine ! then we sat down to eat

We ordered a takeaway at 1910 hrs and were told it would be half an hour, which was not a problem, arrived at 1940hrs and was told it wouldn’t be long, at 2000hrs we asked where it was and was told it was just coming, then we asked again at 2010hrs and were asked our name, and were told they thought it had already gone, he went out the back and said he found it on the hot plate. When we got home, it was COLD !!! Overall we are not impressed!!!!

Excellent Takeaway curry and free delivery Yeah winner all round .. very tasty indeed lovely chicken korma and my husbands chicken tikka masala was delicious gorgeous naan breads . Very polite delivery man . Thank you

We ordered a takeaway and not only did it come after only 30 minutes but it was outstandingly good. Everything tasted great and the lamb was the most tender we've ever had in an Indian restaurant. If I was being picky I would say the chicken was slightly dry but overall was amazing!

Never had a bad meal from these guys. Take away is better value than eating in. But food is always good.

Acceptable quality, but nowhere near outstanding. Many better Asian restaurants in nearby Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Had a lovely takeaway Indian meal with the family. My son's choice for his birthday all the family enjoyed the meal

We had a delicious takeaway last night - it's lovely to find a quality restaurant that doesn't overcharge to deliver to local villages.

spacious restaurant with plenty of parking.Modern interior.No Indian character to it.Varied menu.Pleasant waiter.Bit more expensive than we are used to.Well prepared food and not too hot.

Always a pleasure coming here the staff are always friendly and the service is good

We went on a Sunday evening, which was quiet, and service was great. Our food came quickly, and was lovely. We had duck and garlic chilli chicken, neither were too hot, and the tropical rice was good too.

Had a family meal last night, having booked a week in advance you think the table would have been ready.. No! We were seated in what felt like a corridor!

We went for a meal after a long trip around the country lanes in the Cotswolds. The waiter was very helpful and even asked if we wanted to move when a very odd couple came in - a woman who looked fairly normal and a man dressed in little girls clothing with a doll which he treated as his baby!!!! We were enjoying it far too much to want to move!!! The meal itself was excellent - the best Indian meal that my wife and I have had for years. My wife's curry was really good, and my barbecued meat was excellent. The onion bhajis were really special. Brilliant meal and lovely service.

Lovely meal delivered to our door by a charming young man.The food was great and very generous portions, more than we could eat.Well done. Thank you.Julian

We had a fantastic time here tonight. The food was fabulous. The brinjal bhaji was the best I've ever had. The waiters were very friendly and made us very welcome. My children said it was their best dinner ever.

Empty bar one solitary diner, no welcome staff looked irritated when we asked for a table for 4, absolutely no atmosphere. It was clear they do not welcome customers and prefer the takeaway side of their business. Orders taken by sullen staff, ordered tap water twice and it failed to turn up. Starters were o.k once again served by sullen waiter but it got worse when the main courses turned up. The pescitarian among us had ordered a prawn curry what they got was a prawn curry cooked in a lamb pan and that was the over whelming flavor, same with a mild chicken dish tasted of lamb. Meanwhile the lamb curry was full of gristle and so chewy it was inedible. When we complained we were met with the same sullen miserable unwelcoming blank stares and then they tried to overcharge us. This place could be an absolute gold mine but the prices are extortionate, the service non existent and the food very poor, do not even think about eating here if you are vegetarian or vegan.

The food always tastes very good here, either takeout or eat in. Staff are relatively friendly as far as this can be said about any Indian restaurant.

Having tried to order a takeaway from a local business and received abysmal service, we decided to try The Pavillion. What a lovely visit we had, from the friendly welcome on entering the restaurant to the faultless service and superb food. Very generous portion sizes, so much so that I asked if I could take home some of my main course as I was totally full! The request was met with a pleasant response and a container was promptly brought to the table. Maybe next time I should order less food. Overall an excellentexperience and will look forward to visiting again.

Enjoyed a really tasty curry here last night. We had 5 different mains and several sides - each was cooked perfectly. Waiters were patient and attentive.

Had a few meals in the restaurant and takeaways. Lovely food everything full of flavour lovely friendly staff. Nice and quick on the delivery also and not bad on price

I was in the area with friends for a week eating out every night, and we decided to try the Pavilion curry for a change, having sampled the delights of the local Maccy D, and a couple of local pubs beforehand.The Pavillion is a pretty large establishment but when we visited (around 9 in the evening) it was almost empty. In fact our party of 4 doubled the clientele numbers! There were two front of house staff. One appeared to be the 'boss'. He was casually dressed and eventually took our orders. The other was a smartly dressed gentleman who brought the food to the table. The restaurant was clean and tidy but without any discernible atmosphere. Our order was taken and I ordered lamb tikka danzak with an accompanying rice dish. We all shared some papadums and dips to start. The 'boss' took our drinks order which included 'tap water' and the other chap brought them to the table (all except the water which had been forgotten) The 'smart' one then brought the meals to the table. Unfortunately the fellow did not seem particularly happy in his work, he was quite sullen and the meals were delivered in a haphazard manner more akin to a thrown frisbee. It was as if we were not welcome. The water eventually arrived halfway through the meal after our twice reminding the 'boss'. My 'lamb' proved to be pretty unappetising with little flavour. It was very chewy and seemed overcooked. I guess it could have been any red meat as it had none of the classic lamb flavour. The sauce was thick and glutinous and also seemed overcooked. Perhaps it had been microwaved or reheated several times? It certainly was not fresh! However...the beer (kingfisher) and the accompanying rice were both very nice. One of my friends had a mixed grill and the other two had lamb dishes, I do not recall exactly what the lamb dish was, merely that it was a creamy yellow in colour. Their lamb was also reported as chewy and tasteless. The mixed grill was quite a virulent red in colour and was reported as 'ok'. In so many ways our visit to this restaurant was a big disappointment (we had read the trip advisor reviews beforehand and expected better...much better) As a result I have struggled to award it 2 stars. 1.5 is more in keeping with my experience. Suffice it to say our preceding visit to 'Maccy' in Stroud was much better ....and much cheaper! A shame. Perhaps they had an off day.

We don't come here as often as we like but when we do we're welcomed back like old friends - with the same courtesy, prompt service and good food. We usually choose from the specials side of the menu - and are always delighted by the depth of flavour and sheer quality of the cooking. The bonus? There's usually enough left over to take home to remind us of our feast. We'll be back soon.

Rather than my usual take away offering I decided to take advantage of a free evening and enjoy a chicken jalfrezi. I was not to be disappointed... the curry was just as I like it spicy with a kick! decent sized chunks of chicken laced with fresh chilli, green peppers and coriander with a matching aroma. A good sized portion too... With modern Indian music in the background it was an all round pleasure.

A fabulous meal with great service A MUST for the curry experts The Madras was deliciously prepared This is the 3rd time this month we have eaten here Thank You

Excellent food .. we went on a Wednesday where there is a set price meal ... the portion s are huge and the food is sooooo nice ... highly recommended

The 1st thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell of cleanliness, which for me is a big plus point anywhere I go. The waiter was very attentive and the food was well cooked, full of flavour and served promptly. Would definitely recommend.

We had a beautiful indian meal on new years eve. The service was fantastic. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our meal was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Needless to say we will be visiting a lot more often than we have been.

Takeaway Service,Was mostly sauce and the chicken was hardly anywhere to be seen sauce very watery not nice I shell not be returning.....

Website stated it was open 7 days a week including lunchtimes. Tried to book ahead but my message left was not returned. Took the chance and drove 8 miles to find the doors open and with an illuminated Open sign in the window and with front doors open, only to be told by one of the staff that they were closed as they had no idea if the chef was going to arrive for work or not! Why advertise such opening hours and not have the courtesy to return customers enquiries? Wasted journey but we discovered Rajdoot in Stroud ( see review ). Had wanted to visit The Pavilion after hearing good things about it but if they can't guarantee the chef will attend then I won't bother trying to visit again. Tip: answer your phone, return customers calls. Their loss, Rajdoot's gain.

Love this restaurant, especially as they deliver now. Food and flavour is always excellent, a large menu to choose from. I love the chicken patia, spicy but hot and sour - lovely.

As on previous visits the meal was freshly cooked and tasty. We were told that on a Sunday lunchtime, it can be quiet and it was as we were the only diners.If you prefer more atmosphere it is advisable to go in the evening.However meal was good as disabled the bill reasonable.

One of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. Just us in an otherwise empty place, with a waiter who we seemed to have angered by our very existence. From telling us we couldn't have the table we wanted - the place was entirely empty, at 6 on a Monday night, and nothing was reserved - to quibbling my tip at the end, we couldn't have been made to feel less welcome. A shame, as the food at the Pavilion is pretty good - just get it as a take-away.

We mostly get a take away from here but it is definitely our favourite curry house in the area and makes excellent food with a great range of dishes on the menu

Never get a bad meal from The Pavilion Great staff and the Curry never fails to impress My little tip for this place is to try the Keema Rice its off the scale

There is a wide choice of menu and the food is of a very high quality. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is light and airy.

Great food, but the take away is quicker. Can be irritating. I do recommend but order quickly! I hope the manager reads this and realises that delaying food is more annoying than good for bar sales.

We booked and were pleasantly surprised...Very clean and food was fab. Staff were really helpful. We were early for our booking but shown straight to our table. No waiting around.

Disappointing meal - everything tasted the same. Lots of it but the standard was not high. Two very drunk customers opposite were an unfortunate addition to the evening - they staggered out eventually, bumping into tables and found the exit door with difficulty. Service was very slow and not very friendly.

Three of my family visited on the 10th March. We skipped starters excepting several popadom, these were served with pickles which appeared freshly prepared. We each ordered our own dishes and then tried each other's.This restaurant is renowned locally for it's quality, but on tasting the dishes it still came as a surprise just how good the food was, again!I'll never tire of the Pavillion, they have never disappointed.

Me and my boyfriend have just got back from a Valentine's meal and we were overly impressed. The waiters are the most friendly and attentive people and we were seated and ordered in minutes, we then had a complimentary glass of champers and popadoms. Our meal was brought out boiling hot and so delicious, I couldn't eat all mine but great value for money as you get lots for your money. The waiters were kind enough to put it in a takeaway box for me to take away and enjoy tomorrow. We were constantly asked if we were all right and the waiters had such smiles on there faces, a beautiful relaxed atmosphere. I would say it's my personal favourite Indian in Stroud. Thank you all at the Pavillion for making me and Jakes Valentine's lovely, and for the beautiful feather rose at the end of the meal. 5 Star.

We spent New Year in Frampton Mansell and found this "little gem" on main road into Stroud - Lovely Indian restaurant, nice setting. Friendly staff - very accommodating , excellent food - reasonably priced. Would recommend a visit. We will definitely visit when next in the area. Thanks.

The food was good and good value but we considered phoning in our order as they were so reluctant to take it even though we asked them twice. I had hoped that the service would have improved since I last went five years ago but no such luck. Don't go on a Saturday unless you are happy to stay a long time, be amused by the grumpy slow waiters and order all your drinks as you arrive as you will never get a chance to order more.

We had a table booked at 7, which was clearly peak time for take-aways, which took priority over customers in the restaurant. After waiting 45 minutes and being ignored by waiters, I went to the desk and asked for service, and was received very grumpily. Unfortunately, that continued throughout the meal. The food was great though!

I have written more than one review in relation to this restaurant and this one has been added because a new diner was introduced, and yes she will be going back again.Its difficult to explain the exact differences between the food at The Pavillion and the food at other Indian restaurants but suffice to say that the flavours are incredible. I know for some its all about the heat of the curry, but all heat and no flavour is not a pleasurable experience, i guess this is where The Pavillion's Chef does a brilliant job.For instance they do a dish called 'Jalferoz' which is similar but not exactly the same as a 'Jalfrezi' if eaten elsewhere and is the best i have ever tasted anywhere.I realise this is only my opinion but it still hasn't been beaten anywhere in Gloucestershire where i have eaten, so if that helps you decide to try it out, all well and goodYou won't regret your visit...

We went on a Wednesday evening and enjoyed a lovely meal. Excellent value for money as we had the £12.95 deal which includes a starter, main dish, side dish, rice or naan and tea/coffee. The service was excellent and a great evening was had by all. (I think the deal we enjoyed is only promoted on Wednesdays)

We went one Friday evening and had a very average experience. Despite the place only being 20% full service was very slow. The staff were running about like madmen however so I guess they may have been short staffed. The food when it arrived was very average and nothing to write home about despite being pretty expensive for an Indian restaurant; an average £12 - £13 per dish average is London prices plus. Don't think we'll be going back in a hurry.

We last went to The Pavillion some months ago, because over time we had found the food less and less exciting. However, last night's meal was excellent. We both had starters - enormous! - and a chicken main course. Each dish was full of flavour, with the depth than only a good cook can achieve. We'll be back!

We used to go to The Pavillion when it was in Cheltenham and we were always satisfied with our meals.This is the first time we have been to Stroud and I had forgotten just how totally amazing their food is.I cannot fault anything from the welcome to the service and the meals, everything was incredible and I am not easily pleased.I would recommend The Pavillion to anyone who wants a curry that has more flavour than I have ever tasted in any other restaurant.Go now you won't be disappointed.

I'm very surprised to read all those good appreciations! We're French and went there , hoping to eat great Indian food. (I worked in England when I was much younger and remember how good was the food eaten in small simple Indian restaurants... I was hoping it would have been much better in "THE PAVILLION", after reading the reviews on the Net. What a disappointment! First of all, we didn't get the drinks we had ordered, second, the food was quite ordinary (I 'm used to eat true "Chicken korma"in LILLE, which is real Indian food... This one was too sweet, and no "korma" at all, and my husband's duck was quite tasteless. No dessert, no coffee, what a poor restaurant!I don't recommend it to true Indian food lovers!

We ordered from the Pavilion tonight for the very first time as our usual Indian takeaway quoted a 1hour 15 minute wait time.(un acceptable at 7pm in the evening) I am glad they did as we would not have ordered from the Pavillion I drive past it everyday but up until now had never been in .The food was spot on piping hot and full of new flavours. Prompt efficient service and the food was better value than our usual restaurant. We ordered our normal dishes and the over whelming result was that the food was nicer .It was almost nice to compare the dishes from different restaurants. We may well of found our new takeaway.

We came here on a Wednesday for the special offer: 4 courses for 12.95. We were both hugley impressed with the quality of the food and the value! Will be returning soon!

Without a shadow of a doubt this is the best place for a curry in Stroud. The food is always of a high standard together with top service

Been using this restaurant fairly often over the past few years. The food is great, the best in the Town and as my husband is lacto-intolerant, it is one Indian restaurant that he is happy to eat at. Not the cheapest but you do get 10% off if you take out, making it comparable to other take-aways. It is not in the centre of town so no drunks from the pubs wander in. Service varies and bar orders are not their strong point. The food makes up for it though.

We've only used the takeaway service on numerous occasions. Prompt phone service and very good menu choices. The tandoori chicken is just the best in the area. Will use time and again and would definately recommend.

We have been a few times now and the food and the staff are excellent. They are very friendly and welcoming. We had an adapted curry which they were more than happy to do.

Visited for our 7th wedding anniversary after hearung good things about this place and wasnt dissapointed. Waiters were polite and quick. Decor was nice and best of all the food was amazing. Fresh, interesting and full of flavour. Me and the wife kept on boring the kids with our comments on how good the foof was! Recommend the Royal Lamb, nicely spiced and literally fell of the bone. Will DEFINITELY go back again soon. Well done guys!

I frequently use their takeaway service, which has a 10% discount! Food is always good quality and freshly prepared. Friendly service and good value. Thoroughly recommended.

we always really enjoy the food here and the service is always very friendly. There is always variety of yummy curries. It would be great if they delivered. thank you.

This was our first visit and we came with friends and were impressed with the quality of the food, and the value as we had the 'Wednesday Special' which was excellent. The waiter who served us was helpful and attentive. However small omissions stopped this from being a very good experience. On a rainy night, we were surprised not to have our coats taken, and were told just to put them on the back of our chairs. At the end of the meal no order for tea or coffee were taken although apparently included in the price, so after a wait we gave up. Little things, but it would make a difference to the evening and make us want to come again.

We have eaten here several times over the past few years and have always been well satisfied. This evening was no exception. We each chose a dish from the Special selection, and found both to be delicious, accompanied by a side each of special fried rice and potato and spinach. The choice of desserts was greater and more varied than usual at an Indian restaurant, and the ice cream-based selections we chose were delicious.Service was good, friendly and attentive.

The Pavilion seems to be typical of many "Indian" restaurants in that the service is friendly and attentive, but the food is fine but really nothing special. Flavours are muted and one comes out feeling full but not really having enjoyed something memorable.Another converted pub, pretty unappealing from the outside, better inside, even with a conservatory.

We came here for a Birthday meal, there was approx 25 of us and you knew we was coming! The service was awful, even tho you offered a free drink, some of them drinks did not arrive.... The food we waited for approx 2 hrs! And when it came it was so disappointing as we looked at the reviews before we came. The food was being re-heated on a gas burner at the table... metal bowl hot, food not! Lots of dishes did not turn up and we was expected to pay for them!! The only person who had a hot meal was the steak! And I ordered a prawn and chicken dish, no prawns, but shrimps and advertised as a medium heat! It was in a korma sauce...We are sorry it came to this but we felt very let down :(

We are regular clients and yet to have a poor meal. Service is warm and attentive. Curries can be varied according to taste which is ideal when you have fussy children with you. Both eat in and take out portions are very generous, again ideal for family dining. Highly recommended.

We visited this restaurant at 8pm on a Friday night. The restaurant was less than a third full with two waiters on duty, which should have been more than manageable. However, catching their attention to order food and drinks was far from easy and getting drinks took an age. In fact, they were so slow that we ordered the next round while halfway through the first, which did stop us from getting thirsty in the ridiculous wait for our food.Ordering food at 8.15pm and then not having it on the table for over an hour is not acceptable. It was very clear that takeaway customers took preference over restaurant guests. The food was average. My wife's lamb curry appeared to have had a whole tin of tomato puree thrown at it while my chicken was very sweet and not in a good way.Not a cheap night out and one we will not be repeating. This restaurant needs to remember it has a lot of competition nearby...

We really like this restaurant - the food is first class - an interesting menu, especially for vegetarians. The service is great too - attentive but not over the top. Lots of nice presentation touches - flowers made out of vegetables to garnish the dishes. The only small drawback is a slight lack of ambience unless the restaurant is full. Definitely my curry house of choice in the Stroud valleys.

Have been here a few times and the staff are always very welcoming and helpful. More importantly the food is good too. Not just one mush of curry flavour, but meals were you can taste the individual ingredients. It's difficult to get across but you know what I mean!!

We live nearby and have never been to The Pavillion...such a shame that I've missed eating at this fab place.The decor is simple and contemporary and when we arrived all staff greeted us with warm smiles. It was fairly quiet when we arrived but got busier as the evening went on and a lot come for take out...def on my to do list!...the food is fresh, tasty and delicious. I'm not a lover of garlic mushrooms but hubby ordered some and I tried some and ended up having half of his, I've never tasted anything like them before so so yummy, with lots of coriander, a divine starter.My main was a balti and hubby ordered a karai...both were fabulous.The service is impeccable, everyone is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place, I for one will def be returning again...enjoy peeps!!

We live near by and had eaten at the Sunday buffet but never from the main menu. Wonderful surprise. The food was excellent. Best byrianni I have ever eaten. Good portions. Food fresh and well presented. Good choice on the menu and special fish choices. We will return soon because my husband wants a byrianni! A real treat to have exceelent food, attentive service and only 3 minute drive afterwards. The owner was attentive to all his customers and went out of his way to sensure that everything was satisfactory. A little more expensive than the restaurants in Nailsworth but worth it.

After a dreadful introduction to local Indian cuisine at The Passage to India;a friend booked us a table at The Pavilion.Well,where to start ? The food & service were superb.Everything was fresh,zingy & tasty ! The main courses of Chicken Xagoti & chicken Vindaloo were absolutely superb... beautifully marinaded meat & the depth of flavour was divine.I would definately say I was a connoisseur of Indian food;having been to India a lot & having tasted the best curries in London for 12 years.The food here is excellent,the wine great & the waiters charming,friendly & just the right level of attentiveness.The only thing is that it is a bit bright inside. & lacking ambiance; however the food 100% makes up for it !!I cannot wait to go back at Easter....D E L I C I O U S !
