The RiverCross in Warwick

"I recently celebrated my birthday with family and friends here, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. The ambiance was clean, warm, and welcoming, setting a perfect atmosphere for our celebration. The Chicken Madras curry was deliciously spiced with just the right amount of heat, and the naan was beautifully cooked—soft, fluffy, and flavorful. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy the evening. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable! We’ll definitely be back to relive such a fantastic dining experience."

This is the hidden gem of Warwick and Leamington. It never seems that busy for some reason, which is strange because the food is amazing, definitely up there with the best in town. Highly recommend.

Lovely food but did take 1 hour

Really great curry with friendly welcoming staff. We were given an extra poppadom which was a nice touch and we were able to change our booking easily. We bought drinks at the venue but there is a £2 corkage if you want to take your own drink. We'll be back!

So I had the food. It was nice not up to normal standard. It took around 2 hours to come out. The main man was nice and polite but the other lady was very rude. Won’t be coming here again.

Had takeaway, ordered for it to be collected at 7:45 received the food at 8:20 with little idea of when I would be getting it, ordered lamb as the meat in my curry and got given chicken. Quite disappointed

i binned the whole order some of it was cold and some of it looked nasty and i did not get what i ordered

A lovely dinner with my family - Exceptional service and food (the menu has some really different dishes - as well as the typical ones) - Will definitely be coming back. 5 Star.

Good was stone cold and was over an hour late

The manager in the restaurant was very rude and he lied.

Took over an hour to arrive, food was cold, rice was watery, poppadoms tasted stale no lamb in my chicken and lamb curry, no lamb in my keema nann. Not impressed and not worth the £40 I spent.

This place was one of the best for food and service. from the greeting to the service and even to leaving. It was my birthday celebration they came out with a surprise cake sang as loud as anything happy birthday. fantastic place to eat highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing evening ! The staff are so welcoming and friendly and went above and beyond for our family this evening for my husband birthday. Not to mention the food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend! Thank you again indiana Joe's my husband has a fantastic birthday and loved how you presented the cake. 10/10 !! Also a must try is a dish that isn't on the menu so please ask about it.

Excellent food Amazing flavours Service polite and manners impeccable

Had a great meal here. Food was amazing. Service was great and helpful

Had our second takeaway from here but won’t be ordering again. Food ordered for takeaway, butter chicken lovely, nan bread was raw and we had to finish cooking it. Pakora starter 4 very small pieces of chicken for £4 a rip off. Sadly will be going back to our trusted Indian takeaway in Warwick.

This is our go to Indian restaurant for takeaway. Never disappointed. Always collect as at the moment you get 25% discount when you order over £20 and pay by cash. Friendly and courteous all of the time we have been there. Highly rated by us but try it yourself and make up your own mind.

Went last night for meal and what can we say fantastic. Place is very stylish. Yakub chef/owner made me a curry not on the menu and it was gorgeous. We were looked after front of house by H who was so friendly and could not do enough for us, even got a hug when we left making us feel like regulars not on our first visit. Well worth the 40 minute drive. Will we be back no doubt about that. Thank you once again Yakub and H for such a beautiful meal and evening

Ordered a takeaway for collection for 6 people. Order processed without errors. Food ready on time. All food was very tasty.

When we order a curry it's always from here and I love a curry. Diffently best place in Warwick and a must try

Food was ok pakoras were very greasy and kheema nan was a bit bland

Didn’t taste to good. Very grainy tikka masala. Naan bread was obliterated

Unreal, everything was on point 👌

We were there early so had the place to ourselves so can’t really talk about the atmosphere. But the food was delicious.

Booked a table for 10, everything spot on, great service and super tasty food with generous portions. Excellent value, and we ALL had a great evening. Thank you - we will be back !

Worst place I have ever been in complete west Midland... Food quality was very average. However, the staff behavior was worse and doesn't know how to behave with customers..

The behaviour of owner (who is also a waiter) was very bad. He doesn’t know how to talk to customers. He argued with us and at a moment we feel to leave the restaurant without having food. I don’t recommend anyone to visit this restaurant

Thank you so much for a great late night dinner. We loved it.

Very tasty! They prepared exactly the way we like Indian food - highly recommend! Very tastefully decorated - would be great for an event!

Food it not what I expected nothing we had can be recommended to anyone nice and friendly staff but they need to change their chef for sure me and my partner had different type of food all came up very sweet and taste was similar one to another.

Great food. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good prices. Enjoyable visit.

Quite bland and a missing item when arrived

Haven’t not tried here I though I would do and to say I’m shocked no taste to keema nan was like eating bread and the chicken korma had not a single Taste to it which is even worst shocking to say the least and won’t try again stick to what u no

***update*** Have been here regularly since my review below and it keeps getting better and better. Highly recommend the Nayna Special with chilli oil or the saagwalla, e eryrhing is cooked fresh and the chef is fantastic. They were training two new waitresses up today and they did so well! Great restaurant with a great varied menu. Draught beer is back on too which is a big plus! *** Fantastic choice of dishes, we were here with a group of 4 and all our meals were delicious! Excellent service, shame the cobra wasn't on on draught at the time but the big bottles of kingfisher were just as tasty 😁. Will be coming here again!

Really disappointing food. Watery sauces, bland. Ordered a lamb and got chicken.

my plate was full of water where the rice could of be drained for longer. chips were fries and soggy. I asked for onion salad and got lettuce 1 slice of cucumber and 1 cherry tomatoe. and I'm recovering from the shock of paying over £5 for 2 small onion bhajis

First time we've ordered from Indiana Joe's, the quality was superb, loved the Chicken Jalfrezi (best I've had in a long time) and Prawn Puri was great too. Will be ordering again soon and hopefully dining in too.

For was excellent and the service was lovely

a brilliant service . the app told me everything I need. food good . top 🎩

Amazing service, lovely staff! Would 100%

Great food and atmosphere and service was very good and made me feel very comfortable as i am new to this country and go warwick University and it was a warm welcome and thank you very much indana joes definitely will be seeing me again !!!

Hot food fresh and tasty. Friendly staff and would thoroughly recommend as I've found my new favourite Indian

Thought I would try this out, but unfortunately very disappointed missing items really greasy. Poppadoms like paper no crunch

X8 of us went for a meal last night, great food, good service and very reasonably priced. Will for sure be returning, and would highly recommend

What a treat! First time we've been in since it changed name and came under new management. Everything was first class. Will be going again for sure!

Varied menu. Delicious well presented food. Friendly and polite staff. Lovely waitress.

New place, great service food excellent.

Lovely family meal, great choices and service-especially Saj and all the staff very welcome.

Had to wait 2 hours for a main which was warm when it eventually arrived and it wasn’t even busy. And then they over charged us on the bill. Absolutely pants of a place . Avoid at all costs, they have lost a-lot of custom with us. Worst curry house in Warwick

Had a takeaway, curries were fantastic, had a good collection discount and free dishes. So pleased it’s so close we definitely be a regular customer. Lovely staff

Great tasting food and great service

Absolutely brilliant ! Had a fantastic night , .wonderful food and so friendly team.

Best curry house in whole of Warwickshire by far. Always good food and always 10/10 service. Definitely recommend!

Burger was burnt. No excuse when paying for food. We were going to bring family there, but we'll never return. There are too many other good restaurants around to have to put up with second rate food.

An excellent meal love a very hot curry So we both had Chicken Naga Which was flavourful but it is their hottest dish.It is a shame at the moment that they can only accept cash. Please check when you book is my advice.

Came here yesterday with family for my dad's birthday. The staff had put up birthday banners for us around the table. Best Indian restaraunt I've been to in a long time, food was the best and service was absolutely amazing. Thank you to the waiter that served us. Will definitely be returning!

Great food. Friendly service. Sadly closing to tonight. Will be greatly missed.

Very disappointing. We've been having meals from here for a long time, since it opened I think. I almost always have the same, Chicken Makhani, because it's my favourite and nowhere else does it as well. My husband likes to choose different things. Until recently all the meals have been good. However the last few have not been up to their previous standards. I've held off reviewing in the hope they were just having an off day but it wasn't. The last meal was very disappointing. My choice is supposed to have mango in it but there was no sign of the previous yummy chunks. It was just watery with an odd taste. My husband was equally disappointed with his. The food was bland. We got take away instead of eating in but have done both in the past. The restaurant was completely empty on a weekend evening. We're so disappointed as River Cross really was our favourite local Indian restaurant, but no more.

Sweet Food. Ordered chicken grill, Kulcha Naan & Egg Masala, all were too sweet. Didn't feel like to eat from the very first bite. We had clearly told them to make it spicy. Rather it was sweet. Later they said this is how it is and the place not suitable for Asian crowd being a Asian restaurant. Wow!!! Felt like £40 just went down the drain. Poor food, never ever going to visit it again. NOT RECOMMENDED specially for Indian crowd.

An absolutely amazing take away from our favourite Indian restaurant!! Great in or out. Thanks so much x

We have used this restaurant many a time and the food has always been excellent. My daughter ordered a takeaway through Dilerveroo (Our mistake should of ordered direct) on Saturday 15th, it arrived late and the quality of the food was very poor. The vegetable Korma was watery & the vegetables were frozen veg & contained brussel sprouts which is a first for me. The vegetable curry that accompanied the chicken byriani was the same apart from no brussel sprouts. We contacted the restaurant to complain and they told us to contact Deliveroo as the restaurant does not get paid until 20 days after the order. We contacted Deliveroo and no joy there as they said the restaurant need to put instructions on the order to allow a refund. Contacted the restaurant again and they will not deal with our complaint and said contact Deliveroo again. Thought this may be the first review about quality but looking back over the last year, this is obviously a problem and standards have dropped. My biggest regret is that I never took any pictures of the food, second regret should of ordered direct.

What has happened to our favourite Indian takeaway?! Why did a puddle of water accompany our curries? Why did the prawns taste weeks old? Unfortunately this is not the same standard as what you normally get and I really hope this is just a blip.

The Rivercross was always our go to for Indian food, but haven't been for a while We ordered a takeaway & the two Korma were inedible & the chapattis had a strange taste. The prawns were chewy & tasted too fishy, so wasn't going to take the chance of food poisoning, the sauce was watery and we had suspicions it had been frozen & reheated. Tbf my Salmon Sambar was fine We phoned them to let them know our thoughts & were promised a refund on the Korma However they then contacted us to say there was nothing wrong with the food & we wouldn't receive a refund Disappointing that the food was so poor & they didn't keep to their word, won't be going again

Sauce obviously defrosted as it was swimming in liquid and a split consistency. Prawns chewy and ' fishy ', chicken was also dry and chewy. Terrible food.

Waited over two hours for a delivery. When the food did eventually arrive it was very bland, onion bhajis small burnt and tasteless, looked as if they came from a budget supermarket and not authentic as you would expect from an Indian restaurant. Not worth the £78 00. Definitely will not be ordering from River Cross again. Poor service and poor food.

Brilliant service all around. We ordered a variety of dishes from thr menu, non of them disappointed us. Great taist and fullnof flavours. Best food in warwick, leamingtom area for miles. Highly recommended for family environment

Went for meal , food was hot and tasty 😋 place was virtually empty for Saturday night which was a shame , friendly staff , all around good value meal .

We visited this place when it first opened and it was very nice. Now, it's the total opposite. The food is well below par, we had a mixed grill. The portion size was very small, the food looked like it was reheated, and the sheesh kebab just crumbled. There was no ambience, the decor looked dated. Pleasant staff, but we won't return here again.

Welcoming environment and welcoming staff. The food was delicious. By far one of the best Indian restaurants we've been too...

Prawn madras delivered last night inedible-tasted like a tin of curry power had been tipped into it. No other taste. Prawns small chewy and vile to eat. Rice was ok.

First take out from there. On arrival staff very helpful and really warm. Not had before so tried lamb an spinach which was excellent. My hubby had a chicken biranyal chicken was dry and tasteless, would not stop me going but would not have that dish again.

We used this place first time last night.Take out. Had Chicken & Lamb Biryani. Excellent meal. Very tasty will definitely use again. Everything was hot and delicious.

This is the first time I have eaten here, despite living in warwick for nearly 4 years. I have definitely been missing out! Amazing food, tasted really really nice, very friendly staff, and lovely atmosphere.

Great food, friendly staff and excellent surroundings. And if you are feeling brave, a karaoke machine!

Our local curry house, used for many years...but something has changed... We went as a group but were put on a table right by a large group celebrating, no space between the tables for the staff to work around, and yet a large gap the other side. Some of our meals were cold, and one looked very dodgy. No flavour to some of the meals. One staff member also had a habit of shouting out orders to the party table, so with that and the unusually loud music, it was very hard to catch up with friends. We think they must have some new staff... Will think carefully before we go again, which is a great shame as we'd never had a bad meal/service before.

Went for food on a wednesday night, ordered when there was only one other group of people in the restaurant , our food then took 40 minutes to come out, the food was all cold and the portions were extremely tiny for how much your paying, after complaining about cold food they simply reheated it to the point the food taste stale as opposed to cooking fresh food, would not go back as it was a waste of money and after a £90 nobody was full. All the food was extremely bland and had no flavour

What has happened river cross. Have you changed chefs and management? Been coming here for years via takeaway always delicious. Tonight my goodness what a disaster. Food spilt all over bag. No peppers or chilli in jalfrezi. Half portions. Barely any chicken in biryani and jalfrezi just loads of onion And totally cold. Sorry you won’t be hearing from us again

What a lovely bloke H is the food and services were excellent...thank you

Sadly we made the mistake of ordering a takeaway again from what once was our favourite Indian restaurant, both eat in and takeaway, items missing and what we did receive is cold and disgusting, the poppadoms were crushed in the bag, half a bag of chips that cost £2.50, handful of brown, past it’s use by date onion for £1; basically just a waste of money and it’s safe to say we won’t be back! We tried Castle Balti last week and it was fresh, delicious and generous portions, go anywhere but River Cross!!

Partner walked past the river cross man in his late 30s who worked there approached her for her number and stuff (she’s 16) very paedophilic staff wouldn’t recommend !

The best Indian food I have had! Absolutely amazing atmosphere and clean place! I am definitely will eat there again!

Had a meal here last night with my friend. We were only in Warwick for one night. Absolutely delicious curry was had, lovely poppadoms (not greasy), great rice dishes and sides. The price was very reasonable for what we ate and drank The staff were courteous and a great laugh and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thanks chaps :)

Had chicken Naga Which was full of flavour Very Very hot But if you like that Give it a try Had all the trimmings as well Very friendly and helpful staff Thankyou H

Absolutely excellent service. The River Cross is very local to me and has always been a favourite. It just got better tonight when I went off menu with a special request. I was really impressed with a superb and very tasty Celon curry. Many thanks and we'll definitely be back.

Always a good curry and no problem replacing meats with paneer for us Polite staff

Our 3rd takeaway from Rivercross and each time we asked for Tandoori chicken balti off the bone. And the 3rd time they’ve lied and not given what we wanted. The food is nice but when your spending £30 upwards you expect to get what you paid for. Millennium in Bath Street are far superior.

Friendly, helpful staff. Always a great night out

Hadn't been here since before the first UK lockdown. Reasonable food but a little pricey. It is also out of town so not easily accessible. Will probably try here again but currently there are better options in the nearby town

We came for dinner with friends and the food was amazing , the service fantastic and friendly and I couldn’t fault a thing !!! Would highly recommend this amazing restaurant!! I always have Tandoori King Prawns and these were the best I’ve ever had!!!

Excellent staff, thoroughly enjoyable food and have made some great memories already! Looking forward to going back soon : )

Lovely friendly restaurant, with excellent food at reasonable prices.

I have been a number of times to this superb restaurant and went last night with my family. As always the food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful time and will definitely go back often.

Really excellent experience all around. The food was absolutely lovely and also brilliant value for money. We will definitely be going back.

Well over an hour for a local delivery, cold food with complimentary hair included in the rogan josh. Forgot my chips but did refund them.

Black hair in food. Tasteless. Arrived 20 mins late and cold. Chips missing. Offered complementary meal, only refunded chips. Very rude on the phone. Awful. Salad items old with no crunch. Chicken thrown in (not marinated in sauce) Hoping not to be ill tonight.

Had booked a table for the four of us The two gents had to fantastic curries The ladies had recommendations from Mo As are not curry fans This was not an issue and easily sorted Thanks again

Attempted to order a takeaway as their food is always fantastic. Sadly twice in 2 weeks have tried to order a meal one valued at £80+ (no reply) tonight £45, phone constantly engaged.Such a shame as we have been loyal customers for years but are now taking our business to a more reliable restaurant.

Great food and friendly service as usual.

Yet again really poor takeaway service, food complaint cold and curry spilled out in the bag, also missing part of the order yet charged more than normal, their solution … we’ll give you money off next time!! Doubtful they’ll be a next time, time to try somewhere else!
