The Viceroy Tandoori in Vale of White Horse

We popped by the other evening to dine in because we haven’t been there for a while except for take-always but was disappointed with the overall experience. To summarize; the place is looking quite dog eared now and desperately needs some investment. Half the lights weren’t working and the furniture and decor are really dated now. The floor is also very creaky and uneven. To the food however. Our meals all ‘tasted’ very nice - BUT - wow! … their portions have really shrunk significantly. An example of this is; I can remember ordering meat samosas as a starter way back when and you used to receive two large triangles of filled filo pastry on a nice bed of salad. That then changed to three small parcels and that has now been reduced even further to two small parcels, with a small bit of salad on the side as garnish. Very disappointing. Then came the mains; once again very tasty - But - visually, it looked like a few paltry chunks of chicken swimming in a sauce, served up on a small flat crockery salver. The prices overall seem to have remained stable, so that might explain the reduced portion sizes. Drinks are quite expensive however. I can’t see us driving over to dine there again in the near future.

Turned up at a bit after 10pm to ask if they could provide a last minute takeaway as one of the few places still open after a day that didn't go to plan but instead the staff happily suggested did we want to eat in and looked after us very well.

The worst Indian I have ever had, Dishes which should not have been greasy were dripping in grease and dishes which should have been moist were dry and inedible. Service was weird and environment poor. Avoid at all costs.

The most disgusting and dirty restaurant i ve seen in Farringdon ! Not kids friendly. High chair was dirty

A delicious meal in a lovely setting! The staff was very nice, we had a lovely evening! Reasonable price and really excellent, I recommend!

horrible service and food, would give 0 stars if possible. Served me burnt naan, when addressed I was told “this is just how they cook them”. Server was very unsanitary and was licking fingers and sneezing while serving our food. Would not recommend to anybody.

Best indian i have ever been to must go if you live near by

Very nice curry and friendly service. Right in town centre and easy to get to by foot. Food was very not and came in good time. As busy for 7.30pm on a Tuesday night so image you may need to book at weekends

I found it expensive, I was underwhelmed I was recommended by a local maybe I just got it wrong

Amazing food, always spot on! The staff are friendly, we've been going here for years and have never been disappointed.

Had a great takeaway last night. Food was very tasty and not oily. Big portion and hot. Great value for money and will be returning.

Our dining experience at The Viceroy was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, my husband, son, and I were welcomed with warm hospitality that made us feel immediately at ease. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy charm and refined elegance, ideal for a memorable family night out or a special occasion. The menu at The Viceroy is both expansive and carefully curated, featuring a range of authentic Indian dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We were impressed by the variety of options, from rich, aromatic curries to lighter vegetarian dishes and flavorful sides, catering beautifully to all our tastes. My husband and I shared the Chef’s Signature Specials and were blown away by the depth of flavor and attention to detail. The balance of spices was impeccable, and each dish had its own unique character. Our son enjoyed his meal just as much, and the staff made sure he was taken care of with age-appropriate recommendations and friendly service. The service at The Viceroy was top-notch—attentive and genuinely warm, making us feel like honored guests without being intrusive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and even offered a few thoughtful suggestions that turned out to be highlights of our meal. From start to finish, The Viceroy exceeded our expectations, providing an experience that was both delicious and memorable. We left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. This place is a true gem, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding Indian dining experience!

This authentic curry restaurant is well worth a visit. One of the best curry dishes I have experienced. Well supported by the village. I recommend booking due to its popularity.

Very popular restaurant as it was pretty busy but they accommodated us, putting us in a little alcove away from other diners which suited us perfectly. A good menu and we opted for the specialities. My jalfrezi was just right and the portions were generous. They were really busy and we hadn't booked but we didn't feel rushed, the staff were very pleasant.

Properly good old school curry.

Very nice food. Friendly staff.

Been using it for as long as I can remember never ever had a complaint food is always 💯 👌 😋

Definitely a father’s day and rare occasion go too. Exceptional food with true Indian heritage. I will definitely recommend the chicken mahkani.

Excellent food and great service. We wanted get a quick meal to finish our day this place was great. Best garlic Nan had after. Long time. Keep it up 👍

We've been getting food from the Viceroy for around 10 years and it is always our go to. Definitely the best curry. We usually get take out, but have eaten in once or twice and the Viceroy never dissapoints.

I visited the restaurant for the first time 3 weeks ago the food was excellent and great service as I am in a wheelchair I got through the door with no problems Visited October 2022

Excellent classic Indian curry house with great food, great service in a nice cosy traditional pub like setting. Onion bhajis were stunning and the dips and popdums were some of the best I've ever had

Little Gem of a restaurant The viceroy in Faringdon I took a good friend out for an evening meal quite early in the evening. The welcome we received was lovely and warm with a wonderful smile given a nice table next to the radiator, which was great. Come to service and food very much enjoyed it. See you all very soon, thank you very much for a good night.

Excellent curry as always we had the Zaradaloo and the Tikka Methi Karahi. Both were delicious.

A lucky dip choice when we first moved to Stanford and were so impressed, we've happily re-ordered! Each dish delivered hot, tastes different to the others, full of spices and flavours and delivered with a smile. Thank you!

Ordered a Delivery and it was great The second time we have ordered here and it was delicious. We had an extra vegetable curry that didn’t order but that was also very nice. Highly recommend to anyone…we reallllly enjoyed it. Very tasty

Fabulous food, fast service, wonderful staff. A real gem. Highly recommend.

Place was gud.service was very quick and staff behaviour was very good.Definatelly recommended to go this place. Very good place for candle light dinner.

The food is always delicious, our favourite Indian & has been for many years. Staff very helpful & welcoming

Felt very rushed. When we declined dessert even though I still had some of my wine left, they brought hand sanitizer and the bill, then returned straight away with the card machine to pay. The food was nothing special either. We won’t be returning.

Could've turned out to be a very unfortunate incident. Firstly I orded using the numbers on the menu i.e. 1 for an onion bhaji, 2 for a kebab etc. They had no idea what I was talking about. So having the numbers on the menu is just pointless. Secondly, we ordered a delivery only to be told by the driver on the doorstep that he wanted cash or cheque. I rarely carry much but thankfully there was sufficient to pay otherwise they'd have taken everything back, said the driver. Astonishing in this age of apple pay, Google pay and apps. The food was very average. Onion bhaji was hard, the kebab was greasy, the biryrani was overcooked and bland, the naan was suffering from condensation. So instead of a very unfortunate incident we just got an unfortunate one. Won't be bothering with a takeaway again. Shame.

Wow really impressed one of the best indian takeaway I ever had definidly will be buying again,just found my favourite restaurant thank you!

The food was ok, but I've had way better, (love an Indian) just seemed a bit bland, not enough spices.

Lovely meal with some delicious food. Came in here on a road trip back to Bristol and the food was great!

Very tasty food. The hospitality was much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Booked a meal for a group of 13 colleagues with working nearby - website excellent and they accommodated an extra person Good menu, liked the excel style layout of curries ! Starters were liked by all maybe a few more pickles would have been nice. Mains were good and very generously portioned. Disappointed with the Jalfrezi - it was dark like a balti and wasn’t hot. The Naga and chilli Masala dishes were a little milder than we expected. On the plus side the nann breads were perfect. Inc drinks about £35 pp

Lovely meal, friendly service, very attentive people. Gents toilet could do with refurbishment. I’m told the ladies loo is fine.

Food was great, the sause of the lamb passanda was amazing! Peshwari Naan was great too with lots of filling. Service was excellent and very friendly

Very disappointed, Booked a table for 3 for 6.30pm. when we got there we were told that they had no record of the booking even tho i showed them the booking on my phone? we were then told that they are fully booked & we would have to leave, we were not even offered a take away? The only good thing is we got a table the Gulshan in Shrivenham & had an excellent meal. Will certainly be going there again.

We booked a table for 9 on a recent work event and had a lovely evening, very good service, excellent food and we were well looked after. Would definitely return when next in the area. All our group were very happy with the meal and service so would recommend, all tables were taken when there do would advise booking ahead.

This was the third time we booked a table via their website, the time we selected was showing as available, we received a confirmation email, then we received a message half an hour later to say sorry we can't accommodate your request. This has happened 3 times now. We were trying to support a local business. The restaurant needs to look at their website booking process to not disappoint people wanting to eat in the establishment We won't be trying to book again, sorry

Really enjoyed our meal at The Viceroy. Great food, attentive service and overall good value. See you again soon

Amazing indian place that accommodated vegan dishes. Great flavour, fresh veg, just absolutely delicious.

Great food, served in a timely, but not rushed manner.

Excellent service and food. A small hiccup regarding our pre-booked window table that was quickly resolved by an offer to move us (declined) and a couple of complimentary drinks thanks to the attentive owner’s (Yasmin) excellent customer service skills. Will we go back? Absolutely!

Food was stunning. Delicious and very attractively served. Waiting staff were very attentive but not hovering.. a great experience. We were late in on specials night, ordered a feast, were not disappointed. Staff were amazing as always.

Staying in Farringdon and with restricted choice of food we decided on a curry. We were not disappointed either as the quality of food was amazing. My wife’s regular shaslick chicken was “ the best she’s had”. My garlic chilli chicken was amazing too and the cheese Naans were the best we’ve had. Great staff too which always makes it a lot better. We live in Swindon and May bring the family out here as it’s that good.

Despite the website and Trip Advisor saying that this restaurant is in on a Monday until 10pm - we arrived and it was shut!

Shocking..Booked online and it had not taken the booking so had to leave as restaurant was full and not even a sorry.. !!!

Lovely looking place with fantastic interior. We may have caught them on an off night as food not served hot and some dishes in our group underwhelming. Friendly service and reasonable prices but mixed bag dish wise.

We went with two young children and had brilliant service. The food was good but the service was excellent. Would definitely recommended.

Fabulous curry, the team were so friendly and kind to my 2 daughters - we will definitely return!

Great family run restaurant, busy but great atmosphere

My favourite Indian takeaway. It never fails to disappoint. The naan bread is unreal and the curry is amazing with a lovely creamy sauce and the perfect amount of chicken.

Delivered to our door on time and with a smile. Delicious food and very hot are sight form the oven. Would recommend

Eat here regularly and have never had a bad meal. Service is always friendly and the food is excellent. They were happy to make me a curry with paneer despite it not being on the menu. Would highly recommend

We eat regularly and have never had a bad meal. The service is excellent and food is always delicious. Would highly recommend

Amazing food and the Singaporean front of house lady made me and my girlfriend feel very welcome. Would done again

Lovely staff, especially the hostess, Jasmine. Very accommodating with dietary requirements, generous portions and delicious food. Loved it 😁👍

Weekend away with friends, called in for table no problems, excellent staff, very good choice on menu usual fare plus special board, had very good meal at very reasonable price, host jasmine was helpful and friendly with good advice on menu , definitely return.

Way below average Indian restaurant run, as many are, by Bangladeshi folk. The onion bhajis were old and warmed up, the tandoori chicken not cooked in a tandoor but came on a hot plate. The chicken korma came in a bright yellow coconut sauce but the yoghurt and cream was missing from it while the lamb tikka masala came in a very nasty looking bright red sauce, also not what was expected. The meat component in both dishes had cold chicken and lamb diced and stirred into these sauces which was quite awful. The korma naan was almost devoid of lamb. £52 for the poorest meal I've had in the UK.

My partner and I have been traveling for three years non stop. The one thing we look forward to is Indian food in a variety of towns. I can honestly say this has to be the worse by far. The onion bahji had no flavor....

Thursday night, nicely busy, and good service from moment we two stepped in,Had an excellently cooked and presented mixed tandoori grill, great flavours and served with freshly chopped green salad - very good. Partner had ginger chicken - very good. With shared rice and sag...

Really great food and reasonably priced, however one of the waiters just seemed grumpy the whole time and rushed us through the meal - actually took the drinks menu before we'd had a chance to read it. I just grabbed another one, and the meal was very nice, but waitstaff were a bit weird.

Did not feel welcome even though the place was empty. Food was ok, but the restaurant was very dated just look at the Carpet from the 70s didn't look clean. As for the kitchen and toilets very run down. We were very rushed with each course. Took plates away from starter and brought the Main course straight out no time to digest the starter. Decided not to have any desserts, the bill came straight to the table without even asking for it. Why didn't you tell us F###O##. Will never Return.

The food overall is quite bland and sweet tasting. The tikka masala sauce looked and tasted like canned tomato sauce or ketchup with maybe a little bit of cumin and the chickpea paneer dish tasted like it had some sort of sweetener and was also quite bland. The chicken was tender, to find something positive to say in this review! I put some pickle into the dishes to give at least some flavor. Overall, some of the worst Indian food we have ever eaten. The service was fine, and the prices are fine but the food was almost inedible.

Very good food and excellent service, great value on Wednesday evening buffet 😋

nice indian food in this small town.

We’ve been coming here for 18 years. Always had a fantastic meal. Tonight did not disappoint. It’s great we can come with our kids now. Jasmine and team are always so welcoming too.

Always have a fabulous meal when we come here. Delicious food, huge portions and well priced. Staff are so so friendly and look after us every time. Yasmin was so lovely chatting to us at the end of the meal.

Being able to book a table online for days when the restaurant is CLOSED is really poor. We booked a family meal online, walked into town, only to find the restaurant was closed. Both your website and your Facebook page stated the restaurant to be...

Went for a meal tonight for the first time food was very tasty and great value for money was made to feel very welcome from the lady and waiter this evening 🙂

Wow what an amazing place to eat. So many authentic and original ideas. Decor is amazing with several paintings from Steam Trains to a Lancaster. Was part of a group of 10 but table was laid out for 8, not a problem for the hosts. We were moved to a bigger table after we had ordered our food. Flavours were incredible, I had vegetable Methi and coconut rice. Prices are competitive and very good.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, food was outstanding and top notch. Owners very accomodating and hospitable. Highly recommend.

Came for our 1st wedding anniversary dinner. Lovely ambience, excellent service. Food was exceptional, made to how we'd like it with extra chillies. Well looked after by all the team, thank you all for a lovely evening and hoping to visit again in the near future!

Outstanding food and service Great value for money Thank you

Staying locally, I travelled into Faringdon on an early Sunday evening and got a table at the Viceroy without any problem. The welcome and the service was very good. The menu was well laid out with advice about the contents of some of the meals...

Good restaurant for a good Indian meal. Food quality is good, service is friendly and fast. Lots of locals coming in for takeaways which made it look a bit crowded at times, but it didn't interfere with us getting our food.

This restaurant served one of the best curries I've had in many years, the staff were lovely and the place itself was so charming

Excellent service .. The food was great. The service was super excellent.

I've tried many curry houses over the years, and the Viceroy is one of the best both in quality and choice. Run by friendly and attentive staff. Recommended.

The food was good, but the wait between our starters and the main course was far too long.

Enjoyed a takeaway, friendly service even though busy.

Recently had a takeaway from here, food was great with plenty of meat in the curry's, good sized naan breads too

Had several takeaways now and each time the food is really good. The delivery service is always very friendly and mostly punctual. Fairly expensive but I would say worth it.

Absolutely terrible curry. The chicken makhani was a swath of fat and cheese with a very weird mismatched blend of spices.The tikka masala was also subpar and mostly tasted of garlic, which meant you couldn't really taste the other ingredients. The delivery driver seemed like an alright bloke though

Enjoyed our first takeaway from Viceroy which won’t be our last! We chose a few main dishes and sides, all of which tasted very good and the portion sizes were great, we even managed to save some to enjoy for lunch the next day. The...

First time visit and so pleased we did! Food was excellent and plentiful. Service very good and staff excellent. Would highly recommend and will definately be visiting again when in the area

We stayed a few miles from Faringdon for the weekend and decided to eat at the Viceroy Tandoori. So pleased we did. The food was excellent, starters of chicken tikka (large portion) was so succulent and lamb samosas (large size), to often small samosas are...

WOW. What can i say. What a great little gem in Faringdon. Really friendly and the food was excellent. Well worth a visit to enjoy one of the best indian meals i have had for ages.

A lovely place with lovely food and great service. Well recommended

What a nice surprise! Fantastic meal, can really recommend the amiri lamb….service is out of this world, friendly, efficient and personal at the same time. Busy but felt like you had as much time as you wanted. This was the best meal I’ve had for a long time. And as a massive bonus the prices were incredibly reasonable.

Fantastic food !!! Delicious, fresh chicken tikka masala and garlic lamb tikka. We had a delivery service and we didn't wait long. I would recommend this place if you like indian food.

I suffer from a severe nut allergy. I've had take away from this restraunt a few times, however the previous two times, I have had severe reactions to traces of nuts in their food. Both times, when ordering it was stressed that one of the...

Superb cuisine from Dave and the guys

It was peng, especially the King Prawn Massala and Naga Chicken

Had an excellent takeaway from the Viceroy last night that was worthy of 5 stars on its own, but if I could give 6 I would as they were delivered by a very friendly lady who, along with our bag of gorgeous curry gave us...

Great service and delicious food

Delicious food and very welcoming friendly staff.
