⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible experience! This Indian restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for a memorable meal. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and beautifully presented. We tried the tandoori chicken and lamb biryani, which were both outstanding—the chicken was tender, and the biryani had just the right amount of heat and aroma. The garlic naan was soft and fresh, pairing perfectly with each curry. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making great recommendations. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine. We will definitely be back!

Shocked and appalled at this restaurants attitude towards food allergies! My partner has a serious nut allergy, we are always extra cautious with this to the point where I specifically called up to ask whether she could eat certain dishes (specifically butter chicken which she has had before here). I was informed by the manager that this dish is absolutely fine to eat, but he would double check and call back with any problems. Not hearing anything we turned up tonight and ordered the butter chicken, my partner as always informed the server that she has a nut allergy... We were then told that the dinner does actually include nuts, despite the menu (which clearly shows the allergens) stating it was nut free. I questioned this with the waiter and he stated that the dinner now actually does include nuts on the chicken itself, in response to asking why the allergen information was incorrect on the menu, he responded shockingly with "yes we should probably update that". Absolutely shocking, embarrassing and most of all, completely unsafe. What kind of establishment provides incorrect allergen information?! Unacceptable.

Table booked for 8.30 and we arrived at 8.25… and asked to wait in the front bar area.. another couple came in who had walked in with no booking earlier and had been told to come back in 30 mins and they got given a table at 8.35… we were finally given a table at 8.50 .. we were offered complimentary drinks and said could we have them when we were at the table. Another party of four people arrived whilst we were there and offered the same as no table for them either. Anyway in a nutshell… stale poppadoms delivered and replaced with warm fresh ones when we complained, bland pickles and sauces with them. Main dishes served with cold plates, hard rice. Mains dish’s were just acceptable but that’s it…just all round not good enough! Bill came with so called complimentary drinks charged ( until we reminded them) …. Strangely the place was full….. Do the majority of people just put up with this poor service and quality these days?

Dined on a busy Saturday evening. Staff in a flap, with no one apparently in control. No drinks offered on arrival. Waited 2 hours for main course to be served, with only poppadoms before that. Food was lukewarm, which we mentioned to staff, but they didn't seem bothered & there was no apology. Waiter cleared our table while one of us was still eating, even reaching across his plate in front of his face, which felt very rude. No deserts or hot drinks offered afterwards, and the bill didn't reflect what we'd ordered, so had to be amended. A very disappointing (and, incidentally, rather noisy) experience. On the plus side, the food, although not hot, was tasty, and the decor very pleasant. But will try elsewhere next time.

A spacious and very comfortable dining room and excellent, attentive service are two of the highlights of this Bangladeshi restaurant. All the favourite dishes are on the menu, along with some southern Bangla specialities. All very good quality and it felt a notch or two above your average curry house and more like a fine dining experience.

From start to finish it was a fantastic dining experience and I would strongly recommend checking this place out for a great Bangladeshi/Indian meal. The service was excellent throughout and at no point were we waiting to be served or waiting a long time for any part of the meal to arrive. The food and drinks menu's had a fantastic selection to cater for everyone and there was clear information for anyone with allergies, with the staff more than happy to talk through anything that you might not be sure of. The portion sizes were ideal and so tasty that nothing was left over and the side dishes that accompany the meals were perfect.

Service - after receiving our drinks, we were ignored for about an hour. No checking in, offer of drinks or letting us know there was a delay. Food - Eventually when the food arrived, 3 out of the four dishes were so very sweet. We tried to get someone’s attention - again ignored. Butter chicken - more like a korma and swimming in fat. Sag paneer no pieces of paneer and high sugar content. Hariyali chicken - instead of fresh and mildly spicy it was cloyingly sweet. We picked out what we could and eventually spoke to someone - they listening but didn’t hear what we saying. We got the wrong bill - no one apologised. There were two/three waiters in our section and they were arguing and unkind to each other. No one offered us the dessert menu ( didn’t need it as basically we had eaten bowls of custard). They added 15% service charge - which we refused to pay. We left no one said thank you or saw us out. Very poor service It may be award winning but for a Saturday night casual meal out it is a place I would struggle to recommend and not visit again.

Booked a table for 2 at 8pm on a Saturday night 3 days in advance. Arrive at 7.55, stand for 5 minutes being ignored to then be told to take a seat, nobody asked our name or if we had booked. Within 10 minutes another 4/5 tables arrived and we’re all greeted properly and again told to sit and wait. I kept trying to get someone’s attention but ignored. The whole place was full and very busy. 10 minutes went by, other guests waiting said that they hadn’t booked. I went to the bar and waited another 5-10 minutes being ignored to point out we had booked! Staff didn’t seem to care and seated walk ins before us. Finally we sat at our table 25 minutes late. Food was lovely however service BAD. Nobody seemed to care, we asked a question and waiters walked away rudely, 9.10 our meal arrived when we booked for 8pm. The place was SO busy we had to shout to have a conversation and to be fair we couldn’t wait to get out of there. I understand they’re a business who needs to make money but don’t overbook, don’t agree to walk ins when you can’t provide a decent service. Won’t be returning

Visited for a birthday celebration, asked for the table to be set for 12, 10 adults and 2 children (don’t have highchairs) but when we arrived table only for 10. Food ok but had to ask where our drinks were after waiting for 20 mins. Bought out wrong dishes, staff a bit arrogant. When the bill came there was a service charge of 10% which amounted to nearly £40 which we refused to pay as the service was poor. Overall won’t be visiting again.

I have been using Valley Connection for the last 15 years and always found the food and service absolutely outstanding. One of the best Indian restaurants for food anywhere. However on the last 2 occasions the food has been poor and dissapointing. I am more than happy to pay a bit extra for food that has always been exceptional but recently this has not been the case. I ordered a delivery that although arrived within the time slot was nowhere near the standard provided in the past. The rice was hard, the curry was generic with a lack of flavour and the order was incorrect. Such a shame from a resturant with such a brilliant reputation. Unfortunately I will not be revisiting in the future.

If you are looking for an authentic uk curry house experience this is it. Food was over spiced to drown out any flavour (if it was ever there in the first place), served with a side order of disdain by the staff. The bill was creatively managed, with additional drinks added that were neither ordered or consumed. Watch the fringe costs, poppadoms and dips are £1 per person per item, not cheap. For the price of the meal this is not value for money. Wont be back.

L’endroit est superbe, délicatement décoré, et donne l’impression d’un restaurant de très haut standing. Il l’est sans doute, culinairement parlant, pour certains goûts mais pas du mien, qui cuisine volontiers moi-même de nombreuses recettes du sous-continent. J’ai commandé un curry d’agneau, ce qui avait été compris correctement, en témoigne le ticket de caisse, mais le curry que j’ai reçu contenait des morceaux de filet d’un poulet athlétique, d’une dureté incroyable. Vu la sauce, je m’en suis rendu compte trop tard pour renvoyer le plat en cuisine et il faudra quelques semaines avant que je retrouve envie de manger du volatile. La sauce et les accompagnants commandés avaient peu de goût. Personnel très distant. L’ensemble est pour l’instant le repas le moins bon de notre voyage, excepté (et encore…) les cas où, pour des raisons d’horaire, seuls des sandwiches de grandes surfaces étaient à disposition.

I rang the restaurant to ask if they had received my order, they said yes it was ready so I went to collect immediately. I got to the restaurant at 16.50 for them to say they did not open til 17.00hrs, I said I was due to collect at 16.42 they said I would have to wait 30mins. as I waited I was offered a free drink which I accepted. When I got home the curry containers were only half full - bearing in mind they cost over £12 per curry! Saying that the food was nice, but what a total rip off!!! Word of advice - sort your website out, if you do not open till 17.00hrs it shouldn’t say you open at 16.00hrs! And say if your only providing half portions… barely enough sauce to cover the rice!

Hands down the best Indian food you will ever taste! We have tried many different Indians and we travel 30 mins drive to go to this Indian. Not the cheapest, but the quality and taste of the food is incredible, love the Balti chicken tikka masala! The staff are always really friendly, and service is on point consistently. The decor also feels quite classy. The only drawbacks are the service charge added to the bill which makes things more expensive and obviously just goes into their bank account (you can ask to remove), and also the soft drinks are pricey for what I believe is poured from a 2 litre supermarket bottle rather than a individual bottle or draught.

The food is nice here and the service I would say is average. However the bill at the end really left a bad taste after looking at how much each item cost. Some things were priced with completely disproportionate mark ups. For example one (yes 1) single poppadom crisp alone cost £1 per a crisp, then the dips or sauces are also added in extra. This meant a small appetiser of poppadom crisps and dip came to £12 alone! The prosecco was £27 and had a £20 profit mark up on it. A simple glass of regular coke was £5. And then just to make the bill even higher a 10% service charge was added onto the bill at the end for good measure. To be charging very high prices already and then add in a service charge too did not leave the best of impressions and sadly I do not think we will be eating here again as the prices for an Indian restaurant in Bury are too high.

I was even more surprised when people who came in after us and ordered after us got their meals before us. I was surprised when one of the dishes was wrong and they just changed the main ingredient and served it up again. I was not surprised when a party of 3 on the table next to us refused to pay the service charge. After such an awful experience we could not wait to get out and will definitely never go there again.

I went for a take away and asked for a lamb phal to be made extra extra hot because the previous time I ordered one from here it was too mild. Sadly they did not understand that a phal should be the hottest dish on the menu anyway but the fact that I made a point of asking for it to be made extra extra hot should have made them want to put some effort into making it so. What they served was so lame, AGAIN, you could have fed it to a baby, But the disappointment didn't end there, I also asked for pots of mint sauce, what they gave me was some yellow runny stuff that tasted of lemon but not a hint of mint at all. Even worse, I asked for coriander AND chilli naan breads, not one speck of chilli was in it, just coriander. I was disappointed the first time I asked for a phal from here but thought I would give them a second chance and ask for one to be made extra extra hot but they failed so badly that I will NEVER go there for an Indian takeaway again, even if it was the last one on the planet.The best place you could get a proper phal from was The Last Day of The Raj which was closed down to make way for stupid ugly flats on Station Hill. Their phal was for the brave only, the first mouthful would bring a sting to your tounge, the second would bring beads of sweat to your brow, the third would make your nose run and the fourth would have you running to the fridge for milk. Those were the days when men were men and phals were hot, proper hot. Their mint sauce would be creamy, white and minty and their naan breads would have coriander and fresh cuts of green chilli in them. If there are any Indian outlets in Suffolk able to make such I dish, I will be happy to test it for them and if it is good, I will become a regular customer.

First impressions were good. Smart interior, friendly and professional welcome. Ordered three starters and two mains from the Bangladeshi specials. Prawn puree a bit wet and tasteless, onion bhaji also pretty bland. Lamb tikka good quality and well cooked, but also rather bland. Both mains had good ingredients but were overpoweringly sweet and no spice at all . Like exaggerated Korma sauces. Horrible!

This is a spacious, light and airy, air-conditioned restaurant, with a welcoming interior. The restaurant and its tables were laid out nicely and we were greeted on arrival.The establishment was well staffed, and the waiters were attentive but not intrusive.The menu offers a nice and interesting choice of food, and we were spoilt for choice. The meals we chose were served hot, well presented and delicious.However, three service issues marred our visit.One of the side dishes we ordered was not served with everything else when our meal was delivered, and this was clearly unnoticed until we had to ask for it. Yes, the side dish then appeared, but it was served several minutes after we had started to eat our meal and did not accompany our initial tastings.We both ordered a dessert, the choice being made from the typical list of pre-prepared and frozen ice cream dishes typically offered by Indian restaurants. We each chose differently. One dessert was served quite a long way ahead of the other and had started to thaw pending the delivery of the second. How hard can it be to serve two ice cream frozen dishes together?Lastly, when our itemised bill was presented to us, it was completely accurate save for a final entry listing a bottle of Rioja wine costing the best part of £25. We had not ordered a bottle of wine, no wine had been served and we had not consumed anything more than beer, prosecco, and water. When this discrepancy was queried, the offending item was removed, and the bill was corrected.Apologies, such as they were, were mumbled and did not come across as at all sincere.The restaurant was well staffed, not especially busy and the staff did not appear to be under any pressure. How can such simple service mistakes occur?Wisely, we were not solicited to offer a service gratuity when we settled the bill.The restaurant was good and the food excellent. The service was wanting. On balance the former slightly outweighs the latter and we are prepared, in due course, to give the restaurant a second chance rather than boycott it completely.

Went here for our daughters birthday, staff helped us dress the table and were very friendly. Had a little wait for our first round of drinks but everything else was spot on. Everyone was very happy with their food. Fantastic and tasty!

We decided the first thing we wanted to do was to to eat a meal in a restaurant after all the takeaways so we chose this place as it's always been a restaurant to go for a special occasion. The evening did not disappoint, the service was very good, the experience safe yet enjoyable and the food is just as good as before. I always feel the curries here are a cut above other places and although it is more expensive than others we always return when we want to make the experience more special

Love this restaurant. These guys have worked so hard the last year through lock down to keep it all afloat. So pleased they’ve come out the other side. First time tonight that we are in and really is a delight.... cooked fresh, a real treat. Some of the best Indian food around for miles in my opinion. Thank you khaled ( Raj !! ) and the team.

Arrived to be seated straight away. The people who work here are always super friendly and really helpful. Popadoms and chutneys were brought to our table and We looked at the menu and decided what we wanted, food and drinks ordered. Wasn’t a long wait for food and it came out piping hot and so fresh and delicious. This place is definitely our favourite Indian restaurant and we will definitely return. Thank you

We have used this restaurant 3 or 4 times for takeaway during lockdown and 2 out of these times there has been a dish missing. On contacting them both times i felt that they act like I am lying. They tell you that they will give you a free dish next time, only to conveniently forget the next time! I was warned about this by a couple of their “old” customers and should have heeded their advice. Happened again last weekend and can’t even be bothered to tell them that there was a dish missing this time! They clearly don’t check bags before giving to the customer. It’s a shame as the food is nice, if overpriced, but don’t mind paying that if it’s good and all is in the bag! Will find somewhere else as there are many in Bury to try!

Takeaway only at present, but the food quality hasn't suffered. Goan King Prawns and Naga Masala Chicken still awesome. Naan breads not beaten anywhere we've ever been. Really good paneer too.

Valley Connection is one of my favourite restaurants. In normal times when you eat there it's not just the food that is fabulous. It's also the service, the hospitality, the attention to detail.But these are not normal times.Last night we ordered a takeaway and had the best curry of the past 12 months - beautifully spiced, generous proportions, cooked and served with evident care.I like my curries hot. My Jinga Dum Lamb Achari was just that - hot, yet with all the individual flavours kicking through. My wife likes a milder dish. Her chicken tikka masala was fragrant and beautiful.In these dark times of lockdown, the chance to enjoy such vibrant dishes beautifully presented was a real Friday night treat. Add your own glass of beer and it will help you to get through these challenging times.VC may not be quite there for us all in person as a sit-down restaurant. But as a takeaway venue it's doing amazing things. Recommended.

Although we have had nice meals from here in the past, the last one was very worrying, during the nigh we were both seriously ill. We did collect the food early so I don’t know if that was the problem and they hadn’t cooked it properly !! Whatever it was it has put us off returning.again.

We booked a table for 6.30 as we needed to be in the Arts centre for 8 o’clock, table wasn’t set already , they brought out poppadums that were stale ( yesterdays I reckon ) , we ordered within 5-10mins , not a difficult order just 5 curry’s and rice , no side orders to make it easy After chasing twice was told will be 10 minutes, so at 7.40 when it still hadn’t arrived ,we had to leave as we would not have time to eat it . We were the only people in the restaurant at the time ( can understand why now ) and the phone didn’t ring once for any take away orders .

Overall a very pleasant evening. The service was extremely attentive and we were greeted warmly. I asked for the wifi password as there was no signal and wanted some way to receive a message in case of emergency and I did feel that the excuse of it ‘not working’ was a little unbelievable. The king prawn butterfly dish was absolutely terrible. Burnt and almost inedible. The rest of the dishes however were very nice. They did say they were short staffed so it was possibly a blip.
