Vantage Indian Restaurant & Bar in Central Bedfordshire

Superb service Tasty Food Always a Good evening

Friendly and cosy environment, this restaurant provides food with great flavour for the ones with great taste. After a photoshoot, I tried their superb chicken tikka accompanied by some scrumptious lentil curry. Excellent!

Nice food, quick service, good and nice staff

Lovely food and staff are so friendly. Will definitely be back

Went to Vantage last night work friends, 4 of us. Been here before I must admit the food and service gets better and better everytime we come. Had poppadoms, starters and main course Incl bottle of wine and beers and bill was £65 per couple. Superb. Wife had the Chadnik Chow Buhna as did one of of friends and it was lovely. I had the Tandoori platter which was absolutely gorgeous. First time I've had lamb chops and won't be the last. The food was superb and the service was great. Left a nice amount of time between courses and was never rushed. They didn't add a service charge at the end but of course how can you not tip an excellent service and evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to each and everyone. Def our goto Indian for food and impeccable service. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Very lovely and polite staff, food was excellent and great value for money! Second visit and will be coming again soon

Had a lovely meal tonight. Excellent flavours, piping hot food. Great staff and a friendly atmosphere

Another fantastic meal at the vantage the staff are so friendly.

Beautiful food and lovely stuff. Will 100% be coming back

Lovely food, friendly staff and great service

no way to track he was stationary for 5 mins we went looking for them lol

Best Indian in Dunstable. Really. My family and I went for the first time yesterday and were really impressed - the food is fresher, tastier, presented better, and higher quality than the other Indians restaurants in Dunstable (we are always trying to find the best one but never tried here!) The protein proportion is even bigger, so better value for your money - you actually get a lot of prawns in the prawn puree starter - and across all dishes we had tbf. I had fresh water fish and oh my word it was so delicious! And almost a whole fish I had to take some home! I really recommend the lime and coconut 🥥 rice, yum! Service was loving & not over bearing - they were friendly kind and calm. The only tiny thing I would suggest to improve, just as a side note, is improving the lighting a bit in the restaurant as it was a little bit too dark. But I know some people like that. Thank you for a lovely night and beautiful food , mashallah 🤩🥰

Love the food which was delicious as always it was still hot when it arrived. The delivery men are always polite.

Lovely meal and friendly service

Lovely food and very happy to accommodate our party.

It was great, the food was delicious, the service was good and a nice atmosphere.

Knowledgeable around vegan options, enjoyed the meal. Would have preferred the brinjal bhajee cooked a little longer to soften the texture but that might just be a preference.

Visited Dunstable and Vantage didn’t disappoint for our evening meal. Exceptional food. Great service. Great people.

Love vantage. Really good food. Always our go to curry house.

Great food, great service! Reccomend the sizzling duck and the Tamil lamb 😊

Great food good value. This is a genuine review, Not A.I

Can’t rate this place high enough, food is absolutely outstanding! Service is brilliant. Well worth a visit!

Always friendly service and great tasting authentic food.

Lovely warm restaurant on a quiet, early week evening The staff were friendly and welcoming and helped me to choose a vegetarian dish. The restaurant looked very clean and the tables all laid out nicely. Only a few people there this evening but the atmosphere was still very pleasant and homely. The food was delicious and Manager chose well for me. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Ordered 3 pots of mint sauce but only received 2, firstly was given the wrong order, took into my house and noticed upon unpacking everything. Once the right one was received it was cold

Fresh food, great taste, consistent each time. Tastes like homemade.

Good Friday 2025. Really pleased to arrive at this restaurant after having Googled what's available in the Luton-Dunstable area. It really didn't disappoint. The business was well attended on this evening which was a good indicator. Started off with some poppadoms and chutneys - these were fresh and crispy. What I particularly liked was that the service was not rushed: orders for the starters and mains were not taken until after the poppadoms and drinks were delivered. The timing of the service at this restaurant was obviously well practiced. The quality of the food was apparent and the portions more than adequate. Be sure to specify the level of spice/heat you want in your food. I often forget this when going to an Indian restaurant and end up disappointed if everything turns out almost lacking of flavour and heat. The mains were delivered surprisingly promptly but in no way hurriedly - an overall pleasant and fantastic experience! Bill came to about £30 per head for 5 of us with drinks and there was no service charge automatically added to the bill. We added our own without hesitation.

it is easy to order the food, wait for it to be delivered and the delivery people are always polite and on time. The food is tasty and I always use Vantage

excellent food really enjoyed it

Portions were generous but food was cold and one dish was inedible with an acrid flavour. Other dishes were ok but nothing outstanding.

Love this restaurant, but please can I tip the delivery driver through the app? Other places allow this. I just never have any cash lying around.

We decided last minute to book a table at Vantage, there were four of us in total. The service was exceptional as well as the delicious food, we had a really enjoyable evening and would highly recommend.

Wonderful service and terrific food

Order delivered nearly 1hr later than exoected, messaged restaurant 20 mins after expected delivery time, restaurant also called me but then put me on hold so they could take another telephone order, then resumed the call to inform me that order was with the courier which was not particularly helpful 1+ hrs after we already expected it. Food was cold on arrival, had to be microwaved. Pretty tasteless. Ordered a mixture of tandoori dishes but only 1 x teacup size portion of salad arrived. Had to use own salad. Chicken bland and slimy. Had ordered from here before and had been OK but would not use again now after food quality and customer service.

Order was placed at 6:30pm, food arrived at 8pm. This was after contacting the restaurant at 7:30pm for an update. Unsurprisingly food arrived cold but was of very poor quality with slimy chicken and lacking flavour. Very disappointing considering the usual high standard of most Indian restaurants in the Luton area. Will not be ordering from here again.

everything was excellent, the food was very delicious, the staff were friendly

Great entertainment last night with Elvis , food was spot on and service with a smile , highly recommend coming along to one of these events and supporting the restaurant

Amazing food, lovely service. Everything has been 5*! Thank you very much

Food was 45 mins late, did apologise due to roadworks, (temp lights on Bidwell hill!), food was warm ish, korma was watery, jalfrezi was spicy hot but no flavour. First time ordering, won’t be ordering again unfortunately.

A fair review here, it was very busy all tables were full on top of the food leaving for deliveries We did have to wait to order the food but once it arrived it was worth the wait great tasting food and a meal prepared that is not on the menu I do that to see if they will go the extra mile and they did so thank you 🙏 Chicken Bombay all the way 💪

the food was later than advertised. it happens. They were busy and I fully understand it. as per usual, the quality was exceptional. They were also very apologetic and transparent about the delay. This app just said it had been delivered which caused an initial confusion. No matter. The food arrived in the end and I enjoyed it. Will continue to be my go to Indian in the area.

Such friendly staff, lovely food, fantastic night is guaranteed. We come often as a family and you can’t beat it in Dunstable

Fantastic Food as usual , Thanks Guys

What not to like. Lovely food and really attentive and nice staff

Excellent as always. Food was good and Malik the delivery driver was prompt and friendly

Food was cold, king prawn butterfly was over cooked, either the pilau rice or the meat samosa had an over powering taste of chilli and lastly the cheese naan really wasn't at all cheesey, sorry but i will not be returning.

Great food and great service 👍🏻

Very disappointing takeaway. All food cold and needed reheating, puddles of water as if frozen food instead of fresh. Naan breads were also cold and soggy. This was our first and last time using as used to a much higher standard.

Unbelievable food. Staff are great, they amend dishes to suit your preferences. They are attentive and every dish I have tried has been very nice! Very good atmosphere and friendly environment. Definitely my favourite Indian restaurant.

Ruined a birthday meal. Normally have great food from here however all our dishes were so watery the sauce was awful so couldn’t enjoy the meals .

Great staff and outstanding service , very attentive and happy to helpFood was delicious with plenty of options for everyone.

Lovely menu, lots of choice. The lamb chops were delicious. We are never disappointed when we eat here. It was a first time for one of our party and they were very impressed with the quality of the food and service. We'll be back.

delivery driver was very friendly:)

Chicken was very dry almost to the point of it being unedible .i just didnt like the flavour in general

Food was cold. Chicken tikka was brown and looked and tasted different to anything tikka I’ve tried…. It was not pleasant at all and we couldn’t eat it. I would not order again.

Usual Vantage quality, thank you again.

great food and delivered on time hot and fresh

Great food :) tasty, fresh. Perfectly balanced flavors 👌

I've always had great experiences and great food from here except tonight when I ordered a stuffed Paratha for £4.95. The first was awful with no stuffing. After a complaint they sent a second which was worse but warmer !!!! Always been happy but disappointed tonight!!!!. I was told that I would have a free replacement next time I ordered. I tried ordering tonight but was told they wouldn't serve me unless I removed my review!!!! I believe the truth is important so I've left it on view. Feel I'm being blackmailed so no more orders from me

food was completely cold, not even Luke warm

I have visited this restaurant more than three times. The food has always been delicious. In addition, the staff are very friendly and provide excellent service especially Ali Brother.

Warm welcome and great food at reasonable prices.

The food here is always fantastic. Every dish is tasty and cooked to a high standard. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff always go above and beyond to make this dining experience memorable. Would definitely recommend Vantage and will be returning.

Been visiting vantage for many years. Food and staff are always amazing. Lovely atmosphere and bery clean.

We have been coming to Vantage for many years, visited yesterday evening and as always the food was delicious. The service was amazing, the staff are all really friendly and can’t do enough for you.

Very tasty and generous portions

Usually I go for Dehli Beef, but decided on the Lamb Madras today, as I fancied more gravy .... the Madras was lovely..... veg pilau, sag also... everything was amazing..... However... . I did miss the Delhi Beef, so I'll go back to this dish next time..... can't fault this place..... the welcome, the service, the interaction with staff, the price, cleanliness is 10/10...... this is my favourite curry house ..... haven't had a bad meal yet. ......

Serves fresh, authentic Indian cuisine bursting with flavor. The dishes are perfectly balanced, and the attentive staff make the experience even better. A true gem for Indian food lovers!

Fantastic restaurant in Dunstable, great choices brilliant staff i always look forward to going to Vantage. Well recommended

Excellent food and the staffs are very friendly.

3rd visit - had Lamb Madras Only opted for this as I fancied more gravy... absolutely delicious ..... but not as good as Dehli Beef, will resort back to that next time Everything was on point..... def recommend Vantage..... service is still brilliant Can def recommend the Dehli Chilli Beef .... perfectly spiced, with veg pilau and saag also..... The Chicken Jalfrezi also got a thumbs up Service was on point..... staff extremely friendly......food came out hot (took a doggy bag home) perfectly seasoned The only downside were the desserts..... no vegan options, and we couldn't just order ice cream, which was a pity

Okay having given Vantage a swerve for the last 18 months after having a dreadful sitdown meal in their restaurant, we decided to give them another try. And what with the award they were given recently we couldn’t go wrong. Unless there are 2 Vantage restaurants which I doubt there is I cannot for the life of me see how this place won that award. Our takeaway was tasteless, bland, the chicken was so tough and chewy, the masala sauce was bland, like water.The rice and sides were total garbage

Amazing food and great fast delivery

Save the disappointment. We went there after we saw online recommendations and the food was a disaster

Wonderful food and great service

Called in without a booking. We were welcomed warmly. Service was impeccable, attentive but not intrusive. The food was amazing and as a proud Brummie I have eaten some marvellous curries. This place was easily on par with Birmingham’s finest. Absolutely recommend this place and will be back when I’m down on business in a couple of weeks.

A colleague and I were looking for somewhere for an early dinner. We saw this restaurant, it had a 5 star hygiene rating so we gave it a go. The hospitality was amazing, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We are from Birmingham so we know a good curry, this was on par with Birmingham’s finest. Food was superb, very tasty, I had the Tamil Chicken and my colleague the prawns. Service was attentive but not intrusive. I’m back in a couple of weeks and will definitely be back.

I visited vantage on Monday with my partner, we had a great time, the food was amazing and the service was astounding, the staff are very friendly and professional, this was the best Indian food I've had and the best service I've experienced.

food was bland portions very small

Food was amazing, and their knowledge of allergens was great. They were able to cater for gluten free, dairy free, and nut free. Staff were so lovely, Ali in particular was great and offered to take a group photo of us.

The food at Vantage is amazing, fresh, well cooked and an extensive menu. Service is friendly and attentive. I honestly cannot fault either the service or the food. We will be returning on a regular basis.

We as a group had a wonderful evening here.The staff are so friendly and attentive and the food is lovely and very well considered . They are always willing to adapt their menu to suit your needs.I really felt like I was visiting an old friend. Give this place a go.You won't be disappointed. Superb x

Had our Xmas meal here...food was good but a bit generic. If you've eaten food in or with an Indian family, you will know what I mean.

Very poor, service, booked for New Years Eve and then get a call a few hours before to say they’d double booked and no longer had a table…

Not received my order. States delivered but it has not been

Eaten here a few times, the hospitality, staff and all round atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food is cooked perfect with customer satisfaction in mind

Thanks so much for best christmas day ever. 2024 Food was amazing Service next level The effort the staff made was absolutely brilliant. Christmas dinner wow Brilliant brilliant brilliant

Ordered a takeaway on a Friday night - come on time, perfect temperature, super tasty, friend of mine commented on how tender the food was. Highly recommend

The delivery driver swore at us and the food was awful. Not quite sure how they are still operating.

Great food delivery on time Xmas Eve

Authentic Flavors and Warm Hospitality Vantage was a delightful experience. The menu offers a wide variety of classic Indian dishes, each bursting with authentic spices and flavors. The butter chicken was creamy and rich, perfectly complemented by fresh naan. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The cozy ambiance, paired with excellent food, makes this a must-visit spot for anyone craving Indian cuisine. Highly recommend!

Great curry, great hosts with Ali

Same great experience at 10 years ago.

Been going for years always been a good environment food has always been great. Fully recommend to anyone who wants the full experience

Had a meal here with friends over the festive period. First time eating at the Vantage. Initially we thought there was going to be an issue as they couldn't find our online reservation, but they quickly resolved the issue and found us a table. The restaurant was busy and vibrant (a good sign that others like the place) Service by the waiting staff was quick ,prompt and welcoming. We had a mixture of dishes and the food was of a decent quality and I have no complaints. Thanks!

Yet again amazing food and delivery perfect. Vantage is simply the best Indian restaurant. Quality choice, fresh ingredients and great portions!

First time trying vantage and it was wonderful. We were told about the banquet night which we didn't know about and that was great value. Good was really nice and staff were very friendly and attentive.
