Vivaanta Indian Restaurant & Bar in Warwick

Lovely looking place but the food is a bit of a letdown. I had the duck special but it was overcooked and gray! My wife didn’t finish her korma either.

Lovely place. Lovely food. Good staff.

Hugely disappointing. Misrepresentation. Dishonest practice. We went here with friends on their banquet night, Wednesdays for a meal deal for £14.95. On arrival told as we hadn't pre booked we couldn't have this deal. Nowhere does it state this on advertising material and menu. Dishonest, misleading.

Terrible dine in service - waited 15 mins to order and 40mins for our food - priority seems to be take-aways Staff unhelpful and dismissive - were aware we needed to leave at a particular time Food was ok but we had to rush to eat it as we were late for a a concert by the time it eventually arrived.

Lovely food low beams mind you're head

As regular diners at Vivanta and regularly ordering take out meals, we have noticed how much smaller the portions are becoming. Our last take away was literally a few mouthfuls of curry in the bottom of a tub. Goodbye Vivanta you have lost our custom. Don’t expect to pay your prices for such minuscule portions!!! Shame 😳

Fabulous meal and awesome service :) We often use the restaurant for takeaway food but have never visited the restaurant. We took our visiting family and our waiter was just incredible. On the ball, attentive but so funny, a real comedian! The food, as ever, was excellent. Thoroughly recommend!

First visit to this lovely restaurant and will definitely be calling here again. Friendly staff in a clean and tidy restaurant, with plenty of room. Comprehensive menu with a good variety of choices to suit most palates, very fairly priced. All in all highly recommended.

Worst place in Warwick to have food. Worst service, worst food, worst waiters, worst ambience. You mobile internet doesn't work when you are inside. Hotel WiFi doesn't work in the corners of the restaurant. We ordered butter chicken, which was kheer chicken. Food came after 1 HR 30 mins from the time it was ordered. For main course, while setting the table up, waiter dumped the spoons in one place and went. Waiters here take kids orders too without the knowledge of the elders. Please don't go to this place if you are an Indian and looking for an authentic Indian food to eat.

My wife and I had an amazing meal here. Great food extremely tasty. Great service and atmosphere. Had a giggle with the waiters. Highly recommend this place

We got a carry out not very tasty ,bland I would say .nan very small ,bought out a shop by the look of it ,not made in restaurant,disappointed

We had an extremely unpleasant experience. At 7 40 pm we reached the restaurant. Only two were dining. Rest of the restaurant was empty. The person who appeared to be in charge told that the restaurant is fully booked. He told at 8 pm all were to come. We were intrigued. We asked if a seat for four could be managed. He declined with a totally impolite and arrogant manner. We then were in the process to order a take away. 10 minutes later we asked what time people were expected. This time he told 8 15. By the time we counted that the restaurant had 50 seating at the main hall. And roughly 25 seating in the reception area. We then asked if all the 75 people were expected by 8 or 815. Then he further extended the time the people may come by 8, 8 15, 8 30. We asked if this was one group. Then he told it was separate groups. Extremely impolite and disgusting. Later we walked out and went to a nearby Thai restaurant. At 8:45 when we passed by we noticed that more than half the restaurant empty!

We had a very bad experience. We reached there at 7.30 and they said it is fully booked. The whole restaurant was empty and they said they didn't have even 1 place free. When we questioned them he abused us and told us that they wouldn't give us food. The staff was not courteus and had such a bad attitude. Indians do not go there.

Saturday evening and the place was buzzing. Great lively atmosphere and attentive service. Food excellent and very good value.

Visited Warwick with friends last night (Saturday, 20 July). We were made very welcome by the friendly and attentive staff, plus the food was excellent. We would highly recommend.

Amazing food cooked well and delicious 😋

Came here for some dinner before a concert at Warwick Castle. The food was really good. We were served by a young man who was very attentive and nice. It think he may have been new but did a fantastic job. Thank you to him for making our visit so enjoyable!

Loved it. Easy to book using the website and we weren't disappointed with the great experience all round.

A friend recommended it to me. I tried the Chicken Madras and it was spectacular. The spice mix and spiciness level were perfect, creating an authentic and delicious flavor. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I will be back!

Brilliant food, great service a real treat. Will be creating an excuse to return!

Visited whilst on short break in the area - a superb find Our meals were both excellent and the service by all the staff was very friendly and efficient. We particularly noted the quality and succulence of the lamb.

Superb, just a little cold in April!

I came to this restaurant after a long drive (100 miles) to relive an evening I had spent there with my late wife. I was given a lovely table and although I thought it would be a wonderful memory, I hadn't anticipated how emotional the evening would be for me. I was in tears remembering one of the happiest days of my life. The staff were extremely polite and helpful and very understanding. They patiently waited for me to order my food and there was no rush at all. The food was first class, the service was second to none and the relaxed atmosphere was a delight. I genuinely cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Sadly I can no longer keep ordering from here. Have been a regular customer for last 3 years but last nights poor service was final straw. Completely forgot to send the mixed grill with our order. Called and sent out as a seperate order - no apology from delivery driver who was on the phone when he dropped it off, sent 3 poppadoms as what i assume was means of apology but had forgotton to include the plain naan which is meant to included with mixed grill. Mixed grill was small and meat disappointingly dry. All of the portions were quite small and the naan breads are tiny. While on the whole i think the food here is good, the prices are very high and the service is often poor as described above. I have also regularly had to wait over 2 hours for delivery (quoted delivery time is never accurate). I feel they have become to reliant on their reputation and stopped caring about customer service. Very disappointing.

Very nice restaurant, quick friendly service service.

This was a great find in Warwick. The staff were polite and friendly. The menu was not extensive so I asked for salmon and egg. The waiter made up a dish for ne that was superb. Sadly we were pretty much the only customers in on a Sunday might which is a shame because the atmosphere suffers,but we enjoyed it

Excellent food, will definitely be going back.

The best Indian restaurant we’ve ever visited. Fabulous food, very friendly staff, waiter service is excellent it’s very clean and would highly recommend.

3 of us enjoyed a really tasty early evening meal at Vivaanta. We tried the lime ginger sea bass, lamb Hariani and chicken shaslick. Accompanied by soft and fluffy chilli and coriander nans. We will definitely be back.

Just thought we’d pop in at the last minute for a quick meal. Staff were pleasant and efficient. However, the Restaurant was very cold so we had to keep the coats on as very little heating Indeed the building could do with a freshen up generally. The Food was okay but portions limited , sauces nice but lack of chicken to go with it. Also thought £6.50 for 3 popadoms and the chutneys was excessive.

Lovely food and service. Friendly atmosphere.

Amazing food well flavoured perfect spice levels in my opinion, always pleasant and willing to make sure your happy with your food and nothing is a problem, we have had home delivery's too and they always do their best to keep you happy. Delivery times are good and always arrive in a fair time.

Super rude staff. Food was inedible.

Ordered food yesterday requested to make it mild spicy but the spice was intolerable. Called the complaint person was rude and not prepared to help

Ate there last night, food and service were both fast and great quality, recommended Indian restaurant!

I have visited a lot of curry places in my time. Some have been amazing, some have not been, and some have been good minus the service which has a lot to be desired. Vivaanta does both and does them both to 5 star standard. The curry is the best I've had in Warwickshire (So far) and the service is as premium as you would expect. Me and my family have been here multiple times and it has been superb every time. I've had takeaway from these guys as well and nothing quality wise was hindered. Cannot reccomend enough.

Didn't have quite a few options on the menu but overall the food was good.

Delivery time was too long but food overall was very good

The customer service is superb! This is fourth time but the staff are all professional and you have been take cared from the time you step on the resto until you depart from them. Excellent food and affordable for budget. Hope you wont change and continue to spread your professionalism to every customer to come.

We went for Christmas lunch. Fantastic food and service.

I have given this place 5 star reviews in the past however after last night not sure I would ever return. OK it was NYE and was busy as expected. However the time between courses was just ridiculous. An hour between starter and main! A couple behind us got their mains before us even tho they arrived after us. It would not have been so bad if there had been an acknowledgement of time issues, an apology etc. But there was nothing. The quality of food was also questionable. A tikka masala that was far too sweet. Everything else passable. Perhaps next year they should limit numbers as experiences like this can really put people off as it has me. Will go elsewhere in future. I hope their maximising profit was worth it

Lovely food , good service with a cheeky bit of banter as well

Ordered food online, had the worst experience. Their main ingredient in Paneer masala tikka is sugar and Coconut .When I asked them why they have made it sweet one of the employee said Paneer Tikka masala is meant to be sweet. Cheese Garlic naan didn't have any cheese. Wasted my 33 pounds here.

Great food, Good service highly recommend. And well priced also had a delivery from here some can say eat in and take away both great.

Amazing food. Varied menu too with lots of different dishes to the norm Indian. Waiter could have been abit more happy to be there but wouldn’t stop us returning

I am vegetarian. I Ordered a paneer madras. The sauce tasted of meat, specifically lamb. On challenging the waiter, and manager, they said....no only potatoes, onion and curry powder in the sauce. We respect people. Next time tell us your requirements.they sounded guilty. VEGETARIANS BEWARE!!!!!?

Extremely friendly staff, visited due to other reviews, certainly wasn’t disappointed. Wonderful

Excellent service Excellent food

This place was recommended to us from the pub which we stayed in. Menu choice was great and our recommendations were absolutely delicious. So pleased we chose this place staff, service was impeccable.

Amazing tasting and presented food with inspiring menu and great advice from the waiters. Staff attentive and knowledgeable about the menu - thank you had a great night. Shame that a booked party of 16 failed to turn up at such a busy time of the year - that’s why times are hard for restaurants they need customers to turn up when they book. Great night thank you

Haven't eaten in the restaurant yet only home delivery, I've found the food is spiced just right the meat is always tender and moist,I'm trying all the dish's that i enjoy and I'm on my 5th dish and enjoying the varied taste and quality you would expect, if you want authentic and i feel amazingly spiced and full of flavour give them a go.

Great food, amazing curries and the waiter is always very funny and goes above and beyond.

What can i say?? Yet another perfectly presented meal for myself and partner.. will be back soon for more!!

Nice food just a shame ur doing delivery service is awful and always an hour longer than the estimated time

Cold with a damp smell upon entering. Not a very Indian feel to the place with modern grey decor and modern music. Food was good and served in a timely fashion but we were the only guests.

Great Indian restaurant all the food was top quality and great service as well. Will definitely be returning.

I used to get a uber seats from vivaanta and I must say, the food was Amazing, but I thought I would go into the actual restaurant, so i went, I turned up and I walked in and the first impression where not great, dirty carpet, and the whole place smelt like sewers and cigarettes. The staff that greeted me was very rude and did not make me feel welcomed, it's such a shame that with great food meets with a not very nice restaurant and staff. And I know alot of people who think the same. There is alot of competition around Warwick with curry houses, but there is no way to compete if your restaurant is in such state.

Just received our food. Chicken tikka masala More sauce than chicken. Phoned to complain and wasn’t prepared to help

The food was the best one yet the staff where nice too a bit pricey but worth it

I regret to inform that the food was cold and very small quantity and the poppadoms for steal. The service was good, but the food doesn’t fit with the reviews that we read on Google. I regret them from the food was horrendous and super expensive.

Great take away. Ordered on line and picked it up from the restaurant. It was ready on time. Food good and hot,so all good.

Best Indian we've ever had! Curries were perfectly spiced and not atall greasy and the naan bread in particular was delicious. We went with our two young sons and they were very accommodating of them and made our eldest a smaller portion of korma which he loved. Good atmosphere and great selection of drinks. 10 out of 10 !!!

The food here is always nice however it takes so long to be delivered. Every single time it’s up to/over 2 hours and when you call the restaurant you get told “it’s on the way” when probably hasn’t even left yet. We even pre ordered and it did not matter. It’s a shame as the experience is always ruined by long delivery times.

Second visit to Vivanta. We brought friends along too. Attending a meeting in Gaydon and staying in Warwick. The food is just cooked to perfection!!! Presentation is top class. Four mains, rotis, naan bread, rice and 3 alcoholic and one soft drink £87. Food was piping hot and delicious. Waiting staff very kind and pleasant. Lovely atmosphere in this restaurant. A group of mixed ages guys arrived as we were leaving and heard our Scottish accents. We had a bit of banter with them. Turns out two of the group had a mother with Scottish roots! Glaswegian in fact! And from Southcroft St in Govan!!! Great night. I hope the meeting is in Warwick next year. Highly reccomend Vivanta.

Fantastic restaurant with great staff and excellent food. Will be our new go-to Indian restaurant.

Waited nearly an hour between starters and main course. Food was excellent but the overall experience was spoilt by the unacceptable delay.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve had. The Chicken Pasanda was divine. Beautiful decor as well.

Rude staff , watered down sauce and very little portions for the price , we had the chicken korma a very simple dish however was only 6 small chicken pieces in there and the sauce was very watery when it should be a thicker consistency with this dish . When calling the restaurant they told me that I was wrong about the amount of chicken and that I was stupid as they have lots of happy customers and then proceeded to call me a fat cu** and I was not welcome back . I do not wish to go back however I do wish to inform people of their horrible attitude. GO TO CASTLE BALTI NEXT TIME !!!!

On the last two occasions we have had a takeaway both times we have had to ring up on the two hour mark to see where our orders was. On both occasions the Bhuna arrived with a container half full and on the second occasion it looked like tandoori mixed in another sauce (it was 11.30 at this point and half an hour before closing so I believe there was a panic). Whilst we didn’t kick up a fuss, I think people should know their custom is being taken for granted. £35 is not a small amount. 2 hours is too long to wait for a takeaway. We never asked for money off, that’s not our style but an apology would have been nice. But the wait, the half portions and the lack of acknowledgement means we won’t eat there again. There are other establishments to try.

Slow slow slow , hour and 20 mins before starter arrived and hour and 40 mins before main course . Ready to walk out . The same for others around us . This really did not live up to expectations, food is very average too.

Great place we just choose the wrong night very large party behind us very loud . But good food and service

The food here was absolutely delicious, I had a mixed chicken and lamb tikka from the tandoori section. The meat was really soft and had a lovely flavour with a little heat in the background. The rice was light and fluffy as was the garlic naan. My husband had the chilli garlic chicken and said it was one of the best meals he has had in a very long time but was quite spicy. The service in the main was good but they could do with improving their communication between each other. Approximately 6 servers in the space of 10minutes or less came over to ask if we were ready to order, we just wanted to enjoy some poppadoms and a drink before ordering our meals, it made us feel pressured to order and was a little frustrating but other than this the food was truly delicious and would try again for another meal with hopefully slightly better service.

Last minute decision to dine here but what a great place. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was fantastic. Will definitely be going again 👍🏾

Absolutely fabulous meal and service from Ali and the team here. Booked a large party for a leaving doo. Welcomed with a smile service was great and food delicious

I don’t want to put you off, but this was awful and the whole party ended up immediately on the toilet. My food was dry and plain. Sorry for too much information! We had a delivery, never again will I order from here.

Very tasty food and the staff are very friendly and informative 👌

Absolute rubbish, warm diet coke out of a bottle at £3.95 a pint, mix grill was very dry lamb and chicken and the 1 prawn you get was cold, over dyed red dry shesh kebab, £15.95, chicken balti was made using pre marrinated tikka just thrown into a sauce containing loads of onions and peppers, as far away from a balti as you can get, the staff need to go to Wellesbourne market and try the kebab stall on the left hand side, super juicy chicken tikka and amazing shesh kebabs. We would never go to Vivaanta agin.....

Absolutely superb food! Can honestly say 10/10 highly recommended

Was visiting the area and tried this takeaway. Had a selection of dishes including the mixed grill and biryani - everything was exceptional. Would highly recommend.

The best India and regional food in the UK we've had so far

The food was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and beautifully flavoured. The price is a tad higher than average, but when the food is such good quality you don't mind paying a little extra. The only thing that let Vivaanta down was the amount of time it took to deliver our order. Took well over an hour - if it hadn't been for that I would've given 5 stars without hesitation.

Lovely food at reasonable prices with friendly service. We did treat ourselves to a bottle of champagne as well as a beer otherwise we'd have paid less than £20 per head.

We love Vivaanta, the service and food are always amazing!

Had a takeaway from here yesterday. Lovely, tasty and freshly cooked food. Nice, friendly and courteous service. Lovely crispy poppadoms. Very highly recommended.

I just had one of my favourite birthday dinners here. Staff, food and atmosphere were all excellent. Fantastic.

Had a couple of take aways from this restaurant, over the last two months, and both have been very good. Quality ingredients, nicely spiced to my taste and decent size portions. I don't write reviews unless something is very bad or very good, and it makes a pleasant change to have something good to say this time.

Delicious food, freshly cooked poppadoms and nans, friendly staff and great atmosphere, even for a Wednesday or Thursday night! We'll definitely be back again

Waited over an hour to be served. Food average

It's a Bangladeshi restaurant but food tastes good.

Food was good. Service was bit slow.

Wow! We've just got back to our hotel after the best Indian meal we've ever had. After a long day in the heat we wasn't even sure if we wanted a curry, but we gave it a shot and we are so glad that we did. Service was fantastic with timing paced to perfection. The food was to die for and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. A perfect meal out. Thank you.

Tried Vivaanta after reading the (justified) glowing reviews on Google, the food was exceptionaly good and there were several dishes on the menu that were new to us. Highly recommended!

Great food with friendly service. Nice menu and tasty dishes at a reasonable price.

We were staying at the racecourse campsite and were looking for somewhere to have a meal close by. Having read the reviews we decided to give the Vivaanta a try. We are so glad we did because from the moment we arrived to the moment that we left we could not fault the place. The staff were friendly and efficient. The guy who served us was particularly lovely ...joking and making us feel welcome. We had read a few reviews complaining of long waits for the food but in our case it was just right. There were lovely touches, like the waiter coming and asking us if everything was to our liking, then hot towels at the end and mints with the bill. The food itself was fantastic... beautifully spiced and well presented. We both had the fusion starters which were particularly good . Our curries were delicious too! We are hoping to make Warwick our home when we retire in a couple of years but we plan to return for several more visits in our motor home before that. We most definitely will be returning to the Vivaanta!

Must be one of the best Indian meals we have had . Just visiting Warwick , if we lived here would be going to this restaurant a lot !!

Great friendly service great food nice atmosphere parking not great off street parking only ( race meeting did not help the lack of off street parking spacing )

My friend and I have just started to meet here. It’s an hours drive for both of us but absolutely worth it! We have the Chicken Methi which I thoroughly recommend - it is the best we’ve ever tasted. Another fantastic dish is the Ali special - absolutely beautiful!!! Fantastic food and some great friendly waiters who we have some good banter with. A definite destination for any Indian food lovers!

I went to this restaurant with my husband for our wedding anniversary and can honestly say it was one of the nicest curries we’ve had in a while! The food was delicious, and the staff were so friendly - it was a wonderful experience!
