The best restaurants in Holywells Ipswich East of England

Fantastic cafe in what was the Royal Oak, on the corner of Derby and Felixstowe Road. Good choice of food including vegan and vegetarian options. Great value, good portions. Friendly and efficient service. All in a good cause too.

For 40 years i have come here and the food and service are always excellent, the breakfast is very tasty too.

One of my favourite places to be. Very polite staff and the food is to die for.

The best Indian restaurant/bistro in Ipswich and the only one I set foot in. You know it's good authentic Indian cuisine when Indian's themselves eat there.

Nice food and very friendly staff

Ordered delivery. Restaurant was closed because deliveroo driver was late but staff stayed till late just for this order. I called just to confirm if they are still there or I need to order from somewhere else but staff was there waiting for rider. Person on call Sidhant was really nice polite helpful and understanding. Had a very nice experience

Great pub good staff great bands. Worth a visit

very annoying..late, we had to go out and had to eat our meals in a hurry

£15.39 1 chicken vindaloo, 1 poppadom, 2" paratha " *First review Vindaloo ok I suppose... So about £5 spent on a poppadom and two "paratha"? ... Paratha was like greasy terrible pancakes!... No layers!, none of the nice stuff... Binned. Not paratha.!!!.. I love Partha so screw you!!... So like 2 of them I think was £2.80... so like £2 for a single small poppadom or something.... Meh... Although small portion, Vindaloo actually wasn't too bad... Only had a piece of potato with the chicken , and flavour was ok ... I'm not gonna complain tbh was expecting a higher potato to chicken ratio so maybe I was lucky in that regard and it tasted similar to authentic vindaloo... In some ways...🤷‍♂️ ... But the sides...🤦 Soo badd!!!... Best part was the perfectly steamed fluffy rice... But I cooked that part myself ...😎

Love treat to visit this restaurant- we will be back!

We went here for a someone’s leaving do. I’d never ever go again. There was a ‘buffet’ laid out for us and to be honest it was not the best, serving spoons would have also helped with the 8 bowls of nachos with rock hard cold melted cheese on them. It seemed to be run by a group of teenagers who spent most of their time behind the bar messing about with each other. At one point the guy serving drinks was doing a plank across the bar (had his feet up on one side of the bar and his hands on the other). Whilst impressive, it didn’t fill me with joy with the thought of his dirty shoes up on the bar where they serve from. They let a group of girls take one of the tables we had booked. If this is what passes for service now days, im not interested. Avoid.

This place is one of Ipswich’s best. We stayed locally and went here for breakfast twice. The food is good. Perfect poached eggs; well presented dishes and good produce used. Prices are very reasonable. We had the avocado on toast with poached eggs, the bacon and egg sandwich and two huge glasses of orange juice; all for well under £20. Staff are friendly and efficient.

Looks abandoned... perhaps permanently closed???

Lovely outlook and great roast dinner
