The best restaurants serving Asian food in East of England

First time there and we had kids under 5s and was part of a large group, we took up almost 3 tables as a big group. It was busy but not packed out despite our large party. Service was good and they were happy to separate the bill per family from the start. We said no spice for the kids and they openly suggested to replace the spice marinated sauce with just soya sauce instead. Happy with that. It wasn’t a long wait for food and it’s tasty. The portions are large so kids can share. They have their own car park and place is lovely and clean. We will visit again.

Absolutely awful, takeaway was so cold and dry , nothing tasted nice at all , will not be going back. What a waste of food!.

Quality of the meat shockingly bad. Would never order chicken or duck again. Egg fried rice was ok. Vegetable spring rolls were decent.

Another shout out for Mahumdal. Very attentive, polite and helpful, a credit to the restaurant. The restaurant is comfortable, with lighting which is neither too bright or too dark, music is Indian but again not too loud. (I love authentic music in a restaurant) The food was excellent. Poppadoms as other have said are fresh and crispy, that's always a good sign. I had a mixed grill which was a sensible size and very, very tasty, Saag bhaji, and naan bread. I enjoyed it all immensely, so broke my normal ruke and enjoyed a pistachio Kulfi. Everything was perfect. Finally decided to try a masala chai. I'm a convert to the chai. I will be back, I work regularly in the are so looking forward to my next visit.

First time here and it was great. Food, service, vibe. Will be back.

Sunday buffet , meal was extremely good. Pleasant staff.

Fantastic food, fresh, quick and fast ! I would most definitely come back to the restaurant we ate everything that was served and they went above and beyond for us.

hi there i went to the lounge India this evening,/09/2024 nice friendly staff, great service and fantastic food, the mixed plater starters were a meal on there own and were really tasty, the nann bread was fantastic as were the main courses, , i would definitely go back, well worth a visits, many thanks,

Amazing meal. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was of great standard and ample portions. 5 * quality. Would definitely return again

Very friendly staff and the food was delicious! As the restaurant isn’t very big you get waited on very well and don’t have to wait for anything. We went for an early dinner as we had our 6 year old with us. They were so lovely with her and she also had a great time.

Ordered takeaway chicken tikka massala - good. Pilau rice and garlic naan - good. The lamb Rogan Josh was on the menu as medium heat. No heat at all. Very few tomatoes and underseasoned as a whole Needed some salt. Lamb okay but could be less dry. Very light heat to Bombay potatoes. Delivery time - good. Price- good.

Had a takeaway this evening and it was awful. We have had food from this restaurant before and it was always nice so decided to have a treat for my 73rd birthday. I had a king prawn butterfly and it was totally tasteless and stale, followed by lamb passanda and god knows what happened there , lamb no flavour and not as tender as it used to be and the passanda sauce horrid. Not to mention the saag paneer which looked like a green mess. I’ve never had an Indian meal this bad before. I am so disappointed as the food from here was always great until now. Hubby had Raj special Biryani and the veg curry that came with it was a pot of oil and no taste to the main Biryani

Firstly the 2 star EHO sticker in the window is somewhat concerning, however the fact on the EHO website it is marked with a 1 star is confusing! The food is consistently inconsistent. Some visits is OK others not. Generally the restaurant and toilets need some attention to detail regarding cleanliness and the staff although polite, struggle to communicate effectively. Its a shame really as Newtown struggles for decent restaurants. I would need to see at least 3 stars for me to visit again.

Came here as the reviews were so good. The staff were very attentive. Found the pub very noisy even though we sat in the restaurant part, to the point I could hardly hear what my husband was saying to me. We had the Momo chicken to start which was delicious hubby had the Nepalese chicken which he said was really good. I had the chicken korma I felt it lacked colour it was more of a light green than a nice creamy orange like most other korma’s it tasted like it just been poured out of a tin chicken just had no flavour just totally lacked any flavours not a creamy sauce as described ! Nan bread and rice were lovely. Just sad that the Korma dish let it down. Also thought quite expensive for what it was.

Is this venue still operating? I placed an order online for takeaway meal on 11th July. My money was taken but there was no confirmation and the food didn’t arrive. I have tried phoning but no one answers. I have sent msg requesting refund but so far have had no response.
