The best restaurants serving Asian food in Forest of Dean South West

I've been to this restaurant twice now, once with a large group of friends and once for a romantic dinner with my husband. Both times the food was very well prepared, served in a timely fashion and extremely delicious. I think the only let down, if you can call it that, is the bar area can get quite noisy at times.

Takeaway only on two separate nights, quiet midweek and busy Saturday night. Lots of dinners enjoying food on the Saturday, but a very efficient takeaway operation in place. Food is great... Not your ordinary 'Indian', but much more subtle but still with a kick. Nice complimentary onion salad, mint chutney, mango chutney with poppadom. Highly recommended as a locals 'secret'....

We have visited many times and so far not had a bad meal. The menu is not massive which I personally prefer and the restaurant is small so the owner/chef can concentrate on the quality. Drinks are reasonably priced and service is always attentive and personal. The chicken Tom Yum soup starter is always brilliant, full of lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal and chillies, an absolute treat. The beef massaman curry is spectacular however pre book it in advance to make sure you get one as chef only makes a certain amount per day. Everything is fresh, tasty and good value. It isn't the place to go for dessert (only cheesecake or ice cream) but main courses and starters are so well executed it doesn't really matter to me.

Not been here was a while usually go to Folk and Spoon. I thought the food was pretty poor compared to how it used to be! Had Cantonese style chicken, was really chewy and tasteless. Prawn Toast was soggy! Think I'll stick to Folk and Spoon .

I have been using this Indian for a while and never had a problem till last night. I can honestly say it was the worst Indian I've had. The curry was completely tasteless and clearly missing some key ingredients, the Keema Naan had no meat in it, the Peswari Naan no coconut and the Mixed pickle was still frozen. There's no way I'll be returning completely dissapointed.
