The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Indian food

Fish cooked lovely highly recommend would order again

Absolutely lovely place in Hanham. Food was amazing, well prepared, fresh and delicious. We ordered 3 dishes and all were very distinctive. I am not a fan of okra sides but this was so tasty that I asked for more. My new place to go if I fancy Indian food.

We had a warm welcome and all the staff were friendly. Our meal was amazing, the head Chef Ravi recommended some dishes for us to try and we weren’t disappointed . We will definitely be going again very soon ,I would highly recommend the Raj.

Amazing Indian takeaway great food ♥️

Lovely food delivered by very friendly driver. Thoroughly recommend

This is quite a difficult review to write because we’ve had many excellent takeaways from Saffron. Ultimately a recent, fourth, utterly terrible meal has proved to be the motivator for me to write this review. The onion bhajis were so dry, I would go so far as to say that they’d been made the day before and then ‘warmed up a bit’. They were pretty much inedible. Just hard lumps that, after much effort - and a sore jaw from the effort - eventually became horribly chewy. The mains of vegetable Dhansak and mushroom Bhaji were so terribly bland. Almost no flavour, other than a hint of pepper in the background and a weird, oily aftertaste which left us all feeling a little nauseous. As I say above, this is the fourth time we’ve had absolutely terrible food from Saffron, and such rancid concoctions probably account for 30% of the food we’ve had from them. As I’m sure you’ll appreciate, even when the food has been good, the ‘Russian Roulette’ of opening your food containers and not knowing whether it’s going to be (a) a winner or (b) a bin-er (it’s never somewhere in between) is really not worth the hassle. So, we won’t be using Saffron anymore. Time to take our chances with the various other Indian takeaways in the area and leave their unpredictable (and expensive) food to others.

Encantador restaurante indio local. Buena carta y selección de cervezas y vinos interesantes. Gran valor también. Fuimos el Día de la Madre y tuvimos el delicioso biriyani especial del Día de la Madre. Precioso chocolate blanco con hojas frescas de menta realmente delicioso. Recomendable sin duda volveremos. Gran servicio también.

Awful service awful food came from Birmingham to order a takeaway . First menu was snatched away by server then once ordered was told to go stand outside as I’m in the way lol which I never had heard before it was also raining the guy didn’t seem bothered and was rude. Got the papri chaat and honestly smelt bad and tasted worse smelt gone off avoid at any cost and will not be recommending to anyone

Booked a table for 8pm, we were seated at 8.10pm to a freshly cleaned table. That's the only good thing I can say about the experience. I must admit I was expecting Nepalese dishes, everything on the menu can be found at your local Indian restaurant. One dish, the Chicken Chilli and I quote from the menu, a touch of ketchup in gravy or dry. We had to ask for the menus, then we had to ask for our order to be taken. I then had to ask at 9.20pm,(an hour and twenty minutes after entering) if we were in fact going to be severed, 10minutes later our food arrived. During this time my friend had finished his drink, at no point did the waiter ask if he would like another one. The plates were cold, the food was so salty it was inedible, there was no spice to either curry and the naans were bland. The restaurant did not have any heating, when it was -2 degrees outside, guests were sat in coats or scarfs and hats. Back to the freshly cleaned table, due to the cold temperature it remained wet for twenty minutes. We were later informed the landlord was refurbishing the heating system that's why it was cold in the restaurant. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone.

I flew all the way from Australia to England just to eat at this restaurant — and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked in, the aroma alone told me I was in for something special. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cosy and refined, with warm lighting, friendly staff, and the kind of buzz that comes from a kitchen doing everything right. Now the food — incredible. Every dish was a masterclass in flavour and authenticity. The butter chicken was rich and velvety, the lamb rogan josh fell apart with a spoon, and the garlic naan was so perfectly blistered I’d come back just for that. Spices were bold without overpowering, and everything tasted freshly prepared with real care. Special mention to the house-made chutneys and the mango lassi — both unforgettable. You know a meal is extraordinary when you’ve crossed hemispheres for it and are already thinking about your next visit. If you’re in the UK (or even if you’re not) — make this place your next destination.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great hospitality, Highly recommend

Nice food, average price. Took a while to collect our food but it was a Saturday night. Overall would recommend as a tasty take away in the village of Stanhope.

The best attentive staff, it’s like visiting old friends. Excellent food! I’m vegan and they prepared a special dish. Massive portions. I know they do takeaway but if always want to dine in as it’s not far off perfect!

I was very much looking to a saturday evening curry which I ordered using the website promising 45 minute delivery. I phoned 90 minutes later to check where it was. The manager denied having received the order, was not only unapologetic but extremely rude and aggressive saying that it was not their responsibility. I spent the next three hours trying to have my payment refunded. In the managers defence he did eventually apologise for his earlier conduct. However, if you value your disposable income, free time and sanity stay well away.

La comida era excelente y a buen precio. El servicio al cliente era muy bueno y amable. El restaurante en sí estaba muy limpio y fácil de aparcar fuera
