The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Indian food

Went for a meal with friends (6 of us in total) after a busy day. Food when it eventually came was very good. However the service was appallingly slow. We had to ask at least 4 times to place our order for main courses, having waited for at least 15 minutes for our initial drinks to arrive. We had been in the restaurant for an hour and a quarter before our orders were taken! After our meal, we again had to ask repeatedly for the bill. Eventually we gave up and went up to the till to pay, only to have to wait another 5 minutes for them to work it out. Very disappointing, clearly understaffed. A meal out shouldn’t take 3 and a quarter hours.

Excellent service and Food; could not fault from the welcome received to the tapas nice and tasty all very reasonably priced.

what a fantastic traditional Indian restaurant - excellent choice along with real value for money. The chefs signature dishes are definitely worth a try - would not hesitate in returning .

Such a shame. The food here is lovely but we have ordered three takeaways so far and have always arrived on-time only to be kept waiting for at least 20 minutes after expected collected time. This latest time we arrived to be told it would be at least 30 minutes and for us to go away and come back. Service just not good enough.

Lovely food. Service is great our favourite local restaurant. Tuesday buffet night is really good value. Well worth a visit. Nice local restaurant.

My wife and adult children had visited the restaurant on a previous visit to the sons new house in East Acton, then suggested it, after working on his house all day Saturday 7th September 2024 My daughter googled the Patri Restaurant and booked a table for 18:30, as we made our way there we were held up in traffic so called the number she had again to let them know we would be slightly late. On arrival we entered the restaurant to be told there was no reservation for us, the waiter then called PATRI Hammersmith and informed us we had been speaking with them, He arranged that we could dine here to save a further drive. Informing us that there was a delay in service due to it being a Saturday and they were heavily booked The whole experience was a pleasure. We ordered the Grand Thali a platter that we could not finish, but in the wait for the food they bought out free starters for us all to enjoy along with the beer The Chef brings the main food to the table and tells you what each dish is of the Grand Thali. The Staff were always smiling and helpful, even taking a game to a family who had a couple of young children with them who were noisy but happy to keep them occupied A Definite return visit will be on the cards, and recommend a visit worth doing. Not too many though we don’t want it booked up fully on our next visit

Always the most amazing curries from here

Wir waren 2x da, einmal zu Zweit, einmal zu Dritt. Das Essen war sehr gut, die Portionen eher gross, sicherlich ausreichend. Atmosphäre etwas laut, hat uns aber nicht gestört. Service, da gleichzeitig ein Take Away, war genügend bis gut, hat ausreichend und nett nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung war. Preis/Leistung war sehr gut.

We have been to Elachi multiple times now. We love the food and the service is great! Biryani, Naga Chicken and railway beef are excellent. Decor is also very pleasant. Highly recommend.

We had chicken tikka jawfrezi and chicken biriani. Both dishes were delicious. Service was great, thanks to Max, our waiter. Highly recommend to anyone with a desire for some reasonably priced, good quality Indian food.

We always get our takeaways from The Mitas - best in the village. Really tasty and full of flavour. Prompt delivery or pick up

A more traditional menu than the anglasised dishes in a lot of places, well worth a visit. It has no alcohol license but you can BYO. Parking at the rear, free after 6pm.

Worst take away meal we’ve ever had from an Indian. Had a Makhani and a Mowgli. The food was very watery and absolutely tasteless. Even the pineapple ring had no taste. We’ve had this experience there before but decided to give it another try. Most of my husband’s food went in the bin.
