The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Indian food

We used to use the Palace many years ago and after returning to the area thought we would pay it a visit - sadly a mistake. The evening didn’t start well. We were asked to wait rather than being seated while the staff sent out take aways. When we were seated the room for diners was cold. Guests were eating with coats on…. We ordered a drink and poppadoms and main courses. The main courses arrived nearly an hour after we entered the restaurant. The staff told us they had been prioritising take aways. The lamb dish advertised on the menu was really poor. There were four slithers of lamb and the meat was tough. The Chicken Balti was also not good - the dish was ruined by far too much rough cut onion. When this was pointed out to staff the response was to try and tell us that this is how the dish is served in India - laughable. Please don’t tell brummies how a balti is served India - we invented it…. After making polite observations to the staff they went into a sulk. We won’t be returning.

Excellent service and great food on our first ever visit. The waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. Nice decor as well.

Both main courses were incredibly sweet, the peshwari naan was filled with sugar. Very hard to eat. Something is wrong at Spice. Rice was fine, the plain naan was burnt. Very unsuccessful meal.

We found this little gem whilst spending a couple of days in the area, the food was absolutely first class in quality and quantity and as a regular restaurant diner for decades and having visited hundreds of venues serving curries worldwide I can honesty say this was one of the best I have ever tasted, with real genuine home cooked perefectly prepared fresh dishes.

Never had a problem with the food from here, always good at very reasonable prices. Thank you.

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!

Ordered on line, nice and simple, easy to do. Food was ready on time when I went to collect We had a range of meals, starters and all were nicely cooked, good quantities and tasted lovely. Well worth the money

7 years we have been frequenting this restaurant.... it's normally brilliant, tonight however, it has been the BEST ever !! My 60th birthday this week (no one knew), what a perfect ending to it. Well done boss (and team) !!!!

Excellent food and service tonight. Delicious well cooked chicken and lamb dishes. The restaurant is much bigger inside than it appeared from outside. We will definitely return. Two mains, rice & a naan, a large wine and a beer £40

I dined here with my friends for a meal, and the service was excellent! The manager, waitresses as well as other staff were very friendly. The music and vibe was really delightful, very relaxing. I have been to many Indian restaurants and might I say Alamin Tandori was by far my favourite. The food was really flavourful. It was finger-licking good! As well as the desserts. The prices are very reasonable as well! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Beautiful food! Was temped by Kam to try a new dish being trialled for the new menu, chicken naga sally. Definitely Sally Up from us! Tender chicken in a naga style sauce with rosti style potato on top, it’s going to be a favourite on the new menu! Thank you Kam for the recommendation!

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.

On a positive note the food was good any the price was really cheap 1 starter, 3 mains , 5 drinks £54. The place itself is very tired, chipped plates, plates that should be white have discoloured over time. We waited an hour for our mains ( the starter was to come out with the mains). 1 member of staff was quite abrupt, so I thought. Watching him work.. seems it was just his way. Personally I didn’t like it. Place was full and the phone didn’t stop ringing for takeaway.

We have come here a few times now and always absolutely enjoyed the food. They provide a fantastic range of dishes, some familiar, some new. Their prices are reasonable, and their portions generous. They also have Kingfisher on draught, and the service is excellent - friendly but not over-attentive. Great for groups and couples, I know we will be returning.

Absolutely fabulous Indian food. On this visit I had Tandoori chicken main meal with a plain madras sauce and a nan. Oh yes top food I must say
