The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Indian food

One of our favourite restaurants in Cheltenham. The street food starters are great. You never know quite what they'll be like, but they're always delicious, different and a surprise. Nice to have some different curries and flavours than the usual British curries. It seems more authentic (not having been to India!)

Great food and service. Had a drink in the bar across the road whilst deciding what to eat. The quirky decor drew us to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. From the friendly and welcoming staff to the young man who served us and fully explained the menu and how it worked the whole experience was a pleasure. Both our curries were delicious as were the paratha breads that came with them. The lamb curry on the bone (so tender that it fell off the bone) and the chicken curry were fresh made and delicious. If we are back in Blackpool we will definitely have a return visit.

Best restaurant I have ever been to , food lovely ,staff very polite, spotlessly clean, made us feel very welcome, fantastic menu.

Just a very good and consistent quality of Indian food served…. Try a few dishes but I reckon one of the best Pathia dishes I’ve ever eaten.

We tried the early bird menu at £13.95 each which was such good value for money. Beautiful starter - onion baghee and Chicken tikka starter. Beautifully presented. Mains were delicious too! All foid was so fresh!

There was 14 us visited on Fri 18/10/24 for my birthday. The food was amazing from the poppadoms and pickle tray, starters and mains. The food was freshly cooked and so tasty. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was fantastic and friendly too. Highly recommend. I love their merg modhu shale it’s delicious, but one of our group really enjoyed the chocolate masala too. Plenty of choice and all tasted delicious. We will be back soon 5 stars from us all star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I had a lovely time at Spice Route. The food was AMAZING - best we've had in a long time! And the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

Honest pros and cons review: Firstly I want to say it was an overall great experience with friendly staff and amazing food. Please don’t let the following criticism keep you from trying the food. Now for the drawbacks: the plates, glasses, and silverware were, to put it frankly, dirty. Not the they didn’t wash it dirty, but more the dishwasher they used missed a spot here and there. The waiter and manager were quick to get new dinner ware, however, the issue persisted as there was grease residue even on the replacements and food particles stuck on some of the replacements. I’m a frequent Waffle House goer so some grease won’t stop me from trying the food and let me tell you, it was awesome. We ordered mango lassis, mango chicken tikka, butter chicken, and chicken tiki masala along with some regular and garlic naan. The food was amazing, the mango chicken tikka especially. The staff was very friendly, including the manager who was constantly going to all the tables to ensure our dining experience was the best it could be. After speaking with him he explained they just opened back up today (9/25/2024 or 25/9/2024) after being closed for two weeks and needed until Friday (9/27/2024 or 27/9/2024) to have WiFi set back up. I am very inclined to say the cleanliness issue will be resolved soon.

We came here last year when we were staying nearby and it was amazing then and again this March. The staff were fantastic, food awesome. One of the best Indian meals we have had. Thanks again.

Mooi restaurant, goed eten, zeer vriendelijke bediening. Grote keuze uit mooie gerechten. Ligging is wat minder maat merk je binnen niets van.

I attended with 2 friends for an evening meal on a Saturday at the Chilli Massala in Stockport. Got parked right outside (there's a car park within 3 minutes walk too if you can't). Very friendly staff greeted us and showed us straight to a prepared table. One friend then headed across the road to an off license to buy some wine for herself. They allow and encourage Bring Your Own Booze here, with no corkage charge. The menu has literally a huge choice, for one friend this was to be her first ever Asian meal. The waiters helped her to choose and then poppadoms galore with dips arrived (we'd asked for them). The sauces kept being topped up vigourously. I can't remember what we all had. But the main courses were delicious. Accompanied by a selection of naan breads and rice. One of the most delicious meals I've had a long time. Served by staff that seem to fly around the place to attend to the needs of those dining. Great place, great service, incredible food. Highly recommended. Thank you all!

Damn good service and food. Never had a Nepalese Curry. Amazing. Very attentive (but not too much). I was the only one here (early dinner at 430). Great little spot.

Great food, great service 10/10. Lovely, tasty food, smiling service and warm welcome, would recommend the place definitely

Really lovely food, ambience, and service, with interesting wine pairings. Engaging blend of well presented dishes paired with eating things with your hands which stops it feeling too formal. Genuinely different recipes and ingredients. A relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where licking the last of your delicious food from your fingers is encouraged not frowned upon!

Absolutely lovely staff atmosphere and more importantly the food was incredible best Indian we’ve had for a while. Thanks so much 🙏🏻
