The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Indian food

It was our first visit here although we have driven by many times. I don't know why but it never seemed to appeal but thought we would give it a go on our way home as the timing was right for our early Friday night curry. I must admit that it exceeded my expectations. It's very quite a small restaurant, probably around 10 tables but it is very nicely presented but a little bit draughty. The staff are excellent and were very pleasant, efficient and attentive throughout. You can't normally say much about poppadoms but theirs were thicker than your average which made them a lot more enjoyable. The dips didn't have a hotter option but I am not complaining. As usual we shared a sheekh kebab which was excellent, although it did lack those rather nice fried onions. I had a Korai for a change it was very nice but I would have liked a bit more sauce and the chicken tikka was a bit dry. The wife's Balti had a great flavour but she wasn't a fan of the chicken leg meat. The sides were very good although the chips weren't the best we've had. The bill was a little more than I was expecting, and they do add 10% service charge, however being able to take your own alcohol is a big bonus, especially as I prefer ale to lager. Parking was a bit of an issue but given that all the tables were taken when we left it doesn't deter others. We'll be back.

Visitamos en familia y no puede faltar el servicio o la comida. El personal del restaurante nos atendió y fue muy educado y amable. La comida en sí era increíble, grandes porciones y muy sabroso. Definitivamente volveremos.

Really good service Amazing food 10/10 Come again Made all feel welcome Ask the staff for recommendations they’re really helpful

We’ve been coming to the Mogul for over twenty five years. The food is always so tasty and the service is consistently good. This is our favourite restaurant in Ashtead.

Excellent evening at Indian Ocean staff are friendly and welcomed us had a great atmosphere and relaxed everyone enjoyed there meals portion size good well cooked and tasty I will definitely be returning in the near future

Food from here has always been tasty and good quality when eating in the restaurant however when ordering for a takeaway it is totally different. Over 2hr wait for cold food which at best was very bland and not up to their usual standard. Totally disappointed with service

No estoy seguro del nombre de un chico encantador que nos cuidó por la noche, pero él fue muy útil en aconsejarnos qué probar cuando algunos de nuestro grupo estaban tratando de ser aventureros y probar cosas nuevas. Para aquellos que no lo eran, estaba feliz de ofrecer su regular probado y probado cuando dijeron que no estaba en el menú (que se ofreció en lugar de preguntar). Normalmente no soy de los que sienten que el servicio es un gran problema (en realidad no estoy interesado en ser servido en absoluto), pero me di cuenta de que esto se sentía como un servicio realmente bueno, así que quería decirlo. Sin duda recomendaría.

I visit the restaurant very often, I’m a regular because the staff are always friendly and the food is excellent. I’ve never had a bad experience. My last visit I had a chef special prepared by Ahmed and it was amazing. Brilliant service from Alfie and Jewel and the the rest of the team

The food and service is utterly disgusting. We booked in for the 30th September. However, when we arrived we were told that our table was given to someone else and that we'd have to wait another 10 mins. 10 minutes passed and we were told another 15 minutes. If it wasn't a birthday meal we would've left and gone to the Shaan Restaurant. When we sat down, we asked questions about some dishes on the menu only to be responded back with, "you're white, stick to the mild dishes". I was gob smacked with the waiter. I requested for the manger but the waiter had already stormed off muttering "honky" under his breathe. Disgusting and racist. I got up and immediately left with my family. Never again.

Me and my partner came here to celebrate her 30th birthday, we were staying at the hotel down the road, honestly can not fault this place at all! We had a starter, 2 mains, 2 rices and a side and we couldn’t fault the food at all! Very tasty, cooked very well and the staff were amazing and were very friendly! Definitely going to come back! Thanks to Ju who was very welcoming and made the meal a pleasure

I know this is the best Bangladeshi restaurant within miles. Every time we come we are welcomed and the food is excellent. Highly recommended.

We had a takeaway yesterday for the first time. Ordered a whole chicken tandoori and plain paratha. With all the good reviews I was really looking forward to try it. After a long wait which was more than 40 mins (one of the guys even asked me if I ordered) sitting in the shop we had our takeaway ready. I assumed it does take time for chicken tandoori but was disappointed with the chicken. It was not freshly cooked was dry and tasted like a day old. After all the wait and to find the food not fresh really put me off. I gave 2 stars for the paratha which was delicious and freshly made. I’m sure their others dishes are good.

Food tasted great, went out of their way to organize delivery to an out of the way holiday home. Portion size was huge. Great stuff..

Came here for a curry club, absolutely phenomenal curry, arguably best I have ever eaten. Fantastic place. Will return.

4a visita ahora y la comida es tan buena como siempre! ¡Tanta elección y tanto sabor! ¡El mejor indio de todo el país! Servicio increíble de Jami también!
