The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

This was our third visit to the restaurant. We were really happy the first two times but this visit was even better than previous ones. We were celebrating our son‘s birthday with his partner and all four of us ordered different things and tried each other’s dishes. We loved the sev puri chat pre-starters and then shared 4 starters. All were great but the paneer garlic chilli pepper and gunpowder prawns were particularly good. For mains we had grilled Marsala fish (sea bass), chingri malai prawn curry, Malabar coastal chicken curry and the chef made a chicken tikka pathia for us despite it not being on the menu. The chef varied the degree of spicing on a couple of the dishes as requested. We also had rice, bread and mixed tarka dal. We enjoyed everything. The dal was particularly good. We had a really lovely evening and would 100% recommend, just wish we didn’t live over 300 miles away but we’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Newcastle.

I’ve dined at Kohinoor many times since discovering it back in 2022 but I hadn’t had a takeaway until last night. I can confirm that their food is just as lovely to take away as it is when you eat in. The garlic chilli chicken I had was one of the best I’ve ever had and the portion sizes are massive! Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Southampton without a doubt. Love it here

Food is amazing and next level customer service! All hospitality establishments should look to these guys for tips as they go above and beyond every time I’ve been. Highly recommend!

So they say all good things come in small packages. Well, this place proves this to be true! What a gem of a find in Solihull. Small but perfectly formed. Ne sure to book in advance, its a very popular venue. Staff are warm and welcoming. The food was delicious. I had the chicken biriani and my husband the chicken tikka sagwala. We also had poppadoms and dips. All were perfect 👌 we were shown to our seats on time. Even though they were mega busy, they were attentive at all times. Food was served hot and exactly to our requirements. It was tasty and we both said it was the best we'd had in a long time. The price was was average. I expected the bill to be more than it was. Can't wait to go back. You do have to take your own alcoholic drinks if required, which we did. A nice bottle of wine of our choice with lovely food. A very successful night out. Thank you to the lovely staff who work so hard to make your visit successful.

Delicious vegetarian Indian dinner. Fresh ingredients in every dish. We loved the crunchy cauliflower entree & the vegetarian butter chicken. Kingfisher beer on draught is a bonus. Margavi looked after us very well. The place is full most nights, unsurprisingly. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved The Rajdoot!!! The chutney for the poppadoms was amazing (I don’t usually like poppadoms!) and we both went for the specials, with garlic rice and chilli naan. Elin was our waiter and he was so helpful when choosing the food and giving me time to finish it - I was so adamant I was going to finish every bite, it was that good. This will be our go-to Indian for sure!

The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. The meat all fell apart, so tender. Would absolutely come back, and bring all my family/friends!

Such a wonderful meal at Aladdins, have had takeaways many times but this was our first eat in meal at Aladdins. The service the staff and the food were all amazing, can’t express how good it was. We had free parking at the hotel across the road, just popped in and entered our registration. Thank you again staff at Aladdins, hope fully see you soo.

We have been coming here for quite a while now and the food is never anything less than superb, Saji’s gets a taste and flavour no other Indian Restaurant can manage , anywhere ! They don’t serve alcohol although allow you to take your own, and supply glasses and make no charge for this, the staff are always pleasant and the service excellent, we travel from Durham regularly to eat here and will continue to do so, were addicted!!

We spotted this restaurant as we were walking by. It was full of people & really buzzing. We checked out the menu & really liked the food choices. We booked for next day & the restaurant didn't disappoint. We were served with politeness & we asked for recommendations & they were happy to assist. Starters were the dosa, & prawns cooked fresh. We had the lamb biriyani. I had vegetarian dishes the mixed vegetables, mushroom & pototoe curry & the paneer spinach plus chappatti. The food was delicious & the spice was absolutely spot on for us. The service was excellent & we would certainly go back if we're in Eastbourne.

Such lovely food yet the service let you down. The lamb was cooked well and fell apart. Naan bread thin, crispy and tasty. Great flavours all round, Sadly we seemed to have been overlooked during our dining. We were offered one drink in the 1 hour and 45 minutes we sat in the restaurant. We also didn’t receive the chef’s complimentary amuse bouches, despite seeing other tables having them. We weren’t offered dessert or coffees either. Upon payment of the bill we did mention the service to the waiter, he said they were understaffed. Such a shame!

The food was served by friendly staff in warm smart surroundings it was particularly enjoyable for me because it was beautifully presented and was low in fat

Excellent 👌. Prawn puri starter was amazing. Delicious tikka main and spicy veg side dish. Really good, fast service and friendly staff. Thanks

Such a great restaurant - fantastic food and lovely service. The dosas are amazing. Very close to the centre of town and the station.

Superb curry dishes. Friendly atmosphere. Very obliging friendly staff. Meal was very prompt. Great evening to celebrate my daughters birthday.
