The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Unquestionably the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to (I'm 66 so I've been to a lot!) Exceptional food, exceptional service, beautiful ambience. My wife and I happened to find this gem completely by 'happy accident' having arrived in the town by narrowboat. It is so good it would be worth returning to, even though we do not live in this area. Well done to the owner and his friendly, professional, caring staff 👍 10/10.

Very delicious and good service. A lot of different dishes and tasty food. Vegan and vegetarian options. Would come again.

Just the best curry I have had in the area I've been twice the staff and especially the manager Bibby are so polite and helpful and nice. They really can't do enjoy for you to give you exactly what you want and more. I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to try them and I went there because I was recommended to go there myself by several people I know. I wouldn't go anywhere else now is great and just up the road from me. I'm delighted they open there and it's a real treat to get a meal from there I wish I could go more often. Really try them you will not be disappointed Mal.

Really lovely food. You forgot my drink but apart from that amazing!!

Thank you for a wonderful meal this evening. The food was absolutely fabulous, the star of the show was the lamb achari - aromatic and smokey with amazingly tender lamb. The staff were friendly as always and really looked after our family and were great with the children. The quality of the cuisine has been impressively consistent over the years. We are extremely lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep! Update for 2025 - food quality remains excellent. Delivery service amazing too. Extremely quick and food delivered hot and fresh.

delivery driver was a STAR, food 5 star. only one gripe considereding we spent £28 disappointed that we only received one mint sauce.

I ordered milk chocolate cooking chocolate you have sent me dark I also ordered unsalted butter n you have sent me salted this is not what I wanted

We went on a very quiet sunny Saturday afternoon & sat in the sun in the yard.. gorgeous surroundings! Staff were very attentive, even followed us out to thank us for coming. We both got the 2 course meal deal for £16 & it was absolutely knock-out! Starters - lamb kebab & sweet potato chaat. To.die.for! The sweet potato would also be amazing as a main with salad!! Mains - pan fried sea bass & Murgh Methi Palek (chicken) Again.. both dishes incredible!! Food was so good we got the carrot pudding dessert to share.. it did not disappoint! We both had a couple of cocktails & shared a bottle of wine as we just did not want to leave! We felt like private diners! My go-to is Dishoom Edinburgh to ensure top-notch Indian street food but wow! Dabawal Jesmond just kicked its butt!!! We’re going back this weekend to treat the kids! Can’t wait!!!

Gran noche, recomiendo totalmente este restaurante, muy amable, comida increíble y especial gracias a Akshata por ser tan acogedor y atento
