The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

On my birthday, we always go to Akbars in York as it's my favourite Indian restaurant outside of Bradford. I was disappointed to find it is closed and I really couldn't decide where else I wanted to go. Living in Sherburn In Elmet I've been to most of the Indian restaurants in this area, and while they are all OK, I have never been blown away by any of them. I stumbled upon Jahan Lounge just through doing a Google search on local Indian restaurants and thought I'd chance it, and thank God I did. The restaurant is tucked away in Scarthingwell Golf Club. There is ample parking too, which is handy. you need to go upstairs in the club building to get to the restaurant. The restaurant is tastefully presented with a nice ambience, and there is a good selection of drinks for all at the bar. The food is literally to die for. It is up there with the best curries I have ever had. I had lamb chops for starters, which were perfectly cooked and so tasty. For my main, I had a keema karahi, which wasn't on the menu, but when I asked, the waiter said, " No problem, sir, we can make that for you" The curry is what blew me away. It is probably in the top three meals I've ever had in my life. The chef here is at the top of their game. If you like a good curry, this is the place to go. I am so glad I have found Jahan lounge because I no longer need to drive all the way to Bradford anymore, I have found a hidden gem right on our doorstep.

What a fantastic restaurant this is, 5 stars all the way. We regularly visit the Kesar and always have a wonderful experience. Food is exceptional and Abdul is very welcoming and eager to please. If you haven't already you must try this unique experience.

Best fish and chips we have had in years, the curry sauce was great, delivery was fast and they arrived piping hot, highly recommended; will definatley be using again

Myself and a friend ordered 4 small plates. The quality of the food is amazing, very tasty and incredibly good value for money. I cannot recommend Bambukat highly enough. It was very quiet when we visited but this restaurant deserves to be packed. Spread the word.

Este lugar es genial! Muy conveniente al lado de la estación Marylebone y el hotel viajado. Me encantó la comida callejera india en oferta! El Karak chai es increíble! totalmente vale la pena la visita, la comida era deliciosa también. El personal que todos tan amables saludan a Sharma!

Asistí a este lugar por primera vez anoche. Asistí a una comida del 20 aniversario de boda. Éramos aproximadamente 50. El restaurante sirvió una comida buffet. La decoración era increíble (globos, etc). El servicio y la comida estaban en el punto más plus! La atención al detalle fue lo que más noté que estaba cerca de ser perfecto! ¡Ya he vuelto a reservar! Gracias por todos los que nos cuidaron anoche. Fue muy apreciado😀

Best food ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️.I love food from this.their service also very good.I am regular customer from that day ,thanks cocked box Chefe xxxx

Amazing food, great service, overall experience was exceptional! Will come back again again. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! It serves delicious food which is made freshly on-site. There is a nice range of food on the menu and it is very good value. The owner is very friendly and polite. It is also family friendly - has high chairs, a changing table and a ramp for easy access. I highly recommend.

A refreshing change! Always loved this restaurant and new management have continued the high standards we’ve come to expect. Lovely new updated decor. More light. Food was amazing. We opted to try out the £15.95 option and we’re not disappointed. Absolutely delighted with every course we chose. Loved the freshly but light veg starter courses we selected. Almost too much overall for us. Look forward to returning very soon. Impressive and special thanks to our delightful waiter ! Well done, young man.

Rajdan has never disappointed me with their quality, I have been going there for years and they have always maintained great standards for their dishes. Even with an extensive selection Rajdan offers, the standard is never compromised; the dishes I have had have always been incredibly flavourful, accentuated with spice and with good quality meat. The sides are also a must have, be it the peshwari naan, poppadoms, mint sauce and the delectable mango chutney. It is a shame they don’t deliver but due to their outstanding quality and consistency it has never been an issue.

Love the food from amma! We are a vegan family, and don’t struggle at all to eat here. All dishes can be made vegan. They use probiotics and healthier alternatives to white refined flour. The prices are amazing! We usually spend £30 for a family of 4 and have left overs for the next day! This has become my favourite place to get a takeaway! ***** from us!

La comida era excepcional, tan llena de sabor. Realmente auténtico. Deliciosos cócteles también. Mi nuevo restaurante indio favorito en Londres. Todo sobre él es genial - la comida, bebidas, personal, ambiente.

The price are good and the food is amazing. They are a lot of choice, the staff is very friendly! I'll come back again.

Had a lovely evening. Food was amazing. Hosts Sapna and Sanjay very attentive. Will definitely visit again.
