The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

We generally use this outlet for takeouts. Never been disappointed. Tried a recently opened rival and it just wasn’t as good. So back to reliable old Zolsha. Spices always spot on. Never too oily. Meat always tender. Fish always perfectly cooked. No gristle. Had many dishes. Favourite possibly South Indian Chicken and Minted Bhuna. But it’s a hard choice.

Our go to place for an indian!!! Such good food, never had a bad meal from here, comes out piping hot and tastes delish. Staff are all lovely and make the dining experience even better. 100% recommend!!

Have been here for years and have never left a review. The food, the restaurant and the staff are amazing. Cannot fault this place. It is amazing and definitely a place to visit

Three of us visited on Saturday evening. It was lovely to see it so busy and the atmosphere was great. However, the food was pretty average and service a little slow. Nice to try, though.

We have visited the restaurant several times and had lovely meals so decided tonight to order a takeaway. Very disappointed in our meal nothing like we had in the restaurant. The vegetable curry was like a watery stew with a sprinkling of curry powder. The bombay aloo was just boiled potatoes with a very weak sauce. The lemon rice didn't taste of lemon . Sadly we will not be repeating our experience and will look else where for our curry

Ordered a takeaway. Promptly cooked for our big order (6 adults, one vegetarian) good quality food with large pieces of chicken in the main courses . Highly recommend

Almorzamos en equipo en Navidad en Jikoni. Tristemente nos fuimos todos muy decepcionados. El chef obviamente se enorgulleció poco de la comida y cómo se servía. Todos los platos estaban pre-preparados, y nada estaba muy caliente. Los entrantes llegaron tan pronto como nos pusimos en marcha, y algunos fueron servidos directamente desde la nevera - mi burrata estaba fría. Incluso las gambas eran bastante tibias. Nada tenía mucho sabor. El camarero recogía platos tan pronto como alguien terminaba, en lugar de esperar a que todos completaran sus entrantes antes de despejar la mesa. Peor aún -mientras comían la comida principal, a los que terminaban primero se les quitaban los platos inmediatamente y se les traían menús del desierto (mientras que algunos otros seguían comiendo su comida principal (! ) ). Parecía que nos querían fuera lo antes posible. No es cocina casera. No recomendaría.

Gorgeous food. Lovely staff. Really enjoyable

Dined here with 2 friends last night. Never been before but will definitely return. The food was delicious and good portions. The ambience was good and customer service excellent. Afghan chicken was amazing. Sweet but spicy. Can’t fault it and would highly recommend.

Had a delivery tonight. It was disgusting. Full of salt, hardly edible. The crowning glory was the charcoal reduced naan bread.

We were regular customers at the Toran before it changed its name and live locally. We popped in early on a Friday evening to order a takeaway and despite there being no one in the restaurant at all, we were told it would be 30 mins. As we live locally, we popped home and then returned half an hour later to pick up our food. It wasn’t ready, so we waited another 15 minutes or so. No problem at this stage until we discovered that our takeaway had been given to another customer who had taken it home! The front of house staff member was completely ineffective and tried unsuccessfully to contact the other customer to bring our food back. He then ignored us for about 10 minutes while looking for yet another customers order. At this stage, we asked for our food to be recooked, to be told it would be another half an hour wait. By this time, we had had enough and we asked for a refund but were told it could only be refunded to the card that paid for it - this was now at home! Another of our party drove back out to the restaurant with the card for the refund, to arrive and be told that they had recooked our order. It was blatantly obvious that our original order had been returned and had been reheated. Eventually, we were given a refund but in cash this time, and from the wallet of the front of house member of staff as he couldn’t work the card machine. We rang another takeaway as we left the stone burner, drove to Warminster and it was ready when we arrived and cost significantly less! I am afraid that the stone burner has lost a local customer. Poor service.

We are longstanding customers of Bharat and The Lion before it and visited recently with friends, it was the first time since Raj left. Unfortunately the food was disappointing and so was the service. Gone are the friendly staff; one of the waiters didn’t even understand us let alone chat to us. Barat was always a treat because it was a bit on the pricey side but it was always very good. We probably won’t go back now after 25+ years.

We had a lovely meal mid week nice place and lovely vibes staff were very welcoming and friendly food was fantastic very good would visit again next time we are here

We had our wedding reception at Hankies and it was absolutely fantastic. The food, the atmosphere and the service all exceeded our expectations and our guests were raving about the food long after the event. A special thank you to Florian who was wonderful to work with – he was extremely responsive, reassured us that everything was in hand and delivered the most memorable event for us. We could not recommend Hankies and the team enough!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff
