The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Great to find a restaurant open at lunchtime. Visited yesterday with my cousin and returned today with my son. I'll start with just one negative - prawns were nicely cleaned, but the tail was left on which when hidden in rice was unexpected. That said the food is really delicious, especially the Aloo chaat. Staff warm and friendly - nice relaxing lunch. Will be back!

We went in 2023. It was our wedding anniversary in July. My husband booked with the previous owners. But unfortunately For us the restaurant changed hands in between. However the new owners went above and beyond to actually open the restaurant for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. How cool is that, they went above and beyond to honour their commitment. Food was fabulous and we had a great time. Thank you

First time ordering absolutely fantastic fast delivery food hot well packaged all very tasty fresh quality ingredients. Def recommend and will order again soon

Excellent Indian Restaurant.... had an impromptu lunch chicken pasanda, coconut rice, chicken tikka byriana.... it was delicious. Amazing service too

Been visiting the Goa for over 30 years and the food and service are always exceptional. Hassan and his team are brilliant hosts and are happy to give advice to those who need help choosing their dishes. Boxing up any leftovers is also offered with no fuss so you don't waste what you've paid for.

Komal Very good service, she helped us to choose delicious foood. The way she welcomed us was amazing, after hectic day I went there her servicemade my day. Will come again

Had a brilliant night. Polite lovely staff showed us what to do as we hadn’t been before. Food was beautiful! we really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff were so helpful bringing us another Pepsi seconds after we asked. Will definitely be returning soon

The best curry that I have had in a long time. Couldn't fault anything. Service also great. Good value for money and incredibly fresh and not greasy food.

Excellent meal. Friendly staff. We were on holiday and it was just the job. Tasty king prawn dansak and chicken korma. BYO drink option was brilliant.

Myself and my wife visited last night. Lovely food, particularly enjoyed my peshwari nann, the condiments with the poppadoms were very tasty. Best Indian restaurant in Ferndown 🙂👍

Had a amazing experience trying out new foods. The food is really amazing. The staff was really polite. One of my favorite resturants to visit.

I’ve gotta say, this Indian restaurant is seriously impressive. I’ve been here a few times before, but ever since they got new management, everything has leveled up. The new boss is really doing a great job, and you can tell they’re putting effort into making this place awesome. The food is full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and so satisfying. The service has improved a ton, too — the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. Big shout-out to the new team for the upgrades.

Table of 2 Saturday night 7pm November Service was great, very fast, very helpful polite staff but unfortunately that's the only positive thing about this review. seating is not great, not intimate at all, the only way I could describe our table is that it was down the middle aisle, with tables on both sides of metal rails. The tables were so close to each other we may as well have been a table of 4 with the strangers next to us. The table next to us was separated by waist high metal rails, but was so close to us we could hear all of their conversation as they could ours, no privacy at all. The restaurant could at least stagger the tables so that they are not as close or directly next to each other, honestly I cannot stress now how uncomfortable it was, and we found it very intrusive. We had high expectations for the food having eating in the lir steak restaurant, but the food was disappointing. Lamb very dry, chicken very very dry and the sag paneer had four bits of cheese in it! Flavour were ok. Over all wasn't anything special and we were left disappointed, for that reason we wouldn't return or recommend.

We discovered this restaurant as a pub closer to the cottage we were staying in was not able to open. Can only say what a discovery! Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere & exceptional staff. The meal was a good price as well for what we had. The food was, without doubt, some of the best Indian food I have had anywhere. the Raita was definitely the best one I've had. The curries we ordered were perfect, the meat was plentiful and tender and the sauces were superb. The Naans & Tandoori Roti were spot on. The staff were friendly, helpful and were smiling the whole evening. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make everyone feel special. My wife , mother and I all said we intend to return again in the future to repeat the experience. All in all, a restaurant worth making a trip to if you are in the area. If you don't try it, you are missing out on a great experience.

We gave Spices 4 u a try based on Trip advisor feedback. We were very disappointed by the quality of what we received. It did not reflect the description of the dishes on the menu. I ordered a lamb dish. Being a butcher I can say the meat used was a poor excuse for lamb and that the 4 cubes included in my meal weighed no more than 2 ounces in weight. The sauce was very bland and tasteless and of a peculiar foamy texture. All in all it was extremely disappointing and expensive for the quality and presentation of the food in my opinion.
