The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Jai Shri Krishna has closed! It's the end of an era! Babu has produced incredible food for 40 years - if you've not been, you have seriously missed out! Thank you Babu+!

Amazing staff, excellent food and reasonably price . Really friendly and lovely staff and the food is unreal . This is a hidden gem . Fully recommend!

We had no idea this cafe was here! It was a little hard to find in winter but what a treat once located. We had the mini rice plates which were a fantastic size to allow space for one of their wonderful cakes. The beef madras with all the accompaniments was delicious. We also had the tart with salad and potatoes. The flavours were all fantastic, the chef clearly knows they they’re doing. The menu is really interesting and varied, the coffee was excellent and loads of great cakes. We loved it so much we came back the next morning for breakfast, the Korean oyster mushroom roll was amazing and this is the first place we’ve had a good GF roll. 10/10 all round

Visited last night with my family,for my eldest son's birthday. We all had the set menu, each course was delicious and full of flavour. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will be definitely be visiting again for our next curry meal out.

Absolute joke of a place! We ordered 8 dishes, all vegetarian, including paneer tikka masala and received chicken into a vegetarian household, and religious members of the family ate meat for the first time. Upon asking for a compensation they asked us to come and collect the correct dish without any compensation. After arguing, being hung up on twice, and a complete disregard for our family’s religious beliefs, we were then informed that any potential refund would come out of the workers salaries! Highly recommend steering well clear of this place, we received good feedback from friends but we certainly won’t be risking it happening again to us.

Unfortunately, Sarada is permanently closed. After many years with a chequered history, it is no longer. Be interesting to see what goes in there instead. Now frequenting Agra.

In the area due to work and fancied an Indian meal so chose this place. I can honestly say it is the wordy Indian meal I have ever had. The menu was extensive. Should have known at the outset when no one was in there .. but it was a Monday night and only 6.45pm. No wine listed on the menu but got told to look in the fridge and pick one from there! Then given two pakoras as a ‘treat’ which were cold and hard, The papadoms had been cooked in old oil and tasted stale and the condiments were clearly scraped out of a jar. I’m not too sure that the Raita was actually a raita but it looked and tasted revolting - a grey/beige colour. My colleagues main chicken dish was passable but my main dish was inedible. Advertised as ginger and something lamb bhuna but was mutton. The meat was gristly and fatty and tasted terribly. The sauce with it was passable at a push. The one saving grace was that the vegetable side of Sag Aloo and mushroom rice were ok. There was only one member of staff, an elderly man who was pleasant abd asked how our meal was and so was honest. He took my meal off the bill without asking which I appreciated and we noticed he had crossed it out and it had been written as mutton not lamb. The actual place is pretty run down so maybe we should have just avoided … my advice to anyone else is to do just this!!!!

Great quality food and service. Very authentic dishes. Beautiful building with a lovely atmosphere, enhanced by the friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommend.

I know you have probably read my reviews before about this restaurant and to be honest I’m not sure how the Hawelli could improve. But every time I go, it gets better and better. Last night was absolutely superb. The service was excellent. The place spotlessly clean. And the food was just beyond words. The chicken in my curry was so fresh and tasty and my nan was perfection. My husband also felt the same about his food. We were absolutely stuffed when we left, but can’t wait to go back again!! 10/10 Five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 100% recommendation from me!

We had a large family curry night for 15 people. We ordered via the Indian Kitchen website the day before and specified a time to collect. When we arrive there did was ready on time, everything was there and the food was utterly delicious. So impressed, will definitely be using them from now on for more faintly gatherings 😁

Ordered a takeaway from here, all of the food had no flavour whatsoever, could have easily spent our money on a much nicer flavoursome indian. Will not be ordering again

Great, quick service! Fantastic flavoursome food!! Good offer & price too!!! Definitely highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
