The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Well I am really sad to write this review. I love the food , we always visit the restaurant but today we ordered a takeaway, but this was the biggest mistake we did !!! After waiting longer than said we were phoned to say it was arriving !!! But where? It was a total shambles trying to phone the delivery person and after walking round looking for him, nowhere to be found we had to forget the delivery! And the restaurant manager didn’t seem to be bothered 😢 such a shame as I love the banter when we visit. Saturday night ruined 😠 and I’m sad because I will have to go elsewhere 😢

Went in based on other people's Google reviews, and they appeared to have a good South Indian menu. Given a table for one, far end (from door) next to the bar/ till. Food: well prepared, tasted excellent. But, only 4 pieces of chicken in the Kerala Chicken Curry. Asked for water 3x, finally got 1 glass. One of the staff needed an extra chair for another group. With permission, my jacket was placed on the chair by a large empty table. Confused as to why he could just not have picked up that chair, which was exactly the same distance from him as the one with my jacket 🤔. Went to the washroom while waiting for my meal order to arrive. My drink, cutlery, and empty plate were still in place. Returned a few seconds later, my chair was given to another customer. However, if it was taken, I feel it shows the character and personality of the customer base (and the staff) of this restaurant. There was another empty chair closer to this new customer. Therefore, my suspicion is that this is a family, relatives, and friends (of the staff and owners) only restaurant. Atmosphere: it's only for family, extended relatives, and friends of the owners/ staff. So, yes, anyone else who feels or felt that they weren't welcome, I would say they were/ are correct, and most likely you were/ are not on the friends list with this group. Would not recommend it to anyone else at any time. There are plenty of other restaurants from the Indian subcontinent serving South Indian food.

If we hadn’t picked the order up I would never have believed it had been cooked in this establishment

We were with a large party for a family birthday. A variety of meals were well received by two generations and the standard of all was first class and all courses were enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for providing a convivial atmosphere and excellent food for our celebration.

What has happened to this place? No greeting on entering, the waiter was wearing jeans and had the personality of lump of wood, trying to explain to him that my wife wanted poppadoms the same time as my starter would of made a good comedy on TV. The sheer kebab was really bland with no flavour. Main course was OK but the nan bread was so thin it came like a giant crispbread, but the best is when we were asked what we would like to drink only to be told that they can not serve alcohol as they have no licence.

Lovely restaurant with super staff. Excellent meal. Absolutely the best curry that I have ever had. Popadoms and dips very fresh. Delicious Chicken Tikka Korai with pilau rice and garlic naan. Extremely good value for money with wine very reasonably priced. Shall definitely return.

Absolutely awful experience. Our order was over an hour late, which is frustrating enough — but what made it worse was the complete lack of communication. We called over 50 times (yes, 52 — we counted), and no one answered. When someone finally did pick up, they blatantly lied, claiming they had called us when the delivery was out. No missed calls, no messages — just pure dishonesty. If they had just been honest or picked up the phone, this could’ve been handled so much better. But the disrespect and lack of accountability were unbelievable. We won’t be ordering from here again — and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values their time or money.

To be transparent, this was our first visit to an Indian restaurant in the UK so maybe it's a case of local tastes. Also because you never know what an individual restaurant considers mild vs hot, we ordered conservatively. The onion bhaji namesake dish was the standout. We didn't finish the chicken korma, very bland, could have been any kind of creamy sauce. Looked like a squash puree with some chunks of chicken. We also left naan, which we never do! But the weirdest, biggest disappointment was the saag paneer. We couldn't find any chunks of paneer, and it was gooey like it had shredded mozzarella. (I expect lightly browned cubes of paneer.) Again, maybe it's our lack of familiarity with local custom, but this was wildly disappointing.

Had chicken tikka from the van at Rougham Estate at the weekend. It was so disappointing, tasted nothing like chicken tikka, massively overpriced. The samosa were lovely but the curry was horrible, never again.

Great takeaway, very reasonably priced. Made fresh and generous portions. Ordered on a Saturday evening and ready to collect within 20 minutes. Arrived and it was ready on time and piping hot.

Visited here 22 February 2025 and highly recommend it for the friendly service from start to when we left, and the delicious food with the perfect blend of spices to give enough heat. We usually like medium/hot. It was a delight to not have loads of added salt which I usually get with vegetarian food. I would definitely return.

Este es un restaurante fantástico! El personal es increíblemente amable, la comida es deliciosa, y los precios son muy razonables. Muy recomendable!

Ordered takeaway for more than 20 people with No onion no Garlic and no Hing from this lovelly place. The food tasted absolutely delicious 😋 We even got their lovely mint sauce. Definatly recommend.

Lovely little food spot close to Bradford Town and walking distance from Uni/College. The staff and host were very lovely and accommodating. One of the host was called Sikander (sorry if spelt wrong), he was well mannered, calm and attentive to the table and other diners. The food was delicious, came out to the table quite quickly too, the portion sizes were big/decent. The atmosphere was calm, so made a pleasant dining experience. Noise level was low, so was good if you want to head there and actually have nice food and a chat with friends/family. The only thing I would mention is for payment method, one person pays full cash for the table or one person pays via card. They dont have the option to do split bills for a table with multiple people. So keep this in mind. This didn't hinder anything while we were there but something to note for a next visit!
