The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

They catered for all of us including vegetarian and vegan options. Fast service, delicious food and friendly staff. One of our favourite restaurants in Sowerby Bridge.

Firstly I've given this rating on just the food alone as this was an online order from justeast. I've been generous with the atmosphere and service ratings (as I've never been to the restaurant). To the food, the sizzling chicken tikka I ordered was not cooked. Inedible. The Naga rice, which was nice included uncooked rice. Largely inedible. Will I order again, no.

We ate here for my father in laws 80th birthday yesterday, a table of 9. We were treated very well and looked after, the food was delicious and we left very happy. Big shout out to staff for helping my father in law in and out of the restaurant (he has Parkinson’s), facilitating a birthday cake and also for being able to cater well for my daughter with coeliac disease. They had many gluten free options and the poppadoms are gluten free! We will visit again soon.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) I visited Desi Bites in Leicester this evening and while the food was delicious, the customer service left a lot to be desired. The girl who took our order seemed a bit rude and not very polite. We had to wait quite a while for our food, and there wasn’t much in the way of customer interaction or a welcoming attitude. The food itself was tasty, which is why I’m giving it a 3-star rating, but the overall experience would have been much better if the staff were more friendly and attentive. Hope they improve their customer service soon!

Amazing food,driver very polite and kind

I've used Bombay Barn for years now. But after tonights service I'll not be using them again. Placed order at 7.30 and after a number of phone calls and being told order is with the driver and it wouldnt long. It turned up just after 10pm. Just warm and not very nice. But they did sent a free bottle of pop.

Delicious Alu samosa and Alu paratha with their red chutney.. love it .. reasonable price..tasty food..

Excellent service at a small event hotel. Bar and restaurant.

Well what a disaster! Going as a group of 14 for a retirement party (of someone who frequents restaurant). On arrival at booking time 20.30 ( having given a £10 per head deposit) place packed, people everywhere and most tables appeared empty of food. While we stood waiting, people , having booked, told us they’d been waiting a long time. After enquiring a number of times we were sat down to a group of tables thrown together and not set. No one came to take a drinks order but left us with menus. A member of our group’s mother came over to say that they’d been sat since 18.30 (time of their booking) but were still awaiting food! Now 9.30! We asked realistically how long it would be before being served when order taken. Told initially 40mins but then 45 -60mins in next breath. No table around us were eating! We decided to leave - despite having nowhere else to eat as now late and on asking we were easily refunded deposits with an apology. Du3 to disappoint and the fact it was a special occasion you would have thought we’d at least have a free drink ( especially as celebration was for a local, regular customer- but no! We all departed in our separate ways very hungry and greatly disappointed

La camarera rubia fue tan grosera. Pasé por delante de este restaurante pasado las 21:00 - ish y pidió una mesa como paseo - en la casualidad de que uno estaba disponible. Era como si hiciéramos la pregunta más ridícula. Se burlaba, estaba engreída por el hecho de que no teníamos uno. No crea la mejor impresión para esta sucursal. El personal está destinado a ser acogedor y educado, seguramente incluso si la respuesta es un no? No nos dirigiremos hacia allá.

10/10. Staff are incredible, the food is the best I’ve had and all reasonably priced! Couldn’t recommend enough!

My favourite Indian in town, I love to order from here they do great vegetarian options

I went there today elephant and castle food cold raise cold chicken cold when I paid he was on the phone did not even say thanks

Outstanding quality and taste highly recommended Will definitely be using it as a regular from now on

This is our first takeaway since you reopened…..very disappointing There were just four prawns in our king prawn Madras and the sauce was hot and thin when it used yo be spicy and delicious. We left most of the rice and sauce. So sad, we have been having takeaways from here for many years. Will not use in future.
