The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Good meat curries, lovely naans. Good people working there. Feels a bit cramped inside but takeaways are good.

First time having a takeaway on Sunday night. Had the meal deal for 2 people and it went between 2 adults and 2 kids. Great value for money and food was delicious. Had £10 off first order too. Would highly recommend and will be using again

Absolutely amazing food and lovely staff

Service was very bad & dirty. One woman does not know how to serve papadoms. Drink & food services are very bad and slow. I took the food in the box, even the dog didn't eat it. The manager no longer works there. We will not go there again.

Best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. I'm a repeat customer, their food is out of this world. I highly recommend the chicken chaat puri for starter. Special deal for eating in on Thursdays - starter, main, side and rice or naan for £13.95.

Great experience. Fantastic food and customer service by Vansh. Thank you.

Absolutely pathetic service and so rude. I ordered a takeaway which never arrived. No message from the restaurant. I could have been left waiting for hours . When I telephoned them they said they could not deliver-- no reason given. Never seen such a response in my life. They have Zero eticate and are incredibly rude. They have no idea of customer service. Spend your money elsewhere . Stay away from this rotten outfit.

When the restaurant is busy it's very noisy. Probably because there is no carpet down. The food is very good.

Shame the food is good, because the customer service and delivery is absolutely atrocious. Ordered at 17:45 on a Saturday night, probably one of the first orders of the night seeing as it opens at 17:30. Food didn’t arrive until 20:05. 2 hours & 20 minutes wait… bearing in mind I live 9 minutes drive from the restaurant. Had to call 3 times in total to get my order, when it arrived it was lukewarm and it was wrong. I ordered a paneer tikka masala and a few other bits which came to a total of £22 and they gave me a chicken tikka masala, which I couldn’t eat because I’m a vegetarian. When I put the order in, it said it would arrive by 19:15, I left it until 19:20 to call to check where my order was. The guy who answered gave a very half heartedly apology, was sighing heavily on the phone in annoyance even though I was understanding and polite with him. He asked the chefs and it seemed they hadn’t even started my order an hour and a half after I made the order. He said 15-20 minutes wait, I said don’t worry. 45 minutes later… nothing… called again… said 3 minutes away. Didn’t arrive til 10 minutes after that call and the driver had a bad attitude as well as if us waiting over 2 hours for the wrong order and tepid food was an inconvenience. I called again to let them know the order was wrong, he said he didn’t have any drivers and I would have to wait 45 more minutes to get the curry out to me. I said forget it, give me a refund and he cheekily only offered a refund for the curry only. I asked him to process the refund now, and he stalled saying to call back later to get the refund. I said no now and he made the excuse that he has to ask the manager. I told him to get the manager and he said he will be 10/15 minutes. I put the phone down and drove to the restaurant and returned all the food back and demanded a full refund. The restaurant was busy and the guy I had been speaking with whispered under his breath so not to alert other customers that there was an issue. He whispered if he can just get me my correct curry instead of a refund and I said no, take the food and give me a full refund, which they obliged hesitantly in cash. I think they only gave me the refund because I was with my brother, but from the way they were being on the phone and other reviews I have read, I’m convinced they would have tried to avoid giving me the refund if I was on my own. Never ordering from here again or eating in either. Very greedy business. Wants the orders and business but doesn’t have the capacity to fulfil them, so instead of turning orders away, they make customers wait unreasonably long periods, do not keep customers updated, deliver food cold, don’t offer refunds off their own back in hopes you’ll just roll over and just provide all round terrible customer service. Such a shame because the food I’ve had once before was nice, but that previous order I had to wait 1 hour and a half + and they didn’t even know an order came through until I rang them about it! Avoid avoid avoid.

Great meal and great price for Christmas day We will certainly be back Real and sal were great waiters very attentive.

Updated July 2024: While the decor has had a positive makeover, it's been done to quite a cheap standard with wobbly tables and empty utensil carriers. There's clearly been a change in ownership/management. The quality of the food has dropped significantly, going from one of the best curries in Cheltenham to below average. Poppadoms seemed pre-packed, cold and thick like supermarket purchases. Curry was all oil, more oil than sauce. Naan was pretty good. Service was never the strongest point but has managed to decline too. We needed to ask for cutlery as there were only 2 spoons and a single napkin supplied on the table. There was some odd behaviour with drinks. Seeing half empty pint glasses being used to top-up fresh beers going out to tables. Hopefully these were just ones poured badly earlier. 2021: This place might not be much to look at but the food was excellent, best Indian I've had in ages 👍

Never a bad meal at ruby spice. Everything arrives piping hot and each bite is lush. I especially love the naan breads very fresh and soft

Best curry in Rugbyonly scored 3*on atmosphere as we only ever get a takeaway from here, but the place seems good.

Went this evening (new years eve) it had a nice atmosphere and the was good food. The dessert really hit the spot even though we were all full.

Very nice food and atmosphere. Can’t go wrong👍
