The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID When we arrived at the restaurant we went to the bar to order 2 drinks,1 beer and 1 red wine. The barman attempted to charge us £19 which when questioned was reduced to £14. After watching the barman for nearly 20 minutes (not an exaggeration) struggle with a corkscrew I opened the bottle of wine for them, they then said they made a mistake and they only sell the wine by the bottle and not by the glass. They asked me to pay £30 for a bottle of red wine which can be bought from the local shop for £7. I asked for the manager who just wanted argue and tell me I had to pay for the bottle. We won't be returning and would advise you avoid the restraint unless you want to be ripped off.

Terrible, I've just ordered a masala and it came with two tiny bits of chicken. It was all sauce, won't be ordering from here again.

The staff is welcoming and helps you efficiently and the atmosphere is cozy and familiar. The food is spectacular, I definitely recommend this place

Halloween horrors (not the food)

Beware if there is only 2 of you wanting to eat out here. Waiter refused to let us sit on a table for 4 because there was only 2 of us. There were 3 empty tables for 4 plus 1 table for 2, but that was pushed up to the service counter and that was the table the waiter offered us. We didn't want to sit immediatly next to where customers would be hovering over us whilst paying for and collecting take-aways and where the phone was ringing and conversations between the waiter and customers were regularly taking place. When he said we couldn't sit elsewhere, I said 'we'll leave it then'. Then the waiter responded, in a sarcastic voice, with a 'BYEEE'. So that's a loss of income for them of between £1500-£1700 over the next year as we would have called in for a sit down meal for two every fortnight, plus a takeaway for two once a fortnight. We then had a meal at one of their competitors and then walked around Settle before heading off home. Whilst walking around Settle we looked into the Spice restaurant again to see if all the tables that we had been refused the use of, had now been taken. There were still 3 tables for 4 that were empty, plus the same table for 2, that is pushed up to the counter, was also empty. PS We had been to the Spice a fortnight earlier and the same waiter had tried to have us sit at the same table by the counter. On that occasion we asked if we could sit on another table and when he said no, we asked 'why not?' He then said 'ok' and we sat elsewhere. We didn't want to go through the same 'negotiation' for a second time. It's dimple, if they don't value us as customers then we'll spend our money elsewhere.

The boss was abruptly rude and asked to pay cash for 10% discount. Very disappointed. Felt very rushed and ruined my hen night the food is ok

We had to come into Leicester for personal reasons and thought why not get some sweet sticky food to take home. So I looked up sweet centres near belgrave road and this shop caught my eye. Having gone there we were very disappointed with the amount and quality on offer. I asked for a box of gulab jamun (1/2 kg). The first thing the lady said was “is that it?” (In Punjabi), which shocked me. Then she said £6 for about 6 gulab jumuns. Asked for money back and will never go back. Shop wasn’t busy only people cueing up for online/phone collection.

Extremely bad customer service. And poor hygiene. Spoiling the name of Asians by putting the name asian grills.

Please note that this establishment has no connection with the Redforte Takeaway in wollaston, when placing a order please make sure you have the correct phone number

The food here is absolutely delicious, and the friendly staff make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. A real highlight was watching the football match—it added an exciting, lively touch to the evening. It's the kind of place where the combination of great food, warm service, and an energetic ambiance makes for a truly enjoyable time. Definitely a place to visit for both great food and a fun, dynamic experience

Tasty food, friendly and delivered with care. Will defo be ordering again.

The food from here is quality and so very tasty. Have no issues about continuing to order from them. Highly recommended

No poppadoms no draught beer and cash only which we were only told at end of meal so had to go to cash machine to get cash.

Met up with an long time friend and it's the first time I have visited the restaurant since the recent change of management. The staff were very patient and not pushing us into placing our food order although the restaurant was only 30% full so no real need to crack on. The food was excellent, I had chilling chicken and pilau rice with garlic nan and my friend had a mixed curry with special rice, we shared a bombay potato dish. All of our food was perfect and very generous portions and we were given a lovely hot plate each. The staff were very attentive and 3 of them all asked if our food was to our liking. The prices of the food here have increased slightly but mo more than other local restaurants and I will certainly recommend Raj Durbar. Great food thankyou.

Just wanted to big this place up as I've been a few times now and the service and standard of food really is outstanding. I opted for a lamb biryani latest visit and the meat was cooked beautifully. There were 5 of us and all had different dishes but everyone highly rated the food. It always seems busy which is a great sign and I thoroughly recommend a visit. One of if not best in Guildford imo.
