The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Very nice place food was excellent, staff were very respectful they placed a partition between me and my wife to give us privacy.

all food spilt, refund requested

It was my first time at chaiwala in Leicester. Ordered a Kadak chai and it was like a sugar syrup. Before ordering I asked if they made tea fresh to which the counter guy said that it’s just made 10mins ago. It looks like some premixed powder being added to water/milk. No taste at all. After having a sip, I complained that it was having sugar to which the guy said that you never asked for sugar free option. The first thing in their menu itself says Kadak chai (no added sugar). I said how should I have ordered this Kadak chai that’s the first thing on the menu. He said I had to be explicit about not having sugar. It was such a shame. Anywhere you go, no one adds sugar by default. And default here was sugar syrup. Not going to chaiwala again.

We got a takeaway from here and have no complaints at all food was super tasty and piping hot, this is a cash only business and be prepared to queue as it gets extremely busy, great food will definitely return

Never been here before.. Food gorgeous. Had paratha, Prawn biryani, Kebabs and freshly made tea. Travelled from west London. Well worth the journey. Asad was really good getting our order and generally really helpful. Thank you. I will be back.

Nice venue and been here a few times, food is OK but plates were full of far too many onions...also after I checked the receipt once home there was the £1 charity donation and also 10% service charge. At no point was I advised of these extra charges. Will avoid this place in future

We had the Chicken Korai and lamb mince bhuna. Both dishes were very bland in taste. All of felt uneasy with food preparation and sick. Won't be going there back for a while as this time the experience was not good 🙁

Lovely ambience, very nice food!

Foods good, but not a place to go if you are a large group as the place is a bit small and there is not much room if you are at the far end. It is really expensive here, I paid £ 76 pound for two people, and we did not order that much.

Have to say it was the best curry at home I've had in years ..and the complimentary pompadoms and dips was a nice touch

booked a table weeks ago, they called me to ask if I wanted to bring forward, I said no as its planned event, so they said see you in 2 weeks.... didn't bother to tell me it was closing! luckilly another restaurant could take the booking .

Always end up back here. We try newly opened Indian restaurant's but none are as good

Average at best! You’d think Crawley of all places had a decent curry house.

I am from India and the Indian food was very good . We ordered Dhal Tarkha(spicy) and Coriander Naan, it was cooked to perfection with perfect spice n everything nice.

We’ve visited this restaurant on previous occasions and it has been a wonderful experience, however not our most recent visit. Everything was a poor standard on this occasion. We were a table of 4, we had booked prior visiting however they kept bringing out 2 plates not 4, 2 glasses not four - we learnt they made an error on the table booking but surprisingly the staff were not able to see 4 people on the table and we kindly had to flag them back to being another 2 places (this was for starter and mains!) We asked for serviettes and waiter forgot, had to ask again. We asked for ketchup, waiter gave mayonnaise and chilli sauce. The waiter was rushing us, poor communication, asked us for our drinks order however he was yet to give us the drinks menu! The butter chicken was diced chicken which is not the authentic way to present butter chicken or any dish (diced chicken!) The nihari lamb was spectacular but by now we just wanted to get out. The toilets - one of the taps was leaking. Also it appears every table had a birthday going on, so music volume kept changing - the whole experience felt like a badly managed theme park.
