The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Amazing food as always and very happy and helpful staff. Really nice food with a great atmosphere, Highly recommended restaurant

2nd time my sister being home from France that we’ve come for dinner. Thank you again for making our evening so special and especially interacting with the boys about the football they were following. Those small touches make such a difference. The food is amazing as is the customer service is second to none. See you next time!

On the Restaurant website its says as sports bar. So went there over the to watch CL games, but the tele was not on . When requested turned it on but with no volume .. But food was good .. I think the restaurant should not call them as sports bar !!!

We have used Saffron for a few years and it has been super tasty. Unfortunately, the last couple of times just haven't been the same. The bread has suddenly become very dense, thick and almost undercooked. Today my chicken tikka didn't come with the usual salad or yogurt dressing. I love these parts and I really missed them. It was really disappointing as they are an integral part to the dish. I think we're going to try somewhere else now. Such a shame.

Great food.. 👌 The railway curry and lamb biriyani were really delicious... Also comes with great quality + quantity.. The prices are pretty much reasonable... I would highly recommend...

Just a delivery £55 for the two of us . It’s shocking !!! Watered down masala sauce and when I rang to complain he said it’s the water in it!!! What it should be cream . Tandoori was re heated . But when he started defending him self I hung up . I told them it’s on the side in my kitchen I’m not eating it . Rude rude . Normally good food here . When I asked if the chef had changed they said no…. And I had 2 pieces of lamb in my bhuna .. SHOCKING .. they not even rang back to apologise.. . I’m the one on priorslee lads if you decide to get your food back I did tell u where I lived .. absolutely horrible

another over rated restaurant service is good atmosphere is good hygiene looks good taste of good … something they should really pay attention to … naan (bread) basket is the only acceptable dish we ordered … chicken biryani, I read that many commented rice so soft & great … but this is like mushy & overall biryani rice taste simply not there (i think most other “ordinary” biryani seller do better than this Paneer tikka, no comment just dissapointed Methi chicken masala, ordered this so we can dip gravy for our bread … super heavy and super rich dish, I mean super super heavy, as if chef has put 5x spices required to cook this dish (we feel our stomach so stuffed the rest of the day, that’s bad) After our order placed, waitress recommend Papaddom (just 3 pieces) to eat together with biryani we ordered - best part is “after” accepted this “recommendation”, she commented to us that we must be hungry (obviously we ordered too much, then why not telling us, also pushed another dish to us?) Mango lassi we normally love to order, too thick and rich to finish … Maybe they pay all attention to services, atmosphere and everything, but … they forgotten they suppose to serve nice dishes?!? Because all this, this is super expensive & totally not worth the money … first and last visit for us 😅

Do not go the worst indian resturant . Food service and drinks. Abysmal. Needs to have a new chef as existing one not a clue

we have been going here for years now nothing is too much trouble service good and the owner and his team are lovely thanks for looking after us all this time

Went here with family and it was my first visit. The staff were very friendly and the place itself was very clean and hygienic. The food prices were very reasonable and would deffo go there again.

Many moons back, my Indian wife and I were havering about buying a house on the Cambridge hill, waked down for a meal at what was then Cocum, subsequently Nivedyam and now Pakka - and the quality of the meal led us to set up home nearby! I should explain that I am a Professor of English Literature and Religious Studies, and my wife, one of my first research students in Cambridge, comes from a centuries-old Brahmin family of Hindu saints and scholarly pundits. Hence, when we have visitors from our Indian family or academic guests from the world over to entertain, it is vital to take them to a restaurant that represents the best of Indian (and, in particular,of Kerala cuisine. So we keep a close eye and a sensitive tongue on any change to our much-prized Cocum and I am delighted to report that two visits now to the smart re-vamped restaurant, now PAKKA, have convinced us that the upgrade is stylish (though the image of Shiva is without his flute!), the food as good as ever (I am told the kitchen staff are the same) - and the student waitresses who are from Kerala, quite as charming as the food and decor.

Thariks has provided a consistent quality that keeps us coming back. Each meal is delicious, and the service is always superb. We appreciate knowing we can rely on this restaurant for a great dining experience every time. It’s comforting to have such a dependable place for our favorite Indian cuisine.

Excellent food and great service. We had a very warm reception, were offered recommendations and were able to tweak the menu to taste. Great night out.

We called in late on a Friday night and they would have been quite within their rights to turn us away but stayed back to serve us a beautiful meal. One of the 3 of us has coeliac disease, but was catered to without any fuss and was quite well the next day still. I would like to go back... hopefully soon!
