The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

If you're visiting the area, it's a must-do place to go. The authentic 'Indian' menu offers a good range of traditional dishes plus many unique dishes. The portions are quite generous, and the value for money is second to none. Well worth a visit.

Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and wide variety of dishes to chose from. Will certainly return.

I have been visiting here for a good 25 years, but now back in the area we’ve being going a little more often. Brilliant staff, stunning food and reasonably priced. Great to be back and so good to see if anything the food has got even better!

Exquisite food served from a lovely and in places divergent menu. We ate here for the first time this week and I am sure it will not be the last visit we make. Easy and free to park on the road outside (after 6.30pm). The staff were fantastic and my wife commented how immaculate their dress and demeanour was. Not cheap but well worth it !

A Good Friday family meal was enjoyed by us all here. I am a regular visitor when spending time by the sea here. The food and service are very good. My favourite is their Mol e-Mol Chicken. The surroundings are modern and extremely clean. The staff are smartly dressed and they have Kingfisher on draught. Of all the places that I eat in this area this is the best value for money and the Mela bill when it arrives is always less than I expected.

Yummy food and nice looking restaurant BUT don't think they are capable to host bigger gathering. 3 hrs of waiting...by the time it arrived around 10pm! (table booked for 7.30) i wasnt even hungry anymore. extra food (that was't mentioned to me in advance- popadoms and chutneys) it's not complimentary andadded extra to my bill which i wasnt expecting, over priced wine, staff unable to split the bills correctly etc. Overall, won't be coming back even if I'm in the area. And definitely not in a group!

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!

What has happened between the glowing reviews in December and our visit on 26th February? We received neither the excellent service or food mentioned. The food was average, the service was brusque and surly. It was quite clear the staff wanted to close the restaurant and go home (we arrived at 8.20pm), which was emphasised when they started bringing bags of rubbish through the restaurant as we, and the other occupied table were still eating. The prices on the restaurant menu were different to the online prices, but we didn’t mention it since we hoped to have a good meal. Once seated we were given paper serviettes, which the owner apologised for and said they’d run out of cloth napkins (at 8.20pm on a Wednesday?), we said it wasn’t an issue. We ordered two plain and two spicy poppadoms, the owner returned and said they had no spicy poppadoms, so we ordered four plain. Since it was a rare occasion when we weren’t driving we ordered the litre of Italian red wine offered on the menu, apparently that wasn’t available either. The bottle of wine that we were served was not the one we ordered, and still we didn’t show our frustration as we continued to hope for a good meal. When the food came the chicken biryani was ok, the chicken balti however bore no resemblance to any balti we’ve ever had. It was bright red, contained red peppers and lacked fresh coriander. It was spicy and tasty but was not a balti. When we finished our meal half the biryani was left and a lot of sauce from the ‘balti’ so we asked for it all to be boxed up to take home. Since several takeaways had been collected during our meal we didn’t think it would be an issue, but although the waiter took the two parts of the biryani to box up, he made it clear it was a nuisance. He came to clear the rest of the table and I asked for the balti sauce to take as well, that really upset him, as he walked away we heard him say “oh my god”. When the food was brought back to us there was only one container, they had poured the balti sauce all over the biryani, spoiling both curries! It hadn’t occurred to me that I would have to point out that I’d like it boxed up separately, presumably they don’t put balti in the same box as biryani for takeaway customers. It almost felt like it had been done through spite - and yet, despite all the frustrations, we’d been more than pleasant throughout the meal.

This restaurant has impressed us yet again. We turned up midweek to find it bustling and I am not surprised. The service was attentive but not intrusive and all staff were polite. But the highlight was the quality of the food. It is not the first time we have eaten here and have found the food to be exemplary. The appetisers were exactly that, whetting our appetite and leaving us in anticipation of the main course. This did not disappoint, with a jamboree of flavours and perfectly balanced spices they were a mouthwatering feast, with generous helpings. The drinks are reasonable too, and my wife has even enjoyed a cocktail with her meal before. I think we have found by far the best Indian restaurant in the area in Bhujon.

Always beautiful fresh food from Indigo.

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.

Always a pleasure to eat here. We normally go for peri peri chicken and Doner tray and naan. Great price too

Zara's is my favourite Indian Restaurant in South Cambridgeshire. Its dishes are consistenly excellent. If anything, the last year or so they have become even better! Starters are superb and the main dishes are fabulous! I usually have Chicken Tikka Bhuna which is a mild tasty dish in their hands with the right amount of various Spices along with excellently prepared Pilau Rice and Peshwari Naan

Oh dear what a shame, always been really glad id but had a very poor experience this evening. Starters arrived in good time but after waiting an hour & a quarter (and having to ask for them) the mains course arrived - cold! Don’t really understand as it was that busy. Perhaps concentrate on those on the restaurant rather than takeaways!!
