The best restaurants serving Indian food in East Midlands

Visited with our friend who lives in Kettering - food was not nice at all and neither were we asked how it was think it was quite apparent. The chicken had clearly been cooked seperate and thrown into the sauce like back in the 90s not a patch on B’ham curries

I did not eat in I had delivery , the vindaloo was bland not taste to it, the chips was soggy and the rice was over cooked, I spoken to raj today and said he was sorry but didn’t want to offer nothing, have been here countless times but won’t be again. If I could give a 0 I would

We have been a number of times when visiting the area. The owner is full of life and a fun character. At our request he chose our menu which was marvelous. Lots of fun and laughter, will be back again

We have been coming here for years but on the last few visits the service was intermittent and the food not as good as usual. Tonight was the last straw. Arrived 6:25 and ordered poppadoms promptly. I accept the restaurant was busy but with only two staff serving, there was a lot going out of the kitchen in paper bags with those who had come for a sit down meal left to wait. The starters arrived moderately promptly but the onion bhaji I ordered were the worst I have ever tasted in 41 years off eating curry. Cold and uncooked. We waited for the main course but saw other tables who entered after us served ahead of us. We gave them until 7:45 and left. My wife paid them for what we had eaten but there was neither apology nor recognition of the appalling service. We will not be going there again.,

Ordered Takeaway for 10 people for 6pm wasn’t ready until 6:20. The bill was 30% more than their internet menu prices which is completely out of date. The owner appeared indifferent. Most meals were tasty but Bhajis were soggy and burnt.

Went to the Castle for a meal on a Saturday and evening and weren't to be disappointed. Put simply, it was gorgeous. The staff were friendly and happy the entire duration of our stay and couldn't do enough to make the meal enjoyable. The curries were a flamin' triumph, literally and we just didn't want the meals to end. Every mouthful was beautiful, the meats fell apart in your mouth and the rices were tasty in the extreme. If you go to an Indian in the future, go to The Castle

This was our first time at this restaurant. It was chosen because of previous reviews and a location suitable for everyone. First impressions were good as the restaurant was warm and clean. We booked for 7 pm so quite early. The owner made us welcome and the waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The menu was varied but we ordered our usual meal ..very predictable but it arrived and we were very pleased. The pickle tray was well presented and we proceeded to the starter and main meal. By then the restaurant began to fill up and I noticed a steady stream of takeaway meals leaving. The restaurant is upstairs so some people with disabilities may find it challenging. I’m pleased to say the toilets were very clean and the hand dryer was working well. The restaurant has a 5 star hygiene rating. The prices and menu can be viewed online and seemed fair with no hidden charges. A good night was had by all.

Regulars, most Friday nights, we try others, more expensive, further away and always return. Always looked after, food is consistent and they will cook anything for you. The Sally is a one off kids love it , will leave for your imagination! Excellent 40th last night !

Ordered online and payment taken. 15 mins later order still not accepted, message from Just Eat saying they’re chasing. Another 15 minutes later the order was rejected. Great, thanks for that Not surprised reviews on Google are turned off Shows as permanently closed which they might as well be.

We were a party of 6 on a busy Friday night. Service was speedy, good humoured and attentive. Our mains included sea bass, salmon, chilli king prawn, chicken shashlic and lamb madras, vegetable sides, naans & rice. Food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was quite full and pleasantly atmospheric.

Had lamb chops which were so chewy and couldn't be eaten , possibly suspect they were sheep. Had sizzler which lacked flavour and chicken tikka which had a sticky sweet sauce and huge chunks of onions and red pepper rather than chicken. Very disappointed! Wouldn't have again.

Paid £27.20 for food on card and came up failed payment so ordered again and paid in cash when i looked on our bank payment had been taken phoned the manager and as good as laughed at me we will never use this place again

The most disgusting curry we have ever had It was a treat but couldn’t finish it Chicken tikka masala was full of coconut!?! My veg Balti had sprouts in ?!?! Onion bhajis dry Will not be returning

7 of us for a meal , great food , highly recommend, very friendly and great service . Will def visit again . Been several times now always been good and reasonably priced .

Ordered a meal from Simla and was informed via email it was being prepared only then 40mins later I receive a message informing me order had been cancelled without any explanation! I tried to call restaurant but no answer at all, I have also emailed and still received no explanation. I'm also still awaiting refund! Absolutely appalling and would not order ever again its a shame because this place used to be good but sadly gone downhill!
