The best restaurants serving Indian food in East Midlands

The food is always Great! And the service is just as good! Never had a bad meal from here. I highly recommend a visit or a takeaway.

Eaten in several times and very happy with both service and food. However, £60 on a takeaway last night and it was very, very poor. Bland, luke warm, over oily generally Yuk!

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

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!

Please note….this is no longer in Alford, it is now in Mablethorpe on Victoria Road. It is also called Mo’s and not Nayeemas. It is really difficult to find as there isn’t really a sign outside. There is also no car park available other than a very small amount of on street parking. It’s a very strange place and doesn’t look like an Indian restaurant, it seems like they’ve not long moved from Alford as the restaurant is tiny, I’d say only caterers for 20 people maximum. They also do not have their alcohol licence yet so are unable to serve alcohol, however you are able to take your own alcohol. Soft drinks are available. Booking is advisable as it’s such a small place at the moment. The food was delicious! I had a chicken tikka masala and my partner had a chicken korma, the chicken was cooked to perfection. If you are an average size portion eater then sharing a curry, rice and naan bread between 2 is more than enough. We ordered one each of everything not realising how big the portions were! The naan breads are homemade and absolutely delicious! The restaurant also does takeaway, which can be collected or they do deliver (charges apply) The young lady who served us…I believe her name may have been Bobby. She was absolutely brilliant, she was about the only person there doing anything! She managed every table by herself and dealt with the people coming in for collections. The other people working there seem to have inappropriate conversations too close to public ears, and really like to moan about each other! But in summary, the food was fantastic and Bobby was an amazing waitress. Worth a visit.

So frustrating, we ordered take away at 7pm NYE expecting a delay but over 2hrs later it's not arrived and they haven't answered the phones. They took the money and the customer service has been awful. Be honest, what kind of service is this? Very frustrated.

Small friendly restaurant, really good food, eat in, take away or delivery service. Best in the area

Rubbish i payed 32 quid for two currys one was the wrong curry.and the lamb bhuna had no spice init.dont bother go somewhere else.

Possibly a bad night but the two portions of Lamb Tikka which arrived late were hated by both diners as it was rock hard and tough even when cut with difficulty Told when complaining that noone had ever complained before and it was perfect and as it should be. . .. what? Supposed to be inedible?this arrogance really annoyed us.If this was a first ever complaint a refund should have been offered not a denial and rudeness. I will not be trying them again Good reviews are their old reviews Some say it's gone downhill since then.

We didn’t visit but had a takeaway delivered, a very rare thing where we live. It arrived 15 mins before it was due, was piping hot and fabulously tasty, thank you for such prompt and friendly service, we will definitely be ordering again!

We ate there on a Monday evening, which is apparently their quiet night We really enjoyed our meal, Excelent food, excellent staff.

Amazing takeaway, so glad we tried it, so delicious, phone order easy and so friendly and helpful, fast delivery, and lovely and hot on delivery and sooooo tasty. We will be back

A hidden gem in Bourne’s crown. I used to be a regular, sadly not had the opportunity to visit for last few years. I went last night with my wife and her friends/colleagues for her works Christmas meal. Pleased to see that it has not lost its charm and retained its quality of service and food. We were welcomed and seated quickly, offered to take our coats and given time to settle and view the menu. We were allowed to bring our own alcohol as they are a dry bar, reasonable corkage fee, they supplied us with wine glasses. If you are looking for an intimate, well presented restaurant with great customer service and quality food I highly recommend Shalimar. Definitely will make an effort to return sooner next time.

Now Spice Cottage, I ate on Friday with a friend and it was truly delicious. My mate ordered phall which isn’t even on the menu, I had a chef’s special that I hadn’t heard of before and after being told it was quite spicy they turned down the temperature to a bit below madras which the waiter suggested to me. Starters were ace too, bread and rice tip top. Also the wine was cheap because you take your own!
