The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

Tried a few different Indian restaurants recently (after falling out of love with our local) and we had a fantastic experience at Cafe Masala last night. Best curry I've had in a long time, great service from all the staff and nothing to fault, will definitely be returning. Keep it up!

Got a takeaway on the way home on Saturday night. Lovely curry. Decent price. Quick service.

Disgusting AVOID AVOID AVOID like the plague worst curry I have ever had in my life! Ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka, chicken curry all had no taste what so ever colour was well off arrived cold honestly do yourself a favour and go elsewhere and save yourself some money just spent over £50 and thrown it in the bin and ordered from somewhere else

Had a lovely meal here, excellent value for money, very clean premises with a relaxed atmosphere, will visit again on my next visit to St Ives!

It never arrived and the restaurant closed after

Fabulous food. Lovely service. Such a nice place. Food cooked fresh and you are not hurried. Lamb dishes very tender. Will definitely be coming back.

This was my second visit and it didn't disappoint. Cannot fault this place. Great food. Great service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Great food either eating in or takeout. Been coming here for years. As ever, the Team are always super friendly! Food is also very reasonable.

Visited 1971 for a family meal last week. First of all when you walk into the restaurant my reaction was WOW it is beautifully decorated and just has a real wow factor as a restaurant. The staff are just so friendly and attentive and then comes the food and again another WOW, honestly it was just such beautiful food even my 5 years was scraping her plate. Cannot wait to return to 1971 you are doing amazing guys. Will be telling all my friends about you. Lisa

We attended on Xmas Eve. There were 9 of us and we had booked a table in advance. Upon entry it was clear they were not prepared for us as no table was set. After staff pushed three tables together and hurriedly fetched some napkins we were able to sit. This restaurant does not have an alcohol licence so you bring your own alcoholic drinks. Popadoms to begin and then straight to mains. We waited over an hour for our mains. When they arrived the food was good quality, tasty, hot and nice. When it came to the bill my party was paying with cash and card. A staff member came over and my wife asked for the card machine. He huffed, rolled his eyes and plodded off to get the machine. We had obviously inconvenienced him. Overall it was a nice meal which took a bit too long to serve and the staffs customer service left a lot to be desired. Sadly, although I enjoyed the food, I will not be returning again due to the staff rudeness and the delay in receiving our food. Those two issues spoiled an otherwise enjoyable night.

Just had dinner here tonight. Food was good quality and very tasty and portions were large too. We could easily have shared a main. Very good service too and reasonably priced. If we didn’t live 3+ hours away we would definitely return. Thank you

Staff very friendly the food was amazing tasty and hot prices we Very good would recommend the restaurant if you are ever in mildenhall thanks to all staff
