The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

Incredible food, lamb is very tender

This was my first visit to Nimmi. It was lovely to see a menu that is different to the usual offerings from Indian restaurants. It was really hard to choose because of the excellent and interesting range of dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. The staff were lovely. Friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going again.

My good friend and I go here every few weeks and the food is consistently good. Always very pleasant helpful staff. We choose the banquet as such good value. The ambience is very nice and we find the food delicious.

We only had a takeaway , when I say only , it was fantastic. I’m a Manc and used to excellent curries, breads etc and this was superb. My lamb was cooked to perfection as was the Chicken , I’d highly recommend the place. Give it a try I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

No esperaba buena comida india en una ciudad universitaria. Mediocre pollo tikka masala y goma naan es típico en mi experiencia. Pero, estaba ansioso por la comida india después de haber estado en la carretera durante unas semanas, así que busqué en Google "restaurantes indios cercanos". Y encontré el "Barco de arroz". Bonito nombre, pensé, y comida de Kerala. Buenas señales (me encanta la comida de Kerala; ahí es donde crecí - - y no hay pollo tikka masala allí). Aun así, esto estaba a solo ocho minutos del Departamento de Derecho (de donde yo estaba empezando) y es, después de todo, una ciudad universitaria (es decir, comida mediocre). Y, cuando llegué allí sobre las 6: 30 pm, el lugar estaba vacío, no era una buena señal. Mediocridad, seguro. (El lugar de al lado tailandés estaba lleno y bullicioso y tuve la tentación de ir allí). Pero decidí arriesgarme. Y fui recompensado en espadas. Pedí el Beef Fry (muy raramente encontrado en restaurantes indios y auténticamente de Kerala) , parotta especial de Kerala, raita y encurtido de mango. Era demasiada comida para una persona, pero pensé que debería tener opciones en caso de que fuera comida mediocre para la universidad. Pero estaba delicioso. Los propietarios son encantadores y maravillosos - - Rita, una de las propietarias, cocinó la parotta ella misma (estaba en escamas de la mejor manera posible) y su marido cocinó la carne frita. Me encantó el pepinillo de mango y Raita también se comió cada bocado. (Y me alegré mucho de que me saltara la cena supuestamente elegante en la mesa alta de una de las universidades de Cambridge esa noche). ¡Gracias Rita!

We had takeaway delivered. It was lovely food but smaller portions than we are used to.

I order on there counter and food is nice when i sher at work they likes and said next time we will get from there I say Mr.Rana special Thank you to fone my food quickly

Absolutely awfull food apart from the onion bahjis. Peshwari nan bread was stodgy and no flavour at all of coconut. The lamb tikka bhuna was in a completely tasteless sauce no depth or flavour. Motor paneer was a milky watery sauce. Had to throw it all in the bin. When I called to complain the 'manager' was patronising asked me why" I hadnt gone to the Indian down the road".!!! I told him they don't do delivery and I was ill in bed. I mentioned I knew about Indian cooking as am well travelled and know a lot about spices he then called me a chef and refused a refund. I was not rude to him at all and he was very defensive and argumentative. I don't know how on earth he can call himself a manager with the poor customer service skills he thinks he has which I have not experienced for years and needs to go on a managerial course or go to work at Macdonalds where no doubt he will be more appreciated.

Lovely food and service for my friends wedding party.

Enjoyed a great quiz night. Food staff

Was tepid when received and onion bhajis was very stale and dry to eat not good at all

Arrived warm Chicken was very dry

Beautiful tasty food. Everyone was attentive.

Fantastic food - good portions and the chicken chilli starter is always a winner 😋. I regularly come here and receive a consistent and quality meal. Keep up the good work 👍🏼.
