The best restaurants serving Indian food in Breckland East of England

Stayed nearby for a couple of nights and decided to try New Saffron. What a wonderful find! The staff were professional and friendly, the restaurant and toilets were very clean. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with poppadoms. The accompaniments were slightly different to usual but so nice. We chose from the specials menu. We shared a prawn starter. Our main courses were so tasty. The spices used were perfect. The meat was soft and tender. Lemon rice and courgette bhaji were great. It was a nice experience to have an Indian meal that was not dripping with grease. We had ice creams to finish and they were lovely too. 100% recommend this restaurant.

Delicious meal and very generous portions!

As we were staying in Thetford, we opted for the buffet for Sunday lunch at The Raj. The service we received was excellent, the selection of dishes was beyond our capacity to sample all of them, and the quality of the food we did try was very good. If in the vacinity of Thetford on another occassion, we would certainly include The Raj, particularly the Sunday buffet again!

Great food! The best butter chicken. Very friendly and helpful staff. Had food several times from here and will go again. Thank you!

The food was very nice😋, the customer service guy was kind😃 and funny😂 and the atmosphere was very chill 🧘‍♂️. 10/10 would go again 💯

Just had a take away delivered by a really nice and chatty driver. The food was fresh and the taste was sensational. Will definitely be our go to Indian from now on. Excellent value for money, I would 100% recommend.

Great food. Fab service as always :)

Visited The Shapla on a bit of a whim with a group of friends. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere surrounding. My friend got verbally assaulted by a member of staff (jokingly) and this entertaining, tailored customer service means I will be highly likely to return in the future. A restaurant isn't just about providing good food, it's about being able to understand the customer and tailoring your service approach. You can play it safe, or you can have a laugh and a joke - which is exactly what we received. I'll try to return without my friend and weird menu requests next time. I'll also try not to touch the hot table things too. So much fun.

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.

This is an excellent take-away. I have spent a lot of time travelling in Indian and Bangladesh. The Swaffham Spice is probably about as close to authentic street food that you can get. If your looking for the sanitised brit version of Indian food, expensive and laced with cream and colouring, then its probably not for you. If you want to sample a curry, as it should be, then this is the place for you. Great flavours together with excellent prices.

Update Christmas Eve 2024 Back in Swaffham visiting family. Went to one of our favourite restaurants anywhere to get a takeaway. Very, very busy given it was Christmas Eve, but no problem , order taken and the customary Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. A perfect Eve of Christmas. Long may this restaurant prosper. It most certainly deserves to!!!! Update March 2024. Back in Swaffham visiting family, back at Indian Summer for takeaway. Usual Cobra and red wine whilst waiting (part of the delight of the Indian Summer and our reason for not ordering online or by 'phone). The usual superb customer service and of course the superb food. Maybe we should convince them to open a "satellite restaurant" where we live in the far north of Scotland, we certainly need it. Would happily award more than 5 stars in all respects. Update August 2023. Back visiting family and a trip to get our favourite takeaway. As usual a glass of Cobra and a glass of red wine whilst waiting. The manager and his staff are superb and have first rate customer service skills. You are made to feel to be THE most important people in the restaurant. Excellent food, excellent service, very good pricing and generous portions make a meal from Indian Summer most desirable. No hesitation in recommending FIVE STARS in EVERY respect. See you next time we are down here. Update February 2023. Back in Swaffham, first point of call, what has become a favourite restaurant for a takeaway. Customary glass of Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. Wonderful, friendly reception, excellent service, fabulous food. Truly a 5* establishment. Update December 2022. Back in the area again and headed to Indian Summer for a takeaway. Customary glass of Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. Excellent service and food. A great restaurant. Update June 2022. Back in the area - went for a take away. Order placed, shown to a table to enjoy a superb pint of Cobra and a glass (large) of red wine to await our order. Made to feel that we were the most important customers in the restaurant. FIVE STAR SERVICE and when we got back to our relatives a FIVE STAR range of Indian dishes. Absolutely wonderful 🙂, how I wish we had a restaurant of this quality where we live in the far north of Scotland. Original comment 2021. A wonderful evening enjoying the excellent food and excellent service. All in all, superb. Would definitely recommend. Will certainly be making another reservation when next in the area.

Food was absolutely delicious and would thoroughly recommend. Staff were friendly and helpful, portions were just right too.

Delivery of our food 1 hour 15 minutes late. Stone cold and pi*s poor excuses from staff... never again disappointed from start to finish
