The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

Appalling meal at Mint Leaf. The staff unfriendly, food was tasteless and cold, yet the beer was warm! Avoid and go elsewhere.

Fantastic food Friendly staff and great service Highly recommend

I had a takeaway of Lamb Biryani and a Stuffed Paratha. I did not enjoy it at all. The 'lamb' was clearly mutton and it was hard with gristle in it and the Biryani was flavourless. I couldn't eat it and therefore it went into the bin. Total waste of £15

Sadly the food was not up to much. Chicken dry,lamb not great keema naan was rough. Poppadoms sause so thin there is no chance of putting on. Would say save your money.

Very very good really enjoyed it and definitely be coming back

Welcoming Atmosphere - 10/10 Pint Refreshingness - 8/10 Quality of Poppadoms and Chutneys - 7/10 Quality of Starter - 10/10 Quality of Main Course - 10/10 Waiting time - 10/10 Quality of Wet Towel - 10/10 Quality of Chocolates - 8/10 Presence of Complimentary Drink - 10/10 Quality of Exit handshake - 10/10 Really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and the hospitality. My first pint of draft kingfisher wasn't as cold as I would have liked but I then got a bottle of cobra which was ice cold. Overall Raj Garden ranks very highly and we'll definitely be back soon.

Excellent food. Busy and bustling with life. We took our own drinks as there is no alcohol licence. Friendly and helpful staff.

We always enjoy coming to Le Spice and were not disappointed on this occasion in terms of the service and atmosphere. The service is always exquisite! Its also extremely welcoming. The food on this occasion was not quite up to the standards of service. There was a real lack of freshness and taste from the curry and particularly the meat. We also had onion bhaji's but similarly these were very small and hard and lacked the quality you would usually expect. The rice and naan breads were very tasty however. We will be back and hope that this was a one-off, we are sure the chef must have just had an off day !

Brilliant night with lovely food and even better service. Squeezed us in on a busy Friday night, did not disappoint. Lovely family business a big mention to Sunny & Shafy & Shah who really made our night. Shout out to eddy on the bar, quick service and lovely drinks and Mr T smile and politeness!! Best Indian in town !

I’ve been to many Indians in Hertfordshire but this is the one I keep coming back too!

we have been to this restaurant several times. It is not decorated in the more usual red flock red chairs, red carpet colour scheme of many Indian restaurants, instead it has a fresher brighter feel with a smaller dining room at the front of the restaurant and then more dining space towards The rear of the restaurant. The menu is very comprehensive and varied and caters for many tastes and clearly indicates which dishes are mildly hot and which are very hot. The food is always freshly cooked, served hot straight from the kitchen and is always a joy to eat. WC facilities are clean, fresh and nicely decorated. The staff seem to go the extra mile and as an example I left the restaurant in torrential rain with my hood up forgetting that I had actually brought a large umbrella with me. I was almost at the entrance to the Ark when I heard shouting behind me and it was one of the gentleman servers from the restaurant who had discovered my umbrella and chased after me to make sure I got it back. These touches do mean a lot as a customer I feel.

Myself and my partner how now become regulars eating at Ballingdon Valley and we are never disappointed. It was my bday and on arrival we were greeted by the lovely Zaynal who was very professional and attentive. Zaynal guided us through the wine list and we were very pleased with the bottle he recommended. Our waiter Kahled has always been very friendly and kind and has also helped me making choices of different dishes to try and also explains the ingredients in each dish and how mild or hot they maybe. Our food has always been excellent and we highly recommend, we come from Bury just for their service and great food. Thank you for a lovely bday and dinner we will definitely be seeing you soon.

We were a party of eleven. We eat out together often and are very good at settling the bill - we each keep score of what we have and pay for that, with any service charge, etc. This time, when we had all paid our parts, we were told that we were still about £80 short. We all went through, we all counted up, we could not see where it went wrong. The turning point came when we added up the items on the handwritten bill. The items listed, and their prices, were correct. There were no additions. However, the given total was about £80 more than the sum of the parts. Once we pointed this out, the bill was taken by the waiter for re-examination and all was declared well. It is for this reason that I suggest that, if you must go to this restaurant, you very carefully check your bill. A party where one was paying all, or a party where the total is just equally split, or a party where much alcohol had been consumed, may not have noticed such a massive inadvertent mistake in the favour of the restaurant by about £80. Mathematics aside, the evening was quite good. The food was OK. The service adequate. The company wonderful. The room could do with some softer furnishings or drapes on the walls to soften the din when everyone is talking.

I would give this zero stars if there was an option! The restaurant may serve better food but I doubt it, we had a takeaway and it was awful. I’ve never seen a runny korma in my life but this one was. My dhansak was no better, or the side dishes. There were no saving graces and we wished we hadn’t wasted our money on what was quite an expensive take away. Bombay potatoes were the wrong type of potato - floury and disintegrating. No fresh flavour to anything . Couldn’t have been more disappointed

A wonderful, relaxing and entertaining evening,spent with ‘forever’ friends . Nice vibe in the restaurant, was made even better with great food and attentive service. A big Name check for Assad, who went above and beyond what’s required for making a good evening , GREAT ! Definitely will be returning very soon.
