The best restaurants serving Indian food in Vale of White Horse South East

Booked an early dinner which meant the restaurant was fairly quiet. The staff were all lovely and made sure our experience was top-notch. The food was superb (first time I've had a Chinese starter followed by an Indian main). Every dish was perfectly spiced with tender meat and the sides were fabulous. Massive car park, interesting decor. A really good night.

What a great little restaurant. Excellent food, very good service and friendly staff. We had a lovely meal here good portions and all at a reasonable price. Drinks prices are very reasonable too. We will be in Abingdon again on Sunday so will be having a meal there again. Looking forward to it. The food is excellent you will not be disappointed.

Restaurant is no longer trading! Looking forward to visiting after having read the reviews so was very disappointed to see an estate agent’s. sign outside the premises when I was staying in Wantage on 19th July.

My fav takeout in Abingdon. The food is delicious of course and the service is stellar. Thank you so much Arif you are worth your weight in gold! The whole team is so friendly and welcoming

Our dining experience at The Viceroy was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, my husband, son, and I were welcomed with warm hospitality that made us feel immediately at ease. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy charm and refined elegance, ideal for a memorable family night out or a special occasion. The menu at The Viceroy is both expansive and carefully curated, featuring a range of authentic Indian dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We were impressed by the variety of options, from rich, aromatic curries to lighter vegetarian dishes and flavorful sides, catering beautifully to all our tastes. My husband and I shared the Chef’s Signature Specials and were blown away by the depth of flavor and attention to detail. The balance of spices was impeccable, and each dish had its own unique character. Our son enjoyed his meal just as much, and the staff made sure he was taken care of with age-appropriate recommendations and friendly service. The service at The Viceroy was top-notch—attentive and genuinely warm, making us feel like honored guests without being intrusive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and even offered a few thoughtful suggestions that turned out to be highlights of our meal. From start to finish, The Viceroy exceeded our expectations, providing an experience that was both delicious and memorable. We left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. This place is a true gem, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding Indian dining experience!

Excellent madras curry & king pawn biriani and great service

Im thinking this is under new management didnt listen to what i asked for! Took longer than normal forgot chips and naan bread ! They were so good before now rubbish ! Wont ever be using them again !!!!

We had a takeaway drawn in with the text that the Elaichi was back. Well we were told by the automated system it would be 1.5 hrs but it was more like 2.5 hrs, each time I called to chase why he hadn’t delivered, it was , the driver had just left, it was all cobblers, don’t know why I bothered as the food was awful the worst I’ve ever had, both meals were made with Tomato soup the Indian takeaway cheat ingredient and were watery awfulness - that’s the Chicken tikka masala and Murgh chicken both should have had creamy sauces but alas the tomato soup couldn’t thicken them enough. The only nice thing was the nan bread the day old popadoms and lack of onion salad that was ordered really was the final straw - £55 for two people us £55 I’ll never want to spend there again! Whatever happened to the old Elaichi, should have remained closed…

Would of been 5 stars if I received everything I paid for

They cannot delete the order 30 seconds after placing it. Terrible .🤦🏾 I've ordered from them more than once, but this was the first time I had to cancel due to late delivery. 1.3 hours.

First time ordering here and was highly pleased with what we received. 1 item was forgot but was quickly rectified and they were very apologetic, but mistakes happen. Food was absolutely amazing and would order from here again. Highly recommend

If you are someone who appreciates authentic Indian cuisine, not just “curry dishes,” Dil Raj in Abingdon is likely to leave you disappointed. This review is for those who understand and expect true Indian flavours and quality, not generic offerings. The experience here was underwhelming across the board. The butter chicken, for example, lacked the richness and balance that defines this dish, tasting more like sour curd than a carefully prepared recipe. The chicken itself was of poor quality, seemingly reheated and lacking any freshness. The breads were another major letdown. A staple of any Indian meal, they should be soft, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. Instead, they arrived half-baked with a texture that suggested low-quality ingredients. Even the chef’s special dishes, supposedly the highlights of the menu, were unimpressive. They lacked the depth, complexity, and attention to detail that one would expect from a restaurant advertising itself as an Indian culinary experience. Finally, the rice dishes tasted microwaved rather than freshly prepared, further detracting from the overall meal. Freshly cooked rice is an essential element of Indian cuisine, and its absence here was glaring. If you’re looking for good-quality, authentic Indian food in the area, Dil Raj is unlikely to satisfy. The food lacks the authenticity and care that define Indian cuisine, leaving little reason to return. I hope this review helps those in search of truly great Indian dining options to avoid disappointment.

Last night we visited Hanney Spice for their Monday Banquet Evening. It was absolutely delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Our first visit but definitely not our last. Many thanks to all.
