The best restaurants serving Indian food in South East

We came here for a meal to celebrate my birthday and although service was good, I left feeling disappointed. Not sure if it was anything to do with the main guy not being there but there was a few things that I wasn’t happy with…. The toilets stank of urine. You could smell it from outside the toilets. It was disgusting. The ladies toilet would not flush. I reported it but nothing was done about it. My daughter’s dinner had black hairs in her food and my other daughter’s chicken korma looked microwaved. There was also a real language barrier with one of the waiters who couldn’t understand some drinks. It’s a shame because it’s the first time we’ve had a negative experience here.

Busy on a Sat night but service was quick and efficient. Food was very tasty with good options on the menu.

Nice when it’s quiet, classy setting with exceptional food. Great buzz when it’s busy, great for and gatherings WITH ALSO exceptional food Should be the best in Oxfordshire by now

We had a fantastic evening at Desh with some friends back in August. The service was outstanding, such helpful, friendly staff who can't do enough for you. The food was prompt and beautifully presented and tasted delicious, every dish we had we all thoroughly enjoyed. We've booked again for Nov with different friends and can't wait to return.

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.

It was our first visit to this restaurant on 4th November 2024 for dinner. We went to celebrate our sons 8th birthday. Thought it would be a good evening however it was ruined and we left disappointed. We had asked twice to play a birthday song. No one bothered. Just after paying bill while going out of the door one team member asked if we want the birthday song we said may b next year. The food and drinks were delayed . So everything was disappointing. First and last visit must say.

This is a fabulous restaurant The food is excellent lovely ambience The staff are friendly and professional very knowledgeable about the dishes they serve Very good value for money Our favourite

I recently dined at Kathmandu Restaurant for the fourth time, and once again, it was a marvellous experience. The food consistently impresses with its rich flavors and authentic Nepalese dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Highlights from our visit included the succulent Chicken Tikka Biryani and flavorful curries, which were cooked to perfection. Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I highly recommend Kathmandu Restaurant for anyone looking to indulge in fantastic food in a delightful setting. I can’t wait for my next visit! Great food. Great service. My fourth time here with the family and it won’t be our last.

Very good food and friendly service and atmosphere friendly 👌

Food is not good and testy price is very high

Really delicious fresh food, well spiced and not too salty. Will definitely be ordering again soon!!

We were staying for one night in Whitchurch for a visit to the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, and had seen that this restaurant had good reviews. And we can see why. Really friendly welcome and service, very pleasant surroundings and absolutely delicious food. One of the best Indian meals we've had. Not greasy or fatty, fresh, full of flavour. The poppadoms and chutneys were brilliant. We had a chicken karahi which was sizzling on arrival, chicken passanda which was delicious, creamy but with a slight spice kick, and chicken haryali which was really good, with 2 beautiful garlic naan and 2 pilau rice. Washed down with cold crisp pints of cobra, came to £25 a head. If was back in Whitchurch would go back certainly. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, even better service, the lady behind the counter was very professional , will definitely he coming again

Cold (Everything ) and no Peshwari Naan Bread delivered

We decided we wanted to go to our local Indian restaurant for our wedding anniversary as we wanted to be able to walk there and back. Every meal we have had here is amazing and we had another fab meal for our anniversary. We had mains and sides (and a few drinks) and as always the food was delicious and fresh. And the service was 1st class. The restaurant was busy for a Thursday night which to me says just how good the food is.
