The best restaurants serving Indian food in South West

We were regular customers at the Toran before it changed its name and live locally. We popped in early on a Friday evening to order a takeaway and despite there being no one in the restaurant at all, we were told it would be 30 mins. As we live locally, we popped home and then returned half an hour later to pick up our food. It wasn’t ready, so we waited another 15 minutes or so. No problem at this stage until we discovered that our takeaway had been given to another customer who had taken it home! The front of house staff member was completely ineffective and tried unsuccessfully to contact the other customer to bring our food back. He then ignored us for about 10 minutes while looking for yet another customers order. At this stage, we asked for our food to be recooked, to be told it would be another half an hour wait. By this time, we had had enough and we asked for a refund but were told it could only be refunded to the card that paid for it - this was now at home! Another of our party drove back out to the restaurant with the card for the refund, to arrive and be told that they had recooked our order. It was blatantly obvious that our original order had been returned and had been reheated. Eventually, we were given a refund but in cash this time, and from the wallet of the front of house member of staff as he couldn’t work the card machine. We rang another takeaway as we left the stone burner, drove to Warminster and it was ready when we arrived and cost significantly less! I am afraid that the stone burner has lost a local customer. Poor service.

Great to find a restaurant open at lunchtime. Visited yesterday with my cousin and returned today with my son. I'll start with just one negative - prawns were nicely cleaned, but the tail was left on which when hidden in rice was unexpected. That said the food is really delicious, especially the Aloo chaat. Staff warm and friendly - nice relaxing lunch. Will be back!

Been visiting the Goa for over 30 years and the food and service are always exceptional. Hassan and his team are brilliant hosts and are happy to give advice to those who need help choosing their dishes. Boxing up any leftovers is also offered with no fuss so you don't waste what you've paid for.

Excellent meal. Friendly staff. We were on holiday and it was just the job. Tasty king prawn dansak and chicken korma. BYO drink option was brilliant.

Myself and my wife visited last night. Lovely food, particularly enjoyed my peshwari nann, the condiments with the poppadoms were very tasty. Best Indian restaurant in Ferndown 🙂👍

Me again. Back again. Couldn’t wait to come back. Beautiful food. Lovely staff. I adore it here. 10/10 worth the 2 hour drive!

We moved to the area about 4 years ago and we were struggling to find a decent Indian curry house, our daughters boyfriend had used the Kashmir for many years and highly recommended them,. As you can imagine we was sceptical because we had not discovered anywhere we liked in the 4 years of living near. The first time we went we ate in house, I had a King Prawn Puri starter followed by a Tandoori mixed grill. My wife requested the King Prawn Puri as a main course which they said would not be a problem and it was duly prepared and served, it was also incredible. We have been going back now regularly for takeaways as the restaurant itself is quite small and always very busy, if you want to eat in then I strongly advise you book in. My one complaint, it's costing me a fortune as I'm addicted to their food, love this place and long may they keep up their amazing quality and skills of fine Indian dining.

We first visited this restaurant in November 2023 during an all male yearly trip to the Forest of Dean, it was that good we went again on our way home! We visited again last night and cannot reccomend this little gem enough, that's coming from someone who cooks and grew up in the trade! Great food, enjoyed always by all the group. The service is just incredible with it being a famiy run establishment, they really do go above and beyond and make you feel so very welcomed! Long may Curry leaf continue and we look forward to visiting again every November as a tradition!

We went here for a surprise Birthday meal we were all made to feel very Welcome. I asked the staff for a recommendation on a Curry as I wanted to try something different. I was recommended to try the Chicken Chat. WOW it was Amazing. All our meals were lovely even my fussy teenager who doesn't eat curry loved his sticky chicken and egg fried rice. We will definitely be back again.

Quiz night, lovely place, the quiz was cracking and very well put together, the curry was really tasty and the company was great.

Lovely authentic and flavourful food, would thrloroyhly recommend

Went for a meal with friends (6 of us in total) after a busy day. Food when it eventually came was very good. However the service was appallingly slow. We had to ask at least 4 times to place our order for main courses, having waited for at least 15 minutes for our initial drinks to arrive. We had been in the restaurant for an hour and a quarter before our orders were taken! After our meal, we again had to ask repeatedly for the bill. Eventually we gave up and went up to the till to pay, only to have to wait another 5 minutes for them to work it out. Very disappointing, clearly understaffed. A meal out shouldn’t take 3 and a quarter hours.

Sadly I used to use these regularly over the last few years until we had a issue. It's surprising how you take for granted a company you use when it goes well but as soon as it goes wrong you soon find out the integrity of the supplier. I order the same stuff time and time again but on this occasion it was wrong so I telephoned to see if we could get it resolved.I was met with it's my fault-it's what I ordered and a agitated person etc etc. I couldn't be bothered to argue and I just made the decision never to order from them again.Since then I have found a much better restaurant locally and they are so friendly I can't believe I have not been aware of them before. It goes to show we can become complacent because we know no different.My self and our circle now order from the new place and we haven't had a issue to date.

Gorgeous little treat! Will use again

Best Indian food I have ever had!! Great service, lovely restaurant and only a short wait for a table (however I would advise to book!) and brilliantly priced too! Must visit if you’re in bristol
