The best restaurants serving Indian food in South West

Really enjoyed our evening at the Curry Leaf. The food was very nice and the staff were lovely. We will definitely go again and would highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

I didn't have the food but it was clear it was very popular. Great bar staff, friendly and a great atmosphere 👍

Lovely authentic and flavourful food, would thrloroyhly recommend

Very disappointed with the food. Like they have given up on quality which they used to be great at.

We hadn't been for a while, but as we remembered we had enjoyed it, took a family member there before heading off to the subrooms on a Saturday evening. We weren't disappointed. Friendly service, delicious food. The Pawa is amazing. Only minor point is that we would have had coffee and been tempted by desert, but waiter didn't return after clearing main course and we ran out of time before our gig, (and we would have thought there was plenty of time) Highly recommended. PS website states will deliver up to 4 miles. We live 3.5 mile away up the valley, but putting our address in we are advised 'don't deliver here' Shame but I think waistband and wallet relieved. Maybe a list of villages would help?

Deliciosa comida. Comida de excelente calidad. Personal muy amable y eficiente. Esta fue nuestra primera visita y volveremos. Muy recomendable

Hace dos meses, tuve una gran comida para llevar. Anoche, extremadamente decepcionante. El plato de cebolla bhaji era pequeño, 4 bocados del tamaño de un bocado. Mi langostino dhansak no tenía sabor; no muchas gambas y la salsa estaba muy acuosa. Mi marido dijo que su dupiaza de pollo estaba bien, sin embargo, su salsa también era muy acuosa. Tal vez un chef diferente estaba trabajando anoche, sin embargo, no volveremos pronto.

Popped in for first pint last Friday for a friends surprise birthday bash having driven up from Chichester, really great atmosphere and lovely locals with a good bit of banter thrown in .Returned twice more over the weekend with the happy vibe still the same and finally a big shout out to Carrie behind the bar for making us all feel so welcome it was much appreciated.Cheeky one liner in summary of our experience at this little Gem of a boozer would be Orgasmic !!

I had the pleasure of inviting a group of friends to a fixed menu evening meal to celebrate a significant anniversary at the Tale of Spice. From the freshly laundered gleaming table linen, the smartly dressed staff, the nicely timed arrival of the courses, the generous portions, the sheer variety of what was set before us, everything was spot on and excellent. It would have ben near impossible to improve and all at a very competitive price. All round excellent.

We first found this little gem in November 2023, during a yearly all male trip to the Forest of Dean. We enjoyed it so much we revisited in our way home! We visited again last night, the standard and quality of the most authentic Indian cuisine is always of the highest standard and the service is simply incredible. This family run restaurant go above and beyond to ensure that all Diner's have the best experience! We now look forward to our yearly trip even more as this is now a tradition for us to include as a visit during our trip! Long may they continue!

Cocina india muy agradable, menú variado y genial para vegetarianos. Gran servicio y saludos al chef Luckman. Volveremos pronto.

Extremely good experience here with a takeaway. We had about 8 dishes and they were all lovely. Service was prompt, polite, informative and friendly. It was all piping hot and ready in almost exactly the time they said it would be ready - around 25 minutes for freshly cooked food is about perfect. Only one gripe: the food was not particularly spicy, we had one chef’s special and one “medium” and both were somewhat less hot than we are used to. Starters were really good though, the veg samosa’s a particular delight. Thanks!

3rd time been here and will NOT be returning we arrived on time do family meal and greeted by somebody that didn’t seem to know what he was doing and that’s how the evening continued. Very poor service waited nearly 1 hour for 2 starters and the mains were 1hour 45 mins nobody seem to care when they were asked where ours is as others have had there’s who came in after us food was average think I was the only one that enjoyed mine, no smiles no apologies only just got a thanks a goodbye, toilets always seem to have some issues so a overall rubbish experience and definitely will not return

Terrible service, overhearing the person on the telephone being disrespectful to a client who had just ordered just summed up the professionalism of the restaurant. It was clear to me that the client wanted some advice on several different curries but the employee on the telephone was just rude. Food was below average. There was no taste to the food, the food felt rush and there no attention to detail. If you have not experience good Indians before you may rate this high however, this experience was below average. I would not recommend going here, also the portion size to value of money was poor.
