The best restaurants serving Indian food in South West

Enjoyed the friendly service and real great meal. We returned a few weeks ago and sadly the problems started with the booking and we asked about Gluten Free options, in the email it wasn't a problem but when we arrived everything on the menu could have gluten including, rice, cornflour products and literally everything. We asked for tap water that never came Food was like last time good, sadly, one of us couldn't eat anything, but the service was very poor. As good as the food is it will only be a delivery option from now on.

First time today,food was really good, had the kerala porotta ,the flavours were amazing!. I found the staff to be really kind and friendly. i would definitely come again! worth stopping by

A very big thank you to all at Namaste a fantastic evening.

Although the good was tasty and service was 1st class, I was concerned about the lack of a food standards eating not being displayed. So I decided to check the rating, they were given a score of 1 out of 5, this is quite worrying, having ran several hotels myself, where 5 stars is normal, it can only mean the kitchen is very dirty and good is not kept safe. I was also kicked out on Christmas eve.

India Lounge offers a vibrant and authentic dining experience, making it a standout choice for Indian cuisine in Cheltenham. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate preferences. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish bursting with rich flavors and perfectly balanced spices. I particularly appreciated how the menu was thoughtfully curated, though I personally enjoy dishes with bones, which weren’t available. That said, the quality and taste more than made up for it! The ambiance was inviting, and the overall experience was fantastic. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, India Lounge is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Ordered for collection. Haven’t had a curry from here in a few years when it was great before. Collection quick and easy. Staff friendly. We were quite disappointed with the food- popadoms, onion bahjees, curry and rice were not very good. Rice was an odd orange colour, not normal pilau rice. Very below average meal. £36 for 2 people, which is quite expensive when it wasn’t very good. Wouldn’t be coming again unfortunately.

This was recommended to us as we are new to the area. The food was superb and the staff were very attentive. Could not fault a thing

Pleasant setting food ok but could be better

Staying in the area on business. Didn't seem to like a table for one. Told me to dine elsewhere. Rude.

I would rate this the best takeaway we had in our life time. The old owners wasn’t to great but the new owners brought it back to life. There is so much flavour in the food and it’s a really good price. The staff are kind and nice. I would recommend this to all my friends and family.

A very good food hub as they offer a verity of foods. Taste of the foods are 10/10. The era of fast delivery and good cock are unmatched.

Average food, below average service. We visited last week and the service felt incredibly rushed. Barely sat down whilst waiting for two others and were asked if we wanted starters. Then when the other 2 arrived and sat down asked if we knew what we wanted. After asking for 10 minutes, when the waiter came over he said "if you haven't looked yet just tell me what you want" so one of us didn't even get a look at the menu. Then whilst taking our order he was seating someone else. All very rushed. Food itself came out a little too quickly, to the point we debated if chef mic had a little dabble in the process. Also were told one dish would be hot and it was mild at best. Chutneys were incredibly poor quality. Upon paying the waiter didn't even say thank you, just walked off. All in all, disappointing, would not recommend, nor go back.

Great value for the meal deals and the food is amazing and tasty

Great delivery service by Chloe and great quality food

Table refused as they don't know basic laws about assistance and guide dogs.
