The best restaurants serving Indian food in Cheltenham South West

One of our favourite restaurants in Cheltenham. The street food starters are great. You never know quite what they'll be like, but they're always delicious, different and a surprise. Nice to have some different curries and flavours than the usual British curries. It seems more authentic (not having been to India!)

We visited to celebrate a birthday, what an amazing restaurant, really gorgeous food and attentive and knowledgeable staff. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely be coming back. Thank you to everyone that served us, we had a lovely evening.

Fantastic, amazing food and service.

Had the takeaway, it is one of the best curries I have ever eaten. I had the butter lamb, the lamb was tender, and so tasty the sauce was rich and creamy. I love it definitely have again. The Nan was lush and both myself and my wife had the same, butter lamb, nan and chips £20 with delivery good value.

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.

We visited on a Friday and were glad that we had booked a table as it was quite busy. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious.

Friends meetway at this place. Had an Indian take away from here this evening… WOW! There was still the small problem of having a yummy Indian takeaway that really packed flavours well across the board. We ordered the Korma which was one of the nicest Korma’s we have had from a takeaway ever, a little spicier than normal which was lovely, the saag aloo was really nice too. This has to be our new favourite Indian takeaway!! Thank you for that info Griff and cheers, Can’t wait for the time when we could personally dine at the restaurant and taste more of your great offerings! Definitely to recommend to anyone, delivery is incredible faster as well.

This was probably the best curry I've ever had! We stayed in town for a couple of nights and fancied a curry. Luckily, we stumbled upon Spice exchange. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and very genuine too. The menu is full of choices and the prices were very reasonable as well. Our meals came out very quickly and were absolutely delicious, the service was fantastic! We will certainly pop in again when we're in town. Do yourself a favour and make a visit. It's worth it.

Got a takeaway, very good food but the portion size for the price was tiny. Will stick with the local curry house for sure next week, half the price and twice the size and good enough for taste.

Absolutely fabulous really tasty food and service was Fantastic. Would really say to anyone who likes Indian cuisine to try this establishment

I've tried nearly everything on the menu, and I’d say the most authentic dish is the chaat bombs, also known as dahi puri. I know the staff likely share the same instructions with all customers, but it was amusing to be at the table with my family, all of us being South Asian, and getting a tutorial on how to eat them. We were just thinking, “Okay…” 😂

I’ve read a few reviews on here and I’ve realised most of the reviews in the last few months have been very poor. I just wanted to let everyone know Deepam Is now under new management since May this year , so unfortunately it's all changed . I used to be a regular before the new takeover and the food was so good and tasty and you can see reviews from over 6 months ago and older the reviews have been great. Unfortunately some people are still under the impression it is still the old management because the name still stands however it is not, there’s has a been a new management in place and after reading these recent reviews it’s such a shame to see the name being tarnished. Please have this in mind!

Great food and very friendly and polite staff!!!

Very good tasty curry tonight, made with good quality ingredients and freshly made there for me despite my late arrival near closing time! Excellent

Ordered a takeway from here whilst the delivery was quite good unfortunately the food wasn't. The masala was bright red yet tasted of nothing but oil and salt. This was same with the korma and biryani sauce, flavourless and oily. I am sorry but that was very disappointing. You can't find a good indian takeaway in cheltenham these days they all seem to do the same trick of overcoulering the sauce and not including any flavour! Shame.
