The best restaurants serving Indian food in South West

Thank you guys, great vindaloo even if not on menu. Great food, proper Vindaloo, Great communication. BEST IN TOWN I'll send Marj in again. Soon!

We've been ordering here for 3 years, never disappoints us. Best takeaway and authentic food in Ivybridge and further! We always recommend to everyone who asks us about food/takeaways in Ivybridge. Lovely people, amazing food, decent price - what more could you ask for? Thank you Taste of Bengal for being our go-to takeaway when we want to treat ourselves

Food wasn’t very tasty. All bland. Shame as it used to be very good.

The best fish and chips I experienced in my life.. staff is very helpful and welcoming everyone. The fish cooked properly and chips are enough crispy and well cooked . Highly recommend..

Everything arrived hot, neatly packed, and exactly as ordered. The portions were generous, and you can tell the ingredients were high-quality. Even the small details—like the garnish and the careful packaging—showed how much pride they take in their food.

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

First time visiting Aroma restaurant, I found the food I had was excellent, vegetable samosas with a side salad, followed by malabar lamb curry with Mushroom Rice and cheese and garlic naan bread, also had 3 kingfisher beers 🍻

Very disappointing experience. Ordered a takeaway for three people on a Sunday evening — told 25–45 mins, but it took 1 hour 29 minutes to arrive. No updates, no apology, and when it finally arrived, only the naan was hot — mains were lukewarm and had to be reheated. One dish was swimming in oil. Food was OK, but clearly the kitchen was overstretched. Sadly, this was the second time this has happened (also in Feb 2025). We won’t be ordering again.

Ate here last night as with other reviews I was extremely disappointed. This place used to be good but last night staff didn't know what they were doing and the girls miserable not sure if they are new. Won't be back in a hurry

Asked and paid for chutney and never arrived, food was slightly warm

Worst curry I've ever had, had the tandori mixed grill, it was dry and bland, had a bhuna sauce which was bland. My partner had the masssla cocktail, no spice and bland! Waiter was rude, just slammed down cutlery! when clearing plates from a table next to us, put the plate trolly right in front of us, we were blocked in and he just kept slamming plates, cutlery, dishes, it was noisy and we had to ask him to please stop ! Awful 😖

The restaurant is in a side road and entry is down some steep steps and your first impression is as you go past the old and small toilets which, despite their appearance, are relatively clean. We were met with a functional, if not overly friendly greeting, and shown to our table. The menu is clear and descriptive with pictures of some of the dishes. We ordered drinks, a Cobra and a Sauvignon Blanc, and two poppadoms and pickles. No lime pickle was included unfortunately. The poppadoms were fresh and crisp, always a good sign, and we ordered our meals, Chicken Khatmandu and Nepali Butter Chicken with Pulao Rice and Garlic Naan. The restaurant wasn’t busy but the food arrived in a reasonable time, too quickly and we would have been concerned. Both meals were great. The chicken tikka was tender and the sauces were aromatic and spicy as they should be. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and, as it is so handily placed near to the Plymouth Pavilions, will definitely visit again if we are going to a show there.

Our weekly curry-cos I love their food 🙂👍

I ordered ASAP was told over an hour but got to me boiling hot in 30 mins best surprise ever food from is is heaven

The most delicious takeaway. Chicken Makhani, Duck and Nepalese Goat (best of all). Great online order system, ready on time, friendly staff - a great find in Paignton
