The best restaurants serving Indian food in Redditch West Midlands

I have dined at many of the Indian restaurants in Redditch with most being average at best. Last night we stumbled across this one. The waiter was extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. He laughed and joked with us and suggested we try a couple of dishes. We took his advice and had the most amazing Royal Tawa dish. The flavours were fantastic. We will definitely be going back soon and I think The Candle Night will now be our go to Indian in Redditch.

Riley’s never disappoints. 6 of us ate on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant’s decor is very pleasant and provides for a really nice atmosphere. The service is exceptional and well, the food, just wow, wow, wow. We all had different starters and main courses and everyone said how fabulous their food was. My husband said his lamb main was the best he’s ever had. I had a paneer starter and the monkfish main, both were really good. The menu is really varied with a good selection of seafood, fish and vegetarian options for those that don’t want meat. We will most certainly be returning.

Absolutely amazing! I am so glad that I came here! I was expecting them to go easy on the spice when I asked for spicy, but it’s exactly what I wanted. I’ll definitely be back. The man behind the counter was also very pleasant.

Spur of the moment takeaway, fantastic food - one of the best curries I’ve had in a long time! Well worth a visit & I’ll definitely do it again 👍

After eating in Indian places all over including Birmingham, London, Leamington and Warwick I have never found one as good as this. Not only that but it is so affordable. Me and my girlfriend went, and the bill came to only around £30 for popadoms, curry, rice, naan and drinks. Despite the price, the quality is always extremely good, and the service is always really friendly.

Is this place still open ? It was amazing food. If closed where did the chef move on to?

Me and my friend ordered over the phone for collection tonight. Only a 15 minute wait which was great food was piping hot still when we got home and plated it up :) Portions are plentiful! 1X half portion chk tikka masala 1X half portion chk curry 1 chips 1 naan 1 rice We shared the sides and had a half curry each and still couldn’t finish it :D Food was great overall and when greeted at the door and given our food all staff were polite and friendly. Fairly priced too in my opinion for what you get it’s a bargain! Will definitely come again :)) Thankyou

Four of us enjoyed a delightful mid-week meal at Essence. We hadn’t dined-in here for a while (but we have had lots of great takeaways from here) so it was great to see owner Amin and his team were still as attentive as ever when we arrived. A lovely warm welcome. The food was excellent with high quality ingredients, tweaked exactly to our liking and very flavoursome with beautiful presentation. The opulent décor inside the restaurant also creates an upmarket yet relaxed atmosphere. A great evening - highly recommend. We will be back.

Great food, very clean restaurant.

Had a takeaway from here and it was outstanding best In the town by a long shot 10/10 food was pipig hot tasty and fresh highly recommended

Great curry never had a bad one keep up the good work 100% recommend

Delivery guy super nice! I forgot to order the curry the just the accompanying items so he offered to help and grab a curry before they closed. The food was delicious and it arrived nice and hot. I'll definitely be a regular, :) cheers guys! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Poppadoms are awesome

I definitely would not go there again I ordered a mix kabab wrap and got a less than handful of chicken and hardly any salad and no shish when I asked for no lamb pieces he literally thought I said no lamb at all so had to go back and I argued with him and he eventually gave me a shish in but said he will heat it up and I’m 2 minutes away so when I got home it was stone cold so he didn’t heat anything up just put shish in and re wrapped it disgusting never will step back in Dilshad again
