The best restaurants serving Indian food in Cleobury Mortimer Shropshire West Midlands

We have never said this before, but this was the best Indian meal we have ever eaten. In many Indian meals, the individual flavours are overwhelmed by the level of spice, but not at The Lamp. The flavours all come through. We had two dishes from the House Specialities; a minted lamb and chicken stuffed with vegetables. Both were excellent, as were the sauces that came with the poppadums. All the staff were friendly and very welcoming.

Up until recently I would have given them an excellent rating. I’ve ordered a lot and the food has generally been very good. However, before ordering for the first time I asked if they could make vegan dishes. They said basically order anything that’s vegetarian (with the obvious exception of things like tikka masala) and include a note for it to be vegan. This was great news. So since then we have ordered probably in excess of 20 times. However last time we ordered I got a phone call saying they cant make garlic naans vegan. They provided no explanation as to why they had been sending me garlic naans supposedly vegan all the other times. As you can imagine I was not very happy about this. The manager said he would check with the staff and get back in touch with me after the weekend with an explanation. He hasn’t. I no longer have any trust in this establishment and it’s quite concerning as if my experience is anything to go by, people with dietary requirements due to allergies or intolerances could be put at risk
