The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Absolutley blown away by the customer service and beautiful food in this restaurant and it wholly deserves its 5*, number 1 status. Greeted at the door, we were early and we politely told the table would be 15mins….popped across the road for a pint, came back and waiter greeted us with first name and sat us at our table. The food - extremely tasty, well presented, varied and the restaurant is happy to make changes should you not like something on the menu. Possibly one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in my 55 years! The service - what can I say that hasn’t already been said? Attentive, interested, chatted to my niece about her choice of university course, wasn’t just being polite, but REALLY chatted. Wanted to know about us, what we’d done in Newcastle, what were our plans. We honestly felt like the only table in there so attentive were they. And finally, the price. Staggeringly reasonable. Just go.

Abul was a great host , Lovely meal cannot wait to go again 👍 brilliant staff and lovely atmosphere . Really enjoyed the place and food .

We got an array of dishes from different sections of the menu and they were all amazing and plated beautifully!! Service was excellent and we'll definitely be back again soon <3

This has been one of my favourite restaurants. I arrived today at 2.20, they do not close until 2.30 . They refused to serve me because they were closed. They have lost a regular customer.

Lovely staff, quick service, good quality food. seated straight away, explained well how to use the ordering services

Booked a table here for Friday at 8pm. what a lovely meal we had, the curries we had were very nice indeed, service was great and was good value. Will definitely be returning very soon.

The food here is absolutely wonderful and the staff are attentive and friendly. I drive nearly 30 miles to dine here it is that good

5 stars all the way, looking forward to going back v soon. The food and the service were both top notch. Go along, you will be delighted that you did!

Such lovely food yet the service let you down. The lamb was cooked well and fell apart. Naan bread thin, crispy and tasty. Great flavours all round, Sadly we seemed to have been overlooked during our dining. We were offered one drink in the 1 hour and 45 minutes we sat in the restaurant. We also didn’t receive the chef’s complimentary amuse bouches, despite seeing other tables having them. We weren’t offered dessert or coffees either. Upon payment of the bill we did mention the service to the waiter, he said they were understaffed. Such a shame!

The best Indian meal we’ve ever had. The restaurant was super clean and it felt like a really comfortable setting. The staff were all fabulous too. We will definitely be going back very soon.

We came here last year when we were staying nearby and it was amazing then and again this March. The staff were fantastic, food awesome. One of the best Indian meals we have had. Thanks again.

10 / 10 comida, el personal es tan amable y se preocupan por sus necesidades y alergias. Recomendaría ir por comida. Currys y entrantes deliciosos

Very lovely meal for my Dad’s birthday. Was a last minute thing and got us a table no problem. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Very good feeling place to go. I was treated extremely nicely as I have a peanut allergy and couldn’t have been more careful, gave me a free Naan bread and communicated very well what I would be able to have. Had the pleasure of 5 free Bailey shots on the house too which was a nice way to end the evening. Thank you for a lovely evening

Absolutely fantastic food and great value, Went as part of a one night stay in Cheltenham, we were so impressed. Food was outstanding. , great flavours and portion size - albeit we had to ask for containers to take some home. Great service and value !!!

First time ordering takeaway from Olive today and OMG the food is so delicious and I'm just sorry we haven't done this sooner. We ordered Butter Chicken Tikka, Lamb Rogan Josh, Mushroom and Spring Onion Rice, Onion Bhaji (you get 3), Garlic & Olive Oil Naan and a Fruit and Coconut Peshwari Naan. Definitely a bit pricier than other takeaways however the ingredients are all fresh, definitely NO radioactive looking sauces or tough meat here - it's all incredibly tasty, high quality food. The curry portions are really large for just one person although my hubby and I both have very hearty appetites so we did just about finish it all (though we were absolutely stuffed!). They were both very mild curries where normally we might have expected them to have a little bit of a kick, but honestly we didn't mind because everything was so completely and utterly delicious! Can't wait to order again soon! (wish I'd taken a photo but we were so hungry we just devoured right away)
