The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

We had a fantastic evening at Desh with some friends back in August. The service was outstanding, such helpful, friendly staff who can't do enough for you. The food was prompt and beautifully presented and tasted delicious, every dish we had we all thoroughly enjoyed. We've booked again for Nov with different friends and can't wait to return.

Came here for my birthday meal celebration with my family. The food was excellent as was the service. Have visited before and would definitely visit again.

Amazing homemade authentic food, excellently presented and exceptional service. Highly recommended and deffo be back !!

We opted for the six course tasting menu as we had a voucher from buy a gift. A wonderful dining experience. The food was incredible and the service attentive also. I couldn’t move by the end of it, we were so full! We had a few restaurants to pick from with our birthday voucher and I’m so pleased we chose this one!

Booked an early dinner which meant the restaurant was fairly quiet. The staff were all lovely and made sure our experience was top-notch. The food was superb (first time I've had a Chinese starter followed by an Indian main). Every dish was perfectly spiced with tender meat and the sides were fabulous. Massive car park, interesting decor. A really good night.

It was our first visit to this restaurant on 4th November 2024 for dinner. We went to celebrate our sons 8th birthday. Thought it would be a good evening however it was ruined and we left disappointed. We had asked twice to play a birthday song. No one bothered. Just after paying bill while going out of the door one team member asked if we want the birthday song we said may b next year. The food and drinks were delayed . So everything was disappointing. First and last visit must say.

Waited over 2 hours for delivery called them up after 1 hour 40 minutes and said we don't want it if its going to be more than another 20 minutes. It was! So assumed it wasn't coming, when delivery driver got here 2 hours 10 minutes I told the driver we didn't want it and I'm not paying for it. Get basically yelled at telling me I should of phoned and not to bother ordering next time I said I won't don't worry to then the drivers reply was F*CK OFF!! Infront of children. Appalling and a shame really because the food was good from past experiences. Turns out the person who delivered it was a main person within the business.

This is a fabulous restaurant The food is excellent lovely ambience The staff are friendly and professional very knowledgeable about the dishes they serve Very good value for money Our favourite

We did book as we were told it get's busy. The reason for that is because the whole experience is great. From the time you walk in until the time you walk out is a joy. The waiters are friendly, and eager to please, the food is amazing with quick service too. I did think the service would be slow with people walking in for takeaways, but I didn't have to worry. I will be back in March. Thank you.

Found this little restaurant on the off chance. Great service, really good food. Could not fault at all. Would highly recommend

Not really sure what has happened, but this isn't the place it used to be. Service was poor, my drink arrived flat, the poppadoms where stale and the chicken was pink. Real shame as this used to be our Indian Restaurant of choice. I know we weren't the only ones who had an issue, so maybe they were having a bad night. Clearly need to concentrate on either the Restaurant or Takeaway because they can't do both

We had come up to Newcastle for a birthday celebration and had originally booked a table elsewhere that wasn't even open, so a wander around the local area we came across this restaurant. They were able to sit the 6 of us within a decent time frame without a booking. The food was exceptional and very tasty, service was a touch slow but it's a Saturday night and the restaurant was full and quite busy. We did have to ask a couple of times for the drinks we'd ordered but the food was definitely worth the wait. Tasty food and lovely staff, we will definitely return the next time we come over to Newcastle

Stumbled across the restaurant as it was around the corner from our house, Jaydee JD Jay-D unsure how to spell it, Top man too host well done, yeah we came two nights in a row, chicken sambar and chicken madras few cobras bit of nice rice, Spot on, if I’m back I will come here 10/10

Very good atmosphere inside the Resturent gentle sand friendly staff very good service and excellent food had a great time thanks Bengal lounge restaurant

I recently dined at Kathmandu Restaurant for the fourth time, and once again, it was a marvellous experience. The food consistently impresses with its rich flavors and authentic Nepalese dishes. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Highlights from our visit included the succulent Chicken Tikka Biryani and flavorful curries, which were cooked to perfection. Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I highly recommend Kathmandu Restaurant for anyone looking to indulge in fantastic food in a delightful setting. I can’t wait for my next visit! Great food. Great service. My fourth time here with the family and it won’t be our last.
