The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Alan (the owner) is great. The food is really nice. Would suggest eating in as the food is best served fresh. However, sometimes portions can be a bit small. Nonetheless, highly recommended.

We've been here several time now and I really can't recommend highly enough. The food is exquisite authentic Indian cuisine. The service is first class. The waiters and manager genuinely care and make sure that your experience is amazing. Two for one cocktails at happy hour are a bonus. We also stayed at the 4 star hotel Farnley Tower that is attached to the restaurant and it was great. If you love great attentive service and fantastic authentic Indian food this is the place for you!!!

30+ of us there this evening. Good food & service, not quite sure about the "In your dreams" response to "I'm sure I know you from somewhere" remark, but there you go. Different strokes & all that.

Dined here with 2 friends last night. Never been before but will definitely return. The food was delicious and good portions. The ambience was good and customer service excellent. Afghan chicken was amazing. Sweet but spicy. Can’t fault it and would highly recommend.

very nice, enjoyed. Big portions x

Had a delivery tonight. It was disgusting. Full of salt, hardly edible. The crowning glory was the charcoal reduced naan bread.

We were regular customers at the Toran before it changed its name and live locally. We popped in early on a Friday evening to order a takeaway and despite there being no one in the restaurant at all, we were told it would be 30 mins. As we live locally, we popped home and then returned half an hour later to pick up our food. It wasn’t ready, so we waited another 15 minutes or so. No problem at this stage until we discovered that our takeaway had been given to another customer who had taken it home! The front of house staff member was completely ineffective and tried unsuccessfully to contact the other customer to bring our food back. He then ignored us for about 10 minutes while looking for yet another customers order. At this stage, we asked for our food to be recooked, to be told it would be another half an hour wait. By this time, we had had enough and we asked for a refund but were told it could only be refunded to the card that paid for it - this was now at home! Another of our party drove back out to the restaurant with the card for the refund, to arrive and be told that they had recooked our order. It was blatantly obvious that our original order had been returned and had been reheated. Eventually, we were given a refund but in cash this time, and from the wallet of the front of house member of staff as he couldn’t work the card machine. We rang another takeaway as we left the stone burner, drove to Warminster and it was ready when we arrived and cost significantly less! I am afraid that the stone burner has lost a local customer. Poor service.

We are longstanding customers of Bharat and The Lion before it and visited recently with friends, it was the first time since Raj left. Unfortunately the food was disappointing and so was the service. Gone are the friendly staff; one of the waiters didn’t even understand us let alone chat to us. Barat was always a treat because it was a bit on the pricey side but it was always very good. We probably won’t go back now after 25+ years.

We had a lovely meal mid week nice place and lovely vibes staff were very welcoming and friendly food was fantastic very good would visit again next time we are here

We had our wedding reception at Hankies and it was absolutely fantastic. The food, the atmosphere and the service all exceeded our expectations and our guests were raving about the food long after the event. A special thank you to Florian who was wonderful to work with – he was extremely responsive, reassured us that everything was in hand and delivered the most memorable event for us. We could not recommend Hankies and the team enough!

Absolutely amazing food, we came up from London. And definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended, great service as well.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Great to find a restaurant open at lunchtime. Visited yesterday with my cousin and returned today with my son. I'll start with just one negative - prawns were nicely cleaned, but the tail was left on which when hidden in rice was unexpected. That said the food is really delicious, especially the Aloo chaat. Staff warm and friendly - nice relaxing lunch. Will be back!

We went in 2023. It was our wedding anniversary in July. My husband booked with the previous owners. But unfortunately For us the restaurant changed hands in between. However the new owners went above and beyond to actually open the restaurant for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. How cool is that, they went above and beyond to honour their commitment. Food was fabulous and we had a great time. Thank you

Excellent Indian Restaurant.... had an impromptu lunch chicken pasanda, coconut rice, chicken tikka byriana.... it was delicious. Amazing service too
