The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Komal Very good service, she helped us to choose delicious foood. The way she welcomed us was amazing, after hectic day I went there her servicemade my day. Will come again

Been visiting the Goa for over 30 years and the food and service are always exceptional. Hassan and his team are brilliant hosts and are happy to give advice to those who need help choosing their dishes. Boxing up any leftovers is also offered with no fuss so you don't waste what you've paid for.

Had a brilliant night. Polite lovely staff showed us what to do as we hadn’t been before. Food was beautiful! we really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff were so helpful bringing us another Pepsi seconds after we asked. Will definitely be returning soon

Ordered chicken Tikka tandoori. Chicken Tikka authentic, the bhuna sauce that you have to pay extra for was like gravy. Hardly any salad. Had a portion of mushroom bhaji and the only spice that you could taste was salt. Will never order a takeaway from here again

We went here after a long day and night cricket match. Advance reservation is almost mandatory. We were treated to great three course meal. All authentic “beyond boundaries” in true sense. I have never seen such a varied menu in small establishment. Starter to coffee and desert attention to fine detail is impeccable. Drinks are slightly on expensive - a can of 0% ALE was £7-50 plus 13% service charge Other than that no complaints as the ambience and food were exceptional. The staff explained unfamiliar dishes very well to all three of us with different tastes and different backgrounds.

The best curry that I have had in a long time. Couldn't fault anything. Service also great. Good value for money and incredibly fresh and not greasy food.

Excellent meal. Friendly staff. We were on holiday and it was just the job. Tasty king prawn dansak and chicken korma. BYO drink option was brilliant.

Myself and my wife visited last night. Lovely food, particularly enjoyed my peshwari nann, the condiments with the poppadoms were very tasty. Best Indian restaurant in Ferndown 🙂👍

Table of 2 Saturday night 7pm November Service was great, very fast, very helpful polite staff but unfortunately that's the only positive thing about this review. seating is not great, not intimate at all, the only way I could describe our table is that it was down the middle aisle, with tables on both sides of metal rails. The tables were so close to each other we may as well have been a table of 4 with the strangers next to us. The table next to us was separated by waist high metal rails, but was so close to us we could hear all of their conversation as they could ours, no privacy at all. The restaurant could at least stagger the tables so that they are not as close or directly next to each other, honestly I cannot stress now how uncomfortable it was, and we found it very intrusive. We had high expectations for the food having eating in the lir steak restaurant, but the food was disappointing. Lamb very dry, chicken very very dry and the sag paneer had four bits of cheese in it! Flavour were ok. Over all wasn't anything special and we were left disappointed, for that reason we wouldn't return or recommend.

Had a amazing experience trying out new foods. The food is really amazing. The staff was really polite. One of my favorite resturants to visit.

Having been customers of Balti House in HH for 15 years we thought we’d just try somewhere new. We got takeaway from here and it was so disappointing. Rice and naan were ok but the main dishes were watery and tasteless. I genuinely suspect they had been watered down as they were very thin and the taste had been washed away. Sorry to say this as there seem to be some good reviews in the past.

We discovered this restaurant as a pub closer to the cottage we were staying in was not able to open. Can only say what a discovery! Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere & exceptional staff. The meal was a good price as well for what we had. The food was, without doubt, some of the best Indian food I have had anywhere. the Raita was definitely the best one I've had. The curries we ordered were perfect, the meat was plentiful and tender and the sauces were superb. The Naans & Tandoori Roti were spot on. The staff were friendly, helpful and were smiling the whole evening. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make everyone feel special. My wife , mother and I all said we intend to return again in the future to repeat the experience. All in all, a restaurant worth making a trip to if you are in the area. If you don't try it, you are missing out on a great experience.

We gave Spices 4 u a try based on Trip advisor feedback. We were very disappointed by the quality of what we received. It did not reflect the description of the dishes on the menu. I ordered a lamb dish. Being a butcher I can say the meat used was a poor excuse for lamb and that the 4 cubes included in my meal weighed no more than 2 ounces in weight. The sauce was very bland and tasteless and of a peculiar foamy texture. All in all it was extremely disappointing and expensive for the quality and presentation of the food in my opinion.

Me again. Back again. Couldn’t wait to come back. Beautiful food. Lovely staff. I adore it here. 10/10 worth the 2 hour drive!

We have dined here on previous occasions and are aware it can get very busy , as we had decided to treat some friends we had told about the great food here , my wife booked well in advance , asked for a specific table and was promised it would be no problem. On the evening we arrived we were left disappointed as they hadn’t reserved the table we requested as agreed , there was some disarray until they located another table which was suitable . Once seated the service was greatly improved, the timing between our starters , mains and drinks orders were well paced and we didn’t feel in anyway rushed unlike some other venues which seemed to succumbed to canteen culture which spoils the dining experience. We and our friends enjoyed our meals and complimented the staff on this , they also apologised for the error with the table reservation as we were leaving .
