The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

I had the pleasure of inviting a group of friends to a fixed menu evening meal to celebrate a significant anniversary at the Tale of Spice. From the freshly laundered gleaming table linen, the smartly dressed staff, the nicely timed arrival of the courses, the generous portions, the sheer variety of what was set before us, everything was spot on and excellent. It would have ben near impossible to improve and all at a very competitive price. All round excellent.

This place never disappoints. We managed to get a table for two at quite short notice and received a very warm welcome on arrival from the friendly and attentive staff. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was great.

Family get together , great food and service from staff could not ask for a better experience will definately be going back in the near future thank you 👍🙏

Hard to resist the glow of this place as I pass by East Street on my cycle home. Kebabs for sure but also try the currys! An excellent chicken tikka masala and fresh naan 👌

Went on the off chance and wasn’t disappointed, the choice and quality of food was amazing, great value for money and one of the best Indians ive had, definitely will return next time we’re in Lanzarote 👍

Wonderful experience Food was exceptional very well presented pleasantly looked after by the owner/ waiter I would highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly be visiting again

Food was ok thou I think a lot of corners have been cut ( trying to save money) but after my dinner I went to the bathroom, it was not clean , walls , sinks and floors all need attention

Four of us went for a meal and although the food was lovely some of the staff were very rude. One in particular was very abrupt.

Had a lovely evening at The Chambers. Food was excellent. Amazing flavours, totally different experience from your standard Indian restaurant with a nod to traditional style Indian food served in a modern way. Serving staff were attentive and friendly. Decor was modern and good atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

We called with literally 2 minutes notice on NYE as we’d booked at Bank House across the road but the service was so appalling that we walked out. Sangams fitted us in with no fuss, and we had great service and a delicious meal at really reasonable prices. The lamb & paneer curry and lemon & cashew rice were particularly good. Thanks so much!

We first found this little gem in November 2023, during a yearly all male trip to the Forest of Dean. We enjoyed it so much we revisited in our way home! We visited again last night, the standard and quality of the most authentic Indian cuisine is always of the highest standard and the service is simply incredible. This family run restaurant go above and beyond to ensure that all Diner's have the best experience! We now look forward to our yearly trip even more as this is now a tradition for us to include as a visit during our trip! Long may they continue!

Have had some nice meals here but last nights takeaway was inedible. The chicken was overcooked and stringy and when I cut it apart it was wierd. It had odd bits in it. Maybe just a strange cut but I couldn’t eat it. Maybe I just got unlucky or there was a bad chef that night. I’d say I’ve had 3 nice meals here and 1 bad one.

We’ve used this takeaway for years and it’s always been really good but tonight’s the curry was completely different, bhajis dry, curries watery and tasteless. They must have completely changed the chef as entirely different to usual. Not good at all.

Awful. Went for valentine's day. Slow order taking, Luke warm starter and bland mains. Chicken jalfrezi bland with loads of flavourless onion and no taste. Chicken pathia taste of Italy and tomato ketchup. Very disappointed. Staff very unorganized. Won't be returning.

We eat at Nirvana regularly, and credit where credit is due. Great food and service, very friendly and efficient. Always welcoming.
