The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Great food and service. Had a drink in the bar across the road whilst deciding what to eat. The quirky decor drew us to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. From the friendly and welcoming staff to the young man who served us and fully explained the menu and how it worked the whole experience was a pleasure. Both our curries were delicious as were the paratha breads that came with them. The lamb curry on the bone (so tender that it fell off the bone) and the chicken curry were fresh made and delicious. If we are back in Blackpool we will definitely have a return visit.

Best restaurant I have ever been to , food lovely ,staff very polite, spotlessly clean, made us feel very welcome, fantastic menu.

There was 14 us visited on Fri 18/10/24 for my birthday. The food was amazing from the poppadoms and pickle tray, starters and mains. The food was freshly cooked and so tasty. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was fantastic and friendly too. Highly recommend. I love their merg modhu shale it’s delicious, but one of our group really enjoyed the chocolate masala too. Plenty of choice and all tasted delicious. We will be back soon 5 stars from us all star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I had a lovely time at Spice Route. The food was AMAZING - best we've had in a long time! And the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

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.

I attended with 2 friends for an evening meal on a Saturday at the Chilli Massala in Stockport. Got parked right outside (there's a car park within 3 minutes walk too if you can't). Very friendly staff greeted us and showed us straight to a prepared table. One friend then headed across the road to an off license to buy some wine for herself. They allow and encourage Bring Your Own Booze here, with no corkage charge. The menu has literally a huge choice, for one friend this was to be her first ever Asian meal. The waiters helped her to choose and then poppadoms galore with dips arrived (we'd asked for them). The sauces kept being topped up vigourously. I can't remember what we all had. But the main courses were delicious. Accompanied by a selection of naan breads and rice. One of the most delicious meals I've had a long time. Served by staff that seem to fly around the place to attend to the needs of those dining. Great place, great service, incredible food. Highly recommended. Thank you all!

Great food tasty popadoms & lime picklethe Madras was nice & spicy, service excellent and efficient as always. Will be back soon!

Really lovely food, ambience, and service, with interesting wine pairings. Engaging blend of well presented dishes paired with eating things with your hands which stops it feeling too formal. Genuinely different recipes and ingredients. A relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where licking the last of your delicious food from your fingers is encouraged not frowned upon!

Absolutely lovely staff atmosphere and more importantly the food was incredible best Indian we’ve had for a while. Thanks so much 🙏🏻

What a wonderful find! Our dinner was delicious, atmosphere brilliant but was made it for us, were the fabulous staff! So helpful and lovely, thank you all! Highly recommend.

Really great customer service, welcoming staff & warm ambience. We tried the (fusion style) murgh tarka dishes for mains that really hit the spot! So glad they offer a delicious gluten free option for dessert. Thank you Thalio
