The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

I really enjoy the food from here, its great value and the authenticity of the dishes is almost incomparable to anywhere else locally. No super sweet western style curries here... spicy meaty sauces that genuinely display the flavours of the east. The customer area of the shop could really do with a good clean and some updating. A family member of mine stopped going because they were not happy with the cleanliness of the front of the shop.

Sadly, it’s temporarily closed due to a business issue - with a note on the front door. I was pleasantly impressed by the quality of this take away by Dhamaka. I ordered the chicken vindaloo and pilau rice. A very tasty and generous meal it was too. I’m happy to recommend this place for dining in or ordering a take away. It’s easy to find among the row of Bitterne Triangle shops. It has seats for about 40 people in all. Clean, tidy and comfortable seats with basic but tasteful decor. Staff are welcoming and service is provided on time.

Been using this takeaway since it opened as Paach bali and it used to be excellent but we had a really poor experience a few months ago where the food was very bland and just not worth the money. We decided to try them again yesterday and we had another bad experience and will not be using them again. We had prawn on puri and they were tiny and the puri would fit on a small saucer, it was quite bland and the prawns were also tiny. The main meals were not much better with the butter chicken was bland and the dansak didn't even have pineapple in which it has in the past (i do realise some curry houses don't add it but here has in the past). Don't know if the management of chef has changed but i can make a nicer one myself so will do so in future or travel further afield

Very disappointing food! KFC Indian BITES The chicken was very dry and stringy. Obviously been cooked hours/days before serving and just warmed up. CRISPY CAULIFLOWER Pre cooked and warmed up. Very disappointed as was looking forward to Award winning Indian food. Need to up their game as I wouldn't buy from there again.

very nice staff and service, the spot is very clean and quiet very nice for a casual night out with family or friends,food came fast and was very lovely, the staff shows big respect to customers would definitely come here again

"A delightful evening at 'The Olive Tree' - the homemade pasta with pesto was simply divine, perfectly cooked with fresh flavors. The service was warm and attentive, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend for a special occasion!".

Fantastic portion sizes lovely taste would definitely recommend. Delivery drivers always polite and using the app so easy to order.

Ordered online for nice family Saturday night takeaway never to receive food or even a phone call to say that they would not be delivering
