The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

We originally planned to dine at Jodphur Indian Restaurant on Kirkstall Road with the family, but since they were fully booked, we decided to try Punjabi Haven instead. Unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. Food: We started with a Mixed Grill, which lacked flavour and was surprisingly bland. The Tandoori Prawns were coated in an overwhelming amount of dry masala, masking the actual taste of the prawns. For the main course, the Butter Chicken was excessively sweet, the Kadai Chicken was too oily, and the Punjabi Lamb lacked the bold, spicy kick you’d expect from a dish carrying the Punjabi name. Ambiance & Location: The restaurant’s location is convenient, but the ambiance didn’t particularly stand out. It lacked the warmth and vibrant atmosphere typically associated with Punjabi dining. Service: Service was average, with no major delays, but nothing exceptional either. The staff were polite, though not especially engaging or attentive. In all, Punjabi Haven has a long way to go if it wants to live up to its name. The flavours and experience simply didn’t reflect authentic Punjabi cuisine. So much so, that my daughters chose to skip dessert there and instead headed to Heavenly Desserts in Headingley to salvage the evening.

Omg! Saw this when walking back to my hotel. A brilliant fusion between Indian street food and British classics. The food, the taste and the presentation is amazing. I only wish it was closer to me. Anytime I come to Sheffield I will definitely be coming here. And customer service from the staff is great too!

A really delicious meal with wonderful service. They will make the dishes according to your personal requirements. We will definitely come again.

Unbelievably tasty food but even better is the lovely service. Always such a warm welcome and I would recommend to everyone. Every time I go, they ask about my family and make sure we have the best time. So friendly.

Really enjoyed the food. Service was really good. I struggled between two choices and the waitress gave me in depth descriptions of the two so I could choose one better for me. They also accommodated a food not on the menu and the waiter checked everything was okay which was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will be coming again

First time trying this place tonight and just WOW!! Everything we ordered was perfection thank you!! 10/10 can’t wait to have again!!

The food is amazing. So is the customer service. I received a complimentary drink. The food is filled with flavour and tailored to your level of spiciness. I would highly recommend ☺️

What a fantastic find! We were recommended by friends to give this place a try and wow they did really impress. The food tasted fresh and full of flavours. The young lady was really helpful with making choices off the menu the service was top notch. Restaurant had a lovely ambience to. We will be back regular.

after seeing such good reviews we were very excited to visit. but our table was booked for 6.30 and we only received starters at 8. there was a dark hair in my curry. was barely busy and the service was extremely disappointing. staff acting as if they have never had a job before. a waiter we had put the food on the table without asking who it was for or saying what it was. bill was incorrect adding around £20 extra to the whole family bill, the menus price is different then what they charge. will never be stepping foot in there ever again.

Esta es mi segunda visita en tantas semanas Servicio - el personal nos recordó y nos trató con respeto de una manera cálida y familiar Preguntaron por nuestros hijos lo cual fue un buen toque - en realidad recordaron mi nombre Comida - El menú es pequeño - que era refrescante. Tuve chuletas de cordero para empezar que es una explosión de sabores y olores Tuve huevo Massalla - 2 huevos - hervido en la deliciosa salsa - tan sabroso Es con diferencia mi plato favorito Mi esposa tenía Massalla de Langostinos que venía con cebolla chiles y una salsa fabulosa los aromas eran simplemente maravillosos Muy recomendable

What an amazing place to have right next to Old Trafford , had an amazing mixed vegan kebab box it was all piping hot and the box was like a treasure trove of flavours. Deffo hit the spot.

I visited Himalayan Restaurants and Bar. The ambiance is great. The food is absolutely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Jhol (soup) Momo is absolutely delicious. Service also great. 10 out of 10 .

We visited here for a quick dinner after seeing good reviews and we were really impressed. The restaurant is very small, so do think about booking if you want to eat in. For 4 poppadoms, two mains, two sides, two drinks and a naan it came to £40, which we thought was excellent value. There’s loads of choice of curries and they were really enjoyable. Portion size was huge, we didn’t finish ours and took leftovers home. You can take your own alcohol and soft drinks and there’s a car park nearly opposite the restaurant. It’s a real local gem 💎

Excellent... What can I say. The food and the service was brilliant. Definitely will be back.

Ordered a takeaway nearly two hours ago. Went to collect it on time, they haven’t even cooked it or seen the order. Said they would deliver it, an hour later and still not here. Phoned and was passed through three people who refused any discount. Said driver was leaving and it’s still not here. Avoid.
