The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

My partner and I had a meal here this evening and everything was perfect! The service was amazing and the food was presented beautifully and full of flavour. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Highly recommended!

This is as authentic as it gets. Tucking into that lamb biryani was like being transported back home to Mumbai in India…..packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. We also had the Vada Pau and the Pani Puri both served so beautifully and once again 100% authentic Indian street food. Having lived in England for 20 years and tried gazillions of “Indian” restaurants all over the country I can genuinely say Chef de Mumbai is the only restaurant that truly delivers for taste as well as for Indian hospitality (the owners were so welcoming). Thank you so much for an amazing evening!

Fabulous food. My only complaint is that the staff were a little too enthusiastic topping up drinks and removing plates.

First time we've visited this restaurant and we were very impressed. The owners were very friendly, the food and service were both excellent. We will definitely go back when we get the chance.

We've been to Red Koyla a few times in the past year and the food quality has certainly steadily declined from how it was originally. This was probably our last visit. The quality of the lamb dish( biryani) I chose was poor, I cut the pieces of lamb as they were chewy and they were clearly hard and very dry. The rice itself was ok but not great. Our chicken dish had that shiny look associated with ready -made sauces and it tasted that way too. The chef asked us how our food was before we had tasted it, so we just said "fine". There was no point in mentioning our disappointment as the chef said goodbye as he left the restaurant around 8.30pm ( only 2 other customers were there) leaving a young woman in charge. It's such a shame as this restaurant was great when it first opened.

Simply a brilliant bar. Great atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly. Beer is amazing, cider, wine, sparkling perry. This pub has won national awards even pub of the year. Food is cracking and the decor and general layout is wonderful. If you get a chance drop in you will be very pleasantly surprised!

The best Indian restaurant in Essex,I wouldn't go anywhere else

We booked for a meal before the theatre. We told the staff and they ensured they were quick and prompt which was really appreciated. We ordered from the pre theatre menu (which I have a feeling is gong to be phased out). Food was delicious and the pre theatre menu is fantastic value.

Super place. Made us so welcome for a family celebration. Great food too!

Went this evening… very nice food and service but realised that the prices have gone up £2-£3 per dish so actually it’s not a reasonable price restaurant anymore

Our delayed Christmas meal! Delicious food all cooked fresh (This isn't fast food) Highly recommend for authentic indian food Thanks for a great meal One of the group wasn't into spicey food but she had a dish made especially for her (duck) and she was delighted with it and will return That's service

I don’t normally write any reviews but I really want to praise this restaurant for the excellent service, food experience! Our food was delicious not greasy at all which is how I normally feel after a curry!

Picked up a takeaway from here for the first time and I will definitely be back. Been looking for a good local Indian for a while and it did not disappoint!

You wont get another good place for Indian food in Ilkley than this. I tried the Tandoori Chicken Curry full of flavours with a warm flavour not too hot.

The place is closed. Do not go just by Google maps.
