The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

I didn't dine in so this review is about a takeaway. Odd times I like to treat myself and I've been to the Shajan restaurant since the very early days when it was little more than a bungalow with my late wife. So being of an age where sometimes things are difficult I decided on a takeaway and ordered a takeaway I have had before, Lamb Sal Boti. When i got it home it looked awful and when I tasted it, it was. Half of it went in the bin, the sauce was watery and there was one large chunk of lamb in the middle plus other smaller lumps. After years of dining and takeaways at the Shajan will I go again? It will take a long time to think about it.

It's really fantastic food and staff also gud very quick service .

Very nice & fresh thanks to the team

Without a doubt, this was the best Indian food we've ever had - it was amazing. The flavors, choices, tastes were all amazing. The restaurant had a really good vibe - some liveliness, but not overly loud, and service was really good. And the atmosphere was really good - it had an air of formality, but yet still fun. But the food was absolutely amazing - can't wait to go back.

Cracking takeaway order, just in time for the England v Serbia game. Tasted great and 25% of all takeaway orders. The mint chilli dip is fantastic.

Excellent food, and great service. I visited with a friend for dinner, and we were not disappointed. My friend loves spicy food and really enjoyed their meal.

Best indian pizzas in North East. Amazing..

A group of 4 of us went on half price night. We all loved our meals. Very tasty with good sized portions. Staff were lovely - thank you to Shah our waiter. We will be back on our next trip to Scarborough.

Called twice after we were let down by another place, and were given a reservation and confirmed, in 20 minutes time. Drove into Keswick to be told that actually they had big bookings coming in and so they couldn’t seat us and could we wait for a table to finish. Possibly 30-45 minutes. Seems to me that they possibly just gambled on a table becoming free but didn’t care that we might be let down if not. Ended up wandering around Keswick desperately trying to find a table somewhere else, with two hungry kids and a grandma. Deeply unimpressed.

The idea is interesting, small plates but interesting and very well cooked. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable which is a very big plus. We've been a couple of times and will go again.

Just had a great meal at Celebrity Indian restaurant. Warmly greeted by staff and given a table with a great view of Broad St. Food was amazing and tasty. Great service by friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Go and try it make your own mind up...you will not be disappointed.

Very accommodating with great attentive service. Fabulous food.

We booked a table for 10pm as we were working late. We arrived at 10:07pm due to traffic, and were greeted with “You’re very late.” And a cavernous sigh. From then on in the service was rushed, curt and rude, despite there being other tables in the restaurant until about 10:45pm. We ordered a beer each which was fine and then at 10:30pm ordered a glass of wine…another cavernous sigh. When the waiter brought the wine, “no more drink. We’re closed now.” The food was excellent, but having booked for 10pm we were then treated like a huge inconvenience, with food just short of thrown at us.

Tasty food, rich sauce, will definitely order again.

Very expensive. Food is good & delicious but quantity is very less and each item serving is very less. We already had an early evening food therefore it went fine otherwise people who are planning to have satisfying portion should check first.
