The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

I had an incredible dining experience at Royal India in Covent Garden. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a beautifully authentic atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, making excellent recommendations tailored to our tastes. The food was truly exceptional—each dish was rich, flavorful, and expertly spiced, capturing the true essence of Indian cuisine. The butter chicken was silky and packed with flavor, while the biryani was aromatic and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or just looking to try something new, Royal India is a must-visit. This is easily one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in London, and I can’t wait to return!

Always delicious food from here and the delivery guy is great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not enough sauce given. Only received 3 small pots for 4 meals.

Your typical Indian restaurant, minus all the busy crowds. We came here for dinner, and there were only three groups of people present. There was one waiter tending to all of us, and he was pleasant and friendly. He recommended some dishes for us, which we enjoyed. The chicken tikka was quite sweeter than expected, but happily eaten with fried rice. The tandoori chicken (mix grill) was enjoyed by all of us, and it was hot from the tandoor. The atmosphere was calm, warm and soothing. In my opinion, the prices were moderate and this was a good dinner experience.

Onion bhaji was ordered but wasn’t delivered with the meal. Naan bread wasn’t quite cooked all the way. Main was nice however. Used to be much better 😢

Hard rice on biryani, only 2 pieces of chicken. Very poor quality. Never going again.

A lovely meal. Great choice of curries. Goa and Tamrind lamb curries were both very good. Staff very friendly and attentive. Kingfisher and Cobra on draught too. Always very busy so best to book.

Having been here before I booked for a group of WI girls. Unfortunately a few went down with a bug before the event so only seven ended up going. I felt awful but the waiter was absolutely fabulous. We then proceeded to have one of the best Indians I've had in a long time. The food was totally amazing. Service was exceptional and they couldn't have been nicer all be it only half of us turned up. So thankyou Cardomom Bay we will definitely return in greater numbers next time.

We called in without a booking but were welcomed very warmly by staff, we ordered our meal and a bottle of wine, the prices are very reasonable and our meal was outstanding, we will visit again on our next trip to bude. Gary and Sue

It's always a great experience. The food here is perfection. Tandoori wings and king prawns are delicious 😋. Staff are lovely and very accommodating.

From the moment we walked in we were made very welcome. For a thursday night there was a good number of people already eating. Didnt have to wait too long for food to start turning up. Place was very clean and food was immaculate. We will certainly be returning next time we are in The Lakes. Cant recommend this place enough

Came across this place on Tuesday evening and what a gem! The service was great, the inside of the restaurant os modern, clean and has a lovely vibe.....prices were very reasonable and the curry was one of the best I have had....I am in the area mostly and now have found my go to curry place! Thanks guys, see you next month

We went there with a group of friends & have to say just how lovely the food was. Started with a salmon tandoor dish followed by their king prawns cooked with ginger & coriander I am quite fussy when it comes to eating prawns, so when I asked the waiter what exactly they are like & how big they ate, he did no more than go get one to show wine! So a lovely meal, excellent service and very good atmosphere, so would def recommend this place.

We drove over to meet a Friend never been before I've had Lots of indian over the years but here was just Amazing Food and you can take your own drink so impressed !Will defo be going Again just such Lovely Vibe there and attentive staff Loved it 😍
