The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Discounts advertised on their website are very misleading. Offering discounts for landline orders and orders over £20 15% discount. You don’t get them!!!! Very misleading. Food average for very expensive prices. When I tried to query the price was fobbed off with ‘you need to use the app to get these discounts!!!! Only accept cash too which is always a trigger for me. Won’t be returning .

Always enjoy the food here and prefer to visit and eat in. Our American relatives said it was the best indian meal they had while in UK, so much so they went twice, once with us and then with other old friends. Friendly staff and really excellent food. it's a pity that Covid meant that they had to focus on takeaways because it is clean, comfortable, you can take your own drinks and you are made to feel welcome inside. If you like indian food this will take some beating.

The food here was excellent. We usually have delivery however we went in to eat for a special occasion.

I’ve eaten in many Indian restaurants around the country and this is one of the best. Excellent flavours and beautifully prepared. It seems to be consistently good. Highly recommend.

Amazing as always. We eat here regularly, and the food and service is always amazing. Very obliging with any requests. Extremely popular and always busy.

There are 3 Gunpowder locations in London. I went to the one in Spitalfields. It’s a very small restaurant that serves delicious takes on Indian food. Everything is creative and mouthwatering. I had the absolutely delicious kale salad - the kale is crispy! And the leaf wrapped fish with a creamy mustard sauce - very moist and tasty. From my reservation, they knew my birthday was approaching so I also got a dessert with a birthday candle - very thoughtful! The waitpersons and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. London is known for good Indian food, Gunpowder really stands out as a great example.

The food was very good. We had chicken tikka and a tikka mixed grill. However the overall experience was let down by the atmosphere and lack of interest by staff. It felt like you were an inconvenience.

We arrived just after 6pm in time for the Early Bird offer advertised outside of the restaurant which stated before 6.30. The waiter eventually took our order after 30 minutes and said we had missed the early bird offer. After much haggling and a very complicated 'what's included in the offer/not included' we placed an order with the offer agreed with the waitir. However, we were still waiting for our food 30 minutes later despite only 2 people being in the restaurant! The manager was rude and intimidating. We left paying for our drinks and starter. An awful experience! Would not recommend.

Lovely food and atmosphere!!! Food was tasty and great value for money. The young waitress maddie who bought over our drinks and popadoms was very polite and helpful. Jenny was very friendly and could and do not enough for us. Would definitely recommend.

I always really enjoy Akbars. Food is great and definitely has a bit more of a kick to it than some Indian restaurants. Me and my wife visited and enjoyed a night last weekend on a busy weekend in Sheffield. Service was still great despite how busy it was. I must say, the staff were excellent with me as I had a mass bout of cramp which to them must have looked like I was having a heart attack! Lol. They all attended to me and brought drinks and chairs over, constantly asking if I was ok and needed more help. We will be going back, it’s always well run and the food is great.

Great food. You can taste all the fresh spices. Friendly guys working there. Stunning table dressing.

East provided catering for our office for a business event which was absolutely immaculate. The service was also brilliant everyone was extremely polite and attentive. I had previously visited East a few months prior where again the food was incredible. I would highly recommend East to anyone.

They called me, claiming to be from Vodafone. It came up as "Jeera", and when I searched the number, it was on their website. This makes me think that the restaurant is a front for scam callers to operate from or something. If they are not a front, then they need to change their number. If they are, then I wouldn't eat their food if someone paid me, since if their food is as good as their ability to pull off a convincing scam, then it can't be very good at all.

Si te gusta un curry caliente echa un vistazo a este lugar. Tuve una madras y está allí con lo mejor hasta ahora. Servicio animado por el gerente que hizo todo lo posible por servirnos. Yo, Mam y yo volveríamos; el keema naan es para morirse.

Came here for birthday meal and told table we booked wasn’t available. So rude & 0 apology just the most awful service. Won’t be returning.
