The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Ordered a house special comprising a tasty spinach curry and a delicious mushroom curry 🥰 Together with the pilau rice and the largest naan bread I have ever seen, it was more than I could eat but my family happily shared it 😊 Impressed by the staff who made us feel welcome even though we were the last people in the restaurant and didn't try to hurry us up. They were happy for me to bring in my own reusable cup and didn't enquire as to the contents. The decor was very tasteful with lights that changed colour which had quite a relaxing effect.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Will definitely go again.

Excellent food great service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food and we will be going again. It was quite busy when we went but the service was absolutely great.

Friendly welcome, quick service throughout but not rushed, food was ready in good time too. Food was really good; hot and very tasty.

My mum and I really fancied a curry while we were in Margate and after doing some research we came across this restaurant! With it already having a high star rating we thought we would give it a try, and we are so glad we did. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious! We decided to both go for the non-vegetable thali and it was lovely, it included chicken tikka, sheek kebab, meat (lamb) bhuna, chicken curry, rice and naan bread! It was so filling and we left feeling very happy and well fed! I would 100% recommend to anyone in Margate!

Hosted an 80th birthday here for twenty people. Food was amazing, staff were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble & it all went like clockwork.

This is the best Indian in Kirkby. I order from them once a month & the food is always wonderful. I usually collect my order on the way home from work & the staff are always friendly & helpful.

Visited on a Friday evening with friends that I haven’t seen in a while. I liked everything about the restaurant except for the live music. To have music that loud in a restaurant made it extremely difficult to talk as we could barely hear one another. The place already has a real buzz about it so the music added nothing. People go with their friends to restaurants to talk - not to listen to music. Enjoyed the food though.

In these difficult times we thought we would treat ourselves to a takeaway. We had been told that the Lal Bagh was very good but as we didn't know the town too well we asked a local where it was. They told us that Lal Bagh was a bit of a walk from where we had parked and that the Indian Village was just around the corner and they said it was also good, sadly the meal was very disappointing. The mains and the rice were far too salty to a point where you could barely taste the flavours, both the mains were very thin, very similar base and taste. On a plus side the chicken pieces, although small, were of good quality. Considering it was £34 for two mains, two rice and one nan bread, they hadn't even included a couple of complimentary poppadums' or salad, which we always receive in all the 'other' Indian restaurants we use. Sadly we won't be returning but will definitely try Lal Bagh next time.

I was there yesterday but the lady serving was on the call and it is very unprofessional. It was irritating as you would ask for something but as she was on the earpods won't listen properly. But I liked the food. Chef is good.

We’ve been using this restaurant for many years. To dine in or take out. Always lovely and welcoming staff and delicious food. Majority of my close friends and family locally or who live in surrounding areas all share our love for Vakas. Always our go to Indian restaurant.

Visited on Christmas Eve. The restaurant was very busy but the staff were as welcoming as usual. The service was spot on and the food as good as usual. Always enjoy our visit to Amans and they always make us feel very welcome.

Appayon is consistently fantastic. I regularly have take aways and occasionally eat in. I’ve never had a poor experience. Always friendly staff and the Currys taste delicious. I would happily recommend this restaurant as being one of the finest curry restaurants around. Thank you Appayon.

Friendly welcome. It looked like most diners had a voucher like us and that did not bother the Vaasu team a bit. Excellent service, delicious Royal Cosmopolitan. But the food... heaven. Beautifully presented, stunning flavours.

Such a shame, has changed hands and didn’t like the food. Had a special offer for early diners but even at a cheap price I wouldn’t eat. No flavour, bad taste and a waste of money. So sorry but not my place to go to anymore.
