The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Wonderful food and service. Great value and good size portions. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming again

Last night we visited Hanney Spice for their Monday Banquet Evening. It was absolutely delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Our first visit but definitely not our last. Many thanks to all.

Went to Zeera last night and had an excellent meal. All food was very well cooked, nice an hot and more than enough to fill you up. Cannot think of anything negative. Will definately visit again. Thanks

We were a party of 6 on a busy Friday night. Service was speedy, good humoured and attentive. Our mains included sea bass, salmon, chilli king prawn, chicken shashlic and lamb madras, vegetable sides, naans & rice. Food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was quite full and pleasantly atmospheric.

Had a takeaway and it was awful and stone cold the chicken tikka main we had was just plain chicken not an fried onion in site the breads were cold and the curries were boring cold and tasteless they have gone off the boil won’t be back

Been here twice before - no issues, went tonight, 3 of the 4 main dishes not eaten, bland and tasteless! Questioned the £75 bill - no drinks just water- to receive the reply - we’ve give you 10% off the bill!! Won’t be goin back!!! 💩💩

This is an Indian/ Bangladeshi restaurant serving fabulous food, great menu, we opted for popadoms for 2, Sheek kebab starter + tandoori king prawns (to die for) main course, Bombay dreams and traditional chicken madras, pilau rice and roti, wide choice of alcohol or non alcoholic drinks, exceptional service. Good value for money!!! Highly recommend.

Won't be going back there. Plastic starters from the pingepong, and a chicken jalfrazie that was nearly vegetarian. Only 7 chunks of dry chicken in it, and all the veg was still crunchy.

This restaurant is a real gem. Beautiful Indian food. Superbly cooked with friendly service. The Chefs specials are terrific and unusual. Highly recommended.

Average given the price. Nothing particularly bad, but given the price the food quality was about average and nothing really stood out as wow, as you would hope for somewhere charging £50/head. On the face of it the decor looks ornate and impressive, but actually when you looked closer the wood panelling looked tired, and in places may have had black mould on the edges of the mouldings. The atmosphere was also somehow cold and lacking warmth and class — it is possible this was due to a poor choice of lighting, mostly overhead and cold in temperature, and not enough side lighting and of a warmer colour temperature. It was also actually cold! It is not clear why the air conditioning would be on and set to such a low temperature in October. It was too cold for my 74 year old mother, but eventually they did provide a small space heater, which greatly improved things. The staff were friendly and helpful — i.e. with the space heater —and the manager honoured the price I was quoted online, which disagreed with the price in the menu in the restaurant.

The restaurant is not accommodating for large groups. The food was excellent, and the service was satisfactory during the meal, although the main courses took a bit too long to arrive. The issue arose when it was time to pay the bill. Despite informing the staff beforehand that our group of 15 would be paying separately, the manager insisted on providing a single bill for us to sort out amongst ourselves. This is challenging when some are paying by card, and it's not practical to expect customers to carry change. The correct approach would have been to allow each person to pay for their own order. Although they eventually permitted this, the hassle significantly detracted from the overall experience. It seems the staff are not focused on customer support. I recall a similar situation last year when an additional fee was charged for card payments. I had hoped for an improved experience this year, but it appears a different choice will be necessary in the future.

Food came in drips and drabs as they were busy and some of our order was missing and they were very unpleasant and we left early without finishing our food as we waited over one and half hours for total food order.

Both curries tasted exactly the same. When I told the lad this he made a non-committal noise but after the meal the manager behind the bar came over and explained that they’d run out of one of the “pastes”?! So - they were the same. Would have been better to have been advised beforehand as mine was far too hot for my personal taste. Nice people, nice surroundings, average food, poor communication. By the time you’ve added rice to your dishes, curries are becoming expensive. Let’s face it, we don’t have to add on £3-4 for potatoes and vegetables if we go to a pub. This needs to change.

I meet friends there most months and we are always very happy with the food and staff. I visit India most years so know what a good curry should taste like and Aashiq's is as close to real Indian as you can get in the UK.
