The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

First visit after a few recommendations. One large drab room, pretty soulless, a bit like eating in a school dining room. Very busy and extremely noisy. That’s just an observation not a criticism. Competent run of the mill fare nothing unpleasant but nothing memorable. But the staff! Are these guys moonlighting from the local funeral home? Sullen and indifferent, it is not an exaggeration to say the only time one of them spoke was a monosyllabic enquiry if we were ready to order. When collecting the plates between courses it was just straight in there in silence, bar the odd hand gesture to beckon the passing of the plates down the table. Even on paying the bill not a peep. It didn’t matter how many smiles, or please and thank you’s we proffered it was all met in stony faced silence. We won’t be retuning, most probably a more enjoyable experience stopping in and unblocking the sink. Lighten up lads.

Poor Service long waiting times We waited over 45 minutes for some desserts. When I asked the staff how long it would be, they became quite annoyed with me even asking. Proceeded to explain that they only have two people working. I would definitely recommend a travelling to Leeds Road where the service is much faster and the staff are definitely more Courteous. Deeply disappointed

A great meal out with a couple of vegetarian friends who declared that, having lived in the area for many years and never been in this restaurant before, it was the best Indian meal they've had since they moved here. For my wife and I it was our first visit, and we'll be going back. Excellent.

Beverages are very expensive. Food is reasonable priced. Tried the butter chicken and tandoori roti and it was amazing on that particular day.

A really lovely evening, the service was 10/10. Prompt, happy and chatty with the children. A good atmosphere and great food!

I don't often write reviews. But after this experience I've got to. I can honestly say that this is the worst Indian restaurant that I have ever visited in my lifetime. The food was totally disgusting I'm sorry I didn't take a photo. After 10 minutes after the food arrived we couldn't believe it. We asked to speak to the manager or the chef and we told them what we thought about the food which I couldn't say on here. We refused to eat it and decided to leave.when we were leaving my wife decided she needed to use the ladies.when she came out she said she couldn't use it because the toilet bowl was absolutely disgusting plus the was used toilet paper all over the floor. I am that furious about this place I've decided to report them to the local health authority. Please do not visit this place. It's absolutely disgusting . How they haven't been closed down is unbelievable. Avoid at all cost believe me. Go to Bridport that's we done and had a beautiful meal

You might wish to check the food hygiene standards agency before eating here. I will add. I've not eaten here but was planning to but after seeing the food hygiene standards rating. Sorry, I will not be seeing what this restaurant has to offer.

This place was an amazing place for a quiet relaxing Indian, where nothing was too much trouble. The food was perfect usually I can eat a whole meal but the portions here were large and delicious and they let us all have takeaway tubs. We were a bit of a pain but the server didn't complain or moan he was very polite and understanding. I would definitely recommend cinnamons to anyone.

Visiting from Glasgow, and seen this place was highly recommended. From the off the staff couldn’t be any more helpful and the food was great as well. Starter we had a mixed grill kebab between us. Portions are very generous. For main we had karahi Lamb was cooked to perfection and also we had the king prawn tandoori. Prices are very reasonable with a meal for 3 with starters, mains, breads and rice with drinks at a reasonable £70. Will definitely be back, nice cozy atmosphere in the place and staff are very polite.

Lovely evening sitting outside watching the world go by, accompanied by great food and service. Thank you to all at New Khyber!

Just got a take away from here the service was great and all the food was out standing fresh and hot and plenty of it will mostly definitely be going back.so thank very much for the lovely food

Totally Delicious…cannot fault the food and service. The best Indian in bath :)! We had a mixture of chicken korma, black dhal makhani, peshwari naan, chicken langri… all so flavoursome. Thank you!

If I could give it six, I would. Superb food; I had chicken tikka biryani and it was a delight. Full of flavour and the rice was perfectly cooked. My wife had king prawn korma and loved it. We shared sag aloo and loved it. The staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, a delightful experience.

Ordered food online as before. We have had some issues in the past and on this occasion they delivered a chicken tikka dish instead of a paneer tikka for a vegetarian. Didn't know it was chicken until they bit into it. The shop admitted chef made mistake but no apology and seemed uninterested and even rude about it. Clearly didn't want to replace the meal and not concerned they gave meat to a vegetarian. Even asked for the meal back, although had bitten into at least one piece of chicken. Terrible customer service. Wont be ordering again.

Es una lástima que este restaurante se haya visto obligado a cerrar. Uno de los pocos restaurantes indios que en realidad tenía Methi Ghust en su menú, y también era una delicia. Amplias porciones de carne, excelentes arroces y un paratha relleno completaron la fiesta.Gracias al personal también: educado, servicial y nunca condescendiente como lo son algunos restaurantes menores.Esperemos que el propietario pueda encontrar un local de reemplazo cercano, pero me temo que el área de Elephant and Castle pronto estará más allá de la redención.
