The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

If there is zero star, I would have given that. The owner was arrogant and full of attitude. The restaurant was empty on Saturday night which told the story outcome.The food was horrible, the worst Indian food I have ever had and we have dined in hundreds of Indian restaurants in the UK and around the world. The lamb tasted like rubber. The Butter Chicken was dry swimming in a bland creamy sort of “curry-like sauce”. Food has no presentation and no taste. There was only 2 other customers from out of town oblivious to what was to come. If you enjoy microwave heated food, give it a try!

Fantastic Restaurant, friendly helpful staff, marvellous food, great selection I have been going to Sundarban for 40 years love it

We have been looking for a good Indian Restaurant for ages and to our joy we have found it , excellent food and top service this is our first time here and it definitely won't be our last top top restaurant.

The food was nice, the food is high standard when eating in. I don’t like takeaway from here though but been a few times & every time it’s busy the customer service is terrible & want to over charge.

A very distinctly average restaurant, made to look better than it is with smoke and mirrors. Firstly the good things. Wonderfully warm welcome (however this is where the service level stopped) Love the dark moody decor, great selection of background music, ambient temperature perfect. Not so good things. We were a table of 6 friends, once seated it took 45 minutes to take our food order. Then a further 40 minutes for the first course to arrive. Every time we required a round of drinks, we literally had to wave a flag to get anyone's attention. Because we are not instagrammers or didn't have the flashes constantly going off on our phones, it seems like our business wasn't as important. They attended the tables of people taking selfies and wanting flashy firework drinks, but not those who were quite happy to simply order the extortionately priced mixer drinks. Food. Very very average. But served in the dark, on fancy plates, with a bowl of dry ice to make it seem like an experience. Not served particularly warm either. Shame.. but I feel they are all about the insta! Coming across nice and flashy, but ultimately they one thing that would make them stand out far more, is improving their service.

The most recent of many visits to this unique Asian restaurant. Superb food, the Nasala Doa is highly recommended.... I also had a Saag, and a spiced paneer starter. This place gets busy, and is quite small, so it's best to book ahead.

We really enjoy the experience of eating our, both service and the food. Both were excellent here. It was a Saturday night and we were not rushed. We have struggled to find many Indian restaurants locally where spicing is good, but this one hits the spot. Food is outstanding, well cooked and there was nothing to fault. A bonus is it is bring your own alcohol meaning we could enjoy some lovely wine with our dinner. Will we return - absolutely. This is one of two stand out Indian restaurants locally for us. Thanks for a great evening.

I've reviewed before but have to review again because it's just *that* good. I've been here about 5/6 times now for food, wouldn't go anywhere else now if we're after a curry. The food is unreal, tastes homemade - not like the generic sauces you get in every other Indian restaurant. Portion size is brilliant (do not order more than one portion of onion bahjji 🤣). They definitely don't scrimp on meat, the lamb is my favourite, always so tender! My kids absolutely love it here as well. Management and staff are always lovely, really friendly - I even got a compliment on how old I look so brownie points there ha! Would definitely recommend, little hidden gem in the middle of Sheldon, who'd have thought! Thanks staff again for another lovely dinner!

In lockdown obviously and usually go all the old favourites but waiting time ridiculous so tried mint & mustard can’t recommend enough so tasty and good portions will defo make this my 1st choice 👍🏻

very disappointed ordered a lamb curry was very small and had hardly any meat most of it was sauce i asked for tomatoes with salad they refused and said our salad does not have them i was amazed i never before seen this , they was only us in a what used to be a busy restaurant i will never go there again

You get meal deal during lunch hours. Omkar is very Friendly Guy he always suggest you meal deal. Value for money. Mumbai Taste😋

Visited a few weeks ago and ordered a “special” that had the consistency of water and tasted like a microwave meal. Worst curry I have ever had. Avoid.

The boxs' of curries available at the deli counter are only just the beginning. Very authenthic, very nicely spiced, and also some unsual ones, like chicken naga, which is very hot, but very tasty and good for the heat lovers. And at £5-7 its also a lot cheaper than sitting in a restaurant. The lentil dal is even cheaper. You could eat from here every day and not break the bank. Then there is the Deli counter, for daily curries, chaats (mixed indian snack box thing, you won't be dissapionted) You have a vegetarian section and a meat section, and the mix of things ensures you can have something made of vegetables like their fiery parnsips (cooked in a spicy sauce) or indulge with a pakora, of which they're are endless to choose from and all delicious. I asked if the dipping sauces were made fresh, and got the reply, 'everything is made from scratch up in the kitchen'. Have the mango chutney with a chicken pakora and you'll be back to try it all!

Enjoyed my visit tonight. I was introduced to my table and had my order took shortly after. I went for the 4 course special at 9.95 which is available Sun - Thursday. Had chicken Pakora for starter, lamb and mushroom balti with keema naan then 2 scoops of ice cream. You can also bring your own drinks. Will pay another visit in near future
