Our first time here. It's an unpretentious little restaurant that seems to be very popular with the locals. I also suggest that a Friday / Saturday night curry is generally not a 'thing' with tourists. On our Friday night there was only one unoccupied table when we left, and I noticed about 4 or 5 walk-ins booking tables for the Saturday. The night was great, Ahmed, one of the front of house guys is a character, he was excellent and even made the guys pose for a photo he noticed me taking a pic of the food, he is very friendly, knew his menu, and engaged with everyone. The dining room is a bit rough around the edges but it is clean with a "Good" food hygiene rating. We found nothing wrong with the food, we really enjoyed the dips with the poppadoms and the sheekh kebab was one of the best we have had in a long time. The main courses too were very good, this is personal preference of course. The chicken in the wife's bhuna was a fraction dry but my chicken tikka was excellent which I find is common trait in very busy restaurants. The sides of rice and fries were OK, but the fluffy and very tasty naan bread really did stand out. Surprisingly for a Bangladeshi restaurant the Cobra and house Merlot were extremely good. The service and timing was spot on, attentive, extremely friendly but not intrusive. It's been here for over 25 years and extremely popular so regardless of what anyone thinks they are obviously doing something right. Yes it is a bit pricey compared to some but it is Stratford, plus Covid broke many places and you really wouldn't want to be paying their gas bill.
Absolutely insanely good food, Simple but very tasty. Friendly staff, friendly place. Makes you feel like endorphins are swimming out of your forehead After a taste of the delicious food and kind hearts of a welcoming family diner’s place or perhaps a date. Escape your palate here for a new world of adventure within your body
Absolutely incredible food. One of the best curries I’ve had in a long time. Vibrant and delicious with soft, fluffy perfectly baked naan bread. The alcohol free cobra was something new I wanted to try for the first time and was delicious. If I could rate 6 stars I would! Spot on guys, keep up the good work
Fantastic place, best Indian food in Stratford. Lovely family vibes, we are regulars and would recommend to all. Very popular place, would suggest booking in advance if you don’t want to miss out on some delicious cuisine.
Stratford Upon Avon , arrived and I have to say I was underwhelmed. I was expecting a bit more. I dont know why but the place , although steeped in history , just doesn't flow in the same way as other places of the same calibre do . So after an underwhelming start, in an underwhelming hotel we decided to go out for a meal . I must add , at this point re the underwhelmingness , if there exists such a term and if not I copyright that phrase , the busker playing the guitar at the waterfront as the sun set was an immaculate moment , the kind that sears into the mind . The sound , the light, the surroundings , all seamlessly blend into One another which you are one with , nothing separate , all the dots connect and you realise you are the Whole , enough of this wiseacre and back to the tale at hand Rang and organised a walk in and the staff seemed friendly on the phone , so I thought let's give it a shot , Hiding my apprehension from the other half as I am used to some super fine dining out curry experiences , originating from the north west of England. Walked through the door and by the authentic bollywood tune playing in the background I knew straight away that these boys weren't hiding from their roots and sucking up to the "bon ton" types - and they meant business. Monday night , restaurant packed good sign. Bollywood music , good sign and now the secret of the secrets, I always judge an indian restaurant by how good the poppadoms are . I ordered a full meal from starters to mains and sides and didn't include the poppadoms, at this point , I hasten to add, I was in a very giggly state , which we shan't go into , why ? The Wifey , who I have to admit has magic in her slender fingers when it comes to cooking ordered the poppadoms. I thought it was my day off but I was wrong , I had to work for this piece of merriment . Quiet simply, the poppadoms were beautiful. Crispy, not oily , fresh and that certain snap you can only get with quality poppadoms. Yes , the accompaniments , the usual fare of onion salad, mango chutney , mint yogurt thing , glow in the dark red thing could have been polished a bit more BUT the poppadoms were a law unto themselves , requiring nothing else to steal the thunder . Good start The starter. Wifey was underwhelmed . Her emotional output was underwhelming especially from my vantage - ahem , so I order a prawn puri spice and with a hit of lemon , wifey decided to share. I knew it would be good and I knew she wouldn't be disappointed. Boy was I on the money. The puri was light , not oily and beautiful to eat . Add the prawns which had a hint of lemon, raw little pieces of raw mango and tamarind with a dash of hot spices was like having all the sprinklers in your mouth , that make the mouth water, turn on all at the same time and during a hose pipe ban , as was the impression of stratford upon avon , it certainly was getting down into the roots and I felt myself start to feel nourished . Game on Then came the mains . Tarka dal , garlic chilli chicken, chips , garlic naan. When visiting a new restaurant , we always opt for the tried and tested. A way to fall back on a sense of familiar comparison, we shan't dissect this any further because I could write a full volume of a psychological thesis and we aren't here for that . We are here to salivate and get the essential.juices flowing , and ultimately leading to a waterfall that bombs down into the sea of tranquil witn its comforting foam and gentle rocking as the river and the sea meet Only downer is that the garlic chilli chicken was a bit too sweet , other than that ... the chips, immaculate . The tarka daal , subtle yet packed a punch , like being punched by a beautiful hand in a velvet glove in the kanckers , each to their own I say . The rice that accompanied the chicken was cooked up by a Master , it had - and I kid you not , little slivers of just about caramelised ginger. Good Lord one hit and you felt as if you just had a ginger nut biscuit , YES Now the crowning glory. The garlic naan . Ran out of characters at
I don't like leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately this was an unpleasant experience for me. I'm ceoliac and after reading a great review from someone else who was ceoliac, we booked to eat here. It was heaving, good sign. I checked everything I was ordering didn't contain gluten, no cross contamination. But it was very busy, loud, and I didn't feel very reassured to be honest. When the curry arrived, although I only ordered chicken, it looked like tikka meat. I had already stated at ordering that I couldn't eat the tikka starter, due to cross contamination in the tandoor oven with the nan breads. I didn't eat much of it for fear of being glutened. And I knew within 5 minutes when the bloating came that I had. But 2 hours later I was horrendously ill, vomitting etc which is an extreme reaction for me. I did email them explaining what had happened and asked them to educate their staff so nobody has to go through this ordeal in the future. They replied and were very apologetic, that it had never happened before and advised they have spoken to all of thier staff regarding the matter, and in fact he has a young son who has a gluten allergy. Therefore they are and should be aware of the seriousness, and I hope now the correct measures are in place to prevent this unfortunate incident occurring again and that this was a one off. But if you are ceoliac, I would be very careful. I would suggest to the restaurant that when someone has dietary requirements, they are dedicated one server who is fully aware of all the allergens and cross contamination risks.
Absolutely excellent customer service and a delicious meal cooked to perfection. I asked for the chicken korma to be sweet and it was the best ever. The chefs special was so tasty. . The driver who delivered was kind and dressed very smart. This is the best place to have an Indian meal in Stratford-upon-Avon. Highly recommend.
Came to the restaurant on a busy Saturday night at 7 pm. They managed to squeeze us in. Very friendly we had the Raj dinner for two with a bottle of Prosecco The food was excellent. The flavours were excellent. The whole set meal was the perfect balance without worrying about what to order from the menu. The staff were very very friendly, even though they were busy We would return if we came back to Stratford-upon-Avon
The best indian restaurant i’ve ever been to. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Always takes really good care of their customers, especially ahmed! Could not recommend more.
Brilliant service and amazing food. Ahmed was an amazing waiter and couldn’t be happier during our stay in Stratford! Couldn’t recommend more. :
