"Booked with Ali for a group meal as our post Christmas Do sports club. It was amazing. Great food and atmosphere. My favourites were the fish pakore, tender lamb bhuna and chicken makani. Service super. Agreed on a set price and we got an amazing menu for the price. Will definitely be back with an even bigger crowd soon. Thank you Ali and your staff."

"A visit to this particular restaurant was planned after a couple of company outings and recommendations were made. A little expensive by comparison but the food is very good. All the dishes offered are a little hotter than most Indian restaurants I've been too, even a chicken tikka masala has a kick to it. Excellent service, very accommodating. It was a very good dining experience overall. Plenty of parking to the rear of the restaurant. Highly recommend a visit to this establishment. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"I had an amazing evening dining at Chefs of India. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Everything in this restaurant is pure perfection. I also had the pleasure of having a tour of the kitchen (I know right lucky me) it was a great experience seeing where all the magic happens. I had a very fruitful conversation with the head chef, you can tell he's very passionate about his job lol I highly recommend 10/10"

"It has become apparent to me that there are patterns to restaurants. For me, all Chinese restaurants and takeaways taste the same. No matter the price. Then the same is with Indian restaurants. Most are just rubbish, but some do the cuisine justice. There is no middle ground. This restaurant I am proud to say is an absolute gem. The meal was fantastic. The staff are welcoming, warm and friendly. They attend to you with effortless efficiency, in a friendly manner. The table linen is crisp and clean, and the chairs comfortable. The walls seem to tend some tlc, as they do seem to have some splatter on them. But that's the only con I can think of. The food was brought out warm and tasty. Every mouthful were a delight and wonderful experience of taste. Very well done. Unfortunately I am not local, but at least I now have a restaurant that I can use to compare all others."
