The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour! The staff were friendly, approachable, and made the dining experience very pleasant. Portion sizes were generous and definitely worth the price. For a new place, they’re doing an excellent job — great service, great food, and great value. Highly recommend giving them a try!
Went with my girlfriend for a treat before my birthday. We ordered the seekh kabab, house chicken curry and palak paneer with rice and naan. The seekh kebab had great texture, served with a great sauce. The curries were delicious, the chicken one especially, being very tender. The naan was freshly made with a crispy exterior and fluffy inside. And generous rice portions which I’m a big fan of. As well as the food we loved the mango lassi. My girlfriend ordered a second she’d enjoyed it so much. Our server was very kind and friendly, helping move two of the smaller tables together to give us more eating space. The decor is light and comfortable. A good balance of cosy and elegant. Will definitely be going back some time soon!
The food was authentic and delicious! We tried the Samosa Chat and Tandoori prawns with fish curry and Chana Masala Curry! Everything was lovely! A great local addition….we will be back!
We just booked a table for 9 PM but somehow we managed to reach there by 9.30 PM & all the staff members were so polite and respectful they welcomed us and served the best food. Trust me I found the authentic Indian flavors after Soo long here at Kesar the Indian Restaurant. Thank You So Much Guys.
Popped in for a quick drink whilst I waited for my train. Really friendly, family run restaurant. I had a couple of pints of Cobra and they quickly made me some popcorn chicken before I had to leave for my train. The menu looked really good with a great selection and I will make sure I go back for a full meal. Lovely people, great decor and a nice feel to the place 👍🏻
