Also,forgot to ask for mint sauce which i was gutted about and when i got home there was free poppodoms, mint sauce and chutney! I almost cried! thanks again guys 10/10

We stopped at this restaurant on our way back home after a long day at the farm. The restaurant was nice, but the food was disappointing. All the dishes we ordered were topped with a lemon and tasted bland and inauthentic. I have never been to an Indian restaurant where the paneer wasn't actually paneer! When my 2-year-old niece accidentally spilled her milkshake, no one offered to replace it or even asked if we wanted another one. They simply cleaned up the mess and left us to continue our meal. It felt like the restaurant wasn't catering to Indian tastes, but rather was more popular with non-Indian customers.

After attending a show in town, my husband and I visited an Indian restaurant in Stratford for dinner. Despite the packed restaurant, we were accommodated right away. This was our first time at the restaurant, but we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The service was excellent, with our drinks arriving quickly. My husband enjoyed the Indian lager, and we were impressed with the fresh Poppadums served with chutney and pickles. Our starters were delicious and arrived promptly. The main course was the highlight of the meal - the best Indian meal we've had in a restaurant. The staff were busy but attentive, providing great service throughout our meal. The bill was surprisingly affordable, making our experience even better. The restaurant had a pleasant and modern decor, and we found the seats to be very comfortable. We highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return in the future. Thank you Indian Ocean for a fantastic end to our day out.

The service at this restaurant was excellent. We ordered a takeaway meal for a group of friends, which included a vegan/gluten-free guest. The staff were very accommodating in preparing dishes that met our dietary restrictions. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service at the restaurant for pick-up was very courteous and helpful. When there was a mistake with one of the dishes in our order, they not only included the correct item but also the mistake at no extra charge. I would highly recommend this place!

The food was delicious and the service second to none. It was New Years Eve and very busy but the waiters were so obliging friendly and helpful. At 12 o’clock bottles of Prosecco were placed on everyone’s table at no extra cost and everyone got up to welcome the new year. They did not charge a New Years Eve price just their normal prices which weren’t overpriced. Would definitely recommend and would go there again.
