Big Ben Indian-Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Silves

The BEST Indian restaurant in Algarve, don't get me wrong, I'm a local and I have some experience with Indian restaurants in the region. But the food here is divine, it's fresh, refreshing and the perfect amount of spiciness.

First things first, the Italian side of the menu has a good variety, but the flavour of the cheese and the softness of the dough makes the pizza they serve a perfect course for the less adventurous or the kids. For the spice lovers or the people looking for a marvellous and delicious experience with Indian food, this restaurant goes above and beyond with their variety of dishes and the vegetarian options are on point, the food can be spicy, refreshing, light and delicious. Even the ones who tried authentic food in India will recognize the delightful flavours of such dishes in the plates served in this restaurant, some friend of mine pointed. Not to forget the ones looking for some drinks, including me, the cocktails are purely delicious.

The prices are proportional and reasonable, even cheaper than other restaurants. The service is good, friendly and respectful, a wonderful environment overall, a great experience with wonderful food, friendly service and a great environment without being too costly.

Concluding, this restaurant is a must-go if you're in the region and crave the best Indian food the...

My wife had a paneer and spinach curry, raita and a paratha - again all really good, the curry was really well balanced and was cooked with care - paratha lovely and not oily. The boys both went for pizza and both thoroughly enjoyed them.

Great find and I’m glad we dropped in. Vegetarian options are a bit thin on the ground in this town so it was nice to go somewhere with plenty of choice for my...

The new kid on the block, showing the long established restaurants in town how it should be done. Although the service was a little patchy, the quality of the food was excellent. Not the usual style of cooking we get in the UK, much more flavourful and subtly spiced. If you are a Brit who enjoys a hot curry and a few pints on a Friday night, this place is probably not for you. But if you enjoy a lighter style where all the flavours shine through, then you will find it perfect. Oddly, they also do pizzas and pasta dishes (which we didn't try) but it probably makes the restaurant more...
