India House — Restaurant in Ashford

My friends heard so much about this place from my friends !!, so wanted try , 3 of us ate starters and main dishes, and a 4th person joined us for the dessert. Upon arrival the staff greeted us with smiling faces which is a plus, The place looked cozy and plush, with comfortable seating for large gatherings for Birthdays etc. The ambiance was very clean and pleasant. The music was perfect. FOOD was excellent but try to abstain from eating the fabulous starter and papadum otherwise there is no room for the rest. Ordered the the Amazing WORLDBEST alu nimki don’t be shy to ask and add some lemony tang to it, chatphat, the freshest drumsticks I ever had , the panipuri is the closest to what i can find back home. The mains I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan and the Signature dish sadeko momo and the mixed chowmien with my homemade spicy sauce by my friends. All dishes excellent. Happy to see the staff singing to several tables "Happy Birthday". I loved the happy and hearty service by India House, such a warm place to go.Great experience and will...

I have been a regular customer of india house now since 2012 and i can honestly say the food is amazing, very well presented and what makes it even more special is the people and the service... in this time i and my friends have never experienced any bad service, low quality food or anything else you'd come to expect in a very competative local cuisine and market... you will never feel you pay too much as with other restaurants for the value and quantity of food you will receive...they are also rated by a Mitchelin star chef and there simply cannot be any dissapointment... unless you are not use to indian/nepalese food... what makes the chefs extraordinary special is that they do not just specialise in nepalese or indian food, they are true specialists... even more so is the fact that you can ask them about certain specialities or to adjust the food according to your liking... India House is without any question or any doubt in my mind very highly recommended! Please do go and try them and enjoy the food! Its is amazing and is served...

Its the sort of place you expect if you're on holiday and don't care if it's not very good... But I'm not on holiday and I'm quite disappointed given the reviews- Hope they're real!

Lamb tikka (no salad or side sauce with it) - Dry, covered in their blended onions and unlikely to have seen the inside of a tandor either. Poor meat, fatty and lost flavour due to frozen for too long (fact).

Curry is just a fail. So many undercooked tiny pieces of onion and herbs, raw tomato puree too, that repeats on you along with the raw bitterness of garlic, again not cooked properly or with care - sauces aren't cooked on a high enough heat in my view, so the the spices aren't toasted properly before they add anything else. My advice.... If you're expecting classic, tandor cooked meats and curry sauces that are well practised, head elsewhere - I cannot speak for the Nepal side of the menu, didn't try it. But they clearly don't care about what we were served. They won't care about complaints either, because they'll drown them out with more...
