Indian Summer — Restaurant in Breckland District

Update Christmas Eve 2024 Back in Swaffham visiting family. Went to one of our favourite restaurants anywhere to get a takeaway. Very, very busy given it was Christmas Eve, but no problem , order taken and the customary Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. A perfect Eve of Christmas. Long may this restaurant prosper. It most certainly deserves to!!!!

Update March 2024. Back in Swaffham visiting family, back at Indian Summer for takeaway. Usual Cobra and red wine whilst waiting (part of the delight of the Indian Summer and our reason for not ordering online or by 'phone). The usual superb customer service and of course the superb food. Maybe we should convince them to open a "satellite restaurant" where we live in the far north of Scotland, we certainly need it. Would happily award more than 5 stars in all respects.

Update August 2023. Back visiting family and a trip to get our favourite takeaway. As usual a glass of Cobra and a glass of red wine whilst waiting. The manager and his staff are superb and have first rate customer service skills. You are made to feel to be THE most important people in the restaurant. Excellent food, excellent service, very good pricing and generous portions make a meal from Indian Summer most desirable. No hesitation in recommending FIVE STARS in EVERY respect. See you next time we are down here.

Update February 2023. Back in Swaffham, first point of call, what has become a favourite restaurant for a takeaway. Customary glass of Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. Wonderful, friendly reception, excellent service, fabulous food. Truly a 5* establishment.

Update December 2022. Back in the area again and headed to Indian Summer for a takeaway. Customary glass of Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. Excellent service and food. A great restaurant.

Update June 2022. Back in the area - went for a take away. Order placed, shown to a table to enjoy a superb pint of Cobra and a glass (large) of red wine to await our order. Made to feel that we were the most important customers in the restaurant. FIVE STAR SERVICE and when we got back to our relatives a FIVE STAR range of Indian dishes. Absolutely wonderful 🙂, how I wish we had a restaurant of this quality where we live in the far north of Scotland.

Original comment 2021. A wonderful evening enjoying the excellent food and excellent service. All in all, superb. Would definitely recommend. Will certainly be making another reservation when next...

I wish I could leave less than one star feedback. Yesterday, myself my mother and sister went for a curry after a very difficult time as it was my late fathers memorial service. We went to remember him by as this was something we always did. At first we were enjoying our starters and that was lovely. However by the time the main course came, it was awful. The curry portion was the size of the vegetable side dish, and not only that but it had at least 1” of oil on the top. I attempted to eat the curry, however found myself struggling as there was no aromatic flavours, I could only taste oil. I quietly told the manager, and he got very angry with me. After 5 minutes of him being unbelievably rude, he finally agreed to replace my curry. He shook his head and mumbled to himself as walking off with the dish. He told me I could only have 4 pieces of chicken as I had already eaten 2. When he brought the dish back it was the same dish, he had just drained the oil and mixed in something really sugary and creamy. Not how a curry should taste at all, after I specifically told him I didn’t want the replacement curry to be a creamy one. I couldn’t have the same dish that I had previously ordered as the manager told me that all the curry was pre-mixed so it was all oily. I also asked for no green peppers, and again he told me that I couldn’t have the meal altered as it was pre-made, just heated up. By the end of the meal we had a lot of left overs, so asked for some take away containers, the manager then got really aggressive again and almost shouting told us that we wouldn’t get a 20% discount if we did that and stormed off. His staff had to calm him down and sort him out, I feel very sorry for his employees. And to add to this, I then had food poisoning from the food and hadn’t been able to leave the...

I'm not going to be a complete Karen, however after ordering for collection

(this was once we realised the app wouldn't allow us to deliver... On seperate accounts etc etc)

I headed to collect my food 10 minutes early, mentioned the app failure etc, food was already ready early etc .. Headed home just round the corner litterally 2 minutes and the food was stone cold... The bottom of the curry trays were warm from an obvious warmer but other than that everything was cold and soaked in grease... Completely bland sag aloo, Lamp pathia wasn't bad but pretty standard. Chicken was super dry Onion bahjis were dry but super dry. Overally it was just rough and I found tin foil all inside my keema naan.. so I couldn't actually eat it.

I'm just abit unhappy, after spending £50 on an order for it to be like this. Ive also eaten near on a thousand curries I should imagine due to family background etc and this was the first ever Indian I didn't eat and just chucked away.

Sorry guys, decent service but that...
