Deepam South Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Cheltenham

Excellent value for their freshly cooked and served Thali treat.

The Mrs had chicken and I had the tilapia version. It can be 15-20 wait before this is served but we’ll worth it. It may help to order in advance if one is in a hurry. And oh, there was enough on each serving for two and enough of each bit of South Indian side dishes with the obligatory rasam to clear one’s sinuses , warm the body on a cold December midday. We shared the payasam but brought one of the platters back for later. A largely understated place decor wise but you won’t be disappointed in the quality of proper South Indian food from these Kerala people who happened to have owned the original HillTop restaurant in Gloucester. Excellent hosts too.

Give them a try. You won’t be...

Used to love this place. Went in tonight, place was very quiet. People before us left a lot of their food on the plates and when they were leaving gave me the look that food was not good. Food was realy not nice, portions super super small. Like chutney, literally 2 teaspoons in a tub. Nan bread was undercooked sprinkled with cheese that wasnt even melted. It was cold. Rice tasted old and stale. No flavour whatsoever. I am sat at home now, feeling sick. Feel like I'm gonna throw up. Absolutely never again. And do not recommend this place. I feel like we were given leftovers from other people plates, it was that bad. I never leave reviews, but I felt like I had to tonight. Would not eat their food even for free now. Awful awful...

Alhamdulillah. We're informed that the food served is halal as they buy their meat and chicken supplies from halal meat supplier. We bought one mutton briyani and one chicken briyani (take away). Delicious and spicy, just the way we like it. One of the best tasted food we have eaten during our trip to the UK this week. Highly recommended. Would love to eat there again. Location is close to Citrus Hotel where we stay for the night, within walking distance...
