I love the curry's ๐๐ at Dower House!
I visited on a Thursday night recently, a small group of 3, around 18:45, there were a few tables available and it filled up towards 8pm.
I booked online ๐ป and it took 24 hours before they replied. So I'd say if you wanted to make sure you're booked in contact the restaurant and book ๐.
You enter through the side door ๐ชand arrive at a check in desk, if nobody is there continue through and left onto the bar and they'll seat you from there.
A nice pint of kingfisher ๐บ
We had a couple of poppadoms each and a pickle tray, it was all really fresh and the lime pickle was easily the best I've had in ages! ๐ฏ
I had Chicken Dansak for main, a nice sweet curry ๐ ๐ and some pilau rice and a garlic chapati (not on the menu but they were happy to make it - it was really garlicky ๐ง๐ง๐ง ๐คฉ) It all tasted great ๐
We all had a starter and a main, + 1 garlic naan, 1 rice ๐ 1 chapati - 2 pints 1 pint of coke and we had white coffees โ to finish. It came to just over ยฃ100 which I felt was reasonable for the quality and service.
The place was clean and tidy and the staff were all friendly ๐ช๐๐คฉ
My photos didn't come out very well, I only managed the starter! Pakora photo, which tasted great.
I can't wait to go...

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Dower House last Friday evening, and it was an experience worth every accolade. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional culinary journey.
The menu was a vibrant celebration of classic Indian cuisine, offering a diverse selection of dishes that catered to both traditional and contemporary tastes. Each dish we ordered was a masterpiece, bursting with rich, authentic flavors that left us craving more. The spices were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a testament to the chef's mastery.

ย ย ย Read moreI haven't been to this restaurant for a long time and that will be the case again!! We had booked for 4 people at 7.30. I got greeted by a rude gentleman who just basically sat us in a waiting corner and left us there. It was 30mins before we got offered a drink and a full 50 mins before taken to a table after I asked what was going on.
When being served we noticed the waiter was more friendly with a regular group and was amazed to see them turn up 30mins after us, sit down 10mi s after us and still get their starters before us. All the way through I was on edge as I believed we had done something to offend. It was the first night out with friends where I was still sober inthe taxi on the way home.
Strangely as we was finishing the waiter was oddly smiley and pleasant but that soon changed again when he didn't receive a tip for service ๐คฃ
The food was good but over priced. I do not mind paying more when the service is quality but I feel I wouldve had auch better evening in Lancers or over the road at China Rose where the service is always top notch.
A completely ruined evening and I will not...
