Indian Ocean — Restaurant in England

I visited the Indian Ocean last night with my grown up son, it’s been around 13 years since I was last there, having left the area, although I didn’t move too far away. I’d been coming here for around 12 years until I moved away. I used to frequent the Indian Ocean regularly and always loved the food, company and the cosy atmosphere. Sometime I’d come on my own, or with my then 8 year old son or a friend, the food was always consistently top notch.

Last night we had Popadoms, Seekh Kebab and Chicken Tikka starters, a Chicken Dansak, Lamb Madras, Kema Nan and Rice. The food was rich and tasty, the meat, succulent and juicy, and if you want a hot and spicy dish, that's what you get, no half measures or lame spiciness, hot is hot. The Madras was a dark rich sauce which looked as hot as it tasted and as a Madras should be 🔥 The Dansak was sweet and sour with a good level of heat and flavour, this is one of my favourite dishes and it didn’t disappoint.

I don’t want to bang on about other Indian restaurants, but from my own personal experience, I have found over the years, the standard seems to have dropped dramatically, I have searched high and low for excellent Indian food in the Milton Keynes and surrounding areas but disappointingly found only average and on the rare occasion maybe ‘good’, but then you return and it’s not so good. However, I am pleased to report, this is not the case here, it was a nostalgic visit and a blast from my past, remembering that period in my life, the good times, some highs and lows, over some great food and conversation, a reminder that some things change over time but 13 years later the food here is still as good as I remember it.

It was amazing catching up with Raj, the owner after all these years, time flies but great memories remain. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. I highly recommend the Indian Ocean, and it can...

We started coming here after my Father in Law brought us, only a few months ago and fell in love with the fantastic food, lovely owner and equally lovely Daughter who is there a couple/few nights a week. It's not a huge place but big enough for our group of 10 that visit, with others dining at the same time. We find the food is spot on every time and always leave nursing our "food babies"! (Ie full tummies). Some of the reviews on here mention small portions? Not sure where they usually eat but I am a confirmed foodie that loves a decent sized plate of food and have not been disappointed with any of my meals. As for rude staff, again, not sure what they are used to but I despise rudeness and bad manners and have always been treated by the people there in a friendly, courteous and professional manner. If you want a decent Indian meal, this should be top of your list. Oh and ask what they recommend from the menu - I did and I discovered a couple of meals I'd never heard of but are nothing short of...

I recently dined at The Indian Ocean in Leighton Buzzard, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel like valued guests. Their hospitality was second to none, with every detail meticulously attended to.

The food was the star of the show. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with rich, aromatic flavors. We started with perfectly spiced samosas and melt-in-your-mouth paneer tikka. For mains, the butter chicken and lamb rogan josh were tender and cooked to perfection, with sauces that left us craving more. The naan bread was light and fluffy, and the basmati rice was fragrant and tasty! .

The Indian Ocean is a true gem, offering outstanding food and a dining experience that is second to none. I cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to my next visit. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or new to its wonders, The Indian Ocean is...
