Eating in was brilliant a few years ago. Everything you wanted. Takeaways we're just as good, but lately standards have dropped and I feel I have to say my piece. As a loyal customer who rated this place as the best around Newbury and spent my hard earned money trusting a restaurant and chef who knew their food, today was the last straw. You have had my business for years and when my address popped up on your order sheet I expect no less than what I've paid for over the years. I ordered a lamb jalfrezi. It arrived. It said lamb lafrezi on the tin. I opened, and it was chicken. I gave the benefit of doubt, maybe ur busy. But on a wednsday? I opened and only 3 bits of meat. Sorry to say, you have lost my custom. And if your chefs want to know how to cook it properly visit my curry channel nordic spice on youtube and I will happily come their and give a lesson.

Read moreReally lovely evening dinner! My hubs and my first visit. We popped in on the spur of the moment whilst we were waiting for our kids who were at a local club.
The staff were so warm and welcoming when we arrived. We got served really quickly and the papadum starters with sauces were out in a couple of minutes. The mango chutney was delicious!
For mains we had a tandoori lamb tikka (lamb with a really tasty rub cooked over charcoal), chicken curry, rice and naan bread. The lamb had such a lovely depth of flavour and was really tender and came with perfectly caramelised onions. The chicken curry sauce was moreish and perfect for naan dipping.
Extra little nod to the small things like lovingly folded napkins, heated handwipes at the end of the meal and refreshingly cold dinner mints when the bill came were really thoughtful touches.
Will be back and definitely recommend a visit and you'll be supporting a lovely local...
Read moreGreat food and menu inspired me to get out of my normal starter and either Madras or Dansak maon course rut and so I tried something different from their speciality menu tonight. It wasn't as hot as a my normal Madras but the intensity was more in the flavour than the heat. I'm not into Onion Bhajis myself, too many greasy ones in the past, but I had a taste of my Wife's and it was really really good.
Portions sizes were perfect as was the service.
A great choice of many cuisines in Newbury and glad to say Indigo Bay is one of the best when it comes to Indian style food with value.
The Decor is simple and not over chintzy, some may find it too plain but who cares when the food and service are...
