“ We had a fabulous Goan Night. The food was delicious and service was great. We thoroughly enjoyed the Goan band that played good, ole favourite songs. Comes highly recommended from us. ”
“ First visit on a Tuesday for Dosa night. We were invited to watch the dosa being prepared - the pancake batter cooked on a hot plate plus the spicy potato with added coriander and ghee. The dosa were delicious, served with sambar, coconut chutney and tomato chutney. Then we tried aloo tikka chaat - potato pattie fried and served with a creamy, spicy sauce with chick peas. After those starters we tried the main menu. The food is WAY above regular Indian restaurant quality - extraordinarily tasty and not too expensive. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. ”
“ Amazing South Indian cuisine. The Venison was melt in the mouth and the Goan Fish was one of the best I’ve ever had.... If not the best. Prices were super reasonable and the staff were very friendly. A pleasure to meet the chef. Highly recommend this place. ”
“ Amazing place, lovely food and drinks. Authentic tasting Indian food. Kid friendly, staff very polite. Make sure to book as gets busy quickly! ”
“ It was our first time visiting Thyme & Chillis and it definitely won’t be our last. Both my parents and I all agreed that it was the best Indian food we’d had in the UK. It was fresh, so flavourful and not greasy at all. Really high quality. We recently went to the Michellin starred Jamavar in Mayfair and our food at Thyme & Chillis was so much better. ”
“ Fantastic experience dining for a family birthday. Incredibly attentive staff, fantastic menu (including a Tuesday street-food special) and we were invited to watch the chef create our dishes. Couldn’t recommend a better establishment - fantastic food, even better service, and felt genuinely welcomed throughout. Thank you to all servers and chefs! ”
“ Wow! This is what I call real Indian food! It is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. We are visitors to this town, and it was worth the long travel. Every single dish tasted so rich and well made with diverse flavours. They made my mum's birthday extra special, and she really enjoyed her chocolate cake at the end. THANK YOU! The staff were so hospitable and welcoming. Before going, I tried book the table over the phone, but the connection was bad. The staff made sure to keep calling me back to book and secure our table, which was so nice of them as they are a very busy restaurant. Me family had a wonderful experience. ”
“ Possibly the best Indian food I have experienced in the south of England. And the service is immaculate without being overbearing. Friendly and welcoming, it is a joy to be remembered each time we return. ”
