Bombay Brothers Indian Restaurant - (Near Berkshire, South East)

JackJackJack ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a fantastic experience at Harvester Horse & Groom and it completely saved our evening after a very disappointing meal at Village Hotel Bracknell. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. We’d booked a table and were taken to a lovely, cosy corner which was perfect for our family. Our server, Sophie, was absolutely superb, attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, efficient, and so helpful. She took the time to explain the kids’ options (including off-menu choices) and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. She is an absolute credit to the team. The kids’ meals were fantastic value for money and really generous portions. I had the tandoori chicken skewer with red peppers, onion, flatbread and jalapeño tzatziki, with sage and onion fries, honestly delicious. And the salad bar… wow. Every main comes with free, refillable salad bowls, and this is no sad plate of lettuce. There’s lettuce, yes, but also olives, bread rolls, pasta salad, potato salad, rocket, coleslaw, olive oil, balsamic, everything was fresh and full of flavour. We even got 25% off through the app, which made it even better value. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, great food, brilliant service, and a really cosy, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

The Foodie Compass An absolutely brilliant meal at Chilis South Indian & Asian Restaurant on Kings Walk in Reading. If you are a fan of authentic spicing, this place is a total gem. It is one of those spots that feels like a real find, tucked away on the first floor of The Village with a warm, bustling atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcome. Excellent variety on the Indo-Chinese menu, which is a fantastic addition to the more traditional South Indian fare. I usually go for the Gobi Manchurian, but this time I opted for the Chicken Manchurian. The flavours were spot on, tangy, spicy, and deeply savoury. My only tiny bit of constructive feedback would be the texture of the chicken. I was expecting it to be batter fried before being tossed in that sauce to give it a bit of crunch, and I think using thigh meat rather than breast would have made it even more succulent. That said, it was still a very tasty starter that disappeared quickly. The absolute star of the show for me was the Mutton Fry. It was sensational and exactly how I hoped it would be, cooked down until the meat was tender and the spices had intensified into a rich, concentrated coating. It was bursting with flavour and easily the best dish of the night. We also went for the Lamb Biryani, which was another high point. I loved that the aromats and spices were beautifully layered rather than just stirred together. I did find myself wishing for a few more South Indian breads like appams or hoppers to mop up the mutton fry, though I completely understand they are a bit of a logistical challenge to prepare fresh to order. However, the quality of the cooking we did have was top notch. The service was impeccable throughout our visit. The staff were incredibly kind and pleasant, with genuine smiles all around that made the evening feel special. When you consider the generous portion sizes and the high standard of the food, it represents excellent value for money. Whether you are a hardcore foodie or just looking for a solid curry, Id highlyrecommend Chilis.

Karthikeya Sharma We were recommended of this place for Nepali food. 4 of us visited for lunch and we were not disappointed! We ordered Veg steamed Momo and Veg Chilli Momo, Waiwai Sadheko, Sel set, Puri Tarkari, Veg fried rice and Dhido Thali. The food was delicious, home cooked style and reasonably priced. For us the Dhido Thali was a surprise find as its a close match to Ragi Mudde of Karnataka. Highly recommend this to anyone missing the Mudde in UK! Will definitely visit again

Chïlö One of my other favourite restaurants in Reading because I can’t seem to find anywhere else that has the most delicious risotto for me ☺️ thank you Miles my server today.

Elouise A brilliant evening out! The food was impeccable, from the presentation to the taste of each course. The staff are friendly and there’s a welcoming atmosphere. It’s got plenty of areas for photo opportunities with staff willing to take photos for you! There was live music which was a lovely addition to the meal we had. We will definitely be heading back soon!

Edward Baker We had a fantastic dining experience, especially the steak tartare and chateaubriand, which were both excellent. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxing, and my family had a truly enjoyable evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to return. We will certainly continue recommending you to our friends.
