We've been going here for a long time and we've never been disappointed in any of the dishes served. The servings are generous, flavour and use of spices is perfect and the meat is always tender. Whether it's dining in or a phone order the service has been friendly and quick. They must be popular as the amount of delivery drivers picking up orders in incredible. Dave

This place serves some of the best Indian food around—authentic, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The spices are perfectly balanced, letting the rich flavors shine without being too heavy. The creamy curries are a must-try, and the freshly baked naan is soft, warm, and perfect for dipping. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this spot won’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be back soon.

I've been away for a couple of years but Indian Appetite is still making excellent dishes. Rich, authentic flavours, whole food ingredients and not full of flavour substitutes. So if you like clean (no msg etc.), flavoursome Indian, this is the place.

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience! My recent visit to Indian Appetite was an absolute delight from start to finish. The restaurant itself is beautifully maintained—tables were impeccably clean, and the entire place had a wonderful atmosphere of tidiness and warmth. The true star of the evening, however, was the food. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Sagar in person, and his passion for his craft is undeniable. He is not just a cook; he is a truly skilled artist. Every dish we ordered was bursting with authentic flavor and complexity. You can taste the expertise and care in every bite. It's rare to find a place where the ambiance, cleanliness, and culinary skill are all in perfect harmony. Thank you, Chef Sagar and the team at Indian Appetite, for a fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be back!
