This was our first visit, Cook’s Castle went straight to the top of our Favourite Indian Restaurant list. There’s a wide variety of dishes on the menu, many with a choice of mild/medium/hot. The large samosas were full of tasty vegetable filling encased in a lovely short pastry. The generous serves of our lamb vegetable mains were both beautifully prepared, nicely presented most importantly, all dishes we chose were delicious. The chef certainly knows what he's about. We especially loved the light and fluffy Peshwari Naan with our mains, and on our next visit, we’re looking forward to trying it with Masala tea as a desert which was suggested by the waitress. Looking forward to trying more of this lovely food.
I visited Cook's Castle tonight with my dad and partner, and we were incredibly pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere! The kind server answered all our questions about ingredients and checked with the chef to ensure our vegan needs were met. Every dish was perfect and we couldn't find fault with anything. Cook's Castle is now my favorite restaurant, and their Dal Makhani (minus the butter) is now my favorite dish of all time! I highly recommend visiting this gem without hesitation. I am looking forward to coming back soon!
I went here tonight with my boyfriend and what an amazing place! The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Highly recommend.
This is the best Indian restaurant we have visited in the West. The food was incredible and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.
