“ This was our first UK Indian meal and it did not disappoint, everything was very tasty. The tikka Marsala is very different fe Canada - it’s much sweeter and it took me a little bit to get used to it but it’s very good! ”
“ This place offers authentic Indian and Bengali cuisine in the middle of English countryside town -- Stow-on-the-wold. Popular among the locals and the tourists, the restaurant is extremely busy even during the week nights. The servers are extremely attentive and give you enough time to enjoy the meal and the pleasure of your company. We ordered Mackarel fish curry, tomato bhorta, daal, chicken makhni, saag panir, plain rice, and garlic cheese naan. Except for the tomato bhorta, every single item we ordered was exceptionally good. For desserts, we shared a pistachio kulfi which is very similar to a gelato. We take our Bengali/Indian food very seriously and we were thoroughly impressed by the quality and presentation of the the food along with the hospitality of the servers. I'd highly recommend this place if you're around Cotswold and looking to eat at a great Indian/Bengali restaurant. ”

“ Our family enjoyed a delicious authentic meal. We're grateful for the attentive service and tasty meal from an extensive menu with lots of options to choose from. A very highlights - the naan came out piping hot and fresh. The Tawa, Shatkora, and Pasanda main dishes were all flavorful and well prepared. Highly recommend and would happily return. ”
“ We mainly order to take away and have been doing so for years! My partner and I aren't the most adventurous so we tend to stick to the same order, I don't know how many tikka masala's I've had by now, they've all been just as good as the last - never fail to look forward to it. Prince of India's tikka masala and naan is my favourite around, I'm always sure to recommend PoI to anyone visiting locally! I love the decor and vibe when eating in - plus, the naan is simply amazing when it comes straight out of the tandoor. The team are brilliant, friendly and accommodating, I can't ask for more. ”
