Really disappointed they refused to let us use our Barclays reward discount even though terms and conditions were met. Meal was for sons birthday so everyone extremely disappointed. Won’t ever go there again!
Grate night food was fabulous good atmosphere staff were very helpful and plight thanks for a lovely time . . . . . . .
Great flavour combinations with warm and friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy we weren't rushed and it wasn't too loud either in spite of the Christmas party!
Friendly and quick service; quality of meals up to the usual high standard. Plenty of space around our table for a quiet and relaxing meal on a Sunday evening.
Excellent lunchtime meal, good value, good service . We come here on a regular basis it's that good. Highly recommended for either lunchtime or evening meal.
Five Rivers offer an excellent choice of Rubys, that will satisfy everyone from the timid to the seasoned currymeister. The ambiance is pleasant and the prices and hospitality are excellent.
The food was excellent as usual. Our favourite Indian restaurant. Service good despite the restaurant being extremely busy with several large parties. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely atmosphere, staff very polite and attentive, the food was absolutely amazing, so full of flavour, spice that doesn't just burn your mouth out and leave you with that horrible taste in your mouth later. Good size portions as well. Our first time visiting but booked again on the night for our next visit; can't wait!
Nice chicken and vegetarian spinach curries but don't recommend prawn curry at all. Extremely sweet and chewy. Helpful staff even though they start laying the tables very loudly at the end of the meal. Time to go home!
Food EXCELLENT , poor service ,we hadn't sat down and our popdoms were on the table no menu for us to look at to see the ingredients in main course four different waiters came to sever us at different times , we had to ask for our drinks , They were not happy in there work . And brought us our bill before we had asked for it, more or less here's you bill now go . We have been before and recommended The five rivers to our friends because we had excellent service 6 months ago .
It was the most terrible experience. It was a treat from me to my father & nephew who were visiting us from India. The service was very bad, food was not great. I ordered two starters: Non veg platter and Fish amritsari. Chicken was hard, fish was not great. There were no sauce to go with the starters which was priced high. The waiters & the server took almost 15-20 mins in the beginning to come and take order. For the starters they took more than half hour to be served. The order taken for mains were late as well it took them around 30-45 mins to serve. Poppadoms were not served. Mains -chicken dish had to be returned as it was not palatable & had to be returned. We ordered Prawns Gassi a speciality from mangalore as clearly mentioned in the menu, being mangalorean I can confirm it was not even close to any Gassi dish. All the mains for some reason was sour. Plates were not cleared on time. When asked, the answer was bear with us we are busy. The bill had both chicken and poppadoms which we had to return to amend and send revise bill. I won't be going back again. It was a total put off show.
Excellent meal and service. Catered for my Gluten and Dairy intolerance and was fabulous. There were 10 of us and all enjoyed the food. I will definitely be returning very soon
I visited at lunchtime and wasn’t too keen on the set menu. Good value but I’d have rather had more choice. The food was ok but nothing great.
Overall very good. Bit noisy but in a full restaurant inc a birthday party that’s to be expected and sitting away from main hubbub didn’t detract from the experience. No sauces or salad with mixed platter starters: had to request the raita etc to be provided. Bit mean with king prawns in main dish ( only 4). Made all the worse by the dish ( king prawn gassi) being so tasty. Overall standard of food very good and a pretty good evening all round. Hadn’t been their for some years but will visit again soon .
The restaurant seems slightly too dark. The food and service was ok.
Great food but half poppadums and naans, good service on a busy Saturday evening. Dessert menu limited but overall lovely experience, attentive staff with attractive decor.
Warm and friendly good quality food with good service clean and tidy The portion sizes Werejust right did not have to wait too long to be served.
Excellent service, lively atmosphere and tasty well presented food. Enjoyed different flavours of the curries and delicious starters. Would definitely recommend for a fab dining experience.
The restaurant was up market to many that iv'e been to in the past. The food was even better. The menu was fairly standard with no surprises except that the quality was great. My wife remarked, it the best indian she had ever enjoyed, That evening I ordered the same as gift for my daughter & her husband.
Excellent service and fantastic food. Clean and nice that you can see the chefs cooking. Friendly staff made us very welcome and paid close attention to our orders. The little things made a big difference. Very good value for money. The best Indian restaurant in Warwickshire!!!! Will definitely come again
The food was delicious hot and tasty. Service was excellent and very big portions- we could not fault the food. Newly decorated restaurant with lovely atmosphere
Delicious, authentic food, attentive staff, to be our new regular Indian restaurant! All of the food items we ordered were delivered to the table were of excellent quality and flavour
The food was outstanding. Also the staff were very helpful & friendly. Worth every penny. Would highly recommend. Good value for money with the groupon offer.
Ok so the staff are really friendly and nice. The food is nice although it was very mild.nice and quiet place, would definitely recommend it!!
Greeted warmly and shown to a lovely set table, All food was well presented and very tasty. Service by Stefan was excellent and our party of 5 very much enjoyed our set lunch menu for under £8 per head .
Excellent food.Attentive service.Not very busy sadly for them.Over the last ten years we keep returning and have never had a bad meal.Decor is a little dark.
Authentic Indian food with pleasant ambience . Good friendly service reasonable prices and ample portions . Wide range of choice on the menu . Proper Indian desserts on offer too.
Good food and services. Starters and deserts are nice. Well prepared and platted. I would recommend it. Trying with Jumbo prawns sizzlers was a good decision.
Went as quite a big group food great but service was a bit slow, friendly clean nice atmosphere. First time so will definitely go back
Lovely food, very good service, shame about the music! We thought that the background music was too loud and intrusive, and not really suited to the people who were dining in the restaurant. Also, having nice food served on bare tables seems a shame - the extra costs of table linen would make it much more enjoyable!
Excellent service - excellent food quality served at the correct rate and with good presentation. Will definitely return with family and friends in the near future.
Food was lovely although one out of seven meals was cold. Service was slow and they added items to the bill we didn’t order. I would go back purely for the food.
its great to be there, the ambiance was not very good when I was there. But overall the food and staff was great. Will come back for more
Booked online with ease. Prompt, friendly service and great food! Lovely atmosphere and beautifully designed interior. Great variety of dishes on offer. Will be visiting again!
Perfect food, high quality service! Clean interiour, nice decorated, quick service, clean plates and glassess. I was impressed! I recommend to go there for any type of dinner or lunch. You can go in groups.
Lovely food with good service and good prices. Excellent value for money. Really enjoyed our dinner. Extensive menu with lots of choice. Will be back
Food was very nice, speedy and polite service, will return.
Delicious food served promptly at great prices. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Everything immaculately clean and nicely decorated. Very impressed and will certainly come back again.
We have been to five rivers on numerous occasions. However the food in this occasion was disappointing. The score would've been lower, however the service was attentive.
I'm a coeliac and often struggle to confirm the food is gluten free. The staff know which dishes I can and can't have straight away, if not, they always go and check. Food is really lovely and not too expensive.
Nice Sunday lunch with the family, food great as always, service a little slow at times but incredible value and would recommend if ever in leamington and you like curry
From the outside the restaurant looks like something I would pass on, the kerb appeal is not very good. However step inside and it's pleasantly pleasing, nice comfortable arrangement with nice decor, tables are set for a fi e dinning experience and the food is fabulous. We had a mixed plate starter consisting of popodom, and chutney shis kabab, onion bhaji, Masala fish, chicken tikka and a delicate paty (which I do not know the name of). Followed by a curry myself I chose the lamb bhuna which was tender and the tasty sauce was thick ( can't stand it when the sauce is like coloured water). The o The person's in the party chose fish curry (the best option we all agreed light and fragrant perfect after a large starter and for the lunchtime period which we dined), butter chicken ( absolutely delicious and tender chunk of meat filled the dish), and chicken tikka masala (this tasted similar to the butter chicken wasn't so tikka as we are use to but still very nice). It was nice the the sauce was think and the Nan breads were a real nice accompaniment to the rice as to ensure you scooped up the tastey curry sauce. Desert was also included in the lunchtime deal spiced carrot and vanilla ice cream ( the ice cream is one of the best we have tasted and the spiced carrot cake was like a cookie dough really suited the ice cream and something most of the party thought they wouldn't like but their wasn't any left on the plates! Service is kept at a good pace, although their was only five other tables vacated at the time we dinned, the restaurant can serve around 30 tables The toilets are clean, tiles from top to bottom and fully functioning, they are a little bit cold visiting them down a flight of stair to the basement, i don't know if they have a wheelchair accessible facility upstairs so would need to check that out before bringing my friend who relies on the use of her wheelchair. Service was ok, a bit robotic and flat, our waiter tried to crack a joke or two which we didn't find very funny. One of the waiters did whisk away our popodom plates very quickly and we were surprised as we were still using them, causing my husband to drop his food on his clothes, no appologies or offer to provide a cloth to wipe it off which was a shame. If the service was spot on and the outside was more appealing, with a lunch time promotion board outside would bring in a full lunchtime period service, as the food is excellent and the lunchtime 4 courses was excellent value. I would say this restaurant would be excellent for a evening meal to, it is cosy and warm in the restaurant and offers a modern twist to Bengali foods. Absolutely delicious food and beautiful internal design. Would definitely go back again and would recommend to other people.
Excellent authentic Indian cuisine and service. Dishes were fresh and well prepared. One of my favourite Indian restaurants in the area and standard consistently high.
Greeted warmly and seated in a requested booth. Had set course lunch which was delicious. Staff were attentive and we all really enjoyed, thanks very much.
Great food but it took 1 hour and 10 minutes to actually get our main meals. A little disappointed we had to wait that long on a week night.
A great variety of very good food, high quality service and stuff. It is my second time there, had a lot of fun and I will definitely return.
Amazing food, excellent service, superb value for money. Will definitely come back again to try some of the other dishes. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon.
