We all think Dastaan is the best Indian by a mile outside London. It's in a completely different league to 'normal' Indians. Everything we ate (far too much) was absolutely delicious. Cant wait to go back.

Was introduced to this gem by a friend and have been back a few times since. It’s only open for dinner Monday to Friday and lunch and dinner at weekends and you usually have to book. Lamb chops are incredible and worth the £10 price...tag (each). The prawns, chicken tikka and all starters are equally as tasty and properly cooked to a tender finish. I’ve had for away a from here and they weren’t as good as having it in the restaurant. It is not cheap, but then good quality meat and vegetables aren’t cheap. It’s a small venue but can make space for tables of 8 (maybe more…?) Parking is tricky so got to side roads instead. Well worth a detour but booking it in advance is advised.More

We've visited this restaurant twice and will be back soon. The pompadum starters and beetroot is a must. The aubergine masala, fish curry and lamb curry are amazing. Don't miss the pistachio kolfi. Great service and simple booking. Love this place!

Fantastic experience, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is incredible. For me the best Indian food I have ever tasted. I went with my son last night for dinner at 6pm (09-6-23. We shared some starters and also some mains and...side dishes, all of them were so so good. Thanks to all at Dastaan for a lovely evening, we will be back soon.More

The food at this restaurant was excellent as was the personal service. A cut above any other Indian restaurant. We were all completely satisfied & we all like a variety of spicing & flavours. Well done!

Following the sale of my house, I took some English neighbours to Dastaan for a celebration / thank you meal. The menu has a number of creative dishes, the likes of which one would only see at upmarket Indian restaurants in town. We ordered a...variety of dishes, from the likes of mild paneer tikka to the spicy pork vindaloo, and, of course, the signature dish, the lamb chops. All were delicious and were enjoyed by one and all. We appreciated that Kamal ji, the manager, regularly checked in with us to ensure that all was well. And after the kitchen closed, Sanjay ji, the chef, spent a significant time with us. He answered our questions about the sourcing of the ingredients, the various celebrity chefs that he had trained under and the modern day challenges of running such a restaurant. That made it a memorable visit.More
