We went there about 2 years ago. It was nice but they didn't do a wine pairing with the tasting so it was a little disappointing.
The food was good. However there was a slight altercation with the couple at the next table and the chef where he told them to leave. Very entertaining from our side but not very professional.
Went for a 'masterclass' today in which they explained how each dish was made and we were able to ask questions throughout. After each course they then served us with what had juts been made.
Very interesting and worth trying.

Nowhere near as good as our first trip here a couple of years ago. Great service but the management have overpriced. It was nicely presented food but essentially the components of a standard curry dressed up into a tasting menu. Not bad tasting but I will always choose Prithvi in future for fine dining.

We had a very different Xmas last year and went to East India Cafe on Xmas day for their Indian Banquet. Didn't know what to expect - and it was fabulous! The food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. Wholly recommended and we're looking forward to returning.

What a fantastic place to eat. Food was delicious and piping hot, the service was attentive without being overbearing and everything I saw outside of our tables order looked just as good as our food. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend trying this place out.

Believe all the rave reviews, this was comfortably the best Indian food we have ever tasted, and some of the best food of any cuisine. From start to finish the experience was a delight, with exceptional food coupled with friendly and attentive staff.

And to top it off, the cost was probably about half what you might pay for similar quality anywhere else

Would recommend this to anyone visiting Cheltenham, or frankly passing anywhere even close!!

We had a great time! We had the best service we've ever received at East India Cafe. They were very friendly and attentive, we really appreciated the level of service. We had the tasting menu and thought the lamb and duck dishes were very good. The other dishes were ok, but not quite as exciting.

I booked this restaurant in advance of a trip to Cheltenham with my husband for our "mini-moon" as we wanted a special experience and booked in with their 8 course tasting menu. The food was amazing with each course offering different flavours and something that we wouldn't usually cook at home. I didn't take many photos as I wouldn't want to ruin the surprises for anyone else but we would both recommend this place. The dessert was a particular highlight (just when you think you can't eat any more). The staff were fantastic and we were served by 5 different people over the course of the evening and each one of them knew exactly what they were doing and which course we were supposed to be served next. A wonderful evening of indulgence.

Without shadow of a doubt the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Staff were fantastic. Would highly recommend the Beef Rezala.
