How we choose

Recommendations with a reason behind them.

Strong ratings matter, but they are only the starting point. Every restaurant still needs to make sense editorially for the guide.

Strong public reviews

Public ratings and review volume help us judge consistency and reputation.

Food hygiene

We check current official food hygiene information wherever it applies.

Food worth knowing

Regional dishes, house specialities, distinctive cooking or an especially strong take on the curry-house classics.

Editorial judgement

Meeting the baseline does not guarantee inclusion. Restaurants cannot pay to qualify for Curry House Guide.

For restaurants
