“I had a wonderful food experience at Khan’s at The Waterloo. The menu offers a delicious selection of Indian and Bangladeshi dishes, with authentic flavours and plenty of variety. Each dish feels carefully prepared, with aromatic spices, rich sauces and well-balanced seasoning creating a really satisfying taste. The combination of traditional flavours and a welcoming dining atmosphere makes the food even more enjoyable. A great place to visit when you’re craving hearty, flavourful South Asian cuisine.”

“2nd time I’ve visited and by far the best curry I’ve ever had. Stanwix tandoori and saffron takeaway takes some beating as they are both lovely, but this was next level. …”

“An absolute hidden gem of a restaurant. Accommodated 4 of us at short notice. Portions are huge and flavoursome. Vegan and veggie options available and the chef is happy to adjust the heat of dishes to suit your palate. Unfortunately we live 200 miles away but will definitely be back next time we are in Carlisle.”
