The new refurbished restaurant looks and feels much nicer than before. The food tastes good, but it needs to arrive faster. Even in an almost empty restaurant our food took about 40 minutes to arrive. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some authentic Indian cuisine cooked to perfection...

Came here for my dad's birthday. The starters took 40 minutes to come out and were not warm and were disgusting. We informed the staff about our concerns and the manager decided instead of rectifying the situation, he began to shout at us. We had a horrible experience and left with a completely ruin...

Can't cook chicken what so ever. The amount of salt is soo overpowering you can not taste any flavour. Lamb chops were good about the only thing right in the place. Living on the reputation of an established name but the quality of food is far from Brilliant!

I have family from overseas often come to the local area and all they want to do for food when ordering or eating out is go to Brilliant. The Nyama lamb ribs are unique and maybe the tastiest desi meat treat you will ever have. Every dish has a unique flavour, the staff are always attentive and frie...

I love how fresh is the food! I've eaten Indian food before, but this is by far the best! We happen to visit UK (we're from The Netherlands) and decided to taste India food as they say it's the one in UK is best after India, of course. So we google it and went to Brilliant...and it was Brilliant!!! ...

I've been to Brilliant several times now, after it came highly recommended by a family member and have not been disappointed to date. The service is attentive and the dishes are superbly cooked and well presented. Will be back again soon :)

Very, very disappointed with all aspects of this eatery. We first visited this restaurant 10 years ago and it was excellent. Even three years ago it was still of high standard.
On this occasion the service was poor and the staff were not attentive. The quality of the food was dreadful. In fact all ...

50% of(f) food missing from the plate.

Went there yesterday, and found out that the govt scheme of 50% off also applied to the food served at Brilliant. Not just to the price.
While the govt pays for the 50% off given to customers, Brilliant has chosen to cash in on it by serving only half porti...

We can came here for a birthday and was sorely dissapointed, the majority of the reviews here clearly do not represent the overall poor food and service, with a booking we were made to wait 10mins when a table was already available. The starts were plain in particular the lamb chops were coated with...

Very bad service and quality. Uncooked food... Ordered one thing and got another thing... They fought with me over the phone and had no manners. No apologies. DO NOT RECCOMEND. Staff is very bad. Too expensive. I could go on for ages... DO NOT trust this restaurant.

Bad experience ..!! The Team has no regrets for unsatisfied customers. The food is fake with permanent pre made curries for different meats. The curries were made in prep shouts ago and earlier on, and the meat was thrown in later. The taste chicken and lamb was not authentic at all. The beer was wa...

Booked a table for 8 a few days before hand. Had to amend numbers twice since then over the phone, which was accommodated with no fuss. Also told us they would seat us upstairs so slot times wouldn't be an issue (because of the 50% scheme)
From start to finish it was faultless. Service was very pol...

From special occasions such as birthdays and wedding anniversaries to just a regular meal, Brilliant had been the choice for me and my family for over 8 years. I visited on the 21 of August for my birthday along with my mum and dad. The food was so different, sheekh kebabs were cold and flavourless,...

Pretty poor food quality. Chicken curry was a very dark, almost black colour. It looked like some jar sauce poured over some pre cooked chicken pieces. Dhal was not great either with the grains still a bit hard tasteless the dish pretty tasteless. The night we went the had two big parties of scream...

Poor quality food. Fish masala tasted like out of a packet, seekh kebab and chicken tikka meat was just not pleasant. Rice was fine, naan was ok too.
Surprised by the prices considering its location, decor and the low quality food.
There are many better Indian restaurants so save yourselves for th...

Food was good and interesting menu, staff were friendly and efficient, but it was a bit cramped. Worst thing though was the noise. Maybe because the tables were too close together, but we couldn't have a conversation. Won't go back.

Good food/Good services. a bit pricey but i guess that comes because of the name & service. All in our group (around 12) were mostly happy and no fault. only fault i heard (as the one who organised the evening) was parking difficult to find one as very busy side roads. recommending for families /g...
