Castle View in Lincoln Recognised as Best Indian Restaurant
Castle View, a restaurant located in the heart of Lincoln, has once again been declared the best Indian establishment in the county. Previous accolades include being labelled the 'best takeaway' back in April, and has now taken the crown for the best sit-down dining.
Idyllic Scenery and Authentic Ambience
Positioned uphill, adjacent to Lincoln Castle, Castle View possesses a tranquil, dimly lit atmosphere within a colourfully decorated interior. On entry, visitors are welcomed by hospitable staff who guide them to their tables.
A Plentiful Menu
The restaurant prides itself on a menu plentiful with variety, leaving patrons spoilt for choice. Classics include the traditional dishes, chef's specials, tandoori specials, and vegetarian options. Guests are treated to complimentary poppadums, complete with onion salad, mint sauce, mango chutney and chilli chutney dips.
"The Tandoori chicken came sizzling on a platter with lemon and salad and the samosas were very fresh."
A Delectable Dining Experience
Following thoughtful menu deliberation, Tandoori Chicken for £5.50 and three Vegetable Samosas for £4.50 were ordered as starters. Both dishes were promptly served - the chicken prepared fresh while samosas came with a zing.
The order for the mains consisted of Chicken Mudoori at £11.50 and a classic Vegetable Korma for £9.50. Extras included Pilau Rice for £3.25 and a Peshwari Naan for £3.40. Both main dishes were aesthetically pleasing; the Chicken Mudoori vibrant in colour, tantalising taste buds with its outstanding taste, whilst the Vegetable Korma boasted a medley of fresh, healthy ingredients with a burst of flavour.
Exceptional Service
Reviewers were contented with the impeccable service at Castle View, praising the polite waitresses and complimentary treats, such as mints at the end of the meal and lemon hand wipes between courses.
Rave Review
The experience at Castle View topped off with a leisurely walk around Lincoln Castle, a short distance from the restaurant. The reviewers wholeheartedly recommend an early booking due to the popularity of the restaurant, particularly over the weekend.
Also receiving attention for their commendable Indian cuisine were MaCh in Wragby Road East, Lincoln, second in line, and Everest Xpress in The Strait, Lincoln, bagging the third spot.
