A fairly small friendly restaurant, there is a reasonable sized car park just nearby across the road.
I would describe the food as a variation on Indian, but a really lovely one. Some things a bit similar, others quite different.
There are starters, mains and dishes that could either be eaten as starters or mains by ordering perhaps 3 between 2 people. We had popadom to start and then a single course of dishes for the 3 of us to share. We decided on 2 mains, 3 of the middle size, some rice and a naan.
Of the dishes we had chicken, prawn, lamb, stuffed potato and a button mushroom & peas dish. Everything was excellent, very tasty indeed. The flavours of the chicken and prawn dishes with sauce were just excellent. The lamb nice and tender and the king prawns very tasty but slightly burnt by the flame fire.
Amazingly the best dish was the button mushroom & peas though which was just so flavoursome. Nice stuffed potato which I wasn’t sure about when we ordered. The naan really nice.
I had a Katmandhu beer which I can really recommend.
Great food, great service, nice relaxed place. It was a bit of a quick meal, the food turns up quite rapidly and we were there on a Saturday.
For something different to your normal Indian style food, I can highly recommend.

Save your time and walk across the road to the Ivory Tusk. This place is a Shambles when it comes to service and clearly prioritises the takeaway side of the restaurant. Had to find our own menus and waited over 45 minutes to be seen by someone. The poppadoms were stale and the bottled water had clearly been filled with tap water as there was no seal. We then waited a further 45 minutes and watched the table next to us who arrived half an hour after us receive their food 10 minutes before us. We then requested a revision of our bill which was laughed off by one of the brothers. He then said if we had spent more he would have been able to revise a reduction on the final bill. Shambles of a restaurant.

We had dinner in the small room upstairs which was a table for six and virtually private. We had an amuse bouche of lentil soup which was very tasty. We had a lovely dinner and had recommend the king prawns, duck and lamb shank mains. This place offers a different taste to other regular Indian restaurants. It is more expensive but definitely worth it.
4. The Great Gurkhas

4.5 based on 275 reviews
If you are anywhere near Weybridge by car or train, this gem of a restaurant must be visited. There is a good range of authentic Nepalese cuisine to satisfy all palates, and (a major plus point) what must be the best and widest vegetarian choices for many miles around - I'm lucky enough to live nearby! Their phone number is 01932 848480 / 848435

We had a takeaway from here, as it was recommended and to be honest it was ok but nothing special. The Aloo Ghobi (they use a different name) was tasteless, the Jalfrezi was passable and the nicest dish was the mushroom rice.
5. The Queens Head
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 548 reviews
The Queen's Head was built in the mid 18th century and has been both a coach house and courthouse (complete with its own gallows) before becoming a pub many years ago. Step inside and the character of the building is felt in the cosiness of the snugs, the welcoming bar, the warming open fireplaces and the lovely low ceilings. Our open kitchen shows we are as serious about our food as we are about our ales - the menu features French brasserie dishes with an English pub twist and everything is cooked fresh on the premises. We have a delightful, professional team here to greet you and make sure your visit is relaxing and memorable.

Having only moved into the area a month ago. We’ve now found ourselves going to the Queens head twice in the last 2 weekends.
Last weekend for Sunday lunch which was excellent. The quality of the food was very good. I then rebooked to take my Mum for Mother day on Saturday evening and again the food, service and atmosphere were all superb. My Mum is gluten free and there were plenty of options available for her and they were particularly attentive of her dietary restrictions
My favourite dish so far... the pistachio soufflé is very good!
6. Nuntana Thai at The Royal George

Thai Restaurant within the Royal George public house
Reviewed By RodG1506 - Chertsey, United Kingdom
We went here for Valentines night. The pub is typical English character and the restaurant provides really good Thai food. The service is a little slow due to the small kitchen, but they’re very up front about it and everything arrives freshly done. No complaints about it at all other than be prepared to wait a bit for your meal. Great night though a we all enjoyed it.

We visited on the last Friday of the month, as they have various sound alike artists singing on the last Friday of every month & Frank Sinatra was brilliant.
We have visited many times, Tom Jones, Elvis, Michael Buble & Frank Sinatra are all fabulous, the atmosphere is brilliant.
The food is always brilliant, although as the place is packed on these nights, the service can be slow but you don’t usually mind as you are enjoying the entertainment. It’s a little on the expensive side for drinks but the food is a good price & service charge is already included in the final bill.
8. Red Lion

The Red Lion Pubis one of the oldest established riverside pubs in Shepperton, situated between Sunbury and Chertsey, on what was, for many years the road in the Parish. This was the building occupied by the first known licensee, Robert Reed, between 1722 and 1730. From our bar to our Restaurant- whether you are coming in for a pint, coffee or a business meeting we will cater for all of your needs in a very professional but relaxed style.

The food is really excellent as is the service but kitchen struggled with timings and getting out correct orders.
A busy night , we waited close to an hour for starters to arrive and one of the main courses was wrong.
Having said that the quality was superb and the service from our waitress was bright and cheerful.
9. Hansa's Thai Kitchen

Reviewed By Claire D - Bath, United Kingdom
Delicious food (plenty of vegetarian options), good portion sizes (not massive, but not minimalist either), and service was relatively fast too. We went on a Saturday evening and they were fully booked up, as the place is quite small (maybe 10-12 tables) I would recommend making a reservation if possible. The staff are friendly and helpful and seemed very in control - they knew the menu well and even remembered who had ordered what when the food came out. Small plates of fruit are provided after the main course, which is a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and would return when I'm next in the area!

Reviewed By Brian C - Honfleur, France
Good parking in the main car park then into this friendly place for lunch before cinema.
We chose starters of calamari and also mushrooms for my wife. Both freshly cooked and ample portions. To follow we had the baby chicken piri piri. Lovely tender meat and good hot sauce. The sweet potato chips are nice but the whole experience could have been improved with vegetables other than a few leaves.
The staff are highly efficient and attentive and a meal here means you can concentrate on the film, and not annoy your neighbours by eating in the cinema!
