Fancy a ruby? Look no further.

The British love affair with curry has endured for centuries and shows no sign of stopping. Finished work? Curry. Hungover? Curry. Trip out for lunch? Curry.

Even during the height of summer, you'll be hard-pressed to find an empty Indian restaurant, such is our obsession with all things spicy (or mild).

Whether you want the UK's staple dish, the chicken tikka masala, or want to try your hand (and risk death) at a phaal, then the following restaurants cater for all needs.

According to Tripadvisor, these are the most popular Indian restaurants in and around Wiltshire as of April 2024:

Ruchi - 4.5 stars out of 1774 reviews

They say: "Established since 1990. We offer great service to our customers. Delivery service available, Tuesday and Sunday evening specials for dining in and we also cater for large parties in our V.I.P room."

Recent reviews: "Excellent Bread! We sat next to the fish tank and pondered the curious turtle. My friends enjoyed free shots on the house, but I did not partake in them. The curry was good, there was no humous, but I reiterate, the bread was excellent."

And the food as always was amazing. We will be back and just want to thank all for making my dads birthday extra special. Would highly recommend!"

Cafe Diwali - 4.5 stars out of 803 reviews

90 Crane Street, Salisbury SP1 2QD England

They say: "Although we hadn't booked the staff accommodated us on a busy Saturday night. Brought friends for an Indian that is different from the usual. Everything was delicious. Service prompt and attentive. Well done all!"

"We arrived not long before the kitchen closed but we were welcomed and given time to decide and order. The seating area in the conservatory at the back is very pleasant. The food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I would recommend this restaurant to those interested in this type of Indian food (street food style). I will be going back for sure."

Anokaa - 4.5 stars out of 1622 reviews

60 Fisherton Street, Salisbury SP2 7RB England

They say: "Fantastic selection of unusual dishes, including excellent vegetarian options- possibly the best Indian food I've ever had. Service and presentation also excellent. Really couldn't fault anything!"

"Unique and tasty twist on Indian cuisine. A cut above your average Indian restaurant with really great vegetarian alternatives, not just a few frozen beans and potatoes in a sauce. Been a few times when I’m town and always surprised and impressed."

Spice - 4.5 stars out of 506 reviews

9-10 Maryport Street, Devizes SN10 1AH England

They say: "An authentic dining experience: Spice offers diners a new take on Indian food, mixing the flavours and spices of India with the finest seasonal ingredients."

"Just happened in this restaurant on a wet Sunday evening. So impressed with the selection of dishes on the menu. I had the garlic chicken which was outstanding. Very friendly, attentive staff. We shall certainly return."
