Went there on a work related dinner. We used the upstairs room where there was a big screen and a big table. It was quiet and perfect for our meeting as it was educational and social meeting. Food was brilliant and staff were kind. Dedicsted parking area.

Food was lovely and reasonably priced however the cost of £3.90 for a cordial with plain water I think is extortionate. Didn't even put fruit or ice with it. When I queried the price was just told same price for all soft drinks. Had I known that would have had a better quality of drink at that price.

?? food, very good and deliciously prepared. Very nice atmosphere with appropriate service. Reservations are recommended. We had not made a reservation, but we were lucky. Our own parking space is a big plus
Parking: Own parking space next to the restaurant

Tired decor and basic toilet facilities detract from the silver service and smartly turned out staff. Food was average and not particularly well cooked. I found a small sliver of shinbone in my lamb dish and got a blasé matter of fact response when I pointed it out. Not worth the premium prices for the meals. Won?t be back until it gets a refurbishment.

A Flavorful Delight:A Perfect Evening at Dower House BawtryMy wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Dower House last Friday evening, and it was an experience worth every accolade. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional culinary journey.The menu was a vibrant celebration of classic Indian cuisine, offering a diverse selection of dishes that catered to both traditional and contemporary tastes. Each dish we ordered was a masterpiece, bursting with rich, authentic flavors that left us craving more. The spices were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a testament to the chef's mastery.What made the evening truly special was the impeccable service. The staff at were attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Their recommendations were spot on, and they were always on hand to cater to our needs with a warm smile.Overall, Dower House is a gem that offers not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. It was a ten out of ten evening for us, and we will certainly be returning soon. Kudos to the entire team for their dedication to excellence.Kaoutar & Cader

Ate here with friends who lived locally at the time , around a year ago. The place was heaving and very very hot. We were shown to table quite quickly and our starters arrived fast as well. I?ve eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants over the years in a few different countries. The Bhaji and pakora selection we got was minuscule in the extreme and tasted stale. The mains arrived and frankly, i hate places that serve the chicken cubed. Feels and tastes processed. Also, a medium curry was too hot almost to the point of being inedible (and I do like spicy food) Our friends enjoyed it but we ourselves won?t return now that they have moved away. Felt it was overpriced for the experience as well.

Clean place with polite staff, starters were very good but the mains were very bad, ruined the whole meal. The bill was higher than most Indian restaurants.

As a party of 5 who went on Christmas Eve as a family spending over £200 we found that the food was mediocre, the table service was appalling. One man with no hair was particularly rude, grunted when we spoke to him and had little in customer service skills. There are a lot of staff whizzing around and the bar staff were friendly admittedly but given that they brought out the wrong dish, the grumpy man who made us feel uncomfortable, the two round tables pushed together for a party of five that made us feel disjointed and the rice which was not very hot is why we?ve given the review accordingly. We did leave a tip (after all it was Christmas) and we hope this review helps them to improve their service. Such a shame we had the experience we did.

I love the curry's ?? at Dower House!I visited on a Thursday night recently, a small group of 3, around 18:45, there were a few tables available and it filled up towards 8pm.I booked online ? and it took 24 hours before they replied. So I'd say if you wanted to make sure you're booked in contact the restaurant and book ?.You enter through the side door ?and arrive at a check in desk, if nobody is there continue through and left onto the bar and they'll seat you from there.A nice pint of kingfisher ?We had a couple of poppadoms each and a pickle tray, it was all really fresh and the lime pickle was easily the best I've had in ages! ?I had Chicken Dansak for main, a nice sweet curry ? ? and some pilau rice and a garlic chapati (not on the menu but they were happy to make it - it was really garlicky ?)It all tasted great ?We all had a starter and a main, + 1 garlic naan, 1 rice ? 1 chapati - 2 pints 1 pint of coke and we had white coffees ? to finish. It came to just over £100 which I felt was reasonable for the quality and service.The place was clean and tidy and the staff were all friendly ???My photos didn't come out very well, I only managed the starter! Pakora photo, which tasted great.I can't wait to go back again ?Parking: 2-3 pounds for a few hours, card or cash at the pay machineWheelchair accessibility: Access ? into the restaurant seemed ok, but please not this when you're booking. I'm not sure if there is a downstairs toilet, there may be for disabled.

NIce place to visit and has quite a few free parking bays but there doesn't seem to be any Blue Badge spaces. The inside is tastefully decorated. The the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, atmosphere was relaxed, the background authentic music was at a level where you could converse with ease. Good menu to chose from with reasonable prices. Our party of 12 was attended to in a timely fashion, the staff appear to be a well oiled chain! People that smoke may find it disapointing that there doesn't seem to be a covered smoking shelter. Wheelchair users would find it challenging to navigate inside. Toilets are on first floor which is OK for the fit and able :-) Everyone in our group enjoyed the food, no compliants.
