Magnificent! The tastiest authentic Indian food in Cornwall. India is a huge country and its cuisine is as diverse as its languages or geography. There are hundreds of regional variations. Reggie's specialises in authentic Mumbai cooking. So, do not expect the typical high street curry house menu. Reggie and his wife Nisha serve exactly what they eat themselves at home. We had a selection of small plates - a fillet of sea bass with a fragrant green herb paste, cooked in a banana leaf, whitebait fresh and crisp with a subtle spice crust, a tender beef fry and a dosa, a pancake filled with spicy potatoes. Every dish came with dips or sauces, giving a vast range of flavours. As heat (spiciness) can be controversial, there is a shaker containing one of Reggie's spice mixes on the table so each diner can drive up the heat of their dishes to the level they prefer. This is Indian dining-out at its very best - thoughtful, welcoming, and delicious. The service was cheerful and friendly - Nisha came to explain the ethos of her restaurant, and we discussed the desserts, like shri khand and kulfi, that we were promised would be on the menu in the future. And, of course, the Mumbai speciality, chai. Reggie and Nisha, we wish you every success, you certainly deserve it.
Absolutely delicious Indian food everything well seasoned and nicely spiced. Home-made sauces are lovely and the best home-made naan bread, Super friendly staff as well highly recommend!
This used to be the Mussel Box, so please ignore reviews to do with what it was. Reggie's has only been open 1 Month from this review (April 2024). The owner has now changed it to Reggie's (Indian Street Food), and what a positive change for a place in Cornwall that already has far too many grills and fish restaurants! This Indian Food is absolutely top notch, and really really affordable too, and this is coming from someone from the Midlands where good authentic Indian Food is plenty available. The owner imports most of his food ingredients from family and friends in Mumbai, so the name of the restaurant is not just for show. I'm a little stunned with some negative reviews, but I guess for some people if Indian food isn't a fireball then they just think it's a microwave meal. Such a shame for them, as Indian food is much more delicate and delicious than that, and this place definitely hits those notes. The food has proper depth in taste from delicate spices, and you can get all the notes of texture too. It's not like so many Indian Restaurants which are just a ton of Sugar, Butter and Salt. The meats particularly are well prepared too. Great views of the Harbour, and friendly staff. The only thing that took some getting used to was ordering via the Online Menu from the QR Code within the menu, so person-less ordering and payment. The service of food is dead fast though! Let's hope they start delivery for their take-away service! As it's easily the best tasting Indian food in North Mid Cornwall! Lamb Karahi, Afghan Chicken both with Rice, Clay Oven Naan, Bombay Potato and x2 Half Pint of Lager for £46. Well done to the Reggie's team for spicing up Cornwall!
This was without doubt the finest Indian food we have ever experienced. The flavours were outstanding. I highly recommend visiting this if you're someone who wants more than a standard curry night. We'll be back!
Absolutely delicious food and lovely owner / waitress, unfortunately there was a long wait for food as all staff were completely absorbed sorting take away orders and a steady stream of people next to our table waiting for their takeaways. This was sadly not very relaxing. Please give people visiting your restaurant more attention and perhaps do your takeaway orders through a side door!
Visited with 6 friends without reservation & the waitress made great effort to squeeze us in to service and kept us informed throughout . At a guess I’d say we had 10 separate dishes and everyone said their meal was exceptional. I had the most succulent mussels and belly pork . Our visit was the highlight of our stay in Cornwall all the more special as it was completely unplanned. Go yourself and give it a try they deserve your custom !
Finally I had Vada Pav in UK after 5 years and wad very delicious (Khupach aprateem chav). Onion Bhajj was very delicious and then I had Fish and Rice it was also very very delicious!!! Really great. The Owner of the Restaurant (Husband & Wife) both are very sweet and humble. He(Owner) is the amazing Cook. Definitely I will visit again and wants to try other dishes. Thank you so much Reggies.
