Karma - Carta

Had some friends recommend so excited to try, the food was exceptionally good, and the service staff fantastic, authentic flavours, simple decor and friendly staff, left with a big smile, definitely returning

If we ever want to spend £45 on a few bits of chicken swimming in oil and onion (classed as Bhuna) and 3 charred king prawns along with a couple of potato patties (classed as starters) again, well look you up, Karma! (Hint: don’t hold your breath)

I wasn't able to dine at this restaurant because they never pick up the phone to take reservations. I've given up trying. How does anyone manage to secure a table here? This is Exeter, not the posh West End of London. Please start answering your phone, it's frustrating! Ver carta

We went to this restaurant for dinner because it was very close to our daughter's university accommodation. The food was amazing, especially the palak paneer and onion bhajis. The curry had fantastic taste and quality, and we highly recommend visiting if you are near St. David's.

We received a very friendly welcome upon our arrival at this restaurant. The service was efficient and welcoming, and the food was some of the best Indian cuisine I have ever tasted. Each of us ordered a different main dish, and they were all delicious. I highly recommend this place, as they have excellent COVID safety measures in place which made us feel very safe.

We'd been meaning to eat here since reading a rave review in the national press and were not disappointed. The menu included a choice of classic and unusual dishes including Indo-chinese. We chose the chef's lamb specials which were rich and flavoursome. The atmoshere was buzzing with full tables so advise booking. We've just booked again and this time bringing friends Ver carta

Billed as Indo-Asian cuisine, the menu offered a really nice combination of Oriental and Indian flavours which made rather special in comparison to the standard Indian and Chinese restaurants. The food itself was light and delicious, and was supplied with very friendly and efficient service. The restaurant is set in spacious and elegant Victorian surroundings (actually at the back of the Great Western Hotel), and this added to a thoroughly enjoyable and refreshing dining experience. As a habitual visitor to Indian restaurants I can confidently say that Karma has managed to provide something out of the ordinary.

The Karma is a little different to many Indian restaurants, firstly it is situated inside the historic Great Western Hotel, thus it wouldn't be right to decorate it with the flock wallpaper etc that is typical of its rivals. There are a number of other twists, due to being part of the hotel it is one of very few Indians that serve any draught beers other than Cobra or Kingfisher. Then we have the food, poppadoms are served in quarters in a bowl rather than whole on a plate. The onion bhajis were huge , larger than a cricket ball and delightful. We chose chefs special lamb curries, full of spice flavours, not in any way overpowered by curry powder. Even the rice was served with a little fried...

My partner and I visited here on a date night tonight. Situated within the Great Western Hotel by St David's train station. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants over the years, in both Exeter and the West Midlands where I am originally from. Being a Chef myself, I love to make my own curries both at home and as specials in the place I work. Because of this, I can be hard to please when it comes to dining out for a curry. Sadly, a lot of places in Exeter don't live up to what I had hoped for, compared to so many of the amazing Indian restaurants in the Midlands, but Karma is not only an exception, but an absolute gem! Fantastic service and the flavours, spices and aromas from the food are... Ver carta
