"Went to this restaurant as part of Norfolk Restaurant Week and had heard very good things so was super excited Was hard to find but when we did it was a lovely welcome from the staff.....we were seated Immediately as we were late through not finding the venue.....menu looked very appetising!!! Served bread which was lovely....me being an Irish man love my bread and butter....asked if we could have a bit more (perfectly happy to pay extra which I said) to be told that the chef had only made enough that day for one roll per person and no extras were available.....ironically 5 minutes later the table next to us asked for some more bread but got the same answer Food was fabulous and an incredibly high standard.....in truth the starter portions were rather small for an adult....I fully appreciate fine dining but there wasn't much on the plate....at that point kind of had that sinking feeling!!! Luckily though even though the next 2 courses were not the biggest they did the job of filling us up in a pleasant way and all three course were very good food good service apart from waiting 55 minutes for our desserts but in total fairness to the manager and the staff they were extremely apologetic and even went so far as to only charge us for 2 courses instead of 3!! Which was not my intention but a very nice touch!! Also very helpful and polite.....explained to us that there was another promotion in January food was excellent and would definitely have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the bread and maybe slightly more on the starter....yes there was a delay but it was dealt with perfectly looking forward to hopefully dining their again with friends soon"

"I stopped by for tea and cake but had to remind the staff about my order after waiting for at least 45 minutes. By the time my order arrived, my tea was almost finished. The scone was served warm with jam, even though I didn't ask for it. I couldn't find the prices of cakes on the menu, but later discovered that the prices listed on their website were lower than what we were charged. Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones experiencing long wait times - a family ended up leaving because they were tired of waiting. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience."

"Sent me a piece of burnt, dry duck; phoned up to complain (15 minutes on hold/ not getting through) then they thought I was asking for a free meal! So sent back the rubber ducky (not touched not eaten). No apology not even free prawn crackers. Been ordering for 5 years. Last time as had to let my friends and family eat before me for the wait on the phone and for the food I paid for. Just we’re done unacceptable food and attitude. I should add the cashier is lovely and very professional, as the Chinese lady in the back is cussing me out. 10/10 to her."

"Update March 2024. Back in Swaffham visiting family, back at Indian Summer for takeaway. Usual Cobra and red wine whilst waiting (part of the delight of the Indian Summer and our reason for not ordering online or by 'phone). The usual superb customer service and of course the superb food. Maybe we should convince them to open a satellite restaurant where we live in the far north of Scotland, we certainly need it. Would happily award more than 5 stars in all respects. Update August 2023. Back visiting family and a trip to get our favourite takeaway. As usual a glass of Cobra and a glass of red wine whilst waiting. The manager and his staff are superb and have first rate customer service skills. You are made to feel to be THE most important people in the restaurant. Excellent food, excellent service, very good pricing and generous portions make a meal from Indian Summer most desirable. No hesitation in recommending FIVE STARS in EVERY respect. See you next time we are down here. Update February 2023. Back in Swaffham, first point of call, what has become a favourite restaurant for a takeaway. Customary glass of Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. Wonderful, friendly reception, excellent service, fabulous food. Truly a 5* establishment. Update December 2022. Back in the area again and headed to Indian Summer for a takeaway. Customary glass of Cobra and red wine whilst waiting. Excellent service and food. A great restaurant. Update June 2022. Back in the area went for a take away. Order placed, shown to a table to enjoy a superb pint of Cobra and a glass (large) of red wine to await our order. Made to feel that we were the most important customers in the restaurant. FIVE STAR SERVICE and when we got back to our relatives a FIVE STAR range of Indian dishes. Absolutely wonderful , how I wish we had a restaurant of this quality where we live in the far north of Scotland. Original comment 2021. A wonderful evening enjoying the excellent food and excellent service. All in all, superb. Would definitely recommend. Will certainly be making another reservation when next in the area."
