Came here on a banquet night and the food was absolutely divine. The service staff members were also helpful catering to myself and my 2 guests. Will 100% recommend.

Red Peppers has great food! I had a very tasty prawn Sagwala. On Wednesdays (and maybe on other day that I forget) they have a great deal that includes 1 starter, 1 main, 1 side, and either rice or naan for roughly £12. The staff were very friendly and the proprietor took me for a tour of their kitchens. The kitchens were very clean and it was great to see all the food being freahly made. Overall a very friendly restaurant with great food.
Vegetarian options: It appeared most dishes had a vegetarian option and the side dishes were all vegetarian.

Absolutely Disastrous!
Red Peppers is an absolute disgrace to Indian cuisine. Last night's takeaway was the worst Indian food I've ever had the misfortune to consume. The chicken was so dry it resembled cardboard, and the complete disregard for my specific instructions is nothing short of incompetence. Finding vegetables in my egg rice is an insult, and sultanas in a Chicken Tikka Korma? Are you serious? The garlic naan was like eating a stale cracker. It was hard, dry, and completely devoid of any flavor or texture. I am appalled at the quality ofthis food and even more disappointed in the complete lack of care taken with my order. I would strongly advise anyone considering ordering from Red Peppers to think twice, or even three times. Save your money and your taste buds, and order from somewhere that actually knows how to cook Indian food.

Chicken was as dry as as a bone - assume it was previously frozen.
Naan was more of a chipati - assume it was shop bought and not cooked on a tandoor.
Staff were very friendly.
Beer was cold.
Overall the meal and drinks were relatively inexpensive - reflective of the food.

Just had a lovely meal this evening at Red Pepper's, staff were lovely and the company inside equally the same.We had the banquet for £12.95 each which runs on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, the food was excellent and we were full up as we had plenty of food.
If you are in the area or live here I can totally recommend it.
We had a Red Peppers chicken special and a Lamb bihari, I can fully recommend as both were very tasty.
Many thanks to Red Peppers for a lovely evening, we couldn't fault anything.
Thanks Matt and Clare

Great place! Very nice Indian food, very generous portions, exceptional service (very nice owner). Mid-week deal is phenomenally good value. Highly recommend.

So whilst walking around Newbury the A board outside Red Peppers Indian Restaurant caught our eye.. "Special Offer Banquet Night £12.95"
We decided to give it a go.
I enquired into the Mator Paneer and whether this could be mild and come without the peas. The gentleman said that was possible, unfortunately the dish arrived full of peas and was too spicy for me.
So, not being into too much spice I elected to have a Chicken Korma, this was lovely, albeit not as mild as I like.
The Peshwari Naan was AMAZING.
All in all we had a lovely meal (I wish I could eat spice) this is a lovely little restaurant. We would return, but I think I would do my homework to ensure the meal options I ordered were more to my liking.
Friendly staff, good price and freshly cooked food

Firstly, I want to say, the company and management that occupied this building since I was a child had the most amazing reputation and was I wrong to believe that this would carry. Do not use their website, prices are wrong, they accused their website of being cloned even though nothing is stated on their 'actual' website not to use it. So there are two websites, make sure you use the right one otherwise you may have wasted your money. Then after calling and caculating the prices from their website which we was directed to, the prices were still inaccurate and came to more even after the 15% off collection. The manager did honour the price of the website so hopefully they will now update the prices. All of this would have been acceptable, IF the food was nice. I don't know after reading reviews if it's better in-house but we had four curry dishes, and all of them were not very nice. The sides were also burnt. The Vindaloo, although meant to be a spicy curry, had no flavour and was extremely spicy. Caution, you may get blisters from the extreme spice and flavourless dish. I will not be returning and if I were you, I would wait until Mr India is reopened or go to one of the other places in Newbury.
I will be making a complaint for misinterpretation and scamming on their behalf also for the website error as this will cause issue especially in the current social climate.
Thank you for wasting £60. Warm regards.
