Passage To India, Ipswich

I called in advance to ask if they cater for vegans. I was assured that my curry would be made vegan and even added it to the notes section of the order to make sure as I have an intolence to dairy and have been vegan for three years. My VEGAN curry had PANEER (cheese) in it - I am now dealing with the consequences of my dairy intolerance with an upset stomach and sickness! You'd think that was bad enough, my friend then found MEAT in her VEGETARIAN curry!!!!!! We called right away and spoke to a horrible, unhelpful and rude lady. She told us (a vegan and vegetarian) we were the ones who added meat to our curry, that paneer is tofu (when tofu isn't on their menu and it was 100% cheese) and that Indian cheese doesn't contain dairy and I even had to read the Google definition to her on the phone! She was shouting, made an offensive comment about her own staff, "well he is foreign but he knows what he's doing", and treated us like liars. Reporting to Food Standards immediately and highly insist that all with allergies, dietary requirements or just common sense stay away!!!!!!

Brilliant variety of Menu. Lovely knowledgeable staff. Comfortable seating and cosy interior. Fairly priced. Cleanliness is good. Positive atmosphere. Good location. Good opening times. A good selection of wines.

Everything about this restaurant is fabulous. I always go back again and have taken with me different friends and family who all enjoyed the experience. I recommend it all the time. My favourite restaurant full stop.

Ipswich, Indian, Passage To India - This is a very friendly family-run buisness right in the heart of the town centre and in my mind should already be the best Indian in town. As a chef from Ipswich, I am sometimes very critical about places, but this place absorbs everything. Very friendly, quick and pro service; this is a real gem!
