Lovely restaurant, wonderful service very attentive staff, as this was my first time I played it safe with the food, there was no need for this the food was lovely. Starters we're very good I highly recommend the wings as a starter, they are the best wings I have had since visiting vagas. Well done guys

Visited yesterday with high expectations after all the exposure and the time they have been operating. The person at the front desk was fabulous and accommodating as we didn't book and gave a great table after a slight wait. The waiter was amazing, attentive and really hospitable. However the food was not what was expected and having been to lesser establishments regarding Indian cuisine it was very underwhelming unfortunately. However thank you for the experience.

I attended my cousins 40th Birthday party at the Brilliant banqueting on 31st October 2021 and I was so impressed with everything! The food was amazing! The staff were pleasant and very helpful. The management at Brilliant went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and accommodated our needs. Very professional and polite. I look forward to coming again very soon!

Unsurprising that they were voted part of Gordon Ramsay's best restaurants. Amazing North Indian food. Terrific desserts - try the Gulkand Rose Kulfi (pic) that's on their menu in house. The food and ambience were terrific. The staff were very nice and adjusted their seating to accommodate us having reached late. Price is worth the quality and the way you will end up spending more is by ordering more !

Absolute rubbish food! No taste no flavours nothing, I for sure will never go back there.
It was my first time eating there as once upon a time I had heard lots of good things about this place but it was shocking how tasteless the food was and yet so expensive. What a waste of money. I asked for a cold Guinness and I received a 3/4 of a pint only to the find that they served this from a can,NOT GOOD.I then got them to replace this for a bottle of kingfisher but I received a pint this was even worse than the Guinness , the beer was smelling like the pipes had not been cleaned for some time. I eventually

Visited recently with a group of friends having high expectations. Considering the price for the area and Brilliants reputation, I expected slightly more. Curries were ok, didn't really stand out versus other similar Southall eateries, starters were good.
Service - was very quick and waiters were attentive, although I suspect they were extra motivated due to the turn around times in order to squeeze as many eat out to help out customers.
Had to politely ask one of the waiters if he could keep his mask on whilst in the dining area speaking with customers - most of the other staff did adhere to
