Vel South Indian Kitchen + Bar

This place has been my go to meal stop since one year. My family and I love the healthy freshly made authentic Indian food that they prepare. The staff is very helpful and welcoming and they listens to your concerns very patiently. I love this place and would definitely recommend to anyone who are in search for an awesome meal!

Really delicious, very fresh, high quality food, we had vegan dishes, all really lovely, good drinks (raspberry mojitos and fresh juices), relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff, very clean washrooms, takeaway boxes heat sealed. Will 100% be back. Best curry/Indian food in Reading. Can’t believe it’s been here so long and we never ate here before. It was Friday night, not overly busy.

We visited on a Friday evening at 7:45pm. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Menu - Wide choice ranging between South Indian (Dosa, Idli, Utthapam etc.), North Indian (Veg & Non Veg curries), Rice, Breads, mouth smacking starters/snacks to suit all ages, Indian Chinese(Fried Rice, Noodles, Manchurian etc.) Price - all dishes are very reasonably priced & are value for money. Dishes quantity - Plenty. Serving time - Quick. Will I visit again - Without a doubt.

Came here from a recommendation of a friend after recently coming back from my travels to India. First impressions were good, the place was well lit, vibrant and staff were quick to greet. As we were seated I was quickly thrown back to my time away by the aromas and easy listening Indian music. What followed was probably the best authentic Indian cuisine I have ever tasted! Staff were overly helpful in there recommendations which may I add hit 10/10 every time. So grateful but also equally annoyed that I have only just been here. Will be back in force next time! Highly recommend!

Chole Bhature was awesome, malai kulfi was also tasty and got the Indian sweet pan as well. The Dosa was good and the size was big enough it was with tasty sambhar and chutney. Mango lasso was ok. Service was good. There parking is available outside but limited spots are available, but nearby other options are available,so plan it accordingly. We went on Sunday, and it was not crowded, but you can reserve the seats in advance.
