The Paddox Public House in Rugby

This was probably the best Indian food we’ve had since we moved to Rugby. We went here on a whim as the majority of Indian food we’ve tried in Rugby hasn’t been the best. We looked at the reviews and menu prior to going and they were mixed so we gave it a go. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the menu was new when we arrived and they had everything that we usually order from an Indian mixed grill. We got quite a few items of the menu to try including mixed grill, fish pakora, chilli and masala chips and chilli chicken - we ate the lot and we weren’t disappointed with any of it. We particularly liked the fish pakora, chilli chicken and the shish on the mixed grill. The only suggestion we’d make would be to have the mixed grill on a sizzler plate. The owner was really nice, everyone was attentive, and the chef also came out to make sure everything was okay. We’ll definitely visit again!

We ordered take away today. North Indian Food was brilliant and authentic. Served with smile. Will definitely go back again.This saves me trips to Birmingham :).PS: Just to mention: Naan was brilliant, not like usual mattress size we get these days.

Menu is limited at the moment due to just starting up again but what we had was well presented and delicious. Will definitely go back.

Just what Rugby needed! Great service, mixed grill, curry and drinks.Reasonably priced too! 10/10

Lovely girl behind bar but owners need to help out more

Went here last night. They've only just reopened and are starting with a limited menu. There's also a new executive chef who plans to expand the menu shortly.Drinks were excellent (especially Guinness cold) and the bar staff were super friendly, they were great with kids too. The food was good, kids had the usual nuggets/chicken burger and chips etc which was a winner. The grill stuff doesn't come out on a sizzler plate any more (too much smoke apparently) but the flavours are definitely on point. The curry was also a winner, we ordered a lamb curry extra hot and it right disappoint.The owner was really friendly too, he came over to ask for feedback and told us a bit about his plans. It sounds really good and I hope it all works out.Only downside was a food was a little slow but this was minor in the grand scheme of things and I put it down to a new chef in a new kitchen. When they've got the operation running slick that shouldn't be a problem any more.Definitely recommend you go and try it out, thank you Paddox!!

Great food, absolutely authentic North Indian! Had a mixed vegetarian platter and a spicy non-vegetarian platter for starters. We were a bit full by that time, so decided to order vegetarian biryani and tarka dal only for the main course. Finished off with kulfi. Everything exceeded our expectations! A suggestion would be to make the kulfi in-house rather than bought off the Indian shops, but that's a minor point. Terrific food... haven't had authentic Indian in the country for a long time!The beers were good too, fresh off the tap... especially the Guinness.Overall, highly recommended. And wishing Prabhu and his team every success with this venture.

Very very disappointing soggy chips because they arrived in a cardboard box. The curry sauce was only a half filled container but was very watery. I wanted to visit the restaurant but thought I'd try the takeaway first no offer of a refund either.

Is it a pub that serves Indian food or a restaurant with game machines and big screens?The food was great, really flavoursome and authentic. The service was sub-par. I found it a little annoying how I had to pay for food separately from drinks and whenever I ordered drinks I would have to pay straight away.Furthermore, a giant projector screen showing sky sports just looks daft when people are trying to have a relaxing meal with family and friends.Food = great. Ambience = questionable

Good selection of drinks and friendly staff. Unfortunately don't accept card payments under £10. There is however cash machine with free withdrawals in the pub itself... however this was out of order on my visit.
