We stayed in the Holiday inn. Across the road. We love indian food. So thought we would try Sunam. Lovely staff. Very friendly. We had poppadoms with chutneys. Witch was lovely. Wife had chicken Biriani. I had Handi Gosht. OMG. Big chunks of Lamb that fell apart. Probably the best Lamb I've had. In the best curry I've had for a while. Wife was more than happy with her Biriani. I seen a Naan bread called Mr Lee's Naan. Apparently he's a regular who asked them to make the Naan it's got a bit of everything in it. So they put it on the menu. Lamb. Cheese. Chilli. Corriander. The best Naan we've had. Highly recommended.

Sunam best Indian in the UK. I've been London, I've been Norwich, I've been Newcastle, I've even been Cornwall. I haven't been Wales (don't really want to tbh). And this is by far the best I've ever had. Curry, service, atmosphere... 10/10. Bring your own beer? Yes please.

We have been coming to the Sunam for over 30 years now and have never had a bad meal or service. I cannot get over the bad reviews. The food quality is superb and the staff can never do enough for you. We wouldn’t go anywhere else and it’s the first place my son always wants to go when he comes home! The menu is huge but they will always cook whatever you want to suit your requirements and taste. There is no better balti house.

Had a meal here while visiting family in Kenilworth. It was very busy but the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. The food was delicious- we all had different dishes, and all enjoyed our meals. The prices were very reasonable. I look forward to going again
