The Covered Wagon - Coventry

Amazing food..great service..lovely atmosphere! You could maybe think of a tipping system by card as we had no cash😔 getting out of car park was a bit of a nightmare.. I will definitely be recommending though..brilliant!

Very good will definitely be back the food and the service excellent

We all had a lovely time and the food & service was excellent. Only small problem the biryini ( vegetarian) was too hot but I ate it and took the rest home . But all the others really enjoyed their visit and food . Definitely recommend your lovely restaurant too my friends & family xxx

The food was nice but the service wasn't great, we had a table for 4, the restaurant was busy so I can understand having to wait a little longer for the food to come out, however only part of the order came out together, we then had to ask for 2 other curries to come out, only 1 was brought out and we had to ask again. The waitress did bring us a round of drinks to apologise but half of the table had almost finished their meal by the time or order was complete.

Staff fussed all over us, great service and food was excellent. Thanks Ian & staff Gurj

Lovely food , good portions and good service. The only thing that could’ve improved was that the restaurant was a bit cold

worst curry very poor quality. Will not go back. .

The food was average and the service was poor, I think with it being so busy everything seems rushed and your the staff are too busy, we ate all our poppadoms and condiments,before our drinks came and I had to ask for the drink twice, the curry’s were good but the wagons special sizzles was rather disappointing with the meat being over done

Tender chicken but not flavoured just put in a sauce. Sauce was hot but not flavoursome. Had better elsewhere. Brought mains across and table still had our starters on it.

The meal was very nice but was really rushed towards the end of our meal. I understand that there was a two hour on each table but it wasn't even 2 hours we were being asked to leave. Maybe it would be good to have an area where people can finish drinks and maybe even have a desert!

Perfect service big shout to Joe very attentive!! Is everything ok ladies just a lovely night great food very good ambiance to the place.. very busy we will be back for more excellent food service and staff

fantastic food and service. Liked the open plan kitchen where you could see what was being cooked fresh.

Great service, tender lamb, delicious food and a lot of it for your money.

Nice enough place, although I didn’t know what all the hype and fuss was about. It took a while for someone to take our order, and when the food came out, we’d ordered poppadoms that never arrived, but when we told the waiter, he was going to get them after he’d put the main course on the table. I ordered a vegetable jalfrezi, and it was bland and full of onions. The fish pakora I ordered was bland and dry. The mushroom rice was over cooked and there were hardly any mushrooms in it. I’ll stick to Khushi next time.

Lovely food and restaurant to catch up with friends. 😍

Good service, healthy portions for starters and mains plus lovely Cobra on draft

Well they couldn't get the drinks right it took 3 attempts to get it right also the the jera rice was not cooked properly it was like you was eating plastic also I did not know you get 2 hours to eat the food took 40 mins to come out also they lost business because we all wanted dessert but they said you get 10mins to eat it so we never ordered dessert I will never come back there and recommend it

The food was fantastic. Really delicious and good value for money. Was a little noisy but that's because the restaurant was full of happy customers. All my engineers went home really full and happy. Thankyou

The service from our waitress was first class. However the food was OK but not spectacular, I felt it was geared towards quantity and not quality. I would rather pay a little more and be wow'd! I was also a little off put with the insistence to leave ahead of time, to cater for the next service, I felt rushed.

Everything was perfect,we couldn't fault anything. An amazing night out.

Staff very attentive food came quickly and was very good, it’s a busy place quit noisy so if you want a quiet meal might not be for you 🙂

Good service, great food, pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Not an enjoyable experience, excessively noisy atmosphere, food basic, no flavour just spicy. Disappointed and will not be recommending. However, excellent service from the waitress

Excellent My 4th visit Prefer starters first Mains later on not altogether please as food gets cold ?!

The restaurant was pleasant and the service was very good but in my opinion food wise there are much better Indian restaurants in the area. I can only speak for myself as there are plenty of good reviews but I found the food to have a powdery mass produced flavour.

Nice inside . Ordered butter chicken but tasted like a chicken tikka. Drinks are overpriced.

Lovely staff very helpful. Good food although I was disappointed I couldn't buy a glass of white pinot grigio, they only sold it by the bottle

We visited this Indian restaurant as a group of seven friends. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, making it a nice place to spend an evening together. The starters were actually quite good and gave us high hopes for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately, the main courses were a major disappointment. We ordered seven different curries, a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, few chosen as Madras dishes. We were very clear when ordering that we wanted them spicy and even asked for extra heat. When the curries arrived, they all looked almost identical in colour and texture. Once we started eating, it became clear that they also tasted almost the same - and surprisingly, every single one was sweet. This was extremely disappointing, especially given that Madras curries are known for their spice and depth of flavour. We raised this with the staff, hoping it might be a mistake, but the response was simply that “this is how we make it,” rather than acknowledging the issue or trying to rectify it. While we didn’t make a fuss on the night as we were focused on enjoying time with friends, it was hard to overlook such a fundamental problem. If a chef interprets a clearly stated Madras and extra-spicy order as sweet, flavourless curries, it seriously calls into question their understanding of the cuisine. A good atmosphere and decent starters can’t make up for a disappointing main course, and sadly this experience fell well short of expectations after spending £250 at the restaurant including the tips.

Food and service fantastic only downside was the awful parking - parking spaces very slim so cars all parked to close making it a struggle to get in and out your car. Also id suggest opening both sides of the car up so people go in one way and out the other to reduce jams getting in and out. If you resolve the parking issue we would visit again but wouldn't until it is resolved as it ruins a night out

Lovely food, plenty of it, and service with a smile. A great first visit, and look forward to returning.

Easy to book upfront, no waiting, terrific atmosphere and environment, swift and friendly service, lovely, tasty food, well presented. Will certainly return !

Was really looking forward to trying the Covered Wagon. However my experience was very mixed. Was sat in a poor location by the serving hatch. The meal felt very rushed, the mains came at same time as the stater and the table was too small to take all the order. One of the mains was wrong. The quality of the food though was good. Noise levels way too high to enjoy a conversation. Will definitely try again but first impressions disappointing.

We gave the atmosphere a lower vote because, although an Indian Restaurant, there was only one beautiful Christmas tree and a few snowflakes on the windows....not very Christmasy and also rather cold where we sat. On the plus side, we mentioned it to the manager and he was appreciative of the feedback and said he would look into it. All in all a good experience.

We were unfortunate to be sat near a large work Christmas party who were very very loud. However the staff were apologetic and they left just before our meal came. The food was great. Chicken and sizzler really well cooked. Nice decor and good to see it so busy.

Brilliant food and great staff, well worth a visit 👍

Waiter very good the food when cold very quick and where we sat it was cold .

Lovely and friendly staff from start to finish food amazing hot and tasty with generous portions will be going back o

Food was amazing,and the service excellent Highly recommend, will definitely be returning

The staff that served us were very polite and efficient

This is my second visit in the last 4 weeks. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Great to see it so busy and popular. Portion sizes are great value for money. Will definitely return and recommend.

Staff were lovely,food was amazing , was clean with lovely decor will definitely be back!thankyou

Lovely food, very tasty and plenty of it!. Only negative was the plates aren't warm. Definitely visit again

great time food was lovely and came quick great time

Lovely food and good friendly service. We will be back

Mix up with dishes for two people on our table one person didn’t receive rice until she had finished eating her meal but they took that off the bill we asked for water three times

Staff, service and food excellent. Highly recommend the Wagon special sizzler.

Food was pleasant, menu somewhat basic/traditional nothing innovative, service decidedly average - plates were not going to be changed between starter and main until requested , the new plates were not warmed. Tables not cleared from plates, dishes, leftovers glasses etc an hour after finishing main course . Staff were very polite and courteous however just missing a few basics that make for a better experience.

The staff were very attentive and all food for a party of 13 came out at the same time 😊

Everything was great food fantastic as was the service by lovely staff the only downside was I booked for 7 confirmed my booking the night before to be greated with a table for six a confused faces from the staff until one man came along and pulled up another table job done, will definitely be going again many thanks the Tull family

I booked the table for 6pm. Service was awful. The staff are clearly very busy but the food service was even worst. We had a table of 8, 4 people’s food came out after 50 minutes of waiting but only half portions. No rice, and half the curry’s. Main meals with naans served with no rice. 10 minutes later told another 5 minute wait for the rest, 20 minutes later still nothing and the curry they had served was now cold. To add to this there were 3 other tables of 8/10 in the same room that then started to receive their food without issue! Mixed grills were not good. When curry finally arrived after multiple complaints it was nice and tasty but by this time all of the other members had eaten. Shame with the service as the food overall was actually quite nice
