Had our first ever meal here last night. What a truly amazing time we had. First class service from the minute we walked through the door. Stunning interior decor and the food was to die for. All staff are very polite and professional. Thanks again guys for making my mother in laws birthday meal one to remember. We’ll definitely see you again soon

Just had the best Indian meal we’ve ever had at The Chequers Indian Lounge in Gt Blakenham. It came with several recommendations from friends and was even better than we expected. We arrived a little early for our booking, the restaurant wasn’t even open, but were shown to our table with plenty of time to look at the menu and decide what to have. We were impressed with the selection and even more so when the food we’d ordered arrived. Everything was cooked fresh from scratch and arrived piping hot and was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. Given the restaurant is in an old pub we weren’t quite sure what to expect but the place is very tastefully decorated and had the feel of a decadent, boutique dining area with plenty of seating. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we’ll definitely be going back soon.

The Chequers is a former pub with a decent sized car park. The exterior blends unassumingly into the local area. The delightful smell of caramelised onion, capsicum and spices permeates the air before you enter. The interior decor is very visually interesting, but more importantly has been very well designed and laid out with careful use soft furnishings that balance the acoustics from hard surfaces. This creates a relaxing dining area with a pleasant ambience from other diners. The food is very good, extra effort is put into the chef's signature dishes that sets the chequers apart from other Indian restaurants. I tried the Tawa, Karahi and cashew Murgh. The Tawa was exceptional, with a delightful mix spices blended carefully with the uplifting tangy flavour of tamarind. The Karahi was also excellent with a deep and rich blend of spices and capsicum. Both the Tawa and Karahi had been further reduced on a skillet to intensify the flavours. The cashew Murgh made use of local honey as an ingredient, which provided a pleasant sweetness to the dish. All three dishes were very distinct and enjoyed with a peshawari and keema naan.

I've not had a worse experience at a restaurant before.The service was absolutely horrendous, we had to wait over 2 hours for our food after we ordered it and blamed the 'new guy' for not doing the order correctly. They then had to take our order again and said we would get complimentary drinks.When the food did come out it was very nice and freshly cooked.When we came to the bill, they didn't make an initial attempt to reduce it despite our experience with the service. After we refused to pay the full amount they did reduce it by 20%.I will not be returning here as the food was no different to the other Indian restaurants in Ipswich.

Had a great evening here with my brother. We ordered plenty of food and wanted to try a little of everything. I informed the waiter I normally have a dhansak, but wanted to try something new. So the chef recommended a new specialty for me with similar sweet & spicy flavours. I would say the only thing that wasn't the best was the chicken pakoras, which were more like breaded chicken dippers. Apart from that everything was spot on. Very good and attentive staff. The converted pub has had a very high quality interior decor. Complimentary brandy after the meal was very nice too. Will definitely return with the family.

My husband took me out for dinner and it was really lovely. The setting and atmosphere was good. Very clean and good staff. We managed to have the set menu, although it wasn’t the right time for it. Just beware, the bottled water on the table is not complimentary. Overall, a really nice experience, not rushed and comfortable. Would def go again.

My wife and I took my mother for her 80th birthday. My mother was so impressed. Trust me she is not easily pleased. We all enjoyed our food. Love the fact it is very spacious, you are not squashed in. Price was fair. The restaurant looked lovely. No pressure to get out quickly. Highly recommended.

Ordered from here as we're staying nearby and decided against hotel/venue food again. Spotted this place on Google, swift 8 minute drive away and 20% cash collection discount was far too tempting to turn down on one of the hottest days of the year.Food wise - decent sized portions, good vegetarian options, but with a few snags. We were given the Paneer Tikka Masala not the Paneer Jalfrezi (one is supposed to be spicy, the other super creamy - assume due to colour and lack of spice, Tikka is what we got) and the bhajis were a little oily but I suppose they don't travel too well for all of 8 minutes in this heat.The rest was tasty enough - spicy chickpeas weren't that spicy but had a nice flavour, aubergines were lovely and smokey but lacked a punch and salt, and Aloo Gobi was really good. The highlight was the samosa, so spicy and rocked my world. Crispy, flakey, bursting with filling. Excellent. Roti were also great - don't see them offered enough, usually just stuck with naans and poppadoms.For the price point, it was a solid offering. More salt, more spice, and the right curry, could've been a banger. But I'd recommend it, just be very specific if you like it a certain way! I think I'm probably spoiled with my in-laws Indian food!

Good sized portions, food was nice. The young lad who was working his first shift there was lovely and had great customer service. It was a large group of us so a few items were forgotten, but quickly rectified.
