The Cardamom House is an Indian restaurant located in Charlton Kings, just a short drive from Cheltenham's town centre, so it's easily accessible whether you're staying in the area or making a day trip.
The kitchen offers a thoughtful menu that ranges from well-known classics to regional specialities, with a real focus on fresh ingredients and fragrant spices. You'll spot the usual favourites here, but also some less familiar dishes that deserve exploring.
The space has a genuinely welcoming feel without being formal, making it equally suitable for celebrating something special or simply enjoying a good meal after a day out in the Cotswolds. In a region where you're more likely to encounter traditional pub food, this restaurant stands out by serving properly executed Indian cooking that clearly demonstrates skill and consistency. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, the kind of place where you sense the team cares about what they're doing.
If you're staying in or near Cheltenham and want to step away from British fare for an evening, this is the sort of spot you'd happily return to or confidently recommend to friends. It offers something genuinely different from many other local options without trying too hard about it.
