A restaurant just over the Surrey border with rooftop views of aeroplanes taking off and landing has been called a "stunning gem" by diners. With an atmospheric terrace and private pods, this is a great place to try delicious, flavoursome Indian dishes.

PK Indian Restaurant, Bar and Lounge can be found on the sixth floor of the Courtyard, in the Marriott Hotel. It's just a short drive from Surrey into Hayes, in Hillingdon.

Dishes served at PK are Punjabi inspired, with sizzler platters, tandoori grills and biryani recipes. Customers have raved about the paneer tikka and fish curries in reviews left via Google.

One diner wrote: "Located on the 6th floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, PK restaurant is a stunning rooftop gem, featuring panoramic views of Heathrow Airport runway from its terrace and pods. The paneer tikka was my favourite from the sizzler, it was really delicious with a soft texture I loved the flavours of the fish curry the Rasmalai was beautifully presented, however I found the milk foam a bit too rich.

"Waited in line for 45 minutes just to get in. The food at PK was just so much better.

Standout dishes include the chicken kathi roll made with spiced shredded chicken, wrapped in a paratha for £13.49 and the Kakinada club prawn which is a coastal Andhra specialty with Provençale Guntur chilli sauce, shallots, curry leaves for £17.99.

The Murgh Dim Biryani contains succulent chicken and fragrant spices at £15.99 and the Northwest speciality, Kashmiri chilli is an authentic option with pounded spices at £16.99.

Inside the restaurant is beautiful with touches of art deco and contemporary décor. Given that it is at the top floor and has floor to ceiling windows, whether you are sat inside or on the terrace you will see incredible views across the airport.

Even though temperatures have taken a dip, you could still sit outside in little pods to keep dry and watch the world go by. During summer, you can soak up the sun on the terrace and enjoy a cocktail from the rooftop bar next to the restaurant.
