Abshar Indian Cuisine in Redbridge

The food is always great! Delivery is also fast and efficient.

The food quality this time wasn't great. The breads were hard, and one looked like it had been half eaten already, the poppadoms seemed stale. Food was lukewarm. Very disappointing. The first time we had this food it was great and that's why we ordered it again.

Had a king prawn masala from here which was the worst I ever tasted. To make matters worse it caused me violent food poisoning and diarrhea. Would urge anyone considering this place to steer clear. Can only assume the served prawns that had gone off

Delivery driver needs replacing he caused a lot of problems

Well as we enter here,we had warm welcome by owner that makes us happy mood, we enter here seen that this is authentic North Indian cuisine,they serve alcoholic drinks here n we prefer fresh beers and papdum with lots of onion n chutney which we like munching with beer n after that straight went to mains,there are starters like onion bhaji,samosa it's all time favourites but we had mind to have vegi mains today, so far they had good chicken lamb dishes but usually when I know it's north Indian Panjabi cuisine my favourite dishes is Baigan Bharata,it's Arbergine is cooked in Tandoor a clay oven yes and it's a authentic test of Baigan Bharata and chilli garlic nan so no stopping just enjoy food really great and my friend had mix Vegetable Cafreal,it's Chef's Special so I tested what a pleasent test of that dish really I'm fan of food this restaurant served, meanwhile owner come n chat with us as I saw his friendliness some one couple pass by restaurant wave hand for him,we r sitting next to roadside view,Overall atmosphere here spendid, definitely we will visit here again with our friends there are plenty seats inside restaurant,had separate toilets for both genders, we park car over road,parking is not big issue here there plenty parking bays if u search for it

This Indian restaurant always exceeds my expectations with its truly authentic flavors that transports me back to India. The impeccable service only added to the experience. I have been here couple of times and ordered take away. Always a pleasure visiting. The pictures speak for itself and you can imagine the taste.

We had Indian food on Valentines day both Veg and Non-Veg, it was very tasty and the service was also good. 5 stars from our side.

I recently dined at the Punjabi restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience. The food was a symphony of flavors, with starters that left a lasting impression. The ambiance was inviting, creating the perfect setting for a delightful meal. The staff, notably Nithin, provided impeccable service, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its delectable cuisine, warm atmosphere, and respectful staff, with a special shoutout to Nithin for his exceptional service.

Excellent food the only Indian I would go to

Food wasn’t the best naan bread was cold freezing food taste the same as other places I’ve tried won’t be buying again for the price you would think their food would be amazing don’t be fooled people

Last came food not good and no taste to it very bad service to us . I will come again let friends come here food not good at all

Wonderful food and a happy face delivering it

Excellent customer service and tasty food Good family atmosphere

Wonderful food, quality and taste phenomenal

Great delicious food and friendly hospitality by the owner. Strongly recommend it.

Wonderful food and excellent service

Mixed Grill was disgusting it was totally dried out like it had been a few days old. My wife had the curry and was up half the night with an upset stomach. Waist of money.

As a customer, your complaint is not listened to, instead you are told that the chef is right. We ordered stuffed parathas and they had no stuffing. Thick atta flour with nothing in the paratha. I threw them in the bin. Description in menu is false.

Nice little place to eat only thing was it took like what felt forever to get the food and with young children that's not good but none the less food was great the rest of the service was great too, would I come here again? Yes, I would *update* I went back here recently with the family, and the food was a lot quicker this time round, so I have amended my review to reflect this as before the food and service were great 👍🏻

Food was amazing as always. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First time I went in here and got a takeaway. A matter paneer and a vegetable madras. It was very good. The curries were fantastic. Highly recommend

Best around, has been for 25 years…..

Great staff and usual good PE food. Good for kids too

The food is good for an Indian Punjabi Cuisine as opposed to most Indian Restaurants who are run by Bengalis in the Uk .The food I feel a bit expensive for Barkingside. That's just my opinion from someone who is not South Asian.I have had similar food in EastEnd of London for a cheaper price and it was just as good in my opinion

Have been ordering food for years, placed an order today on the menu the food comes to £22 and called them for delivery and order over the phone they wanted £33 and the owner Jonny comes up with all the excuses it’s not my website some other company runs it… will never order from here again… I know times are hard but that’s taking the p…. Always check what you have ordered and compare it the there price menu!!! Or better still find another restaurant that does not try and con you!!!

The atmosphere is a bit more fancy than I usually... uh... fancy, but the food and service were very good. We went when it wasn't busy and ordered several different items, each got exactly what we wanted and more.

Very very poor. Service was atrocious, took forever to get anything. Food was bland and well below any standard, not sure how it’s open, maybe loyal locals. Guy flying around, literally, with food cart in what can only be described as supermarket sweep, in a restaurant. Finished meal next door, left after starters. Will not recommend or return. Garlic mushrooms, chaat, Mogo, all no, especially mushrooms!

Disappointed in the taste wasn’t nice and enjoyable like it has been won’t be buying again defo not worth the money

Staff is very nice and provides excellent customer service. Food is amazing along with that the taste is very nice proper Indian taste and spices. I have tried chat papdi, tandoori chicken, garlic chicken with Nan and it’s really amazing.

Must have been a recent change of chef / management because the food has gone right down hill. Its too spicy, lacking in depth of flavour, and some of the starters are so unpleasant they're inedible. The guy who takes phone orders has no warmth. Its just rush rush rush to get your order. Such a pity. This used to be our favourite Indian restaurant. Now it's awful.

Upsetting as I love this place but today the food wasn’t like it usually is there was no butter on the chapati or paratha so they came out like stones very disappointed not to warm either grandma is not a happy bunny tonight

Tasty food but a bit salty, good size portions.Would definitely order again

I have to say this is one of the best indian restaurants around Have been going there for a number of years Very friendly people always poilet The food is excellent Would recommend to anybody

If there's a better curry house out there I'd love to try it.

Food tasted very bland not much flavour. Chicken tikka masala was spicier the what I expected some something that is usually a mild dish. When ordered from other Indian restaurants.

Superb food cannot recommend highly enough

My whole family love this restaurant; the owner and staff are amazing. This is my autistic daughter’s one of her favourite restaurants. She is always warm welcomed by the staff; they look after her - my daughter is fussy and can easily get upset but staff make sure that she is comfortable. The food is excellent; for the brothers and sisters who are looking for something spicy then try their garlic chilli chicken. And for the mild lovers - the korma rocks. The place is clean and tidy and food prices are ok - not the cheapest though.

Ordered 8 curry yesterday for take away was not happy with the taste. Don’t get me wrong but they have made very tasty curry’s but it’s been a few times this has happened now, the curry’s are never the same which is a shame ordered 18/3/23.

Worst food ever i never had such a bad experience

Our local Indian restaurant. Food is always amazing. It is not oily and greasy. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Great service!

Very friendly site. I love dinner with my friends. Thank you, fresh food. very good, I have to thank all the people who work there. the price is worth it

Tasty food, quick delivery and an authentic taste. Lovely!

Taste and hygiene were high standard

Fabulous food. really enjoyed it. Owner/manager and staff are professional and polite

I was not home as the allocated time was not the time the driver came he waited around till the time it was suppose to of come due to this the food was not to standard

Went with large group of friends, excellent service, staff are friendly and helpful, food was really good, all at a reasonable price

Great food -great service and communication

Great food, never a disappointing visit here. Staff are extremely friendly and well worth the travel from across London to come to Abshar!

Lovely restaurant and people. We had my sisters engagement with friends & family and they were so helpful with decorating and providing the best service. The food was absolutely delicious - definitely recommend especially for big company :)

Never fail to disappoint. Excellent service and good food

Authentic Cuisine, served hot with spectacular customer service. Friendly, warm welcome Can make your curry mild medium or hot. Fabulous experience

Trusted with good quality food at reasonable price compared to other Indian restaurants

Amazing food and quality as always!!

Always great food and friendly service

Perfectly OK food, but no more than that - lacking in richness, spice and flavour overall.

Wonderful food and great service

Fantastic food and great service

Great restaurant - loved the food. Definitely coming again! Thanks

Unfortunately didn’t meet its usual standard I’ve always been so happy with the food but today it was not so warm and had to much chillis which normally it does not also the naan was a bit hard

Having been a customer of abshars for many years, I am so surprised how downhill the food has gone. The food was extremely salty and oily and the naans were dry and rock hard. We ordered aloo methi, butter chicken, veg kofta naan and a biryani. Everything just tasted horrible because of too much salt.There was even a bone in my butter chicken and the meat didn’t taste like breast meat, they had used chicken thighs instead, which is contrary to the description they provided. I am so upset as I thought I found THE go to place for punjabi cuisine, now will have to find somewhere else.We didn’t eat any of it and it all ended up going in the bin. Such a shame as their customer service is great and delivery was super fast.

best Indian food I’ve had in a while

First of all restaurant is fine n has good ambiance but the thing is the service pretty poor or I can say I had bad experience in this restaurant. Mainly the waiter who has Beard, he talks rubbish and literally insults the customers I'm still in flabbergasted state that how that restaurant owner is still Happy with this rubbish behavior and finally I don't recommend this kind of restaurant and this kind of terrible service. And the fun fact is even that waiter didn't have a pound in his pocket. I feel really pity for him..

Delicious food as always as with the wonderful staff

Biriyani chicken tasted strange like it was cooked to many times

Our favourite, proper Indian restaurant. Great food and service, very consistent.

Excellent service excellent food

Food was fabulous and delivery was quick

We came last week for mums birthday.. 20 of us. Horrible food!! Kebabs and chicken tikka was very dry and came in a plate rather than a cast iron sizzler. No mint sauce either. Chillin chicken starter was very saucy and more like a main dish.. we paid around £400.. worst experience ever.. Will definitely stay away from this place…

However the time of 7.30 was estimated and it was a Saturday evening... So I am happy. Abshar usually on time and early with deliveries.

Amazing atmosphere and Fantastic food. Host is so friendly, service is excellent. Little Gem for authentic Punjabi cuisine in the heart of Barkingside High Road.

We booked this venue for 40 people few weeks before the boxing day for my mum's glorious 70th. The restaurant did not ask for a deposit or anything although I was in constant touch and they kept reassuring that all is fine until they called me on the 24th Dec at 9.45pm to state that they will not be able to cater for us on the boxing day and claimed that I had not selected the dishes from the menu. However, I had called them earlier, only to be told that someone would call back. When they called back, I was told they will not be able to do it, and I pleaded with them that it's my mother's special birthday and all guests were informed. But this was to no avail and went on deaf ears and the manager/owner was very rude and offered no real explanation. I'll never book this place ever. If you do so, you must have a contract as these people seem completely unprofessional and zero customer service!

Terrible service. I wouldn't even give 1 star. I booked for a party and they cancelled me in the last minute without any credible explanation. I will not recommend this place to anyone especially if you are doing a group booking!

All the food that we ordered was delicious!

Nice restaurant, good sitting area and facility but bit tight sitting. Smiley welcoming staff, nice atmosphere and decor. Prompt ordering sevice. Good food but bit on mild side , not much vegetarian choice but managed and enjoyed

Food is fantastic. Owner of the restaurant is very polite. But I do not like their service, the person who was taking the order, wanted us to order everything in one shot. So, we ordered everything in one shot and end up eating cold food. We go to a restaurant to have a drink with some starters first and then order for the main course. But this did not happened. Customer does not have a choice but to order for food in one shot. Never had this kind of experience before.

Great place to get your proper punjabi food fix. It's very clean, really nice setting and the team are amazing really professional and kind. The value is amazing, the portions are very generous and the food taste amazing, and the prices are sensible. We got ordered sensible amount of food we were party of 5 and the food and as mentioned the protions of the dishes were so much we ended up packing it for takeaway. Family friendly restaurant. There's plenty of parking on the High Street and side roads. They also do takeaway which is great to see. Will definitely be back this place has just received a regular customer, it will be one of my go to places. Thanks to the Abshar team.

Very nice food and sitting for Family I have been trying many indian restaurants in East London always disappointing finally got one best food and best service, when ever will plan for Indian food always going to choose this restaurants.

One of the best Indian restaurants around this side. Tasty food, fair prices and quick delivery. Don’t miss Stuffed baby aubergines, Chilli King prawns and Vegetable biryani. Highly recommend.

Will not ever return, poor service and far to much salt in food. More catered towards Europeans than Indians. Don't let the decor fool you. Also just threw up everything 🤮🤮

Fantastic experience from moment walked in. Great service pace of delivery spot on. Selection of food was great and very tasty Highly recommend

Nice starters specials. Dum biryani it is Not.

Hot Chicken Curry was amazing! We will order again.

The family have been coming here for years. Alway great service, and amazing authentic food. 5 stars!

Food was great along with excellent service.

Love love love this place. Very accommodating for 10 of us 3 of which were crazy screming children!! We're regulars 😊 scrumptious food cooked the panjabi way. Very grateful for making our kids food to order. Fish & king prawns amazing! Lamb biryani delicious! Garlic, onion & chilli naan was a hit with us all. Even their delivery during lock down was up to restaurant standard. See you soon!

Chicken dhansak a speciality n nice ambience

Lovely food, pleasant environment and cheerful staff. I'd definitely eat here again.

Fantastic place for a curry. Staff are always polite and friendly. Food is always brilliant. Would highly recommend!

Since we moved to the area we always order from here, lovely, quality Indian food. We sometimes dine in also.

Best grilled food ever. We were in a rush and had a limited time to have dinner. The waiter was very attentive and ensured food was served. It is a shame I do not live in this local area as this would have become my local indian restaurant.

Delicious food as always and hot and piping ready to consume. The best thing about their curries is that they are exquisite and not oily like many other places.

Spot on great food. Seriously best Indian I've been to in 30 years. Food so so tasty (I'm vegetarian) excellent waiter service. Not bad price. Will be going there again. I can tolerate the background music which, wasn't loud, but more a little annoying. Top marks for everything else though.

First time out since lockdown, had to say the staff were brilliant, making sure everyone was safe. Food was delicious, definitely will be back.

I’ve ordered mild dish and it came very spicy I could not eat it
