Amala | Indian Restaurant, Bar & Takeaway in Castle Point

Onion bhaji was like a rock, korma was middle quality but samosa’s were amazing.

Always outstanding food!!! Perfection

bland tasting shatkora and a sloppy mess which was meant to be sag paneer

Tasty and great value for money lots of flavour tried a different dish was lovely

The pots for the mint sauce were ridiculously small, barely a spoonful in each. I also ordered an onion salad, which they crammed into the same tiny pots, making it a pointless portion. I ordered a butter chicken expecting a rich, tomato-based dish, but what I got resembled an overly sweet coconut korma, it went straight in the bin. The chicken tikka was so overloaded with salt, I’ll probably be up all night with a dry mouth. Very disappointing overall.

Ordered a korma sauce but it had bits of chicken in it. Maybe I shouldn’t have assumed, but when ‘korma sauce’ is on the menu and I don’t eat meat, it’s slightly jarring when you chew on chicken as a vegetarian.

some of the food was vert dry the onion bargis was not nice at all and rock hard.

The quality and taste of the food was poor. lamb was chewy and dry- lacked flavour. the onion bajhis were dry and hard. the food was okay but VERY overpriced- and that's even with our discount. Defo not our usual quality of order

Delivery driver 5 star, rang to confirm out location.

lovely food enjoyed everything thankyou

Really disappointed. Small potion sizes on all dishes but the rice. Taste was OK, nothing special. Won't be ordering from here again.

Great takeaway. Would recommend.

Love Amala. Great food and prices

Food is amazing and we got the £12.95 deal that’s on a Tuesday and Wednesday any starter ,main.side.rice or bread apart from fish dishes or lamb chop , our bill come to £42 and that was with a wine and beer excellent price . We will be back soon

Bhajee was hard and cold and Rogan was spicy. It’s never a spicy dish. My wife could not eat it. It’s a shame as they have been very good up until now it this has spoilt it.

Always on time and great tasting food.

hands down the best tasting, value for money, curry in south Essex

Delivery time is as 9pm and still hasn’t arrived it is now nearly 9.30pm

Ordered 2 chapatti but only 1 delivered

Had a family birthday celebration tonight, everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was great 👍

chicken portion not very good and stale bhaji 😢

My friend and I treated ourselves to a meal here and it was totally delicious. Nice and spicy, not bland in any way at all. Each dish was just right. Served with a smile. Will return soon for sure.

Fantastic quick delivery food always delicious and hot

food was lovely as always piping hot and fresh

Fast delivery but had to be the worst Indian we have ever had, most of it went in the bin.

Not hot but food was very good. I’ll order again.

Lovely food. Pleasant delivery driver

Overcooked, tough and we we ended up glad that the portions were tiny because it was awful! I actually gagged on the lamb tikka. We have a very happy food caddy this evening which is where it all went. Oh and it was stone cold when it finally arrived…

Curry was all inside carrier bag it came in. All the food was cold when it arrived! I had to put it in the microwave to heat it up. The food was tasteless, first time ordering and I won’t be ordering again. Waste of money!

absolutely delicious and such a great price.

Amazing food as usual! Will never go anywhere else! Food was full of taste and still really warm when arriving. 100% recommend!

Great quality, all dishes were lovely

Excellent food, good service and very nice delivery driver.

very tasty great value and quick delivery

My korma all spilled out of the pot and leaked everywhere in the bag

Great dinner, good portions and tasty food :)

very tasty and early delivery.

Wonderful food and arrived hot.

Honestly, flavours unreal. However I know I will regret the naga tomo. If you go spicy and want heat induced hiccups this is your boy. My forehead was like a waterfall, my lips now represent the rest of the Essex female population. I’ve only just got the feeling back in my fingers to write this. Well done amala team!

Made order at 7:30pm and arrived at 9:20 but was phoning shop at 9pm and not answering. when arrived food stone cold and apology from the driver

Still haven’t received my food

Amazing food as always. Delivered on time.

good quality, food is delicious and good portion sizes.

Ordered takeaway via just eat. Hour late and stone cold.

1831 I placed the order. 8pm I phoned and they said the driver was stuck in traffic. Benfleet to Basildon. they obviously hadn't sent it out. I'm shocked as this is unusual but I didn't even get good customer service this time.

Food was cold and watery, miles apart from when you eat in the restaurant

Ordered at 6:45 food turned up at 8:35. Was told it left the restaurant at 8:05 and when it finally arrived everything was stone cold. Nann bread wasn’t what we ordered and was rock solid. Had to heat everything in the microwave by this point we didn’t even want it. Waste of money waste of time won’t be ordering again.

Food didn’t arrive for 2 hours after order placed and staff on phone completely useless!!! Delivery driver was rude and food not even hot

Hour late. Cold. Should be embarrassed. Won’t order here again.

Excellent, really tasty, hot and great choice and value for a set meal for 2. Very impressed.

Always delivered quickly, and always delicious. Exceptional value for money.

we was really looking forward to this meal but unfortunately it wasn't the best. chicken was very dry even though it was in a sauce the onion bhaji's were rock hard and the naan bread was tiny. very disappointed.

Food was not hot . salmon was awful hard and tasted terrible lamb tikka and chicken tikka were watery and popadoms were not crispy. Inedible

Small portion, pretty bland and dry, arrived cold.

sadly the food was cold and the tikka was very sweet

very bad! food was left in the middle of the street and not in the USA! shame

Amazing food. I will order again. The chicken tikka biriyani was amazing

Didnt listen to my request when i asked for no salad in my chicken tikka naan wrap. When i phoned to tell them they argued with me and eventually sent a replacement out which arrived with salad in again. Tried to phone again and couldn’t get through to anyone. Food also arrived cold

Lovely food, as always. Thanks.

Great Indian. Lovely flavours and great menu selection.

Ordered from Amala this evening and the food was terrible. The chicken was dry and burned. The poppadoms was stale. Really not impressed as you spend lots of money on a take away then you get this rubbish. Please avoid.

The food was lovely as always - but the portion sizes for the sides were smaller than normal. Some of the containers were not even half full. Also all of our popadoms were broken and we were missing 1 Bombay Aloo.

cold food and generally tasteless

Great food loved it!!! Thank you

food was cold when it arrived. portion size was disappointing.

Amazing food and amazing service as always. This is the best restaurant for food ever! Out of this world. Thank you

Very disappointed, a waste of money. Food arrived on time, yet it was just about luke warm. Everything was bland, no flavour and the curry itself was a watwry mess. Very disappointed, never had this issue before.

Food is ok just taste really cheap

Just an incredibly average Indian. Poppadoms were soggy, chips were flavourless, korma wasn’t good at all and the dips had barely any flavour. The biriyani however was delicious but no enough to make me order again :/

cold food all leaking in bag no nan breads never again terrible

The food was great and delicious as always

For a change we thought we'd order a takeaway from somewhere new. We won't be reordering. It was delivered quite quickly, ✅ and the flavours were pleasant ✅, however, the three cartons were only half full 😔. There were 4 maybe 5 pieces of meat in the biriani 😔, watery vegetable curry with no chunky potatoes 😔 and only 2 small meat samosas 😔. And, no free poppadoms, like many Indian takeaways, The korma was nice and thick, and sweet, 🙂. But, it still left us wanting more food after.

the meal gave us food poising. the lamb was gritty and the chicken was off.

lovely food as always courier polite ty

Unfortunately it was all very cold. Our chicken tikka wraps fell apart and were very soggy - we couldn't eat them. The biryani was very nice but the accompanying vegetable curry was disappointing and watery.

Love this Indian however, tonight all of the food arrived stone cold, very disappointing

Great discount and a top notch curry, wouldn't order from anywhere else

terrible Indian takeaway. 6 small pieces of lamb saag in a main lamb saag. all food cold. no poppadoms no Indian condiments. never again

Great food, great delivery. thanks

one of the best Indians we've had in a long time A*

Fantastic Indian, food was delicious. I would highly rate this place. Will definitely be ordering again.

Food arrived late, food tubs were only half full, which is extremely disappointing

Lovely food as always. Thank you :)

Never had a bad meal. Always been hot and on time.

Incorrect rice delivered naan bread portion was tiny and food was cold when received

every order ive had from amala has been 10/10!

Excellent value for money. Fixed menu button much for my wife and I to eat. Already booked out next visit

absolutely beautiful indian take away. delivered on time by a polite guy. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I'll definitely order again

food had leaked in the bag, was missing the poppadoms and the curry was really watery. never had a problem in the past it's always been really good.

good food on time would use again

Not very nice ended up throwing half of it away

Food was very greasy and lacked much individual flavour for each dish . It all tasted the same

Have ordered several meals from this restaurant and the food has always been excellent, and it’s always arrived quickly! It’s also really good value for money. Delivery driver today was also extremely pleasant and I wish I had cash to tip him!

Lamb Shashlik was very spicy for my wife and even though i asked for no onions, there was 2 halves of an onion as soon as i opened the package. Huge portions though!

I asked for a qood quantity receipt for my expenses. They couldn't even manage that.

food was good and hot this was a birthday suprise from my wife thank you

2 hours for food to come ! stale poppadoms

Delivery was 40 minutes and later and just app was updated to say delivered to meet the timeframe for just eat. Food was nice. Won’t be ordering from here again

Food was spilled everywhere. It was freezing cold the pompadoms was soggy Wasn’t edible

We made a Big order, all there lovely and hot best Indian around driver was lovely too!
