Amala | Indian Restaurant, Bar & Takeaway in Castle Point

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!

I don’t mind the food being late these things happen but the food was cold the curry’s were watery and the yellow sauce that come with the order was curdled I have never seen that before, I love Amala and always order from here if I have Indian, I’m hoping it was just a off night but it was disappointing

Excellent as usual. Never had a bad experience.

the food was outstanding the timing was good and the delivery person pleasant thank you

Ordered because of offer but glad I did, great taste and portion size (some places skimp out on amount of meat in the curry). Even though not my closest Indian it arrived quickly and hot.

The food was absolutely vile & tasteless . There was 2 tiny pieces of chicken in a curry, the onion bhajis where just dripping in oil, there was pure water and oil on the sag aloo that was stone cold, the poppadoms where soft and stale. would NEVER eat from here again. The food ain’t even good enough to give back. I have kept the photos and food & will be returning it to the restaurant in its original state. Absolutely disgusted that it was even allowed to be delivered. ZERO STARS

Top grade!! Great Food & service, would highly recommend , second time we've been and looking foreward to our next visit So much choice even on the Sunday Buffet, all Table service and can try as many dishes as you wish Definately 5 * all the way, You need to book your table, Enjoy

Food was a weird taste especially the chicken & the poppadoms were stale

The food was luke warm when arrived. Lamb was very chewy.

Well the thing we didn’t like was the quality off the sauce was a bit poor on the tikka masala but too rich and so so watery the chicken was a tad over cooked and just wasn’t seasoned but the korma was good but the cheese and keema naan seemingly had little to no meat in it and the tikka masala naan had burger sauce peppers and whole tomatoes and other veg in it which is not the correct item I ordered as well

We are new to area - will order from here again. Good food. Good flavours. Nice and quick delivery. And excellent special offer.

called them to change to delivery. worked out perfect. really quick. great dinner.

Lovely food! Can’t fault Amala at all! We always order from here! Food always hot! And always tastes amazing :)

Went on a Sunday £12.95 4 course meal, food and service was fantastic, we shall be returning

Not as nice as last week, bits were cold and bread doughy!!

Great Food as always. Onion bhajis especially good this evening 😋

Lamb was awful!!!!! Delivery time was catastrophic

the first order was delivered somewhere else. received the 2nd lot of food and part of the order was missing. normally have no issues

order over 1 hour late. phoned the resturant and was told it was round the corner, still another 40mins. food damaged and cold on delivery. when I called back 30 mins later than first call, was told we spoke to you 5mins ago and we told you were busy. delivery women was told it was damaged, she said oh well, speak to them. discussed with everything!!!!!

food never arrived and delivery driver lied stating he delivered the food. 3 hours waiting and nothing to show for it. don't waste your time ordering here people.

Only had takeaway but absolutely fire 🔥 11/10 Hats off chef

10/10 banger New favourite on the block.

This was really disappointing, bland tasting and no substance. I think a jar of sauce from the supermarket put together with some fresh veg would have tasted nicer. My partner threw his away and couldn't even eat it. We sadly won't be coming back.

Food overall was good. The potatoes in the saag aloo were undercooked which was disappointed. They threw in an extra papadom which was appropriated.

Absolutely lovely, best curry in Essex. Always piping hot, couldn’t fault.

I asked for it not to be spicy and its so spicy i cant eat it. Complete waste of money!!! Never buy from here again. They dont follow customers requests

I can forgive the late delivery time as road works were put up locally. The food was very nice as usual and surprisingly still at a good temperature to eat. Friendly staff when I phone them up.

unfortunately this was the worst meal I've ever had. the food was cold. I csn actually deal with that. can reheat. However the poppadoms were soft. the onion bahjees were dripping in grease and the kebabs were rubbery

Really tasty curries with extra spice / heat 🌶️ We thoroughly enjoyed the coconut rice and peshwari naan as sweet accompaniments to hot curries! The only critique, is that the salad and poppadoms could have been a tad bit more fresh. Poppadoms were slightly stale (soft) and salad was packed with curries, so was hot and limp.

lovely food, fresh nice and hot. quick delivery.

Our favourite Indian. Always great food. Hot and tasty x

sent wrong rice, poppadoms were stale and non-bread taste of nothing when it’s meant to

First time order. Curry sauces were very tasty but sadly the chicken in my butter chicken was pink and undercooked so I couldn't eat it. Chicken in the pakora also very pink. Rest of food was fine...

Delicious as usual! I can recommend the Chef’s Specials

Always really great food, very tasty and cooked just right. Have even eaten in the restaurant and food is so good. good prices for the food.

Very tasty food and delivered on time and hot 👍

was delivered hot and early very tasty would recommend

First time we’ve ordered from Amala. Food was lovely! Good lamb dansak with plenty of meat! Great keema cauliflower bhajee! Never had this dish before. We will definitely order from Amala again.

Tiger curry was too sweet but everything else lovely

Food never arrived delivered to wrong address tried to make me feel like I had received the food and pretended it didn’t come I am mortified that they can accuse me of that So upset has to put 1 for the food as it wouldn’t let me submit without putting something

Stunning food as always. Nice and hot. Thank you x

Excellent food and great value, the only Indian restaurant I'll ever order from

thankyou another lovely meal and great delivery

delivery Driver had no change so an order of £21.70 turned into £25 and the tikka massala sauce was like water never ordering from there again

Went on Sunday 28 th July around 7,30 Had a great meal food was spot on , staff could not have been more helpful , well worth a visit .

Nice food pleasant staff ,great atmosphere

The quality is very poor and the portions are terrible. The Seafood Grill Starter which was £8 had one prawn a tiny piece of fish and the flavour was not good. I was shocked to see only 2 tiny items in there packed with onions. Chicken Bhuna had no t

Lovely curry and amazing onion rice, but the onion and natural yogurt was disappointing

delivered on time, fresh and pipping hot. Very happy. thanks.

food came quick but the quality was very poor, have ordered from here in the past and has been good but on this occasion the food was not nice, felt like it was a day or two old, will not be ordering again

Best indian we have had for a while and I’m really fussy with indian, lovely taste in everything and the saag paneer was done how it should be! Was lovely definitely will order again, delivery driver was lovely too

Just ordered a takeaway And was one of the best we had in years Everything was fantastic and delivery was fast

Lovely, hot & tasty really enjoyed! Thank you

One of the nicest Indians I have ever eaten, Thank you so much

Food was not pleasant, mint sauce had spilt all over the food. Poppadoms were stale, meat in one of the curries didn’t taste right. The dopiaza sauce wasn’t nothing like I had tasted before it was really sweet and didn’t taste like the usual curry. King prawn didn’t get eaten as it smelt badly of nasty fish. I’ve eaten here many times before but this time around it was awful.

utterly useless food looking like it has been kicked around under a pallet of bricks

Fantastic food and delivery thanks very much

Always great to, thank you guys xx

The food taste was good, but had lot of sand in it, extremely disappointed

I've used Amala for years and always enjoyed it but it wasn't great last time I ordered and this time it was worse. I don't know of they they have a new chef but it wasn't nice and the popodoms were stale. I've always recommended this place but I can't anymore

Ordered a take away on Saturday, have to say this is the worst Indian we have had, the Dhansak tasted like it had a bag of sugar in it, no spice at all, the Vegan meal was tasteless, the Koran looked like something a cat had thrown up and the prawn dish was tasteless, with extremely large chunks of garlic in it! The onion bhajis tasted like they had been reheated and reheated again, the poppodums were also burnt, really disappointing and would not recommend! Just eat were no help either!

Items were burnt, but food still arrived cold! The Dansak was terrible tasted like it was just made with Sugar! The vegan dish was tasteless, along with the veggie meal, looked terrible and didn’t taste much better. The onion bhajis tasted like they had been reheated a couple of times..but were still cold! Ordered for 6 people and not one person was happy with their meal, the majority are f it went in the bin! Raised with Just Eat and they were no help at all…Honestly don’t waste your money!

If your a big fan of Indian cuisine and want to cut down or even give up then try this absolute shat out. It'll put you off for life I only ever get a Dhansak where ever I am and this one here was pure sugar it was rank & even the poppadoms were burnt to a cinder, the onion barhjee was full of food colouring and just chewing it gave me jaw ache..never again folks.

Nice people, and freindly service. There was a big group of us, and the food went cold quickly as the mains came out and had to wait 10 minutes for the rice, unfortunately 😕

Food was overcooked. Most of it had very little flavour and was quiet oily

Shocking 😮 don’t order waited over an hour they then updates just to say order delivered however no food turned up ring restaurant's they then say food not even left and it will be another 20 mins

from getting the notification the food had left the restaurant it took 50 mins to arrive

I called restaurant to see where my order was because it said it was on its way...and the restaurant is only 12mins away 30mins after I called to see where not here there said on its way...then it said delivered and I still haven't received it....I called restaurant back 45mins later and they said it's on its way I said it left your restaurant 45mins ago and we are 12mins away...can you call driver and see where my food is ....my food didn't arrive I would like a full refund

Probably one of the worst curry I’ve ever eaten

over a 2 hours since ordering and still not here, been told 5 minutes more than once when we call up. won't be ordering from here again. the kids have had to go to bed without dinner as they have school tomorrow. ordered before 6 too and still not here gone 8.

The curries were utterly flavorless, with the overpowering taste of pepper being the only discernible flavor. Additionally, we were surprised and let down by the absence of complimentary mint sauces, which are typically a staple. Unfortunately, won't be returning.

Always delivered early, food is amazing, best Indian in Essex.

Tasty and good value with the 40% off

Very nice food as usual, taken one star off as didn’t get the can of drink I had ordered.

Went for Sunday buffet, food is ordered and bought out freshly cooked. Everything we ordered was amazing, staff were friendly. So glad we came here, definitely our go to Indian restaurant now. Cannot fault anything with this place!! 10/10!!

i got my delivery on time but it's unacceptable that everything was that cold! I had to heat it up to eat

First time ordering, food was fantastic, will be ordering again in the future

Recently discovered this restaurant. We eat Indian food every fortnight and have tried many restaurants. This one is great and we will definitely be using it again

Once again another great delivery….. was early and had to tackle rush hour traffic. Food was piping hot and came from Benfleet to Canvey. Thanks for a great meal.

Ordered at 8.25 turned up at 10.10 shocking customer service from restaurant. Food then arrived cold, would never order again.

Was 40mins late and by the time it arrived the food was lukewarm and the popadoms were stale.

Food wasn’t very tasty as didn’t have much flavour

First time ordering from Amala and don’t think there will be a second time 😞 Food was cold Had To Warm it up in microwave The Tikka was more like Tandoori Than Chargrilled & The Korma Was far Too Sweet & Thick To Mix in With Rice or Eat With Nan Bread So Ended up Just Throwing it Away! Glad We Didn’t Pay Full Price Because Our Treat of The Month Went in The Bin🤷🏼‍♀️

Really pleasant meal, will definitely return

someone needs to read my comment on just eat order please,I asked for hot veg curry but I received mild one, I have same experience before

Excellent service and food was good. Will definitely be using them again

Missing item aside, the quality of the food was poor. The tandoori mix grill had a weird slimy coating (I’ve never been put off food before but this was new) it was also an obscene amount of food colouring. The garlic naan lacked garlic and only about 20% of the keema naan had any filling. Shame

Lovely food as always. Our favourite Indian by far xx

Great tasting food at a very reasonable price. Fast delivery .

Unfortunately overall wasn’t great, started well with an early delivery and friendly driver. However the food itself had issues. The Dhansak and Madras were severely oily , more than the other dishes and leaked everywhere, which stained the table cover. The Tiger chicken dish was very strange tasting and only had 3 small pieces of chicken in it which was poor. I raised through Just Eat and they put it down to “Style” of cooking and closed the issue. I’ve had food from Amala a few times won’t again

absolutely superb..tastey and hot..just so nice..Best by far

Food lovely as always but unfortunately was missing a couple of items.

Amazing food lovely taste. Good prices

Lovely hot food, friendly service and top quality. I will be using again :)

Love Amala - both to eat in and takeaway. Great food, service and staff. YUMMY

Best Indian takeaway. The food is constantly great unlike many others.
