We went for Mothers Day all you can eat for £14.95. Time slot 4-6pm. Service was awful so slow and staff very unhelpful. Food finally arrived at 5.45pm and most of it was cold with quite a lot of food few missing. No apology. We left. Will not be going back. Very disappointing.

This restaurant always exceeds expectations. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is amazing - the best in the area easily. We have returned to the area in the last year and tried other local Indian restaurants but this wins hands down. The chef is always happy to create something unique for us if we cannot devide what to have.We are now regulars for both takeaways and eating in. Our advice is to try it and see what we are raving about ! Keep up the good work guys 😊

We regularly visit the Amala having recently returned to the area.This place is a little gem and by far the best Indian restaurant/takeaway in the area (and we are spoilt for choice).The staff are always very warm and welcoming and their genuine love and passion for food is evident in the beautiful food that is served. I tend to be a creature of habit and have a bengal with extra coriander and chillies but every so often I ask for help and inspiration and try something different.They are happy to suggest new dishes which seem perfect for my taste and I have never been disappointed. There is so much choice with a very interesting menu that is reasonably priced. Eat in or takeaway I have only had positive experiences.I usually visit with my partner,occasionally friends and have also been in with large parties between 12 to 15 people for family occasions. The atmosphere,food and service has been worth top marks. Thank you to the Amala for always making our night!

Lovely food, excellent service. I’m really fussy with meat and can’t stand anything chewy. The chicken and lamb we had was succulent and tasty and not chewy at all. Flavours were good and portion sizes were just right for two. We will definitely return.

Went there for dinner on Wednesday evening there was only one other table being used a dad and his two children . It was a banquet night for £14.95 for any starter excluding fish and prawn dishes any main except fish and prawn you pay £2.50 extra on starters for any of those dishes and £3.50 on mains,and any side dish and any rice or a naan each. I had a mixed starter and my wife had chicken chat both nice the mains she had mixed grill but it came with king prawns we don't know how many 1 or 2 but they wanted to charge me £3.50 for the dish just coming with a couple of prawns rather than a whole king prawn dish unbelievable but hey he said he would do it without king prawn so that's what she had expensive for what she got. I had a chicken tikka dansak it was ok not the best and we shared a mushroom rice and a keema naan which I sent back as there was no meat in it that I could see and all soggy and oily on top ,which they did a new one ,better. Pint of cobra each job done it was ok wouldn't go back even for their banquet night but try it for yourselves.

We eat Indian on a regular basis we thought we’d try a new restaurant this was by far one of the worst in Essex we’ve ever had! The popadoms were stale, the korma tasteless and added water , the madras lacked that kick and intense favour, it was all luke warm, the nann bread was the only thing we ate the rest went strait in the bin !!!! Never order again we are not a moaning nit picky takeout eater we treat ourselves once/twice a week so we know our food and how it should taste and arrive!

Popadom’s not fresh and tasted days old. Mix shashlick - no prawns and small pieces of meet - again all not tasting fresh. Have ordered from before and enjoyed but noticeably not fresh and disappointed especially due to the cost for meal to be missing a main ingredient.

This was the worst tikka masala my whole family have ever eaten. It was so sweet that none of us could finish. My siblings had a chicken tikka each and I had jackfruit. The chicken was tough and the jackfruit was like eating pineapple in both taste and texture. There was no spice whatsoever. The naans were stodgy. My brother ordered a plain naan and received a peshwari instead. The vindaloo curry was a 5/10. The tikka masala 1/10. Disgusting!

Visited this venue on a Friday evening, we received our drinks and Popadoms pretty instantly. We had to ask twice to order our mains and for the bill which was slightly agitating. The food overall was fairly nice but the popadoms didn’t taste fresh. My husband enjoyed his chicken balti however could of done with more pieces Of chicken. Chicken tikka was lovely however as was the tandoori chicken.

Order turned out wrong, first dish was a seafood grill supposed to be various bits of fish and calamari rings and shrimp/mussel curry, the curry and calamari was missing. second dish was tandoori main, supposed to be half a chicken and prawns, chicken was missing. when l phoned to inform them, He was most apologetic, turned up with a replacement meal, unfortunately was the same as before. when questioned on this, apparently ticking prawns on {sub-menu} tandoori main deletes the chicken ???. missing shrimp/mussel curry and calamari rings??? mumbled in Indian and left. Result = two lots of missing dinner
