Bombay Blues in Southend-on-Sea

Hot and tasty Indian cuisine, thanks Bombay Blues!!

Super food, very tasty and delivered nice and hot

Ordered a madras, I’ve had hotter kormas. Not usually this mild, not sure what happened. Hopefully a one off

Great flavours. Good sized portions. Very tasty.

My favourite delivery chap. ~ My son answers the door but I always listen for the "Luverly juberly" in an Asian accent . He makes me smile 😃 ~ Love him!!

Best Indian restaurant food 100% good 👍

Amazing food as always. Thank you so much ☺️

Delivered very quickly. Great food as always. Thank you.

delivery was confirmed an hour before it arrived and they never answered the phone good luck people

Terrible service, late is understatement was more than an hour, changed the delivery date from 19:32 (when I ordered) to 20:20. We ordered this over two hours ago and have only just got it. They lied about how long it will be said the driver would be 5 minutes and 30 minutes they showed up. Ended up having our food rushed and didn’t get what we ordered. We got the wrong naan bread orders. Naan was burnt. Not satisfied at all. We were lied to when we kept calling them. As if they forgot the orde

All dishes tastes the same and so salty not very hot. The garlic nan was just garlic chunks thrown on top of a naan

Very dissatisfied with Asar lamb dish ,tasted chemical and very chewy the lamb had to discard and request refund .Absolutely disappointed and let down .

Food delicious as usual highly recommended

Always great food delivered quickly.

excellent food 😋 and excellent service 👌

I love everything about the food and service. Amazing food, great delivery time and always looking forwards to the next time.

I had a chicken tikka marsala and lamb dopiaza, both were delicious. I'm looking forward to the left over's.

My favourite delivery chap ~ He makes me smile every time ~ Bless him x

Food wasn’t great was warm when it turned up and very oily the chips I paid £3.50 I got about 12 and they was undercooked and soggy not happy when I paid £25 to just be thrown away

Meat was burnt and dry, both curries tasted the same, veg was stewed.

Lovely Indian, great for vegetarians too. Arrived within 10 minutes of ordering!!

Always great food and delivered quickly.

Had a takeaway last night that we had to wait nearly 2 hours for my other half called them said it was delivered to and address near ours so I knocked at door as know the people had not received the dinner so they lied when we stated that we would be leaving a poor review the person on other end of phone stated he cared not as they have lots of followers his arrogance was overwhelming shame used to order here and never had drama before don't know if it's new owners but won't be back shambolic service and even worse rotten attitude no care for the customer and they tell lies

Don't even want to give this restaurant a 1 star what an awful food. Was uncooked and tasted rank. Spent alot of money just to put it in the bin

A very good vegan menu always welcoming and friendly staff Would recommend

Great service. Delivered quickly. Lovely food.

The delivery driver was the rude he harassed my neighbours was aggressive on the phone to my wife

Awful delivery driver. Verbally abusive to my neighbour - an elderly lady battling cancer. Left our food on the wet ground outside whilst arguing with our other neighbours too! I’m honestly shocked at what happened. Will not be ordering from here again.

My son always gets the delivery from the door, but just hearing the Asian happy chappy say "Luverly Jubbily" has made my year. I just love him.

Absolutely beautiful food friendly driver Bombay blues is a great restaurant

I ordered a korma and rice which were just okay. It wasn’t the nicest meal I’ve had. The bread was cold and burned and the mint sauce looked and tasted off. Overall, I won’t be ordering again.

Delivery with a smile 😁 Food was great 👍🏻

I ordered it early I expected it to be on time

unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food was lukewarm at best. The flavours were bland, and the overall quality fell short of expectations. Sadly, this experience didn't reflect the delicious Indian cuisine I was hoping for."

Delivery driver was rude and ordered me to come outside of the flat to meet him so he didn’t have to exit his vehicle. The fish dish had far too much onion and very little fish. The Korma was very nice as was the mussala. Very little cheese in the cheese nan. Overall, dissapointed.

The delivery was punctual, and the food met our expectations. Despite arriving slightly cool, a quick microwave and oven reheating resolved that issue. The flavors were decent, just prepare to reheat. We would use again though.

Lovely food, absolutely vile delivery staff. Didn’t ring the bell and rung me to say he will take the food back if I don’t come out now. Rude wouldn’t hand me the bag instead put it on the floor and kept complaining about the lack of house number even though there is one. RUDE I will never order from here again, this isn’t the first time the same bearded man has been rude to me. Delivered 7th December at 18;54

If you want a decent Indian takeaway then stay away from here! My husband ordered takeaway recently and it was fantastic. I oder this evening and was bloody awful!! Firstly, I left instructions to call as no doorbell. We heard someone banging on front door, hubby went and the driver told him to go out to main Rd to bring it in. Husband refused and rightly so. Food was full of curry powder not a decent Jalfrezi, chilli rice was lukewarm and mostly full of onions. Basically it was revolting. I called to speak with manager who tried his best by bring a new prawn jalfrezi and bombay potatoes and informed us that we were the 2nd complaint regarding driver tonight. I argue that I was discriminated against as being female. This was denied. So why when my husband ordered previously it was that good? All of the dishes including replacements were floating in ghee( clarified butter) and as soon as some drained off there was more floating to the top. Obviously they do not need the custom, as no way are we using them again. If we could have left the spaces blank upon ratings then trust me, I would have done. I prefer to write good reviews but sorry to say, not this time.

Food was OK. But leaving out one of the main dishes spoilt the who meal having to wait for it to arrive so the rest was cold and I don't have a microwave

First- I ordered this on way home, it took an hour to get delivered.. However one of the reasons I'm so annoyed is that when it said it was out for delivery- IT TOOK 20MINS TO GET TO MINE!... The restaurant is only 6 mins drive away! Second- Food was only just about warm, nothing was actually hot at all, was waiting on the doorstep for the food and it wasn't even in an insulated carry-bag or anything, just packed into the carrier bag and that was it.. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Third- I called the restaurant twice but NO ONE COULD BE BOTHERED TO ANSWER THE PHONE!! It kept on ringing til it just cut off... so trying to find out what was happening with the delivery (as it was taking 20 mins to get here). So one star for each this time around, disgraceful service which is shocking compared to other times, no apologies either. Next time I'll go back to the other one I order from.

Normally i got to another local to me curry house, however the price's have gone sky high hence trying Bombay blues. Decent amount of curry for three of us for 28 quid... And delivery was bang on time. The quality of the food was outstanding and piping hot!! The vindaloo was spot on as were the prawn puree s! Really jolly delivery man as well.... Definitely be back for more.

Food was excellent. Whole family commented about how good food was. Really nice flavour and nicely spiced.

One day I ordered dinner and gave my credit card details for home delivery. They failed to deliver in-spite of that when I called they asked to come and pick up and I said we ordered for home deliver and there is no one at home who can drive to the store . I was told rudely that some one have attempted delivery and they gave strict 10 min to come and pick up when I say no they refused to deliver or refund and when I go there they alread closed . That’s how I lost money and no food that day. I had to make a dispute from my banker. So unprofessional

I don’t know how this restaurant has low reviews. The veggie options are great and it’s rare to find that around southend for similar restaurants !! 10/10

Our over was over an hour late. Called the restaurant twice to be told it would be 3 minutes and it still took 30 minutes to arrive. Food was stone cold and popadoms like limp lettuce! I have been a customer for year but will not be ordering again. Incredibly disappointing.

Not all my order, late by 30 mins even tho a road away wouldn’t mind but over £50 order. Won’t be back

Just moved here so trying out an Indian ..Not very nice... Chip portion size wasn't even enough for 1 person and for £3 not worth it at all. Biryani the lamb was just fat and the jalfrezi chicken was soggy chicken and didn't taste right. Spent £37 not worth it at all don't rate it at all.

Great Dansak, this place does the best in the Southend area

Food as always was delicious. However, i ordered an hour in advance of the delivery time and it was still half an hour late.

The food as always was lovely, however I did the pay with cash option, the driver literally handed us the food and vanished so fast, he was on the phone obvious to anything.He left we checked to make sure it was cash and hadn’t paid by card not realising and it was cash. He didn’t come back or call. 24hrs later he bangs on our door telling us we had to pay which I had no cash on me, he then wanted to come back. Called restaurant who didn’t seem bothered how rude this was! Won’t be using again!!

I think the driver got hungry on the way because we only received 12 chips in a bag... Curries were very good flavour wise and sauce was good but very stingy on the amount of quorn. Kashmir & special rice both very nice. Naan nice and fresh. Sagg Aloo whilst a side was the star of the whole meal... No poppadom or salad given. For a first time order 6.5/10

Reasonably priced delivered on time and hot. Shame that the food was not as good as when we ate in the restaurant a few weeks ago, unfortunately some of the lamb in the dhansak was rather tough

We have always ordered from here and always ordered the same but this time around we’re really disappointed with the quality and taste of our meals. The chicken didn’t taste right, the whole dish was off. Really disappointed. We won’t be ordering from here again.

Made an order over the phone.. they didn’t take our order correct.. when he re read our order back he said it so quick that I didn’t hear him only charge for 1 items when i actually asked for 4. The food was cold, greasy just not nice at all.. I called up to complain about the missing items for him to tell me that I was wrong. Yet he was in the wrong. If I could give 0* I would……

Food was cold and oily. Missed items even though it was ordered they messed up and wanted us to pay more. No option for 0 star otherwise that's what they would of got!!! Very poor.

First time using Bombay Blues - happy to use again and try other dishes!

Food extremely late. Rang the restaurant twice. Apparently the driver had taken multiple orders. After the second call they said they’d ring the driver then call me back. Not only did they not call me but then wouldn’t answer the phone. Food finally arrived was almost thrown at me by the driver who was not apologetic in any way. Food is so cold and may have been in the containers for 40 minutes or more. I had to throw it away. Absolutely disgusting service and atrocious food. Will never

I never received my food Waited 2hours

Food was an hour late, stone cold and the store said to call back and they will sort it and of course they are now not answering the phone

Order from here alot, normally it's lovely. But this order in particular was unpleasant at best.

Food was cold and too much oil and grease. I ended up throwing it away!!

Great food was delivered quickly.

Great food was delivered quickly.

Was very nice. Big portions. Recommended

We always order from Bombay Blues as they are consistently excellent.

We made a large order and received a main dish we didn’t ask for, and didn’t receive two main dishes. Upon calling the restaurant the manager was rude, dismissive and made me out to be lying about the incorrect delivery. It’s a shame, as we’ve been loyal customers for decades but after the way we were spoken to we won’t be ordering again. A shame, as the food that did arrive was apparently tasty as always and the order was slightly early!

The food was amazing, nice portion size and great flavours. Well worth the wait.

Tikka masala sauce was sooo sweet you could just taste sugar, too overbearing. Rest OK, but wouldn't have again

Went for a meal on way home from seeing friends. Really good food and good service. Best Nan bread and Dhansak we have had in ages and not overpriced

All dishes were absolutely delicious!

lovely food. delivery message not clear but arrived hot anyway

The Prawns in the Prawn Korma were off and everything else was swimming in oil. Awful!

Absolutely beautiful food as usual always lovely and enjoyable and cheerful delivery driver

I order always from them , however tonight , extremely disappointed in the samosas and bajji , somasa undercooked and definitely not worth the almost £4 , 2 tiny bite size pieces, and the bajji were literally dripping in grease , you could squeeze the grease out with a fork , curry ok though

Lovely meal as per! The korma is the best around

Terrible food, actually i binned it. On opening the food, the chips and samosas were undercooked then I opened the rice and it smelt like a damp cloth! The chicken tikka in the starter tasted like fish and was overcooked. Over 30 quid for 1 curry 1 rice 1 starter 1 bread and 1 side. My local was closed so ordered from here. Worst curry I have ever ordered. All went in the bin!

The food was okay, the paratha was quite dry and quite hard. The tandoori chicken starter was a little bit hard as well however everything else was good and the food was ready for collection on time!

I always go to Bombay blues as I have never had a problem but today I was very disappointed as all the food was very salty and I couldn’t eat it. Also the rice was very soggy and made a puddle of water on my plate.

Food not great, ended up leaving most of it, delivery driver was 5*

Dahl way to salty kebab tasted a bit funky other than that food was hot

Always freshly cooked, amazing food and amazing value

Great food not spoiled by slight delay

Food was delicious, very tasty, and piping hot, driver was friendly, and bang on time we will be using this take away again

Never a bad meal from here so yummy and always piping hot

I’m quite upset the driver even though I put as a message the entrance was at the side he left our bag or food in a side road and phoned and told me to go and get it ! The curry was lovely flavour although cold The prawn purée starter had no flavour I was recommended to use this restaurant very disappointed will be going back to my normal

The food was extremely poor. The chicken was pink and it all went in the bin.

Food was delicious as always thank you

All I can say is I wouldn’t feed this oil soaked onion dishes to a pig let alone put it into my body! Absolutely flooded with thick gloopy orange oil, every dish ordered… rank! I phoned to try and sort the food out and was told they couldn’t do anything, the guy even laughed….

Excellent food . Great service 👍

Excellent quality and taste as always - we always know what we'll be getting and it never fails to please

Great food, if a little on the oily side (but who orders without that expectation?!!). Really delicious and timely delivery too. Will be returning when I have unclogged my arteries a bit!

Personally I didn’t like this, it was sickly, food colouring galore even the oil in it was seeping with food colouring so now I have a plate full of food I can’t eat because it’s just straight up nasty. Got a bit on my hand and now my hand is stained red…. Will never order from here again.

Food was very poor quality. Many people from out side coming & going out side door was open. no management control look like fish market.

Wonderful food as usual always on time and food is always great

Food took 1 hour 45mins and the sauce had leaked everywhere in the bag.

They got my order wrong, it was tasty but too sugary for me. Came early and warm

we had a chicken tika rice and sagaloo and nann bread was the best Indian ive had in a long time

Really lovely food. Perfect onion bahjis and the samosas were nice and spicy. Good portion sizes too. Will definitely be back soon.

Very nice and beautiful flavours. Compliments to there chefs 👨‍🍳

Food was great as always, but delivery was much slower than usual- maybe coz its a Sunday, so I was already waiting 15 mins past the estimated 1 hour when i called the restaurant and was told approx 5 mins it'll be there. It did turn up a few mins later, and it was thoroughly enjoyed like usual.
