Chilli Pickle in Epping Forest

I eat here regularly. Food is always good and the staff are always very friendly. I honestly can't fault it.

The food was nice and fresh, but….not enough taste. I have been to White Chapel a few time, and the food was different. I could feel more taste. This one feel like they haven’t put enough spices. But it’s okey when you’re hungry. I have some friends from Bangladesh and when they cook the food is tasty. From this restaurant it’s just not enough taste. This is the only issue I have. Still recommended.

Really enjoy coming here on Sundays. Food is always good.

Warm and friendly service of fantastic Indian cuisine.

The food was cold and horrible. The chicken was chewy, the sauce is a weird colour and the bread was dry, and smelt weird.

Had a takeaway Friday night for 7 first time useing chilli pickle and sorry to say the last time very disappointed

Not the same as I remember it passed through alot ov hands

Lovely people Lovely food would highly recommend

Excellent service and excellent meal. I recommend this place to anyone on a budget seeking good quality food and service.

First time ordering from here and it was fantastic and everyone told me you can't get a decent Balti in Waltham abbey. Truly 5 ⭐

The food was delivered earlier than stated and was nice and hot and very tasty

Was out for delivery a long time so food was not hot at all

Food was beautiful. Thank you!!!

Great food. Best curry in Waltham Abbey.

Love Chilli Pickle, great food and great staff!

Our fav curry place always bang on, foods hot and loads of flavours Never disappoints!

Always deliver early and the food is delicious 😋

Great food and excellent service.

Got my tikka order wrong when I ordered a lamb I received a chicken, everything else was perfectly fine, all was edible so no issues there, just annoying I got the wrong item

Great food. Thursday special is an absolute bargain. Staff efficient although could be a little more friendly did sometimes feel like we were putting them out when serving us.

Lovely food but bit on the expensive side

All good, easy to order and nice and efficient to collect. Food was top quality and will definitely be returning now I am new to the area.

Best indian around foods always hot and always has loads of flavours!

Lovely food . Definitely a winner!

We visit here fairly regularly, the food is always bang on, served by a friendly team. One, very small criticism, is that the food comes up quite quickly - we have never experienced an over lap. It is a fine line - this may suit some people, but we like it a little slower. Go there, check it out, food is excellent, make your own mind up. Either way you will not be disappointed

Lamb was tough and hard to cut and over spiced nan bread and popadoms tasted stale The korma was extremely salty and really thick sauce The tikka and rice was nice but won’t be ordering from there again really dissatisfied and the majority of the meal went in the bin

Great food as always. Quick delivery too so bonus !

Food is decent, although quality can slip depending on the day that you go (different chef?). However, a couple of the waiters are rude and have exhibited a level of disrespect towards me more than once, which I think is very unprofessional. For that reason, I won't be returning.

Was disappointed with the two curries. The chicken in both curries was inedible and chewy and we had to throw it in the bin!

The chicken was tough, the naan was disgusting and the poppadoms were soggy

Beautiful food, lots of flavour. Used for first time will definitely be back and home delivery, food was still hot.

Went with my son Saturday evening food fantastic i always give a tip where ever i go we went to pay my son paid by card while the transaction was going through a waiter behind the bar asked for a tip by asking i said i only have a card if he hadn't of asked i was going to give one anyways for that i will not be going there again

As always delicious food and always arrives hot. 😊

Always come here when I come back home from Scotland. Excellent as usual

We ordered 1st time from this restaurant and will definitely order again! The food was really tasty, big portions, well seasoned and an authentic taste. Pregnancy cravings have been fully satisfied:). Only downside was that, after you ordered the food you don't receive real time updates with your order, so initial ETA was 7.40-8pm but food was delivered at 6.57pm, which was super quick! And the food was pipping hot! Very impressed with this little gem of a restaurant in Waltham Abbey. Thank you for your hard work and excellent food quality!

A little gem of a restaurant in Waltham Abbey. Will be ordering again. Thank you for your hard work and excellent food quality!

Always good service. Food is great value and good sized portions. We have been several times and are always welcomed warmly.

We have been going to this restaurant for nearly 10 years. About a year ago when we saw they had a poor food hygiene rating we stopped going. Then late last summer I was so happy to see they had been inspected and received a good rating. Unfortunately our last dining experience was one I wouldn’t like to repeat. The two servers appeared miserable and really didn’t want to be there. One of the waiters repeatedly made a lip smacking noise throughout our meal. Unfortunately he chose to stand right behind our table as he was doing this. I wondered if it was a tic but he managed to pause when actually serving us. I’m trying not to judge but it was a bit strange. The food was tasty so regardless off the poor service I asked to add a tip onto the bill. The waiter then repeatedly told me he would rather I paid the tip with cash and he wouldn’t receive the tip if I paid by card. I told him I wouldn’t pay the tip then and would be sure to bring cash next time. Then he asked me to put the tip on card anyway but reminded me I must take cash next time. It felt a bit rude. Unfortunately he won’t be getting his cash tip next time because I was violently sick for two days after. I can’t be sure it was this meal that caused it but as a generally healthy person it isn’t usual for me to suffer the kind of symptoms associated with food poisoning. This experience has definitely put me off. Don’t waste your time, money or put your health at risk.

Nice and clean and fresh made curry, nice cobra beer and all for a good price

Excellent food cooked to perfection and quick delivery time

All food was excellent food was lovely and hot

I ordered food 2/9/22 but 20min later the order got cancelled, I called to ask what happened, the guy on the phone tells me that it's more then 3 Miles and they cannot deliver, I told the guy that I have ordered from you 28 Aug 2022 and food was delivered, but he argued and said that they did not, so the review I am giving is for the 1st order and only for the food quality, service was very bad on the phone conversation

Best Indian I've had in a while. Great service and great food. Will definitely visit again soon

Good timing, good quality , good portions and taste great . Defo order again

Ordered online waited 1.5hrs but no food. Called the restaurant and they admitted they had forgotten the order. And tried to palm me off with a bottle of wine! Cancelled order and had Domino's instead.

All good as usual nice and quick too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Not great, very ordinary, watery, no real taste

delicious curry, bhuna especially, rice was a little small maybe, poppaddoms a tad sweet in places, but some of the best curry ive ever had overall

Delicious food always delivered on time or early! Best Indian food in the Abbey.

Always great food never have any issues with them. Fab tasting curry's great restaurant.

Flavour of food was lovely, found chicken a bit chewy.

Chef was having an off day but we will be back

Love this place, lovely meal & staff are all very friendly

Very nice and tasty. But quite expensive

Lovely food and prompt delivery

Lovely hot tasty food. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Nice freshly cooked food and polite, obliging staff. Very reasonable prices.

Curry was bland - rice was nice though

I used to order from here and loved it as the Rag was told it wasn’t great but thought I’d try for myself! So tough and dry! Lamb really chewy and naan. I’ll order from Cinnamon Lounge as usual now 👊🏻 never again 😏

Always great food here and delivered with a friendly smile.

The food came on time and was lovely and hot. Everything tasted great. Will order from here again.

Great food as always. Super quick delivery 👍🏻

Good food, chicken in tikka masala was a little dry, onion bhajis same, very crispy. On the whole good takeaway though

Just went for a Sunday buffet 9.95 pounds absolutely lovely my lamb dish was so soft and very tasty

Food was excellent, highly recommend.

Always perfectly cooked & tasty

Took over an hour and a half to arrive... But, was delicious. Would recommend.

Chicken in the curry was inedible, hard and crunchy as if it had been cooked from frozen. Order from here regularly and normally the quality is good. A little bit of a disappointment on this occasion.

Best Indian Restaurant in Waltham Abbey

Always tasty food.. the best in Waltham Abbey

Always great food and friendly staff 👍

Very happy with the food, good portions and tasted great

Food horrible greasy and tasteless, burnt br3ad

Great restaurant, great quality and great service with polite staff.

Great service and best curry food always delicious and hot and always delivered on time.

Food was cold when it finally arrived

Thursday £10.95 Banquet night. Starter, main, side, rice, nan, tea or coffee. Big portions, great taste. Why wouldn't you!!

wonderful quality with excellent choices. Friendly staff willing to adapt menu to suit the client, nothing is too much trouble. Never let us down and we go weekly now , addicted ---- vegetarian and meat eater both happy with the menu.

Food quality only got 4 stars because the onion bhajis were small, hard, dry and definitely not freshly made. Basically inedible.

Excellent and friendly service.

The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection. The complex blend of spices in the Naga Lamb curry, with the peshwari nan and pilau, met all my expectations.

Onion Bhajis were soggy and not cooked properly. The Naan was tiny and not the usual size. They forgot the drink we ordered with it and had to go back to get it. And it was ten minutes late. Been going here for six years but really disappointed this time

Always good and staff and delivery people so courteous

Lovely dinner, hot & fresh! Delivered on time and with a friendly smile

Food as usual was lovely.....highly recommend.

A lot of the food seemed stale as if it had been used from leftovers from the night before. For example you could almost fold the poppadoms that’s how soft they were

Lovely food, early delivery, would recommend

Had a lovely evening, very friendly staff, thoughly enjoyed the food, excellent value for the money, I would recommend this restaurant, I will return again. 5 stars.💯%

Not as tasty as the Shuhag a few doors down by the church

Excellent food, attentive staff. Will definitely be back

Always lovely tasty hot food....

Lovely food. Very good service 👍

Lovely food delivered on time or maybe even earlier always order from here recommend to all

couldnt say enough about this place, best in Waltham Abbey

I wouldn’t order on a Sunday again … forgot it buffet night so it wasn’t up to normal standards but was ok

Had from there before and really enjoyed it but tonight’s was swimming in grease and oil. Not nice.

Always great food and great service

Ambience was the first thing we noticed , real tablecloths and napkin. Next was the neat smart appearance of the staff in black and white uniform. Food ------- well what can I say ? The flavours were amazing, the food came alive bursting with quality and taste. Staff knowledgeable about all the dishes, service was impeccable. 10/10 Chilli Pickle.

Good sheff and friendly management...allways happy they food!

Food nice fresh, lovely and hot. Definitely stick with this place 👌🏽
