So fed up with ordering a takeaway from here and then being kept waiting on collection, so putting myself at risk with other customers who have also been told the wrong time to collect. 40 minutes late is not on. Average food.

Because of Covid and restrictions, this was our first visit for 18 months to eat in the restaurant, much has changed but much thankfully remains the same, such as the warm friendly personal welcome from the Manager, who has a wonderful memory for names, and also the quality of the food, in terms of Quality Presentation and Quantity.The restaurant itself has had a major makeover, new decoration, totally different from previous schemes and certainly something which needs more than one trip to accept, I had visited previously to collect take aways so knew what it looked like, my wife hadn`t seen it before and was quite surprised. New furniture, crockery cutlery as well, the walls have various new pictures and photographs including one of a tiger which may be in homage to the wonderful illustration of a tiger which was on one wall for many yearsThe food is as I have said still of the previous very high quality, really good sized portions quality and taste for both of our favourite dishes and similarly with the accompaniments

I used to enjoy this restaurant, no complaints. But I have ordered two deliveries during lockdown for me and my mum. The first one we chased up after 2 hours, we were told the driver couldn’t find my address so it was just back at the restaurant, he eventually delivered but it was cold after all that time. Yesterday we were told it would be 1hr10mins, after 1hr40mins we rang and were told there was a slight delay, we got it eventually after 2hr10mins. We are vegetarians and ordered vegetable samosas, as soon as I started eating it I could see mince, my mum said she thought it was meat too. I emailed the restaurant asking if they used vegetarian mince and have had no reply, the waiting time, customer service and possible meat samosas mean I will never use them again. It’s totally unacceptable!

Ordered at 630pm for delivery, from 8pm we called to check on our order and repeatedly no answer on the phone line. At 930pm and still no answer on the phone I decided to drive to the restaurant and was told on entry "its just going to the kitchen now" Whilst sat in the restaurant, the phone line rang and rang and the lad behind the counter ignored it. no surprise we couldn't get through earlier. I waited another 30 mins inside and finally got my order, 3.5 hours after ordering, no refund, no money off and a lousy "sorry". Absolute joke!The food was barely hot too! Never ordering here again. Note for owners- forecast ahead, if you are overloaded don't take anymore orders!

Once again and time after time I cannot fault this restaurant, after 6 months of closure they have refurbished the restaurant and replaced all of the furniture to make the place as safe as possible. The food in my opinion is of the highest quality around and served by the excellent staff who have all been there for some time.To Mr Miah and the team, long may you continue doing what your doing.

I find the quality of the food here really hit and miss. Last nights takeaway was definitely a miss. Average at best, and meat in both dishes hardly generous. Service was pretty poor too - collection was 35 minutes after stated time. In the current (Covid) times, we didn't really want to be hanging around with other customers who were equally delayed.

The food is always delicious, fresh and immaculate. It is obvious the food is fresh and made daily. The staff there is so friendly and welcoming, especially the owner. He always makes a point to come and chat to us when we are in, making us feel like a part of the Elaichi family. They always give us complimentary food or drink every time we go! Hands down the best restaurant!

Had a couple of Ok takeaways here and ate in a year ago. Nothing special. Maybe the quality suffers when busy.So we decided on a last minute early evening midweek sit down to see what it was like and we were thoroughly impressed.Onion bhajia, first class Lamb sag, excellentSag Aloo greatTandoori mixed grill, excellent but the lamb a bit chewyPeshwari naan perfect.So a bit more juiciness on the lamb.Otherwise, great. Will certainly be back early doors midweek.

A sit in meal for 5 people, the only occupied table and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our requests to vary the number of starters was no problem, and the curries were very good: we had a mixture of Goan Salan, Green Massala, prawn and vegetarian choices - all extremely tasty. The service was unobtrusive but efficient - letting us get on with a get together. While the ambience was a little lacking (Tuesday evening - only sit in clients) it didn't detract from the overall very good experience we had.Would recommend.

We had booked her for my son's 40th birthday. There were 6 of us eating and we were in fact the only table occupied, it being a Tuesday evening and it had snowed that afternoon so people were staying indoors. Service was discrete but attentive which is not that easy when you are the only patrons. There were one or two take-away orders collected however.

I love curry! It's my favourite food and so I tend to be fussy and will only eat a decent one. This place is not the best I have ever eaten but it is definitely right up there. The food is very well cooked and the flavours are amazing, if you like your curry to be one where you can taste the different spices (rather than just being ridiculously hot and burning your tastebuds so you can't taste anything) then you should try this place out. You will be met with a not so great welcome but after a dozen visits I get the impression that they are just humble, quiet and chilled ... maybe a little nervous but please don't let this put you off... give it a try.

My husband and I were the only customers when we went in at lunch time. I noticed The Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence as we went in. Unfortunately the waiter serving that lunch time made three mistakes including bringing me a chicken dinner when I specifically asked for vegetarian. It took the edge off my enjoyment.

Visited on a last minute whim in July. So glad we did! Food, service, welcome - everything was lovely! Great menu selection including usual standard curries and a good range of Bangladeshi dishes. Recommend the labjeez (I hope I've got that right!) - just delicious! We had a lamb and vegetarian version and both were incredible. We've returned a couple of times since and not been disappointed. Looking forward to heading back there again soon.

Having been accustomed to good, no nonsense, wholesome and hardy food at restaurants previously, I was more inclined for the "cheap and cheerful" above the service and presentation of a "high end" dining experience.However, with the Elaichi, I get the best of both worlds! The food is absolutely awesome and I remember reading reviews where it had won several awards for top food in Oxfordshire and this little gem is on my doorstep! It is also plentiful when it arrives and I always end up full and satisfied with each visit. I have been several times now and have to say that I never want to visit anywhere else locally for Indian or Bangladeshi cuisine, as this is always the place to go if I want to treat someone to a wonderful experience. Abab and his team always make me (and anyone I am with) special. Abab always shows a genuine interest and always remembers anything I had discussed with him at a previous visit, which is always a good sign that you will receive genuine, fantastic service and I have never been disappointed.I will continue to go as often as I can and the prices are also extremely reasonable, especially considering the service, quality and quantity of food served. Don't tell Abab, but I would actually pay more!

Been ages since I bought a takeaway from the Elaichi, so decided to try it again for myself and my daughter and we were extremely disappointed. The naan breads were so chewy and only luke warm, not like the ones at Hanney Spice that melted in the mouth. My daughter didn't eat her chicken korma after a few mouthfuls as the sauce was not good and my salmon was not great either, but picked out the fish. The rest went in the bin - cost £27 not value for money and feel ripped off, don't bother!

Ni idea who" Pollyrock" is but simply cannot understand her recent review of a supposed take away she purchased here, we usually dine in but because of the lovely evening weather this week decided to buy a take away and enjoy it on the sun at home.Ordered on the phone 25 minutes later the meal was ready when promised and excellent it was too, Chicken Goan Solan and Chicken Khata Massala were our main choices with rice vegetables and Naan breadDelicious it all was and plenty of it as well, especially the number of pieces of chicken, almost too much for either of us to finish but we tried hard and every scrap was eatenExcellent take away, Elaichi, we have never been disappointed with any meals eaten in or now taken out in over 12 years as customers

Having only loved in Wantage for a year we still rely on recommendations for local restaurants. I had been told that the food here was the best in the area and had also read several good reviews, so when my family and I ordered we were really looking forward to a nice meal. Unfortunately, all of our curries were lacking in any real flavour. The rice was good enough, but the meals were very disappointing. Not likely to return.

We visited the Elaichi with family who live nearby and really enjoyed our evening. The staff were exceptionally friendly whilst the decor, atmosphere and food were good. As it was a Saturday night the restaurant was busy and many people were collecting takeaways. As a result service was fairly slow but with all of us being of a generation who are happy to chat and have a laugh, rather than being glued to a tablet or phone, this was a positive. An evening out rather than a "food stop". The Elaichi is fairly expensive but the quality is good.

I really wanted this to be amazing and i am so disappointed. We went on a Monday evening, there was no one else in the restaurant so we had the Chef's undivided attention. The decor and ambiance is lovely. The layout is fab and it's got a really good feel. The manager is simply delightful. The starter was really disappointing and at that point i gave it the benefit of the doubt. It was slightly greasy and not very good. The main courses arrived and were so poor. I love my curries. I love authentic and spicy Indian food. This was a world away from this. Everything was so greasy and either covered in Ghee or swam in Ghee. It was more akin to a spaghetti tomato sauce than a rich Balti. I really thought this going to be a great venue based on the reviews i read beforehand and i am somewhat taken aback. Personally i wouldn't return even if the food was free.

I ordered a take away for my family and my dad is highly allergic to pepers, however, they assured me there would not be any pepers. When we got the food it had them in it all. When we called they said we could have a discount off of our next meal. When we went into the restaurant to eat it was poor service (5 people came in after us to order a take away and got food before us, it took 40 after we finished our starter to come). The food was nasty and the worst indian I have ever had. The discount off of our meal we recieved was £4, which was an insult to be honest. I would recommend nobody go here and waist your money. After speaking to the manager he was very rude and defensive. He said my dad needes to come in, I was the one who ordered the food, so wondering if he wanted to test his allergy or something.

The Elaichi is always our first choice for either a takeaway or for eating in the restaurant and it never lets us down. I had a meal the weekend before last in the restaurant and it was as usual first rate food with first rate service. I have tried many other Indian restaurants in the Wantage area, including Newbury and the Elaichi is my preferred choice.

Love going here to see Abab and the team, especially on a Scott Elvis night. The service is exemplary, the food is always presented very well and it's tasty too. Go along and try it. I am going again for my birthday this year with a whole bunch of friends and very much looking forward to it. Thank you Abab in advance I know it's going to be another fab birthday thanks to you and your fab curry.

A belated review for the excellent Elvis cabaret night on 28th September - superb entertainment from the wonderful "Scott" Elvis and as always a great feast of excellent Bangladeshi Quisine. I come back again and again plus my sons and friends love it. The food is sensational. My eldest rates the Lamb Rogon as the best he's tasted. Thanks again to Abab and his friendly staff.

I've lived in Grove since 2003 and every once in a while as a treat I have a take away from and occasionally a sit down meal with friends at the Elaichi in Millbrook Sq. I have never once been disappointed - the staff are always very kind and polite and the food has always been excellent and timely, with generous portions. I look forward to visiting again soon!

We celebrated my sons birthday here recently.Abab and his team had an exceptional service.We had a large party of friends and family and nothing was to much trouble. We had a fussy eater amongst our friends and Abab went out of his way to accommodate his needs.The food was as expected to the highest quality.We of course embarrassed our son by getting Abab to play the famous birthday track!The Elaichi is a superb restaurant and the team will go out of there way to make your evening a night to remember!

Elaichi is a fabulous Bangladeshi restaurant, Abab and his staff are very friendly and always give great service. Unable to understand why anyone would give this restaurant a bad review as we or friends have never had nothing but great meals and takeaways here. Abab is generous and kind and we often get treated with an extra dish free of charge at our table to trial for new ideas on the menu. And we are always given a free drink. Delicious meal yet again Abab on Saturday will be returning again next weekend!!!!!! And yes all the dishes are special so why would they want a specials board???

On our doorstep and used to serve up such fresh, inventive dishes.. We were served up a very standard 'meet in sticky thick, sweetened sauce' dishes. Very similar (but not as palatable) in both looks and taste as the ready meals from the supermarkets. The popadoms should have given us a clue as to what was going to get wheeled in our direction when they arrived with just some super fine, chopped onions and a couple of sticky, undefined sauces. All in all, good service, nice decor and piping hot food but void of quality ingredients or preparation and rubbed in with a high price. Be nice if they could raise their game but I get the feeling they are happy at this 'takeaway' quality of food??.... :(

Excellent tasty curry and a menu with a bit of a difference. The crab starter is delicious and my husband is a fan of the momo! The saag rice is very good too and the green masala is one of our favourite dishes. The staff are great, super friendly and helpful. Will be sure to return.

We were told this place was excellent,not in my opinion. Service poor and unhelpful, when my husband asked what the special was he was told.'whatever the chef is making" My husband then asked "well is it fish,chicken can you give me an idea?" The reply was "Yes all of them ".Drinks and food were expensive,food placed down on table .no service as such. Very disappointed.

Good tasty curry, just about spicy enough. Nice to be given a free drink at the end of the night too as we didn't really spend much.

You like Indian food but not so fond of chillies. Go for it !(Although the cuisine is from Bengladesh).

Very nice quality food and excellent presentation. A real sense of high quality ingredients and a passion for good cooking. A friendly environment and nice staff and easy to park.

I visited the elaichi on my birthday thought it was very enjoyable. The food was fantastic and was well presented. I felt like they treated me with that little bit extra, because it was my birthday. I would highly recommend the elaichi even if it's just for a takeaway as the food is delicious, however the dine in experience is not one to forget, with kind and helpful staff you won't be disappointed when you visit the elaichi.

Really good food, really good value. whether you eat in or take away, Elaichi has never disappointed. Some things on the menu you do not normally see, which is good. The spices are nice, flavours are very good.Recommended.
