Essence Of India in East Hertfordshire

Unbelievably delicious food. Best curry in years. Fair prices, lovely people. Absolutely top notch. A real institution in Ware. An absolute must visit.

The chicken tandon special is my go too the onion bargi dipped in their signature yoghurt mint sauce and their massala dishes & lightly battered king prawn best indian takeaway around by far. staff are friendly the delivery is A star

The best Indian food full of flavour absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka main and the sag aloo is my favourite. The people are so friendly and very kind . Quick service

I have tried to order a takeaway and the person who answered the phone said that he didn’t speak good English and couldn’t understand what I was saying so ordered takeaway from neelakash

I had chicken Buryan and it was delicious

Food was lovely. I asked for mine to be a little bit hotter (spicier) than usual and this was easily done

Delicious food and great service. Definitely recommend ! The chicken tikka and chicken biryani is great.

30 + years using speaks for itself

This is by far my favourite Indian Takeaway, I never had. The food is so flavoursome, and the price is really reasonable. I’ve been going for 30 years. Never had a better curry.

Always quality food, lovely people.

Been getting our takeaways from here for over 2 years now always friendly and welcoming when you order and the food is superb ta very much see you soon 👍🏼

So what did I have!! Chicken Jal Masala Bombay Aloo Pilau rice Delivered on time, with a smile and the food was sublime. That's all she wrote!

Lovely food especially the chicken tikka masala and prawn Dhansak 👍✔️

The food here is always amazing 👌

Definitely my favourite Indian takeaway in Ware. Never disappoints. Having tried all the others, this one is undoubtedly the best!

Chicken tikka masala, dansak, korma, vindaloo are all exceptional. I crave these meal. My family have been going for 20+ years, great value for a group. Rice comes with some of the mains. Naans are delicious aswell. 10/10 family run company and I’m glad to give them my money.

Never had a bad meal. The food is superb. We have been using Essence of India for over 17 years. I would recommend this takeaway to anyone.

Have used before and been happy. This August Bank Holiday I ordered Vegetable samosa for my partner but she got one lamb and one vegetable. I ordered mixed meat kebab starter and got sheek kebab starter and raw onions ! My lamb jalfrezi was fine. I phoned to complain about starters and was told they would replace the samosa next time I ordered and that I ordered the sheek kebab and not meat kebab ( I spoke to someone else when ordered). The person on the phone was shouting at me. Plenty of other restaurants in Ware that get the orders correct and are friendly.

Friendly take away,good quality,vast menu,been using for over 15 years ,good classic Indian food,owner knowledgeable,staff and drivers prompt and polite.

Always use this takeaway Very reasonable Never had a bad one. Won’t use anyone else dx Far better than the others in there area and at least 30 per Cent cheaper dx

I have used this Indian take away for many years, they also provide a home delivery service, the menu is extensive, and they will also provide additional dishes if you request them.

Been using Essence of for takeaway for years never had a bad curry if you want a reliable Indian takeaway look no further

We live in Puckeridge and they deliver for free. Never had a bad meal although we have had a great number.

3 of us had a carry out meal only one of us enjoyed it. My husband felt his Bhoona was not authentic tasting and was very bland. I wasn’t that hungry, and only ordered chicken pakora. It was truly awful. Dripping in grease, batter was soft and the small pieces of chicken (6) were just horrible. We won’t be visiting this place again.
