Garden Of India in Harlow

I can honestly say, this is one of the best restaurants Ive been to in the world. The host and staff are the most welcoming and you are treated like a friend. Our host suggested dishes for us and was very generous with portions and complments. The food is delicious and fusion foods that I never would have tried, were offered to us. Their original creations are sensations on your tastebuds and all made fresh to order. You enter this restaurant as a patron and leave a friend.

This place never disappoints so good and the food is just amazing. Best for miles around and the staff are second to none 5+ stars

I was in Harlow on business and googled a good Indian restaurant for solo meal The food was ok, The mixed grill was ok, the Sheena Kebab had good spicing, the Tandoori Chicken tasty. but the lamb was too chewy for me. The Naan was ok but the Aloot Chat had the consistency of babyfood and surprisingly bland. Not what I was expecting at all! The service was ok. I asked the waiter when I arrived what he recommended and he replied "Don't worry, we will look after you." The manager was far better and attentive and made an effort with other customers. They let me sit at my laptop all night as I worked and the bill and left. I have a few more trips to Harlow for business and will check out other restaurants...

Absolutely lovely service and lovely takeaway meal iv been back a few times now always have the same each time which we enjoy

This place is possibly the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. The food is amazing and is only topped by the incredible staff and service. Won't be going anywhere else!

Great place , very stylish , great service , food and atmosphere

Mo was very attentive and looked after us, as I don't like to much spice - and ensured my meal wasn't too hot. Thank you 😊.

Food was very good staff very nice thanks again

Had a loverly kiyma naan bread with a lamb biryani was the best biryani i ever tasted apart from the one mum amd grandmother make i felt like i was eating some good super home cooked food . Dal was good stuff and tandoori CHicken my pAl had a vegetarian curry and was absolutely delighted with the taste guys were all such LOVERLY with service swell

First time at garden of India and well what can I say Mo and the staff are so welcoming food was fantastic, Mo you are a legend .. thank you for a great night..

Amazing and beautiful food, top notch!

Absolutely love Anouka it's a Pathia cooked in Red wine

Really nice food, the Sunday buffet is excellent. The staff were very good and we hadn't booked ahead so was unsure but no issues on this occasion. The food is top notch, they really put in the effort and it showed. Can't wait to go back. It's gone up a bit, but hey everything has recently!!

Popped in for a last min birthday dinner. The food was amazing as usual and moe let us try 2 dishes from the new smaller menu and it was amazing Music is always the best in here too ! Thanks moe for all u do xx

Great atmosphere friendly staff and fabulous food

I went to this restaurant for my birthday with family. The Sunday buffet was superb. The service was brilliant and they even gave me a bottle of wine as a birthday present!

Lovely food, had a 'vegetable doom' which was delicious best thing ive ever tasted, pilau rice, vegetable curry and samosas and chips all lovely best takeaway ever!!

Very friendly and food is amazing highly recommended

I ordered a takeaway for my family of 4 yesterday and the food was absolutely amazing I collected my food and staff was polite and friendly highly recommended.

Great curry with really quick service. Got charged for poppadoms that we didn't order but overall bill was okay. Big narstie popped in half way through the meal, apparently it's his local

Very disappointed normally good was cold onion dip had no dip with it for £32 not good

The food is fantastic but the true star is the owner. He is very polite and always makes you feel welcome. will never go anywhere else.

I can’t write enough words about how good this restaurant is from food to service absolutely faultless. I chose the Artful Dodger stunning and my mum chose a Jonny T amazing. I have eaten a lot off Indians and these ones are on a whole different level thank you. When I fly again from Stansted Ada in I will come and visit 👍👍👍

Dropped into this restaurant on a quiet Monday evening and loved it! All the dishes were really tasty and flavoursome, not too oily, good quality ingredients. The standout dishes for me were the lemon rice - zingy and delicious! - and the halloumi/spinach samosas... they were small and expensive but the filling was so fresh and perfectly balanced I was almost tempted to order a second portion. Service was great too. Wish I lived nearer, would love to return!

Two Americans who lived in India collectively for six year and we loved the food. Quite upscale and creative. Rich flavors. Amazing naan. Not hip, but classically nice atmosphere down to small touches (like warmed plates) and slightly innovative twists on Indian fare that was so delightful.

Ate with with my mother reunion, 15 minutes away from Stansted. The second best curry I have ever eaten in England. The first one was a Michelin star. This place needs to be visited. Hospitality faultless. Can’t wait to come again

Visiting the area and was looking for something special. Garden of India had an original menu with some innovative twists. We were not disappointed in the slighest. Staff were welcoming right from the start. Food was absolutely delicious (there is enough choice to suit various budgets) and was piping hot. Quality will usually come at a cost, but didn't think the prices were unreasonable. It seems that 1 negative review per year over the past number of years is just proof that humans are fallible. Staff went above and beyond to make the experience pleasurable and am sure a quiet word in the manager's ear would be acted upon. Wish we lived locally to make this restaurant a regular stop. Thank you Garden of India.

Banging India restaurant. Highly recommend. Mo is a great host too

Absolute 5 star, food was the best Indian I’ve ever had and the chap there (sorry didn’t get a name) went above and beyond making sure I had exactly what I wanted (halloumi curry) would definitely recommend and definitely return when in the area again.

Not eaten here before thursday, 100% i will be back, food was spot on and the nutella naan ...... wow, what a great creation!! Staff were lovely, place was clean and shiny

Onion bhaji was burnt.. rice was cold waist of money

I have been visiting the garden of india for over 15 years. Mo is an extremely welcoming host who will cater to whatever requirements you may have. The staff are always on hand to help and the restaurant has a strong family vibe (as my 8 year old will agree with) the menu is vast and certain dishes can be whipped up to suit your taste buds. We are always welcome at the garden and long may it continue.

I have known Mo for over 15 years and from the first time we met he has been nothing more than a great host. Still to this day we frequent the garden as the food and atmosphere is excellent. My 8 year old son now has this as his place to dine out. Keep up the good work all.

Called last minute to grab something to eat while in the area. Such friendly service and made to feel very welcome. Lovely food and lovely service.

From the second we walked in we were welcomed like family. Mo and his team are beyond compare. Absolutely beautiful food and cooked to perfection. Everyone working here is a delight - so enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate about the food they create and serve. Their charity work goes unnoticed but is vitally important. As a 'northen' family we couldn't have asked for anything more xxxx

Absolutely beautiful food...cooked to perfection...staff are absolutely delightful,friendly and welcoming..I was also pleasantly surprised to learn this restaurant donates a take away meal for a family of 4 every month to a local charity that supports women and children fleeing domestic abuse. This a business I would loyally continue to support being as they pour back into the community. Had a takeaway this time but upon collection was wowed by the stylish and pristine restaurant...I'll definitely be eating in next time! Also there is a bar which was generously stocked. I can see us having a wonderful evening here

Food was really amazing, staff was truely welcoming.

Unplanned visit!!! And was a wonderful time Food was very nice Waited a bit longer for someone to take our order It was all worth the wait though I enjoyed the cocktail and it was a cal friendly atmosphere

Really good Indian restaurant, all the normal dishes plus a great list of chef's specials. Friendly, attentive staff and prices are pretty good too. If you like your food properly hot and spicy try the Ron Mirchiwala, excellent dish.

Average Indian, good flavours, but got busy so service suffered

We ordered chicken and lamb beryani. Portion was generous and quality of food was great. Thanks

Excellent all-around. Food top class, service top class.

Ordered on phone to be delivered. We paid by card over the phone. When I realised I had been over charged, I called to query this. The boy was rather rude saying:nah, your wrong" even though I had the website up in front of me. The food turned up cold and the bread was chewy. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because it turned up quickly.

The best Indian food in the area. The owner take care of all customers. Try it, I found it very good!

Mo and the team are truly wonderful. Making you feel welcomed, special and valued. Food is truly amazing, we tried a couple of the specials including a chicken and lamb dish. We were so full that we took some home so had a curry night later in the week. All food is very fresh, full of flavour and clearly prepared with ❤️ love

Food is delicious and very plentiful.. needed to take home a doggy bag! Staff and service are great too! would recommend.

We popped in for the Sunday Buffet and were looked after nicely by Mo & his team. Garden of India is a league above the rest.

My wife and I visited on our way to Stansted Airport and if/when we are in the area again, this will definitely be a place to consider. The service was very attentive without being too effusive and all the staff were very polite and pleasant. The menu had a lot of interesting options aside from the usual things you might see. We explained my wife's dietary preferences and these were catered for without fuss or question. The service time between courses was long enough to not feel rushed and not so long that it felt slow. The food itself was top notch and the portions were well sized i.e. not too big, not small. Therefore we did not have too many leftovers 😉. This restaurant obviously takes great pride in the quality of their offerings.

Visit to this place was an absolute winner for me in Harlow. I enjoyed my meal and most importantly the service too. Genuine people and lovely food with great atmosphere. The place is air conditioned so a bonus during these hot evenings. I look forward to taking my extended family and friends there soon again. Thank you.

Wow, the food is absolutely beautiful, the service is fantastic and Mo he is a gem, we don’t come here that often but we are always treated like family. Thank you guys for another lovely night.

Found this place on trip advisor. Was working in the area so I thought I would try it. Was pleasantly surprised. The decor was beautiful. The staff were friendly. But the food was phenomenal . We tried items off the Nashta menu . Small tasting plates every dish was exquisite. The owner was a funny man. Walking around making every one laugh . Which I thought was strange . Also I asked for S club 7 to be played he denied my request. Definitely visit again .

Ordered a Cheese Nan, Keema Nan, was gutted to realise what i ordered there was very little Cheese or Keema, Complained to Staff, they were rude and arrogant, told me to go and eat elsewhere. Asked for refund, Staff refused, Will not be coming back here again. The music played was lame and stupid, playing opera music what the heck.

What a fine establishment. Had a meal here with my family and I cannot fault the restaurant at all. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very tasty food accompanied with impeccable service. Highly recommend to all! 10/10

Absolutely beautiful meal,such tender flavoursome Chicken,my sister had Sag King Prawn again really tasty with big juicy prawns, will definitely be coming back and recommending it to my friends .The service was very polished. A lovely experience 😀

Lovely welcome at this restaurant. The food is so good I had chicken tikka it was so succulent and flavoursome. Great friendly staff and excellent service.

What a gem! Mo & his team know how to get the taste buds fired up, you'll want to come back, especially for the meat samosas! Try eat your way through the menu -ita alot! Keep up with the shell downs pure vibes x

One of the best indian resturent in Harlow

Dirty table cloth, awful food, terrible atmosphere. Lose the rap music.

The most expensive Indian meal I’ve had in 40 years… I’m astonished, Harlow essex, not a affluent area but saying that the food was nice. Shouldn’t moan about the price but it’s astonishing high and I’m not short on money I just can’t fathom how...

Mo and the crew are very friendly, welcoming and hospitable – and the food is amazing! Well worth making a special journey for :o) I'll be back there as soon as poss...

A 8 hour round trip always worth it thanks see you again

really good food and i would come back again ,service is really good!

Went last night food was incredible staff so friendly will be coming back very soon the prawn shashlik was spot on !

Very busy, waited half hour for someone to take our order. Food was great, drinks very expensive!

Typical Indian restaurant, delicious food, unique service, charming, beautiful location, couple looking for romance?? Go there!

Excellent fresh, tasty quality food. Lovely unique chefs dishes. Good friendly staff and owner Mo took time to chat, thanks. Clean and nicely decorated. Thankyou for a fantastic experience. Deserve to be in business.

Great staff, nice atmosphere with lots of families celebrating birthdays - and complimentary birthday dessert which was a lovely gesture. Naans were lovely and fluffy, sizzling chicken and boozy wings tasty but two prawn dishes were a bit bland. Overall a nice meal.

Really nice,food was excellent, first time for me, definitely go again

We had a warm welcome when we arrived at Garden of India. The staff are always pleasant, the atmosphere was great and the food was absolutely delicious. Well done, keep up the good work

Having moved away from Harlow in 2021, this was our first return visit since then & we weren’t disappointed. We met up with friends yesterday evening & choose the buffet menu , for all four of us. From starters to mains , the food choice...

Really good food. Great with kids and very friendly staff. Thank you

Really good food, would recommend the Rowdy Brown to anyone. Really friendly staff, good prices. Family enjoyed themselves. Came away feeling full.

Great food good service, best Indian meal we have had in Harlow for a long time Thank you very much

Fantastic good. No faults, however, it is quite expensive food for what you get. Drinks and poppadoms especially .

Went for the buffet and was told it was a set menu and sit down buffet, I’ll be honest wasnt to fazed by this. Was offer popadoms which we thought would be included in the price but wasnt. Most of the staff were lovely and the food was very good. The owner couldn’t do enough for you even if u ask for a dish to be amended! The only disappointing parts where the waiter who cleared our table make us very uncomfortable that we left a lot. We did tell them the reason we came for a buffet was so the kids and us could try new items.the other let down was the price for drinks! We ended up paying nearly the same amount for drinks as the meal! Overall the food was lovely and nearly all the staff it would just be the price of drinks that would make us hesitant to come!

On the advice of friends, we visited this wonderful place. An amazingly beautiful place. Cozy atmosphere. The room is clean and beautiful. Delighted with the delicious food.

visited this beautiful restaurant on sunday the 8th of January . everything was exemplary up until we had a rude immature young waitress with black hair, ruin it. We asksed for the manager but another young blonde waitress came over and apologised on her behalf....

Always enjoy visiting the garden of india, great food, great atmosphere and spectacular service! I would recommend this place to a everyone!

Sadly disappointed withbthebtaste of my dish, I had tika masala, instead of tasting sweet was very very salty. Not nice at all, ordered pashwai and a garlic nan, were mixed up rather than separate. Others in the group were happy with their food, manager is lovely. But won't be returning.

Very very expensive, cold food waited for rice after main dish for 10min . Would not recommend or return

Great decor and ambience. Service was good as was the food.

Thanks to Mo and the team for another fantastic meal. Never left here feeling hungry or disappointed. Joe & Su

EA Christmas curry night just a few of us having a ruby marry before we get stuck into the Turkey lovely place

Ordered a lamb vinderloo rice and sag aloo garlic naan and chicken tikka starter lamb was tough sauce was bland not very spicy and way to salty chicken was good and rest so so very expensive for small potions.

Extremely disappointed, the food was cold and had to be reheated, the nann breads where very soggy and could not be eaten.wont be ordering from there again

Took meal away, did not have to wait long for my order. Throughly enjoyed my meal, everything was freshly made. To the white haired guy waiting too. You were spot on, best Indian ever.

Amazing. Perfect service, perfect food, perfect staff, it was all in all brilliant and a completely unforgettable experience. The staff were so kind, the service was fast and we are definitely coming back. My whole family agree that it is the best place in Harlow...

Wasn’t bad … wasn’t the best Was one of the most expensive I’ve had and I’ve visited many Indian restaurants Wouldn’t say don’t go , but be prepared to pay that bit more

Great, couldn't fault it. My new go to Indian restaurant in Harlow.

Nice food 😋 pricey but you get quality.

Friendly staff, good food, parking was difficult thr evening we want, bit slow taking our order but food arrived quickly

This is place to go for great food and atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and made you feel welcome. The music playlist was spot on with the 80's soul. We will be returning very soon

Nice food, just quite expensive 🫰

Went for a buffet to which we got told its different to everywhere else ..... basicly its a set menu at a high price. There was no way we could eat all the food which was nice just oily but had paid for then told we cant take home what we couldnt eat/paid for because they give it to a homeless guy and charging a 8yr old who had 2 poppadoms n about 3 bits of meat £13 is a ripp off even if he blackcurrant was free. Most places offer £15 free choice menu which is alot better deal. Maybe lower the price and advertise a set menu because a buffet means order what you want and how much you want. Your offering a set menu

Booked at Raj, Old Harlow only to find they are shut on Mondays and defer to Bush Fair. After a phone call (as onine reservation confirmed!, apologetic and advised to come to Bush Fair restaurant). Good food, good service, reasonable pricing. Nice evening, not spoiled by redirection. Will eat here again.

Beautiful food perfect service x

Love this place amazing food, Mo is a great really friendly and couldn't decide what I wanted as wanted to try something new, so Mo asked me what heat level i liked and asked if I liked certain things and ordered for me and wow nailed it lol what a great meal. Will obviously go back again and would highly recommend, got to be the best Indian restaurant in town

Amazing time amazing food amazing customer service. I can really recommend the place to anyone looking for top quality indian cusine.

Brilliant food and very friendly staff, I have now found my new favourite Indian restaurant and I would definitely be visiting in the future to eat in and take away. (Update sept 2022)...still got the best food around, excellent staff, prices and they now they have the garden of india app for savings and online ordering, highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. Just check the reviews.
