Indian Night in Chelmsford

We've been using this restaurant for a long time now. Mainly for takeaways, and I have to say we have NEVER been disappointed. This food is out of this world !!! Always fresh, absolutely delicious , packed with flavour just divine. Honestly if you want consistently amazing food this is the place. Hats off to the chef's, this food is worth every penny. Thank you and stay amazing.

Ordered a take away and believe me there is nothing Indian about this restaurant. Me being Indian myself this food is so far off the mark and bad tasting, I could recommend a handful of better places to eat. Always be weary of a restaurant with 100 plus items on their menus (it could be 200 for all I know)

I can honestly say it’s the best food I’ve had by a country mile from anywhere. I’m a massive curry fan and this is my go to restaurant. Top quality.

Ordered tonight for a delivery. Food (Chicken Madras & Tikka Missala) was delicious, flavourful, and hot on arrival. The only downside was the chips (they were undercooked), and the poppadums were soggy. Would order again

Popped in last night to grab a little meal just for myself. Food was incredible and service was very fast. Highly recommend

Unfortunately the chicken tikka was rather tough without an enjoyable flavour. The other dishes were far too oily for my liking, but this could be down to personal preference! However a special mention to your male delivery driver. He was extremely polite, friendly and kind. Genuinely the best delivery driver in years.

they dont know how to make an Indian biriyani, ordered chicken biriyani ( just eat ) , ( lots of turmeric powder which seemed the rice and plate yellowish, tomato and some small piece of chicken! ) This is not the original flavour of Indian Biriyani . My God ! horrific

absolute terrible service from apparently the manager ALI terrible language awful service so rude be careful people this gentleman is disgraceful

Not recommended. No Indian feeling in food. Sorry, not recommended

Best curry I've ever ordered. A little more pricey than previous Indian food outlets but worth it. You get what you pay for. The naga cocktail- amazing sauce!

We often have takeaway (delivery) from Indian Night. We have not dined in here. We often joke that we moved to the area because of this fantastic restaurant. Super food and excellent sized portions. The Naan menu alone is staggering! We have never been disappointed with Indian Night.

My first experience of ordering at Indian Night and it will be the first of many. Ordered the food at 5pm and scheduled delivery for 18:30. I was shocked when it was delivered at 18:30 ON THE DOT. The food was piping hot, exactly as ordered, packaged really well and most of all probably the tastiest takeaway I’ve ever had. The food was top quality and full of favour. Honestly could not have had a better experience. Look forward to ordering here again and 100% recommend.

I always order takeaway from this restaurant. I really love the taste of the food from here. Chicken tikka biriyani is my go to food from this place. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Worth the money.

Very poor and cheap quality food Motor paneer is cooked with cheese Shame on Indian food Please respect Indian food

It was my usual takeaway and super, mixed cocktail Bhuna, shame there was not actually any fish in it but they more then made up for it with a very generous amount of contents.

This is no longer a restaurant. However it remains a quality takeaway with delivery service. The menu is extensive, to suit all tastes. The staff are very helpful.

Excellent service and staff, Rid was extremely helpful and provided a very good recommendation.

Lovely food, arrived in swift time for a busy Saturday night. Mr Rid provided excellent service

Lovely food. Been twice but not for a few years. Lovely service. Expensive. Only does takeaway now.

One of the best Indian restaurants for a takeaway we have ever used, always delicious food arrives on time pleasant delivery driver and food is always pipping hot, never let us down thank you Indian Nights

Have ordered delivery a couple of times when In Chelmsford. Food has arrived very quickly and has been tasty and hot. Not sure if the actual restaurant is as impressive as it does look like it could definitely use a lick of paint and a tidy up from the outside. Recommend for take away of basic Indian fare if you live in the Moulsham area.

Arrived... All closed up? No longer operating?

Used to love Indian Nights but when collected more recently building is really run down and had items missed on last order. Just looked at their Food Hygiene rating and is now 2! Will not be eating from here anymore which is ashame.

One of our favourite places to get our Indian take away from. Fair prices apart from their poppadoms! Price per popadom I think it too expensive so we never get them anymore. However their honey bengal is amazing and my favourite in Chelmsford.

Best king prawn jalfrezi ever!!!!!! Keep it coming

Nice food but miss the actual restaurant. Now it only dose takeout. Very disappointed seem as I’ve came here every week since it had opened.

Very good Indian take-away that, pre-pandemic, was a lovely restaurant. Crying shame the owners can't reopen as it once was. Food remains very good.

Absolutely disgusting - honestly you couldn’t find a worse place.To start with the car park was covered in rubbish - clearly hadn’t been maintained or swept for years. The outside of the building looks like it has been derelict for 20/30 years - half the top floor has fallen on to the pavement - the rubble of which has been laying there for months. The visit? Well, after entering what looks like a derelict building we where not Surprised to find a really grubby and old fashioned restaurant. The tables where sticky, my chair was covered in stains and the general decor was aged and tired. From peeling wall paper to thick dust everywhere. The meal was vile - we waited an hour for starters. Nobody came for drinks orders in that time. So we just got up and walked out. It honestly couldn’t have been any worse - the place should be shut down for health reasons.

Staying in Chelmsford I ordered from this restaurant, Foos looked OK I went for vegetarian based dishes. Had it delivered and I have to say, And no disrepect to the delivery guy but he looked dirty and not presentable more like a vagrant. I only had half of the Vegetable dopiaza and the poppadoms and a chapati and another vegetarian side dish I didn't like. 4 hours later I was sick and proceeded to have a night in the bathroom from both ends and for days I felt terrible, Aching body and headache and stomach issues for a few days. Rarely do I get a stomach bug but I can only put it down to this take away indian food. From the dirty looking delivery guy and the last review from a visiting customer I think the food hygiene need to have a look at this place.

Going by the outside of the building and car park, you would not want to eat here - dirty looking and so much litter.

Normally food is nice ....today can honestly say it was disgusting....the korma and the masala sauces were like wallpaper paste texture not at all creamy like they should be

Exquisite taste in each dishes made, friendliest staff I have come across in a very long time. Service was first class!!

Really great taste but unfortunately on two separate takeaway ( delivery) orders I had a dish missing. I was offered an email address after ordering to email any issues. I sent an email and after 24 hour I didn’t receive a reply. Will probably not order again as I am £10 down.

Just had our first takeaway from here tonight and just wanted to say it was superb. Arrived in 45 minutes, was really hot and the delivery driver was friendly. Food tasted great and gernous sized portions. Will be ordering again!

I’ve always heard good things about Indian Nights but I was disappointed. The butter chicken tasted nothing like butter chicken it was not buttery at all more like a tikka masala with a bit of coconut in. The saag paneer had one cube of cheese which appeared to be cheddar not paneer, it wasn't a squeaky cheese it had a stronger flavour and didn’t taste right to me on an Indian. For £4 how can you justify one bit of cheese too. Would not order again.

Don't let the overwhelming menu intimidate you! A few of us got a takeaway, and all of the currys were great. If you get some sides, and you are happy with just a few chunks of meat, (all our chicken currys had quite chunky pieces) you could easily split a curry between two people as there's plenty of sauce. The vegetable biryani most definitely served two! Really tasty and great service. Would order again for sure.

Can not recommend Indian nights enough!! Have been a long standing customer and will never look anywhere else. The service is always outstanding - Rid always goes above and beyond to make sure our order and experience is perfect every time.

I Decided to collect my food and was i in for a shock, Walking in to the restaurant was Rubbish outside broken tiles from some sort of water feature , Just walking in the carpet was not fit for the local skip. Then the food Chicken tikka mossala which had more colouring than a paint pot and the the chicken was never in a clay over if it was i'll eat my dog. looking at the takeaway menu showing awards then you look at the dates which was years ago. and 5 stars for hygiene award which must be fake. when seeing the state of this restaurant i should have gone with my gut feelings and walked away and saved myself £50

Best indian I have had since moving to Chelmsford. They must love cheese as much as us! We had cheese rice, cheese naan and was out of this world!

Had an amazing Tandori mixed fish meal for two tonight . Huge thanks to your chefs....great value as well thank you...

So I've been coming to this indian for years now and I've ordered a tandoori King prawn mossala. This dish is 13.95 I believe and you get 3 prawns! 3! Now if each prawn is £1 at most, I just paid over £10 for mossala sauce! Just shocking indian night. Im in shock

Used to be a decent restaurant pre COVID but last few orders have been terrible. Tonight’s food topped the lot. Was cold, mild, watery, congealed and the whole thing tasted of fish… even the keema naan bread! (There was no fish supposed to be on my order). Also found a large bone in my curry which I don’t mind but wasn’t stated on website so almost took a tooth ou. Honestly, one of the worst currys I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve had a lot. Gave two stars because the delivery driver was friendly. Won’t be ordering from here anymore, it’s a shame as food used to be really very good.

The outside of this building is a disgrace rubbish ,shopping trolleys ,brick rubble,and it has been like it for over a year now I would not want to eat here.

We ordered a curry one night and in our curry we found a metal scour. Thank God no one had swallowed 🙏 it we emailed indian night but no response and to top it all off the all the curries tasted the same .

I have been using Indian Nights for many years for my weekly takeaways, and eating in on occasions. The food used to be delicious, but recently the it has gone downhill. I ordered food on New Years Eve and received stale poppadoms, most of the sauce from my King Prawn Masala had leaked badly due to poor packing and the Sag Aloo had far more spinach than potato. You also used to get 3 very large prawns, but they have got considerably smaller over time. I think it is time to find a new indian restaurant! I would not recommend anymore.

Ordered directly through their website and 30 minutes later I get a call from the delivery driver complaining that it's freezing outside and to come find her. Now I live in a pretty developed area, with multiple entrances to my block of flats. When asked where she is so I can find her, she described her location as "I'm at the end of the street with concrete". When I told her to ring the intercom, she got even more pissed off at me and hung up. Food wise, it was cold, the rice was half empty and honesty looked like the pissed off delivery lady ate half my dinner.

Curry was tasty, service was friendly. The actual outside of the restaurant looked so run down, it puts you off eating there. Hopefully, they'll tidy it up soon.

Didn't deliver half my dinner. Pointless ringing to fight to get it delivered for the other half to have gone cold. The half I did have was below average. Why is it so hard to find a decent curry takeaway in Chelmsford

Hands down the best Indian I've had in a while, first time order couldn't be happier all the food was extremely tasty and hot when arrived, one item was missing on delivery but was very quickly delivered along with a lovely apology, staff were very friendly would 100% recommend

Superb. Get the cheese pakoras and cheese naan. Butter chicken also recommended.

I ordered a takeaway. Chicken tikka masala , mushroom rice,nan , and tarka dhal. The portion sizes were very good. The tika was ok, not bad but not great. The  mushroom rice was pretty bad , a large portion of pilau rice with added mushrooms.Fairly dry and not nice tasting.I ended up throwing half of it away. The nan was ok. The  tarka dhal was disgusting ,smelled unpleasant , the  lentils were hard and the sauce was a white colour. I tasted a small amount and then  threw it away . really disgusting and unappetising . The website says a discount for cash. I just happened to have enough cash in my wallet 2x£10 note sitting there for some time thanks to lockdown and covid so decided to use cash. The delivery guy asked me for the full price and I could not be bothered to argue over a few quid to be honest. I  was left wondering if he pocketed the difference. To sum up the main dish was ok , nothing outstanding but ok and a large portion. The rice was bad.The  nan was ok and The  dahl was disgusting and went in the bin. Plus I was overcharged with no cash discount as advertised. Very disappointing for the 5th best curry house in chelmsford.

Have had many takeaways from here and always delicious but tried to contact them re last night's takeaway and keeps getting rejected. There was a STAPLE?? In one if the curry dishes. First problem ever encountered but would've preferred to contact them directly? Seems you can't email any more

Went for the Chef’s specials! Prawn in red and Chicken in red!( not what they were called). 4 prawns, in a indistinguishable red sauce in a large container. About 4 pieces of chicken again in the takeaways favourite red sauce. Over £24 for a not very nice experience. Both dishes looked the same and lacked the main ingredient. I would doubt the ingredients cost £4. An experience not to be repeated!

We ordered Indian Nights via Deliveroo and I can say that it exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely amazing, especially the coconut, cheese and honey Naan bread! We ordered a king prawn Korma with Pilau rice, 2 Lamb Peshwairs (the lamb was so tender and tasted delicious!), coconut rice and Kashmir rice, a plain Naan, a Porata and some onion bhajis, which automatically comes with a sauce. All of the food was Amazing!! Will definitely be ordering again and would recommend to everyone!

Probably the worst customer service I’ve ever had, we ordered a takeaway from here on New Year’s Eve to which we expected a delay so we ordered the takeaway at roughly 5 o’clock expecting maybe a 18:30/19:00 delivery due to mass orders on New Year’s Eve. To our surprise Uber eats gave us the notification that the expected delivery would be roughly 18:15 so we waited till then and it didn’t arrive, so we checked the app and it then said they are busier than usual so it may be 18:50 which was fine as they updated us. Got round to 19:10 still no food or update so I tried to phone them on the provide number (which is the same number on every source of social media, website, tripadvisor etc) but no answer straight to user busy so I phoned again, and again, and again and then 166 more times (I wish I was joking) before giving up. On Uber Eats it gives you the option to say your food is late so we clicked that and it instantly updated to 19:50 so we waited and at 20:00 we had no phone and no answer. We requested money back on the app and they instantly sent a text saying sorry for the delay here’s £3 which fair enough they gave us money back but in reality it’s a £1 an hour they were late which were ideal considering the amount we spent on the takeaway. We were about to go McDonald’s and give up but at 20:50 our takeaway surprisingly showed up.. Moral of the story If you want a good Indian dinner I’d suggest walking to India and bringing it back before ordering from here. Driver was nice as pie though.

Absolute disaster of a company who seem to think it acceptable to deliver the order 1hour and 40 minutes late by which time we had ordered locally and sent their take away packing. Never will use again .

Ordered dinner at 18.20 and it’s now 20.15. The phone has been engaged for 40 minutes! Can’t get through to the restaurant to find out where our order is!!!! Very poor service.

Best asian food in Chelmsford. We tried Cocktail Bhuna and Indian Style Doner and were pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality. New dishes worth a try for anyone keen on asian flavour.

Great food. Crap delivery. Ordered at 6:30, the tracking says it was packed at 7:10. Now 8:37 and still no delivery. Both phones lines constantly engaged. Don't order from here for delivery

Went there for a take away. Very efficient service. Food good, quantities plentiful.

Tried this place last night as heard good things, only have one takeaway to go on but I was not disappointed. Our food arrived in 20 mins which is good going for a Saturday night! I ordered a signature dish; a 'Chicken Shatkori' which was like a saucier Jalfrezi with lemon wedges and less chillis which was full of flavour as well as a good spice level. Was unique and not like a lot of other places in Chelmsford where the curries only seem to differentiate on heat. Only gripe perhaps is paying £34 for 2 meals (2 x mains, rices, naans and poppadoms) which is a bit more than I would usually spend. But overall good quality and will try out the actual restaurant when things are back to normal!

If you can't get chicken tika right, then there's something wrong with either the staff or management. Chicken was old, hard and cooked way too long. I've never had chicken like this before. Will never eat from there again. A cheek to call themselves a good restaurant and takeaway. No passion what so ever. Shameful

We have eaten here in the restaurant on a number of occasions. The food and service has always been amazing. Prices are reasonable especially when you used in conjunction with their special offers. We decided to have a take away they have a special offer on of 20% off on a Wednesday. Our meal consisted of favourites and a few new dishes that are likely to become favourites. As usual portion sizes are generous, food well cooked and tasty. We had 2 poppadoms onion salad and coconut chutney, tandoori mixed grill, honey tandoori duck, saag aloo, mushroom paneer and a coconut, spinach and cream naan which was amazing. The whole meal was around £32.00 for two of us but still some left for tomorrow.

Best Indian restaurant in Chelmsford by an absolute mile. Great dips with the poppadum's and the starter/mains are really tasty. I would avoid their dodgy tribute act nights, but good aside from that.

We ordered a takeaway from Indian Night.Food was delivered really quickly and was piping hot.There are so many different options to choose from and there are lots of different discounts that can be applied depending on the day.For fantastic food, variety and generous portions, order from Indian Night.

We had been recommended Indian Nights by friends but we had never tried it before. We ordered a takeaway to be delivered and it arrived within 15 minutes, after we had been told online that it would take 40 minutes, which was brilliant and the driver was really friendly. The food was lovely, delicious, really hot and tasty and very plentiful. We will definitely order again from there and I'd really recommend it.

I hate leaving bad reviews and very rarely do, but I had a takeaway from here and it was cold... and very average... no lemon slice for the onion bhaji, no salad for the poppadoms... the chicken was generous and moist, but had a very strange, almost artificial tikka flavour to it, which was overpowering. Disappointed 😞

This is by far the best Indian in Chelmsford. I know of other people who come as far a Romford to this restaurant, it's on a similar par Tayyabs. The sides are out of this world!

Food was cold when arrived and only live 5 minutes away the nan bread was falling apart and the lid to our main was open so leaked all in the bag and food is overpriced

Really fast delivery, within about 15 minutes I think, food was top notch too. Ordered lamb madras and Chicken tikka, very tasty. Will definitely order from here again

I pre ordered via Just Eat delivery, Lamb Dhansak, Stuffed Piratha & Saag Paneer. It was all delicious up there with the best curry houses in Chelmsford the first time I’ve ordered from here and I’ll definitely come back. The lamb was very good quality no fat just nice tender meat with the dhansak sauce perfectly spiced. Was interesting to read on their menu how popular their saag paneer is they’ve made an option to have it as a main dish and I can see why it would compliment with anything. I didn’t order pilau rice but one did turn up I assume by mistake which was unexpected but a welcome bonus!

Never ordered a Indian Takeout since moving to Galleywood but decided I would give this a try for me and my Mum since I am currently on crutches and can't be bothered to cook. I had a Korma and my Mum Chicken Tikka Masala, with saag aloo, pomps, pashmina naam and rice. Korma was really tasty and not bland at all. Having previously spending several months travelling India and Sri Lanka I know my curry's. Although I still enjoy a non spicy curry it was not bland at all. I had Lamb Korma and the lamb just melted in my mouth! I am not usually a fan of Saag dishes but this was amazing! I could have eaten that on it's own it was soooo tasty! Delivered nice and hot! My Mum's chicken tikka was beautiful! Huge tender pieces of chicken (that had been marinated) and the sauce was thick and creamy! I can't fault this takeout! I put the wrong time into Just Eat and called the restaurant and changed it..... was a bit worried it would not turn up at that time and it turned up on the dot!! I am already craving this takeout!!! Can't fault!

£65 straight in bin every dish had same red base sauce, raw spice taste, totally inedible. worst indian take away i have ever had. dont know if this was one off but will never return to find out

Ordered take away for me and my son.food came quick,delivery driver was lovely food was amazing thank you

Best food i have seen ever. Service was fantastic.

Simply amazing food. These guys know how to cook. They are friendly and have one of the most in depth and comprehensive menus around. You will not be disappointed.

Poor food, warm, watery and not much flavour! Really disappointed only ordered from here because taj mahal shut, waste of money as couldnt eat it, should of had a mcds with my kids 😑 😤

We met the owner of Indian Night Restaurant and his two sons as they were buying a new Mercedes C Class. They were amazing people and we would definitely be coming to their restaurant for a meal. Thank you for the business and look forward to meeting you all.

Driven past this place hundreds of times, and this evening I decided to try the food with their home delivery.Oder given at 17:40 and told meal should be delivered inside the hour ,,it turned up 30 minutes later, piping hot and was not as expected from a local venue.IT WAS FANTASTIC Flavours were all new to me and very moorish , fresh tasting, no oily or greasy dished, super sauces with hints of citrus and chunks of cooked mince instead if gritty bits. TERRIFIC not cheap but extremely good value, beaten every meal I have had over the years in Brick lane... And saving bucks on travel and time.Will definitely recommend and will be eating more of their food from their extremely extensive menu.Well done to their night staff.

We as a family have used Indian Night for many years both as an eat-in venue and a takeaway service. Every time they have delivered top quality meals and great service. Their ingredients and spices are so fresh and their portion sizes are real generous. It doesn't seem to matter which chef is on they always deliver a top quality meal. They have always been accommodating to our requests, especially our preferred table, when we visit or call in but they also appreciate our custom as much as we appreciate their service.

Just had a take away from here and i have to say that this was the best tasting indian dish ive had. The food was delivered well on time and in line with social distancing measures. The food was fantastic, we had the chicken tikka madras which was great but we also tried the chicken tikka Rangila madras which was the best dish by far.whatever the chef does to make this differnet it works so well. Would highly recommend to all and will definitely be ordering from here again

As a treat my daughter and son in law order a takeaway from Indian Nights, last night for us. It was due to arrive at 7.30 but we were told could be 30 minutes late. At 8.15 spoke with our son in law who checked the order and told us it had been cancelled at 8, no idea why.So can’t comment on the food or anything as we didn’t get any.

Super tasty hot and good portion sizes. All delivered in time specified. To doorstep with contactless social distancing professional service Lovely would recommend.

Not very impressed, ordered a takeaway, it said 60 minutes, after 90 minutes I called them and was told they were busy and it would be another 20 mins. It arrived after 10 minutes but it turned out they had forgotten one of the main dishes, and wasn’t even hot. I then tried 12 times to get through to them without success, the last time I called the number wasn’t even going through. Wouldn’t use again.

Shocking service. Don't answer phone or text messages. I've been going here for years but NEVER again. The service and the food has gone down big time. The last takeaway we had was a curry - basically a tin of tomatoes with some meat. Extremely basic - standards have slipped!!! Will go elsewhere.

Order never turned up. Paid for over phone. Tried to call them but phone went through to message facility,N which was full. No surprise there then. Now trying to get money back from card company

As regular patrons we were again treated as if we were first time customers. Ruhel our waiter was attentive and very informative with regard to our menu choices. The food was superb and severed in very generous portions, after our meal we were able to relax, take time to digest our meal without being rushed to vacate our table, all the aforementioned will most certainly encourage us to visit again and to recommend to others.

Fantastic food and great service. Would reccomend. Now our favourite Indian restaurant in chelmsford

Fantastic meal and service. Rahul saw to us very nicely on our table, the wine was amazing, really nice Argentina Malbec, and you don’t get decent wine at many of the Indians I’ve been to recently. Food was faultless, good flavour to the Jalfrezi and decent portions. Will definitely return.

Lovely food, brilliant service! We were served by Ruhel who was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Food fantastic. Staff very friendly. ABBA entertaining!

Had king prawn korma and a fish curry, piazza naan with garlic and chicken fried rice. Delicious. Service excellent. A great meal out

It is a nice place to go eat, although we did go on a very busy evening. It took us a while to get the waiters attention to ask for a drinks top up, food was good, not the best of indians i have visited. They took ages to clear the table once finished and we had to ask for the bill a few times. But like i said it was a very busy evening and probably isn't a fair review. Entertainment was good. And overall it is a nice restaurant to go with friends. But i would avoid the busier times.

We ordered a take away, which took 2 hours to arrive and when it did the food was cold. Very disappointed with the service.

My wife and I always a fantastic meal, staff are fantastic with great recommendations, would recommend to everyone :)

First time there and impressed with the food. Very tasty. Also a good close up magician ( card tricks etc ) touring the tables who was great fun. Staff very attentive and polite.

Poor service less than average quality food extortionate prices for what was basically a very average Indian meal! Will not be back again!!

Fawlty Towers on Gourmet Night with Freddy Mercury the chef thrown in.

My god what a place a total nightmare rude staff and they overbooked so we had 11 of us on a small table the table next to us waited 2 hours for a main avoid this place

Excellent lunch. Great choice very tasty and good size portions. We went on. A Groupon deal and literally just had to pay £2 supplement for the king prawns. Also bought all we couldn’t eat do enough for supper too. Cauliflower bhaji was amazing
