Kismet in Colchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent food, Excellent service. Biryani was amazing 😋😋😋

So disappointed with last night's order. Have been eating from here for a while, but like many curry houses this place has begun dropping its standards. I ordered a chicken vindaloo and was appauled to find it only had a few scrappy bits of chicken and the rest bulked up with potatoes. We all expect a few bits of potato as is tradition due the misunderstanding of "aloo" in the name, but they've flipped it to a potato dish with small amounts of meat now. Kismet! You've just lost a family of four customers. Bravo.

Good portions, tasty and great price

Always fantastic food,definately the best curry house for takeaways...not had a bad curry from here yet

Brilliant. Fast delivery. Tasty. Hot. Recommend!!

Had the meal for one. Superb, excellent value, loads of food for the money. Delivered hot. Very good quality chicken

I like this place ordered about 5 times and haven't been disappointed... it's not exactly fine dining but they knock up a good bit of food for the price 😊

Ooooooo my god wot a fantastic curry thank u very much for great food people u need to order a curry from these guys thanks

We had a great takeaway from here food was good hot and service quick

Great Indian meal, delivered hot and prompt, delicious

Over 2 hours to deliver!!! food COLD very poor service. Avoid at all costs

These boys consistently deliver a decent curry. Always deliver on time and advise if running late. Pleasant and helpful.

Absolutely disgusting service. Ordered at 7.10, currently 10.30 and still no food. Phoned at 9.04 and was told it would be leaving the restaurant in 5 minutes and it would have only been a 6 minute drive so definitely lied to as well. Steer clear unless you want your money and time wasted

Absolute joke. Waiting for 5 hours for 2 curries that didn't come. Keep clear of this place.

Been ordering from here for 10 years now but tonight was a huge let down. Don't get me wrong, the food is always good, but after waiting for more than 2 hours for my order to arrive, I don't expect to have to reheat my food in the microwave! It ended up being delivered by a taxi more than an hour after I should have had it. If you have too many orders coming in then either restrict the ordering system or manage the customers expectations correctly to avoid disappointment! Very poor service tonight. 31/12/2020 - ordered again despite the previous poor service. I completely understand that it's new years eve but I pre ordered for delivery around 8.30 and it is now 10.35 and I am still waiting!!! I even called them at 6pm to confirm my order as I hadn't had confirmation from Uber eats. I have now tried calling more than 40 times, only to get an engaged tone every time. Have ordered from elsewhere and yet again I'm disappointed in kismet for their poor service.

Great food, friendly service, Excellent price

Food is highly admirable. Authentic Indian. Very good customer service. Will be back.

Best balti in town...Trust me best curry house in town...ive tried most!

Kismet never fails to deliver top quality food. Best Indian in Colchester.

Has to be the worst Indian in colchester, normally go taste of India, thought I would try a new one and wish I didn't! The keema rice is green with no flavour and the lamb never seen anything like it, stay away

AVOID!! We ordered from here for the first time and saw the google reviews so had high hopes only to be let down. Our Currys were watery and mild but the worst part was we found a long black hair in one of our dishes. When we phoned to tell them they refused money back or to swap the dish they then hung up on us. Would avoid this place at all costs and would not recommend to anyone!

My friend.. order a take away on the..22/8/20 ... having looking at the ratings ...he order a prawn curry pilau rice nan bread etc..he said the prawn curry was foul...he had to bin the lot of it .he said ..not good..not fresh... Never again

Deliciously tasty freshly made and always generous portions. Thank you

After searching long and hard for the very best Indian cuisine in Colchester - I finally found it some time a go and have never visited anywhere else since. This review is well over due and I feel ashamed to not have left this sooner. Admittedly it’s a take away - not a restaurant......but I live very close to it and it works perfectly for me. The flavours are amazing and the incredible food makes all other local Indian restaurants pale into insignificance. The service is always very polite and I’ve never waited more than 20mins to go and collect my food and it’s always piping hot when I get home. Their Sunday - Thursday ‘Banquet Deal’ is amazing too. I have chicken tikka starter, pilau rice, chicken madras, Bombay aloo and popadums with chutney.....all for £11.50! Astonishing value for such amazing food. I’d happily pay double for that!! Bravo 👏🏻

Beautiful good fresh great service always

Nice food but level of hotness of curries varies.

Best Balti I've had in a long time, better then your usual standard takeaway. Quick service and great quality, will definitely be recommending

Takeaway order. Really nice food and big portions. Everything tasted fresh and was piping hot on arival. 15 minutes late but when the food tastes this good i really dont care. 9/10.

Amazing food friendly staff. Saves me after long weekends at uni. Thank you x x

Excellent, wouldn't go anywhere else in Colchester

Awful, uncle Ben's style sauce! Vindaloo wasn't even madras hot. Naan looked like they were out of a packet. Avoid

Very disappointed! The korma sauce was so runny it was like water! & the chicken was un edible! Would not recommend. Will not be ordering again.

Great food and well priced. Never had a bad experience and the staff are friendly. Best Indian takeaway in Colchester.

i honestly do not understand the bad reviews! i have been here multiple times and the service has been fast , the food amazing and hot , i have no errors with the place! definitely worth it , their naans are lovely and the chicken tikka baltis are fantastic.

Waited an hour and 10 minutes on a quiet Monday evening. And when it arrived it was cold, taste less and to top it all off, when I dished it up there was a puddle of water on my plate from the rice. I actually can't believe it was such a bad meal that I couldn't even eat it so threw it in the bin. what a waste of money! Never have I had such a bad indian takeaway. My advice stay well clear of this establishment as they clearly don't know how to cook!
