Mother of India in Havering

Fantastic chicken madras, the best in town. Great service from the staff to add to a lovely evening. Would recommend a visit if you are in Hornchurch

Eaten here many times and the food is consistently good. The chicken is always fresh and perfectly cooked. The Murghi Masala is superb as are most of the dishes. Next to the Hop Inn for a pre-dinner drink and a perfect night out. Recommended restaurant with friendly staff.

Great service, lovely curry, especially the chicken jalfrazi. Will 100% be back again. Very underrated restaurant and a very nice and welcoming owner

Mixed review for this Indian I’m afraid,eating in has been decent in the past, had takeaway 3 times and it has been bad all 3 times & nothing like when eating in! It’s almost like they order it from somewhere else

Gad take always from here many times. The food is always consistently good. Unfortunately this week we noticed that the take away containers for the side dishes and rice were much smaller than normal? Very unimpressed that they are now really small side orders - cutting portion sizes is a fast route to cutting customers satisfaction levels - probably order from a different restaurant next time, which is a shame as we’ve always enjoyed the food here.

Second week running ordered take away from these guys...... and the food is absolutely amazing, honestly not one fault. Food is amazing, delivered on time and reasonably priced.......I'll definitely be back for my Saturday night take out. Thanks fellas 👌

We had dinner ordered across the menu a variety of things. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive and the food was excellent, light fluffy naan bread, all delicious without being too heavy. I would definitely recommend and will be going back.

On arrival at the restaurant we were greeted with a friendly staff member and shown to table. We ordered drinks and had poppadums to start. Nice selection of dishes to choose from . When food arrived it looked so good. The flavours were good.

Our friend booked the table after hearing good reviews. We arrived on time and was promptly given the drinks menu. I ordered a large red wine and the waiter said, Why don't you buy a bottle? I said because I just want a glass. When we were ready to order we decided to be adventurous and have chef specialities... I asked the waiter to recommend one out of two and was advised the Shaktora and I asked for it to be spicy and we asked for the naans to be well done. My curry was not spicy, the naans undercooked and my curry had some kind of fruit in it. I told the waiter that I would not have ordered it if it had fruit in it , he offered to cook something else but by now I didn't want another dish. The other dishes were not great either and the rice was stodgy. They did eventually take the price of my curry off the bill and gave me a free bottle of wine but this has not encouraged any of us to come back. This is such a shame as it is a nice comfortable restaurant.

Can't fault it thanks so much my first onion free curry made for me I'm so glad to have asked brilliant staff kind and helpful definitely try it

Had a table booked but had to cancel as a few have fallen to the bug so orderd a takeaway online and getting a 20% discount. The food turned up nearly on time but was worth the wait we had 6 different mains and all were spot on. As good as I have ever had and ive been eating indian food for 40 years.

Honestly, I cannot believe how rude the person on the phone was. Our order took an hour and 20 minutes. Then an item was missing. Then we had a hard piece of what I can only describe as wood in our meal. When I called the restaurant, whoever I spoke to, hung up on me! I am disgusted!

Take away food .Flavours good but most will deliver popadoms for free without asking .price is more than avarage .

We ordered a collection takeaway with Tandoori Chicken and Tandoori king Prawn from the main meal selection. We have eaten-in and had take-away from this restaurant often in the past and for the most part it has always been good (occasional blips). However, we have never ordered Tandoori King Prawn as a main dish before but for £10, we did expect to receive more than TWO normal-sized PRAWNS (I say this in case you think they were extra large which would have perhaps been justifiable) - I think the portion size was disgraceful ! The Tandoori Chicken portion was also just one VERY small chicken leg - just the one. I regularly order Tandoori chicken when we have Indian food and I have never received just one piece before. The restaurant also do not offer complimentary poppadoms with relish when you order any more. For the price charged, I do not think it was value for money and will sadly now be looking elsewhere for a local takeaway restaurant

Ignore the reviews which moan about the length of time they wait for takeaways I have eaten here several times and one of the reasons you might have to wait is because everything is cooked from fresh. I have sat and watched the kitchen open and seen the chef at work throwing in the various spices from scratch. The results are fresh and delicious tasting food. I've also been in for takeaways and seen the same. Once lockdown is over we will be going back.

Sadly we went for a meal here we received bad service the food took a long time and extras were added to our bill that we didn’t even order! Watch these guys!

Absolutely awful experience on New Year's eve. Food was due to arrive at 8 15. Called at 9 15. No apology, was told to wait 25 more minutes. Called 35 minutes later, he said 'just wait another 5,10, or 15 minutes, something like that.' They...

Terrible place, do not order from here! Was due to arrive at 19:20, did not arrive until 20:25. Called the restaurant multiple times and said three times it’s on its way. Missing dishes. Ordered a vegetable Naga and chicken curry arrived and one of our...

Nice food arrived on time , forgot onion bahjis I gave them a call and they delivered them pronto. Good portions..

The first time we went, it had just opened and was quiet. The owner welcomed us and we enjoyed it - see earlier review. Then we went again and it was busier - the food was good and again we enjoyed the night. We recently...

Went here for first time with two friends last weekend sat down around 8:40, we had the usual poppadoms then a shared appetizer. The mains didn't arrive until way past 10 approx 10:20 which was a bit late. It was however very tasty but there...

Had a lovely dinner with my Dad Staff were very helpful with my allergies and I had the chicken tikka Balti cooked mild - Dad had chicken masala. The food was prompt and tasted great - beautiful flavours All food including rice and onion bajhi...

We recently ordered from Mother India again after having first tried them a few months back. I had been reading some of the reviews on here (some of which are rather uncomplimentary) and I honestly don't understand them. We made quite a big order and...

Service was poor, food was cold and got our order wrong, try to charge for something we ordered but never got

If you don’t mind waiting 3 hours for your curry, it’s worth a go. The food once it eventually came, was actually quite nice. We had a table booked for 7:30 and didn’t receive our mains till just before 10pm - after apparently winning lots...

We popped in here mid week, just to give it a try . Not exactly remote but a bit of a walk from the town centre ,or a bus ride. It must be extremely difficult for a new Indian restaurant to make an impression on...

This Restaraunt is a convenient stop when visiting family in Essex. From our one experience when they were quiet they obviously have a talented chef and we hope he stays for a reasonable time. Service was attantive. Good value. Food full of Indian Flavours

Have just returned from a birthday dinner. The staff were were welcoming. We had starters of salmon tiki a and masala fish, which were both excellent and the size of the salmon was more like a main course. The chicken on the mains of chicken...

Ordered a takeaway for the first time last night and it was amazing. A little over an hours wait (which we was told) but it was worth the wait for sure. Good tasty Indian food will definitely be ordering again. Thank you :)

Over 2 hour wait for a delivery. Nobody answers the phone. Waste of time. They tell you is out for delivery. 50 mins later nothing

Ordered a takeaway Arrived two hours after it was ordered. Items were missing and the quality of one dish was awful. Also, the whole order was not hot. I tried to ring the restaurant to chase the order they turned the phones off and when...

We ordered a delivery of two completely different curries and the curries we received were definitely not the curries described on the menu. The lamb on one of the curries was completely fatty and inedible. We called the restaurant to complain about the lamb they...

Saeed again looked after us and the meal was again, superb. Everything fresh, well presented and scrummy. This establishment is well worth a visit, especially as it has just received a prestigious award for culinary excellence. To date I can't fault this fantastic venue, well...

We had a takeaway from Mother India on Friday night for my sister's 40th Birthday. The food was amazing. She had been to the restaurant the previous week and enjoyed the experience so much that she wanted to try it again. I had the Paneer...

First time I have been to the restaurant and definitely not my last, service was superb and the food amazing, highly recommend this restaurant

Went here for the first time at the weekend, staff very friendly & introduced thereselves to us. Food & wine was excellent & good value. Will definitely return.

We actually visited in July but the Tripadvisor page was not up and running at that time. We had booked a table for 6pm following an event in London, however we arrived back n Hornchurch earlier than expected and the staff were more than happy...

Only had takeaway so far. But really nice flavours and quality meat. I was looking for a new takeaway to use. Will try out the restaurant for dining in as soon as I get a chance! Reasonable prices and a polite friendly service.

It’s so good! Authentic food and warm service (such service is not there even at Indian restaurants). Too good, a must visit...

Visited on Sunday evening just to see what it was like. Given a very warm welcome. All staff and decor very nice. Very extensive menu which was fully explained when asked, and all the food was really good. Looking forward to our next visit.

Best place to eat, all the food arrived hot and tasty as well as the good service we had from the restaurant.

Arrived on a whim and a prayer, but Saeed welcomed us with open arms and a menu that cuddled us with warmth, vigour and a madras type punch that will have me return for more. Congratulations on a business that doesn't scream 'come eat' but...

Excellent delicious food. We ordered a takeaway from Mother of India on 15th August. The order was taken promptly. The meal arrived piping hot. It is one of the best Indian meals we have eaten.
