New Indya in Southend-on-Sea

Lovely service friendly food Lovely

Rude rude rude what can I say . Not sure who it was I spoke to but was no good at customer service . Asked me what my problem was . I said I’ll go someone else then and he said yea go on then . So rude didn’t want to help at all .

Ordered a Naga and the waiter laughed at me and said that women don’t usually order that and that it would be too spicy for me. Continued to laugh and repeated “are you sure?” I asked if he would ask the same question to a man and he said no. I explained that I’ve always loved hot food and the hotter the better. It made me feel really uncomfortable. When the food came; he said “don’t worry, this is medium heat” which lead me to believe that the recipe had been changed for me. I found this quite sexist. I was also given a half pint glass for my beer when my male partner was given a pint. I just think the restaurant should be more aware of sexism and not make assumptions on palate preference based on gender. Other than that it was a lovely meal and the food was great but we were sat next to a hygiene rating sign which literally had grey and brown fungus spreading across it.

We eat here often the staff are exceptional and the food is lovely and you don’t have to pay silly Prices for alcohol you take your own love thismplace

Excellent food and perfect delivery time.

Good quality food as always and on time delivery.

Was a big order for 9 people, nothing was missing and they added a few extras (Popodoms & Pickles and Bombay potato) for free. Was fresh hot and delicious

Excellent food and lovely staff

The food was lovely but not very hot. Was also 45 minutes later than expected.

marked as delivered within the allotted time, but didn't turn up until ten minutes after.

One of the best indians ive had 👍

first time we have used here. we love a curry. this was excellent food. excellent service.

The flavours were lovely ordered lamb biryani and lamb jalfrezi if there was lamb bi there it was thinly sliced shame as was nice . Should have been advertised as vegetarian

great taste and reasonable delivery

very good tasty food all ways hot and on time staff and owner is great

very good food sat in restaurant few times and takeaway staff are lovely chat to you have a laugh very generous

all ways good experience and great food staff are lovely

ive ordered from here often always been my favourite but after last night i wont be back,my order was around £45 £6 on popadoms i forgot to order the sauces to go with them so i phoned the restaurant and asked if he could throw them in the bag he said only if i pay for them on the door i explained i had no cash the man on phone was extremely rude to me but did end up putting them in the order but when it came chicken extremely tough sauce was nice but no way worth the money

The food is always fresh, tasty and on time. My daughter loves the lamb curry. The only negative is the rice portion are quite small, but everything else is great .

Always great food from New Indya

We love getting takeaways from your restaurant it is always yummy. X

fantastic food and top quality delivery service, thank you

New Indya is the best Indian restaurant near Southend-on-Sea. The food is fresh, spicy and delicious. I ordered the lamb bhuna and the paneer tikka. They were both tender and juicy. The service was friendly and efficient. This is the best Indian restaurant nearby.

Food out of this world so pleased to get a take away actually worth the money.

Really good food, great delivery thank you.

Lovely place, would highly recommend! The food here is amazing & so Is the service. Take your own alcohol. Thankyou for a lovely meal !

Good quality food and friendly service thanks.

10 out of 10 , the food was perfect. Thanks again

lovely food x arrived on time x will order again

Good quality tasty food, a bit late arriving but possibly due to traffic issue. Will use again.

This has been my go to indian for a while now never had a bad meal always has been banging I highly recommend best Indian in Southend

I just wanted to say I had the most amazing takeaway from you last night. Thank you so much ☺️ Kind regards Lucy

Food was great, Nice portions. Speedy delivery.

Not bad but not good either. Overall an average experience with little to complain about in terms of food (but I don't get why they don't serve alcohol but allow it to be brought onto the premises -leading us to order, go and get beer from the off-licence around the corner)

we asked for mild spice for the spice fearing little boys and they delivered indeed

Best in town come try it great food great taste

I keep ordering and trying new dishes each time I order and have enjoyed everything we've tried. Really tasty food, good portions, always on time and free stuff on occasion.

Food was delivered a little later than expected but nothing to complain about, food was delicious and will be ordering again.

Sauces rather bland and disappointing

food was cold and wrong curry was sent

really flavoursome food. always early / on time. good value.

The biryani was too spicy for my wife, she orders them because they are not supposed to be hot.

Good food, and hot on arrival. Perfect thanks

Lovely people, very polite and kind. Great food. You can bring your own alcohol. I would recommend the orange sorbet

Absolutely lovely always good food from here

Food and staff very good , good value.surroundings a little tired but we went for the food

Food was a bit bland , great Keema naan though

Food was small in portions and it wasn’t very hot and it was more than we normally pay but having said that it was tasty

Excellent as always. Thank you!!

Order from here at your own risk. Staff are rude, and unwilling to listen. Ordered a takeaway, according to the restaurant they waiting and rung the door bell for 15 minutes while calling my mobile. Yet neither my doorbell nor my phone rung once. Apparently they also knocked which also was not heard once. They man that answered the phone was rude, unwilling to listen and repeatedly spoke over me.

Staff lied! Cannot be trusted and completely rude. Never have I experience this abysmal, insulted service in my life. Apprently they waited for 15 minutes and rung my phone, yet I do not have a single missed call and no one rung my doorbell.

Great food taste is amazing only thing is that ask for mild to be cooked and do to hot put in notices but never read so that's why it's a 4 star very important to read the note people leave as could be some one who can't eat serton food

One of the best curries I have ever tasted! So easy to collect and the staff were so lovely!

Had a large group booking and the service was amazing!

Quick delivery and very nice food

Perfect as always with these guys. Always consistent. Best endian around.

Food delivered promptly and hot, which allowed us time to eat the starters and enjoy the meal, not oily, very favourable courses, very enjoyable indeed.

Delicious curry. Must be one of the best in town.

Great food, delivered hot. The only thing was the onion Barrie’s were over cooked an not edible. Everything else was great.

Lovely food and great portion sizes 😁

Bit of a mix up with delivery address which was totally my fault! When food did arrive it was hot and delicious will definitely be ordering again! Restaurant was totally understanding and driver happy with £10 pound tip.

They are not delivering food on time and there service is terrible. The delivered the food after 2 hours for 2.5 miles and the food is too cold to eat..I don’t recommend to order any food from here.

Lovely food but only problem papodoms we’re stale

First time using excellent quality food really flavourful and fantastic service and delivery

Really disappointed in the food, usually it’s great but tonight it was so salty that I couldn’t eat mine, so it ended up in the bin. my husbands was ok. I had a chicken tikka masala with pilau rice, which is what I always have. Very disappointing

The meal I ordered was dry and tasteless, not up to their usual standard, and so I will never order from them again.

Restaurant was really helpful arranging our dinner to ready ahead of schedule.

Great food - best Indian we’ve had in the area

Superb food, best we've had for a long time. Arrived hot and fast. Will definitely order from here again.

Hot, delivered fast, and great food.

Doesn't look much from outside ,but food and service was outstanding and you can take your own booze

The meal was delivered almost 30 minutes after the original estimated timeslot without update nor apology. This was disappointing as we regularly order from this establishment and they are normally very reliable. The food was tasty enough but spoilt by being barely hot (and reheating by microwave is a recognised food hygiene risk). Let's hope it's a one off.

Absolutely the best Indian takeaway we've had for some time!

Everything was very good as always.

This ain't the restaurant. The restaroant is awesome. This is on the Just Eat side of things. Not first time either. Just Eat sucks.

Was really good, will order from them again!

Ordered an omelette and chips for the other half, he got about 4 chips and the omelette must have been made with 1 egg, I had chicken korma that was lovely, coconut rice was cold, naan breads were nice, sorry honest review won’t be using again but some bits were good .

Always boiling hot, always flavourful and amazing portions! The free Bombay potatoes on the house was a lovely touch and the extra poppadoms! Always tell everyone how amazing the food and service is, will never go anywhere else! Thank you

Delicious meal delivered hot and on time by a very pleasant delivery person.

Great food, really enjoyed it but turned up 15 minutes late

We recently placed a large order for 8 people and were really impressed with the quality of the food and service. The food all arrived on time, it was piping hot and was really delicious. Thank you New Indya. 👍😋

Had this for the first time last night. Absolutely exquisite - duck in puri and a chicken asari. Naan was delicately done and the best peshwari ive had in ages. bosh

I just took a take away(initially wanted to dine in but found the man to be rude) I order lamb and veg bhuna and 2 garlic naan and specifically requested the naan to be made thin and crispy but it was made thick and soggy. Curry was also sweet and disgusting. Overall bad taste !

It’s the worst delivery experience I ever had And worst answer I get from the restaurant

Excellent bang on time nice and hot lovely food 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Great service, food delish except onion bahji not the best x

I have been visiting this curry house for over 15 years, I havent found anywhere else that can match the price, portion sizes and the large menu choice in Essex. It's great you can bring your own drink as I tend to visit in large groups and saves so much on the bill when splitting it as your not paying £4-6 for a beer. Owner and staff are very friendly and provide a great service. The Chicken Morissa is a firm favourite of mine.

Great food always lovey and tasty

Delicious meal delivered piping hot and exactly on time by a very pleasant delivery person. This establishment must be one of the best places in town for Indian cuisine.

Lovely and hot could just do with a bit more flavour

Ok nothing spectacular nothing terrible

Very tasty and delivered quickly, will order again!

Always excellent food. Tasty, got lots of flavour.

I ordered a chicken dish which was absolutely packed with generous chunks of chicken, and with a delicious sauce, potatoes which were perfectly cooked, soft but not mushy and plentiful, mushrooms which were rich and flavourful and an enormous soft fluffy naan. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious, and large portions ....the only disappointment was my poppadom and mango chutney starter as it was literally one single poppadom in a bag...every time I order poppadoms I get more than one, so I won't order that again! However, apart from the poppadom I was really happy with the quality and quality of the food and I will definitely order again and try some other dishes 😊
