Purbani Tandoori Restaurant in Waltham Forest

Ordered from here tonight, was quite a large order and everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you!

I don’t know why I went here. Took my wife and kids there and ordered excited. But the food was raw. They begged us to take the food off the bill and replace with something else. I was so put off with the chicken being raw. We left the place hungry and kids not eaten. Lucky no one got food poisoning. Had to order pizza instead. This place should be ZERO stars!

What a waste of time and money, wanst even busy inside, yet the customer service was very poor, we thought we would give it a chance, but it was striked when the food came out so bland and covered oil, to salty to taste, and when we asked the waiter to change the food, he said its how it comes, the proceeded to walk away, came back with the same dish, when I already said I wanted to change, we left.

Absolutely wonderful food yet again . Cant fault this place we only visit 2 or 3 times a year but are always given a very warm welcome

We used to order from Purbani for 25 years up until COVID lockdown. Since then the food has been disappointing. We have given the restaurant a try a few times since 2020 but it was never great. Tonight we thought we would give them one last try and the meal was dreadful…. No flavour whatsoever… it makes me want to cry because for 25 years the food was consistently great… £47 down the drain tonight. I’m very sad.

Not once has my food been delivered on time. & there explanation is they only have one driver. Will not be ordering from this shop again

Lovely place the food & atmosphere is spot on & staff is so friendly highly recommended

Solid local Indian! We enjoyed our food here with the lovely service

Nice place, nice food and a good service. Can't ask for anything more.

Fantastic family run restaurant. We love our visits.

As a regular customer, the quality of the food, the flavour and the excellent service keeps me ordering again a d again.

By far the best curry in the area. The resteraunt is the best, the waiters are the best solid people will always talk to you and treat the regulars like royalty, a true family run resteraunt.

So we ordered a takeaway tonight soon as they opened! It arrived and half the order was wrong! They rectified it by bringing the correct stuff but obviously the rest had gone cold! When we opened the chicken tikka Masala’s they had 7 pieces of chicken which were hard tasteless and the rest was watery sauce! Very disappointing! At £9.95 per dish don’t expect that! Won’t be ordering from here again! Oh and not even a complimentary poppadom!!!

All the curries and the different types and flavoured rice were exceptional. Reasonably priced too

Worst meal we have had from here. Waited over 2 hours for delivery. Half was warm and no taste at all and hard prices of chicken. Onion bhaji was 3 shrivled up rounded thins in a paper bag which were just warm. Was told it was very busy and was rushed. Even if it's busy food should still be a good quality. Do disappointed. Last time I order from this restaurant!!

Best restaurant in the Highams park

Took over a hour from order to delivery. Was cold on arrival but after putting it into the microwave it was really lovely food. Don’t mind it being late but could give you updates instead of me having to ring the restaurant twice.

I’ve had multiple takeaways from Purbani and they have never failed to disappoint in delivery service, flavour and portion size. Absolutely love their biriani’s. My favourite go to takeaway in HP hands down!

Perfect little restaurant in the heart of Highams Park. Clean!! Perfect for a romantic or family meal or even just with friends. Reasonable prices . Very impressed and I’ve eaten in many places around London.

We have been going to this restaurant for years and have never had a bad meal. The atmosphere is cheerful but not rowdy, the service attentive and the food good. Takeaways are also good.

My favorite Indian place of all time. I hope to eat here again someday!

Food was cold. Main curry was ok but everything else was poor and tasteless.

We were badly let down by a restaurant via Just Eat, we had waited nearly three hours to be told they couln't delivery our order. We decided to call Purbani direct and see if they could get us some food quickly, I called, explained the problem, I ordered, they said it would be 45mins but would try to hurry. To my suprise there was a knock on the door around 15 minutes max 20 minutes and there was our purbani man with our food :D even batter the food was really tasty, hats off to Purbani!!

Some of the best Indian food I have eaten in London, fantastic quality, great service and good value. Highly recommend.

Always beautiful tasting food. One of if not the best indian food around

Alwaulus friendly. Best in the area.

Small portion, not tasty; lacking salt and spice, also overcooked. Definitely do not recommend

Excellent quality curry, no.issues ever. I regularly order from Purbani, highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, great service, we get takeout from here often

My husband and I had the most delicious takeaway meal last night.It is the first time we have ordered from Purbani and we look forward to many more times as well as going to eat there.The food arrived quickly, was well cooked and delicious.Thankyou!

Very friendly staff. Tasty food. Soft drinks a bit too costly Would go back again

The food was pretty tasty, but it was 30 mins late, cold and the small portions. Especially the lamb chops, and poppadoms.

Always have a lovely meal at Purbani. I had chicken jalfrezi, sag aloo. My son chicken tikka masala, coconut rice. Keema Nan bread. All just £23 with free popadoms and dips given. Been going to Purbani since 1995. One of my favourite restaurants.

I NEVER write reviews but felt i needed to about this place, just had the most amazing meal here, the staff were all absolutely incredible and made us feel so welcome, lovely place, lovely food and great atmosphere will definitely visit again

They are always so lovely here and welcoming.

Went yesterday with a couple of my friends and was very warmly greeted by our waiter Kukon who was very kind to give us meal recommendations and a warm welcome into Purbani Restaurant. The food did not take long to arrive and had the most tantalising aroma of Indian food I had ever had. I ordered the chicken tikka rizala, which was absolutely mouth-watering and the succulent chicken along with the many spices and sauces was something to adore. The peshwari naan was fluffier than a cloud and melted as soon as it touched my palate. I also spoke to the head chef, Abul, who was also a very kind and polite gentleman, saying how he perfected the meal, start to finish. Overall, the atmosphere was very lively, welcoming and relaxing. Everything was 10/10. If you want a brilliant Indian establishment who serve excellent food with an even better side of customer service, come to Purbani Restaurant!

I have been eating their glorious food for years but tonight tried something new. A Nepalese curry. It was absolutely delicious. Give it a go.

This restaurant has never failed to be one of the best in our area.

Had a take away last night from here , and oh my god it was actually the best curry I’ve had in years , amazing will be ordering again and again , what a wonderful surprise ❤️

A beautiful restaurant, very friendly staff and really excellent food and service.

Food was good as usual but man from the restaurant that delivered was rude and told me not to order so late but I ordered while the restaurant was open and at least half an hour before closing time. Very bad attitude. Not what I want to be paying for.

We haven't been to the Purbani for quite sometime (although we get takeaways from there) so I was interested to see whether it had kept up its standards. Short answer, it has. The food and service was excellent. The lamb Bombay was very tasty with just the right of "heat" without making it unpleasant. The portions are reasonable but if you are very hungry you might consider a couple of sides to fill it out. What put the final touch on the meal was the price, which was a very reasonable £26/head so great value especially bearing in mind the quality of the food.

Arrived early friendly driver great flavours

I am so very tired of watery, tasteless food. Yet another Indian that exists to please the "chicken tikka masala" brigade. Why doesn't anyone prepare their food with the meat rather than add it to a watery base gravey and chillie to add heat as required. Also, opposite..1 The Avenue are exactly the same...get a free half pint of lager and pompodoms and that seems to please the tikka masala brigade..not me..watery rubbish.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. Great atmosphere, quite busy when we went there this evening, but very enjoyable evening. Would thoroughly recommend the Purbani.

Not too impressed food was good but only like warm

Great place for indish dishes. The staff is very Welcome and nice. The restaurant has a large amount of dishes to choose. We had roast chicken masala and chicken Tikka masala. The prices are reasonable.

Amazing food and lovely people! A regular for myself and my partner

I called to change the order which they did for me , for that I’m thankful but the fact my food was cold and partially burnt wasn’t, it wasn’t even the bit I asked them to cook really well. Not impressed at all sorry

Ordered from here several times for collection fast service food portions are good food is fresh staff are friendly 5 stars

Always welcoming Food is always lovely Been going there for years now

Purbani is our first choice for Indian food. Great service, fast delivery and tasty dishes.

Went Tuesday evening with my sisters, I ALWAYS get my take away from here which is superb, this time sat in, was amazing staff friendly and professional, I cannot put into words how EXCELLENT the food is. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN GIVE IT A GO

Good sized portions, but I felt the flavours were a bit bland and lacking any depth. It's almost like the sauces came straight from a jar. I've obviously only tasted 4 of their dishes, but these should be staple dishes on an Indian menu and if they can't be cooked nice then doubt the others will be any better. sorry

Consistently great food and excellent service. Staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. Good value

I have come to this restaurant since I was a child and it has never let me down. The food is great, the staff are amazing, cannot recommend it enough. Thank you purbani for a great meal out.

Great tasting food and quick delivery.

Good food but bits of it were cold which was a shame

First time order here. Very tasty and excellent delivery service will definitely order again.

Excellent food, polite delivery man, brilliant that it came early was starving

never ordered from a Indian that doesn't gobe yhe little chutney and onion salad and poppadoms for free. Biriyani eas bland

Tasted good as usual delivered on time and warm too thank you

Tasty and fresh, the whole order was perfect. The family loved it and the price was reasonable. I will be ordering again.

Good food as usual arrived on time and warm

Good food and good drinks. But the service is a little slow, also they don't know how to differintiate between a glass for wine and a regular glass

Took 2 hours to arrive and was cold

Very nice service and choice of food and priced well

Food is tasteless and arrived cold.

Food was late, it was cold and there was lots of sauce but not a lot if chicken. Very disappointing.

Came here on a random night out, post work, absolutely fantastic food and hospitality was great, very friendly. Went for a lamb dish called north Indian special lamb... Easily on par with Dishoom if not better, lamb extremely tender with pilau rice. Have previously ordered for deliver not been as good, would highly recommend to eat in as much much better!

Amazing food really good service not crazy expensive generaous portions !

Almost 2 hour wait for food. Food was lukewarm when it arrived.

Arrived two hours after ordering and two calls to find out what was going on

Food was late, was not very hot and naan breads were flat, cold and chewy.

Over an hour late and cold. Have had a lot of deliveries in the past and food has always been good. Recently though taking far too long (over 2 hours) and not hot when it does eventually arrive. Unfortunately won’t be ordering from here again

Very tasty, good quality food :)

Good food as usual but half of it was cold which was a shame

Food was ok but a bit taste less

Incredibly rude, disrespectful, and unfriendly staff, and we both got upset stomachs after eating here. Poor quality food, thoroughly disappointed. We thought this was the Purbani in Wanstead, who are amazing and lovely people, but we accidentally ordered from here instead. Don't make our mistake, because you will regret it.

great curry but would recommend going for chicken

The food was outstanding, delicious.

Fantastic tandori mixed grill . Try it .

The food was nice and hot. It is always very tasty, with generous portions.

Good hot tasty food as usual just a pity that they’re not on the Tuesday 20% discount list anymore

Amazing food , amazing delivery polite and friendly

Lovely food. Nice people. Would order again.

Lovely place, great service, very reasonable prices and a large menu.

I love this place! It's my favourite Indian in Highams Park. Food is delicious, reasonably priced and they serve a great Cobra. The staff are so friendly and kind

Food was good and hot too thanks

We come from Dunmow because it so good, that says it all x

The food was cold and the containers were only half full, we have supported this restaurant for years and this evening were extremely disappointed

Same name as another restaurant. Confusing. Tell you they can deliver quickly then it takes ages.

Good food. Punctual delivery. Good price.

Takeaway ordered two hours ago. Was ready 1hour twenty minutes ago. Still not here. They are 1 mile away. . Excuse after excuse when we actually managed to get through on the phone. If you don’t have the drivers don’t take the order. Going to McDonalds, your driver can take the food back. Full refund NOW.

The food tasted lovely but was disappointed the curry sauces were not filled nearly to the top like it always has been We tried a new starter which was not cheap and had hardly any onions and small amount of prawns. We also waited 2 hours and 10 minutes to be delivered on a Tuesday night.

The food was hot and very tasty, thank you.

Not particularly hot but nice all the same

Food was so yummy! A little late, and therefore the food was Luke warm. But still tasted so good!

The food was delicious and piping hot. Thank you for the poppadoms and naan bread as they were also delicious.

Usually lovely food but today it was cold and chicken wasn’t cooked enough hopefully be back to their usual next time
