The best curry house in Colchester by far. Quality of food is great, portions sizes are generous. Piping hot food. The staff are very attentive and cater to juniors. Only thing that could be improved is the “shoulder to shoulder” capacity. You’re located far too close to other diners.

Absolutely brilliant little place to eat, the whole family had a blast. Amazing food and the waiter went above and beyond to make it a great meal. Also helped with allergies which is highly appreciated. Would 100% come back. A shame we don’t live local. Would give 6 stars if I could.

My friend and I love Rhim Jhim, the staff and the top quality food. We were going to use the takeaway service this evening and priced up 3 mains 2 spl rice poppadoms and 1 nan. When we worked out it came to over £76 without delivery charge and with no weekend discount...is expensive. We therefore did a local comparison with the lion of Bengal and Maharani one came out £23 less and the other £25 and discount is applied to the Bengal. I appreciate that Rhim Jhim having won awards is very nice food. However there is only a certain price it is worth. Therefore we are taking our custom elsewhere, sorry Rhim Jhim.

The restaurant is not the nicest to look at inside or out. We really liked the friendly service though. Food taste was just ok for me and my partner. Certainly for the price the portions were good value. Not memorable for me as a BIR. But good for the locals.

First Class! My family dine at this fabulous restaurant a few times a year. This is owing to the wonderful food and service. Today, we were delayed by trains from London. The restaurant still accommodated us although we were late. They were kind and understanding about our late arrival. We were given a great table and it accommodated older members of the family perfectly. The food? We love it! I cannot describe how delicious the curries are...just one word: exceptional! The service was brilliant. The waiters were attentive to all our needs. The birthday surprises we received at the end were totally beyond all our expectations. Furthermore, the waiters made our family celebrations special as a result. We left very happy and of course we will return! Thank you again to all the staff at Rim Jhim Indian Restaurant. You were superb! One of the best dining experiences!

We had a takeaway a few weeks ago which we thought was quite disappointing. The portion size was great, which is good considering the price point. The food was however pretty bland, the Madras wasn't even remotely spicy and the chicken in it was tough and chewy. Needless to say we won't be back.

Although it does not look much from the outside the food and speed of service were amazing. This was our 16th different curry house as part of an essex curry club and it will be number 1. It could do with a lick of paint and it felt a bit squashed but this was overshadowed by the amazing food and service.

Didn't dine in the restaurant I had a takeaway worst curry I have had it was cold and small portions and very over priced got told good things about rim jhim but I should have ordered from somewhere else my son doesn't eat curry so had the chicken and chips the chicken was a battered chicken burger you would get from ice land for £1 and there was a toddler size handful of chips in a small plastic box and that cost around £13

Paid £70 just to get the worst stomach ever! Waited over an hour for the food and 20 minutes for them to bring the drinks over. Korma tasted okay but left me fighting more my life on the toilet. Misses had a chicken madras and it was the most bland madras she's had that lacked any flavour. Servers are about as useful as a chocolate teapot, constantly bumping into you, slow and make no sense when they're talking to you. They had customers coming in for collect orders who had been waiting for 2 over 2 hours. You honestly couldn't pay me to go back to this place.

My partner and I are both vegan and often have Indian food as it caters for vegan options. We went into the restaurant directly and the owner spoke directly to us about all of the food we could have (and cooked it specially to make sure it was vegan). The food was delicious! We highly recommend for anyone who is vegan and wants great Indian food. I recommend going in as then you can discuss directly with the staff!

Al llegar nos llevaron a una mesa con no cubiertos. Un miembro del personal, literalmente tiró 8 cuchillos y tenedores en la mesa para establecer allí. No hay servilletas o cualquier otra cosa. Nos quedamos muy impresionados por el comportamiento grosero. Nos levantamos para ir al buffet y me dijeron a sentarse y que íbamos a ser traído entrante. Un poco de comunicación hubiera estado bien! El primer plato era dos cubos de pollo cebolla un duro correosos bhaji samosa y un pequeño. No me gusta la cebolla bhajis o samosas, así que cuando voy a un buffet es porque me gusta elegir lo que quiere comer. El buffet no era mejor. Fue limitada y la carne era duro y difícil. No volveremos muy pronto. No podía salir de allí lo suficientemente rápido.
