Rim Jhim Spice Indian Restaurant in Colchester

Absolutely disgusting service. We spend £122 and never received our order. When calling, we got hung up on twice and told they would be out of pocket. We never got our food and now are out of pocket. Wouldn’t recommend and won’t give up until we get our money back. Terrible company.

I had heard good things and was not disappointed! What a wonderful dining experience. Such hospitality is rare these days but the team made it a truly special experience! The Jalfrezi was fragrant, Jaipur Lamb melted in the mouth and one of the party who likes it hot said this was the hottest Phall he had ever tried and he loved every mouthful! The evening was finished off with complimentary brandy... stunning! Will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff!!

Great service and great food , £40 a head for two courses including alcoholic drinks and side dishes which was good . Lovely staff. Clean restaurant

Our first experience of a Saturday night takeaway from Rim Jim, and everything was excellent. Different meals ordered for 5 people, including some of the specials, and everything was excellent.... well worth a try!

The perfect stop on the A12 on the way to take the ferry from Harwich to Holland on the way back from visiting family in Rutland! Delicious food. Friendly staff. Couldn't recommend it more!

Lovely food here and great service by Simon.

Great food & service. Visited on a Sunday with a friend and was left satisfied. Buffet has good options and flavours were great throughout. Staff friendly and accommodating. Will be back!🏅

Our first experience of Rim Jhim Spice has been extremely pleasant. We went for a takeaway and will definitely be ordering again.

Amazing food, lovely staff, would recommend 👌🏼

I’ve been in Colchester for five years and have struggled to find an Indian restaurant as good as good as where I used to live. I thought we would try here with a takeaway. I can see why they have won an award for the best Indian in Essex. All the food was cooked to perfection. Great service from all the staff. After visiting, I will be sure to come back to eat in the restaurant. I’m told the Sunday Buffett is worth a visit for. Thank you. I look forward to coming back soon. 😋

Always brilliant food here. We normally get it to take away but decided to eat in as my parents were visiting. The service was some of the best we’ve experienced and the food, as always, was great. If you’re in Colchester and love a good curry, come here!

Food was excellent, service was standard however they did treat us to a few free drinks!

Very good food for large group. Simon was great with the group

Perfect. Good food. Food service Solomon top man Rumal top man

Barely made it on time but was able to order take out. Calm atmosphere, food was delicious. Next time will ask to make it spicy.

I treated my son, who lives locally, to a return visit here. Service is always excellent and despite being very busy on a Saturday night, our food arrived quickly. We shared Poppadoms, Prawn Puree and Onion Bhajis to start. To follow I enjoyed Zara Chicken and my son had a Vindaloo. Portions were large so we took some home! We’ll be back …

Food was ok (lost a star, because the keema naan seemed be lacking any mincemeat) / Staff were polite and even offered us a free drink at the end meal.

Very tasty, tender foods. Best samples of Indian foods,restaurant

Unbelievable food and great service! Staff are very friendly! I’ll be visiting again soon 👌

Went later on a Sunday evening, fresh, beautiful, tasty foods, extremely friendly staff delivering Awesome service and Hospitality. Couldn't fault it. Great!

Loved this place! Staff so friendly and the food was amazing! They were really busy but everything came quickly and tasted so good. The manager was a really nice guy too. Brilliant, 100% recommend

I am a regular at Rhim Jhim for both takeaways and dining in. These guys are the best out there and have to say is the best Indian I have ever been to, I feel so lucky it’s on my doorstep. I have been to many Indian restaurants across the country and this beats them all hands down. I’ve never had a bad meal, each dish is unique and they do not use base sauces like a lot of the other local restaurants. I will keep coming back for years to come, the service is faultless and I can’t get enough of their food. So much so in fact I’m back tonight! You can see why they are an award winning restaurant. Personal favourites are Lamb Naga, Chicken Zara. A great range of specials too you won’t find elsewhere. Give it a try you won’t regret it, I will warn you though once you go once you’ll be hooked.

Treated my family to a meal at Rim Jim and although I wasn't able to join, the feedback I received from them made me wish I had! They had a fantastic time and raved on endlessly about the excellent food and outstanding service they received. Would definitely have to pay a visit myself.

Food was great the best Indian I’ve ever had. Simon was our waiter, really kind and helped us with the dishes so much. Would much recommend to everybody.

Absolutely great place. Fabulous food would definitely recommend. Service excellent, nice decor and comfortable seats

Simon was so lovely, he kept bringing cocktails. Happy days

Great service and excellent food. Great night xx

Just got back from a meal out, me and my wife and 2 kids. From the moment we arrived they made us feel very welcome and were great with the kids. The food was on point, and we love a curry so we eat in quite a few. We are here on a family break so unfortunately aren’t local, but would 100 percent make this our regular if we did. Lovely little complimentary glass of whiskey and tia Maria for my wife was also a lovely touch.

Very deserving of a good review. Best Indian in colchester. Every dish was very good, staff very friendly and make a real effort with the kids.

Easy to see why rated number one. Good food and good service Our evening spoiled a little by a noisy table of 4 lads 12 feet away but this does not detract from the excellent food and friendly service. This was my first visit and will definitely be back. Well worth the 10 mile drive.

Absolutely lovely experience. Such a pleasant staff, very welcoming atmosphere, delicious food. I fully recommend it!

Brilliant service everytime we come , amazing food and suleman was an amazing server !

lovely as always, staff so kind and helpful

Went to this place with my Son and Daughter in law and Grandchildren. The food was excellent and very tasty. The restaurant is very clean and the staff go out of their way to assist. Pricing is very competitive. Highly recommended 👍

Always first class food and service I've tried most of the menu and it's all banging

Thank you for a lovely evening. Possibly the friendliest restaurant we've ever visited. A warm welcome delicious aromatic food and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you to all for a wonderful visit. 10 out of 10.

Went here for our wedding anniversary. Fantastic food, friendly staff and also wonderful atmosphere. We were given complimentary drinks at the end of the meal, not because it was our anniversary, it’s something they just do here. We did however have an extra dessert with a candle in it to say than you for choosing them to celebrate our anniversary. Loved it, would definitely go back and highly recommend.

Rim Jhim Spice was recommended to us.. and boy we were not disappointed. We were greated very warmly, showed us to our table. Drinks and poppadoms ordered and received promptly. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. . Food was one of the best Indians we have had. It was so tasty. Great portion sizes. Not the cheapest but for great quality food you have to pay a justified price. Cannot wait to return in the very near future

We had a delightful experience at Rim Jhim Spice during our first visit with my vegetarian wife and two of our kids. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming ambiance.The menu had an extensive range of vegetarian options, which was perfect for my wife. She particularly loved the dish recommended by the owner which wasn't on the menu, which was bursting with rich flavors and perfectly cooked. My kids couldn't get enough of the buttery, soft Naan and the delicious lamb and chicken tikka, which had just the right amount of spice for their young palates.The service was impeccable; our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations that catered to our dietary preferences. The food arrived promptly, and each dish was presented beautifully, making the meal a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.The restaurant also provided a cozy, family-friendly environment. The staff went out of their way to ensure our kids were comfortable, offering kid-friendly menu. It was clear that they valued their younger guests as much as the adults.Overall, Rim Jhim restaurant, exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of delicious vegetarian cuisine, exceptional service, and a warm atmosphere made it a memorable dining experience for our family. We look forward to returning soon!

Amazing, so welcoming and lovely food

I absolutely love the Rim Jhim. This was my local go to Indian Restaurant when I lived in Stanway. I have never come across another chicken tikka madras that's as good as this place since relocating.

Excellent service, excellent food and staff polite. Will be definitely going back.

Me and my mum had a fantastic meal at Rim Jhim this evening. Being Bangladeshi's ourselves, the food went completely above our expectations! I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was on point from the second we entered to leaving. All the staff were fantastic.

Great hospitality and welcoming staff

Friendly staff, excellent food 🤤

Authentic Indian cookery at its best ! You can tell the ingredients used are of the finest quality and that reflects in the exquisite taste experience. The service is excellent too, Courteous, friendly staff with an eagerness to please I found so refreshing. Recommended 5 Stars.

Lovely meal with Great service Definitely come back again...

Excellent fantastic my tastebuds were taken on a fantastic journey to India at the Rim Jhim spice. Great food and service 10 out of 10 I love this place.

Beautiful food, wonderful atmosphere and all staff went above and beyond to make our dining experience 10/10

Absolutely brilliant lunch option on a Sunday! We had the buffet food! It was warm and tasty with great options (even though my plates look basic ahah!). The staff are welcoming and always go above and beyond

Great lunch option on a Sunday with the buffet where you can try things you might not normally. Welcoming service and good food

Amazing delicious food great freindly staff

Absolutely superb food and service! Could not fault it!!

the tikka masala was decent, but i bought rogan josh and chicken korai as my other two dishes and they were completely indistinguishable from each other, and also bland. they also forgot the naan, and even though it was delivered eventually i'd already eaten everything and there was no reimbursement. the naan was also bland, predictably. personally, i cannot understand the very high level of 5-star reviews. this tasted like very average buffet food to me. there are far, far better places out there

Amazing food and very friendly staff. My 11 year son enjoyed it so much he had Rob thank the chef himself! Well done Islam & team!

Absolutely delicious! Delightful staff.

The best restaurant we have been in ages! Absolutely amazing service and the food is so tasty and well presented! Will definitely come back again

Great food, friendly staff. Came in on a busy Tuesday night and seated promptly and food arrived quickly. Very tasty and served hot x

Food is 💯 , customer service is 💯 . The guys here are so nice. Hospitality is 💯. Will be coming here often. I got treats aswell

Absolutely stunning dinner and people! We will be back for sure! Everything looked and tasted amazing! And the stuff were so polite and lovely!

We went here 6 months ago shortly after they won an award and it was excellent. On return now it was completely different. I can only think the chef has left as the food was totally different to the point that previously it was one of best curry’s I’ve had to today where it was one of the worst. Really disappointing.

Fantastic experience. They never disappoint and the food is always on point. Thank you. Lassi Lady

Excellent service from Suleiman and the team. Food was lovely and very affordable 👌🏽. Would highly recommend.

Our favourite curry house, food is always amazing whether you want really spicy or mild, it is always fantastic! Staff are friendly and welcoming especially Simon who is always smiling! 😃 We come back time and time again! We love it!

We finally tried RimJhim after having been meaning to try it for almost a year now! A fantastic experience, our server, Suleman, was lovely, and the food was delicious.

My first visit here was amazing very friendly and great atmosphere will definitely return.. Food was amazing very hot and great flavouring ended up with complimentary drinks

I absolutely love Rim Jhim. The food is outstanding! Always served with a smile. I couldn’t fault this place at all. Never any competition when we suggest having indian food!

You won’t ever be disappointed with Rim Jhim. Lovely atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff and above all the most delicious curry! Thank you Rhim Jim ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was excellent food and staff were very friendly. The food also came very quickly and was piping hot, showing it was made fresh

As always a fantastic experience at Rim Jhim. Friendly, attentive staff, lovely atmosphere and above all a delicious curry! Thank you Rim Jhim for a wonderful meal! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came here on a Saturday early evening. Surprisingly plenty of tables available but had booked in advance. The food here is fantastic. Traditional Bengali cuisine and menu with very high standards. Service is quick and efficient if a little bit uniform as opposed to charming. Prices are ok. It’s rather unassuming from the outside but very typical inside. A place I think most people will revisit as it’s clearly maintaining quality of food.

What a Little Gem, fantastic meal, good service, and a lovely complimentary brandy , & made my granddaughter smile highly recommended 😀.

Always delicious. Always fit you in somehow! And always great service 😊 Thank you!

What a great place. 5 of us when for a curry. My first time there and not the last.the food was amazing,tasty and hot. The staff were first class especially the man that owns it. After dinner he brought us over brandy and white rum. Check this place out you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing. Great environment, friendly service. Devious food, haven't had better curry than here. Every thing was filled with flavour.

Superb curry restaurant. Outstanding food and friendly service. Can not recommend more. The warm rum was a lovely touch. Will be returning again.
