So last couple meals by Spice King have been delivered with cold food. My partner had to reheat in Microwave. Not freezing cold, not like warm just no temperature. Thought we’d try again and same thing. Naan bread over done and food not warm but no cold and needed reheating. Quality of the Massala sauce has also been gradually getting worse. Still worth a try here and overall not a bad meal but feel like quality is dropping this place and will be ordering more from Pink Garlic.

Disappointed. I couldn't be bothered to drive to my preferred Indian (Nirvana in Ingatestone) so I ordered a takeaway from here instead. Very nice guy on the phone who said we can adapt any dish to your liking. I asked for some added.spice to my Madras and it was very mild. All the food was luke warm which was very disappointing. The naan was ok and the saag aloo was the best tasting thing I ordered. Only myself and my son ordered and it was almost as expensive as my usual order for 4 people from Nirvana. Unfortunately I think that we won't be ordering from here again and just make the drive to collect from our usual instead.

Recently moved to billericay, most important thing for us is a good local Indian as it’s my childrens fav! Tried one last week that was standard, this restuarant is top class, service was 100% from start to finish they were attentive and looked after the kids through to ice cream and ALOT of chocolates at the end! The starters and mains were the best Indian food we’ve had, my 9 year old boy is hard to please and was so happy walking out, we can’t wait to return already! Thank you so much to every member of staff, see you soon x p.s mocktails amazing too x

Ordered takeaway. Food was cold. Chicken in the biriani was very overcooked, dry, tasteless. Dish arrived with a tub of yoghurt (sheer laziness!) instead of a warm vegetable curry sauce seperate. Also, where I come from it has a fried egg/omelette with it. I didn't mind that it didn't have the egg but I will never buy from here again. The bhaji was so disgusting, it went straight in the bin. It was utterly tasteless, chewy and greasy, and likely been hanging around for a week- certainly tasted like it. I do not recommend.

Never again. Ordered food & two hours later & still waiting. Being Diabetic its important to eat regular. Have twice been told the food is on it way & another half an hour & no food. We were told it was cooked & ready to deliver over an hour ago. Now they say a mistake was made. We gave them 5 minutes more & thats it. What a disgraceful way & then to admit they lied to us twice as they made a mistake. They didnt even take the responsibility & I should feel sorry for them that it was just a boy that got it wrong. Our family will never order from them again. We are so cross we are unlikely to want the food. Its now 14 minutes since they said it was 5 minutes, so its not looking likely that we will get food.

Firstly I’d like to say I haven’t eaten here before an ordered based on recent feedback and reviews. I ordered delivery and it was prompt and on time a still very hot. The Masala wasn’t the best I’d ever had but wasn’t the worst either. The sauce was not oily at all, maybe a bit watered down and lacking flavour but packed enough heat and the chicken a little over cooked. The Mango Chutney was on point. That about all that was good. The sag Paneer was not at all to my liking i prefer it when the paneer is melted in with the spinach so it’s nice and creamy. That’s more on me than them. However the Mushroom rice ordered was so over bearing with lemongrass it was like eating lemongrass straight out of packet. Killed the rice completely. I ordered a Mix king PLATTER. Basically a mixed grill but whenever I’ve ordered platters before there’s enough to go around. This was more like a mix grill for one. 1 small piece of Kofta, 1 cube of chicken and 2 cubes of lamb ( the lamb was tough and stringy and lacked flavour) The Stuffed Pathara tasted like an old sock and I know that sounds harsh but honestly it I took two bites and the rest went in the bin but was hot on delivery. Finally and lastly Meat Somosa these were small and tasted like they had been a few days old, likely to have been heated. I have eaten at any other Indians in Billericay but I certainly won’t be ordering here again. I’ve eaten at my fair share of indian takeouts and I’ve had some great and some not so great. This one

Absolutely awful!! Ordered food at 5.50pm, estimated delivery between 7.05 and 7.25pm. Called restaurant at 7.40pm, after holding for 15 mins got cut off. Called back and EVENTUALLY told that order was being packed up and would be 10mins. 25 mins later called back to be told it was just being packed up and would be another 25 mins. Decided to go to the restaurant as it would be quicker. When I got to the front desk they told me that the delivery was on my doorstep. On way back home called to check and wife said no-one had turned up. Went back to restaurant and was handed phone as delivery guy WAS now there.restaurant guy said there had been a system problem, don’t believe it as I have used this restaurant and just eat twice and both times I have had the same rubbish experience.

I have my regular 2 Indians I go to in Wickford but since hearing great reviews about this place I thought I would give it a go tonight. I was actually excited to try it out but I was left really disappointed, first of all when I went to collect the chutneys were sitting on the floor for some reason? I asked the guy for my receipt which he replied saying I cant have it because he did not know which one it is? Which I found very strange.. When my partner asked about the 10% discount for collection he replied by saying only on cash orders but this is not specified on the menu. It is a shame that the curry's were also not very tasty because I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately the jalfrezi was abit watery and had not much flavour and biryani also lacked flavour and sorry to say the bhajees were crispy but had to fillings.. The best part of the dish was the complimentary onion salad.. I don’t want to say bad things about the place but hopefully the management read this and take it as constructive criticism and improve on these points.
