The food was very tasty. Such a shame it took 1 hour 20 minutes to be delivered and when it arrived one of the dishes was missing. We were told the missing dish would come in 20 minutes but after 50 minutes and two calls to the restaurant it still didn't arrive. This was our first time trying this restaurant and it's a real shame as the food was really nice, but the service was not.

Sorry but I def won’t be booking for Christmas food from you. I’ve just had this which is chicken tikka masala. It is 5 pieces of chicken in what I can only describe as vile soup. I get you do 50% off but I would rather be able to eat it than literally throw it away like I’ve just done. Very disappointed

Star of India Halsted take away , this is not a restaurant, take away only, collection or delivery, I collect why 50% discount at the moment, great pricing long may that last. Food is delicious I have onion bhaji which you get 4 in the place, nice starter, chicken tandoori stater always yummy, main course chicken danasak very nice good lumps of chicken, nicely spiced, vegetable pilau rice is so nice. Yes I will be back keep up the great food, The establishment itself is clean friendly staff what more do we want. More of the same thank you.

We have never eaten here before and decided to give it a go on a whim. It’s quite “basic” inside and nothing glamorous, but it’s clean which was a huge bonus. Upon looking at the menu it is a little unimaginative and made up of the usual dishes, nothing was really grabbing me as something I’d never eaten before somewhere else. The beer was ice cold, and the popadoms fresh and the chutneys good, so far so good. Our Curry’s were hot and tasted good, the only disappointing thing was the onion bhaji’s they were very soft and greasy, not crispy as usually dished up. Overall, the service was good, the food decent and prices very reasonable. It’s just not a particularly impressive eating environment.

The Star of India is a fantastic discovery hidden away in the middle of Halstead. The food we ordered was delicious. Huge portions too ! And even better, 50% off our total because we collected our order. What a bargain ! This place is a little treasure. Highly recommend.

Disappointing food, over sweet, overcooked and missing ingredients (2 paneer dishes contained very little paneer).

Ordered a delivery as staying in an AIRBNB- the driver who worked for the restaurant directly threatened the property owner that he was going to come back WITH A GUN because they were bickering over his irate and rude attitude. This is absolutely insane and a criminal offence. No words to explain such a threatening escalation.

The chicken was tough and fir a tikka masala, so oily which was a shame but also very watery... Not a lot of flavour.... In fairness I've made better at home... Such a shame. But won't be going again

I can’t really fault the delicious tasty and flavoursome food. The potions are more then adequate which is great if your sharing or it’s your first time trying the dish. Delivery was on time as of last time experience with no issues.

Scammed for our money did not deliver last night when I ordered and paid , did not call and did not knock !!! You lied , then when I phoned 2 hours ago you told me you'd bring my delivery, then when I just called you told me because I left a bad review on just eat you'll bring it in 2 days if I take it down , your a disgrace and disgusting customer service , family and friends been warned to not come to you and you'll be posted on social media for this thankyou

Hi. Not good service. I called them . They hang up the phone, no answer. Packing is not good. When i try to pick up food from bags it's all fall down in my kitchen. Better another food factory. Don't use.

Was so looking forward to visiting here but unfortunately very disappointed. We booked a table as we arrived was asked to wait, another 3 couples came in (same table for 2) and were seated before us. Took 25 mins of us having to keep calling staff over to finally put our drinks order in, was 'unable' to take food order as had to be another waiter- fine. Again another half an hour went by (was in there 1h before they would take our food order). Popadoms came out and were pleasent. Main meals came out total of 1h 30 mins being in the restaurant (table next to us had waited 2 full hours for their starters!). Rice was greasy and full of oil. Chicken masala had black burnt bits in it! My partner said his lamb was nice and tender however. Took 20 mins of attempting to call waiters over to ask for the bill which never even came so ended up going to the front to pay. By this time we had watched tables get up and leave due to poor service too. I think this is probably a lovely restaurant however on fully booked dining nights then need to focus on the guests dining in as opposed to take away. I did have a chat with the manager before we left to voice concerns and he was very pleasant understanding and gave us a free drink which was kind. But I still feel the need to write a review as we spent £50 on poor service and burnt food and I visit a lot of Indian restaurants so appreciate variety between dishes at different venues. We unfortunately won't be returning here neither would recommend.

Very poor service! Took well over 3 hours, and we are still waiting. We had made an allowance for New Year’s Eve, however - we were told, ‘ Our food wood be 20 mins, the second call it had just left, the third call they were waiting for a driver! Will NOT use again. Can’t review the food, as we haven’t seen it still.
