Tales Of India in Harlow

There is no difference between chiken fried rice and chiken biriyani. Not very tasty.

Always lovely food ,delivered hot and on time .Very friendly service,will always order from them again .

Great meal will use again A +++++

Driver couldn't find me... simple diversions, obviously needs a new sat nav ! Food cold and unenjoyable ! If it gets here !

The food was cold on delivery. We had £35 worth of food and expect it to be served hot. We ordered our food at 7:45 for 9pm and it appears to have been sat there waiting for delivery due to the soggyness of the food. One of the pots were broken in the bag so our food was covered in lime sauce. Never ordered before from here and not happy with the quality of food.

The curry sauce was so watery , it was edible . The prawn madras was filled with tiny little overcooked prawns, I expected larger prawns so was disappointed. The balti was decent. Disappointed, it was much nicer last time i got it

Always lovely food delivered ,wouldn't order indian from anywhere else

Always lovely food delivered, wouldn't go anywhere else

Great flavour and spice and everything nice!

We always order from tales, lovely meal each time

Very delicious meals . The bread (naan, chapati etc..) is expensive though for one piece only.

ABSOLUTELY MOUTH WATERING MEAL, THE TALES IS THE BEST IN HARLOW IN MY OPINION 😊😊

Dissatisfied with my order tonight…firstly I was sent a chicken dish even though I ordered a meat dish… I am still surprised why the chef didn’t make the meat dish once he realised the order was messed up instead I was given extra poppadom..also the paratha were shop bought not restaurant made…

Food come early but was missing some items from it not happy at all

First class food and service. The Banquet Menu on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday is brilliant value. Thoroughly recommended to those who know a great Curry. Thank you!

We order each week, always hot an taste lovely

Where do i start with this, the abysmal service or the sorry state of the food. service first. We arrived at 18:15 to an empty restaurant (it was a Thursday) to a stroppy waiter who basically left us to our own devices. Once we worked out the seating we and put our drinks order in (they couldn't even get that correct) we heard the dulcet tones of our ponytailed waiter asking for our starter orders. we hadn't had time to check the menu properly but that didn't stop him. This bit gets a bit complicated, one of the party had had a stomach surgery so couldn't eat a grate amount so didn't order rice or nan bread and asked if his starter could come at the same time as his main. You would have thought he had asked for ponytail boy to empty the till by the reaction. Anyway food quality time. the starters my Tandoori chicken had seen better days tough is an understatement. As for the prawn cocktail it was the most disgusting pile off mess (that got sent back but never got replaced. My chicken Madras has obviously been reheated due to the amount of water in the sauce, i left half of it as the chicken was just plane nasty. my partners ordered a biriyani main part of the dish came out vegetable curry came out 10 minuets later.Now on to the end of the night the payment. As i mentioned earlier one of our party had not ordered rice or bread but you guessed it they where on his bill (naughty ponytail boy) my bill was incorrect so another heated debate ensued. All sow they didn't tell us it was cash only until we went up to pay. so we all tarped off to the cash machine next door. this might seem light hearted but the long and the short of it bad service and evan worse wood. Do yourself a favour and choose any of the other indian restaurants in Harlow.

There was egg shell in my korma would not order again

Banging food - great value. My new go to Indian takeaway!

I ordered a delivery at about 7.20 last night. It arrived after more than an hour. Although the actual meal was nice it was cold , and the poppadoms were tasteless and the dip too. I was disappointed as have used this restaurant on and off for more than 20 years and never had a problem

Always on timewith a smile, great food and no plastic.

Absolutely delicious. Maybe... Change containers to plastic ones because the oil goes everywhere.

Just perfect , great portions, taste amazing. Thank you

Always lovely food ,arrives hot and the person who delivers is always happy ,friendly .Really good meal and service .

Kamal, this is where you are! Great service (although sadly quiet when we visited the restaurant) . Food was lovely and reasonable prices. Staff were amazing, will be back. Thank you!

Forgot mango chutney Popadoms stale

Food was awful and it was thrown away. Chicken in makhani tasted off, it tasted sour. Rice was clumped together and the naan was doughy. I have ordered from here in the past and it used to be nice but last couple times it hasn’t.

Takes seriously bothering me to get me to put up a review. 30 minutes late, but its the calling up and customer service when its late that really f’d me off when they tell you just to wait and guestimate yourself. Food turned up cold and was very bland, maybe they were busy and just bodged my order but it wasn't worth the inflation cost we paid. Also got a part of my order wrong but put off calling to complain, would rather just avoid straight up in future and try elsewhere.

Poor quality, cold from the delay and I got raita when i ordered and laid for chutney. Not a great experience, and apparently when your food is 25 mins late and you call up to enquire, you are told just to wait.

Perfect quality, great taste, good portion size. Very pleased recommend. Friendly service. Very good value for money.

Food not great, very tasteless

First time ordering and will be again. Food was hot and tasty!

Always nice to eat, an delivered hot as always .

Always have each week, we love our take away meal.

The delivery driver was friendly. I would have liked more of a lamb flavour to the lamb but aside from that, the food was very good. Only one more feedback about the menu: some parts of this menu say "meat" as an option. It would be nice to know if it's beef or lamb as both can be referred to that way. I had to order the Malayan instead of the korma because the korma only says meat but I wasn't sure which meat. Stating which meat will really help with our choices. Thank you.

Disgusting food will not be ordering from here again.

Need to change menu as it saids if you spend over £40 you get free bottle of drink or cobra which isn’t true.

Although it was on time. He forgot the bottle of food which he delivered about 12 mins later.

we dined here and had a great time, it was not busy so no reservation necessary. the server was a very pleasant and nice to talk to guy who made the experience even better. portions were good size but a bit much for us and they were kind enough to give us a doggy bag to take it with us, so we ate the rest the next day and it was still delicious! 👍

Ordered from here tonight after going for 3 years what an absolute disappointment…. The jalfrezi smelt burnt once opened it was way too spicy for a jalfrezi it also didn’t have any of the ingredients that should be in this dish… chicken korma and chicken tikka masala also spicy too much for this dish and have ordered this for years. Called to complain which never happens only to be greeted by an imbecile on the other end of the phone who thought the situation was highly hilarious…. Order also didn’t come with dip that was ordered and the onion bhaji was full of grease… DO NOT RECOMMEND… lost our custom.

Bang tidy food. Absolutely yum. Best delivery driver. Knew exactly where to come. And I live on a boat 🫡

Top restaurant, great food and friendly staff.

All perfect definitely recommend

Empty restaurant and got turned away

The korma was so watery the bag was flooded with water when we opened, water all over packaging and in the onion bhajis, the korma did not at all taste like korma, like it’s watered down. So disgusted with the meal we have got here, will not be getting from here again ! Rice and sides were completely ruined ! Thanks the the watery korma. Horrible!

Ordered at 19:10 it’s now 21:00 and still not received my order phoned up sounds like they forgot to cook my order and was like will be another 20 mins phone down!!! 20 mins gone and still waiting Shocking service tonight

The food was barely warm, the garlic naan had no garlic in it. Will not be ordering from there again.

Food was OK, chicken rogan, no flavour at all not like a curry, no spice

Don't know why I keep ordering from here! Ordered half a tandoori chicken, requested 2 legs but told we had to have 1 breast and 1 leg. 2 very dry breasts arrived! I ordered extra mint sauce and received none! Onion bhaji uneadible as so over cooked and no sauce to make it better. When I called to complain I'm told that they will make it up to me next time! There will be no next time! Every time I order something is wrong, well no more and I warn you, if you order from here you will be sorely dissapointed!

Highly recommend 👌 top quality food 👌

The food was disgusting! Nothing to taste like Indian food, everything was very bad, very sweet !I will never order again , I put everything in the rubbish bin! And prepared my own dinner for my husband and my kid ! I don't know why you got good reviews when the food isn't good at all ! 😐 We are very disappointed!

Sold me rotten cauliflower,alo gobi,soon as I put it in my mouth you could taste it was rotten,and it was only item very hot, they knew it was bad,smelt bad as well.

The food at Tales of India is exceptionally delicious & amazing! I highly recommend this place.

Meat was a bit chewy but otherwise a fantastic meal.

Food was good and we received 2 free onion bhajis

We always have our take away from tales, an we both enjoy each time...our favourite..

Food excellent every time Never a problem

Very nice curry will use this Resturant again! Delivery was on time but had to wait over an hour

Joke of a takeaway 2 and half hours, still no food.

Really lovely place, very friendly staff and delicious food. Ask for the banquet dinner it's a 5 course meal for £14.95. We are leaving with food to take home because the servings are very generous. Definitely a place to come to if you feel like affordable and very good curry. The chutneys served with poppadoms at the starter are the nicest we've ever had! Kamal gave great service with a fantastic sense of humour. He will go out of his way to serve and advise on what curry you would enjoy.

I get delivery from here and every time the food has been excellent and within the timescale for delivery. Well done guys keep it up.

Totally disappointed with food and not value for money. We wasted lots of foods coz of quality issue.

Wasn’t quite ready to receive the food when it arrived. The app also notified me after we’d finished eating that it was on its way…

Paid for a bottle of coke and the restaurant has no intentions to bring it out missing off order

The food was good and we were pleased. Mixed tandoori really good - dad couldn’t believe how much meat he got. The food was only warm which was a shame, but had we heated up plates it would have been hotter. They remembered my extra mint sauce which was great. The justeat app & restaurant seem to say different things as the app said the food left the restaurant at 20.40, however when I called at 21.05, they said it had only just left 5 minutes ago. I would order again as I liked the food and it’s very good value for money. I would only order on a weekday though as over an hour on a Monday is a long time - I suspect longer on busy weekends! Delivery driver was very pleasant.

Called in to order a delivery and the guy answering the phone couldn’t take down my address properly and kept saying it wasn’t coming up on his screen . He then rudely put the phone down so will not be dealing with this restaurant again

Ordered a meal through their own website at 3.30 pm for delivery at 17.55pm an email was sent to me confirming my order, checked their website at 17.30 it confirmed my order, at 17.50 the website said my order was being prepared and that was the end. I called the restaurant at 18.30 and they didn't have any idea about my order, I used their website because they do no longer recognise just eat even though their website says they do. If you want your meal to turn up stay well clear of this restaurant.

Food was lovely but missing a Nan bread from the order.

Lovely food and fantastic service.

Food was ok. Not much flavour to the chicken dansak and chicken tikka masala, rice, naans, poppadums was good. Waited 15minutes longer at the restaurant when collecting also even though I was notified it was ready to be collected 5minutes before expected collection time.

Great tasting Indian and great value . Loved it and will be coming back for more .

Best Indian food I’ve had for a long time Will definitely be ordering again Too top quality

Such lovely people always made to feel welcome and excellent food

I highly recommend .The food very good , portion size sufficient my whole family very happy the gentlemen working in the restaurant very friendly 😀

Onion bhaji was boom, half tandoori chicken was very nice, roti and naan was still hot and very nice aswell. Both curries were also one of the best I've had in harlow.

This restaurant is my first choice restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. Whenever I feel like having a proper lunch or dinner , this place comes first to my head. Great and varied food and a rich cuisine.generous staff, and agreeable spirit. Also important, the price is good. I recommend this place with no doubt. Thank you from Now NUTRITION

Open for collection and delivery. Best indian curry in the stow.

Lovely food & on time, friendly delivery driver despite the pouring rain!

I would have given 6 stars but the Prawn Puree with bland and swimming in ghee however, the rest of the meal I couldn't fault tasty, the service was excellent yep I would or will order from there again

Great food! Only just started ordering from here food is very tasty

Food was 4/10. Asked for a bottle of beer in comments and didn't turn up. Wouldn't order from them again. Food was very watery and lack flavour.

Food was ok chips and nuggets were basic didn’t look very appetising

Had our 1st takeaway from here tonight, food was amazing very fresh, my husband is very fussy with his currys, but commented on how nice it was , shall definately be ordering again from here thankyou.

Food took over 2 hours to come. Staff were very rude when calling up to enquire on how much longer we had to wait. Was told they are waiting on the driver to arrive and didn’t know how long he was going to be. Poor lack of communication. Won’t be ordering again.

Food is always nice but I was told hour and a half as they are busy, 2 hours later and still waiting

The food was delayed over 40 minutes. When calling the restaurant to find out where our food was, they were particularly rude and hung up on me whilst speaking to them. They had put the delivery as ‘delivered’ at the due time even though we were yet to receive it so we could not cancel via just eat. Very disappointed this evening.

Always on time or just before. Foods always excellent. I love a hot vindaloo and here they are hotter than any where else I've tried In harlow and one of the tastiest so very happy. Have ordered a few times lately and will definitely order from here again.
