Tanishq Restaurant & Bar in Epping Forest

Good food and service but the music was far too loud

The food was 45 minute late the food was crap

This place is fantastic, I can't believe we didn't discover it sooner. The food is excellent, and the personalised table service is amazing. The drinks and cocktails are delightful. It made me want to try everything on the menu! This is one of the best dining experiences we've ever had, we can't wait to return. You won’t regret giving this place a try, cannot recommend this enough.

Absolutely amazing food, a real taste sensation. Everything is cooked to perfection. Great service and decor all set within a great setting.

Food and service was excellent - Lovely flavours and lovely decor topped with great friends. Thank you for hosting a surprise 50th treat. Spread the word to get the place buzzing

Good food and clean good service

Indian Restaurant In The Woods.

Nice experience about this restaurant Good food and excellent service

Literally the best Indian I have ever had with such finishing touches and extras We are back next week in fact !

We went on Saturday for first time and I can say it’s the best Indian food I have tasted for a long while. The staff are wonderful and so attentive without being overbearing I cannot praise the restaurant enough

Yesterday we went for dinner…beautiful place..food was delicious and very good service. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy….we love to go again.🥰

Excellent Service! Deserts are amazing!

I hope the team reads this review- this is not Indian food... Coming from an English background, this as an abysmal attempt to cater to the local palete. However the only palte this is suitable for are COVID victims who may have lost their taste or hospital patients (who need bland tasteless food). Unfortunately, the only credit I can give this restaurant is the outside terrace, and the inside of the restaurant, which is nicely done. However, that is about where the positives end. The food is by far the worst "Indian" food I have had- bland, no taste, far from normal Indian food would even taste like. The saag paneer was undercooked, with no taste yet alone spice and salt. The butter chicken tasted even worse- bland, no salt, no substance, no taste. Extremely poor for the establishment it is set in. Service was mediocre. Food - Terrible. I don't think the chef or team are even Indian- there was no authenticity in any dish ordered. Price wise- overpriced for what was served. I would say mediocre at best, but this would be below mediocre. Very disappointed, and will not be visiting for food at least again.

Our family had a delightful experience at Tanishq Restaurant. From arrival, We were greeted by a beautifully lit entrance displayed with flowers which created a welcoming tone. We booked beforehand and were greeted by a waiter. The atmoshphere was very modern, clean and elegant. The waiters were friendly and helpful and ensured we had a luxary experience. The restaurant was spacious and the waiter allowed us to choose the biggest table at the back where we were able to enjoy the Golf Course view. The food was exquisite and delicately presentated. The prawn was tender and chicken curry had a rich taste. We were able to mix everything with the biryani and naan which was delicious. The Tandoori Platter had a smoky flavour and Veggie Platter was very tasty. After we finished our meal, The owner personally approached us to ask about our experience and if we enjoyed the food. We were all impressed with the service and was definitely the best Indian Restaurant we have ever been.

travelled all the way from Birmingham and the customer service was amazing, place was stunning and food was just perfect. worth the journey

Visiting this venue with my family from Birmingham was an incredible experience for us.Atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing,staff were very polite,owner was so welcoming.Food was amazing,definitely going to visit again.such a lovely evening we had.would highly recommend this venue to others to celebrate any occasions x

i went to the tanishq resturant whilst i was visting London from Birmingham.Amazing customer service and has to be the most beautiful resturant i have been too.The food was 10/10 and it also had an outdoor golf area with a water fountain which is great if you are looking for a fancy resturant to go to.will definatley be back again the next time i visit London and i highly recommend.

Brilliant venue, great food, attentive service. In stunning settings!

Impeccable service and impeccable food! One of the best indian restaurants i have been to ever! Cant commend it enough. Staff went above and beyond to make it the ultimate Full Enjoy Experience. Even gave us complimentary dessert. Thank you! Will definitely be back.

We visited yesterday following a recommendation. Really pleased we did make the 50 minute journey. Beautiful setting. Modern and exceptionally clean. Staff very pleasant and helpful. The food was exceptional. Not your usual run of the mill Indian. Be surprised and look at the desserts menu….not an ice cream in sight. Beautiful, tasty combinations. If you are reading this review, then reserve a table here, you will not be disappointed.

high quality Indian restaurant with great service. recommend highly

What a Gem of a restaurant set next to beautiful views of the countryside and golf course. The restaurant has many elegant and different areas to sit in. The food is not only delicious but a work of art. The desserts and food are Michelin star quality. It's well worth the drive to get away from the hustle and busle of City life to this hidden paradise. There is no restaurant that comes anywhere near Tanishq for a mind blowing experience of joy to the pallet and eyes. Can't wait to get back there with friends to see their shock of delight seeing this wonderful restaurant and experience fine dining. Huge secure carpark ample space for all types of vehicle. The staff are conscientious and have very nice personalities. I have been to many high class restaurants in UK and Tanishq is the winner.

Visited for the first time last Wednesday. Really impressed with the location, decor, friendly staff....and of course wonderful food (great vegan choice, including dessert!) Mentioned in conversation we were there to celebrate our engagement....Next thing we knew a beautifully decorated fruit and flower plate was brought out for us, so sweet of them!

Been here a couple of times now, this place, all round, is so nice!! The atmosphere, people, food and desserts, all amazing!!! Set in beautiful surroundings in toot hill! Don't think of the usual Indian food which is nice, this has a twist with beautiful desserts, if you want something different try this place out you won't be disappointed 👍😊

Exquisite food, beautifully friendly staff/owner/chef. Went above and beyond in their hospitality. Such a warm inviting atmosphere set in idyllic surroundings. Enjoyed every minute, time just disappeared. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to all. Overall a dining experience fit for royalty

Highly recommend this restaurant! Cannot fault it in any area. The location and interior is beautiful, the food is delicious and the service was amazing! Highly recommend the desserts, it was very light and refreshing, and you can tell it made with a lot of effort just by looking at it. The dessert chef even kindly came to explain all the desserts, and our waiter was also nice enough to explain all the dishes in detail and was very helpful throughout our meal.

Beautiful restaurant in a lovely location excellent, food, really attentive friendly staff, a fantastic dining experience. Very enjoyable evening would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing food, great service! Defo coming back very soon.

We've been meaning to come here for a while as my mother's friend lives down the road, and we always pass this place enroute to see him. We went on a whim yesterday and although I felt rather underdressed - I'm so glad we did. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. The interior is what you would expect from a Michelin starred establishment. The food itself was outstanding. I wasn't really hungry and was only out as I didnt want to go to bed without dinner however I finished everything on my plate - including the complimentary aperitif and mini desert taster. My partner and I ordered based on yhe recommendation of the waiter which did not disappoint. The dishes offered were a mix of your classics as well as some I'd never heard of, which all looked absolutely delicious. I had to take a picture of the desert menu as I simply didn't have room to have one unfortunately, but I was so impressed with the selection and ingredients, I wanted to show my mother who has a sweet tooth. Last of all, thankyou to the staff, including Dida - the owner's son. Beyond attentive, polite and friendly. Dida even escorted us to the outside gates as if he were hosting us at his own home. The only negative is that this restaurant isn't situated in a location with the footfall it deserves. I'm sure it would be constantly packed if it were. Thankyou once again and we will be sure to come back along with empty stomachs so I can try alot more of your menu:) 5 stars all round

Food and service fantastic Will be back very soon ❤️

Our first time dinning at tanish q and the food and service was amazing. The chef even served us our deserts which felt special. Our server Kibs really looked after us. Lovely evening. 😊

A lovely night out for a special occasion. Food was wonderful. Highlight was the lamb chops for main, so tender! Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Great food especially the desert ,curry was great such a different taste

Great food, great scenery and great atmosphere, what more could you want out of a restaurant! Throughly enjoyed and would return again.

Came here with family, perfect atmosphere, scenery and great food. Dessert was one of the best I’ve had. Will be coming back soon!

Beautiful surroundings and an elegant décor. Friendly staff, food was excellent bursting with flavour and right size portions. Advice if you like your food with chilli speak to restaurant management and ask for food to be made spicy 🌶️ they will kindly oblige as they did for us delicious dessert and drinks x

Sheer brilliance from Imran and his team last night…venue, food, drinks and service truly amazing… we normally only spend 40 mins in a restaurant and leave… we were here for over 2.5 hours … we were made to feel so welcome. This is my new local Indian (even though it’s an hour away from men… well worth every mile of that drive!) .. thanks Imran and team!

What a wonderful dining experience. Food, service, atmosphere was 10/10! Thank you for going above and beyond to make our evening an incredible one. We also truly appreciate all your help with arranging a taxi to pick us up as we had trouble with an Uber coming to get us because it was late. Thank you for keeping the restaurant open and making sure we were safe. We can’t wait to come again. Thank you again.

We had such a wonderful meal at Tanishq tonight and would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Kashmiri Rogan Josh main course and the desserts. It was a lovely evening and look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

We had a fabulous meal at Tanisha. Would highly recommend for a sumptuous and delicious modern Indian fine dining experience

Best Indian I have ever had. The new Jewel of Essex. Not a place for a madras and 4 pints. Elegant, Professional excellence in food and service. Will be coming back very soon.

Valentine's day. Staff was attentive. Did was delicious. Fantastic!

Had a wonderful dining experience in Tanishq restaurant last night. The whole ambience, food, service was excellent. The owner himself was taking care of his customers which made our dining experience more wholesome. When he got to know that it was wedding anniversary he was very kind to offer us a dessert on the house and made us feel very special. I would recommend this restaurant anytime to anyone. Kudos to the whole team for the brilliant effort..

5 stars all the way for this Indian fine dining restaurant, food is Indian on another level ! Outstanding service!, staff could not do enough for you! Atmosphere was fabulous. Price wise it is expensive but don’t be put off as the price reflects the quality! The only thing I could suggest is the wine should have been colder. I will highly recommend this restaurant! Well done guys!!

The interior design is great, the food and service are extraordinary.

Great experience this a beautiful and fantastic at Tanishq Restaurant and Bar in Ongar fantastic place to eat at, 👍 and i personally found the food excellent , service and quality was absolutely great with lovely staff and the owner’s themselves of restaurant are lovely people , and will always eat here again in the future 🙏

A beautiful laid out restaurant. The staff were very polite and attentive. The food was top quality and if your looking for Indian cuisine not like your local takeaway then this is your place. Beautifully cooked and exquisitely presented a very reasonably priced. The owner and chef meeting and greeting the guests when we had our desert was a nice touch. Highly recommended for any occasion.

The food is absolutely amazing, top quality.Indian cuisine on a different level.Beautifully presented and wonderful flavours. The Staff was incredibly attentive and friendly.Highly recommend for an Indian with a difference.

Dining at Tanisq was an unparalleled experience. From the first bite to the last, every dish exuded culinary brilliance. Impeccable service, exquisite flavors, and a refined ambiance—truly deserving of its Michelin star. An absolute must for those seeking gastronomic perfection.

I was at Tanishq with few friends and it was an amazing experience. The food was simply delicious with high quality service. It was a value for money. The view of the restaurant is also very nice.

The food was amazing. The venue was great! I defos will be back. Service is amazing.

Food menu had very little variety, it was so expensive definitely not worth it. I got a bottle of Lemonade the guy poured it into my long glass and it was only 1/4 full. He left it like that. I was drinking barely anything out of this tall glass wasn’t happy. Service was nice the guys there were lovely opening doors and taking our coats. Atmosphere was beautiful the restaurant is such a pretty place to be and the lovely water fountain outside was so nice to look at. But other than that I won’t be coming back here.

Most Amazing Indian i have ever tasted, i stated with the scallops which was delicious the chicken korma ( A recommendation) which was not your usual korma was tender and delicious i ended the meal with a mango dessert unbelievably tasty....ever dish on our table looked Amazing even the poppadoms and side's....definitely recommend hopefully visit again very soon.

Great restaurant!! Everything about it feels new, carefully thought out and well executed. The decor is modern, yet very comfortable and it’s easy to relax, especially with one of their signature cocktails in hand. The service was very attentive and every member of staff held themselves to a really good standard (evidenced through uniforms and conduct). The food was fantastic throughout, special shout out to the lamb shank and the Mango Delight dessert - heavenly! Overall a truly 5 star evening, we will be going back.

Manager MR IMRAN KHAN .excellent customer service. Explained food safety and allergy concerns. And the the all . Please if you are allergic to something please 🙏🏽. Informed anyone member of staff. Take care bye HERO

Amazing food. Indian cuisine on a different level!. Beautifully presented and wonderful flavours. Staff were very friendly and a lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back . Highly recommend for an Indian with a difference!

I would highly recommend Tanishq restaurant. The ambience and decor of the restaurant was clean and immaculate down to the small details. The service of all the staff was outstanding. They were welcoming and the head chef came around to introduce himself. All the staff were very polite, friendly and attentive. The quality, freshness and taste of the food was outstanding. It is high-end Michelin quality cuisine and presentation. Would highly rate the restaurant as an alternative to travelling to central London.

We were recommended to visit and we were not disappointed. The service was perfect, and the team recognised my parents from their previous visits. The food was presented beautifully and tasted lovely. Could not fault the whole experience. I hope you have all the success this deserves, we will most definitely be recommending our customers here. See you next time...

Food was great, service was great and the restaurant is beautiful

To find an Indian restaurant of this high quality in a semi rural location is fantastic. It has been refurbished inside to an extremely high standard and the staff are very knowledgable and welcoming The prices are not cheap but the depth of flavour, quality of meat/fish and presentation is outstanding We visited last night for the first time and have already booked a revisit - it was a most enjoyable evening

Nice food but over priced, especially the wine list. The pudding menu was very good however.

Food fantastic, service great 👍

My husband has been here twice before and raved about the place so we went for our anniversary and it didn't disappoint! Food is AMAZING most delicious starters and mains but the dessert is out of this world! If you go here you have to try a dessert! Staff are attentive and decor is very plush! We will definitely be back. Everyone should try this place as it is fantastic!

An amazing Indian! The food was absolutely incredible and we could not fault. We each has the tasting menu with the paired wines. The views are absolutely stunning of the golf course. The interior is very trendy and modern. All the staff were very kind and lovely. Highly recommend! We will return to try more dishes!

This was a truly delightful visit. Indian food at its finest and done really well 💯 For starters, I had the eggplant rallotini which was stuffed with vegetables. The combinations of chutneys/sauces that garnished this dish were truly tantalising and offered the right balance of zing. For mains, I opted for the Malai Kofte, the gravy to this was a treat on the tongue, offering the perfect creaminess and when dipped in the coriander and garlic naan this was a match made in heaven. Although I was royally stuffed by this point, the desert menu was too tempting to pass! We went with the Hazelnut and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Twist which had so many textures and elements and the right balance of sweetness. The ambience and service were also faultless. Shout out to Kay our waiter who was lovely and even threw in an extra desert for our special visit. A must visit if you’re looking for class Indian food with a little something different 😃😋💯

My husband and I had dinner at Tanishq last night for the first time. We will definitely be adding this restaurant to our list of favourites. The food was amazing and all the staff very friendly and helpful. We were served by Babu and Onim and they were wonderful. We also got to chat to the chef and also the pastry chef too. We were made very welcome and we can't recommend this restaurant enough. A 5 star experience for sure!

What a venue! First class service with high end food and presentation. Great value for money. Highly recommended

A Welshie, Bangladeshi & an Indian walk into a restaurant.... & love it. Pretty location. Nice decor. Good staff. Pricey but worth it. Go Sunday to Thursday & book by quoting the 20% off opening offer b4 15th Oct. You'll go again.

An exceptional experience from start to finish, beautiful surroundings, stylish restaurant, out of this world food. Staff are friendly and attentive, great atmosphere, I really recommend this restaurant. This is fine dining with an Indian twist don't expect just another curry house, it's so much more! Definitely leave room for dessert you won't be disappointed

I being to this restaurant several times.This restaurant one of the lovely restaurants in whole Essex.This restaurant will get michelin star very soon.Highly recommended .

Excellent customer service and food was so good . I highly recommend that tanishq restaurant in ongar. Go check out the restaurant.

Quality of the food is beyond our explanation.Staffs are super friendly and caring.Will be there again and again.Highly recommended.

Had the most amazing evening here. The food, drinks, service & ambience were all impeccable. 10/10 Z our server was fab!

Outstanding! I visited last week with a friend and was so impressed I took my husband tonight to enjoy this culinary expertise! This is a totally different Indian dining experience...Indian spices, French presentation and top quality British produce. This is our go to 'West End' dining, but in a beautiful setting in Essex. Imran is completely charming and a perfect gentleman, Mo has a panache for making you feel special & his knowledge of the menu is impeccable. The staff are a credit to the restaurant, polite, smiling and friendly. Cannot wait to sample the further delights of their menu that we haven't yet tried...but, leave room for dessert, unbelievable!

Absolutely fantastic experience at Tanishq Restaurant and Bar in Ongar! The ambiance was captivating, creating a perfect setting for a delightful evening. The menu was a culinary journey that satisfied both the eyes and the palate. From appetizers to desserts, each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavors. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, Tanishq is a gem in Ongar's dining scene and deserves every bit of its five-star rating. Can't wait to visit again!

Great food, definitely not a curry house .Very friendly, excellent service . Special mention to our server Babu , he was very attentive .Will definitely return.

New fine dining Indian restaurant had opened in Totts Hill Golf Club. We tried it and it was amazing food and service. The Chef is Michille star and unusual for Indian restaurant to have a pastry chef also. We are personally assisted by Mo who helps us choose the dishes and explained fully what ingredients were included before ordering. I don't normally have a dessert in Indian but the pastry chef came out explained his dishes so had to try and it was mouthwatering. Well worth a visit for special occasion or if you like to treat yourself to high class dining expereince. Quality and service beats high end London restaurants. I would highly recommend it and I am quite fussy with my food.

Excellent food with excellent staff. Came here for my wife's birthday and we were not disappointed. Cocktails were on point, food was excellent and the staff went over and beyond especially for kids. Highly recommended place for dinner!

Great Place , amazing food also a special Thanks to Babu to be so kind with us. Renato , Angela and Little Giulia

Absolutely lovely food, exceptional service and thoroughly wonderful location. Meat and veggy options equally delicious (paneer main terrific) and able to take home anything we didn’t manage on the evening. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent food. A very sophisticated take on Indian cuisine. Everything was delicious! Lovely restaurant. Really stylish and great views out over the golf course. The staff were very attentive and looked after us well. Highly recommended.

Food was truly excellent as was the presentation, the service was second to none extremely attentive, the chef came out to introduce himself which was a really nice touch. Would strongly recommend this restaurant

Lovely experience, food was delicious. The atmosphere was Amazing. Defo recommend going at sunset.

The food is absolutely amazing, top quality, I highly recommend, will be coming again but will hire for birthday party. Thank you

Wow, simply sublime! This is Michelin quality. The food was incredible and the interior is stunning. All round great evening. Thanks for the service, will be coming back!

First time visiting and it did not disappoint. A wonderfully designed restaurant within a beautiful setting . The chef can only be described as a magician with his ability to transform and contort the food in to sensational dishes which send your taste buds into overdrive. Thank you to the owner and chef for an exceptional evening. JW

We went for our anniversary, amazing food and Sevice. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and a great service! Will be back!

Popped in late Thursday night for some food after a game of golf. The food and hospitality was amazing. One of the best Indian meals I’ve had, as good if not tastier than the Michelin restaurants in London. Very special place. One to revisit again and again.

Outstanding West End fine dining quality food, in beautiful surroundings, everything we had was so fresh and immaculately presented. Absolutely blown away with how good this restaurant is, all the staff were super friendly and attentive, food is so so delicious, we will be back very soon. This is now one of the top restaurants in Essex without doubt.

The food is amazing; good quality and beautifully cooked. Such good service; the staff are excellent! The location is stunning.

Wow what a Fabulous Restaurant. Can't wait to revisit. Great staff and service too

Great al round experience would recommend to everyone I know. Probably the best Indian restaurant I've found for a long time

What a beautiful resturent over looking the golf course! Highly recommend this place ! Mayfair standard food in Essex! Service was top notch! Can’t wait to be back!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I had an incredible dining experience at Tanishq Restaurant! The butter chicken and biriyani were simply delicious, bursting with authentic flavors. But what truly stole the show were the in-house made desserts - they were exceptionally amazing, unlike anything I've ever tasted before! The combination of flavors was a delightful surprise. Highly recommend trying their desserts! The overall ambiance and service were also top-notch, making it a perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to visit again!

Wow! What a gem of a place! Beautiful location, stunning interiors. The food is amazing and so beautifully presented and executed by the chefs. Bravo Imran and your wonderful team, so friendly and attentive .... wish I could remember all your names ....Hussein and all thank you for making a 37 year anniversary so special

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and the whole experience was wonderful. They sat us in our own dining area and the service was top tier. The food was to die for and left us wanting more even when we were full to the brim! The desert was on another level - beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back again for some different dishes.
