The Benfleet Tandoori in Castle Point - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

amazing food taste good lovely and hot

Easily the best in the area. Friendly and fast service and the food is top notch 👌 after giving this review the next two times I used the food was average at best...I've reverted back to Akash

After reading the reviews on this restaurant. I decided to take my wife here to celebrate our 47th Wedding anniversary. From the moment we walked in. I knew that I had picked the right restaurant. I was met by a lovely waitress who showed us to our seat. We also had a very charming waiter who took our drinks order. We started off with poppadoms and chutney, which were lovely and crisp and a nice verity of chutneys. Followed by a prawn puree for myself. It was very good with a lovely freshly made puree with prawns in nice sauce. Which was so large, it was enough to share. Our mains, as there was so much to choose from the menu. We settled for a main mushroom bhaji, chicken Tika curry, large pilau rice and a pishwari nan and butter nan. All the dishes were exceptional good. The flavours of both the mushroom bhaji and Chicken Tika curry, complemented each other. The pilau rice, was light and fragrance. The service was extremely good, efficient and professional. This is something you would expect from a very well established restaurant such as this one. All in all it made our celebrations of our 47th Wedding anniversary a night to remember. Thank you!!. I have no hesitation in recommending this as must visit to enjoy good quality Indian food.

We went this evening for my daughter’s birthday. The Tuesday/Wednesday deal is amazing value. Includes a bottle of wine per couple. Food was excellent. Staff very attentive.

Puri breads were poor and the food was tasty but greasy…no mint sauce too !!

I placed the order @ 19.31 and at 20.20 was still given 21.10 for a delivery this was too late so I drove to the restaurant to collect, this is unacceptable service from just eat and I expect some sort of refund.

Best food around as always we usually go to the restaurant but definitely going to alder takeout again ❤️❤️❤️

The quality of food from this restaurant has gone downhill.My last order wasn’t good but I gave the restaurant the benefit of doubt.The salad was dry and poppadoms broken again.Onion salad was far too filled with coriander.Usually I have a vindaloo but tried the Rogan..wasn’t up to standard and now unfortunately I will have to find another Indian restaurant which is a shame because this place used to be one of the best nearby

it tasted very vinegary I couldn't eat it

food was inedible poppadoms are stale only hot thing about the meal was the salad don't order

We go back to the uk a few times a year and this is the first restaurant we always visit forExcellent food . the service is superb and the young lady that served us was as always very polite and helpful . She is a credit to the restaurant. Very good value for money will definitely be going again the next time we are in the uk

Had an excellent meal , great service and good value

Beautiful food and amazing service.

Chicken was hard. Arrived late and no popadom like we ordered

Been going here Over the past year food really nice And good size But over the last month we'd been there on 3 occasions The portions have got a lot smaller The quality is not as good as it used to be Which is such a pity

Really good food, delivery was on time and the delivery driver was friendly and polite will definitely order again 😊

I’ve been to this Indian restaurant a lot of times and the last 2 or 3 time I’ve been it’s rubbish I’m now sitting in hospital over a tandoori RAW chicken that I had last night inside the Breast of chicken was completely cold and raw as you would buy it I havnt slept last night and now in hospital would not go there very bad

Friendly service, great food, reasonably priced.

Worst experience at a restaurant I've ever had. Took them over an hour to take our order even after asking numerous staff members to do so. Then it took a further 40 minutes to arrive by which time we had passed being hungry. Onion bhaji were raw and uncooked inside so were inedible. Staff incredibly rude and dismissive,actively avoiding eye contact with customers, no apologies, was not informed that there would be a delay. It was very busy but lots of staff who just seemed to be rushing around without actually doing much. The priority seemed to be on takeaway orders. We were out celebrating my Daughters birthday,it really spoiled the evening . There is absolutely no way I would ever consider going back. I only normally review places if I've had a good experience but I would hate anyone else to waste an evening and their money here. I cant get over what an awful experience it was,another two tables complained whilst we were there that we saw,one person who went to the desk to ask where their food was was told 'it's coming,sit down's It was like a scene from Fawlty Towers,if we hadn't already waited so long and if it had just been me and my Husband I would of walked out and to be honest I wish we had! .

2 and a half hours it took on a saturday night, food was good but forgot the chutney.

Lovely food, delivered hot and delivery timing was good.

Our first try of Benfleet tandoori and we weren’t disappointed! Curries were tasty and good size and we particularly liked the reshmi kebab which we tried for the first time and loved. We’ll definitely be ordering from here again!!

always good, no complaints from me.

I ordered a home delivery meal for 3 yesterday. It was easy to place the order , the delivery was excellent and the food was delicious. Good size portions and an overall excellent service

Amazing food Hot Always a good meal

Everything is always delicious

Very good, non veg thalis all round. Was enjoyed by everyone.

We will be going back & would recommend.Thank you .tina& tony x

I went to this restaurant in 2017 and really enjoyed it. This evening we decided to order a takeaway, which for the most part was inedible. The Manchurian lamb was by far the best dish, lamb was nicely cooked, however dripping in oil. Keema Paratha, rock solid and dripping in oil. I too the keema out of the middle, the only taste was salt and the texture was gritty. The mushroom Rice was over cooked, flavourless and wet. I ordered the Indian saag ponir, there were options for a cheddar version. The Indian one arrived was the cheddar one with bits of curd thrown in. Lamb samosa absolutely inedible. The salt was overwhelming. Will not be ordering here again

Good flavoured food, good portions and very friendly staff all at reasonable prices.

Awarding five stars across the board! From the moment we entered, the welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The meticulous presentation of each dish showcased an impressive attention to detail, and the flavors exceeded our expectations. A definite must-visit for food enthusiasts!

Truly outstanding! This restaurant has established a new standard for excellence. With a diverse menu catering to various tastes, impeccable service, and a warm atmosphere, it stands out as a top choice for any occasion. We can't wait to return and savor their delectable dishes once more!

A truly exceptional dining experience awaits! The ambiance was perfect, with attentive staff and a menu offering a delightful array of flavors. Each dish presented itself as a culinary masterpiece, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit.

Our first time ordering and it was really lovely, food was tasty and hot. We will defo be returning, delivery driver was friendly- really pleased

After a few disappointing meals from various restaurants, this was a welcome surprise! The food was all delivered hot and very testy. Only issue was the portion size of the chips - very small for the cost.

I went for a mid-week meal here with my son. Service with a smile, welcomed at the door and given a lovely table. Waitress is brilliant - so attentive and very friendly - as are the other staff. I had the Balti Special Masala (with Chicken Tikka). I can't recommend this dish enough. The flavours are simply amazing. My son said the butter chicken he said was also superb. Well done Benfleet Tandoori - we will be back for more!

Awful service, ordered take-away for delivery, website 45mins once order placed the App advised 1hour 20mins delivery, that passed and i gave another 15mins, i called them and they said we're just packing it so it will be 15 mins. It finally arrived 2 hours 10mins after i ordered. Even then the order was missing the Onion Bhajis and Chicken Dopiaza instead of Lamb as ordered. The driver apologised for the lateness but we expected a little more, maybe some Free poppadoms but nothing....very bad for a first order and last...

Took 3hrs to turn up. Ordered through app online

Lovely food. Piping hot. On time.

A wonderful driver and wonderful food, thank you

Food was really good … absolutely rubbish delivery time … was told after contacting them twice that they only had one driver …. In my opinion they shouldn’t have taken my order if this was the case … ordered at 6.30 got our food at 8.50 ….. won’t use them again

We went to this restaurant on Saturday 28th October at 7.30 was met by a very nice gentleman & taken to our table the restaurant was cozy & comfortable. We had wine & poppadoms then ordered our main it when it arrived it was all delicious & enough what we ordered . We will be going back & would recommend. Thank you .tina& tony x

Great atmosphere, great people and most importantly great food 🍲

Very tasty and filling food, and the portions were spot on. Definitely recommend and will order from again.

It should have arrived at 20.30 but turned up 21.30

Great food and delivered bang on requested time.

Fantastic food, highly recommend 👍

Tasty food as I wanted it on time and hot 👍

Fast & Friendly Delivery, Pipping Hot Food, What more could be asked.

Great food. Always arrives on time, boss that delivers is friendly and chatty, wouldn’t go anywhere else :-) x

Disappointed today as our onion bhaji starter was missing from our order and the lamb chops were tough and chewy.

Easily the best Indian restaurant around imo, cannot fault it!

Expensive and wasn’t great, £1.80 for 2 poppadoms that were stale and the masala and korma sauce went cold and hard not long after delivery. Couldn’t even chuck in some sauces for the poppadoms.. I’ll be going elsewhere in future.

Missed an item in the order but rang and they quickly dispatched the missing item. Will order from again.

Absolutely great! Will definitely use again.

This is hands down one of my favourite restaurants, the food always amazing, service always good plus it only a 5 minute walk from my house!

Amazing food tastes amazing best Indian takeaway

The best Indian in the area by far!

Excellent food and amazing service. Highly recommended.

The man was lovely late because of traffic and he did say sorry very nice man thanks

By far the best Indian food around, cannot fault it at all

Great food brilliant staff will definitely be going back x well done to you all.

Excellent food and service as always, wouldn't go anywhere else.

Food was superb however we stopped ordering from here as they kept mucking up the order and yet again items missing but they did send out pretty quickly so would order from again but not if the order is sent short again

Always an enjoyable meal from here and the delivery driver was on it as well 👍👍

Order was £6 more expensive than anywhere else ordered chicken madras and chicken tika balti didn't come with any onions pepper's or salad very dissapointed and will not order there again

fantastic service food is amazing and staff are very welcoming .highly recommend.

Do not order using the yoyo app. Spent £60 on a takeaway received an email 30mins later saying the transaction had been cancelled and the money would be refunded. The money has not been refunded, spoke to the restaurant who said they couldn't help and to speak to yoyo. Spoke to yoyo who said they have no way of tracking the payment and can't refund. So paid £120 for a £60 take away never ordering from here again!!!

Lovely food and friendly staff. Xx

Easily the best Indian restaurant in this area

Missed bottle of coke that cost £3.50!

My 1st choice for Indian takeaway 👍

Great service. Hannah is amazing and is a good laugh too. Food is consistently good. We have been going here for years because of it.

Excellent food & service as always 👌

Excellent food and service. Really friendly staff. Can't fault them.

Allways great lovely staff best Indian in benfleet 👍

Very disappointed with the briyanis. It had no flavour and was made with veg pulav. Not briyani.

Outstanding as usual, thanks again.

Didn’t not like the lamb curry @ all not what I expected not very good food didn’t enjoy at all. Will not recommend this place I would like to have my money back if I can.

Lovely food good service we will be going again

The estimated delivery time said 35-50 before we ordered but then was 1.5hours after we placed the order. The order was then 20mins late on top of that and only sent after we called to chase. They had also forgotten part of our order.

A nice varied menu and good food

Food is great however the last 5 times they have been very late in delivering up to 1hour and half will not be using again.

Delicious food! Delivery was a little late but the driver was very polite 👍

Lovely & tasty. Fast delivery. nice and hot.

Ordering starters you/I expect popumpdons sounds silly but part of the experience good good as always though 😉😊👍

Lovely food, great delivery by friendly lady Thank you

missing onion bhaji bit disappointed but food was absolutely lovely will order again

Love this place. Been going there for years. Lovely food, really friendly service.

Very tasty and warm. Ordered 4 poppadoms but only received one, made a phone call and within minutes a stack of them was brought round. Can’t fault the service

Very nice meal will defiantly be using again

The food was amazing tried the veg rice for the first time it was lovely and fresh and so was everything, generous portions of meat and King prawns! thankyou will be back as always

Great food. Fantastic friendly driver

The tikka masala was watery/oily the sauce was just literal water. Missed the sauces on the order. Ordered poppadoms and only got two. Chicken was rubbery. Food quality really wasn’t good.

First time I've ordered from here and I must say it wasn't the best. I won't order again. Chicken was very dry, and was very flavoursome.

Fantastic quality food but not as tasty the last couple of weeks. Let’s hope the normal chef is back soon. Still better than any of the other restaurants in this area. So far!

We went for a meal to this restaurant last night and were welcomed in from the friendly waiter. This was the first visit for a few years due to the pandemic. It hasn't changed much,it was a lovely meal with lovely staff. The food was excellent as well was the service. Would recommend this dining experience to the full. Lovely evening out Thank you again j.king

I’ve had a few good meals out of here recently but tonight’s has just let them down massively. Certain that was day old chicken I’ve just eaten. The popadoms was stale and the potato’s had seen better days. Shame really.

I have tried every Indian restaurant around this area. And this place is the best by far. Always good quality food, hot and always on time. And the delivery drivers are very friendly.

So much better from a restaurant based business than a takeaway soo much better tasting 👍😉
