The Imperials Kitchen in Maldon

The best Indian restaurant in Essex,I wouldn't go anywhere else

Fantastic place,great food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

Booked to go Saturday night with friends, wasn’t overly busy when we arrived but soon filled up. Venue is lovely and is very clean, staff friendly enough, bathrooms in very good order. So started off not great, chap taking the drink order was having trouble understanding what we wanted (2 pints of larger, coke and Diet Coke) to drink. At least the drinks did arrive correct. Then came the food order and again the chap was having trouble, so much so a younger waiter took over. Food arrived with no mistakes but did have to wait for a couple of dishes as it didn’t all come out together which is not good, especially as one of the dishes was rice so couldn’t really start without it, or should I say we didn’t want to. If Im honest my chicken madras was very bland which is very unusual for here normally it’s full of flavour, maybe it was because the owner wasn’t working there this night or they were just having an off night. Will we go again, yes as I’m hoping this was just a bad night for them.

Was not impressed with the food. the Madras tasted like no madras I'd ever had before. The saag aloo was very dry, as was the rice. Won't be ordering again sadly.

I don't normally write reviews but I’ve got to say this, the whole concept work on so many levels. , very authentic and tastes delicious Amazing food, the flavours were the best fresh ingredients are used and you can tell a lot of pride and passion has gone into each dish Pretty impressed I'd recommend THE RAJ at Maldon to anyone to try, you will not be disappointed or hungry!!! One of the curry and all sort of Indian food I’ve ever tasted . My whole family and I love their food and we’ve been a customers for many years as well as most of my mate . Just to mention that all food are cooked freshly by a decent respectful family as they do cook from heart. You feel like you eat at home and what a great amazing customer service if I could give more that five stars trust me I would . Thank you to THE RAJ AT MALDON & everyone at this lovely restaurant specially to the MUM AND DAD for the best food I've had in a long, long time! WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE AMAZING AND DECENT GENUINE FAMILY WHI COOK CROM THEIR HEART.🙏🙏❤️❤️
