The Italian Kitchen in Thurrock

Absolutely delicious and the portions were really generous. Unlikely to go anywhere else after this. I had the buttermilk chicken rice bowl and it was as lovely as I've had in any restaurant. Less than £7 and I am full and happy. Lots of gluten free choice too.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you guys. I went to every restaurant in the food hall tonight and was seriously let down by the gluten free options and lack of knowledge from other venders. The guy on your counter was really friendly (sorry not sure of names) but he was the only person to help me in the whole food hall by telling me what was and wasn't gluten free. Being coeliac he was the only food place that offered me an option and knew his stuff. I had the rice bowl and it was delicious and the portion size was really decent. 100% recommend 👌

Walk past here everytime tempted to try , finally did it and cant believe I left it so long to try it’s so good , staff was friendly and helpful and the food was delicious

Must visit indian spot in thurrock the butter chicken is absolute killer neat and good ambience with friendly staff

I recently visited Pali Kitchen at Lake Side, and unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. I ordered a samosa chaat, and it ended up being a huge mistake. Shortly after eating it, I felt extremely sick and even vomited. It completely ruined my day. The food tasted off. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent meal. Very disappointed, and I won’t be coming back.

Great tasty food, plenty of options, very nicely priced for the size of the portions, had a spicy bombay chicken rice bowl and a tandoori chicken kati roll and was very satisfied with my meal, definitely my go to place in the food court!

Lakeside visit to Pali kitchen The food is amazing full of taste and delight. We ordered a vegan chana masala wrap, chips and a drink. Service was excellent like the food. They will be seeing us again 🥰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was great. Freshly made Indian food priced reasonably. Staff was very friendly and helpful with the food options to choose from.

Was served by Jo and Yuvan and recommended me great food. Friendly too and welcoming!! Will deffo come back here to eat.

Excellent tasty,genuine food. The best in Lakeside shopping centre. The butter chicken rice bowl is fantastic.

Food was delicious and the server was super friendly! This place is so underrated in Lakeside!

Wow! I have walked past this place many times and been contemplating whether to try it and I'm glad I did what a wonderful experience the food is. Its very fresh and the spices are not over powering at all and it's wonderfully balanced would 100% recommend going here and I definitely will be again

Excellent place for Punjabi/Indian food and drinks. No place to sit inside, would be nice. So have to sit in the outside area. Very tasty, not to spicy food. Recommended 👍

The food here is sooooo delicious and authentic! I tried this out for the first time 5 days ago and I already came back today because I could not stop thinking about it! I got the Bombay chicken rice box and the portion was really good! Me and my friend also shared the samosa chaat and the fried chicken bites and it was honestly amazing! They also do a really unique drink which is mango lassi with popping boba and it is AMAZING! the food is delicious and worth every penny, you won’t regret it :) oh and I can’t forget, the staff are soooo lovely! 10/10 recommended 👍

Best food in lakeside foodcourt! Speedy service, delicious, the chana masala is the best!

They won't mix and match meats. Won't serve half and half.

By far the best food in lakeside.

Really nice patient staff. Big portion of food for around a tenner that was customisable and delicious. The food court itself where you need to go sit is pretty grubby but this is no reflection on the kitchen which is very clean and vibrant. If you're looking for a place to eat in the shopping centre then definitely go here.

Excellent gluten free could eat it again xx and we did thank the staff

Nice food and staff are so friendly speacially emil and jo

We had Pali @ lakeside. Lads were lovely & really tasty food. Thank you

Amazing food with great flavour. Can’t fault their customer service at all. Big up Joe thank you for being so welcoming, you deserve a pay rise!

Wrap flavours are weird. Tandoori chicken with rice inside is a bit odd and doesn't taste nice. No garlic sauce and no red meat option. A better idea would've been tandoori with onion salad with chilli and garlic sauce. And the chai was not great. Bit too strong on tea flavour and not enough or no evaporated milk. But the roti they use is perfect for wraps.

Excellent Indian street food! Excellent service. Thank you Bibin, Yuvan and Meshwa.

We stopped by yesterday for lunch. I had the nourish bowl with crispy fried chicken and my partner had the rice bowl with chicken tikka. It was absolutely delicious! Really fresh ingredients plus salad and toppings. The beetroot yoghurt is excellent. Served with a warm smile and reasonable for a big bowl of goodness! Wish there was a Pali Kitchen near me. ☺️

Wonderful experience, good food and good portions topped off with fantastic customer service. The boys behind the counter were simply great with warm welcoming smile and good interactions with customers even when it was busy with numerous customers (at Lakeside food court). Mr Jyotish (Jo) was very helpful in explaining the dishes and helping us choose. Mr Scott and Mr Bipin also joined in later to help each other. Keeping in mind that they start in the morning, their levels of enthusiasm are appreciative even at around 2 pm. The spicy chicken curry(moderately spicy) with rice is a must try and we are glad we went for that based on Jo’s suggestion. We also tried Kati rolls which was good(could have been a bit more spicier/we could have added a spicy sauce to it). We topped it off with couple of drinks and I would recommend the Kadak chai from them, which has a nice aroma and a hint of spice in it. The model is similar to a subway system, where you select your food followed by salad (Dont forget to add the Kale and chickpea salad) and sauces. Thanks Jo once more and we shall definitely come again.

The food was good and delicious. Butter chicken with rice is filling and tasty. Must try in Lakeside.

I tried the spicy Bombay rice bowl and it was so good. The salads were fresh and healthy. I never thought salads would go this good with rice bowls. The Mango lassi was also good but a bit expensive. But still worth it. The staff was friendly and was one of the best customer service in Lakeside.

I been to the Pali kitchen lakeside branch a couple of times and I must say they have the real authentic Indian food especially their Spicy Bombay and Tandoori chicken for Non veg lovers and Dhal makini for veg lovers. Moreover their presentation style and different combination is also spectacular. Most importantly the service and positive nature of staff

We were having a long walk on the lakeside shopping centre after a long weekend and had one of our best experiences in London dining at the Pali Kitchen thanks to Jo. Professional and kind, he provided a very class service and was attentive to every detail. Seating was cozy and comfortable. Dinner was excellent and we are definitely coming back. It was an incredible evening and we will always remember.

The best indian food i have ever had in my life in uk especially the butter chicken with rice and beetroot yogurt it’s yum❤️

The best Daal Makhni I had in London. The service was exceptional. Tried the samosa chaat and Vada Pav. Both were yummy. My friend tried the Spicy Bombay rice bowl. Bibin and Jo was very friendly and helpful.

Amazing place food tastes awesome with excellent customer service

PALI KITCHEN, wow what an amazing place to eat. Yesterday I visited the outlet for the first time and the experience was superb. Both bibin and uvan was so helpful and their suggestions was great. I highly recommend this place for good food and good experience!!🙌🤤

Pali Kitchen serves the best flavours one would never want to miss. Their customer service and ambience are the other exceptional factors that calls me back. I would like to appreciate each and every staff for their genuine service. They are the best! I can't wait enough to come again and explore more!

We ordered a samosa chat. It was too tangy and not at all the way we expected. Apart from Dal makhani nothing worth buying.

The food was delicious and staff was very friendly. Jo suggested me butter chicken and it was so good. Will be back. This is the best in Lakeside.

Took samosa chat but samosa was not fresh. It was from a supermarket like Tesco.

Lovely staff, I will visit again because of this staff and ofcourse Yummy food for a good value. Our first visit and really liked it.

Our family loves the food here, especially the chai! The rice bowls have an amazing balance of flavours, I particularly recommend the chana masala and butter chicken. This is what we look forward to on a trip to lakeside.

Visited the lakeside pali kitchen excellent food and great service from Ovuan ( sorry not sure spelt name right). Will be visiting again highly recommend :)

Being a vegetarian and craving for Indian food ! Well this is the best place to have it ! Quantity is really good and the dal makhani and beet root raita is a must ! Definitely recommended for a vegetarian

Heard a lot about this place and it’s quite new in the food court but it’s amazing. Very nice food and a good selection. We got a mixture of things to try and were very impressed. Will be going back for sure.

Eaten here a few times now, the staff are very friendly and the food is very delicious. Would definitely recommend, especially the butter chicken rice bowl.

I ordered butter chicken, samosa chaat and and chai and I can tell you it was well worth the money, very impressive and delicious and will for sure be having again and again

Food is always good and the service immaculate! Drive 1h each way to visit and it never disappoints. Needs more branches further north!

Menu needs to change or at rotate rather than same for every day because it is a small outlet with very options. Taste is great!

The staff were so lovely! Couldn’t fault them or the food at all! Will return definitely.

The best indian flavour I had ever tasted in the whole uk the butter chicken is just ❤️

The best and delicious ever… The flavours of tandoori chicken is still on my mouth ❤️

I ordered a chicken tikka wrap today and to be honest when I ate it I started felt like vomiting. The chicken in the wrap was hard and overheated . It looked as if it had been there for a few days . They charged me £11.00 and for what something that food poisoned me . I started having very bad stomach pains , and I still am .

I had the pleasure of visiting Pali Kitchen earlier today, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of delightful. I opted for the Nourish bowl and it exceeded all expectations – absolutely delicious! 😊 The flavours were so vibrant and perfectly balanced; it left me craving more. The experience was so exceptional that after finishing my meal, I couldn't resist ordering three additional dishes to take home for my family. The Rice Bowl with Chicken Tandoori, Rice Bowl with Paneer Tikka, and Krispy Fried Chicken were all incredible, accompanied by a mix of refreshing salads and the most heavenly roti. The roti, in particular, had that homemade touch that made it stand out. Feeding a family with diverse preferences can be challenging, but Pali Kitchen made it a breeze. Each dish catered to different taste buds, and there wasn't a single morsel left – a testament to how much we enjoyed every bite. I also want to express my thanks to the fantastic staff who served me. They were exceptionally nice and pleasant, adding to the overall positive experience. Thank you, Pali Kitchen team, for creating such a memorable culinary adventure. I'll definitely be back for more! 🌟

This is the best and only butter chicken I will ever have. I have never cared for Indian butter chicken. But this is to die for. Thank you. 😩💜

Food was amazing. Samosa chaat, vada pav and chhole rice especially! Rice was very good quality and properly cooked. Excellent quality, highly recommend

Great food, very tasty, served quickly. Especially kind dealing with my wife’s gluten free allergy

The food at the lakeside branch was absolutely amazing, Bibin was very helpful, polite and friendly. 100% recommended 👌 👍

Im really sorry to share this, but i ate from here and immediately had food poisoning from it. I had the kati roll, and i just cant tell you how bad i felt after 48hours vomitting and the rest...i wont go into it too much but please make sure their food is fresh before eating here

Great food and very friendly service! Thanks!

Today I had the best chat in London So fresshhh so balanced jst like a wow 🤩

Food was very tasty, place was clean. Staff were friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Oh my goodness! I'm such a foodie and thrilled to see this new little place open. A good variety to choose from, both veggie and non-veg, the dahl is absolutely amazing. Food is so healthy too! Service was quick and super friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

My mum and I tried Pali Kitchen today for the first time and all I can say is WOW! I don’t usually like Indian food, but the food at Pali Kitchen was outstanding! The Kati Roll was full to the brim and worth every penny! Will definitely be back soon! Thank you!

Very delicious, nutritious and fresh food. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend 👌

Was too excited to see Karak chai at Lakeside but a bit disappointed by the size and price, £3:45 for a tiny cup is too much!!

Great service from simas ! He never fails to serve me with a smile on every visit ! And Bibin is also great ! Thank you for great service

Food was so tasty with so much flavour. Simas was so friendly and gave amazing customer service. Highly recommend

This is the 2nd time I'm eating here and obviously not the last and that is mainly because of BIBIN that has been extremely nice and explained everything about all the dishes and got me to give it a try ; the food is excellent and the customer service as well, thank you guys !

Decided to try the food on a whim as it smelt so good, despite only having a curry the night before. Pleased to say it was all excellent! We tried the tandoori wrap and butter chicken. The latter was better than any delivery Indian food I’ve ever had. Will happily return often. Service was with a smile too

The food tasted great. A bit pricey in comaprison to the other fast food chains offering similar food, but can’t fault the taste. Friendly staff, keen on their product. You can ask for the salad to be added into a separate container if you want.

Just want to say how amazingly helpful and nice is BIBIN EACH TIME I have my lunch at lakeside !! So professional and respectful and always a smile as a bonus 🤗

Good service, well explained menu and assistance from simas and great food very filling!!

Amazing service !! Went in there for GF vegetarian food and was not disappointed. The guy that served me told me what I could and couldn’t have and was so on it. Couldn’t rate it high enough!

Went here for the first time today and oh my goodness the food is soooooo good

It was a really nice experience and the food was really delicious will recommend

Came out the lift and could smell the food instantly, smelt amazing, went over to have a look and service was amazing, the staff were really nice and friendly. Had the butter chicken rice bowl with 2 sides, right amount and really tasty. Would deffo go back. 😊

The KATI ROLL is absolutely incredible - we've eaten here two weeks in a row because it's just SO good. Don't be tricked by the other restaurants in the food court...they dont have a patch on Pali Kitchen!

Our servers name was Jo he was extremely helpful especially when my partner is very fussy he helped him decide a meal in minutes highly recommend

I got the tandoori chicken nourish bowl and it was outstanding. Lovely flavour combinations and really fresh. My partner got the paneer tikka Kati roll which was stuffed full with great toppings. We got the works on both with mint sauce. Will deffo go again in one of their central London locations!

Absolutely delicious! Fresh and authentic yummy

In a word.. Outstanding!! The ingredients were so fresh, everything spiced to perfection, the service was impeccable. I don't eat meat and there was plenty for me to choose from.. 10 stars!! ❤️

Unassuming until we got close enough to smell the food and.. wow! Had to try it and it was absolutely delicious. Fresh tasting, authentic Indian food. A good price and the bowls offer a great portion, enough for a dinner and at a good price. Excellent 👌

Awesome staff (Yuvan and Bibin) from Pali Kitchen Lakeside. Both of them are so friendly and welcoming us even we arrived just a minute before closing. Excellent customer service and yummy food. Many thanks

Amazing food and friendly staff

Amazing food and great customer service by Simas! Very friendly and helpful, the smell lingered right into primark and it lived up to the expectation! Definitely 10/10 always a go to if we are here!

Delicious 🤤, their service and quality, quantity for price is amazing. Loved everything ❤️

Really tasty food, portion size is bigger than I was expecting. Very fast service

Super friendly and helpful, helped created a rice bowl with superb food choices and combinations. The food itself is fantastic, and raises itself above the other food chains in the food court. Service 5*. Food 5* price 5*

Fabulous food, stopped by the delicious smells and they didn't disappoint!! So very tasty.

Food was amazing. So much flavour and the tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection, the salad was crunchy and fresh and all the yogurts and sauces that came in the Nourish Bowl was a huge bonus. Huge portions also, so will need a doggy bag :) sandy

Absolutely amazing food and service!

Would have loved to try the lovely looking food here but they decided to close 40 minutes early for some reason. All other food stores were open

Great place for Indian food no doubt!

Went today as was recommended by a friend, lovely fresh food and great service from Simas who gave me samples to try so I could choose my perfect combo 😀

Stop 🛑 what your doing and head here! The member of staff met us with a smile and was very informative about the food and he cleanly was happy to help. The food itself looked great and so appealing, the taste sensation for fast food made this the best place I’ve EVER visited for fast food hands down. Please give them a go (warning it’s spiced) and it’s only 500cal in the bowls so healthy too

Food is unreal!! & great priced. The restaurant is soo underrated

Absolutely stunning food! Fresh, quick & easy Great informative & friendly staff!

Fantastic food, definitly try the kati roll! So good if you love a burrito, this is one for you! All of the options are delicious, wish I had tried this place sooner!

The butter chicken rice bowl is 10/10. Can make it really spicy too and service is amazing, would 100% recommend the karak chai too

Best Indian option around lakeside.

I asked what they recommend and made me the best possible meal
