The Kismet Balti House in Colchester

This place is very good. Been here 3 times so far and always had a great experience. Come from the other side of town just to collect it. Great food, service and good value.

First time ive ordered here and im not happy. Even though the food was really early, the currys had no flavour and my one was really runny. And some of the chicken was tough. Also, the chips were so dry like they came out of a skip. They certainly wasn't cooked from fresh as they were shrivelled up like they have been left for hours and were like dry cardboard... they looked that old.. as I said first time ordering from here and let me tell you it will be the last time I will order from here.

Always reliable, good price and good quality

Indian preheated food, lamb is terrible and cold as I tried much better in Hertfordshire Indian restaurants.

We have never used this place before the food was great and lovely and hot and it arrived early we will definitely be ordering from here again

Best food we have ever had, absolutely made out anniversary, the driver was also so friendly and an awesome guy 10/10 would eat here again!!

lovely driver .beautiful food as always thankyou kismet

First time ordering from this restaurant, and I have to say I was extremely satisfied overall, Food was delivered right on time by a lovely friendly driver, and the food was absolutely beautiful! Also got some added extras which was a nice surprise. Kismet, you are my 'go to' Indian restaurant from now on. Keep up the good service and food.👍

Absolutely delicious i FULLY 100% recommend and will be ordering again

Tasted very nice, can’t fault a thing

Best Indian I’ve had in a very long time! Will definitely order again!

Probably one of the worst curries I have had. Food very bland, very tasteless. The cheese naans.... didn't detect any cheese. The poppadums seemed stale. Will not be ordering from here again.

Best curry I’ve had for a long time

quick derlivery,great food..my go to curryhouse..

Great food, it is piping hot when it arrived Totally on time and absolutely delicious...Will 100% order from here again. Portion sizes very generous, they actually beat us ! We had chicken pasanda and vegetable vindaloo, the chicken was flavoursome and the vindaloo really pulled a nice punch of heat ! Best Indian in Colchester

Really good quality. Good time on delivery and piping hot.

Always brilliant food,lovely as ever!

The BEST Indian Food I've had since living on Brick Lane, London

Appalling service from these cowboys. Been using these for years I had a bad quality takeaway and complained. From there on I decided to give them another chance but they blocked me from ordering. Disgusting service

Only place I’ll get an Indian from.

Big portions, reasonable priced, nice service, lovely food. What more do you want from a curry takeaway? Quick to prepare as well and easier to pick up. Enjoyed and great value.

Tasty and food hot. Polite and friendly delivery driver

Lovely meal for one that could easily feed 2…!

lovely Indian..great food..great value

Great food, but early on delivery.

Really nice! Delivery driver was lovely too!

Arrived thankfully earlier than expected and piping hot. Loved the food and will order again

Excellent food as ever, best in the town.

Best i have had in Colchester Thanks

First order from Kismet. Food was quite nice although 3 x naan'a were tough and inedible.

Fantastic fresh beautiful quality food

Nice food..quick delivery..good value

Amazing food, always piping hot! Not greasy like others we’ve tried. By far the best Indian takeaway in Colchester!

Excellent as always. Thank you.

I forgot some rice on my order they said they would get to me as soon as they could.

the food is always good and has great flavor. always use this restaurant

Great food again - best Indian takeaway in Colchester ( & we have tried them all )

Brilliant food, excellent service

Really nice, got the rice wrong but apart from that it was delicious and well priced

Love the food just eat need to update maps on there app

Brilliant food and service as always A+++

No restaurant as take away only so ignore rating

Very nice meal as usual. Hot tasty and spicy. Thank you.

Slighlt cold but 10/10 for taste

Was hoping it would arrive early and wasn’t disappointed. Great food as always too yummy

Easy to order and deliver no hassle restreraunt

Ordered from here on recommendation from a friend. A group of 6 friends thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Food arrived on time, piping hot and full of flavour. Definitely a new favourite for when I'm back in the area. Thank you.

Honestly, one of the best curry houses in Essex! Everything is full of flavour and tastes incredibly fresh

One portion of onion bhaji totally overcooked and inedible. Not usual standard from you.

Always a great meal never been disappointed

Brilliant as ever, only Indian we use!

Very tasty and a pleasure to eat. Thank you.

Am Amazing 😻 !!! Thanks No words needed just aMazing

One of the best curries I've ever had

Always great food, tasty and full of flavour. Best Indian restaurant in Colchester I have found 👏🏻

Food was delicious and delivery man was pleasant. Thank you

Very tasty curry. We both enjoyed our meal. Would order from kismet again. Thank you.

Very tasty chicken Bhuna, I recommend Kismet for their taste delicious meals.

Food was 10 mins over time requested

Nice flavour but a shame they use frozen mixed veg in curry with bryani & not alot of chicken in it either but tasted good.

Food is always great every time we order

Had a "meat" balti. It was very good, savoury as it should be. The saag bahji was good too. My mother had the chicken dansak and seemed fine with it. I find them too sweet myself. It was odd to have to choose "meat", not beef or lamb for the balti! Had to rate restaurant service as didn't have experience of that so it's weird to be asked in just-eat.

Excellent food. Lamb tikka bhuna and madras were packed full of meat and a very tasty sauce. Rice was light and fluffy and spot on. Only thing that let them down was the onion bhajis were a bit over cooked and couldn’t really eat them as they were so crunchy and crispy. Otherwise I can’t fault Kismet. Definitely my new go to Curry house!

Good value, good portions, tasty!

second time using this takeaway, which was recommended to us. The first order was on time and the food was really tasty, however the second order was not so good. One item was missing and two other items were cold when delivered. sadly this will be are last order from here

Awful cold tasteless bad quality food!! I did complain many times to just eat and was ignored !!

A little frustrating to pay for chicken tikka and to get normal chicken but the food was tasty.

Really good food, not greasy, hot and fresh!

I regularly order from here & have done for about 4 years. I try other places at times but they are one of the best

excellent Indian..great delivery service..food always hot and very tasty..great value for money..will order again

Excellent. Will definitely order again.

Meal was fresh, hot and delicious. Thankyou

Excellent Food Best Curry In Colchester By Far. Delivery Driver Very Friendly Kismet Balti House Shows How Take Away Should Be Done 10 Out Of 10 From Me 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Fantastic fresh takeaway ! The whole of it tasted freshly cooked & with good ingredients The sag aloo had nice big potatoes, the Bhuna tasted great & the mushroom rice had nice well cooked mushrooms & the Peshawari naan was great ! The only fault was that I ordered chicken tikka but only got plain chicken 🙁 otherwise a great curry & would definitely order again

Always excellent food and good service👍😎

As always a fantastic meal......nearly always consistent...thank you!

Didn’t feel well the next day after eating this still feel a bit ropey now them chicken pikoras weren’t good

One of my favourite Indian takeaways!

The food was nice but dishes were luke warm naan was cold. Service was good

Went and collected it as delivery time was little too late but forgot part of my order so had to go back again

WOW. Hands down the best Indian in Colchester. My saag was delicious, my partner's Korai was thick and tasty and the onion bhajis were a perfect mix between fried and fresh. Will absolutely eat here again

If I wasn't fasting the early delivery would've been great but otherwise delicious food!

My prawn butter masala was so over spiced, and the king prawns were shrivelled up like balls of rubber. Will not order from here again, especially with how much it cost! Very unhappy customer.

Really disappointed, this is my go to restaurant for Indian in Colchester. Food always great and even near by which is why it was extremely disappointing to have our order arrive stone cold!

I ordered Butter chicken but taste was not authentic

Doh! Stupid me forgot to order my sons main course. So he shared mine, there was plenty for both of us. As always Kismet staff were all on the ball. Delivery was super quick. The main course was piping hot. Next time I will order the other courses. Just hate sharing. Lol x

The food arrived piping hot and was absolutely delicious, their food is just gorgeous. Big portions too, I have leftovers for breakfast!

Great food for a Friday night takeaway King prawn purée along with meat samosa for starters , chicken bhuna & rice for main , lovely . Complementary onion salad along with popadom didn’t go unnoticed eiether, props to the restaurant for the freebie

Fantastic food and would order from them again anytime

I have to say that last nights Indian from Kismet was the best I’ve ever had. Food, timings all excellent. I had three requests on my order ....extra mango....extra heat in the curry....and extra coconut in the nan bread. All requests were filled. Will certainly be back.

Best Indian in the area. The staff are very helpful and the food is unbelievable. Keema naan was perfectly cooked and with a good filling. Onion Bhajis are a good size and perfectly cooked and their curry's (particularly the madras or ceylon) are spot on. If like me, you like prawn, then I reccomend their prawn dishes!

Gave these guys the benefit of the doubt by giving them time to refund me for a delivery that never came but they even failed to do that. They tried to deliver my order at midnight 4 hours after ordering to which I asked for a refund, They confirmed they would do this for me. After waiting a week for the refund and the restaurant ignoring me I contacted Just Eat who said the refund hadn’t been processed and Kismet recorded the delivery as successful. Had to raise directly with Just Eat who investigated and got my money back... avoid Kismet, Thank you Just Eat 👍

Good was over 90 minutes late. I tried to contact the restaurant nearly a hundred times. No reply, not once. Apology on delivery only when prompted. Shouldn't have accepted my order as it couldn't be completed in anything approaching reasonable time. Derisory £3 credit to my account. Probably won't use just eat again either.

Food ordered at 8pm, said arrival would be 9.50pm, time came and went and still no food. Tried calling but had taken phone lines off the hook. Complained through Just Eat, had a text at 10.20 to say sorry for delay and would be with us at 10.35. Time came and went and still no food! Then 12.30am on 1st Jan, a knock at the door with our food!!!! Food was cold and burnt. 4 and a half hours later! Unacceptable and will not be returning.

Lovely food, always is thank you

I know it was New Years Eve but order was late and missing three items. Ruined the meal

Waited waited called several times and food turned up cold

I can't say what time it was delivered because it never was. It wasn't cancelled, I received no phone call, no message on the app. It just wasn't delivered. I've checked outside to see if it was left, but there's not sign. I've tried calling for the last half an hour but cannot get through. The app states it was delivered, but it wasn't. Quite frankly this is a complete con and disgusting.

Didn’t receive my food but paid.

Food never turned up, restaurant took phone off hook...over 3 hours and still no food nothing. Company's like this need to be shut down and removed from just eat. Please avoid them at all costs!! Disgusting
