The best restaurants in Loughton Forest Epping Forest East of England

The India Grill delivered an exceptional dining experience! The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly The India Grill Special—it came out sizzling, full of flavour, and left us completely impressed. The Maharaja curry was another standout, offering a rich and unique taste unlike anything we've ever tried before. It had the perfect balance of spices... And the naan? Large, fluffy, and absolutely delicious—perfect for soaking up every bit of the amazing sauces. If you're looking for authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine, The India Grill is a must-visit

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening here! The staff were very welcoming and had good recommendations. The food was delicious, meat cooked perfectly, tasty and tender. The staff even bought out a birthday dessert without us asking as they had just noticed the presents on the table! Such a lovely thought.

Celebrated a 50th birthday and we couldn’t haven’t been looked after any better by Sarah. We were a group of 13 and she kept us all fed and watered, and the restaurant provided a nice cake at the end. Cocktails were lovely, Tapas was very good, I especially enjoyed the meatballs and ham croquettes but others had their own favourites. A memorable night!

Fantastic staff , amazing atmosphere and locals make you feel very welcome Highly recommend

Friday night arrived at 9. Only one other couple there so should have guessed. Instead of rushing us through ordering, eating and paying they should have said they wanted us out of the door before 10. I had to pay as food was delivered to table and whilst eating a waitress asked if we wanted our food boxed up to take home!!!!! It would have been more acceptable if they weren’t so rude about it all… we were better off getting a take away rather that spending £80 to get rushed through in 45 mins

Nice food reason price they seem very touchy on how you pay enough they don't like debit card want to charge you more when paying by card

The food was nice. Only disappointment there was no mint sauce with the roast lamb.

Had a mixed Shish the chicken was dry and lamb was just lumps of fat. Very expensive for what you get. Although the staff were very good. This was a very large family event and all 8 tables were charged extortionate service fee and it total that came to £280 an absolute joke when we only had 2 servers. It took them over an hour for us to all pay as there was items on the bills that we didn’t get and unfortunately we decided just to pay and get out. But most certainly will not be returning.

First time I dined here , I would have given 5stars for food . Second time it was it was good . This is third & last. Cold food , overcooked food . Service non existent . How hard can it be to cook & prepare a traditional roast dinner. Burnt hard potatoes This was poor , poor , poor.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch. Very reasonably priced, obviously high quality ingredients. Great dessert menu too. Highly recommended

Unbelievable food fresh and hot too excited to order again

Waited over an hour when delivery time was 30 mins and only sent half our order.

bad service, with a lot of arrogance
