The best restaurants serving Asian food in Southend-on-Sea East of England

Food was delicious and staff are super friendly. The restaurant is clean and cosy. I love this place! I highly recommend it!

Food very nice and staff friendly and funny.Atmosphere was quiet when I was there but a band on later which would have been better for me but had to leave urgently

Gorgeous venue, attending for a private hire, wedding do. The staff were fantastic, food was delicious and the venue is really cosy, with a great atmosphere.

Had massoman curry and jasmine rice. Absolutely fab!

We went for lunch which was our first visit - we were not disappointed Overall the food was excellent with good portion sizes. The curries were delicious but spicy which is what we prefer - well worth a trip to a restaurant serving authentic South Indian food

not very spicey, dhansak should be lentils and spice, but good quality food, not sure if I would order again

Good place. Service is too good.

Fantastic takeaway, delivered so fast, arrived as hot as if we’d just taken it out of the oven and all absolutely delicious. A perfect experience.

I've been visiting Shabash's for years, and it’s always a delightful experience. The fine dining atmosphere is complemented by the warm welcome from the staff—unless you happen to arrive at closing time, of course! I was recommended the Dansak with garlic bread, and I have to say, it was one of the best curries I've had in a long time. I went with a few friends, and we all enjoyed our meals but the drinks didn’t quite hit the mark, the owner graciously took them off our bill, which was a nice touch. The bald waiter is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about allergies, so you can order with confidence. There used to be a tall waiter, but I haven't seen him in a while. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant; it's a fantastic value for the money, and the experience is top-notch!

Absolutely appalled by the experience we had on Sat night. Booked a table for 11 people (family came down from Ipswich, a yearly catch up). It was booked a couple of months ago and confirmed on the day. Was never told there were a few sittings. Our meal came fairly quickly and all was good up to that point. As soon as our meal was finished so our bill came which we never asked for as we were still drinking. They never even asked if we wanted a dessert or further drinks. We sat for a short while but was asked to leave as they needed the table. We were fuming as it had only been just over an hour since we got there. A long way to come for an hour. Needless to say we will not be going there again. So please when booking there make sure they tell how long you have.

Found hair(long and short) in our food and a piece of metal probably from a metal scourer they use for washing up.. Even they didn't say sorry.. very disappointed, never order from here again

Takeaway only, but the food cannot be beaten. Very good quality and value for money.

The menu looked exciting. I was so disappointed with the food. It was very low quality, greasy and not wanted I had expected. Will not use this place again. Don't be fooled by the interesting sounding menu
