The best restaurants serving Asian food in Tendring East of England

We decided to order a takeaway to help celebrate a couple of things that had happened recently. Booked the delivery for the early evening, and had no difficulty placing the order. However, the delivery time came and went, with no delivery. British India had my phone number so could have contacted to say it was running late (but didn't). I gave them a quarter of an hour and rang to check on how it was doing. The lady I spoke to was quite brusque and offered no apology for it being late-just that it was "leaving now". To be fair, it was with us within a few minutes (we're about 5 minutes drive away). Unfortunately, the "award winning bhajis" (of which were only 3 and really quite small) were cold and hanging in grease. Practically inedible, tbh. The meat in one of the curries was tough, and the naan bread was also barely warm when I took it out of the bag. Given the award winning status of the restaurant, I found the food to be not worth the money, particularly in view of how expensive it all was. Unfortunately, I don't think we will go back.

Had a takeaway this evening and it was awful. We have had food from this restaurant before and it was always nice so decided to have a treat for my 73rd birthday. I had a king prawn butterfly and it was totally tasteless and stale, followed by lamb passanda and god knows what happened there , lamb no flavour and not as tender as it used to be and the passanda sauce horrid. Not to mention the saag paneer which looked like a green mess. I’ve never had an Indian meal this bad before. I am so disappointed as the food from here was always great until now. Hubby had Raj special Biryani and the veg curry that came with it was a pot of oil and no taste to the main Biryani

done in about 3 mins , ignore negative reviews, give local business a chance , love my honeydew :) :)
