The best restaurants serving Asian food in East of England

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

Absolute amazing noodles keep up the good work!

This is a really underrated place to eat at. I always go for lunch (never do takeaway) every once in a while. I can vouch for the freshness, quality and portions. I really enjoy trying different meals and I always end up very impressed. Staff is nice and food is prepared on spot so waiting time is reasonable and worth the wait. I recommend this place for lunch. The lunch special deal is affordable and tasty.

Really,.really poor. Firstly, explicitly requested food to arrive at a certain time but it arrived 25 mins early. Chicken tikka unseasoned, naan bread burned. Raita like wallpaper paste. Lack of care and attention to customers and details. Very,very poor. Never ordering from you again. Substandard. Not worth a quarter of what I paid. Should be ashamed of yourselves, I can cook better

Decided to give Blue Orchid a go upon fancying a Thai. This is an expensive takeout so it’s rather a rare occasion we go for this cuisine. Unfortunately we felt it wasn’t the best Thai restaurant compared to the couple we have gone to in Bedford in the past. I felt the red curry I ordered, was rather bland with no creamy taste nor spice to it. It definitely did not taste like an authentic Thai curry. I also felt the meat within the curry wasn’t of good quality, almost like ready meal chicken and hardly much of it to speak of. The vegetables were also extremely hard and inedible so altogether felt like a wasted takeaway for the evening. On the positive side, we found the rice to be quite tasty. That was bursting with flavour! However, I believe the price we paid and what we received in return was not up to the standards we have come to expect with Bedford Thai restaurants.

We just ended up being fleeced for a service charge of 5.50!!! On top of £3 extra side dishes on 13.95 each set menu night. This place used to be 12.95 and got so much more included. Just got home to Diarrhea and sickness. Never again here AVOID. Like so many other restaurants in stevenage old town now they ripping you off.

**THIS VENUE HAS SHUT DOWN PLEASE STOP ORDERING FROM THEM** This place shut a few months ago for renovation and hasn't opened since. However their site appears to still be taking orders in error. The below is my initial review of the place from a while ago; Rated 1 star for Atmosphere only because I have only ever had takeaway from this venue so i couldnt say! The food is always brilliant I have never had a bad meal from there and now won't order curry from anywhere else now. The portions are always generous and they will occasionally add complimentary poppadoms and chutneys with orders. Thoroughly recommended.

Another gorgeous curry from Masoom! - by far my favourite curry house!!

Excellent takeaway service. Delivery also very good. We have used this restaurant many times over the years, food and service has always been excellent.

I must say their service is very friendly. As a Peterborough local they serve the absolute best dinner kebab. Also a hidden gem is there wings!

Had a delightful experience at this venue back in January . . . BUUUUUT . . . This time was appalling! Vague and disinterested service! Rice was dry and crusty which meant we had to wait for the noodles as that's all that anyone wanted to order! No katsu curry sauce to go with the pumpkin patty, and as no other vegetarian options available other than the no beef teriyaki had the noodles drowned in that instead! Box only half filled! Left hungry and disappointed, and judging by the amount of customers returning to the counter I wasn't the only one! Stars given for the first time i went there - hoping some pride, stock and staff who want to be there return before we visit again as it made a nice change to have some real food. Shame.

Absolutely disgusting, stained table cloths, food had no taste and very understaffed 3 out of all of our meals couldn’t be eaten. Do not eat here unless your happy with a korma

First visit here on Saturday night after seeing this restaurant.Not much to look at from outside however the inside is very lovely. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. I had Tandoori chicken and Puri, they were very delicious. Highly recommended.

We dined at Chi as we weren’t from the area, and thought the menu and food sounded great. We have 2 young children, so dining out is a bit of a treat to say the least. Kids menu looked good so we took the plunge. Upon arrival everything was good, we booked for 16:30 on a weds afternoon/evening so we hoped it wasn’t busy! Only 1 other table in, who came after us. We were shown to our table and given menus. About 10 mins later they came and took our drinks order and a couple of mins later drinks arrived. Took the food order, but there was no mention of what to order if we hadn’t been here before, so we just ordered a few dishes from both the small plates and the chef specialties. Think the server was getting a bit confused with the kids menu, clearly don’t have that many children in! But eventually got there. Food came within 15 minutes and was delicious! However, we didn’t recieve a check back during the course of our meal, thankfully everything was good. We asked for the bill, which seemed to take forever, despite there only being us and 1 other table in. The waitress (different person to the person taking our order) hadn’t been there long so was having difficulty with the bill. I then felt rushed to pay, as she just stood there waiting for me look over the bill and pay. Regrettably forgetting about the 12.5% service charge! Think this is a Way of making sure that people don’t check it (hidden at the bottom of the bill) therefore making you pay the extra. Recommended for the food, but not necessarily the service.

We have always used Tandoori Nights when we order an Indian Takeaway and have always been happy with the food. However, we have not had food from there for a while as we are cutting back on takeaways. It was my husbands birthday on Saturday so we thought we would treat ourselves. We were so disappointed with the quality of the food. Maybe they have a new cook? It seemed as if the meat ( not the good quality we remember) had been pre-cooked and then put in whatever sauce it was meant to have. The chicken Tikka was dry and quite tasteless. Even the Peshwari Naan seemed to be missing the raisins and very little coconut. Unfortunately we will think twice about ordering from them again. So sad.
