The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

Visited this restaurant with my Sister and enjoyed a lovely meal. Service and food excellent. Only gripe was the Music was too loud . And genre was not appropriate. Some background Indian music would have been nice. Couldn't have a conversation as just too loud although waiter did turn it down when we asked. Otherwise a great restaurant. Will visit again.

5 Stars - An Unforgettable Experience! Indian Chef offers an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The authenticity of the dishes shines through every bite - rich, vibrant flavours that instantly transport you across South Asia. Each dish is crafted with such care and respect for tradition, making the meal feel genuinely special. The service is equally impressive. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, adding a personal touch to the entire experience. They make you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and beautifully immersive, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the incredible food. Every visit feels like a celebration of culture and flavor. I can’t recommend Indian Chef highly enough — truly a five-star gem!

VERY SLOW service ... we opted for the set menu as there were 8 of us. Had to ask for a drink, instead of the waiter coming round to take our drinks order. Orders were possibly taken down wrong, received a Prawn Puri instead of Pani Puri, Chappati instead of a Paratha. Food was bland, even though requested to have it Spicier - received a dish of chopped Green chillies. Will not be going back.

This place is amazing, the food was delicious and so tasty, probably the best Indian in Chelmsford!

Great food and service, highly recommend.

Delicious food from an expansive menu. Two enjoyed their lamb signature dish (sizzling lamb in onions and black pepper), but all meals were very tasty. Accompanying sides were all good too, We were well looked after by the family and would definitely go again if nearby. Small restaurant which filled as the evening went on, Handy for station (and therefore taxis!).

Another perfect Chicken Ceylon & Chicken Biryani with Garlice rice.

Very nice dishes, plus friendly and attentive service

First time visit 26th May 2025 - very happy we did. Great service, welcoming and quick to seat and serve us a drink. Although busy, food arrived quickly and was very tasty, staff are attentive and friendly. Will 100% visit again - Thank you to all staff

Absolutely spot on. Couldn't fault the greeting, order taking, freshly cooked food which was excellent, friendliness of the staff, service and value for money. There is nothing not to like about the Balti Bhujon of Maldon.

Love methi! The food is always spot on and full of flavour!! Staff are so welcoming and go above and beyond to exceed expectations!! Definitely the best Indian in St Neots!! 10/10

Never disappointed with the food here. Always fresh and cooked perfectly, love the fresh side salads and onions that come with the Tikka / Sheek kebab starters. Great range of mains and veg side dishes, particularly like the saag aloo and Brinjal Bhaji. Was worried when they moved premises a few years ago, but the food is still excellent. Always collect but did get delivery a few years back during covid times, the food always arrived piping hot.

The best Indian takeaway locally. Authentic food full of taste.

Got myself some chips, peas and gravy with mint sauce on the peas. Really enjoyed them and was very filling good value as well.

Great naan but roti dry lamb curry looked like a puréed sauce and meat wasn’t tender . I can’t recommend but peshwari naan was amazing
