The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

We had the most amazing time at Periwala yesterday evening. We were celebrating my son’s birthday and the staff were so accommodating with the cake I had and they gifted my son a box of chocolates which he loved, it was so kind. The staff were amazing, the food was delicious and I cannot fault it! This was our second time visiting Periwala and we look forward to many more!

only criticism was the naan bread it was flat and rock hard

I was randomly looking for somewhere to buy dinner from when I moved to the area 4 weeks ago and discovered this beautiful place with delicious food. I have been a fan since then and recommend that everyone that come to Benfleet.

I recently ordered a takeaway from Saffron, and had an unforgettable experience. I ordered the Sylheti Lamb Korai, and it was absolutely amazing. The lamb was cooked to perfection ,tender and packed with flavour - every bite was a delight. I also tried the chicken tikka, which was incredibly soft and cooked just right. It had the perfect balance of spice, not too mild but with enough to make it exciting. The overall experience was fantastic - from the quality of food to the delivery service. I highly recommend Saffron to anyone looking for authentic flavourful Indian dishes. I can't wait to return! 👍

Food tasted really fresh and arrived hot.

I was visiting friends in Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago and had a craving for Indian food. After some searching, I decided to order the Tikka Masala from here. From my experience, Tikka Masala is meant to be slightly spicy with a rich, flavorful sauce. However, what I received was incredibly disappointing. The dish was overly sweet—so much so that it tasted like they had dumped in a huge amount of sugar and skipped everything else. It was nothing like an authentic Tikka Masala and, unfortunately, completely inedible. I had to throw it away. Still on the hunt for a good Indian restaurant in Chelmsford, but sadly, this wasn’t it

amazing food & service. Highly recommend

One of the best Indian takeaways we have had for a long time

Utterly fantastic, could not fault. A lovely experience and lovely food. The Staff are extremely welcoming the service is impeccable.

Just tried their 15” apna style pizza, tasted delicious flavour was mouth watering and delivered real quick. Defo ordering from here now on

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was exquisite, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was both elegant and inviting. Perfect for a memorable night out.

Tasty food, but what let it down was that it was all delivered cold.

My first time using Jonaki this evening, the food was out of this world (tikka masala, madras, onion bhajis, rice and naan) friendly and helpful staff over the phone. Even better when inside, the gentleman behind the counter was talking to the regular patrons and remembered something about all of them. Was a nice personal touch, can’t wait to use again

hot and tasty good portion sizes as well

Had a kashmere aloo lunch combination there.. absolutely huge portions, could have easily split it between two people and I have a big appetite! The salty lassi and lollipop chicken was also good. The only slight criticism was it was quite oily.. but overall I definitely would return
