The best restaurants serving Indian food in Castle Colchester East of England

Based on the recommendation of my nephew who lives in town, I tried this place. Without doubt, it is the best curry I have had in a long time. My partner is not really a fan of Indian food, and although I have dragged her to Indian restaurants in Bratislava, Kraków, Paris, Valletta, London and even Casablanca, she has never enthused about her meal. Bees converted her! For the first time she fully ENJOYED a curry. I don't live in England, but will be back to Bees - absolute quality!

⭐ 1 Star Extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Maharani. I placed a takeaway order (as I regularly do) and waited over an hour and a half before calling to check on it. I was told they attempted delivery but got no answer—this is completely untrue, as I was sitting in the living room by the door the entire time with the TV off. No one came. They then tried to claim I had entered the wrong phone number, which I know was correct. When I called to clarify, the woman on the phone was incredibly rude, hostile, and hung up on me. After calling back, I was promised a refund, but it was never issued. I’ve now had to dispute the payment through my bank. Avoid this place unless you want to risk being scammed. Terrible customer service and zero accountability.

Food very good and tasty. Always enjoy it.

Good food, great value, solid menu and cracking service. Always busy!

Last night we had a dinner at the curry leaves restaurant it was one of the best the best Indian food I have ever had. I har a goan fish curry and my partner had a chicken tikka masala it was perfect. The service was great by naveen and malling. Totally recommend this restaurant. Great vibes.

Food was fantastic although the chicken not as good as other curry houses nearby. The flavouring was great, just the texture of the chicken felt a bit off. Had saag paneer and aloo gobi as sides which were super tasty.

The food quality and service are top calss……. Highly recommend best take away
