The best restaurants serving Indian food in Southchurch Southend-on-Sea East of England

Never been to Southend before, which I found a strange and soulless town. Paradoxically, It's big but there is very little here apart from national retail and restaurant chains. Very few real ale pubs, Chinese and Indian restaurants, or gift shops. Moan over. On my first night went to Mawson's micro pub, so Ruchi's, which is on the other side of the road, was the obvious dining option. Had my usual Chicken vindaloo, fried rice, poppadom (no sauces), lager: bill £17. It was very nice, quite good value considering the Cobra bottle was huge, at least a pint, and at £5 was the most expensive item.

Second time coming here, and the restaurant lived up to our expectations! The food was fabulous and service very good
