The best restaurants serving Indian food in Uttlesford East of England

I don’t normally write any reviews but I really want to praise this restaurant for the excellent service, food experience! Our food was delicious not greasy at all which is how I normally feel after a curry!

Really lovely meal at the Balti Spice! Staying at Stansted before flying so booked a meal here; the food was great (best naan bread I’ve ever had!) and the service was excellent! Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a good quality Indian meal!

Had a gluten free base pizza which was deliciously made and staff really friendly and overall great food. Highly recommend 😁

We use India Villa regularly for the Sunday Buffet and also for take away. We love the food and really enjoy going there. Last Sunday 23rd February however we had booked a table for 6 - then increased the booking to 8 guests. our table was booked for 1pm and we arrived on the dot! the restaurant was totally empty apart from us. We were shown to our seats by a new member of staff who was rather annoying with his rush rush approach and his 'London Boy' accent. We had only been seated for 5 minutes when he came and told us to go get our buffet as he is closing at 2pm? I said the Sunday Buffett usually runs through to 3pm? his answer: "not today it don't!" We hadn't even received our first drink! all through the meal he was hovering and making silly comments (trying to be funny - which he wasn't). We had no time to order a dessert or coffee because at 1.45 he was at the table AGAIN beginning to clear our plates - some of us were still eating. He totally spoiled the family get together we were all looking forward to, and if on my next visit to India Villa I spot him waiting on tables we will immediately leave. What a shame - its usually so lovely.

We all had a chicken dish all the chicken what ever the dish was extremely dry it wasn’t pleasant at all

We highly recommend Raj. The food is delicious. It always arrives piping hot. The delivery driver is friendly and always smiling.

Incredibly fast service, very friendly staff. Lamb xacuti was fantastically tender

Waited two hours for delivery, after several attempts to ring to find out where our order is i finally got through. I was told it was on the pass. 20 min later and still no sign of my order. We will not be bothering to order from here again.

Fantastic ! Sami was brilliant ! And the food … wow ! We even got a tia Maria on the house !

We had the tandoori mix grill it was lovely great service as well would definitely recommended

Arrived for family Anniversary at 7pm. Ordered drinks first and then food. At 9.00 there was no sign of food so complained. About half an hour later the starters arrived and they were lukewarm. My prawn butterfly was partly cooked. At 9.40p there was no sign of main course so we left paying only for the drinks. This restaurant seems to be understaffed in the kitchen area and priority seems to be for the takeaway side of the business. The table of eight next to us arrived a few minutes after us and had the same lack of service so they also refused to pay, We did hear other tables complaining. There was no communication from then regarding the delay in food and waiters ignored our attempts to attract their attention

Service was at their leisure the food was nothing to shout about the only thing going for it was that the food reasonably priced but not the drinks!!!!

Good option getting off the train at 10.30 to pick up supplies for a late supper. A good house biryani.

Ordered a takeaway and I ordered lamb rogan - it was so tender and delicious things have improved no end - will definitely order again

Place was empty I was new to area went in ordered 2 fish and chips They had screens up (covid screens) so went to pay with card rude lady just said “ain’t you got cash” Chips were under cooked and still hard but fish ok Won’t go back again
