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 😁

I don't leave bad reviews, I am always as fair as I can be and give businesses every opportunity to make things right, but Bombay Butler wasn't interested once they had my money. My Bombay Byriani arrived with no lamb inside and 3 tiny pieces of chicken. It was also cold. I rang them and explained calmly that I didn't receive what I ordered. They said, no worries, come in and we'll sort it out. I explained I was at the airport with no means to get to them. They said, well there is nothing we can do and hung up. Here's a little tip. You could have delivered me a lamb skewer. I was 2 miles away. It would have cost your business £10 to put right. You already had £17 of my money. If you want a successful business, it is moments like that which make the difference. Karma is real. You might also want to improve the quality of your mango chutney, it looked the colour of something that came out of Chernobyl. However, I doubt you will do that because the boss is obviously more interested in short term bean-counting than long term profitability. Good luck Bombay Butler, with that guy at the helm you are gonna need it

I stopped here as I was on a long journey with my four daughters and we popped in for just a quick break and they welcomed us in and were so kind to all of us. We didn't stop for food, but their kindness and the way they treated us, showed how much they cared about the customer. The food looked delicious and was a very cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks so much again!

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

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.

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.

This restarraunt is absolutely terrible they keep the lights full on bright there's no music the staff are beyond rude to everyone they just don't know how to welcome.anyone. The food was shambolic ,tasteless cold rubbish ,not nice at all horrible mango chutney no mangoes in it just orange floppy slop ,the chicken in the tikka masala was processed chunks not real chicken my partner's chicken korma was yellow and bland the poppadoms were shop bought not made or hot . All of the staff were just absolutely awful a lot of people commented on bad atmosphere no one seemed to be enjoying their food and no one asked us if our dinner was ok I would never return it was an awful experience.

Excellent food , excellent service.would highly recommend

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!!!!

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

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
