The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

Biriyani Boy in Chelmsford offers a fresh take on Indian dining, blending traditional flavors with creative fusion influences from across Asia. The friendly, welcoming staff created a warm atmosphere, making for a pleasant experience for my friends and me. Standout dishes included the Butter Chicken, perfectly rich and flavorful, and the Tandoori Lamb Chops, which were really tender. The menu’s innovative combinations reflected a thoughtful mix of Indian and broader Asian influences, delivering a unique dining experience. A great spot for anyone seeking quality cuisine with an interesting twist!

Our go to restaurant in Ongar. Always have a great meal every time. Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Very highly recommend!

I have only had a couple of takeaways, but when I collect the restaurant always have a very nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly. From a food perspective for me the portions are not very generous, and there is not as much meat in the portion as other local Indian restaurants. So if they sorted that I would maybe buy from there more.

First time at this since it came under new ownership and the food overall was very good, plenty of choice including the traditional curries ,rice and Naan..etc but I would recommend the South Indian specialties including the Dosa's, well worth a try. Nice casual family vibe and quite popular

Having just moved to Shotley we tried this amazing Fish & Chip / Indian Takeaway for the first time after our long journey up from Somerset. We rang to place our Order and was told it would take 30 minutes as everything is cooked fresh. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner who was very friendly. He clearly loves what he does and has a fantastic business. The Indian food we received was absolutely amazing. The flavours were some of the best we have ever had and the chicken in our different dishes was the most tender and succulent we have ever eaten. We can’t wait to try some more dishes as well as the Fish & Chips. A highly recommended place to get authentic Indian cuisine.

Very friendly, helpful staff, good service and tasty curry! Quick service. Please support this business

Went and bought snacks and sweets for Diwali. Everything was fresh and tasty and the service was outstanding. Would come again.

Three of us had this week's non veggie meal and were happy with just about everything. The delivery was spot on, the food was hot - obviously freshly prepared - and the meal was good and tasty. We are big eaters so could have done with slightly larger portions but next time we will add some extras. I found it tricky to order for 3 - perhaps the method could be made more transparent. I look forward to trying this service again in the not too distant future. They deserve success.

I ordered the meal for one, online. Decided to collect. Delicious food and lots of it! Definately recommended.

Absolutely amazing quality as always. The food always arrives hot and tastes incredible. Such good value for money and the staff are always amazing and they listen too so the order is never wrong. Thank you.

Ususally have takeaways from local restaurants. My neighbour recommended the Akash. The food was excellent well cooked abnd on time when I went to collect it. Will definately be usuing the Akash in the future.

A variety of dishes ordered.Arrived on time hot(temperature). Enough food for today and tomorrow!Enjoyed every dish. Staff polite and courteous. Thanks to all the staff and especially the chefs. See you soon.

First time here and had a great time. They have free parking but make sure you register your car Once you are inside. Staff were great and the atmosphere was brilliant. Also had dinner here and the food was brilliant. Had a grilled chicken burger with skinny fries and we also ordered 24 wings. I loved the wings and would definitely recommend it. Personally I don’t gamble but was enjoyable watching my friends and others win and lose money. Would definitely recommend this place.
