The best restaurants serving Indian food in East of England

Pleasantly surprised. Tucked away on road I often pass, so tried it. Not disappointed. Food so good , they were so nice people

I wish I could give this restaurant no stars DO NOT GO THERE AT ALL. Everything about this restaurant was bad the food service atmosphere. We decided to order 2 starters and because the food was so bad we decided to leave and go somewhere else however when we tried paying the bill they were rude and screaming at us because we didn’t order more food. They refused to give us the bill and when we tried paying the guy made up a number for us to pay. We got screamed at by them the food was disgusting so I would suggest you do not go there and go where you can get your moneys worth because this place is not it. Furthermore the whole time we were there they made us feel very uncomfortable by looking at us weirdly and secondly by forcing us to order food we are customers so it’s our choice what we want to eat. This place needs to be shut down!!!!!!!!

So we have lived withon earshot of this restaurant that actually I used to cycle past weekly for 25years but never gone in! We needed a quick bite locally and decided to try as friends use for takeaways. Popodums were lovely, jalfreze great, chicken superb for other meals as was naan bread and the rices we each had. Couldn't fault anything. The best part £54 bill for 3 and we were all stuffed. Definately be back......

Always fantastic food ! Cannot recommend enough !

Fantastic service, very friendly and the food was banging I would definitely go for a meal again

Best Indian restaurant around. Very friendly staff, great service and delicious food.

Amazing food. Highly recommended.

Extremely good value. Friendly staff and great food.

The best Indian food in Halstead. Chicken Tikka Makhani (butter chicken) and Kuka Co Co Paka (Napalese) are amazing. We usually get takeaway, however do go there on the odd occasion. The restaurant does struggle with service during busy times, as it did last night, which is unfortunate. We were there two hours and would have preferred to have been there half that.

Very quick service, really friendly staff, very yummy food!! :)

A Wonderful Experience at Indian Ocean Restaurant! Visited the Indian Ocean Restaurant on Wednesday to experience their Tasting Menu, and it was absolutely delightful! The seven-course journey was simply amazing, with each dish offering a burst of flavors and a great balance of taste. The hospitality truly stood out—the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Their warm and welcoming attitude added a special touch to the whole experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience! I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Great food. Fab service as always :)

IMO Dildar is the best Indian restaurant in North Luton. I've been a customer for 20 years and have tried others but none match their service or taste, regardless of the dish ordered.

Visited The Shapla on a bit of a whim with a group of friends. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere surrounding. My friend got verbally assaulted by a member of staff (jokingly) and this entertaining, tailored customer service means I will be highly likely to return in the future. A restaurant isn't just about providing good food, it's about being able to understand the customer and tailoring your service approach. You can play it safe, or you can have a laugh and a joke - which is exactly what we received. I'll try to return without my friend and weird menu requests next time. I'll also try not to touch the hot table things too. So much fun.

Highly recommend, cant fault, Thank you as always
