Café Masala Indian Restaurant review, Thorpe Bay, Essex

Cafe Masala Jalfrezi danasak naan and aloo gobi

This restaurant claims to be the ‘leading Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant in Essex’ and I have to agree that it is good. Since I have not been to every restaurant in Essex, I cannot say for sure, but it is our favourite right now (although we do change our [...]

Keralam South Indian restaurant review, Southend on Sea

Keralam fish curry and prawns southend essex

This restaurant has been in Southend on Sea for years, yet I had never tried it before. On first impressions, the restaurant looked modern and comfortable, but it was not furnished, decorated or tidy to a high standard, but acceptable. The toilet was cold and left a bit [...]

Village Indya Indian Restaurant review, Hadleigh, Benfleet, Essex

This restaurant has taken over the premises of the Viceroy, which I enjoyed many times. I have now been to this new restaurant and I was quite disappointed that they took the glass embossed dividers away, as it makes the area more open and square without the booth effect. However, the service was very nice; [...]

Maharaja Indian Restaurant review, Benfleet, Essex

Maharaja chicken chat benfleet

I have been going to this restaurant on and off for the last 16 years or so, and it is always consistent in its food and service. They offer a good choice of dishes, and even have some fish and lower fat dishes, so there is something for everyone. Unlike some [...]

Rajpoot Indian Restaurant, Tarpots, Benfleet, Essex

Railway lamb at Rajpoot Indian

I have been here twice now. The first time: The food was really nice, but too salty and that was the only issue really. It is a nice venue with different ambience and surroundings depending on where you sit. A far more Indian menu than most with the traditional ‘Indian’ [...]

Shagor Indian Restaurant review, Westcliff on Sea, Essex

King Prawns at the Shagor

I have only visited this restaurant the once and it was nice without being outstanding. The king prawns were juicy in our curry, and everything fresh and tasty.

It was quite busy when we went, with a mix of customers, and it seemed to be doing quite well for the area. [...]

The Indian Summer restaurant, Westcliff, Essex

Indian Summer dansak and Peshwari Naan

Well, back in February I was saying that the Viceroy in Hadleigh, Essex, was my favourite Indian restaurant, but the Viceroy has now become my 2nd favourite, as the ‘Indian Summer’ appeared along the A13 in Westcliff-on-Sea.  I can now say that the ‘Indian summer’ is the best restaurant [...]

Abakash Indian restaurant review, Benfleet, Essex

I have only been here once. It is situated in the High Road, Benfleet and we had a nice meal. It is small, cosy and comfortable, and the food was good. We had a chicken tikka dansak, vegetable curry, garlic naan and a king prawn curry. Not too oily, and just right, without being outstanding. [...]

Ruchi Indian Restaurant, Southend on Sea, Essex

Ruchi Indian Restaurant, Chicken tikka dansak and accompaniments

The Ruchi Indian restaurant was one of my favourites in Southend on Sea, and I stopped going as I had one disappointing meal. However, we went back in February 2009 and it was as lovely as it ever was. The staff are very nice and the food [...]
