"The food at this restaurant was fantastic and the service was great, but it was a bit expensive. We paid £24 for 2 curries and a naan bread."

"Very surprised to read some of the reviews from visitors at TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge as we have always had excellent service and the food is some of the best Indian dishes we have had.We were seated inside the TigerBay Shisha Lounge however as this has open sides all round and even an open roof in warmer days or nights, we felt completely safe and COVID protected. The evening was very busy but had a great atmosphere and we didn’t feel cramped or as if we were too near to other customers. The music especially with the appearance of DJ Shraii gives something a little bit extra special than other venues.All members of staff wore face masks and we noticed they politely reminded any customers to use their masks when not seated at their tables.The food is always hot and you can hear the sizzle plates sizzling as the food is served. Portions are really generous and we usually find it hard choosing from all the delicious dishes on offer.The mocktails are especially good and the fruity versions topped with fresh and sweet fruit. We have not tried the Shisha varieties however talking to people we met last week, they said the choices are good and flavours excellent quality. So even without Shisha being available at the moment under Covid rules, TigerBay Shisha Lounge is a great venue.We are looking forward to spending many more summer evenings especially in the garden area which is beautifully filled with gorgeous plants and makes you feel you are on holiday and not just on an evening out.Keep doing what you do so well TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge."

"The food at this restaurant is made fresh to order. The Dal could use a bit more salt, but it was still good when paired with rice. The standout aspect of this place is the excellent service. The host even went above and beyond to create a new mocktail for a colleague who did not like the Virgin Colada. The food may take a bit longer to be served since it is made to order, but it is definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend this restaurant for its exceptional service and fresh, made-to-order food."

"It was really brilliant to be back at this really excellent Indian restaurant. Food is great, perfectly cooked; staff always friendly and welcoming; its like coming home. Good value for money, and makes for an all round fantastic occasion. It's well situated by the London Rd, and is perfect for a meal before or after a visit to the Duke of Yorks Cinema, or just for an occasion in its own right."

"Me and my friends had a great experience at the merchant spice. It was easy to book on open table and this was the first time I'd ever used this service. The food was great, all of us had commented how tasty it was and I was so overwhelmed with choice I told the waiter to surprise me. He asked roughly what I like and his choice was perfect. I can't wait to go back their."

"As it was my birthday me and a friend thought it would be a nice treat to get a takeaway after work. We placed our order over the phone and requested to collect it so that we could receive the 10% off the bill which I saw advertised online. We also asked out of interest if they would offer anything complimentary as it was my birthday. The person on the phone asked what I liked to drink to which I replied Prosecco, he then began to laugh which made me think that that was too much to ask for and he would've expected me to just ask for a beer or glass of wine. It wasn't until we were about to leave the restaurant after paying and collecting our order that the man lifts up a bottle of champagne and gives it to us for free! This was a wonderful surprise that went beyond expectations and made us leave with smiles on our faces. The food was very tasty and filling also and overall it was a great end to my birthday. We will most definitely be back!"

"alishan tandoori is one of the best Indian takeaway in the colchester range. everything I order from an Indian restaurant or takeaway is pilau rice and lamb madras and alishan makes the best in colchester. I've never been disappointed by them. their take-away service is fast and reliable. I recommend alishan tandoori in colchester."

"Me and my girlfriend came here and were pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere and decor were fine the starters were good but the meal really took off when we got to the mains. Garlic chilli and coriander naan was so tasty and portions are great plus excellent value : Staff are also really friendly and accommodating I don’t judge on uniform and decor as it’s food and service that are the most important 5/5"

"I had a great time at Masala Gallery. The Long Island Spiced Tea Cocktail was impressive and the food was excellent. The butter naan was some of the best I've ever had - light and fluffy. The service was good and the staff was friendly. The large TV channels added to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely visit again. The only downside was limited parking spaces."

"fantastic family run indians with delicious food. Last time I visited, we started with some samosas and mixed kebab. the meat on the kebab was perfectly cooked and fell practically from the spits – delicious! for the main I went for chicken korma, while my friend went for lamb jalfrezi – we decided to do the half. for the accompaniment we have rice and a peshwari nan. the chicken corma was nice creamy, although had a amount sauce to huhn ratio. the jalfrezi was also very tasty and had a nice but not too powerful kick, the lamb was very delicate and nan were also delicious. the personal is always very friendly and happy to give them some recommendations if they are not sure what to order. priced it is very reasonable and if they are happy enough to be still student, they do student discounts."

"We were in UK last summer and were visiting Edinburgh. I made a mistake and did not do any research of the area for any Indian Restaurants in case of any exigency. The exigency arrived in a way that, my four year would not want to eat anything but Indian food. Seeing him so edgy and cranky we just dashed into the nearest available place and believe me it was a nightmare. The food was bad and service was worst. The basic courtesy was missing and it seemed that they wanted us to leave as early as possible. The vegetables were ok but Dal Tadka was smelly. The Tandoori Rotis were half burnt and when we asked for replacement what we got was half baked. Somehow we coaxed our little one to have...read more"

"We have used the Balti Express for good Indian take-away food for a long time and often, but during September 2019 we had a terrible meal. We ordered a delivery that took just short of two hours to arrive, and then the food was very bland, flavourless and under spiced. It was horrible. The food has always been good before, but this time it was shockingly bad. After many years of this being our take-away, I think it's time for a change. It was terrible. Very sad."

"We ordered from this place 3/4 times, all good no complains with curries and burgers. We made an order the other day weekday at 10pm) and when they brought the food there was a portion of chips missing, the pizza crust was completely black and burned, and after a slice I found a black hair between the pizza base and the cheese, so i'm sure is NOT mine! We called to get another pizza and our chips, but whoever answered the phone was very rude, saying that they are all bold at the restaurant and it was not possible! And after 10 min arguing he finally agreed to bring a new pizza, but only if we could show to the delivery guy the hair... After all that mean arguing i did not want any food from them, who know they could have spit on my new pizza... Never again!"
