"Had a 90th celebration meal at Indian Essence early this month. From the moment we entered having drinks and nibbles an hour earlier than usual possible on a very rainy Saturday afternoon, the excellence, professionalism and warmth of service was clear to see. As much as the excellent service, my Dad was treated like a King and the portion sizes matched the magnanimous nature of the staff. Rabbit was a surprising revelation as one starter, chicken cooked several ways different to many other Indian restaurants starter selections offered was very good. The choice of mains were varied and sauces they were cooked in a sign of a top notch restaurant at the top of their game. By the time we reached desserts (washed down by more than one bottle of Chablis), the restaurant was filling up fast and buzzing for a normal October evening. After a pandemic and associated lack of celebrations for all, this was a choice I was more than happy to have made for such a special occasion. We will definitely be back and would recommend it to others for anything from normal meals to large celebrations. 5 star occasion...well deserved."

We had a fantastic evening at this restaurant. The cocktails were delicious, the staff was attentive, and the food was fabulous. Though it may be on the pricier side, it is definitely worth it for a special occasion. View menu

Had a wonderful meal with my other half on Sat. Tried a few cocktails from their new menu, staff were very attentive. Dessert is always the highlight for me, had gratted carrot pudding with pistachio ice cream and it was divine. Thank you Indian Essence

It was quite a long drive for us to go there, but it was worth it. The staff were super nice and made sure that everything was just right. We went at lunch time and had the set 3 course menu with prosseco which was absolutely amazing. The down side is that other Indian restaurants that we always thought were good have now gone down a notch. However this is a restaurant owned by a Michellin star chef (Atul Kochhar} and it shows. We went away very happy.
