“ Traditional style local Indian restaurant where the service is exceptional. The menu is not extensive but they offer some slightly different different dishes. Their biryani’s are superb and I highly recommend their butter chicken. ”
“ Its been long time we are living in this area and generally we use to pass this hidden gem saying that it may not be the good option for us and we use to travel to central london to enjoy the meal .But today we took a risk and enter into the resturant and we were surprised to know that our assumption was absolutely wrong and we were happy to be wrong here . We love each and every dish that we ordered . We love set meal menue(meat or prawan) where we ordered chicken wings as starter , lamb karahi and pulau rice as main course and final touch was by tea. Apart from set meal we ordered one king prawan( north indian) curry which was also so tasty. Thank you so much for the hospitality and food .. Strongly recommend ... ”
“ I had the most wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at this Indian restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The owners were incredibly kind and made the evening even more special by giving me and my friend a beautiful rose—such a thoughtful touch! The food was absolutely delicious! The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, and the garlic naan was fresh and fluffy. Every dish was cooked to perfection and full of authentic Indian flavors. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. Despite it being a busy evening, everything was served promptly, and we felt so well taken care of. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The owners' kindness and the amazing food made our Valentine’s Day truly special. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Indian cuisine and exceptional hospitality! Can’t wait to come back ”
“ Such a wonderful first visit to The India Grill this evening. Staying in Loughton for a few days I was dining alone but have seen the place packed at the weekend - so it must be good! You'd hope so - the family have run the business from these premises since 1970 and it's currently listed as the No2 best Indian Restaurant in the whole of Essex. I ventured inside on a snowy, cold and miserable December Monday and I'm so pleased I did. The Owner, Mo and his family gave me a lovely warm-welcome. My order; Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, Keema Rice, Onion Bhaji. All came, promptly, piping hot, fresh and with beautiful levels of flavour and spicing. Perfect portion size (a decent sized meal)...not too much, not too little. Excellent value. Will be back again, next time with my wife! ”
“ Visited this evening for the first time. Lovely authentic food. Excellent friendly service. You could taste all the flavours and freshness of all the ingredients. Will be recommending to my friends and family, and definitely visiting again. Its not local to us (About 7-8 miles) but definitely worth the trip. We had Tikka , Korma and Butter Chicken, with the best naan breads ive ever tried. The mince samosas we had as a starter were also crisp and lovely and not greasy or overpowering at all. Gem of a place! ”
“ right on the money; very, very tasty genuine Indian cuisine... 10/10 service... what more can you ask!!! ”
