The best restaurants serving Indian food in Southend-on-Sea East of England

My first time using Jonaki this evening, the food was out of this world (tikka masala, madras, onion bhajis, rice and naan) friendly and helpful staff over the phone. Even better when inside, the gentleman behind the counter was talking to the regular patrons and remembered something about all of them. Was a nice personal touch, can’t wait to use again

Delicious. A little oily but still incredible.

Lovely service friendly food Lovely

🥰What an amazing dish we had yesterday. You need to give 48hrs notice but delicious leg of lamb in authentic spices was fantastic, it also came with flavoursome spiced roast potatoes, garlic mushrooms, vegetable curry, rice, nan bread, Chana masala, lamb mince, & salad plenty for 4 people! 👍🏻

First time ordering here tonight, initially hadn’t received the order so told us to wait for another 15 minutes however gave us both a can of drink for free and then gave us extra food (deeply packed dishes, nice and hot food)

this is the second time my order is wrong

Once again a great takeaway from the Indiana. Ordered directly no delivery and no service charge plus 10% discount Could not be better for quality and price The reshmi kebabs are to die for. All food hot and promptly delivered. Highly recommended

Sometimes veggie curries can get overlooked and are served up as an afterthought. Not in Saffron Lounge my friend! The best vegetarian dhansak going. Everything else I've tried has been fresh and tasty too. Nice friendly people, go and support them 👏

Banging grub as always delivery to westcliff joe your food and service on target every time youve tried the rest people now try best poppy and family

Excellent meal this evening. Good service, food lovely, enjoyed Nawabi Chicken Dhandak. Excellent chapati too. Ample.

always fresh and tasty food and the only Indian restaurant I eat from .

Went for the first time the other day. Food was ok, not the best Indian I’ve ever had but not the worst. Probably wouldn’t rush back, not because anything was terrible but more just that there are better places out there.

Never been to Southend before, which I found a strange and soulless town. Paradoxically, It's big but there is very little here apart from national retail and restaurant chains. Very few real ale pubs, Chinese and Indian restaurants, or gift shops. Moan over. On my first night went to Mawson's micro pub, so Ruchi's, which is on the other side of the road, was the obvious dining option. Had my usual Chicken vindaloo, fried rice, poppadom (no sauces), lager: bill £17. It was very nice, quite good value considering the Cobra bottle was huge, at least a pint, and at £5 was the most expensive item.

Second time coming here, and the restaurant lived up to our expectations! The food was fabulous and service very good

Food was fresh and curries were tasty, meat was soft.
