Tandoori Nights - Brentwood

Fantastic food and service! Our favourite Indian restaurant always an enjoyable evening! Great place to meet up with family and friends.

We went here for a family dinner as this used to be hands down the best Indian restaurant in Shenfield. On arrival the place was empty but we were greeted with disdain by a very surly member of staff and told to sit in the waiting area, it was as if we were a burden and they couldn't be bothered to have our custom. Our meal was average but the prawns were minuscule, onion bhaji rock hard and hardly any meat in the chicken tikka masala. I'm not sure if the restaurant has changed hands but I have been going here for 25 years and the food is sadly nothing like it used to be. It's a shame as the ambience used to be lovely but it was a horrid experience. We also witnessed on the table next to us the waiter spilled a whole glass of wine over a poor lady's jeans and the managers response was shocking, he actually told the husband to shut up and go away when he complained

I went with my wife and 3 children. The food was lovely but the restaurant was full of mosquitos and the experience spoilt by the very rude owner at the end of the meal. A waiter spilt a full glass of wine over my wifes trousers when clearing the table the owner at first refused to take any discount off the bill. When I complained he said abruptly that it was a mistake and begrudgingly took off £4.90 which I found insulting. When I told him that wasn’t good enough he shouted “what makes you happy, another £5 off ? and I don’t want you to come back”

What did we eat? I'm really curious because all four of our party ordered lamb dishes so you'd expect to be served lamb, right? In truth I can't really say. We received tough lumps of death in bland, brown matter. That was the second and last time we'll go here. Bad food. Bad service. Avoid.

This used to a great Indian restaurant to visit. The ambience remains of a high standard. The experience of the evening is let down by poor service and tasteless tough meat. With so many other options to explore in Brentwood and Shenfield, I will not be returning.
