Chilli Green - Southend-on-Sea

We ordered a takeaway on Sunday 17th October. Once ordered and paid for, we were then told by email that it would be 9.30pm when it was to be delivered. This was unacceptable and too late for our three children to eat, and so I rang the restaurant to cancel the order and get a refund. However the restaurant was engaged and both numbers and impossible to contact on either number. I spoke in the chat on the website and they said that they weren't able to cancel the order, we'd need to ring the restaurant, which I did do every few minutes, all to no avail. i emaild the restaurant to cancel Unbelievably, the food did not arrive until 10.30pm, three hours after I ordered

Ordered at 6.05pm, thankfully paying by card didn't work so was paying cash, at 9.10pm still not here. Phone permanently engaged and website now says closed. Thought we would try this place due to the award but think we will stick with what we know. Very disappointing.

After reading the awards that this place had won I thought I'd give it a go seeing as we live close-by. Big mistake, I ordered a sost aluoo which had a sliced potato, slice of tomato (seriously) and a couple of chewy bits of lamb in a sauce which was absolutely tasteless. The onion bajis were burnt, cold and against tasteless and the chips something I wouldn't dish up to a dog. This was by far the worst curry I've ever had the misfortune to eat and I suggest you think hard before ordering from this place.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so this time. My wife and I decided to try this restaurant for the first time and we were not disappointed. We both ordered the chicken tikka with rice and shared some extras. The chicken tikka was plentiful and tender, and we were happy to see that we could also order onion rice, which not all places offer. The portion sizes of the onion bhaji were smaller than what we usually receive from our usual spot, but we actually preferred the smaller pieces. The naan bread was cooked perfectly, and the mushroom bhaji and bombay potatoes met our expectations. Our order arrived promptly, just five minutes after the estimated delivery time, and the delivery person was friendly and cheerful, even on a cold night. We will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again in the future.

I ordered a chicken dansak and chicken korma I've never had such a bad curry in all my life. You could ask an Eskimo who's never had a curry in there life to cook for you and it would have turned out better than what ordered. the tough chicken and bland taste of the dansak was just hot with no sweetness and less said about the chicken korma the better. The chicken korma was brown not the normal nice yellow colour it looked and tasted like a Madras with a bit of coconut in it. do yourself a favour and order from any of the other Indians in Southend they will be better than green chilli
