Curry Master - Basildon

Wow! Ordered from here for the time after trying nearly every Indian in the area and this place is by far the best curry house I’ve ordered from. The food was so tasty, not greasy and good portions. Staff wee extremely friendly and didn’t need to keep repeating myself. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

My boyfriend and I ordered a take away bank holiday Monday. Food took around 50 mins to arrive and when it did it was hot and full of flavour. I had one of the specials and my bf had the Madras, both excellent. We have tried several Indians in the area and this has certainly been the tastiest. We will certainly order from here again.

Did a order for delivery for over £50 paid by card, was told wait is about 1 hour and 20 minutes, ok not a problem. An hour and 25 minutes later a women from 4 doors away knocks to ask if we had ordered a takeaway as one had been left by ‘her front door’. Food was stone cold. Called curry master no apology or offer of refund only if I wanted a replacement I’d have to wait longer.

Yesterday, we decided to order takeout as we were busy like many others. Unfortunately, it took over 2 hours for the food to arrive, even though we are close to the restaurant. When it finally arrived, it was lukewarm and unappetizing. The lamb tikka rogan was mostly sauce with tough and chewy meat. The butter chicken lacked the traditional flavors of cardamom and tasted more like a spicy korma with a gritty ground almond taste. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience and will explore other local restaurants in the future.

We have been eating our Indian food here for a very long time now, wouldn't go anywhere else as it is so nice. Food always fresh and hot. Good size portions and very tasty. (We once had Indian food from another restaurant when we were over where our friends lived and it was totally tasteless when you are used to curry master)! The only one problem we had a while back was a long delivery wait, so now I make sure I collect it myself, but I'm sure they have sorted that out by now. Would highly recommend.
