China Village Braintree

I placed an order online around 6:20pm, but the food didn't arrive until 9pm and was cold. I tried calling the restaurant that evening and since, but no one answered. They also haven't responded to my emails requesting a refund. This wasn't the first time we've noticed a decline in the food quality, and after spending thousands of dollars here in the past for large parties, this is the last straw. We won't be ordering from this restaurant anymore.

We have been loyal customers of Maharaja for a while now. The food has always been delicious and arrived hot in a well-packaged box. The portion sizes were also generous. However, our recent experience was disappointing as we received small portions of cold, greasy food in a plastic bag. When I called the restaurant, I was informed that there has been a change in ownership and chef. This came as a surprise to us. Unfortunately, we will not be placing any more orders until there is another change in ownership.

This takeaway did used to be pretty good but has got progressively worse over our last three orders. Last nights offering was barely lukewarm on arrival, 45 minutes later than stated (over 2 hour wait). The food was pretty shocking, prawns and meat over cooked, flavourless tandoori, jalfrezi with no flavour and a ridiculous amount of heat, awful nans, stuffed purata with no fillings I could go on. All I can think is this place must have changed hands as although we have had the occasional average meal over many years of custom, nothing has been quite as consistently bad as recent offerings. Sorry to say but we will no longer be ordering from them.

First class meal fast delivery& thank you for the poppadoms, we will visit the restraunt as soon as your open again

We have been using Maharaja for 3 years now and it has always been a very tasty meal for a very good value. We always order the set meal for two, you get lots of food and it's all so yum! We have recommended many people to this Indian and every single one of them have always been very happy with the food and service. We moved just under a year ago but still continue to use them as they are by far the best Indian takeaway we have found!
