Asiana Indian - Rochford

Went here for an evening meal last week for a friends birthday. There was 12 of us. Once seated it took awhile for us to be served. Most of us had our own drinks but 2 of us asked for soft drinks and it was at least 15 mins before we got them. Once we had ordered our food we waited for at least another 25 mins. we had the £15.50 deal) 1 starter, 1 main, 1 side and a rice or nan.. very good value for money. I understand there was a lot of us but there was 4 servers.. our food started to come out with the same server, and he was was bringing 1 dish out at a time mains) It took so long! Myself and a couple of others still only had a main and was still waiting for the rest of the food. A server came over asking if everything was ok?? Well , No, I’m still waiting for my rice and a side my friends were still waiting for nanns and a side. Once the rest of the food was delivered to the table, I must say the food was very nice and flavoursome. We asked for the bill and when I was paying, the server mentioned to me that he took off the charge of a nann bread as I had waited for so long. Well no you didn’t because my nann bread was included in the ‘meal deal of £15.50’ .. Not sure what he was trying to say but I’m not daft. We didn’t leave much of a tip either due to the poor service. The food was lovely but the service not so great. Shame really..

Really tasty food, will deliver but we usually collect, with a discount. Staff super attentive. Dining in is sometimes quiet early evening and that suits us.

First time we have been to the Asiana since before lockdown and OMG what a difference. The restaurant has changed hands recently and lost all of the atmosphere and vibe it had before. We felt like we were on the set of Fawlty Towers with one of the waiters. Plates were almost thrown at us, as were all our dishes. Food was mediocre at best, completely different to how it was before and one of my pet hates, loads of sauce with hardly any meat. Such a shame as this was one of the nicest and good value Indians we loved to eat in at. There is no way we will be returning.

So tonight my boy had his first taste of an Asiana curry and he loved it.. Granted it was a Corma, but he absolutely loved it... Plus it got delivered by Pretty Boy who is my favourite member of staff.. You guys are the best.... Not only is the food out of this world, but the service both eating in and delivery is second to none!! Keep up the good work.. Neil

Terrible service. Only one waiter and even what he did was awful. Food wasn’t nice at the time and my wife got ill within an hour of leaving restaurant. Our son and friends went there a few days later and three of them also got ill too. We won’t go back. Shame as we used to like it for a cheap night out. Would prefer to pay slightly more and have a nice meal and not get ill.
