Thaal Of Spices - Tendring

Got a takeaway from hear as we have many times before, the delivery driver said she had been hear 3 times and rung the buzzer and my husband was waiting by the window,then the food was cold because it had been around Harwich, the onion bargees were so hard they shot across the floor my lamb was so tough I couldn't chew it the nans were burnt won't be ordering from gear again used to be the best Indian in Harwich but this was awful

This place has been great for years, but it's got new owners and unfortunately it's gone downhill overnight. Our order took 2 hours and 4 mins to arrive. We were told several times it was out for delivery or being packed as we spoke over phone. When it did arrive I found after delivery 2 dishes were missing anyway! The bombay potatoes were basically inappropriate watery sauce like a soup... never seen anything like it. Won't be back, which is a shame as it was a good takeaway before :

Decided to update my review seeing as there is new management and we thought we would give it another chance. We ordered last night and it was awful. Told to expect a 1 hour wait we waited over 1 and a half hours. Two phone calls chasing our food later and food arrived with some main dishes missing. What was there was not great. This takeaway was wonderful a few years back and now it is so bland. We kept biting on whole cardamon pods that taste like soap. The chicken chat didn't have that lovely freshness and zing it used to have, the lamb palak was slow cooked rather than lean chunks of leg meat. Anyway, i spent to meal trying to get through on the phone to get our missing dishes. Got through after half an hour, complained, rest was finally delivered when we were all finished. Safe to say won't ever be ordering again. We don't often get takeaways, this was a celebration and our dinner was ruined, so disappointed. £45 wasted, no offer of refund, no goodwill gestures.

I love this take away. The food is a amazing, service is quick and the gentleman who runs the place is welcoming. I can recommend the Balti Chicken Tikka Bhuna and the Chicken Danzac.

First time I had a takeaway it was pretty grim, tasteless food and certainly not a representation of what the dishes should have been. Thought maybe they were having an off night so was happy to try them again. It was no better, in fact it was probably worse. Bland Bland Bland. Suffice to say I won’t be using them again.
