India Grill

"I hadn’t been in here for years but was looking for a walk in restaurant that had a table available for a Saturday evening. Well I’m glad I did as the food excellent. Although the menu didn’t have my go to Indian dish the owner Mo said that his kitchen could cook anything that I wanted but in the end I was tempted by the Punjabi butter chicken (hotter than the British version) which is also available on the menu. Service was very good indeed, friendly and relaxed and the bill was very good value. Although there are increasingly more flashier eateries in Loughton these days you won’t find a more honest one."

"Such a wonderful first visit to The India Grill this evening. Staying in Loughton for a few days I was dining alone but have seen the place packed at the weekend - so it must be good! You'd hope so - the family have run the business from these premises since 1970 and it's currently listed as the No2 best Indian Restaurant in the whole of Essex. I ventured inside on a snowy, cold and miserable December Monday and I'm so pleased I did. The Owner, Mo and his family gave me a lovely warm-welcome. My order; Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, Keema Rice, Onion Bhaji. All came, promptly, piping hot, fresh and with beautiful levels of flavour and spicing. Perfect portion size (a decent sized meal)...not too much, not too little. Excellent value. Will be back again, next time with my wife!"

"We have just had the most delicious meal here this evening! Fabulous personal service, a lot of care given to my daughter who has never had Indian food before!! It’s my mums favourite restaurant, she eats here regularly! She loved sharing it with us all!! Food was just lovely!!!!!! Thank you for a great evening!!"
