I absolutely love Indian food and the Bengal Spice is my favourite place in the area…read more As I look for authenticity, as well as quality and keen pricing, I was delighted to see dishes on the menu with some classic Bangladeshi ingredients: Naga Lamb (worlds hottest chilli, with a great flavour), Chicken Shatkora (a regional citrus fruit) and Cabbage Bhaji (better than it sounds!) It's Bangladeshi cuisine, but not the tourist- or post-pub stuff you find in suburbs or on Brick Lane these days. The restaurant is modern and welcoming - hey, what am I doing? Stay away - its mine!

Had a selection of food and dropped it in the middle of the table and the first timers with us totally loved it. Held off on Vindaloo and Madras but the Korma and Tandoori was as amazing today as ever! I swear, there are a lot of reviews that say "you must try it" but seriously, you must try this place! The service is brilliant, the staff friendly and the ambience is comfortable! Please guys, if you're in Loughton, this place is worth the visit!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure Bros were still rocking the charts last time this place was decorated, but if you…read morecan overlook the tired furniture and strange decor then you are in for a treat. Don't get me wrong, you will not find any gastronomic genius here - this is strictly a vindaloo and pint of Cobra curry house. But what it does, it does very well, and it has been doing it for a long time. Sadly, despite the good food, this place seems to have (undeservedly) been in steady decline for quite a while, and tends to be less than half full most of the time, so don't be put off if it looks empty!

Food: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5…read more I decided to visit the restaurant because it's not far from my hotel near the ExCel area and it was also on the Michelin recommended list. The food was fantastic. I ordered 2 small plates to start: the lamb samosas and the Gressingham Duck tikka, which was on their seasonal special menu. The samosas were light and the lamb filling was flavorful and spiced perfectly. You can taste the lamb and the Indian spices used in making the dish. The chutney / sauce that accompanied the dish provided a nice sweet and sour foil to the spiced lamb filling. It was divine. The Duck tikka was more heavily spiced but in a good way. The vermicelli like noodles on which the Duck rested were delicious, as well as the Duck. The savory notes worked in tandem with the little bit of garlic that was in the sauce of the vermicelli, which was awesome. The lamb main dish had such a deep flavor and it didn't disappoint as a main dish with the curry sauce. The apple samosa was the perfect ending to the meal. The apple filling was elevated by the nutmeg and the cardamom. The house made apricot toffee ice cream was creamy and smooth. It wasn't overly sweet and worked in perfect harmony with the apple samosa. The service could be improved (I waited by the host stand for about 3-5 minutes before someone saw me from the kitchen and grabbed the host. I was the only one in the restaurant at the time (18:10). I was presented with the choice between sparkling water and still water and picked sparkling, but was then told it only came in big bottles, and so I asked for regular water. However, he never came back with the water and took my water glass, in fact. Another server checked on me, which was nice. Also, the owners came out and checked on my food and talked to me for a little bit as well, which was nice. Other than the missteps in the beginning, I would say this was an overall good experience). The restaurant is lovely and is located by the water. I had a great view to the sunset as I enjoyed the dinner. If I'm back in this area, I will definitely return.

If you like tasty food, and you enjoy eating well for not a lot of money, do visit Chennai Dosa…read more It is very much an Indian version of a caff, and the seating and service is interesting, but you can forgive them anything. Why? Because you can have a great, healthy meal for less than £5, and there's not many places that will do that in London. It's vegetarian, and although I'm not and there are non-veg options, I stick veg when I'm there, because it is so tasty. My favourite? A chilli iddly to start (a fried dumpling served with peppers, onion and chilli) followed by a Masala Dosa, all for about £4. If there was a down side to it, it is that I didn't understand what a lot of the menu items were - they are authentic. But I've enjoyed finding out.
