I read the reviews before hand and they were very encouraging. We had a warm and professional welcome by the manager. The food was really good, as was the venue itself. The service here is first class and we felt well looked after and respected. None of the usual 25 minutes wait for the bill at the end, that we seem to get in most restaurants in Essex. I recommend Pakwaan if you want a good curry for a date night. We had a great time and they made it feel special.

The food was great, a massive selection and many of the dishes on the menu I had never heard of before. Luckily the waiter was very helpful and recommended a few things for us.

The staff was amazing and offered great suggestions. To start, we had papadums and chutney while enjoying Gurkha beer. For appetizers, we ordered momo, aloo chop, onion bhaji and (my new favorite) choila. We had army-style lamb (you should include a lamb dish here), chicken curry, saag aloo, daal, aloo jeera, rice and naan for our family-style entree. Everything was very tasty. The owner introduced himself and we had a great conversation. Overall an excellent experience.

The sign said Take Away but down the stairs we found a very cute restaurant. They are going to change the sign! The new Owners took over about 6 weeks ago and have some great ideas. They might add the option of bringing your own wine etc. into the restaurant without the corkage fee. A great idea and we will try that next time around. For now we ordered take away and it was just great. I always have Lamb Korma, Basmati rice and Nan bread with mango sauce. It was excellent,. My old Mum had a chicken curry and it was a big step up from the meals on wheels she is using these days! My husband had a lamb curry and loved it too. We will definitely make Spice King our Indian restaurant when we are in Billericay. Thanks guys and good luck.

Yes the restaurant looks a bit "tacky" but the food is fantastic, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to for a good curry. If you want good food in decent portions then this is the place for you, if you want to go to a "posh" restaurant and have three prawns and a lettuce leaf and a drizzle of curry (why would you!?) then this is not the place for you!
