This is by far the best Indian restaurant that you will find. I guarantee that you won't just come…read morehere once. I think 99% of the clientele are regulars. Mia the owner greets all of his customers and will remember all of you names. The food is delicious and menu quite extensive. We have often had little extra side dishes bought up to our table for us to try. They are always experimenting with new food and value your opinions. After your gorgeous culinary experience, you will be presented with little glasses of Tia Maria and cream. We are always invited then by Mia to have another drink on the house. This is a large restaurant but most nights it is packed out. On Friday nights he has Elvis along to sing. At the end of the evening most people are up dancing. On Sundays there is a buffet but you can still order off the main menu. I totally recommend this place, you will be given a big warm welcome and then be in for a true curry feast. The prices are reasonable too. They do takeaways and you will always be offered a drink when you come to collect, there is a discount on takeaways. You must try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

I was visiting the UK with my husband last week and craved a good Indian meal. Walking down…read moreBillericay High Street we came across a Red door and went in. 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.

The menu had a good selection of dishes mainly South Goan. The food was excellently presented, and it tasted as good as it looked, in fact I would go as far to say this was the best Indian cuisine I have tasted since visiting India earlier this year. I will certainly go back and thoroughly recommend anyone who likes there curry

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.

My friend and I visited this restaurant when staying at an Air BnB across the road. I was so…read morepleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely gorgeous. It seemed like an odd choice initially, the interior and entrance felt like someone's living room and we felt like we stuck out as not being locals, but service was very friendly. It was obvious this is a popular spot in the area. It was very busy and the tables are close together. The decor isn't like your typical curry house, it is more like a pub. Service was quite slow with drinks but all that was forgotten once we got our food. I would definitely recommend thur restaurant for people staying at the AirBnB and for locals alike. Great value for money as well.

I loved the lentils with the nan! The sauces they gave were very lovely paired with everything. Service: Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable with the menu.

Overall: I would recommend this place to other people and possibly come back in the future when I revisit London! Food was pretty high quality and so were the people working there. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious too!
