Beautiful food, great service, friendly staff, reasonably priced, would definitely return and recommend. In the photo is a chicken tikka main, mushroom rice and mushroom bhaji 👌

Delicious food, great quality. Very polite waiters. We had coconut rice, mushroom rice, garlic naan, peshwari naan, chicken passanda, balti chicken tikka, fruit chicken, prawn puree and a mango lassi. All absolutely divine. Personally, I'd prefer a more decorated location with dimmer lights and music. Also upgraded toilets. I imagine that a takeaway is ideal from them. Best Indian food I've had in a long time. 😋

Food was great, staff was understanding and excellent, the person in the bar tonight was cheerful and had a great smile. 10/10 would recommend and come back!

Had a couple take away meals from British India including one last night. They have been absolutely delicious. Generous portions and fresh ingredients. The service from the lady and gent as you enter is brilliant. Very warm and friendly and they are great to chat to while Mum and I waited. Another amazing Independent business making Frinton awesome. Thank you British India.

4 of us went to this restaurant after hearing about awards won and great reviews. Well it was one of the worst Indian meals we have had .Not just one course, every course, from undercooked prawns to chicken with absolutely no taste. Even the peshwari naan which was under cooked when we asked for it to be changed the replacement was even less cooked . We paid for 50% of our bill . Which even that was to much. A dreadful experience

Pretty good food. The grilled paneer and the onion bhajis were particularly tasty and the okra dish very flavourful. Decent value too with a discount on collection.

Not impressed at all. I just spent close to £50 for a delivery dinner for 2. I can live with it being delivered 40 minutes later than advertised as it's a Saturday evening & they're busy. I can't live with the fact that it was 90% rice though. We give this restaurant a chance every 2 or 3 years, thinking that it's going to get better. More fool us. Never again. I could have & should have cooked it myself & saved £45.

Really excellent food with lots of it. Captured the flavours of India so well. Service really good also. Good value for money. We are vegetarian and there was plenty of choice for both vegetarian and vegan diets. We will definitely come again and would highly recommend it to others.

Upon arrival we were seated quickly but where not provided with any food menus, after 10 minutes we asked to see the menus only to be told we would have to wait until they take another tables order as they did not have enough menus. Food took around 90 minutes to arrive, whilst we understand the restaurant was full at no point did any member of staff explain there would be a lengthy delay, the real issue was after waiting for 90 minutes most of the dishes arrived cold…. If your kitchen can’t keep up with the orders and keep the food to your high standard which you somehow won an award for then you should restrict the numbers in the restaurant

Visited last night with my partner. We were both really impressed with the experience from start to finish. We were welcomed by a friendly faced gentleman who took us to our table, which was lovely and clean with some well presented origami napkins. We ordered drinks, starters, mains, sides, and dessert. Everything was cooked perfectly, meats were tender and of good quality. The taste and aroma of the foods were beautiful. The dessert was coconut ice cream topped with a cherry in half of a coconut shell, which was a nice touch. On our visit, the establishment was clean and tidy with friendly and welcoming staff who had great knowledge and recommended some wonderful dishes. All in all 5 star experience. We will be back soon for sure. Thank you to all at British India who made our evening nothing short of wonderful 😊 I must add that the prices are great, I was very surprised to see we spent under £50 considering we both had drinks, starters, main, sides and dessert.

One of the worst restaurant experiences ever. First, the waiter somehow forgot that we ordered starters. We've waited for an hour and only after asking again they realized they forgot us. He also forgot to bring us napkins and when he did after finishing the starters, mine was dirty. I ordered a simple dish, it was a chicken omelette with fries and peas. I never thought peas could be screwed up. See also picture... I think they were left for years in a freezer and then heated up in the microwave. At least it's how they looked like. Just disgusting. The omelet was dry and also the fries were squishy like they were heated in an oven.

Stopped for dinner on the way home from family, absolutely lovely curry and rice with poppadoms and naan. Really delicious and lovely staff.

The food in British India is always 5 stars. This is the best Indian food I ever had, ever. The service could be ever so slightly more attentive but still solid 4 🌟. I'd highly recommend this place either as a local takeaway or a restaurant.

Came to try after reading other reviews. Food was very nice and decent portions however won’t be returning to dine in as the room we was put in was so dark we had to use the torches on our phones to read the menu. No social interaction or friendly greeting We felt we were shoved in a corner and basically forgotten about. Took ages to get a drink ordered and then we had to ask to order our food and there was no offer of further drinks.

Service and ambiance was great and when the food came we had high expectations due to the positive reviews. The gravy/ sauces were good however the quality of chicken was dreadful. What seemed like cooked from frozen due to the awful texture. Chicken tikka was not cooked in a tandoor which made matters even worse. The " lamb" was actually low quality mutton that needed at least another hour to tenderise. We were so disappointed, what a shame because everything else was decent.

One of the best! When ever I come to visit family from Birmingham I always make a stop here. Honestly have not found another Indian restaurant that even compares. Keep up the good work guys.

WOW - Honestly in the Top 5 best curries I've ever had, and I'm 56 and lived in London for 25 years. All the ingredients were clearly freshly bought and freshly cooked. No food colouring, not too sweet, decent portions - just perfect. Best chicken Tandoori Shashilik I've ever had. 10/10

Had a wonderful evening, food was delicious and the service was excellent. If I lived in the area I would definitely make this place a regular but I know the people I was visiting go nowhere else. Would absolutely recommend British India. Thanks for a great meal 😊

Really tasty place, love going here, have been many times before and would happily return many more times. Highly recommended for curry lovers! Really nice atmosphere from the venue, we did happen to go when a very loud family was in there that was the only disappointment as they was chatting very loud about fight and drugs… not the typical family from frinton I would assume. But other then that the staff done a fantastic job getting our food out as we was a large group, all came at once and all correct so great work team!
