Our first visit. Very small cosy restaurant. Best for couples and groups of four. Bring your own drinks. (We just popped into M&S next door). Staff were friendly. We were charged a service charge, but it wasn't itemised or shown on the bill, luckily I'm good at maths... but there was no apology when this was pointed out. Toilets clean and bright. Individual dishes were okay...a bit English. But better than some other places. Why most (Wanstead based - I think I have tried them all) Indian restaurants don't actually use enough Indian herbs and spices in their food is beyond me.

Home Order Review. ALMOST 5 STAR!! I was very pleasently impressed with Purbani. I ordered a chicken Byriani and Onion Baji. The parcel came with complimentary papadams (very well appreciated), mango, chutney, yoghurt sauce without me having to ask. The onion baji was fantastically tasty, chicken byriani tasted good (but I needed to add a bit of salt) - lots of chicken in the byriani too. Byrianis come with a side (ubereats did not say or allow me to specify, but I assumed purbani's byriani did so left a note saying I prefer vegetable over dal). The vegetable side could be improved in flavour. I thought it needed a little boost in flavour. It had a traditional Bangladeshi veg called Okra which some may like (not my favourite as it makes the curry slimey and did not work well with the byriani). Overall very pleased with Purbani restaurants home delivery service. And very close to 5 star for me.

Nice food, great service and good atmosphere. We left full, happy and satisfied, but £62 for 2 people without drinks ??? 3 main dishes. Not complaining, but if it had been £42 not £62 would come back often ...

Had a lovely meal here with friends. Good service and excellent, tasty food. Also, BYOB, which you don't often see locally.

This place is the best, I’ve ordered take-away from here before and I’ve ate in and they are just incredible, the food is amazing, the staff are lovely! All round amazing place that I highly recommend.

It's such a shame. After all these years, it's never as nice. We've had four or five bad meals now. Won't be going back. This last one was weirdly fatty, like it had been mad with too much coconut milk and nowhere near enough flavour 😑 I could eat it and threw it away... we're just tired of it now.

Came with my family what a tremendous small cosy place this is, great customer service they were fully booked and still managed to fit us in, the food was delicious they catered to all our allergy needs, Their head waiter helped us with recommended dishes, which were so great will recommend, even took an extra takeaway, thank you Purbani, first time but not my last.

Wonderful food and service. Defo recommended for all who love to do Indian. Such a posh restaurant and amazing Chicken Tikka Biryani! Many thanks to the owner, Mr Dulal to make our time so very special in all possible ways!!
