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

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.

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.

I recommend Pakwaan if you want a good curry for a date night. We had a great time and they made it feel special.
