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 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.

We got the dry meat and it was a good portion, nothing exceptional per se. The naan had pools of ghee on it which I don't think was necessary. The menus are sticky and the bathrooms are pretty dirty. We got a salty lassi which we asked to be a bit thicker which they accommodated and appreciated!

Absolutely loved Tayyabs!…read more The one thing I knew I needed when visiting London was Indian food and I'm so happy I found this restaurant. Found this restaurant on Yelp after seeing such great reviews and I wasn't disappointed! At first, I was nervous my friend and I wouldn't get a table due to how busy the restaurant was but since we were only two people, we had no issue getting a table. Seating is tight! You are almost arm to arm with the individuals sitting around you which I actually found to be a great experience. My friend and I ended up striking conversation with the people next to us which led to a fun dining experience. Service was quick! We ordered food and it came out quickly and all waiters were super attentive. In terms of food, everything was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were huge! First we ordered the lamb chops and the samosas which were absolutely amazing. We then ordered the chicken and lamb dishes with the naan which completely filled us. I can't wait to come back and I will absolutely be dreaming about this restaurant until I come back!

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.
