Called in here last week with a couple of customers. It really doesn't get better than 2 stars I'm…read moreafraid. Its a big place by curry house standards and relatively quite for a Thursday night. Shown straight to a table and given papads plus dips. Drinks came quickly too. We ordered a good selection of curry plus a chicken tikka sizzler. The food arrived and seemed OK part from the sizzler which was actually chicken tikka on top of fried onions on a cold skillet. It would have been better for them to say we don't do sizzlers. My madras was OK but far to mild for me, however that's a personal preference. Special mention must go to the tarka dhall which was bad, watery and tasteless. I guess when it was made it was fine but obviously watered down to make it go as far as possible. Service was OK but as there are a couple of other Indians within a 5 minute walk I probably wouldn't go back.

If you want a pleasant Indian meal with good service, good food and reasonable prices in Romford…read morethen you need to come here. Monday evening they have a special on for £10.95 includes a starter, main, rice, naan and a cup of tea or coffee. The mixed starter is a good choice, the mixed grill for an extra £3, try the cheese naan, it may be too much but you can ask them if you can take it home. The puddings are non-typical frozen deserts except the kulfi. It's spotless throughout. We had a lovely evening all 7 of us for £83.

I had a curry from here the other day when I visited lakeside, My expectations werent that high to…read morebe honest, I've had curry and chinese from these type of places before and never really been impressed. I had one of their meal deals, for £5.95 I got two spoonfuls of curry (you can have 2 different types, I went for a Vindaloo and a chicken tikka) rice, a naan bread, a drink and a vegetable samosa. The drink was a bit small (the size of a small drink at KFC or McDonalds) but other than that I have to say I was quite impressed, Two quite generous spoonfuls of curry that must have had half a dozen or so pieces of chicken in each one, a load of rice and the naan bread is full size not one of those little mini ones. The curries were really tasty, the vindaloo was quite hot but not as hot as one from an Indian restaraunt, the tikka was delicious to the point the my OH was gutted she had got a Burger king instead of a curry and kept dunking her chips in my curry, the cheeky moo! There is a selection of about a dozen different curries on offer going from mild korma through madras, jalfrezi and up to vindaloo (although I didnt think the vindaloo was THAT hot) they also have samosas and extras you can buy, they also sell doner kebabs and rolls So all in all, I would recommend trying it if you are after something different to the normal KFC/Burger King etc. I will probably have one next time I go to lakeside as I dont think the KFC there is very good (and thats what I usually have) They had smaller basic curry + rice meals starting from £2.50 so you neednt spend a fortune to try it.

Just down the street from my favourite, the Hemalaya, the Indian Gate has one unique quality that…read moresets it apart from other Indian restauarants in the area Large and pleasantly decorated inside, what really stands out about the place is the vast array of unusual dishes on the menu - lots of which I've never seen in an Indian restaurant before, so perhaps the India Gate would be a good choice for an adventurous night out where you want to try out something new. Portion sizes aren't what they might be however, with the last chicken dish I sampled having more sauce and less meat than I'm used to but thats not true of all the dishes. Stratford's second best Indian in my view ;)

There are Indian restaurants and pseudo Indian. The Ocean is definitely a real Indian restaurant…read morewith, as an addition, great service. Don't be put off by the slightly modern, unIndian, décor. I think it is great that the usual flock wallpaper is missing. Getting onto the food. The chef will put himself out to make sure you get what you want. Ask for more spice in your food at it is there, however that then takes away the real Indian feel. The chef knows what he is doing. If you are in the area then definitely give it a try. Disappointed, you won't be.

When I called back, had the "pleasure" of speaking to 3 different people, who alleged there was no manager available! Suddenly a "manager" by the name of Krish became available who insinuated I may be being dishonest as the chef had confirmed that the food was fine (but he didn't have the displeasure of tasting it). Very poor quality food, swimming in oil and burnt and then no resolution, other than I'll give you a discount next time. There will not be a next time. I would urge anyone considering caraway not to bother!

While visiting the UK, I had one wish: to consume as much Indian food as possible. I may have been careless in my wishing, because it's literally all I ate the whole week I was there. Most of it blends together in my mind, but Caraway absolutely stands out. The full bar was definitely a plus. I had a drink called the "Woo Woo" which was very tasty, and how could you not order a drink with a name like that? ALL of the food was fantastic. Some standouts were the dal, and this yummy sweet and sour paneer appetizer that almost made me weep with joy. I would probably go back to Ilford just to eat at Caraway. Yum yum!
