Best Indian Restaurants in Sawbridgeworth

Had been intending to dine here for ages and planned in a visit to tie in with a trip to the ExCel centre. So many great dishes on the menu, it was difficult to choose just a few - but we selected the Chicken Cafreal Zambeziana (tender chicken with a piquant green sauce on delicous crushed potatoes), Lamb Samosas (very delicate, an elevated samosa experience), garlic naan bread, spiced fried paneer which was actually quite chilli-hot, and the Parsee Lamb Dhaansaak, one of their signature dishes, with tender lamb served in dhansak sauce with caramelised onion rice. We just had room after for dessert of nutmeg spiced creme caramel, and a scoop of Belgian dark chocolate ice cream. I'm still thinking about the garam masala spiced Old Fashioned I had to start, and we had a decent bottle of rose wine with the meal. The team were all very welcoming and friendly, and it was a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience. Looking forward to a return visit, hopefully during a lighter spring evening with views out over the docklands.

Great veggie food. The options for gluten-free and vegan were much appreciated and well sign posted. The flavours really came out.

Always good food, great service, nice ambience, we will keep going back for sure.

Very good food, the staff was lovely, The restaurant was clean

Lovely venue, although in the middle of no where in my opinion. Service was good as we had early booking. Starters was delicious, the venison kebab, the quails egg I would have preferred it to be a bit runnier in the middle when you cut into it. The sauce was great and good amount just right for the amount. The mix grill was a disappointment due to the small portion size, there was not enough flavour to this dish. The prawn purée was nice, please serve in a flat plate as it will be easier to eat than the round bowl we had it served in. Ambience was nice. Mains were ok the meat dish was not spicy enough as per details on the menu, the dhansak was lovely, the peshwari naan was yummy. The duck dish would be better to be cooked to one’s tastebud, I would have preferred this a little less cooked. Dessert- we didn’t enjoy in the way it was described on the menu, however the cake for the birthday was nice along with the other complimentary little pot we had. A lovely evening full of lovely food
