The good was truly delicious, we had the 3 courses weekend meal deal. With a bottle of wine shared in three the final price was £50 each. Great selection of wine for reasonable price. It’s expensive for a small town but worth it for the food and atmosphere. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the staff seemed untrained and confused.

Indulging in the culinary tapestry of Indian Essence was an exquisite journey into the heart of authentic Indian flavours . Each dish, a harmonious blend of spices, transported my taste buds to a realm of gastronomic delight. The kaleidoscope of aromas and nuanced tastes showcased the culinary prowess embedded in every creation. Beyond the delectable fare, the staff's attentive service elevated the experience to a symphony of hospitality. Their genuine warmth and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch, making the dining sojourn truly exceptional. A culinary haven where impeccable flavors dance in tandem with impeccable service – Indian Essence is a gem in the realm of gastronomy.

After looking at the review, Had visited the restaurant to celebrate 40th birthday but we were disappointed by the whole experience.We had ordered veg tasting menu with pairing wines.Wine didn’t come with each meal.Food was extra salty - got it changed but still saltyForgot birthday cake and rush to get us out….Deserts choice very sad - just sorbet!Overall it was not worth spending £99 per person as did not see value for this….Strongly suggest to go somewhere, where you would get value for your money.

Had a wonderful meal with my other half on Sat. Tried a few cocktails from their new menu, staff were very attentive. Dessert is always the highlight for me, had gratted carrot pudding with pistachio ice cream and it was divine. Thank you Indian EssenceSince my first review we had a change to visit again and had the best and well traditional Indian deserts ever, yes we had tried another 3 of them.Since my first review we had been back a couple of more times and every time food is just amazing. Last time service was very slow and we had to literally ask for get some attention from the waiter. No idea if they were super busy or because we sat outside.Sharing some more photos.

Food was presented well and delicately spiced. The female who showed us to our seat was very matter of fact when asked questions. However, all the male staff were very amicable. Otherwise, it would have been 5 stars.

What wonderful food. Bravo. We often order takeaway but decided to visit the restaurant in person. Can't recommend them more. Superb.

It's not every day you get to spend a Tuesday afternoon with lovely friends celebrating my birthday in the company of your amazing restaurant. Food was amazing every single flavour that was listed on the menu I could get from every single dish.The fantastic birthday celebration cake that they made for me and the 5 Star service received really made today a special day.

An excellent night out. We had Maharani set meal - vegetarian set meal. Lovely starter.We had an alternative dessert to the one on the set menu.

Busy, tight seating to the extent neighbouring tables can easily listen or glance into your evening but as I play tennis I shut that out and focused on my sister's great conversation and the meal. Some might struggle though.The tasting menu looked fantastic and had a paired and unpaired option that was reasonably priced for the quality on offer. However, I went for the mixed Kebabs and my sister had the Street Food Bubble Wheat which looked and was reported as delicious my starter was too.We had a goat curry, mushroom rice, charred aubergine and a Naan basket and it was all excellently presented and the taste lived up to that. The Coconut Creme Brulee for dessert didn't disappoint. I am AF and th Salted Lassi was great although the second was over salted. The art of a a good restaurant is the experience as a whole bur also ensurinf that enquiring minds will wish to revisit and try something else on the menu. I would.As a reasonably frequent visitor to Michelin Star restaurants, mostly in Asia, I would say the service is a little bit quirky. As siblings we were wished a Happy Anniversary and a waitress made a very long job of the crumb scrape with a strange smirk at the end which seemed a bit odd. The jacket collection at the end was also framed with in jokes between the staff at the end of their shift which also seemed a bit out of place when customers hadn't left yet.Overall I would go back for sure and the menu has been well designed. I enjoyed the evening for a variety of reasons with the food and company being the foremost.
