Essence of Bengal in Thurrock

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 Essence

A very enjoyable meal for my wife and I. Seekh kebab and Raj Kachori to start with Lamb Nihari and Murg Makhani with Pindi Chole. The two Lamb dishes I had were filling and the flavours were delightful. Raj Kachori was beautifully presented tasting as good as it looked.Was surprised I had to remind staff to for side plates for poppadoms and also the potato in the Nihari was too hard.Despite that, the rest of the food was very nice and staff pleasant and helpful.

It was quite a long drive for us to go there, but it was worth it. The staff were super nice and made sure that everything was just right.We went at lunch time and had the set 3 course menu with prosseco which was absolutely amazing. The down side is that other Indian restaurants that we always thought were good have now gone down a notch. However this is a restaurant owned by a Michellin star chef (Atul Kochhar} - and it shows.We went away very happy.

Fantastic dining experience, authentic Indian flavours with a twist. Service was second to none. Great wine list.

Lovely restaurant. Meal was amazing ,beautifully presented. Friendly staff. Highly recommended

excellentwe had the tasting menu for 2, i had the wine journey and wow... the food and wine were amazing and the service was awesome. All the staff were constantly keeping an eye on plates and glasses on all of the tables and everyone was serving and clearing tables and nobody seemed to be too important to talk to the customers. we will be going back...

Food amazing and great portion size.Service was excellent.For me this place is better than Cinnamon Culture and Tamasha.

What was an exceptional meal was spoilt quite alot by the lady who turned up to sing 90s ballads and was no better than a cat being strangled at karaoke bar.Hence the 3 star rating rather that would have been a simple 5..The first 40 minutes of being there was really peaceful, brilliant service, (which continued throughout), along with pleasant Indian background music.The food was first rate and very enjoyable, even to go as far as arguably the best Indian style food I've had.Although I wouldn't revisit unless I knew that woman singing wasn't there.

Excellent service and food. We had an amazing evening here celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary. They took such good care of us here. The food was out of this world. The live entertainment was absolutely fantastic, making the whole evening very very enjoyable. We will definitely be returning. Thank You.
