Reviews Essence Of India

First time here and we'll definitely come again. Lovely service. Our meal was lovely and piping hot, with the best Naan bread we've had in a long long time. They were light and thin with a crisp base.

Ordered a late night takeaway from this place about a week ago. Faultless. The lamb starter was sublime. Chicken bhuna ooh la la Coriander naan...I should have ordered two. From my experience I'd give this place a 5 star because the food was ace.

Lovely place, great food and great prices. The service and staff were lovely. I would return x

Amazing food as always love this Indian it always tastes just as good as a takeaway as well, highly recommend as the best in Brierley hill/Dudley, staff always helpful and friendly you do bring your own drinks here just so you are aware! Miss this Indian since I moved from the area!

Very impressed with Red Peppers. I’m fussy when it comes to Indian food (being Indian, I know what to expect), most Indian restaurant serve pretty much the same dishes, they’re either too oily or the lamb/chicken is ridiculously massive and overcooked! But, everything from here was bang on! 2*Popadoms came with the order for free (which usually you have to pay extra for on takeout). I had the meat samosa to start - was very impressed, the pastry was nice & crispy but the meat I wasn’t expecting the spice as they’re normally not spicy, but it was a nice spice and not too overpowering (I guess these are brought in and not made on site?). I then had the Balti garlic achari with mushrooms (similar dish I’ve had before, everything else on the menu seems the same as other restaurants but I’m sure the chef(s) offer their own twist). Once again very impressed with this dish, started off having less than half to start off with as I noticed the pieces of chicken and lamb were quite big (I prefer bite size pieces, so had to cut them down so it would fit in my naan), but it was very moreish and had the rest of it! Could taste a few bits of pickle in it and the occasional chunk of garlic. The sauce it was cooked in was very nice and cleaned up with the remaining naan bread & fries. Had a garlic naan bread as well, there’s some hint of sugar in it, which is annoying and unexpected. Mint yoghurt & chilli sauce were provided and both of these are very nice, yoghurt mint was a nice consistency and moreish, whereas the chilli one had a nice kick to it. Fries were hot when they arrived, however had some bits that tasted like it was over cooked or from the old batch of previously cooked chips. Overall, will be ordering again and hopefully visit to eat in. Highly recommended. Only took a picture of the starters, should have taken a pic of the mains, but trust me it was bang on.

Been here a few times now and had takeaways, every time has been faultless. Husband loves the warm red onion sauce with the poppadoms. I always have prawn balti and there is plenty of prawns. Son has cheese nan and he says its like pizza, he loves pizza so a great compliment! The shop next door sells most booze so you can take your own.

Great service and amazing food! What can I say, if you haven’t dined at this restaurant before you really need to. The menu caters for everyone’s taste and has many interesting dishes on there. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly, informative, chatty and very funny. There is nothing you can ask for, one of our diners couldn’t decide between two dishes so they bought her out a small dish of both. All the food we ordered was delicious and freshly cooked. I would highly recommend a visit to Essence of India! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

Excellent food and staff bend over backwards to oblige, nothing is too much trouble. Great value for money. One of my many visits, perfect as usual.
