Nice food, great service and good atmosphere. We left full, happy and satisfied, but £62 for 2 people without drinks ??? 3 main dishes. Not complaining, but if it had been £42 not £62 would come back often ...
Our first visit.
Very small cosy restaurant.
Best for couples and groups of four.
Bring your own drinks.
(We just popped into M&S next door).
Staff were friendly.
We were charged a service charge, but it wasn't itemised or shown on the bill, luckily I'm good at maths... but there was no apology when this was pointed out.
Toilets clean and bright.
Individual dishes were okay...a bit English.
But better than some other places.
Why most (Wanstead based - I think I have tried them all) Indian restaurants don't actually use enough Indian herbs and spices in their food is beyond me.
Had a lovely meal here with friends. Good service and excellent, tasty food. Also, BYOB, which you don't often see locally.
This place is the best, I’ve ordered take-away from here before and I’ve ate in and they are just incredible, the food is amazing, the staff are lovely! All round amazing place that I highly recommend.

ALMOST 5 STAR!!
I was very pleasently impressed with Purbani.
I ordered a chicken Byriani and Onion Baji. The parcel came with complimentary papadams (very well appreciated), mango, chutney, yoghurt sauce without me having to ask.
The onion baji was fantastically tasty, chicken byriani tasted good (but I needed to add a bit of salt) - lots of chicken in the byriani too. Byrianis come with a side (ubereats did not say or allow me to specify, but I assumed purbani's byriani did so left a note saying I prefer vegetable over dal). The vegetable side could be improved in flavour. I thought it needed a little boost in flavour. It had a traditional Bangladeshi veg called Okra which some may like (not my favourite as it makes the curry slimey and did not work well with the byriani).
Overall very pleased with Purbani restaurants home delivery service. And very close to 5 star for me.
So I first had food from here as a take away which was sooo good - so I thought lemme come here in person and see! The food did not disappoint.
Starter: onion Baji tasted good was very shy on the salad that comes on the side a very very small amount
Mains: lamb curry, chicken biryani ,lamb korma, chicken tika , mushroom rice
All tasted great !! Well deffo be back !
Just needs some music to create a lil more atmosphere and u can bring ur own alcohol soft drinks are expensive though.
We had a lovely meal last night, service was great. They don't sell alcohol, but are more than happy for you to bring your own.
I never used to like curry much untill i came to Purbani. 3 years on not once have i had the means to fault them for their service and quality of food, recommend it 110%
2023 UPDATE: I have been coming here ever since my last review 5 years ago. It annoys me to see some of these negative reviews which I believe are made to pull potential customers away, do not listen to them, the food and service is top notch and they are always accomadating to your needs and wants. They never disappointed me.
Still a 5/5
Quality food but decor and furnishings are quite ropey. Overall if you only care about the food then you can’t go wrong. Service was faultless. Note they only take cash.
Great food
Great service
Value for money
Me and my family always love this place
Just had a meal with the family and the food is absolutely amazing and prompt service
Food was outstanding and service even better. One of the best Indians, even tops our local that we've been going to for years.
Amazing food and service. Quite simply the best Indian in Wanstead! Big shout out to Dulal who goes above and beyond to make your stay a memorable one.
