About Indian Village
On Harwich Rd in Colchester, Indian Village is an Indian takeaway cooking familiar and speciality curries for walk-in orders. Butter Chicken and Lamb Madras appear alongside Chicken Tikka Masala as regularly ordered dishes, and the kitchen also turns out vegetable curry and mixed non-veg options. Poppadoms and onion bhajis round out typical starters, while chicken tikka biryani, tandoori mixed grill, and garlic naan form a common combination. Orders are placed in person rather than reserved ahead. Food reaches customers through delivery rather than dining in on site.

Customer Review Summary
Recurring complaints center on inconsistency: some report tasteless or watery curries, over-salted dishes, and Bombay potatoes lacking spice, while others describe poppadoms cooked in oil so old it made them stink, and portions shrinking compared to earlier visits alongside a switch to plastic packaging. One reviewer reports upset stomachs after eating chicken tikka masala with lamb. Delivery mishaps recur too: a wrong order handed over on collection, and one driver arriving without change, leaving a customer paying five pounds over the bill.

“Absolutely delicious food! I ordered the Butter Chicken and Lamb Madras, and both dishes were full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The delivery was really quick, and the staff were friendly and polite when I called. You can tell they care about their customers. Tasty food and great service – highly recommend this takeaway in Colchester!”

“Watery curry with no taste other had so much salt it was uneatable no spice in the bombay potatoes . To make matters worse the delivery driver had no change so it cost me £5 over the bill price. So disappointed!”
