Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the food as delicious and fresh, with the Sunday lunch buffet drawing repeat visits for its wide selection and options for children. Close behind is the service, described as friendly and attentive, with a manager sending complimentary desserts to a family's daughters, an owner adding extra sides to a large takeaway order for a group, and staff preparing takeaway food for one couple. One solo diner found the chicken jalfrezi tasty, noted cardamom in the sauce and enjoyed the mushroom rice, though the onion bhaji lacked flavour and freshness, and the portions were so huge that plenty was left over. Another reviewer felt portions were the right size for sharing several dishes. The caveats are specific. One group found the vegetable samosa and garlic naan disappointing and the food only okay, and a diner asking about dairy in the vegetable shashlik was told the yogurt marinade was "just a little", which they called unacceptable. Another found the cokes served warm instead of chilled.

    “Ate here for the first time last night and the food was delicious 🤤 the staff were very welcoming and attentive. I recommend this restaurant over any other curry house in Loughton. It felt like a warm friendly atmosphere and all the tables barring a few were occupied. I did say don’t reserve a table but I think maybe we were lucky to get a table so maybe do reserve to make sure you do get a table if coming from further out of Loughton. You won’t be disappointed with the delicious food. Just one and only thing the coca colas would be better if served chilled and not warm 😊”

    “Delicious food. Very friendly service. Alam looked after us and kindly prepared some takeaway food for us as well. Highly recommended!”

    “Delicious food and fantastic customer service. I ordered set sides and a choice of mains for 10 people to have the food to take away. This was for a social gathering at St Marys Church. Abdul, the owner of the restaurant, was very accommodating and made sure our food was ready for the time we needed it and even gave us some extra sides. The food was fresh, hot and delicious and our team thoroughly enjoyed their meals. If you are looking for great food to have as a takeaway or if you are having a gathering and want Indian food, I highly recommend Forest Tandoori. Thank you so much to Adbul and his team at Forest Tandoori. Lieu”

    “Sunday lunch buffet - great food and variety to choose from. They were fantastic with our small child. Attentive and friendly service. All of this for £16 per person! Fantastic value for money! I have only been here twice for the Sunday buffet, so can't comment on 'normal service' times. Everytime we went, people where having a birthday party or celebration and what a good way to spend it! We will do the same for a family celebration too! We are pleased to support a local business like this!”
