Really nice place decore wise. Food was well presented and tasty. Its a little expensive but cant fault the food and atmosphere. Staff were friendly and always there to help. Great for veg or meat dishes. Lots of choice for cocktales and drinks. Worth a try for sure

We eat here at least once every 6 months and have never ever had a bad meal, the standard of food and service is always consistent. We visited this week and food and service was as always excellent. Always finish off with a chocolate martini! Loving the new smart decor too. Thank you and see you again very soon

It’s been afew years since we last visited Indian Essence. The food is still tasty, packed with flavour and presented well. We love some of the new items on the menu. Their signature cocktail menu is unique and extensive. They offer a wide range of mocktails too. The biggest improvement for us is the service. The staff have been trained well in fine dining and not overbearing like on our previous visits. Can’t wait to go back
