Indian essence
Reception ,Ambience excellent. Most food courses definite 5 star standard. two items need attention --Aubergine curry too oily not to the expected level --So called Lemon rice no lemon flavour or taste. Management needs to revise these for eg. make guthi vankaya I am sure Mr.kochar would know about it. Ovearall very good experince.

It looks amazing although Is it posh food?
Thanks to my charity who gave me a virgin experience day. I decided to share with my wife and this type of restaurant. Would not be our normal choice. I assumed it was going to be expensive with very little on the plate but looking and tasting amazing. It looked lovely, tasted great and the cost was not that great. Thanks to all the staff who attended to us. We seemed to be seen from everyone there. Normally i would ask or seek to gain attention. This never happened. Thank you all

Unexpected
We received a gift voucher for Xmas for a London treat and had been putting it off due to Covid - decided to exchange for local. This was the closest to us and we just took a chance so not to lose the voucher. The food was utterly amazing and the service was faultless. Really, I cannot express enough how nice it was. Total surprise. I would never have chosen to go there, but will definitely be going back again.

Excellent food - different Indian
Different from the normal Indian restaurant. Food was excellent, with flavours that were definitely Indian, but somehow were more interesting. And service was very good too.

Amazing food and service, Highly recommend!
This was received this as a gift and we visited on a Saturday lunchtime. All three courses were amazing, both taste and presentation and we couldn't fault the service, it was excellent. As soon as we were seated, the prosecco which was included was brought to the table. We also had other drinks and can highly recommend the passion fruit martini! We were delighted to discover this restaurant and can't wait to visit again. Would highly recommend to others.

Delightfully delightful
A superb restaurant, tucked away in the back water that is Petts Wood in Kent. Indian Essence, offered to us as a Ruby Wedding Anniversary present was all and more than we expected. A memorable meal served by attentive staff offering amongst the very best of true Indian cuisine I have ever experienced in the UK.

A memorable dining experience
Excellent services starting with perfectly chilled prosecco followed by exquisitely crafted appetisers. The pan-seared prawn was perfected sea bass slightly overcooked served in a sea of Malabar sauce was simply devine, as too the Nariyal GOSHT. The delicious desserts were both outstanding but the delicately flavoured Turmeric ice cream is deserving of a Michelin star. Reasonable sized portions makes this a clear winner. Indian Essence is sheer perfection.

Fantastic food
The restaurant was clean and well presented. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food on the lunch menu was very tasty, a nice change from a standard Indian menu. The meat and fish were cooked to perfection. We will definitely go back and will try the a la carte evening menu.

Brilliant food and great service
This restaurant just happened to be close to where we live so thought we'd try it out. Really happy we did. It's a more upmarket Indian than most we've been to before but still reasonably priced. Interesting tastes and combinations that work really well. Very happy and will come again.

Superb Indian cuisine
Lovely food totally different to the regular Indian restaurant. Short menu with 3 starters 3 mains (meat, chicken or vegetarian) and 2 deserts to choose from all very special and no less appealing than those on the full menu. Prosecco was a bonus. Highly recommended for Saturday lunchtime when busier than mid week.

Indian lunch experience
The service was excellent & the food delicious. The only thing that let it down was the atmosphere in the restaurant. We were 1 of only 4 tables, even though there were around 30 possible tables in total. It would have been better to have gone in the evening rather than lunch.

Great Experience
Great experience at a lovely restaurant with excellent service. Food was good but not as good as Atul’s other restaurants in our opinion. Cost of experience was probably the same as if you booked it yourself.
