Taste of Aveley Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in England

It may have been a one off but on a Saturday we booked a table for 5 people as eaten there before.

Firstly when ordering drinks the Cobras came up Warm.

Never seen a fridge ever.

Replaced it by beer on tap.

However that was the start of a terrible evening.

My son when eating his poppadoms got something hard in his mango chutney? It turned out to be hard shards of sharp plastic.

Then I found a piece too.

We brought it to the attention of the Staff who apologised and replaced.

Fine we thought until the next batch of sauce contained bigger pieces of plastic (size of a finger nail)

So again we complained to the Manager who could not understand but apologized and assured us he had removed the sauce.

Our Mains arrived and noticed the Tikka was very dry and the onion bhaji were burnt and shriveled up.

Anyway next to us a new party of people arrived and to our amazement a lady just pulled out further plastic shards from her Mango chutney for which we informed her we had already complained.

This piece was even bigger and sharper and you could have definitely choked on it.

So the same manager came over and then basically lied to us saying it was in the packaging from the onion well the complaints was not about the Onions.

Anyway the final insult to us was when presenting us with the bill!

Now we never asked for some form of discount or even a gesture but the Manager said oh I have removed the chutney from your bill?

It's free and what is the point of having poppadoms if the sauce are not up to standard!

On the basis of this I asked for the poppadoms to be removed for which he did Begrudgingly.

We paid up and left and noticed other people Sivving through there mango chutney.

I do hope they took heed of this and removed a potential dangerous choking hazard. Even he had stated several he had thrown the whole batch away???

Which obviously was a complete Lie.

Our intention was to simply inform the management of the danger to health but it seemed cost was more important

It could have turned out a whole lot worse if someone had swallowed the shards of plastic which my son nearly did.

I won't be returning...

Booked a table to accommodate a party of four, one an elderly wheelchair user. Staff so welcoming and polite, helpful, who knew the menu and can advise to taste. Great choice of meat and vegetarian options available. Food was traditionally served, hot, sizzling and a delight to see. Food tasted as good as it looked, each dish was beautifully flavoured and generous portions. Offered a complimentary drink, when the staff found out it was our elderly relatives 78th birthday, lovely touch so kind, many thanks. Good choice of drinks available to suit both drinkers and non drinkers. Clean toilets, disabled facilities. Parking available at rear of premises. I recommend and will definitely use again. If your passing pop in or...

This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Thurrock, and I have tried them all (no joke). The service is exemplary and they can do any additions or changes to food, etc. that you require. There are lots of little features that add up to make a big difference; cloth napkins, clean fresh toilets, chocolates on paying, sometimes a complimentary drink (if you are nice), opening the door when leaving, the list goes on. The prices are reasonable, not the cheapest, but you know you will get a good quality meal. The only down side is that when they are busy, the service is a little slow, but be patient as quality is not rushed. You will not be...
