Dhan Shiri - Table reservation

I have takeaway from the Dhan Shiri about once a year, usually when other options are limited (e.g. Burnham on Crouch town centre closed off for carnival). The food here has never improved and can only be described as hideous. it reminds of the curries my Mum attempted to make in the 1960s. My take away meal was absolutely awful -Chicken Tikka meat that never seen a tandoor, king prawns that look and tasted like gristle, special fried rice that didn't contain a single whole grain of rice and looked like it had been put through a food blender, the dhansak sauce has absolutely no flavour whatsoever. The best thing about this meal was the free poppadum. Never again.

First time visiting for a takeaway after a recommendation from a friend. The portions are huge. Curries were very tasty, rice nice and free popadums also a bonus. I thought the Naan bread could have been cooked a touch more, but we did get three even though we only ordered two. I would like to visit again and try a different curry before passing judgement as the other local restaurants, not matter what you order, the curries always look and taste the same, and in all fairness, cost twice as much. But overall very nice first visit

Rice gritty and greasy, tarka dhal ridiculously salty and oily and not tarka'd, potatoes old and chewy, poppadoms tasted like cooked in overused oil, dhansak too too sweet. Threw half of meal in bin, inedible. If can't cook food to acceptable standard, shouldn't take orders.

Hidden but well worth the hunt. Portions are out of hand, when the waiter say you will need a takeaway box for the left over they aren't lying. Hands down a fantastic meal
