my wife and i go to this restaurant often we know the staff very well , we have never had a bad meal the staff have never been rude or bad mannered, the food is always of a high standard in fact very high standard , i found the menu was quite large and the staff are willing to explain what is in every dish i have seen them cater for vegetarians coeliacs and vegans and ask this at the first step as you sit down, and also caters for people that want an english meal instead,i do not know how this can be faulted.

We've just celebrated my Mums 70th birthday here today and every one of the 37 adults had a great time and enjoyed the food, the service and certainly had no complaint about the cost. Starters and all you can eat buffet for £8?? Can't go wrong. The staff kept the tables clear and the boss couldn't do enough for us. It's not the first time we've eaten here and it certainly wont be the last. Def recommended.

I was in the area visiting friends and decided to try the tandoori parlour. The food was top notch, I have sampled many indian resturants in the kent and essex area and I have to say that this was up there with the best of them! The chicken pakora was fantastic and my wifes chicken vindaloo was an eye watering beauty! Never again will I resort to a home cooked Pataks cooking sauce when I know that this place is only 10 minutes away and offers such good value for money! On top of the astonishingly tasty and good value menu the athmosphere was superb, I personally enjoyed giving my rendition of the classic "Journey" after a good meal and some drinks at the bar. The music on offer was a good contrast of modern and classic popular with an engaging and fun DJ. Whilst eating in the resturant area although the music was still audible it was in no way too loud and just provided a nice background ambience.

The problem with people my age is that I feel too old to go to a club and too sociable just for a pub. Here I can have a party atmosphere and eat great food. It's what people 30+ need. Seriously this is very good. Great value for money. The private dining area upstairs that seats about 200 is great for functions. Food quality outstanding and a must visit if your wanting a good night out!

Went there on 4th may 2013 for my boyfriends 40th, there were 18 of us, we had a brilliant night. Fantastic value for money £17 a head for unlimited buffet. Food was delicious. Service and staff extremely friendly and nothing too much bother. Dancing till late and dj was great fun. Great atmosphere, if u want a party atmosphere then go here highly recommend. Thanks tandoori parlour we all had great night.

Overall a big restaurant with 100 plus dishes to try from (under £8 on a Sunday) Noisy at weekends after 10pm but hey it's Essex Great quality of produce Friendly staff Caters over 400 people 5 star food and hygiene scores on doors The Tandoori Parlour is not your stereo typical Indian restaurant where you can go eat and patronise the waiters. If your interested in what part of India the staff are born in or how good their English is then I suggest you go elsewhere. If however your looking for a curry and a night out (particularly in the weekends) then this is the place to be at. They have a buffet with over 100 dishes for your choice. You can eat all 100+ it's amazing. Their drinks are as cheap as any pubs and they have 2 dance floors where you can have a dance afterwards. You can come in as couples, groups of four or even 300 (yes 300!) if your looking for a quiet night then you can leave before 10pm, if however you expect it to be quiet after 10 on a weekend in Essex then your not really from Essex are you? I have been eating here for over 20 years and have seen the transformation of the restaurant over the years and can say that the food has always been to a high standard. The quality of the meat they use is better than any other Indian I have tried. The chicken is juicy and the lamb tender. The service is slick and cannot be faulted with the management greeting you like old friends even if they haven't seen you in over a year.

read a few reviews before went didnt know what to expect all i can say was treated really well i just dont know where these so called critics get off if you go to a large indian with dancing your not going to get a cosy little corner this must be the best value in essex music atmosphere and food decent it may not be to everyones taste, but a night out you cant beat, if you want your poppadoms in peace dont come here but if you want a fun night with mates celebrate here you,ll have a good time .

As bad as that sounds I find it difficult to believe purely on the basis that a restaurant as big as the Parlour has a 5 star scores on doors from Environmental Health. Instead of publishing your view on the net you should call the health and do something positive about it assuming its true. The point of your comment is to inform the public of your sons tikka, but action via a phone call to the health inspector would suffice :)

I agree, just came home from. Hen night n the old lady was unbelievably rude. Asked me 4 times to pay the bill While I was still eating she was rude and totally should not be working there

Spent last Saturday night at Tandoori Parlour to celebrate my wife's 40th Birthday. There was 25 people in our party and I can now report that an excellent night was had by all. The whole ambience, the food, DJ & Karaoke makes for an all round special evening to remember. Shar, one of the managers is very friendly and approachable for any special requests, that make your evening just that little bit more special. I fully recommend Tandoori Parlour, Thundersley, Essex for one of your best nights out! Thanks Very Much!!!!

Just had the best night out ever in thundersley of all places. Went to the tandoori parlour in hart road after hearing rave reviews from all my friends. Food was excellent and the staff very friendly, the place comes alive after ten with an excellend DJ Disco and kareoke we all ate drank and danced all night and came home with change from 40 quid cant grumble at that, great venue for a hen or stag party or work function. would highly reccomend.

This is the place to go if you are looking for a good night out with great food. Not too expensive and the Indian and Nepalese cuisine was the best we had tasted in Essex. You can eat as much as you like on the buffet which is fabulous. The staff are all friendly and attentive and the whole place is very clean and welcoming. Fantastic disco and karaoke! We will definitely be going back soon.

My guess is that you work there, because it is NOT by any means, an Indian restaurant of any quality.

Firstly I have to say that this is a great site and one where you can start a thread.
I agree with matey and think the restaurant is brilliant and I don't work there :)
It's a shame you didn't enjoy it but why venture out from Basildon? Isn't there any decent ones there?

This Tandoori Parlour is run by two brother's,I and my friends generally visit once a month,we have the buffet,lovely selection,food is hot in temperature and in taste,as stated on the food trays,so you can decide on how hot you like your food to be,also you have a silver served starter and you can go up to the buffet as many time's as you wish.Sunday to Wednesday evenings the buffet is under a tenner,so you are not being over charged for your food,so if you are not heavy drinker's then the evening can be very cheap for a night out,an average evening for us is around 15 quid.
Go and try it out!

Tandoori Parlour is one of the most family friendly places to eat. They can not do enough for you nothing is too much trouble recommend the Sunday buffet. Nice touch having the plazma screen showing the Chefs working away in the kitchen.

do you work in the cherryleaf by any chance, putting on comments to suit your own buisness.
