What User likes about Indian Essence By Atul Kochhar:
Fabulous Indian food which we've enjoyed many times during lockdown. The standard and cooking style is far higher than your standard Indian take away and really can't be equalled by many other restaurants, and even fewer take aways. Pricy but well worth the cost View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Indian Essence By Atul Kochhar:
indian essence has a first-class call and a red letter experience gift of a 3-course dinner with prosecco for two we got high expectations. sad we were not awakened by the experience. we received a limited menu and the dry over cooked garn starter was certainly not what was expected. the ambiente was good and service ok. but £6.75 for a pint on beer was a bit above the tip.
