Raj Pavillion - Tendring

Having received starters as part of our meal, the waitress began distributing the dinner plates for the main meal and in doing so, a small dead insect fell from between the stack of plates she had hold. Upon realising that the insect fell onto the table, the waitress quickly attempted to remove the insect however in doing so, removed the body but left the head of the insect. The waitress then disappeared to the kitchen and returned with a male member of staff who then attempted to serve the main course. At this stage the waitress was asked whether she was going to inform the other staff member of what had occurred, however disappointingly she stated that nothing had occurred. The waitress was then further questioned by diners as to be honest, she again replied that nothing had occurred however she apologised for any concern raised. This was shortly followed unfortunately by the presence of another albeit alive insect that flew onto our table. The visit concluded with the restaurant reluctantly agreeing to reduce the overall cost of the meal by 20% which was inclusive of the meals ordered by the guests whose appetite had disappeared.

Best curry I’ve ever had definitely recommend to anyone in the area Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Really top notch curry – have visited in the past and been less impressed, but the new management have really lifted the bar. Veggie mains sides were fantastic and we appreciated the warm welcome when we popped into order. Best Indian in Brightlingsea without a doubt! Service: Take out Food: 5 Service: 5

Decent price for main dishes but over priced for small things like drinks and naan for example 1 naan is £3.05! Also when you sit down the ask if you would like popodoms and in the bill 1 popodoms is around £2! Verry disappointing, not coming back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Manager gave me and my whole family a free taster as a starter and an amazing main curry, mwah Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
