Went to Amala in benfleet for Mother's Day. All you can eat. Time slot 4-6pm. Service was very very slow for everything, staff unhelpful. We finally got our food at 5.45pm and most of it was cold and quite a bit missing. No apology. So we left. I have tried to write this review on their face book page and they keep taking it down. Wont be going back. Spoilt my Mothers Day.

Good service, the guy seemed to be looking after the whole restaurant on his own ! Food was not great but at £13 you get what you pay for - we wouldn’t visit

This restaurant always exceeds expectations. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is amazing - the best in the area easily. We have returned to the area in the last year and tried other local Indian restaurants but this wins hands down. The chef is always happy to create something unique for us if we cannot devide what to have.We are now regulars for both takeaways and eating in. Our advice is to try it and see what we are raving about ! Keep up the good work guys ?

We regularly visit the Amala having recently returned to the area.This place is a little gem and by far the best Indian restaurant/takeaway in the area (and we are spoilt for choice).The staff are always very warm and welcoming and their genuine love and passion for food is evident in the beautiful food that is served. I tend to be a creature of habit and have a bengal with extra coriander and chillies but every so often I ask for help and inspiration and try something different.They are happy to suggest new dishes which seem perfect for my taste and I have never been disappointed. There is so much choice with a very interesting menu that is reasonably priced. Eat in or takeaway I have only had positive experiences.I usually visit with my partner,occasionally friends and have also been in with large parties between 12 to 15 people for family occasions. The atmosphere,food and service has been worth top marks. Thank you to the Amala for always making our night!

Lovely food, excellent service. I’m really fussy with meat and can’t stand anything chewy. The chicken and lamb we had was succulent and tasty and not chewy at all. Flavours were good and portion sizes were just right for two. We will definitely return.

Amazing food very tasty lots of meat in the tikka masala.My dad had chicken phall he loved it very nice and hot he says ?
Dined in on Wednesday night there was one other table with a group of three diners all night the place had no atmosphere the waiters didn't know what to do with themselves because it was empty.Food was ok used to be a lot better three years or more ago we used to eat there but it has gone downhill a bit would I eat there again,no there are better places about.Parking: Car park very close by minute walk

Went there for dinner on Wednesday evening there was only one other table being used a dad and his two children . It was a banquet night for £14.95 for any starter excluding fish and prawn dishes any main except fish and prawn you pay £2.50 extra on starters for any of those dishes and £3.50 on mains,and any side dish and any rice or a naan each. I had a mixed starter and my wife had chicken chat both nice the mains she had mixed grill but it came with king prawns we don't know how many 1 or 2 but they wanted to charge me £3.50 for the dish just coming with a couple of prawns rather than a whole king prawn dish unbelievable but hey he said he would do it without king prawn so that's what she had expensive for what she got. I had a chicken tikka dansak it was ok not the best and we shared a mushroom rice and a keema naan which I sent back as there was no meat in it that I could see and all soggy and oily on top ,which they did a new one ,better. Pint of cobra each job done it was ok wouldn't go back even for their banquet night but try it for yourselves.
