The Akash Murgh Naga is the best I have ever tasted in my life. Hot, but not ridiculous, so many background flavours. I have eaten curries from top end London, to back street Bradford, this is definitely up there in my top 2 percent. Just consistently lovely.. perfection

Very unassuming restaurant. Never had anything but a good meal here over 7 years. Lovely staff, good prices for eat in and takeaway. Great range of Indian cuisine.

These guys know there stuff. Top notch scram, great service and exceptionally good value. Cannot fault one thing. Cosy traditional curry house. If you're going for a curry in Benfleet or environs give them a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed
