Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Halstead

Food options have been better but still not much to choose from. Food needs improvement. Service is better than before. I usually had to wait a long time to get someone but it was easier to get attention.

We hadn’t been to Navadhanya since they moved from across the road to their current venue. (Pre Covid times) The restaurant itself and staff were all very nice. Unfortunately the food was not like it used to be and instead of being a cut above most restaurants that serve Indian cuisine (eg fine dining) it wasn’t really much different. Which is a real shame as it was previously excellent and that was their point of difference and worth the price. We had the starter Gheva and Patta chaat that was huge and really we could have just share one ( the previous papdi chaat they used to do I feel was much better) We had a range of mains but felt the sauce used was very generic that you either had prawns or chicken in depending what you ordered. It just didn’t have the freshness and completeness of their previous offering. I think if we had never been there before we would have been satisfied and thought it was ok. Unfortunately we had enjoyed many meals before with family and friends both tasting and a la carte menus. Having said that food and taste is very subjective they still offer varied menus and their tasting menu and it is a good Indian restaurant just not to my particular taste anymore. The staff remain attentive and terrific and the restaurant itself is lovely.

A relaxed & welcoming restaurant- helpful & cheerful staff, ready when needed, but not at all intrusive. I had the best bbq steak rib ever 👌& my sisters Sirloin was perfect also, and if we are ever back in Stratford, this is where we'll eat. Thank you all at HS&Co, a dream team & perfect food & ambience.
