Just had a takeaway this evening and I must say that this was the BEST vindaloo EVER! Not just heat but loads of flavour. Everything about the meal was great. Cannot wait to go back next week.

We would like to thank the team at Eastern Promise. We have been frequent customer in house but more recently take away. We had a takeaway tonight again and it was truly outstanding. Thank you for continuing to be there and providing amazing food. Peter & Claire

I understand in these times it’s hard for companies and staff however Absolutely disgusted with the service!
First of all the food turned up 25 minutes late then Got delivered the wrong order, we called to say about the order then promised our order in full to then have to wait another 25 minutes for the order to only come as part of what we had ordered and we were expected to eat someone else’s cold food when issues were raised service was appalling and was only offered a free dish next time.

We have been to the Eastern Promise twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The food is hot, very tasty and there is a huge choice. The flavours are excellent and fresh-tasting.
On both occasions we ate early and the restaurant was starting to get busy even at that time. It is very obvious that many people were regulars, which is always a good indication of a good eating place!
We must mention the friendly and helpful staff - we have been to many Indian restaurants where the service is efficient but the staff make no effort to engage with their customers - not so here, we were made to feel welcome and the waiters spent time chatting with diners which is so lovely to see.
Can’t wait to go again!

An unplanned visit for dinner. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very clean, quiet, comfortable.
The food was authentic and varied. For desert we had another main so no comment on desert. An absolutely wonderful surprise. Highly recommended.
