Officially named the best Asian takeaway in the UK this week at the ARTA 2025, Kaani Kaana in St Marys Lane is, perhaps unsurprisingly, Havering’s top rated place for a curry.
From over 190 Google reviews, the Indian and Bangladeshi takeaway spot has a five out of five star average rating.
This branch only opened in April and prides itself on lesser known heritage dishes according to founder Sadiq Ahmed.
He said: “We go to our local suppliers to hand pick the fresh meat that we want and although it takes a lot of effort, we know that the quality will be better and there will be nothing out there like it.”
Kaani Kaana’s most recent Google reviewer described the food as “amazing”.
The Clove, Hornchurch
One of two Indian restaurants in Havering with a 4.9 out of five star Google rating is The Clove in Squirrels Heath Lane.
This has received over 550 reviews to date.
On its website, The Clove names itself “the best authentic Indian restaurant in Hornchurch”.
One punter this week wrote: “Great food, best Indian I’ve had so far around Havering.
“Sooo good. Definitely my go-to now.”
Bengal Spice, Rainham
Also with an average rating of 4.9 out of five is Bengal Spice in Upminster Road South.
One reviewer recently described the food as “beautiful” and said the Saag Paneer was the best they’ve ever had.
Another person wrote: “The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavour and beautifully presented.
“Every dish was fresh and packed with taste, easily some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve had in a long time.”
Gup Shup – Chit Chat Chai, Romford
In Blockhouse Lane is Gup Shup – Chit Chat Chai with a 4.8 average Google rating.
A review posted only a few days ago read: “Lovely authentic Indian street food, all tasted fantastic.
“Will be back to sample more from the menu.”
Another person this week wrote: “We love coming here for chai and street food.
“Lovely atmosphere, kind and attentive servers and delicious, authentic food.”
Sutra, Romford
Sutra in Main Road has a 4.7 average Google rating from over 160 reviews despite only opening in February this year.
Parsanna Rao, director of Sutra Hospitality Ltd previously described the restaurant as a “pan-Indian kitchen taking the best of India from the north to the south”.
One punter labelled Sutra the “best Indian restaurant in Romford” this week.
They said: “Absolutely loved the food here.
“This will now be my go-to spot.”
