Dreadful. Ridiculous price for the quality of food. When the food came out my rice was hard and hardly cooked, waiter stuck her thumb in the bowl to see as she was walking away, was told another was coming out to then be told they had no more rice. WHAT INDIAN RESTAURANT RUNS OUT OF RICE?!
Food wasn't flavoursome at all, no spice, cold, hardly any sauce with the curries and the greasy poppadom platter had a sauce which tasted of bbq sauce, sorry what?!
Ordered a chilli naan that has 0 chilli on or inside, just lots of pepper.
Overall the worst indian restaurant I have ever experienced. Don't do what we done and give it the benefit of the doubt, not worth it at all.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
I cannot stress how bad this place is, ridiculously overpriced for something clearly not freshly cooked!
Four of us went out for a birthday meal, it come to a staggering £183 for what I can tell you was one of the smallest portions of food & so so underwhelming. Not a proper curry house - do not go. If you want a curry, just grab a ready meal from the market on site, will save you a bomb. Gutted to leave a bad review but this place needs to go or completely new chefs & staff.

Absolutely awful! What a waste of money for a ready meal! For an Indian to run out of plain rice too is ridiculous just shows there all packet meals, no quality in them. Overpriced rubbish wouldn’t bother wasting time and money going. Could have fed a family of 4 all week for that! What a disappointment just needs closing down! Freezing cold in the restaurant and service was all over the place. The fact they diddnt even question taking money off the bill shows how many times they get bad reviews. Can get better quality curry and spice with my chips from a fish shop!!!! DONT BOTHER GOING!!!

Absolutely awful I’ve had better microwave curry meals. Was extremely over priced and waited over an hour and the restaurant was empty! I know why. Please don’t eat there save your money and get a microwave meal will be a hell of a lot better and you will not need to remortgage your house. Shocking🤮

Much better than the harsh reviews above suggest.

Surprising amount of negative reviews on here. We overall had a good experience and the food was fantastic. The service wasn’t great and there was a delay in most of the courses coming out. The toilets were absolutely freezing, cold water, no heat in the hand dryer. Took ages to warm myself back up. The restaurant itself also wasn’t warm. Was good but not perfect.

Truly awful. In a family Christmas group of 7.
The staff and service were good. The poppadoms, chutneys etc also good.
After that -my black daal was inedible-tasting of a combination of HP sauce and BBQ sauce.
Vegetable samosas old, chewy and smeared with the same revolting sauce. Rice uninteresting, no taste and clumped together.
Spoiled the evening completely. Expensive too.
My meal was not the only bad one in our group.
Would not recommend.

Hate constantly reading reviews about “how much such and such has gone down hill” but deterioration of this restaurant is unreal.
Service was sub par, had to request drinks after 10mins of waiting with the restaurant virtually empty and staff standing around chatting. Lady at front desk was lovely and friendly otherwise rest of staff didn’t even bother to smile.
Food was horrid, I know from previous history that biryani’s are lovely at this restaurant but this one was a complete let down. Zero spice, zero flavour, like warm. Tasted like something you would break £2 into at a supermarket.
To top it all off the bill comes along and the staff make a point in front of everyone to let you know a default 7% service charge has been included and that you would need to let them know you want this removed from the bill (passive aggressive levels of service).
This restaurant used to be one of the best things about centre parcs, I won’t be returning again it was horrid. £85 for a meal for 2 completely ruined the holiday.

Wow, what’s happened? YEARS ago this was amazing. There was a native Indian chef, amazing food and service.
The “food” today was genuinely inedible. I don’t usually moan and complain, as it’s embarrassing but we had to today.
We got our starters, both chicken (wings and tikka) and they were HORRENDOUS. The wings are baked (more like microwaved) and were slimey, flavourless and sat in a pool of pissy microwaved sauce.
The chicken tikka starter was grey, beyond slimey and had was clearly microwaved in a plastic bag. It STANK, like it was off. We both took one bite of our starters, then put it aside.
The manager graciously took it off our bill, with no stress or pressure. I feel we arent the first to mention how horrid the food was.
We paid our bill and declined our mains, feeling ill after the disgusting starters.
Please dont read this and think i’m a food snob being fussy. I’m not. This was absolutely disgusting. Centre Parcs are saving money to increase profit margins, pumping out awful, awful food to their high-paying customers.
This was my 8th+ visit to CP & Rajinda and will be my last on both counts.

Didn’t even get past the starter.
Food was presumably microwaved and the smell of the chicken (wings and chicken tikka) was so off putting we cancelled our mains and left.
The meat was grey and slimy.
Over priced and very disappointing for somewhere that used to be great.
Staff were lovely though and very apologetic and couldn’t do enough.

If you’re looking for the most disappointing Indian experience at an extortionate price look no further.
Absolutely shocking! Pathetic portion size (half filled Tupperware), flavour was mediocre, lack of sauce and meat.
Bring your own microwave meals.

Definitely not freshly cooked. Wish I read the reviews, as like everyone else has stated, it tasted fresh from a jar from the market, whilst still at a steep cost. Cobra £7 a pint and was flat/dead. Rice tasted like microwaved rice, clumped together more like couscous. Service was the only positive, but food was extremely poor. Would not recommend!

This is one of the nicest indian restaurants I've ever been to. Excellent food, service was good, pricey but it's within Centerparcs so you expect it. Will definitely be visiting again the next time we're at centerparcs

The worst Indian takeaway I have ever had. It was basically supermarket sauce from a jar and we paid £60 for 2 mains, some rice, a naan and some bhajis.
Unfortunately this is a consequence of centre parcs being greedy. Instead of having a proper Indian restaurant in their resort who they'd have to share the profits with, they're running it using a bunch of teenagers heating up frozen ready meals quality food.

Wow!!! Tasted like a microwave ready meal, nothing authentic in our opinion.

I wish I had read the reviews first before eating here. My chicken tikka masala was brown and tasted bland like it was from a supermarket jar. The onion bhaji was so salty it put me off. There was no depth to anything we ate.
Staff and service was good just the food was a complete let down.

Excellent service and food as usual. Have never had a bad meal or experience at any of the Center Parcs restaurants.

Food at best was comparable to a microwave special from the supermarket over cooked dry rice and the worst curry I've ever had at an Indian restaurant don't bother £25 ahead min for mains for a microwave dinner rip off centre parcs should be ashamed to allow such a restaurant to exist on park

If you like pataks pre made curry and overcooked rice you'll love it here

Just disappointed. We ordered meal for 6 for delivery so can’t tell you what service or atmosphere is but judging on food I bet it would have been poor. We have ordered variety of curry’s, shared rice and Naans. To be honest the only good thing about it was Naans. Curries were so salty we needed water to wash it down. Portions were small too and for the money that you pay it’s actually a joke. We usually share rice when we order takeaway usually but it’s definitely only one portion in box. When you spend so much money you would expect great food but this was just disappointing. Only order this if you are on a diet or lost your sense of flavour, otherwise prepare a jug of water on a table.

We ordered a mixture curries, naan and onion bajis. All were quite salty and the portions of rice were very stingey (especially if you are used to sharing a portion from your local curry house).

We highly recommend Rajinda Pradesh at Centre Parcs Elveden! From the moment we arrived the staff were attentive and friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure that we celebrated not only our recent engagement but also a lovely family meal to end our holiday on a high! The food was high-quality and generous in portion sizes, with a friendly atmosphere!
We will definitely be returning as this was a night to remember!

Genuinely the worst Indian I’ve ever had and especially for the cost 😅 it’s literally out of a jar and not cooked from scratch. Can’t believe we didn’t check reviews before! At least they got the Naan bread right. That was actually tasty.

Good point first, the Staff are amazing.
The food is expensive and bland. Don't be fooled by the Indian sounding name you will be disappointed as this is not an Indian restaurant, it is "contemporary Eastern-inspired".

Attended this place, good ambiance & service, food hmm… some kind of fusion tried to make it like Indian bur in vain, cooked in some kind of sweet paste, personally i think it’s pre cooked frozen food been served as zero flexibility in cooking ingredients ( thats not a case onsite cooking). Don’t visit if you want to eat Indian, only visit if you dont have any other option.

Similar to the other reviews. The service was good but the food… well, I would recommend going to the parc market and buying a jar of curry sauce for a more authentic experience.
The onion bhaji was burnt on the outside and raw on the middle - nothing like a greasy pile of uncooked seasoned flour batter to set you up for the main course. The staff were very good though and deducted it from the bill. As for the main course? I enjoyed the lager I had with the main.
In fairness to be expected on a single source site so not overly disappointed. Just need to manage your expectations going in.

The staff are really nice.
You can go anywhere to get nice staff though. If you want food, go elsewhere. If you want actual Indian food forget it. All 3 dishes were basically tomato puree with meat in. Worst 110 quid ever.

Rajinda? Hardly know her.
The best meal we’ve had all week at center parcs. Super friendly service, stunning bahji and naan, nice atmosphere and a more elevated vibe than other restaurants in the parc. Overall a rlly lovely end to the stay.

Expensive, salty and I agree with the other reviewers that it tastes like a ready meal. Onion bahji was mainly batter and overcooked. Our vegan diner enjoyed the vegetable samosa.

Surprised to see such low reviews for this restaurant, found it to be the best meal during our stay and was a great experience. The staff were amazing (shoutout to Sandra) and they went above and beyond for us. The food was pretty tasty and it had a solid menu to choose from and was all presented very well. Yes it’s fairly expensive but where in Centre Parcs isn’t ?? A great way to end our week in Elveden

Ordered via restaurant runner, one item missing (replacement sent quickly when I phoned), naan so charred it was inedible, food was OK but portion sizes absolutely measly for the price, as with everything at Center Parcs these days, a complete and utter rip off, wouldn't recommend :(
