More curry options

Chelmsford has some great curry houses with a good selection of Indian, Bangladeshi and Thai curry restaurants. The Baddow Road area is a hotspot for curry with TM2 (previously The Taj Mahal) as well as many other old favourites.

There are many excellent curry houses on the outskirts of Chelmsford too. Yasmin, which is a little further up Baddow Road as you leave Chelmsford, is another excellent restaurant in what was previously the Carpenters Arms pub
