More than a restaurant. A Shoeburyness institution. Born in Shoeburyness, Essex — The Polash has been serving the community with authentic Indian & Bangladeshi cuisine since 1983. Over 40 years of culinary passion, warm hospitality, and flavours that keep our guests coming back. 40+ Years of Excellence Since 1983, The Polash has served Shoeburyness with award-worthy Indian cuisine. Our 40th Ruby Anniversary was celebrated with donations to local charities Harp and Southend Mencap. Authentic Flavours Our Head Chefs craft every dish with exotic spices and fresh herbs.
