Al Amin in Tower Hamlets

Extremely disappointed, what can I say I ordered online and the delivery time was over an hour. Called to cancel and they guaranteed it would be 30 mins. It arrived at the time it was predicted with two mains abs two sides missing which left practically nothing to eat. The delivery waited outside for 20 mins without knocking then handed over half the order! Left hungry and disappointed

The food is always great and as for the atmosphere and service is very friendly and efficient so it is always a delight to visit

Pésimo servicio, el peor que he recibido en años. Pedido a las 7:45, destinado a llegar en 40 minutos. El correo electrónico dice que llegará a las 8:50. Llame al restaurante a las 9, dicen que salió, el restaurante estará allí en diez minutos. Nada. Llame de nuevo a las 9: 20, "la comida debería estar allí en 1 minuto", le pregunto por qué dijo lo contrario antes y me cuelga. Vuelve a llamar a las 9:32, lo escucho de fondo preguntando si la comida se ha ido, "la comida se fue hace diez minutos", me da la excusa de que el conductor es un tercero para que no sepan qué pasa después de la comida hojas - tono muy rudo. Le pido que llame al conductor, dice que me llamará. No es así. Llame a las 9:45 y pregunte dónde está, suspira, obviamente con la esperanza de que se mostrara sin que él tuviera que hacer nada - "¿Todavía no está allí? ”. Le pido que cancele el pedido y me reembolse y me dice que debe ponerse en contacto con el servicio de conducción para intentar obtener un reembolso, pero que no sabe si funcionará. Este servicio de conducción era la opción de pedido directamente a través de su sitio web. Dice que se pondrá en contacto conmigo después de que los llame esta noche. 10:22, llame de nuevo después de que no recibí respuesta y aparentemente la persona con la que hablé se fue y no regresará hasta mañana. Aparentemente me llamará mañana con información sobre un reembolso, pero no tengo mucha fe.

I love this little restaurant, it's very homey, and the owner is a lovely guy that loves football. The food was so delicious, and the service amazing. I will come back!

This place has a lively atmosphere, the waiters are chaotic but very kind and welcoming.But the food is really horrendous. Even during dinner we started to have stomach pain and we’ve had to run to the toilet ever since. Not fresh, small portions and a homeless guy in a hoodie was helping to pass on the dishes from the kitchen to the restaurant. We were served the wrong dish, which wasn’t a problem at all. We started eating from it and then suddenly it was replaced by the actual dish we ordered. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were serving the dish we ate from to other guest.

Lovely quaint restaurant. Greeted and attended by a lovely waiter. Menu had a lot of variety. I got a rogan josh curry with lamb and paneer, absolutely delicious 😋 The pashwari naan was the best I’ve ever had🤤 Will definitely come back again!

Cuando hice mi pedido a través de solo comer, tardó años en confirmarme y luego me dijeron que el pedido se entregará a las 12. 10 pero nunca llegaron. Llamamos constantemente al restaurante, pero no respondieron ni entregaron nuestra comida. No ordene en este restaurante, son estafadores.

Great food and fantastic service. Highly recommended when looking for a meal in the area. Staff is welcoming and friendly plus the food is delicious.

Currently sat in restaurant writing review. This place is a gem. Thankfully it is off the beaten track so giving an excellent review will not mean I will struggle to get in again or face inflated prices ( the main reason why us TripAdvisor reviewers hesitate before giving excellent reviews).Faultless. Great staff. Not your bog standard Indian menu, with Fish Mixed dish excelling. Please don’t make the place to busy, I have stated working locally and will be hacked off if I can’t get in.

Came with a group of 10 people in early October. We all loved the food, it was spicy and rich. The prices are very fair and Mo, our server, was both knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend!

Popped into a local east london Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant only to be given a warm welcome by the owner and an ever ‘Hotter’ reception by the food. This was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was quiet however inside this family owned Dhaba it didn’t feel that way. The first class banter with Mo and the finger licking HOT curries it might as well have been a busy Friday night. Appreciated your honest views of us jocks and will definitely be hammer.....ing your door down again

Visited purely based on Trip Advisor reviews and was not disappointed. Excellent food and welcome. Veg pakora to start, two contrasting chicken mains, plus side of saag paneer all excellent. Will definitely return!

Qué joya de lugar. Mi esposo y yo visitábamos Londres con dos de nuestros sobrinos de 18 años, que nunca han estado en Londres. Después de un consejo de un local, nos detuvimos bastante tarde y tuvimos excelentes platos de curry. Los sobrinos, que nunca tuvieron cocina de curry, comentaron sobre la calidad de la comida y el ambiente de Al Amin. Fue tan bueno, volvimos por segunda vez!

Visitamos esta joya de un restaurante anoche por pura casualidad después de asistir a un juego de béisbol con nuestros amigos. Somos de Escocia y ellos de Estados Unidos. Los cuatro estuvimos de acuerdo en que la comida era increíble, y el propietario Mo es un tipo encantador que nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos. Recomendaría este restaurante a todos y la próxima vez que estemos en Londres, definitivamente regresaremos.

We've been getting takeaway from here for a while and it's always really tasty. We sat in for the first time this evening and loved the local atmosphere, definitely recommend!! Better than Brick Lane!

Popped into Al Amin rather late after a boxing show. Not a problem to Mo and the two girls who promptly served us beer and popadoms. The curry was really good , proper chicken breast rather than the cubed rubbish often served. Thank you for looking after us at short and late notice. Highly recommend.

Lived in the area and discovering Al Amin was by surprise on a late night work on way home. That was in 2016. Since then I go every month if I can. Amazing staff and delicious food. They are friends now :)

The ambience feels cold and miserable, could definitely do with a revamp! Service was very poor and was under staffed. After having waited 45 minutes for the order, we were served luke warm food. Seemed like it had been sitting for a while and nobody had bothered to bring it to the table. Portions are very small for the prices and very average taste. Better places out there!

So, started disastrous as i ordered on deliveroo. Came twice and was mushed all over the deliveroo bag. Called the restaurant direct and the lovely manager explained that it happens to a lot of restaurants when the deliveroo bikes, and he very kindly offered me a free meal and delivery by their own driver. Lovely gentleman and great service. will be back again, with your own service.

We visited here on a Friday night. The service is good and the beers are cold. The food was outstanding and very reasonable. The tables at the back are away from the draughty door. Recommend.

Extremely delicious authentic Indian food. The paneer tikka masala was particularly good. This was our first time and won't be our last!

We've been ordering from Al Amin for over 10 years. Mo has watched our youngest grow up and even take part in the Vindaloo challenge! Sometimes we eat in but normally it's a delivery. We've honed our order to perfection. Husband has Xacuti Lamb - which has Ajwain seeds in it. We know that because we asked one day and were shown the packet. It's otherwise known as Bishop's Weed and we've never tasted it anywhere else. Apparently, Bishop's weed is used for digestive disorders, asthma, chest pain (angina), kidney stones, and fluid retention. Anyway back to the order: Chicken Dhansak x 2, Mutter Paneer x 2, Tarka Dhal, Bombay Aloo, Garlic Nan and Poppadoms. You can see this amazing spread in my photos. The meat is of exceptional quality and there is loads of it in each dish. Deliveries are speedy and the food is always piping hot and delivered with a smile. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

Just got home from this beautiful restaurant the food was amazing!! The service was perfect. Best Indian restaurant around.. easy 10/10 best chicken tikka masala I have ever had I highly recommend to eat here

the best indian restaurant in Bethnal green if you ask for something yhats not on the menu they will do it for you all polite and lovely staff from the management waiters & kitchen staff would recommend this place 2 anyone and if you go on Mondays you even get 35% off all your food

Love Al amin. Great food, Monday discounts, I was ill the other week and got a takeaway and Mo the owner sent me a little pudding to cheer me up. Thanks Mo. Have a meal here and I guarantee you'll return for more. Also they always go the extra mile for their customers and will even tweak your meal to suit your taste and style.

He estado yendo a este restaurante durante muchos años. ¡Y se pone cada vez mejor cada vez que voy! La mejor comida, el mejor servicio. . . . . Si haces algo en tu vida, visita esta casa de curry. Créame, no se decepcionará. Un sobresaliente de mi parte.

Mo y el equipo de Al Amin te hacen sentir como en familia.

The food is excellent, staff is great and the beer is cold. What more could one ask for? I will come back.

He vivido en el área y he estado yendo a Al-Amin por más de 25 años. Una de las casas de curry originales en el East End, y administrada por la misma familia con personal que se queda mucho tiempo. La comida es excelente y siempre están listos para adaptarse al gusto. Es bastante pequeño e íntimo, pero también es ideal para salir por la noche con un grupo de amigos. Tengo muchas ganas de celebrar el cumpleaños significativo de un amigo el próximo mes. Tuvo muchos momentos felices con amigos allí durante los años.

best curry house I've been to and the most friendly staff about. they always try to make you feel at home

Han estado viniendo aquí por más de 10 años. ¡Siempre he sido uno de mis favoritos y luego cambiaron el menú recientemente y de alguna manera lograron mejorarlo aún más! ! Ahora tienen muchas más opciones vegetarianas / veganas / pescatarian. Tandoori Deluxe es mi favorito personal y también hacen un Sag Paneer de craqueo. Un lugar agradable y limpio con un personal amable que lo hará sentir como en casa. ¡Coma aquí una vez y nunca más querrá ir a Brick Lane!

Good homely curry with a bit of decent spicing. One of the best around and certainly a step up form Brick Lane! I've been here about a million times... I keep coming back and I keep bringing others since it rarely disappoints.

Brilliant variety of tasty food, that caters for everyone! Staff are always friendly and welcoming! Would highly recommend

Been here with friends as well as with my wife. Live locally and have regularly as takeaway too. Consistently great food, good friendly service, and fair price. Can easily recommend.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is always good, I would highly recommend eating here with friends, lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Situado a 2 minutos a pie de la plataforma en Cambridge Heath, esta es una joya de un restaurante, pequeño, no muy pequeño. El personal fue amable y servicial; teníamos menos de una hora para comer antes de que llegara el tren.

Fuimos a este restaurante a las 10. 30:00: sigue abierto! Y a pesar de un montón de gente en el interior, el personal encontró una mesa para nosotros muy rápidamente.

Great local restaurant. Friendly with great food. We are regular visitors and eat there every week. Hugely popular with locals

Yo entramos en Al Amin después de un par de reuniones antes de volver a casa. El restaurante estaba lleno, con un ambiente muy agradable. La comida era muy buena y regados con mi primer encuentro con mangostas. Mo era genial con los clientes en casa, así como en el teléfono.

Así es como recuerdo haberme presentado a los secretos de la cocina subcontinental en los años setenta. Absorba la unidad, la amabilidad y el maravilloso sabor. Restaurantes como este están desapareciendo. Ellos han estado aquí desde los años ochenta, disfruta. Creo que esto es una delicia genuina.

Het eten was erg lekker! Hoewel de kaart soms onduidelijk kan zijn als je niet erg bekend bent met de Indiaase keuken, staat wel erg goed aangegeven of het eten niet erg pittig is. Ook is de bediening erg vriendelijk, en kregen we na afloop 2 kleine drankjes en een roos cadeau. Ook de prijs is goed te doen vergeleken met veel andere Indiase restaurants.

Después de más de una hora de espera (con el tiempo estimado indicado de 45 a 60 minutos) llamé al restaurante. La persona con la que hablé fue muy agresiva y poco profesional, solo se molestó en cubrirse e interrumpir en lugar de ser cortés y servicial. Ej. '¿Lo quieres o no? 'y' Absolutamente no 'cuando pregunté sobre cómo obtener un reembolso.

part of the order was missing. I contacted the restaurant who promised a refund for the missing bits but this has not been processed.

Used Trip Advisor to find this restaurant and we were delighted. Some unusual and tasty dishes and a good wine list £15-£25 a bottle. The staff were friendly and we had good fun along the food. It was our first visit but won't be the last. See you there!

First time order, very nice, particularly the chicken tikka and paneer saag. Will order again.

small portions for main courses and no sauces for the starters

Been ordering from and eating in Al-Amin for years. I wouldn't go to any other Indian!

Estaba navegando por un buen restaurante indio cerca de Bethnal Green, y es justo decir que hay muchas opciones. Terminamos en Al Amin y pasamos un tiempo estupendo. Es un restaurante pequeño, así que no hay demasiado lleno. El personal es muy amable, y en la cima de nuestra fantástica comida nos dieron una oportunidad, un chocolate y rosas. Volveré!

food was delicious, it was worth the wait but delivery took ages and one dish was forgotten, this was rectified and they were very apologetic. Will def have food from there again but next time will eat in!

Great food and great service. Highly recommened.

Food arrived late but restaurant called to let us know. Food wasn't hot on arrival but once we'd warmed it up it was tasty and good quality. Would order again.

Food was lovely typical indian take away that hits the spot. The time slot for delivery was 45-60 mins - when I ordered they added 30 mins on, but then it came early.

Really good food and hot delivery early

Good food. Been ordering and going to Al Amin for years.

Pretty average... quite bland and not at all spicy.

We specifically asked for food to arrive at my brother's home at 8 20pm and it arrived 50 minutes early. We were not even there and my brother had to pay. Food was not hot by the time we arrived.

Fresh tasty food, good portions and reasonably priced. Not swimming in oil like some places. Have always delivered on time or early. My go to for delivery.

Had a late night meal here on a busy Friday night and not bad at all. The food was fine and brought to our table very quickly. The young lady that served us was very helpful and friendly and the prices are good.

The food was luke-warm at best.

Portions quite small, but tasty

Excellent food and good quality ingredients - fantastic taste. Delivery time could be faster but i think they are super busy all the time because the food is SO good!

Friendly delivery, good takeaway offering. We regularly order from Al Amin.

Food was 40 minutes late and lukewarm at best. Had to use microwave to make it edible. Very disappointing and let guests down. First time using and won't be trying again anytime soon :(

Ordered online and selected collection as this was in 15 minutes (with delivery in 45 minutes). Subsequent email said restaurant had added 30 minutes to collection time. Turned up after 45 minutes (pretty hungry by now!!) to find meal on cool side as it had been ready for 30 minutes. Food acceptable. New to the area, will try other places I think.....

Great food but really slow and didn't let me know!

Onion Bhaji - a bit stodgy, 4 pc per serve. Nice flavour though. Would have preferred less dense and more crispy. Garlic Naan - Very good. Tandoori Chicken Razala - very good. Quite hot which I like, picked out the chillis before eating. Delicious flavour. Delivery took quite a long time but accurately predicted. Ordered on Saturday so to be expected. Nice delivery man as well. I will definitely be ordering again, thank you!

Esto no parece increíble desde el exterior - pequeño bajo el techo de la casa de Londres sin especial interés. Pero la comida es realmente, realmente excelente. Preciosa, excelente gusto cantidades con un balance brillante de fresco y picante realmente no se siente como estar en Europa ya en absoluto. Los precios son muy razonables y que no hay mucho, así que es una muy buena relación calidad-precio.

Delivery time was 70 minutes (although we did receive an email letting us know it would take this long after we had ordered) the food is excellent but was only Luke warm when it arrived so we had to microwave it. But great value and excellent flavours

Had a great meal here. Great food company and service. Will be visit again very soon. Had chefs curry was best had in a while.

Very disappointed, not very nice at all

Tasty good quality food, delivered at the time quoted and reasonably priced. Will be my go to for delivery from now on. Only reason it is not 5 stars is cuz its not as good as tayyabs but then nothing is!

Hemos trasladado a la zona y esta fue nuestra primera experiencia de Al Amin. Pedimos comida para llevar para la colección. La comida estaba preparada para ir solo como entramos en la puerta (exactamente 45 minutos después de colocar el orden), que fue justo a...

Small portions. Poor quality meat

Food was great! But delivery time was longer than it said

Estábamos en la zona para ir a Albuquerque Londres (rompiendo los cócteles eran mal) y justo después de cenar antes. Este fue el lugar encontrar. Las salsas con poppadoms eran muy buenos, el chutney de mango es el tipo realmente gruesas con grandes trozos de...

Ended up waiting one extra hour for the food..

Very tasty food, and excellent/efficient delivery driver. Would definitely buy again. Thanks!

Great tasty food, and delivered hot. There was no restaurant service as it was a deliver, so not piossible to rate- what a stupid question, so I have given it 1 star.

very happy with this order. all dishes excellent, will be back!

Comida excelente, el servicio es excelente, el personal encantador (Lilly y mo). Ambiente agradable, acogedor. Una gran relación calidad-precio! Volveré.

Ordered 19:20. Original delivery time 20:00. Post order delivery time 20:30. Actual delivery time 21:15. Not good.

Se llenan esta tarde porque estoy deseando ir allí firma curry. El resto de este texto por la magia de cien cartas.

Food was all drenched in way too much oil. First time ordering from here & eat Indian a lot, two centimeters of oil sitting on top of every dish isn't what you want.

Food was extremely oily, and just didn't taste right. Will not be ordering again.

Friendly and ready at the exact time specified for collection. The food was delicious.

They kept adding time to the delivery estimate, and then they marked the order as "delivered" even though it hadn't been. This was the first time we used them - why can't restaurants be honest? They gave an estimated delivery time that they clearly had no intention of meeting; I don't mind if food is delayed on a busy night, but Just Eat's site said "the restaurant will call you if your order is delayed". Well, a 30 minute change to the estimated time counts as a "delay" in my book. But it's the fact that they marked the order as 'delivered' that made me angry. We called them as soon as we saw it and we were told "it's on its way". Sure enough it did turn up 10 minutes later - but why lie? Just to keep the ratings up? Well it didn't work, because their lie cost them a few stars. We are trying them again, because we know things sometimes go wrong. But if they lie about delivery again, we won't bother a third time.

It took over an hour. The driver gave the order to the wrong address, which we then had to take time to get back, which we did, thank goodness. As a result the food wasn't very hot. For spending £45 you would expect better service.

Food took over an hour to arrive ( I live less than 10 minutes drive away) and was cold.

Hemos estado viniendo aquí durante muchos años como una sola familia y con amigos. El ambiente es genial y la comida es deliciosa. No nos podemos quejar! Encantador ambiente familiar! Gracias chicos!

Food was lovely but delivery time ridiculous! Ordered at 7.20 Got an expected delivery time 8.pm which changed to 8.25 but actually arrived at 8.45. Saturday night probably busy maybe rest of week not so bad. Food was very good.

Food arrived stone cold. Might have been alright if it wasn't cold.

Excellent food, friendly service

youve tried the rest now try the best. K.phlapp

Just a very average bog standard indian. Had high hopes but sadly it was a disappointment.

A lovely hidden gem in the heart of East London. The quality of food is superb, we have been here a few times and each dish is delicious. The price is very reasonable and the whole place has a great family vibe. The service is also outstanding!

This is the best curry in town, promise!

We are always on the lookout for a good Indian. This is just round the corner and is a small eat in restaurant and it also does take away.Don't be put off that it just looks a small place on a high street. It is family run, great customer service and the food is delicious.Poppadoms and spices were excellent. We both ate chicken dishes off the chef special menu for our mains and both dishes were very good. The presentation of my special chicken dish was pretty cool! Only thing we thought was average were the onion bhaji. Mongoose beer served here is very good!So happy we found this place! Best Indian we have had in the area (we live in E2/Hackney road area).

It really was very very good meal. I recommend it

quick delivery from a nice man with a smile. excellent food with a hygenic presentation

Vindaloo was lovely and spicy today the chilli heat was spot on. The chicken tikka was really tender today.
