Battersea Rickshaw in Wandsworth

Very nice food and nice service

Food ok good value Poppadoms overpriced and didn't come with the onion salad Prawn main only contained 2 prawns Service OK not amazing Only 3 tables in there on a Saturday night all left by 9.15pm Was cold in there too not the food just cold restaurant

A pleasant experience, but so much potential to be much, much, more. There was no-one to greet, eventually got shown to a table with seating very cramped. This was quickly resolved. Service for drinks and poppadoms could have been much quicker. You can bring your own drink and pay £10 corkage. The lighting and ambience was that of a lunch/bistro venue, dinner felt out of place. The food and beer was excellent, and the staff were extremely polite, relaxed, and friendly. I would 100% get a takeaway, but needs some aesthetic improvement before a possible return.

Delicious food, beautiful restaurant and excellent service. We had poppadoms to start, which to our surprise were made fresh in house, they were served warm with chutneys - 10/10!! For main we had chicken bhuna, chicken karahi with garlic and chilli naan and mushroom rice. Extremely flavoursome!! The atmosphere was nice and relaxed for a Saturday evening - would definitely go again!

This is one of, if not the best hidden gems in London. We sit on the terrace in Battersea Square and while away the afternoon sipping ice cold beer, Delish crisp pappadoms and the tenderest of tender baby lamb curry - WOW !!! Love it and can’t wait to come back !!! Hassan the owner is a total legend, very warm welcoming and genuine guy !!!

It was okay but nothing special. Service, polite but not friendly. Food mediocre.

Great atmosphere and friendly service in a lovely square

We went as a large party to the Rickshaw for old times sake and , sadly, it is not what it was. We were a party of 10 and had booked a month ago so it's not as if they didn't expect us. The restaurant was very quiet but the food took an age to come (50 minutes) and when it did, it came in dribs and drabs leaving us to sit without rice and without side dishes until someone in the kitchen got things going. The food was passable and the atmosphere a bit sad; it has seen better days. Not cheap.

Our order included Chicken Tikka Biryani, Paneer Makhani, Butter Naan, and Lassi. The biryani was disappointingly akin to tasteless fried rice, and its sauce was spoiled. The Paneer Makhani's excessive sweetness made it resemble a dessert rather than a traditional curry, prompting us to return it. The Butter Naan, on the other hand, was similar to Tandoori Roti and was quite acceptable. I generally don’t leave negative reviews, but after our experience, I cannot recommend this place.

Fabulous dog friendly restaurant. Great ambiance and the food was delicious (prawn puri, lamb vindaloo, peshwari naan with cobra beer). Great music in the background creating a truly chilled south Asian feel.

Food speaks for itself best I’ve had in a while

I can’t fault this curry house, it’s the best I have ever had and I’ve been to some amazing places including one that has a. Michelin star, Rickshaw knocks than all out of the park. The owner is super friendly who can help with suggestions, how hot 🌶️ you like your curry and just a super nice guy. High quality and very reasonably priced. 24 hours later and we are still talking about how amazing it was. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, it’s 150% give it a try wether dine in or take out.

Very good local Indian situated in Battersea Square. This restaurant does a very good chicken naga curry. If you like spicy.

The Service in The Richshaw is the best I have experienced in any restaurant, the owner Hassan is extremely accommodating and friendly. The food here is the unbelievable!!! Plus incredibly reasonably. I go here bi-weekly and have never not had a 10/10 experience!!!

The atmosphere is incredible. The food is unbelievable. Hassan always provides us with great service and perfect spice. Great spot for families and friends.

After having visited Rickshaw 4 times, I can no longer contain my love for this restaurant. First and foremost, the food is INCREDIBLE. Every time I have visited, the owner Hassan has given incredible recommendations and never let us down. He creates a fantastic atmosphere and provides first class service. Secondly, the value for money is brilliant - pints literally cost FIVE POUNDS which is a rare phenomenon in London. The restaurant is located in Battersea square and I couldn’t think of a more picturesque place to spend a chilled summers evening. If you’re unsure whether to pay this restaurant a visit, do yourself a favour and give it a go. You won’t regret it and you may well find your new favourite restaurant. I certainly have!

We visited on New Year’s eve. To our surprise, the place was almost empty. Food was quite average taste, unfortunately lacked salt and/or any spices. Lamb was undercooked per our taste, although the manager was super understanding, he gave us discounts on the total bill upon receiving feedback.

Really affordable and great curries

Haven’t had such bad food in a restaurant for a while. The dal makhani was oversalty boiled lentils, the ‘veg karahi’ was mainly potatoes and onions with 2 small squares of green pepper. The chapati was actually roti. They did replace the lentils when we complained but it could not make up for the bad food unfortunately. It was all bland and tasteless. The waiter/owner was however nice and his service was good. But it was a wasted £120 for us.

The food is quite average. Service was subpar. The spices aren’t Indian nor the taste.

Superb atmosphere. Delicious food. Wonderful ambience. Excellent service.

Delicious food, excellent service mouthwatering dishes Friendly atmosphere

Amazing food and incredible waiters and waitresses. Definitely worth a visit

Absolutely delicious!!!! Great service and outstanding food!!!

Went for the first time yesterday evening. The staff were lovely. Attentive without being intrusive to our meal. Tge food was excellent. And the restaurant is in a great location in Battersea square. We hadn't finished all our food, and they offered to box it up. My wife mentioned that it was mainly sauce and the waiter offered yo put some more chicken in for us before we took it away. We politely declined as we were so full, but great service. I'd recommend chicken karachi.

This Indian restaurant is an absolute gem. Tucked away in Battersea, it appears unassuming from the front but it stands head and shoulders above most restaurants in the area. The service was incredible from start to finish and the food is excellent, with plenty of choices for all. I cannot recommend enough.

Hassan gave us amazing service which is such a rarity, and then it turns out the food was amazing! Will be back - thank you!

Wonderful food. Absolutely delicious. Driven past for years. Finally stopped and it was worth the wait. Highly recommend.

Great little gem in Battersea square. Had dinner tonight in the square. Friendly staff, excellent food, open late. Highly recommend!

Excellent and friendly staffs, food are delicious and worth with the price Highly recommended

Such a lovely dinner i took away , good service and awesome food!

Nice decor, extremely quite. We really enjoyed our meal, although I wouldn’t say it’s the best Indian I’ve had.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was delicious (particularly recommend the onion bhajis and the veggie samosa) and the service was lovely. Would highly recommend. Only slight downside was that we felt our plates were taken away very quickly!

Everything we ate was amazing highly recommended. Plus everyone was very friendly and willing to help with dietary needs

Friend recommended this place and it really delivered

An excellent early evening family restaurant but also good for later evening casual dining.

really good value for money and delicious fresh food. Will definitely be back!

What wonderful service very baby friendly. The lamb was delicious but it was the kindness and friendliness of the staff and the attention to the baby's comfort that was outstanding. Enjoyable evening out

Won't find better, anywhere , friendly, tasty. Thanks team .

Delicious food and great service. Everything we ordered was really good.

Great service and amazing meal! Will definitely come back when next time in the area :)

They kindly accommodated my large group of friends last minute and we had the best meal! The food was so lovely and the service was amazing. I was actually glad the other restaurant cancelled in the end!

Absolutely delicious! We came here last night for the first time and it won't be the last. Each dish was so tasty and there were some different things to try. Really enjoyed our meal, thank you!

I am pleased that the rickshaw reopened. They continue to serve original dishes which are slightly different to what you would find in nearby curry houses. The flavours are not as bold/intense as when they first arrived on the square - the beetroot lamb has become quite a gentle dish - but the food is still delicious. Their staff, especially Nikita, are very friendly.

Really good and interesting food. Nice casual room so not your typical restaurant dining feel. Service was fast and we were given great explanations of the menu and suggestions to match our tastes.

Had a great meal there. People there are lovely. Made very welcome. Rare day off and I spent three hours there today very chilled. Thanks guys.

Excellent its back under same management as before . Food is first class as is service welcome back . Great Indian 👍

Stunning. Food is fantastic. Lovely people. Hassan, thank you for your recommendation... Amazing

Best Indian meal I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. Wonderful staff too. Highly recommend…

Enjoyed the food and service. Reasonably priced with a good mix of usual food offering and other dishes. The only downside is the loudness of the music that was playing during some of our visit there. Some of the decor wasn't exactly what you might expect from a traditional Indian takeaway, but generally we enjoyed our time there

Had one of the best meal outside Mumbai. I could not expected for a better curry. The Nan bread was second to none. The lamb was delicious - very fresh. The chicken curry- divine. I am ought to congratulate the chef. This is the place where I will dine once a week plus delivery. Congratulation for the lovely meal.

Delicious deliciousness. Great food (and suitable for children). Very friendly and great cocktails. Had the Jamaican mule - was fab!

Really lovely friendly place to eat. Food is excellent and so are the staff. Bit of banter and some laughs. Highly recommend.

Excellent North Indian food. Meat was cooked perfectly, amazing spices... 100% recommend! Cobra on tap and a fair price which is lovely. Best curry by a mile in Battersea/Clapham.

This little gem in Battersea Square offers phenomenal North Indian dishes. Right spices and wonderful curry blends. Chicken korma in any Curry restaurant would be very sweet, in here it's just right! The Saag Ghosht is made to perfection. Even the pilu rice, it's so good that it could be eaten on its own! Highly recommended! Not the cheapest but worth the price !

Back to the old days of the Battersea Rickshaw. Fantastic food again. Recommend to work through the starters with a few beers in the first instance

Ordered the BG breakfast which was very filling. The food was ok, it came very quickly. Good value for money. It would have been nice to be offered a choice on the type of bread I wanted for my toast.

Tuvimos para llevar de Battersea rickshaw última noche y fue realmente deliciosos. Verdaderamente excepcional india - solemos ir a Santo vaca en Battersea Park Rd, pero esta grub era en realidad más delicioso. Tuve pollo en salsa cremosa de tomates - no recuerdo el nombre, lo siento, y mi marido tenía cordero - tanto sabor casero, fresca y complejo, como las especias había sido baja y las hierbas rellenos que muy tarde. También tuve un plato de acompañamiento de berenjenas que era igual de bueno. El poco único que nos decepcionó un poco eran la Peshwari naans - que eran un poco más difícil de lo que personalmente me gusta - podría haber sido fluffier towels, pero en general una gran comida para llevar. Gracias Battersea rickshaw! Volveremos muy pronto :)

Truly inspired and excellently prepared curry in battersea Square. My family all demand to go there at every opportunity. Enough said!

The menu looked so tempting. Then we were served with microwaved waffles, weak coffee and greasy bacon and eggs. Disappointing breakfast.

Best Indian in London. Quirky gourmet Indian. Worth the trip.

Visité aquí el 6 de mayo con mi esposa para una comida. Tengo que decir que la decoración y el entorno son fabulosas. acabados muy modernos y elegantes. Incluso los menús entregados a eran de la mejor calidad. Las bebidas que pedimos también eran muy bonitas. Tuve un dulce lassi, que era muy sabroso y mi esposa tenía una limonada que no era plana.

Unfortunately we had food poisoning so although I had heard wonderful things about this restaurant it was tainted by the memory of the meal we had.

Good food, nice environment and helpful service - overall, a very pleasant dinner. Relaxed atmosphere; no problem visiting with small children.

Just about the best Indian Restaurant in London. The beetroot lamb is sensational

El rickshaw es un restaurante un poco más estadounidense y experimental indio. Nos fuimos el viernes por la noche y estaba lleno. La decoración es tradicional indio pero de nuevo un poco más elegante.

Lovely setting in Battersea Square, however I felt that Battersea Rickshaw is a little over priced for what it is and they don't like people going there just for drinks - there is a 'secret' £10 minimum spend on cards. There are better curry houses in the area if you are looking for great food, however if you want an nice atmosphere the square is lovely

Acabábamos de llegar a Reino Unido y estaban muriendo por una buena comida India ... No lo hicimos aquí! Es muy caro y odio a decir, pero yo ser no-Indian haría mejor indio de un paquete, ahora que es lo malo que era! debería haber dado cuenta de que no estaba muy bien por la falta de clientes, pero nos tomamos como un problema temprano comedor ... no lo es. Vaya por la carretera a Banyan en el Támesis para algunos propiamente dicho Indian!!

Una experiencia mixta. La zona del bar es una buena característica cuando reunión con los amigos. Las chuletas de cordero plato era genial. Los platos principales fueron inusual eg cordero con remolachas, pero las verduras todo sabía igual y eran demasiado basados en tomate. Tampoco nos parece muy flexible por ejemplo no podíamos haber gosht hendidura sin las setas normales. En general, la comida no era caliente, pero las porciones eran grandes. Los tres vinos más baratos en el menú no estaban disponibles y bajo presión nos dieron 2 libras más cara en una botella. De hecho mi esposa se describe el lugar como "dinero agarrando' eg parecía reacio a servir agua del grifo. según los comentarios anteriores también era un poco muerta por la noche del sábado. Además creo que £95 por pareja con el grupo tener unas copas de Prosecco, una botella de vino y 6 o 7 las cobras era muy caro. debe haber mejores lugares por su relación calidad-precio de la zona.

El agradable y cálido lugar en una plaza con fuera cubierto para cuando el clima se calienta. servicio muy atento sin ser demasiado intrusivo. Estaba medio lleno de felices clientes pero le faltaba ambiente tan conversaciones eran un poco murmullos. La comida era deliciosa especialmente el pato samosas; servido en buen tiempo y caliente. Los precios estaban por encima de la media, pero merece la pena. noche romántica fuera

On a Saturday night no more than 3 tables of about 20 were occupied at any one time. This was a little surprising as the food was very good, although maybe a little pricey. The service was efficient and pleasant enough, although obviously the staff were hardly stretched. The location is excellent (in Battersea context) and the restaurant room is good enough. So why so few locals? We saw no evidence of a roaring takeaway trade either. Maybe they went through a bad patch and the locals deserted them. One does feel however that if the management could by some marketing/pricing initiative get people back in, there might be a much needed momentum to turn this round. If we are representative of their potential market, they do have a big problem, but one which can be overcome. We would not go back here now simply on the basis that we do not enjoy eating in an empty restaurant, especially on a Saturday night. For the same reason we have to warn others if they feel similarly. If however we knew that the place would be populated with a few more fellow diners, we would be happy to return for the food, even at the prices we paid, and recommend others to do so. Just a thought.

Excellent Indian restaurant, spacious modern decor in a nooky part of Battersea. All the classic dishes were served with great flavour and not too much spicy heat. Their breads were superb and their stuffed Peshwari naan was the best I have ever had.

In sunny weather you can sit outside in the square which is really pleasant or inside is modern decor. Good choice of food on the menu. They also serve a good selection of wine and cocktails. Not cheap, but not overpriced. Would definitely recommend for good quality Indian food.

This used to be a lovely restaurant, lots of choice etc, then about 5 or so years ago they decided to 'do it up' and change the menu. Ok, fair enough, however the menu became very limited and it hasn't changed since. We thought we'd try it again as it was a nice evening and you can sit outside. We went past and saw they had a bbq on the go. We asked if in fact they were doing a bbq and they said yes. LIARS!!! We ordered our food FROM the bbq menu but there was absolutely nothing going on on the bbq. We were puzzled, the restaurant was basically empty. Anyway our food arrived, how was this bbqed? It was not impressive to look at, in fact it was really 'scrawny' we sat and waited, and waited, and waited for our sides, no sign of them. We asked where they were and were told that they had a lot of takeaways!!!! SORRY, I have thought people sat in a restaurant with half their food would have taken priority? I now know why this restaurant was empty, it deserves to be. NO apology, no drink on the house and it certainly isn't cheap. I think the only way this restaurant gets any custom is the fact that it is the only one in the area. There is an empty restaurant just opposite I pray that someone opens a decent Indian restaurant to show Battersea Rickshaw what service, food and looking after the customer is all about. Seriously, don't bother!

As close to daylight robbery as I have ever come. I would have been happier being mugged for the following reasons:Both of us were ill this morning.1). Pay £3.50 for poppadoms - when we were half way through these the starter was brought and they took the poppadoms away. You never have to pay for poppadoms (even in London).2). My chicken Tikka bbq starter - charged at the price of £6.95, contained 3 cubes of chicken. Price of chicken and spices cannot be more than £1 at wholesale prices - markup = >600%. This is unacceptable even in London.3). Chefs special BBQ Asian meat. I assume this was a poussin or maybe partridge (it could have been rat). Either way there was barely any meat on it and for £8.95 I expected something that might have some substance.4). Cobra beer - £5.90 for a big bottle. This had been bought wholesale and was near its sell-by date end.5). The service were surly and seemed inconvenienced. When it came to pay I had to work the card machine myself for both payments because they left the machine on the table and went off to who knows where.

Service was great. In a lovely location and great atmosphere. I ate with four others and we all said we have had better. But the value is very good for London.

Interior decor is relaxing and makes you feel immediately comfortable, not bollywood and not too OTT either.Food selection is very good, but slightly over priced for what it is, having said that, we were in Battersea near the river so a little extra cost is somewhate expected.Good wine selection and service was swift and attentive, even though I had to repeat myself a few times but when we finally started understanding each other (the waiter and I) the service was above average.Will be returning here for sure, well worth the visit for general or special occasions as it has a large dining area which looks as it can cater for parties up to around 50 separately from one half of the restaurant too!Food by the way, was excellent and very tasty.

We had a very nice meal here and the price reasonable as well - nice interior.

This was our second visit as guests, this time to celebrate our recent wedding and meet with family, we had a great evening and the food was outstanding ! Would highly recommend this exclusive Indian restaurant to anyone visiting London.
