Cafe Tiffin in Islington

If recommend this to anyone, really good flavours and very reasonable prices

The best curry I have EVER eaten! The staff were so attentive and helped me pick a curry based on what I said I enjoy. Special mention to Aisha who was so friendly and kind. We will absolutely be back. Our favourite spot for homemade Indian cuisine in London. You must visit! 😃😃

It was such a pleasure discovering this place! The restaurant is small and cozy, and the food really good. We had some classics but they didin't disappoint at all. Our waiter, Kobe, helped us getting through the menu and deciding what to get. Hope to come back to London and to Cafe Tiffin, as well!

The most comfortable restaurant Lovely food and staff Will be back regularly

Delicious, fresh food, recommend the Hariyali if you can take spice! Friendly service and good value for money

Such delicious food! Lovely food and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!!!

Me and my sister had a wonderful experience, the staff were very welcoming and accommodating, and Aisha is lovely!

Aisha was the best!!! She was so helpful with food recommendations and was very nice!! This place was fantastic, super cute and cozy and everyone here is so welcoming and sweet! 10/10 recommend coming here!

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the warmth of welcome. Definitely will return.

Will always come back when in London! So cozy and such a great service

Excellent food and a hidden gem

Went twice during a business trip. The meals were terrific, and the service could not have been more warm and welcoming. Regulars and newcomers were all greeted like old friends. It felt like coming home.

Very personal little restaurant with refined food.

Delicious Indian food in Clerkenwell - super friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere!

Yummy! Got the ghost thing and it was fantastic

Great local little restaurant serving straightforward but delicious food

Fantastic food and great people, I could not ask for more! Great to find such a nice place close to my hotel.

Curry was so watery as was the dal. The cauliflower side dish I got was two pieces of mushy cauliflower and the rest potatoes. Very disappointed as other reviews seemed good

Absolutely delicious! 🤤 Fantastic atmosphere and perfect service; friendly, attentive, helpful, funny. Fantastic little Indian restaurant and can’t wait to come back! Oh, and BYOB! What more do you want!

Lovely remodeled space, and excellent food. My server, Tunu, was awesome. Super nice and made great food recommendations!

Unbelievable food, incredibly accommodating for allergies and gluten intolerances. Staff wonderful and hilarious and went out of their way to make sure I had a Diet Coke when they didn’t have any in and will even get you gluten-free naan bread from their sister restaurant if you call ahead! Just a lovely experience and we will be back shortly!! Special shout out to Aisha for looking after us so well ☺️

A really lovely meal - thanks so much!

Ordered last night had the Lamb Rogan josh which was nice and no complaints there. The issue i had was i ordered poppadoms and i only received a one which was broken up in a bag. One poppadom is ridiculous when it comes with three dips and it did put me off ordering again as usually poppadoms are free and the fact i paid and received one is not a good look

One of the best Indian spots I’ve been to in the UK. Exceptional food, right level of spice, everything cooked fresh & you can tell by the quality.

My friend who lives nearby recommended this restaurant and I'm very happy to have tried it. Friendly staff, quick service, delicious good and nice, cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Turned up just as they were closing, but we were still given a table. The food was excellent, especially the garlic chilli and Bangla roast chicken curries, and the staff were attentive and a good laugh. It's unlicensed, but you can bring your own alcohol.

Incredible decor, Incredible service, Incredible vibes. Shoutout to Kobir, for the great experience.

Delicious food and great value. Aisha was a lovely server too!

Delicious meal, brilliant service and relaxed atmosphere

My partner and I visited London for the weekend and had an incredible meal in Cafe Tiffin — Aisha was a wonderful host, the food was delicious and the place had such a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area, highly recommend!

Delicious food, and good atmosphere! Aisha was super welcoming and friendly, I’ll be back! BYOB too!

So delicious! My fave in London

Fantastic food, amazing service, great night

Perfect as always! staff is super welcoming and the food is incredibly good

Lovely staff, very attentive, food was delicious and very good value

Excellent, local family run restaurant. Would highly recommend!

The atmosphere and service was phenomenal! Aisha was so sweet and very helpful with food recommendations.

Had an amazing meal here! Excellent service, food, and atmosphere!

everything we had was delicious, iysha our waitress was very kind

Wonderful place! An absolute gem!

Really enjoyed my dinner here. So friendly staff in this small cozy but excellent restaurant.

Very happy to see Cafe Tiffin is open again after being closed for refurbishment. The food and service were excellent as usual, and the new look is cosy and exotic and more spacious than before. Welcome back, we will visit often!

Got delivery, very quick and easy 🔥🔥 super yummy and affordable! Will be coming soon with friends to eat in.

Delicious food with attentive & great service. Lovely interior design. Try the fried okra!

I’m obviously in the minority here thinking that since this place reopened, the prices have increased alarmingly and the quality & portion size has become miserable. I’m still retching from a £14.00 ‘chicken tikka masala’ that hadn’t been introduced to the meaning of tikka but was just a sad little chicken breast in a soup of tomato ketchup and about a kilo of desiccated coconut, it was inedible. The returned offering wasn’t much better but at least didn’t taste like a Bounty in ketchup. I thought all of our food was bland and disappointing and a premium is added for the BYO concept, albeit still cheaper than a wine list. A typical example of how London restaurants are now overcharging for poor food and a sad ending to happy years of coming here. Next.

Amazing food, and impeccable service, the staff here is so lovely. The atmosphere is super cozy, warm, and inviting. Love this place. 10/10 would recommend.

The team is very friendly and the food excellent. We loved this small place🫶🏼.

My friend and I came in for an early dinner and we were not disappointed! I had heard that Indian food in London was a must-try so we set out to try one and this is the place. Aisha took such great care of us throughout our meal and was attentive and made great suggestions. We had the garlic naan (we ordered more!), butter chicken, chicken biryani, and the king prawn poori. It was all AMAZING!

We love this place! Have been here many times over the years and the food is great and the staff really friendly and attentive. A special shout out to our lovely waitress Aisha :)

Es genial tener Café Tiffin de vuelta después de su renovación. La comida era excelente, como lo era en el pasado. El mismo chef, supongo. Ciertamente el mismo estilo. Los platos que habíamos ido de "muy sabroso" a "realmente sabroso". ¡Espero que sea de ayuda!

I ordered the Badami Saag Gosht, the food was really good and we had a nice service

Quite possibly the best Indian in Clerkenwell (The Tamil Crown comes close though!). We had a fantastic night here. Super welcoming team, cozy vibe, recently redecorated. BYOB with complimentary corkage which is a nice touch.

Second visit to this great little gem. Delicious food in good portions at reasonable prices - and lovely, attentive staff. 5*!

Really good curry, lots of flavour, well made dishes and reliable service.

Lovely restaurant and really friendly service, great deal with BYOB and lots of gluten free options!

Food is great and servers are very kind!

Kobir and Mohib’s restaurant is THE best Indian restaurant in London bar none. All the staff are super friendly. Aisha is brilliant as well.

Great place to enjoy authentic Indian/Bangladeshi food.

Thank you for your usual 5star food and service

Great curry, great service and favourite for any visit to Clerkenwell.

Wow hidden gem in the heart of Clerkenwell - beautifully designed new look - and Tony is the host with the most - yummy Indian food

Amazing place, Aisha is a great Host! We had a wonderful time.

Friendly staff , good atmosphere and amazing food. Highly recommend, especially the signature B Deshi meal!

Love this place, Aisha was beautiful & so sweet, the best service

Me gustó la comida en el café tiffin cuando se abrió, pero ay con el tiempo la calidad de la comida que pensé que se estaba escapando ... mi última comida pollo al curry con espinacas, que sonaba divino, en realidad me dio un mal estómago. De cada 10 por esa comida, daría un 1. No estoy seguro si tuvieron un mal chef ese día,

Some of the best curries in London hands down. We have a curry club who have met once a month for years and we have to say this is definitely up there. The chefs special and the lamb gosht was incredible. We are definitely coming back here again. The naan is so soft, light and fresh. Staff are so nice and helpful.

Really friendly staff and amazing food! Always great!

Gran comida y un servicio muy amable y eficiente. Encantador ambiente relajante. Muy limpio. Lugar perfecto para conocer amigos.

Café Tiffin has reopened and has a smart new interior. The meal was excellent and the service very friendly and welcoming. Thanks!

Unreal as always. Aisha and the team provided a lovely experience and amazing traditional Indian food. I recommend Cafe Tiffin to everyone who comes to London or is in the area.

The food is great and the staff is really nice!!! Amazing place!

This is my favourite restaurant in London. The food is absolutely incredible and the service is always so so kind. The new refurb makes the space even cosier. Special shout out to Ayesha who was our amazing server!

Always fantastic. We come here as a family and we always love it x

So happy Tiffin is open again enjoyed a great curry there tonight, great atmosphere, friendly service!

Always on point! Great to see you guys back open

Never been before but so happy to have come here. Super friendly service, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. We don’t live close by, but will definitely aim to come back. Thank you! J.

Best indian food in London. Amazing service by Aisha and extremely friendly and welcoming front of house. Lamb chops are a must try. All the dishes I have tried were fantastic. Excellent!

Excellent service provided by Aisha and the Boss. From the moment we walked in, Aisha greeted us with a warm smile and ensured we felt welcome throughout the evening. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always nearby without being intrusive.

Amazing service and food defo coming back

I recently dined at Cafe tiffin, a cozy Indian restaurant, and was blown away by the vibrant flavors and authenticity of the dishes. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, complemented perfectly by freshly baked garlic naan. With warm hospitality and a delightful ambiance, it’s a must-visit for anyone craving Indian cuisine. Aisha was splendid and made sure we had a great time!

We loved our food! Always delicious food here and the staff are so friendly! Great service! Special shout out to Tunur and Aisha !!!

Amazing, Tunur, Anshan, amazing 🤩 So happy to be back at Tiffin Jewel in the Crown of EC1

Amazing restaurant with stunning atmosphere. We were served by best waitress Aisha. 🤗

Amazing atmosphere, outstanding food and the kindest possible service imaginable (Aisha made us feel so welcome)! Cannot wait to return back soon!

Such tasty and satisfying food

Food was amazing and servers were so nice !!!

A very warm welcome , fantastic staff and delicious food Thank you Cafe Tiffin

It’s back! First night reopen and the new interior is really well done. Lovely new lights. Service v good, and despite being the first night after a long refurbishment the kitchen is on form: food as tasty as it ever was. So happy they’re back. No alcohol served so the focus is on the food. (BYOB).

Portions are small but flavor is good, pls try the Falooda as it's the best I've had in London so far

I have used Cafe Tiffin a very long time ago and I remember it was really good food . So I ordered today and the food was excellent , delivered slightly ahead of time and I will definitely order from them again and highly recommend their food to others .

Solo pedido vía Deliveroo. La comida era sosa y extremadamente caro - £ 14. 95 para un curry de langostino rey que sabía como una salsa de supermercado! La salsa de menta parecía radiactiva. He tenido mucho mejor por mucho menos. La parrilla Bhuna consistía en alitas de pollo en una salsa espesa, tan empapada con kebab de cordero barato. Muy decepcionante.

Lovely food. Habid - Tikka Masala for us on our next order as per our telecom. Thanks

Amazing food, and great service. 10/10. The delivery driver was still smiling and positive even though it was raining, so I’m very happy to order again.

Nice food, and I liked the delivery service. That’s all I want from deliveries. 👍

Quality of food was very poor. Very unprofessional presentation and cold food.

Not impressed with the vindaloo. Chicken had a nasty taste and the sauce was swimming in oil. I don’t mind a bit of oil but this was way too much. Cafe tiffin is either amazing or very poor quality. Disappointed again, as a regular customer I’m not sure I’ll be coming back ☹️

As always, 10/10. Amazing communication and above all, amazing food. Delicious, perfectly cooked and generous portions.

This is one of my favourite curry houses in london. The paneer biryani was so good. I think about it at least weekly. My friends love the chicken curries as well.

Very friendly in-house and their deliveries are quick and friendly too. Just had a really nice lamb dansak and tandoori roti that hit the spot. If you are eating in, take alcoholic drinks with you (there is a shop nearby if you forget!)

Made a booking but when we turned up it was closed despite them not notifying us. What a rubbish name for an Indian😔
