I highly recommend Cafe Tiffin for authentic Indian cuisine. Mohib was an excellent host and talked myself and my friend the menu. This will not be my last visit.

We had Onion Bhaji, Chicken and lamb tikka masala, coconut rice, fried onion rice and garlic maad. When I tell you this is a good spot I mean is a good spot. We were just looking for a nice place to go have a meal, everyone was lovely was super cozy and delicious. Absolutely will come back as soon as I can. My only regret is we didn't ask for advice as my friends never had indian food before and we ordered 3 tikka masalas and now that I know they would be super helpful if you are not sure what you want. Next time I want to go and try plenty of different dishes. They also helped us with the amount of food etc. Worth every penny, and is not even dear.

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

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.

Nice little indian restaurant . They were kind enough to take it easy on the chillies as I've been to a few Indians and have found there food way too spicy. The lamb was cooked very well and I really enjoyed the indian style desserts.
