Chatkhara in Wandsworth

The most disgusting food I ever eat in my life

I ordered food from chatkhara through uber eats. I have ordered from them before. Sometimes bad food, sometimes good food. But this time it was shocking. I ordered lamb biryani and tarka dhall. Iam 100% certain the lamb biryani was picked out of the bin, i.e Somebodys leftover food, and they then gave it to.me.!! The food stunk of mould and bacteria. It stunk of vomit. Now, usually when food has been in the bin for sometime it smells like this. After taking the first 2 bites , i immediately felt sick and had to vomit it out ! The smell was overwhelming. On closer inspection i see that the lemon piece in the biryani had already been squeezed by someone as it had finger prints on it, and was flat . and the meat pieces were dark and old as if meat from a dead animal. One of the meat piece had mould growing on it. So there is no question in my mind that this biryani was in the bin, and they picked it out and gave it to me, because i dont think they are dumb enough to keep such food in the fridge. Unless iam wrong and they do do that ? The tarka dhall looked very gooey and dark. After tasting a bit of it , that too smelled and tasted very bad. As if full of bacteria and " gone off". Both of the dishes went in the bin. And my bank holiday weekend treat ruined by this disgusting unhealthy chatkhara restaurant. I believe chatkhara restaurant did this deliberatly and intentionally gave me bad food, perhaps after seeing my profile picture on uber eats ?? Who knows. I took videos and pictures of everything and passed it on to uber eats. But uber eats only gave me half the refund, which Is ridiculous. I threw all the food In the bin, so why they dont give me a full refund ? Why keep some of my money ?? Doesnt make sense. Now iam thinking of reporting chatkhara to health and safety. As they cannot get away with trying to deliberatly poison people like this. And maybe also report uber eats to thier relevant governing body for keeping peoples money for no reason. I would not recommend chatkhara to anyone, unless you want to fall ill after eating thier food. And want to out food from the bin inside your body, full of vomit smell, bacteria and mould.

I always order food from here every week, especially the saag aloo, bhindi, chana and daal. Food is excellent quality and very good portion size, always come fresh and hot. Naan is also made fresh. Very good value and friendly staff. My favourite place to order and is it the best food in Tooting, much better than other restaurant as it is authentic home style cooking.

Always order vegatable curry dishes from here on delivery and have never been disappointed. I usually get saag aloo, gobi aloo, chana masala and bhindi bhaji and it's always great. The dishes are also very affordable. I paid £6 per dish on delivery and £1 for a butter naan. The portion sizes are also very generous. I would recommend this place for good, no frills curry that is great value for money and full of flavour.

We popped in for some food at night, got a chicken curry & lamb curry - they were both delicious! Paired with fresh naan, rice + coke, we only paid £19 eating in. We enjoyed the service and the food, definitely worth checking them out!

Amazing food and lovely staff 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Food is absolutely delicious and portions are large. Definitely value for money.

Delivery driver behaviour was good

Don't buy kabli plao and mutton from a restaurant I ordered Kabli pulao and mutton. My friend went to them on a special New Year's night.So I felt very ashamed in front of my friends.I just wasted my money

Merry Christmas, more like Merry poo my guts out on the street and cry for 4 hours.

1st time ordering ..amazing ..super flavour super portion..keep it up

The order received was incorrect and was missing items. Really disappointed.

The chicken wings are dead. Much improving needing!

did not have the free rubicon , food fatty. and also fish was not cod , most likely basa

Restaurant collected the order before I go to the restaurant so I didn't recieve my food

the driver dedicated to go for gas station and result food is cold .

bread was a bit grease and the lamb with spinach not nice at all.

Great food, quick service, and friendly staff

The food was so salty it went into the bin

Great prices, good service, okay atmosphere. You get what you pay for! The chicken biryani is only £4.50.

Always ask for my curry extra spicy with a side of naan bread 👌 Also the chicken roll at the end of the night is amaz

Always great food. Local favourite

Great saag ghost - and always great value

The Keema nan was dry with keema falling out. Not worth the money. Came with no dip nothing. Just dry naan bread with dry keema falling out of it. The delivery driver couldn’t find the address. Very poor quality and service overall.

I ordered chicken tikka masala but delivered another chicken curry.

Very bad service and very bad customer service…… never recommend to anyone….

the food was amazing but I have orderd drink with that which never came.

Love the saag ghost - great value & v tasty

Very bad experience especially the staff this is second time we had bad experience the male staff was rude guys if u want good service plz don’t visit this restaurant

Just had an absolutely delicious lamb byriani with curry sauce. Will be back

Ordered a whole chicken, got one piece.

usually amazing and go here all the time for late night food. ordered £30 worth of take out tonight and got home to found a hair in the dhal and cardboard in one of the pakora. very disappointing, waste of money and went to bed hungry

I orderd chucked biryani for takeaway so I came home and I opened it there was smelly chicken inside and rice it’s really disgusting 🤮

Good food at a good price. Go here to eat if you like curry

Ate here twice. Both times food was disappointing and wasn't fresh. Chicken was hard and dry.

I ordered last night some rice, Tarkha Dhall and some lamb shank thing in oil with garlic and onion. The lamb shank dish (its on the bone in this kind of red oil sauce) was one of the best meals i’ve ever had - eating it with bread was genuinely an incredible culinary experience. It costs £8, but honestly? Get it with a Chapati and you will love it. It changed my life. I wish i knew what it was called. The Tarka Dhal was a good example of a Tarka Dhal, but nothing out of this world like that lamb shank dish. The rice was just rice.

Saag ghost & tandoori chicken - tasty and great value 👍🏽

The shop was really really dirty

Fantastic food! Very lickin tasty!

God it’s most dirty and unhygienic restaurant on the planet I am so surprised it’s still in the business I have rats video in my phone , as they running all over including toilets etc but don’t like to post or did not report to authorities Be careful before eat anything

Affordable prices and good range

Almost great value and delicious food!

Been going here for many years, usually on my way home after a night out. It's a no frills cafeteria style place, cheap and quick. I love their chicken balti. Samosas and onion bhajis are good too and during covid I missed their chicken tikka rolls so much I recreated them at home. When I eat in sometimes they bring a free side salad, sometimes not!

Ordered chicken kebab, the chicken was hard and rubbery. Which, made me realise the guy serving me went in the back and brought back a plate of chicken. Which was probably old and he had microwaved before adding it to my nan with salad. Won't be buying from there again.

Over priced £6.49 for very small portion of dahi bhalla

Had to add salt to Lamb Karahi, butter Nan was hard thin and not buttery at all. Poppadum came crushed up in the bag. Not good at all!!!

uk immigration,enforcement service or home office please visit this shop 4pm to 11pm lots of illegal people work in this shop. When i was going there to have some food i talk with one of the staff there. he is indian and he told me he's paying salary is £6 par hours , and it's fully cash in hand.

It is never open in the mornings. I'm here waiting 30 minutes, it's 10:30 and it's not open yet. There is no one in the store.It is completely closed.

lovely masala fish and fantastic keema and aloo fresh and tasty

This is a nice cosy restaurant. I've been here thrice, and the food has been good, hot and served in ten minutes each time. I've been here for lunchtime or afternoon, so it's been quiet. The people serving have been polite. Food is tasty at a reasonable price in this area (inflation is just unbelievable right now). I had the biryani and the chapli kabab, really satisfying. I recommend this restaurant 😊

Loved their samasa chaat, dahi baala, kashmiri chai and orange juice...so kinda hosts...thank u so much

Very nice food, reasonable prices. Staff were pleasant. We would definitely eat there again if in tge area.

Excellent food, personalised service and a warm welcoming atmosphere

The food has no quality and very bad taste don’t waste your money here I just wasted my £20 for my breakfast

keema aloo was lovely as always

Chatkhara restaurant is very famouse restaurant in tooting London its Halal and their food is awesome special Biryani and mater qeema and most improtant their rates are very reasonable.

Come here usually late evening after gym and food is still fresh and tasting well, vindaloo was v good, prices are good and closing and opening times convenient.

Good, tastefull, affoardable Indian food for people on a budget.They could do with a interior design makeover though.

Wrong rice delivered, the portion of chips was ridiculously small! Chicken tikka masala did not taste good. The jalfrezi was nice and onion bhajis too. As a whole, I was disappointed.

Worst restaurant ever. Rude behaviour 😡😡😡

Didnt get food but said delivered

Items missing, The food was horrible. Dried chicken pieces, too salty and very oily. The saga loo was awful. I will never eat there again... so disappointed! a waste of £40

After over two hours of waiting the food said it had been delivered yet it had not. Absolute joke.

The price was exceptional, and there was delicious food in the area.

This order was for delivery and the food was not received after this was discussed with JUST EAT no refund was received and was forced to dispute the payment through the bank ... a really bad experience with the restaurant and with JUST EAT .... food delivery companies like this take advantage of the fact our money comes to them electronically - and we'll be closing the account

Not used to this level of food from this place have eaten here before several times over the years, the rice was smelly and the curry was not great a real disappointment this time

If you like Indian food and want value for money this place is an essential. Superb range of tasty recipes at unbelievably good price. Cross between a café and takeaway. Great place for no frills eating. Staff are friendly and helpful so unless you are playing 'Special posh date night" games go to Chatkhara

Great value for money. Good food great service.

First and last time I visit this place. Awful service. Diabolical food. Iv lived in Tooting for 20 years and have sampled most of the wonderful curries on offer but I thought I’d pop into this take away and was met with the most rudest disinterested staff. Reluctance to answer any questions about the curries. Very cold and unfriendly. I almost felt like an inmate in a prison cafeteria the way I was treated. I chose a curry blindly as these guys offered no assurance or help in choosing the right one. Once I paid I said thank you… nothing. I had to say thank you again and all I got in return was a grunt. To make matters worse… the curry turned out to be the worst tasting curry Iv ever had. I tasted it and was knocked back by how off it tasted. Watery consistency with undercooked lamb. Worst curry Iv had hands down. Which is shocking considering how many Iv had in my life. Extremely disappointed. It’s far too competitive a trade round these here parts for this level of service. Won’t be seeing me again. 😒

The driver very nice man I appreciated

Benn going there since the 90s never disappointed. Really good food plenty to choose from. It’s not your well decorated interior it’s simple but to the point. Love ❤️it It’s not like these other fancy restaurants where you pay extra for decor chatkhara is simple and delicious.

Worst naan from this restaurant don't know what flour they are using but naan is yellow and like cardboard

Not what I expected, to oily to start with. It did not look or taste anything like a chicken korma or a lamb madras. I got 2 plain nans but I asked for one and a roti. The samosa tasted stale and the onion Baji was stodgy. I could only eat a small portion of it so the rest is gone to waste.

Kebab roll is juicy love the flavour. Proper big home made samosa and they have Biryani dish etc the naan is good I like the food. The seating is bit cramped but it's cheap and cheerful.

Curry leaked otherwise all was fine.

I’ve been getting food from this restaurant for over a decade and it’s always super tasty. I’d recommend it to anyone.. Enjoy!

No problem with delivery but one item was missing & 10 days later I am still waiting for a £7 refund. How come items are missing anyway? No excuse about refund being so late. Not impressed.

Delicious food with very good customer services

Very friendly and good place to eat but small shop

They didn't deliver my order in full,but was fine

Good quality food. Butter chicken was not butter chicken. A mild curry that came with whole green chillies and coriander mixed in? Garlic naan was burnt and tasted of nothing. Overall you get what you pay for but will be ordering from elsewhere.

I have been eating here for 18 years intermittently. Never fails to deliver the goods. Get a lamb biryani and you won't need any friends. Bloody gorgeous x

This was a first and the service was great the food turned up warm , the meal was freash full of flavour & I will be returning some time soon.

Seekh kebabs (2 pieces) very small in size bit disappointed. Nicely packed and hot.

Very small and few pieces of chicken. Triple the amount of potatoes to the chicken, so it was more of a potato vindaloo than chicken. It wasn't spicy at all, but it tasted OK. You pay for what you get, so I'll be giving this place a miss in the future.

Really tasty kebab roll with naan made fresh. Would definitely recommend.

Too salty and oily no salad given ..

They did not deliver all the items, but did not spoil my dinner

They did not get order right but it was good

I ordered "Lamb Nihari, Haleem, Paya" not sure how this works because it didn't give me option to choose. I wanted Paya think I got nihari, tastes delicious 😋. Should I next time ask for Paya? Write it under notes

Too spicy need to think more about customers and how high the spice levels are

Calling my phone number but not speaking.

I visited Chattkhara hotel at tooting bec with Friends and had dinner. Service was good. We ordered Kabab. Daal channa, mutton curry, Nihari, roti and Naan. The taste of daal channa and curry was So so but Nihari and Kababs were tasty.

Kebab was cold and sent meat samosas when vegetable ordered. Offered money off next time

A great late night option if you're looking for something a bit different to the usual fried chicken shops in the evenings. The food was pretty nice and everything was fully Halal which is a great addition too. Slightly disappointed that they ran out of gulab jamun for dessert but understandable considering how late in the evening it was. Staff were very friendly and gave us some great recommendations - I would personally recommend the kebab roll and butter chicken.

Amazing food !! Good portion for the price and no compromise when it comes to flavours . I really like the food !! Recommended

Nice staff ! Great selection of food , we have tried most of the menu and love the flavours and variety ! In addition the prices are very fair and not extortionate like some nearby Indian restaurants.

Fresh food an the naan taste very good, overall all the food is quality. Great customer service.

Food quality bad, meat not cooked properly and has a smell

It was showing delivery on maps. After calling them 1 person was taking order then another person took over the phone and started yelling that if you want come and order!! POV: management is so bad
