It's ok. Food acceptable but not great. Good for the price. Decent naan but chickpeas were like bullets.

Tasted like it came out of a can. Lamb Saag. Overcooked meat. Generous portions and friendly staff. But this was the worst curry I've had.

Great place that’s open late every day. Really great value, super cheap and quick. They make their naan in an actual tandoor, lots of great south Asian dishes here to eat.

What an absolute disaster. The moment I entered the dumpster I realised I've made a mistake. I was too tired to go anywhere so I ordered the least toxic and unhygienic looking vegetarian option. I chose Matar Paneer and Naan, the Matar paneer har 2 cubes of paneer and 100ml of oil. The place is extremely dirty. The tables were dirty, the floor was dirty and even the display where they displayed the pre cooked food was filthy. The guy preparing the naan did not wash or sanitize his hand and made it with his dirty hands. There aren't enough words to describe how dirty the place is. I had to leave the meal, pay my bill and buzz off.

Today I dined at Chatkara Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and attentive staff who made me feel welcome. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere for a meal. One of the standout features of Chatkara is the ability to see your food being prepared right in front of you. This not only adds a unique touch to the dining experience but also assures you of the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. I ordered the lamb bhuna with garlic naan and a Coca-Cola, and all of this was priced under 12 pounds, which is incredibly reasonable. The lamb bhuna was exceptionally well-cooked and flavorful, with just the right balance of spices that enhanced the taste without overpowering the dish. The garlic naan was fresh, soft, and perfectly complemented the rich flavors of the lamb. I’ve tried multiple Desi restaurants where I ended up paying double or even triple the amount for what was supposed to be a good experience, but none of them came close to the quality and value offered by Chatkara. The quick service was another highlight, as my meal was served promptly despite the restaurant being fairly busy. It's clear that Chatkara takes pride in both their food and their service, ensuring that customers leave satisfied and eager to return. Based on my experience and the overall atmosphere, I can confidently say that Chatkara Restaurant deserves all the praise it gets. It truly beats all the other places I've tried in terms of both quality and value. If you're looking for an authentic Desi dining experience that won't break the bank, I highly recommend giving Chatkara a visit.

A friend recommended that I try the food as all the dishes are Paki and Indian, thus being a Paki, I know the real taste of these dishes as all the food was nicely displayed, but the taste of Channa Masala was so unpleasant and it was full of oil. I ordered a side dish of biryani too. Being honest now, I know why the prices are so low.

Went to have their £6.50 lunch special and halfway through my meal I found a fly in my food. Not a small fruit fly, the big ones. Took it to the person who served me and showed them, they asked if I wanted another meal. I told them my appetite was gone and I'd prefer a refund. He said they don't do refunds and insisted I take another meal. I explained that this was a health and safety violation and against my consumer rights, therefore refusing a refund would be illegal. He laughed and went to get his manager. The manager came and assessed the meal, he asked why I ate half the food if there was a fly... I said only noticed it halfway through the meal. He then said that I drank the coke that came with the meal and there was no fly in there so I should pay for the coke. I said the deal was 'lunch and a drink' for £6.50. I did not buy it separately. The deal was broken and I'd like a refund. He told me the door was open and that could have flown in anytime. I said that I would have noticed and it would be on the top of my food, not curried (brown) mixed in with with lamb. He then threw my cash on the counter and walked off. I paid by card. Avoid this place at all costs.

Most of the food is low quality, they cook curry once in a week and keep it in fridge every night and warm in the oven before serving. I can guarantee they do not follow food hygiene at all. Also their staffs are very very rude with most of the customers. Just challenge their food quality and you will get their aggressive response

I came here last night with my partner for a quick bite to eat.. we ordered a veg samosa, onion baji and chicken tikka wrap. The food came out quickly but found that the samosa was lamb and not veg which my partner couldn’t eat. I spoken to the sister who quickly rectified the issues and gave us a new samosa. The onion baji for me was dry and not fresh but reheated, the tikka roll was nice but over cooked a little and wrapped in a chappati which I expected this to have come out in a naan bread so I was a bit disappointed. All in all was ok and nice, we was also given a few poppadoms and salad which was complimentary.

Very busy however, their service is pretty good. Noise levels are >>>>> but still its all worth it for such delicious food. Minus 1 ⭐️ because there is way too much oil that we had to separate with a spoon , i hope they consider this as their food is so flavourful that it doesn’t have to be covered in oil unlike other restaurants who believe adding more oil equates to more flavour. Forgot to take pictures at the start lol Most certainly will be back for more x

Ordered chicken tikka naan wrap. And Chapli kebab. The chicken tikka pieces had been preciously cooked , and was reheated for my order. Because of this the chicken was quite dry, salad and sauce was present in the wrap, wich really helped combat the dry chicken. I wasn't asked preference for salad or sauce, but what they provided was nice enough. Chapli kebab was also cooked previously, and reheated for my.order. very enjoyable despite not being made and cooked to.order If the chicken tikka was cooked fresh for each order would be so much better than it currently is.

My friend bought me a lamb boona last night. I was in shock at the bones and fatty meat. I have never had a bad curry like this before. I asked my friend if this was normal there and he said no. The bones were both big and small, it reminded me of curried goat. But the food (meat) was one third bone and one third fat, leaving not much meat.

Good little Pakistani/Afghani takeaway with seating for about 15+ people inside. I've been coming here for a few years as its good value with decent portions and very reasonable prices. The biryanis are freshly made daily and naans are great fresh from the oven. The customer service is 'traditional' style :) , and the guys are friendly, even though they may not look like it. A great variety of curries, veg and meat, and the food is quite tasty. Recommend if you want a decent curry in this area, without paying too much. Short walk to Elephant and Castle station.

Was just pure oil and whatever was in it didn’t look appealing. Couldn’t even bring myself to even taste test it it looked that bad. The naan was so lifeless and had CHUNKS of garlic in it peeking out. I have had to bin the WHOLE order

SOMEWHAT LIKE PUNJAB Chatkhara is a restaurant in Elephant and castle, London. We’s ordered mashroom rice and tarka daal and plain paranthas. The taste was nice and also it is worth for money, even i can say that it has cheap punjabi food. One thing i didn’t like that they are bit slow in serving and some resources problem. Overall, this restaurant is very good in taste and the staff is very friendly. So, if you want to something called satisfaction so you give a try to CHATKHARA.

As French people, we were really afraid of not being able to find a real French Taco in London. This one was perfect! We find the spirit of the French O’Tacos. The cheese sauce could be a little creamier but other than that it's really good. It’s a pleasure both in quality and quantity.
