Chilli Shaker in Islington

Made to pay the 10% ‘discretionary’ charge. When challenged got a shrug of the shoulders and told to pay it. Run out of onion bhajis, run out of beer all together and the garlic in the garlic rice was very chewy. Pretty Average!

Nice place, bloke was inviting and we scranned the set meal for a tenner. Food was a bit dead i cant lie , but tbf i was happy to munch anything. Been paying the price for that decision this morning however as the bog has been deleted a few times

Mala comida, restaurante muy tranquilo y música extraña. El lugar estaba vacío. El korma de pollo era insípido, no sabía que era posible. ¡Un no de mi parte!

¡El mejor restaurante para cenar! Muy cálida bienvenida mientras estaba en una emergencia con mi propia comida no podía encontrar un lugar para comer, fueron una respuesta a mi oración, como restaurante, no te acogen si tienes comida de otro lugar, incluso dices que quieres una taza de té. Pero, gracias a Dios, ¡hay un lugar así! ¡Lo mejor para el servicio al cliente! ¡Sentirse relajado y cómodo, sentirse seguro en un agradable ambiente indio! ¡Y el aroma de un té indio especial, lo recomiendo y estoy deseando volver!

Fui con mis amigos la semana pasada. La comida es excelente y el personal es muy amable. Te sugiero que lo pruebes. Está muy cerca de Kings Cross Station.

After such a long lockdown period, finally got the courage to make a visit to chilli shaker in King’s Cross with few of my good friends. It felt safe enough and enjoyed amazing Indian dishes prepared by Chilli shaker restaurant. My favourites, Mixed platter as starter, Chicken Jalfrezi 👌🏼or Chicken garlic chilli masala. We were six of us and everyone enjoyed except one of us tried to be brave and ordered their hottest curry:)) didn’t end up well.. overall really great experience. Will recommend to anyone who loves Indian curry.

Best local Indian around the kings cross area by far. The lamb biryani is to dye for, the chicken curry is the best I've ever had and don't even go there with the lentil soup and onion bhajis... seriously you will not find a better Indian restaurant anywhere near here. The meat samosas are better than you know what!! I swear down.

A cozy restaurant serving excellent food. A good selection of Indian starters side dishes and main courses. The food was cooked well and presented well. Friendly staff. All hygiene rules implemented.

Met a friend here tonight. I live in Cornwall and do not really know London but very much enjoyed the experience. I requested a special dish and the food was excellent along with very tentative service. Very clean, reasonably priced for a city and service very good from manager Manzu.

Only restaurant open on Christmas Day, so we went in and as Indians we have super high expectations of food and they really catered to us with great service and great food. The garlic chili chicken was great and the lamb chops had an awesome marinade! Truly a surprise experience with great food! Will be back next trip!

Such a great location to have a restaurant but, alas, what a waste of trip it was. Food was barely edible. It all tasted like supermarket readymade food, which has been microwaved and served to us. Paratha was rubbery. Curry with biryani was stale. Biryani itself was tasted like it had been cooked few days back. I wouldn't recommend it

Visited on a Friday evening. One of our party uses a wheelchair and from the second we opened the door the service was amazing. So thoughtful and kind. Food was amazing too. An ideal pitstop if youre off frolicing to The Scala as my party were. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thankyou very much

Having worked in King's Cross for more years than I care to remember, I am always interested to see how much it has changed since I left. With the renovation of both King's Cross and St Pancras stations, the area has acquired a whole load of new restaurants. One I didn't know about is the Chilli Shaker Indian restaurant on Gray's Inn Road, just around the corner from the mainline and the Underground stations. It looks small from the outside but the interior is quite expansive and it is well furnished, nice and fresh looking and has linen table cloths! I was there for a quick lunch before going on to another appointment, so I tried their excellent vegetarian buffet with a great choice of freshly made dishes resting in large chafing dishes. I lost count of the number of dishes on the buffet table - at least a dozen, I think. I enjoyed the fine selection of Sag aloo, spinach with potatoes, Bindi bhaji or okra or ladies fingers, Spinach bhajis, Aloo gobi with potato and cauliflower, and many others plus nan bread and Pilau basmati rice. You can help yourself to however much you like, so it's tempting to go back for more, because it is all so delicious and, despite the name, not overpoweringly chilli hot. There is dessert as well, a luscious milk pudding of vermicelli and cream or a cool refreshing yoghurt. And all for just £6.95, with a reduction to £5 for children under eight, and if they are under three then it's free! I would highly recommend Chilli Shaker and will return just as soon as I can.

Called in unexpectedly after an evening return from a Eurostar trip. We each had a really excellent meal, served by attentive, friendly staff in very pleasant surrounings.

We met friends here last night, travelling through London ,and looking for somewhere reasonably priced to eat.We are not experienced "Indian-food" eaters, but were agreeably surprised at how good this place was. We all had varieties of curries and all professed ourselves very satisfied. The place itself was unpretentious but quiet and clean...the staff friendly and attentive. In short, we would definitely return when next in the area. Thank you!

We stopped in for a quick bite after a long day of traveling. We were greeted immediately and graciously at the door. Our waiters were attentive and kind. They adapted our order to exactly what we wanted. Food came out in a nice time and...

Ate here even though its least reviews out of the 3 indians close proximity. Was impressed. The madras was very good and service was good and polite. The lamb was a little too chewy and small pieces but overall a good place to eat. Thanks

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. It looked fairly inexpensive, but as you add rice and naan to your curry, it starts to add up. Overall very good

I had a great curry in Chilli Shaker and the staff were good and helpful. I'd recommend this place to eat if anybody is passing the King's Cross area. A good meal served all round

Good food and value. Very kind service and clean restaurant. I was there with my best friend and had a really good time. I recommend this place for the Indian food lovers 100%!!!

Lovely curry, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, garlic rice and garlic naan, extremely helpful staff, reasonable price, will definitely be visiting again next time we're in London, highly recommended 😊

I work in Kings Cross during the week and have tried all of the Indian restaurants. This one is definitely the best, superb food, really friendly and can’t do enough to make your meal enjoyable. Would highly recommend

I happened to be in Kings Cross area and hungry at about 1.30. This restaurant was not busy. Seemed good value for London and plenty of choice but I went for a £10 lunch deal which was excellent. Nice touch was the fresh nan bread...

Sunday lunch menu 9.95. Poor. Wouldn't repeat it. Chicken Dupiaza and onion bhaji were nice. Rest not. Naan was sweet. Chicken dansak was supposed to replace the lamb dansak but I got poor chicken curry instead. Even though he said he would give me chicken...

I searched far and wide in central London for a proper curry. Little did I know it was right across the street from my office all along. This gem of an Indian restaurant has a massive selection of gourmet Currys as well as more western...

Was standing outside and reading menu and the very pleasant gentleman came out and welcomed me in. He was very pleasant and not in your face COME IN. If anything it needs a makeover but overall it’s clean and well organised and the staff very...

Tasty lunchtime special curry for 7.50. 2 courses I had onion bhajees with lamb curry and Naan. Great quality and a super thick naan not the thin ones often served on a cheapo deal. Friendly prompt service.
