Chook Chook Indian Railway Kitchen in Wandsworth

Great food, amazing service and overall a wonderful experience. A special thanks to Sam for the great service!

Food was delicious and minor delay in getting food to the table. Ketan who served was very kind.

Delicious, authentic food and a charming atmosphere

We had a takeout from here, delicious food the flavour and spices are next level, highly recommend will be visiting or ordering again

The server lady in black coat wants friendly, we flet she was racist towards us.Moreover the taste and quantity doesn't justify the price. £5 for a Tea is unbelievable 🙄

Delicious food, authentic flavors.

My favourite local restaurant. I always come here for Punjabi samosa chaat.

Great food! Great service! A great way to celebrate an end of an era with good friends!

Amazing Indian food on a busy Friday night. Incredible atmosphere, great cocktails. Fantastic value as we got a lot and were shocked the bill was so low - definitely worth eating in, but book ahead as it gets full on the weekends.

Amazing food and fantastic service. Would definitely recommend

Great food and service. Really nice ambience and setting

Nicely designed place with good atmosphere. Food was flavoursome and had good portion sizes.

A Putney staple. Ketan is great. Get the butter chicken. Try the mango kulfi ice cream after very refreshing.

Have been many times before and the food, as usual, was excellent! However, the service leaves something to be desired, as it felt that we were rushed from the off - I appreciate quick service but we felt that we were not given enough time to look through the menus before we had to order, and that we were pushed out the door as soon as we showed signs of finishing our mains, as we were told there were other tables waiting to be seated. Was a shame as we were having a great evening but think an hour sitting per table (we were out in under an hour) is far too rushed.

So good!! The food, drinks and service were excellent. Definitely go for the starters - the sevpuri, lamb and prawns were my favorite!

What can I say, came across this restaurant after a walk, decided to go in with family, beautiful inside, service seemed attentive, however that's where the positive ends for me. Gave poppadoms without any chutney on the side, then was told it doesn't come with chutney which is first time because it always does in other restaurants, the portions weren't great, the chicken tasted frozen, was quite tough and dry which tells me it's frozen, the prawn masala was OK nothing great, the butter chicken is not butter chicken its more of a tikka masala (please learn the difference in taste) , the daal was ok also. I think the place is good for those who don't have indian food much as you can't tell the difference, whereas being from Indian background I can certainly say the food was mediocre at best and wouldn't be coming back here again. Service was great and decor just a shame the food was terrible.

The best Indian in south London. Authentic and high quality. People are very genuine and it makes difference.

I am here to celebrate my special occasion and the services and behavior hospitality specially of humple staff Sam makes me to repeatedly visit here.Food was worth.

Great value for money - portion sizes very good. Butter Chicken would be my recommendation. Fantastic service

Came here for the first time and although we don’t live very close, this restaurant has been around for a few years now and I can’t believe we only just discovered it! The food was incredible, the ambiance and feel of the restaurant was great, and so was the service. The value for the quality you get is excellent. I honestly can’t wait to return!

Always a super supper! We called last minute and they squeezed us in on a busy Saturday! Thank you Sam for looking after us so wonderfully!

Good food, nice staff and a very nice restaurant atmosphere

Chook Chook never disappoints! This is a really reasonably priced restaurant considering the portion sizes and how ridiculously delicious the food is. I always have vegetarian options - really recommend the paneer butter masala, which is aromatic, spicy, rich and tomatoey - but my friends repeatedly rave about the lamb and chicken dishes. Yesterday we had the pakora to start and omg they are 11/10… crispy, spicy and so flavourful. I’ve never had a better pakora! Everything here is excellent - down to the steamed rice! The staff are very visible, attentive and polite, and the food always comes out in good time. So, overall, there’s nothing to not love about Chook Chook!

Lovely atmosphere. Great service and delicious food. Ketan served very professionally and enthusiastically

Amazing food and even better service. Definitely recommend. Ketan and Sam were wonderful.

Great food and service! The staff were lovely and food was exceptional as

Brilliant food, one of the best Indian restaurants I have been too in London!

Fantastic food, amazing atmosphere and sublime service! Sahil and everyone looked after us so well, and every morsel was delicious. Will definitely be back for more! Please send me the Mango Lassi recipe ⭐️

Lovely food , atmosphere and speedy service. Special thank you to Ketan, so warm and attentive.

Delicious food and outstanding service by Sam.

Excellent food and service from Sam. Best butter chicken and moilee I've had in the UK so far. Definitely coming back.

We had a great dinner! Food and service were both excellent! Our server was Sam, and he was particularly impressive.

The best! Couldn’t recommend more - Sam is the most lovely waiter

🚂 Chook Chook: Indian Railway Kitchen – A Journey Through Flavour 🇮🇳 Had an amazing meal at Chook Chook: Indian Railway Kitchen in Putney! From the moment we arrived, Sahil took the time to explain the menu and offer recommendations, making the experience even more special. We kicked off with Amritsari Tikki Chole, a deliciously crisp potato cutlet paired with tangy, spiced chickpeas, drizzled with yoghurt and chutneys—a proper North Indian street food classic! The Garlic & Chilli Prawns were another winner—crispy, packed with heat, and tossed with vibrant peppers. The Spicy Keema Pav delivered on its promise—flavoursome lamb mince with buttery buns that just soaked it all up beautifully. But the Awadhi Lamb Chops stole the show. Marinated in ginger, garlic, yoghurt, green chillies, and coriander before being cooked to perfection in a clay oven—this is a must-order! We also had the House Black Daal, a slow-cooked lentil dish that was rich and comforting, and the Railway Chicken Curry, a rustic, homely dish that transported us straight to the colonial-era Indian railways. The Lamb Biryani was fragrant, flavour-packed, and had the perfect spicy kick. For dessert, the Gulab Jamun was a hit—warm, syrupy, and indulgent. However, the Coconut Kheer lacked the coconut punch I was expecting. Everything was washed down with a refreshing Mango Lassi, the perfect way to round off the meal. Big shoutout to Ketan and Sam for their warm and attentive service! If you’re in Putney, make sure to check this place out!

The food is amazing, the vibes are great and Sam looked after us so well. Definitely coming back. :)

Unreal curry, staff are so nice, service is so fast - see you next week!

amazing food, amazing service, felt like a slice of home away from home.

Every time we come here the service, the food and atmosphere are fantastic. As a pescatarian, there is so much choice but there is also such a unique menu blended with all the classics you would expect. The vegetarian selection is also fantastic. The service is with a smile, and all the dishes ALWAYS look, smell and taste incredible. So lucky to have found such a gem. As always, fab!!

What a brilliant experience it was having the best Indian meal in London. We ordered tandoori prawns, lamb chops, Chicken Tikka and the most delicious lamb sheekh kebabs. Had to have the butter chicken with crisp naan and roti. For the vegetarians the black daal and palak paneer just hit the spot. Will definitely come back everytime I’m in London. Service was impeccable!

Wonderful food and service every time!

Such great food and fantastic service! Highly recommend the Lamb chops 😁

Awesome food. Insane amount of food and really good. Nice staff and good service U should try it

Good food good vibes. Kethan very superb

I always love coming here! The food is amazing and on top of that the staff are incredible. Always feel so welcome! 100% recommend for anyone looking for a nice place with good atmosphere any night of the week!

Brilliant night out. We had 25 people and it was outstanding service and food

The atmosphere was an absolute vibe with beautiful decor and mods lighting. Staff have been beyond attentive, at no point did we have to ask for anything because they were already on it and the food was just incredible, one of the best Indians I have ever had!

the food and ambience were fantastic, and service by Sam was excellent. will definitely visit again !

Very nice service & great food Thank you

Another amazing meal at Chook Chook! Fantastic naan and lovely veggie curries (and I’m sure the meat ones are great too 👌). Thank you!

Very friendly staff, very good food. Would recommend.

Amazing food and Sam was very friendly! We love this place.

This place is a gem. The food is fabulous, the staff are attentive and engaging and the atmosphere is vibrant. What’s not to like … nothing !!

Disgusting place, it took 30min to get my food and it was cold , dont waste your money. Also they are acting so bad to the delivery drivers.

Best food and best service always. We have the butter chicken, biryani and paratha, all are next level! The negronis are top notch as well. Sam is the best

Gorgeous meal. Food, drinks and atmosphere were all perfect. Thank you Sam for being a brilliant host!

Sam went above and beyond to make sure our experience was wonderful. Great food and exceptional service

Sam was very attentive for all I needs and the food was very good!!

Lovely food. Good recommendations and service from our waiter Sam. Book in advance though

Sam is the man. Great dinner - recommend

Great food, good service, and nicely priced!

Really good time! Can’t fault anything

Fantastic food. Sam was great. And atmosphere very good. £101.00 for two ate very well. One of our favourite Indian restaurants in London.

This was a VERY good restaurant, one of the best I've been too. The service was impeccable and top-notch. Thanks to Sam, great guy 👍. I'm a very picky eater (I've rarely liked any restaurants) but this.. is GREATT. Recommend definitely (especially if you have a birthday)

Back again for the sixth time now, introduce some new people and as usual, always excellent. Try to load a new furries that I've never seen before. These guys really do it the best. Couldn't recommend it more!!!

My first impressions when entering chook chook were ‘what fantastic interior design!’ - It was as though I was walking into the set of a Wes Anderson film. The beer was cold and crisp, the food was bold, audacious and pleasantly progressive and the service was impossibly professional. It seemed that it was the busiest night of the year but Sam made sure my experience was of the highest quality. While it was my first time here, it certainly won’t be the last.

Great food every time so good I wish thy had a couple of monthly specials as I’ve Dam near done the menu

We’re local and always enjoy the hospitality, food and atmosphere at Chook Chook.

Highly recommend- delicious food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go again :-)

Great place, great service, delicious food and a decent buzz in the place. Had a lovely evening here; everything was spot on.

Lovely dinner with my parents celebrating my birthday. Food is delicious and has a great local atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely birthday! :)

Can't remember who told me about chook chook but word has spread around Wandsworth about it and you won't be disappointed. Service is excellent, all the staff are welcoming and friendly and the food... Wow... I've been twice now and nothing has disappointed. I recommend the butter chicken and the chilli paneer and then everything else. The spinach Lamb curry was also amazing. Thank you again and make a reservation before you go as it's always busy but service is excellent Thank you Chook Chook

The food was late, cold and taste awful. It did not resemble the pictures when ordering. We were unable to eat it. Very disappointing and have requested a refund.

Tasty, authentic, wonderful food. Not greasy or over filling. Great ambience, lovely service.

Come here if you want to experience the best Indian food, the best vibes, top service and friendly staff. Cook Chook KNOW how to host. The best restaurant in London

We just thought of going on a drive and came across this restaurant on the search and decided to drop by. It was a good choice for a good quality food and service. The presentation of the food was lovely with authentic Indian curries as mains. The size of the roti was small for me but tasty. Sam gave an amazing service. Cute kettle masala chai with warm towels in the end of the meal. And orange Chocolate is nice too. A good discovery and a nice night.

Great tasting food with great pieces of meat

Great food. Karen and Sam were great hosts!

Fantastic all round every time! Recommend eating in, you get extremely well looked after and unlike most curry houses it’s a really nice place to be. Best curry house in SW London in my opinion.

Fantastic food and service. Sam was a fantastic waiter from start to finish. Will be back again. Thank you!

Upmarket Indian food. Always delicious!

Great food & service Sam was a star

Delicious food and wonderful service!

Always a great meal, super tasty and great service from Sam! Thankyou

Truly enjoyed an evening with family here - mouth smacking food 😋😋and Sam provided a great attentive service 👌💯💯💯

Unfortunately the food was pretty awful. The chicken curry had no flavour and the meat was poor quality. The naan bread was too salty and very small for £4 and the pilau rice wasn’t pilau. The food was late. I won’t be ordering from here again

I wanted to try this place for ages and it did not disappoint! The cauliflower and lamb chops for starter, were phenomenal. We had railway chicken and chicken saagwala with peshwari naan, and it was divine. I can’t wait to go back to have some more cauliflower, stunning! Our server Sam was lovely and attentive, highly recommend this place for a decent curry!! :)

Chill paneer, pav bhaji, samosa chaat all really good dishes.

The food tastes great and very fresh. So many flavours and the quality is great.

Lovely food, and very friendly staff!! Thank you to our waiter Sam!

Food was 10/10 and have a high bar for Indian food. Chicken tikka masala was excellent, and the pakoras! Lovely staff, nice, music good, great vibe

Delicious food, and the waiters were great. There was a great ambiance in the restaurant we had a great time! We’ll definitely go back!

no joke, the best Indian food I’ve ever had! the restaurant is super cute and the service is amazing - shout out to Sam! going to recommend this place to anyone who comes to London 🤩

Been going here for years and it’s always absolutely delicious whether you eat in or have a takeaway delivered! Definitely my favourite Indian restaurant in London. The staff are always so friendly regardless of how lively it gets. I love that you can get good drinks like cocktails and mocktails, as well as the usual beers.

Very good tika masala! Mocktails are 10/10👌👌🤩

The food here is amazing. The delivery service is appalling. Don't order through their website. Deliveroo orders get prioritised. Used to be a regular but deliver time has been too long too many times. Over takes over 90 minutes and then turns up cold. It's a shame as good is great.

We had an amazing time at Chook Chook! The food and service is amazing. Our server Sam took care of us the whole evening and was wonderful. Order the chilli and garlic prawn starter 🤤

Staff Sam is very friendly and accomodating.The food is spectacular, budget friendly, decent portions, relaxing environment,spacious, calm atmosphere.We adore the lamb biryani, and lamb curry.It taste high end food and exquisite.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and great service from Sam! Would recommend for some great dinner vibes with great food!

Back at our favourite restaurant in Putney. Sam served us again and recommended the chilli prawns - our new favourite starter! Thanks for a lovely meal, we’ll be back soon!
