Chook Chook in Wandsworth

Excellent service, incredible food - starters in particular were exceptional - and wonderful value, too. Thank you Sam for your great service! (Plus, the interior decoration is lovely)

We were at Chook Chook on a Sunday dinner and it was non very busy. Service was very kind, careful and very rapid, the food was in our table just few minutes after the order. Food was tasty and nice, bread and rice well done, beer excellent. Water could be colder, but the overall experience was very positive. We will come back and test the other plates!

I last left a 5-star review of this restaurant in October 2022. We were genuinely blown away by the service and food at that point. I've returned three or four times, and my girlfriend even more. Sadly, we've never had the same level as that first time. I'm not sure what has gone wrong here other than they appear to be victims of their own success. Service was again too fast despite us pointing out that this had been a problem on previous visits. We'd previously abandoned the street food options as they were never the same quality as on our first visit. The good news is that the starters we had last night, Crispy Cauliflower, Chilli Paneer and Garlic and Chilli Prawns were full of flavour. This had been the same on other recent visits. However, things went badly downhill from there with the Railway Chicken being bland/tasteless and the Lall Maas the same. Neither were generous in terms of the amount in each dish, making it hard to share with our friends, and both watery. The Masala Bhindi again lacked flavour of any description. However, the chilli garlic naan was very well cooked. The pattern of blandness on these and previously tried main dishes means that we have now given up on this place and discovered far better local alternatives. Has the main chef changed? Finally, they really need to sort the acoustics out. There was a particularly noisy group of a dozen young men, which made it very difficult to hear each other. Many restaurants now fix carpet or thin cushions underneath their tables to help reduce noise levels

We had a lovely , lovely meal ! The service from Sam was fantastic , very attentive and knowledgeable, and the food was really nice and tasty , not greasy at all ! Overall amazing !

Has to be one of the worst curry’s I have had. I ordered chicken curry, it’s so watery, I have never seen a curry sauce this eaters down. The chicken is of very poor quality. A lot of fat attached to it, it’s not appetising at all. The chicken biryani is ok, but again the chicken is awful. Personally I won’t use again, and I would not recommend it

Sam & the team were so friendly , delivering excellent service & delicious food ( as usual) Love this place - always great Thank you

So often I have been disappointed with Indian food in the UK, especially in restaurants that serve essentially the same generic curry under multiple different names. Chook Chook is NOT THAT! Each curry has its' own distinct mix of spices, which makes sharing dishes even more fun. We came here on a recommendation from our son, who orders carry-outs on a regular basis. We didn't make a reservation, but right after we were seated a queue began to form so I would recommend calling ahead. Between the three of us, we shared a crispy palak chaat for a starter, and for the main meal we had the Railway Chicken Curry, House Lamb Curry, Laal Maas, Raita, 3 Naans and a Pulao Rice. The three curries were all spiced perfectly - not too hot to mask the taste, but leaving a satisfying burn. Service was polite and friendly. Our waiter was particularly concerned that we enjoy our meal. The food came promptly and was hot. With two and a half pints of Cobra beer, the cost came to £94. Excellent value considering the food quality. Recommended!

The food and atmosphere were fantastic, the staff were also attentive and quick to respond. We did feel like we were being “rushed” to order food, with staff coming to us every 2-3min asking if we were ready to order but besides that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

We were recommended to eat at Chook Chook by four different people locally and it certainly lived up to its reputation. I think it's probably the best Indian food I've eaten for ages. Absolutely outstanding food. Make sure you try the cauliflower dish on the starter and the chilli paneer. So delicious!! The service was excellent and the ambience very good. One minor gripe worth a mention was the fact that the owner of the restaurant adds a service charge. Nothing new there and I would say that 99% of people (wrongly) assume that service charge goes to the waiting staff. Except that it doesn't. The service charge goes straight to the owner. Shameful. So I asked the lovely lady who served us to remove the service charge from the bill and gave her a cash tip instead. I always ask now because this is becoming a common trend in restaurants now, sadly. Other than that, we love Chook Chook

Very average food. My vegetarian moeli was tasteless with nasty small pieces of carrot. Service was slow. They seemed understaffed and focused on takeaways.

5/5 all round! Service, food, atmosphere and everything else was top class. Highly recommend everything on the menu. What a treat of a birthday dinner

The food is good but, as usual, the service was v poor because they cannot cope with the level of business they attract. This time the rice dishes we ordered never arrived so we had to eat the bulk of our curries without rice. They seem like nice people, and the food is good, but all 3 times I have been they have failed to deliver basic service. If they could get this right it would be a good local restaurant. I hope they do.

Amazing food and ambiance Highly recommend, the Railway chicken curry was delicious. We will visit again when we visit London

The most amazing Indian food. Wonderful service! Would recommend to anyone visiting London, especially if you are in the Putney area. Must have a lassi and the tikka masala with garlic chili naan.

I love the food at Chook Chook and have ordered many times and eaten in the restaurant. However I am really cross that the 3 small tandoori prawns that my sister ordered on Saturday for delivery cost over £15. How can this be correct? She eats this dish regularly at other good Indian restuarants but never has been charged £5 per small prawn. Is this a mistake or just ridiculous pricing?

… because it was so superb I don’t want anyone else crowding it out. Only found it by chance because wanting a curry before a gig at the nearby Half Moon. So glad we diss. Our table at 6.30 on a Friday night, by 7...

I had Chaat, paneer, cauliflower and Mushrooms for starters. I like how efficient the restaurant is and they bring everything quickly but the starters were amazing as I am not really a main dish person at Indian Restaurants. I would 100% go back here and...

Our last order failed to show on time: delivery was attempted two hours late. We tried again on a wet Tuesday in March and it took 75 minutes to deliver 5 items. Chook Chook is off our list now. Very disappointing for a local business

Deviating from our usual Holy Cow / Racing Rajah, we tried Chook Chook. Curry dishes were overloaded with excess ghee whilst the dry (tandoori) chicken dishes were .... well, very dry. Chicken also carried a slightly perfumed taste which did not feel like it was...

The food was fantastic but slightly disappointed with the rushed service. We were asked to make leave and make room for the next customers after only an hour at the table and before my husband had finished his drink.

Booked in here for a meal pre-gig at the Half Moon. Great little place... Menu had some really interesting dishes and our food was amazing. Although the restaurant was at full capacity by half 6, service was spot on and quick. Booking definitely advised! Could've...

We decided to dine at this restaurant last minute. First impresion wasn't good as I went to wash my hands before ordering to find the toilets smelt and had flies. Worst of all, the waitor was heave coughing all over the place, including over the...

This is a fantastic restaurant in Putney and probably the best Indian offering in the area. Extensive menu, everything is richly flavoured and cooked well. Service prompt. Clean. Being a partly vegan family we appreciate the separate vegan menu (which are modified versions of the...

Title is a bold statement but speaking from the heart! Me and my wife have been to over 20 michelin star and non michelin star Indian restaurants but can honestly say the chef at this establishment needs basic cooking lessons. Chicken and paneer were undercooked...

Do not go here! This is not authentic Indian food. Food was raw, bland & tasteless! Me and my husband have tried over 20 Indian restaurants and this was probably the worst! Please avoid disappoint and try somewhere else. All food was pre-made and heated...

Book a table away from the entry door. The service is prompt and smiling, the ambience cheerful, vibrant. Genuine Punjabi cuisine. Recommend the crispy Palak Chaat starter and the lamb shank. The chicken tikka is quite hot. The pilau rice is delicious. In fact the...

Went here this Saturday after hearing about it and I wasn’t disappointed. Food was really nice - I had buttered chicken for my main and a few starters to share including a mango chickpea dish, garlic and chilli prawns (quite spicy) and lamb chops. All...

We went on a busy Saturday night, and were very glad we'd booked. The welcome was warm and service exceptional throughout. The restaurant is small but decorated and lit on a railway carriage theme, and feels buzzy yet cosy. The menu is really interesting, we...

The food is good, so no problem with the chef. However, the front of house staff are awful. No personality and clearly inexperienced. The owner is not there. He/she seems to have employed 4 or 5 people who don't know what they're doing. They make...

Visited Chook Chook with a friend from the USA. We wanted to spend our time catching up, so quickly ordered. For starters, we shared a Dahi Sevpuri - they were like little pockets of heaven. SO tasty - and a new experience for my friend....

The food is consistently delicious and excellent. We have been ordering Chook Chook to take-away regularly since covid started, the food is always fresh and tasty, meat succulent and full of flavour, not to mention their mouth-watering starters! Top Indian cuisine. The restaurant is cosy...

Once again Sahil and his team gave us a wonderful evening. We went as a family and the food is staggeringly good. Despite them being packed full with customers the food and service was incredible. It really is the most tasty authentic Indian food in...

Had their flagship leg of lamb a while back. The taste of a wide array of ingredients was there, which bode well. But the salt level was staggering. It really spoilt it. I mentioned it to a waiter but he just walked off. I also...

We have been regulars since they opened - and that’s because they just keep on delivering! Great service; fabulous food - best ever in fact - and awesome ownership which keeps things “personal”. They deserve every full table they have - which is a lot,...

If you iike authentic Indian food then this is the restaurant for you. The menu has a vast selection to choose from at a reasonable price. The constant procession of takeaway collections whilst we were dining highlighted how popular this restaurant is.

Highly disappointed with the staff,i would never recommend this restraunt to anyone just because of their staff behaviour,as if they are offering free food services they do not have a decent courtesy to talk with their guest.the man (ketan) himself mentioned he was in hospitality...

Booked a table online and I thought we would not find a space, we did. Amazing!!! Service was quick and very attentive! Loads of dishes to choose from; we got there at 8.10pm, 8.20 all the dishes were on the table. Samosa were sooo crunchy...

Buzzy little restaurant that always serves great food. I ordered prawn masala, which was lovely, but my friend's lamb dish was even better. Starters of samosas, paneer and bhaji were really good too.

Favourite restaurant in London! I’ve visited Chook Chook so many times that I’ve lost count and thought it was high time I wrote a review! Amazing service, delicious and creative dishes, and just a fantastic buzz/ambience! So many tasty options and there’s still a few...

What a transformation from the old Putney Tandoori. Chook Chook is an excellent Indian restaurant, with delicious food and friendly / efficient service. The revamp of the décor is a great success and makes the most of the long / thin footprint. I have no...

Hands down the tastiest pakora of my life. I used to live in east london where I could go to some of the best known & most highly recommended Indian restaurants in london but chook chook matched and surpassed some of their dishes. The food,...

Great service good food We ha 3 family get together for birthday celebration We had great time Thanks for great service Highly recommend

Our fourth visit and it was as amazing as the first visit. The food is so good and each time we try different dishes - all excellent. Well worth going to. Our waiter was fun and knowledgeable about everything. Highly recommend this great Indian.

Lovely food with a wide range of vegetarian options. Gorgeous decor and atmosphere inside, we went on a Saturday evening and it was bustling but added to the vibe. Staff were all lovely and attentive with a quick service.

Excellent food - thoroughly enjoyable ambience. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a good Indian meal in the Putney Barnes area.

Have collected several takeaways over the last few weeks and every dish has an individual flavour and is tasty. Refreshingly different from the often muddy and too-similar flavours at many such places. For our digestion, everything is a little too spicy-hot but they have been...

Being a bit of a connoisseur of Indian restaurants and curries it has been a delight to find this treasure in Southwest London. On my most recent visit I took my parents there. They are equally big fans of Indian food and they were delighted...

Been there on a Saturday evening, booked online last min - staff was incredibly friendly, decor on high standards for a local in Putney. Food was really good and the plates nicely presented. Definitely recommended and would be our local choice for Indian food for...

Delicious food. The lamb was best we have had! Enjoyed the unusual cocktails and excellent service from Dominic! We’ll be back soon!

Our experience at Chock Chock was incredible. Immediately we were impressed with the decor and vibe of the place. We had the meat platter for starter. We then decided after all that meat to go for lighter mains so we ordered to share the Adraki...

We recently passed by this cute little restaurant on Lower Richmond Road and followed up with a booking a few days later (actually, our daughter had been some time before and recommended it as well). The overall interior design is very quirky from the faux...

Being with a half Indian boyfriend, finding high quality Indian food can be a tough challenge! Chook Chook is second only to Gymkhana. We happened upon the restaurant when living in Putney but return back from Wimbledon to eat here. It’s amazingly delicate food, incredibly...

Excellent food and excellent service. The railway chicken is delicious. Definitely will be back next time in Putney

My partner and I had a delicious meal here this week. We discovered Chook Chook takeaways during lockdown and promised ourselves to attend the restaurant when it reopened. We were not disappointed! The theme is a railway carriage and the menu features a variety of...

An exquisite range of food matched only by the wonderful staff who offer superb service. The quality and range of dishes will satisfy anyone - meat and fish lovers, vegans and anyone in between can eat well and at a snip compared to larger chains.

First visit to this restaurant and definitely not going to be the last. The food was delicious-didn’t think there could be much to say about poppadoms but these were particularly tasty. Great service and really nice attention to detail throughout-not the usual flock paper decor...

Really enjoyed our takeaway from here, tasty dishes and good online ordering system too. Will be back.

Ordered a delivery food was very late, too expensive for the quality . Samosa were readymade just like you get in supermarket. Called the restaurant and they had nothing to say except that their food is best. What arrogance!

I have tried many curry houses in Putney, Sheen, Fulham and Barnes and this food is the best I have tasted, very fresh, fabulous flavours, great service!

Ordered via deliveroo, they have awful fish moilee yellow water served as curry. Contacted the restaurant and they said this was their best ... I can’t imagine if this is their best what would worst taste like. Some Cheap white fish Undecooked and watery curry...

I've been wanting to try this place for ages, and I'm really glad we did. The snacks we had were amazing, the chicken trio starter beautifully cooked and tender and the curries fab. A different beast from your normal Indian and we will definitely be...

Ordered takeaway and the food was sooooo delicious!! Would recommend the butter chicken and Karahi meat dishes - so yummy! Service was also excellent - went above and beyond! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Fantastic quality Indian food- some of the best in London, well cooked with an eye for detail and flavour- highly recommend! Ask for the Methi chicken! Thanks again to Sahil and the team!

Got a takeaway, nice food, but the amount of plastic that they used was shocking. there are much more sustainable containers, such as tin and card. If they stopped with the plastic I would love to order here again,

My husband and I eat a LOT of Indian food and have also spent a decent amount of time travelling around India. We ordered a takeaway from Chook Chook a few months back and couldn't believe how good it was — such a variety of creative...

I have eaten at Chook Chook three times and it has fast become my favourite Indian restaurant in London. It is easy to see why it is so popular. The manager, and the staff are all very attentive and polite. The menu has many great...

The service is good. I love the set up of this restaurant, it’s just missing the background sound of the train noise. The dahi sevpuri did not taste fresh and I found the saag bland. However the keema pav was really good, just the right...

We went for the first time as a group of four and had such a great evening. Completely delicious food, many options to choose from (plenty of vegetarian/vegan also) and brilliant service from very friendly staff. Loved the atmosphere and we were really surprised when...

We were a group of four for a fabulous meal on Thurday evening. All of our dishes were delicious and I particularly enjoyed the Amritsari Tikki Chole and my Karahi Prawn Masala. We also would recommend the Veg Platter, Awadhi Lamb Chops, Amritsari Machi starters...

We enjoyed a delicious dinner during Eat out to Help Out. We wanted to try everything on the menu as it all sounds so tasty! Definitely recommend the scallops starter and Laal Maas Lamb curry. Very good service too and lovely setting to have dinner,...

Amazing Indian! New favourite place will definitely go again. Such delicious authentic Indian food, have loads of the different chaat they are delicious! Staff are also great and super attentive. Really lovely interior as well. Couldn’t recommend more

Great food, pleasant, helpful and attentive staff. Railway chicken sublime as were deep fried quails and the spicy clams. All beautifully presented. These guys know what they are doing. Long may they stay in Putney.

Went there last night. Loved the authentic, perfectly spiced food and drink from all over India. Great service from our waiter from Goa. I'll be back, thanks!

This is by far my favourite local Indian restaurant and a real hidden gem. The quality, flavours and the textures of the food are second-to-none, and there’s a great range of authentic dishes - takes me back to my time in India! Delighted to see...

Being if Indian heritage, we have not come across a decent true Indian restaurant since moving to the area. I was getting sick and tired of seeing typical English curry houses. This restaurant has exceeded our expectations and we love it! Amazing tasting food, great...

A Putney gem! Finally a great restaurant in the area. Friendly staff, stylish decor and amazing curries. We have become regulars.

We have been using Chook Chook for deliveries during lockdown and the service and quality of food is excellent! I would highly recomen them.

This is a new favourite for us. Have been to the restaurant 3-4 times, which is lovely, but their takeaway food is also great, we think the best takeaway in the area. For takeaway we stick with their dahi sevpuri, samosas, chicken tandoori, chicken tikka...

Great food, delicious flavours & super friendly staff. We treated ourselves to a takeaway & it was absolutely delicious. Mightily impressed with the vegan range they offer. Best curry in Putney!!!

I ordered home delivery from this Indian restaurant and was very pleased to finally discover a good local Indian meal. The food is authentic and especially the curries are tasty with decent sized portions. I recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala (which could be more chilli...

Chook Chook was recommended by friends in its new guise, although we’d been here several times when it was the Putney Tandoori - with good food. However, we ordered a takeaway during lockdown that was a massive letdown. They delivered the wrong items, then when...

Had heard great things about Chook Chook but at the moment can only get takeaway. We had a selection of meat and vegetable dishes - every one delicious and fresh. this part of London has been crying out for and Indian restaurant of this quality....

We ordered a full meal for 5 from Chook Chook (pre-ordered on their website for collection on a Saturday night) and the food was absolutely delicious. Service was efficient and friendly, and the food could not have been better - a real step above your...

Chook Chook is a local gem. Every nuance of this restaurant oozes boujiness. The food is extremely tasty and customers are spoilt for choice with a variety of appetizers. The winners are the awadhi lamb chops and the Dahi sevpuri which whet the palette for...

Waiters were very cheerful even though it was very busy and they were run off their feet. We loved it and will definitely be back! Thanks!!

After reading the rave reviews I decided to give it a try for takeaway. It is really good. I went for a classic dish as it is the 1st time but I saw lots of dishes that you usually don’t see in Indian restaurant menus....

We have just had an amazing food at this restaurant. Our friend recommended, so we thought that it would be good, and it exceeded our expectations. All the food are fresh and tasty, try the lamb chops and some vegetables. The curries are so good....

Really nice food, very enjoyable experience in an unusual restaurant layout. Not just local people, it attracted people from as far afield as Barnes!

Food , service and decor all amazing , good selection of dishes and very different to a normal Indian restaurant. Heard so much about so went all the way from northwest London and I am glad I made that decision. Very highly recommended. Book in...

My son booked this for me to celebrate my birthday and we were really looking forward to our visit. Unfortunately, we didn’t stay to eat anything. Upon arrival the welcome was non-existent and it felt like our arrival was an inconvenience. There were two men...

As a resident of Putney for a few years, I was very excited when Chook Chook opened. Just minutes from our house, it has become the perfect place to spend a Friday night. The restaurant itself is warm, inviting and decorated to a really high...

As a Putney resident, I found dismay in the lack of quality restaurants in the area, always having to go to Chelsea, Fulham or Clapham to enjoy a nice meal. But the wait is over... this Indian restaurant is absolutely great, with high quality food...

Our first visit to Chook Chook and we were very impressed. The ambience is cosy and we sat in sears what you would get on a train. Very atmospheric. I love Indian food and the menu was authentic and delicious. It’s a breath of fresh...

I’m torn as I write this as I fear I will struggle to get a table when everyone knows about this place. Ate for the third time yesterday and t’was excellent once again. Menu varied and light years away from trad fare of a samosa...

Ordered as a takeaway. Impressed by the speed of delivery ~35min from ordering online Food was great quality and I really recommend the Railway Chicken Curry We will certainly use Chook Chook again!

The food here is excellent. I had the Samosa Chaat and the Tarka Dal, and both dishes were superb, similar tasting to what we had served in 5 star hotels in india. The service was also great. I’d highly recommend this restaurant.

While staying in Putney with a friend tried this place within minutes from our bnb. Portions are really small for the price, staff clueless on a busy night with long wait, sadly we did not enjoy especially After eating at dishoom this place was really...

Simply the best curry house I have been in years . The service and hospitality outstanding , the food delicious , beautifully prepared , original , hot plates , the beer and wine served at the perfect temperature , and very reasonable. You must visit...

Over the years I'd eaten at the old Putney Tandoori several times and always had a good meal - but while the food was consistent, the old restaurant's decor and menu were arguably a bit tired. The refresh to Chook Chook is an extraordinary change;...

Excellent new restaurant in Putney. Food was excellent with good choice of both meat and vegetarian dishes. Nice starters including lamb chops and scallops. The decor in the restaurant was nicely done.
