Dhaba Indian Street Food in Wandsworth

Whilst this was a delivery, I think the quality has really gone down hill. Puri which used to be small, brkwn were large yellow and excessive oil! Dhal makhni wasnt creamy and felt tastless and watered down. V disappointing.

We would recommend this fantastic restaurant to anyone that enjoys good food! We regularly eat Indian street food and this is the best we’ve had yet. Try the onion bhagis, and don’t miss out on the fantastic lamb dishes. Best value for money in London, and definitely the nicest service! 5 stars all round!

Delicious food in a simple setting. Lovely small little restaurant, dishing out superb curries, we were a large ish group so tried a lot off the menu and everything was good. Loved tandoori platter for starters, coconut rice, the gosht and a nice Dahl on the side. And it is also bring your own!

Tiny but amazing. I was looking for something to eat in the area and I saw the brilliant reviews. Not disappointed at all!! The food is very cheap to be in London and delicious. Every dish was plentiful and I loved it. They were also very nice.

We were taking a late-night walk and wanted to grab a bite, we tried ordering the tandoori and the staff told us it is not enough for a dine-in service and we had to order more. We tried adding some kind of Paneer with a final total of 18.5 pounds. However, they brought the food in a takeaway packing and said we had to leave the place because our order was not much. We were two adults and did not want to have a large meal late at night and the restaurant was not even crowded and had plenty of empty tables but we were literally kicked out of the place for not ordering enough. Opening the packaging we found a very small portion of food for 15 pounds. Very offensive, rude, and impolite. Do not suggest even if you are starving and about to pass out!

Disappointing experience at Dhaba. Booked a table for two and received an email confirming the booking. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet - just two tables taken - but were told that our booking was cancelled because they had a party coming in. They suggested a table 2.5 hrs later or a takeaway, but we were ready to eat then and quite frankly if you're looking forward to a night out in a restaurant, the alternative of sitting in a hotel room with a takeout just doesn't cut it. The staff claimed they had sent an email to let us know, but no email has appeared (and yes, I've checked the spam folder many times). We can only assume that the temptation of a last-minute group booking was too good to resist so we were ditched. Not very professional and not really how a decent restaurant should operate. Beware, you confirmed booking is not what it seems!

Lovely cosy restaurant, well decorated, good atmosphere. Food was really nice. We ordered the bhel puri for starters which was nice. For mains we had the lamb kalabhuna and tandoori platter, alongside a side of pulao rice, all of which were lovely. Staff were nice and friendly.

Came here for dinner, had chicken kadu and the other half had chicken biryani. Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere was lovely.

As a British Asian myself, I found the concept of dhaba style food completely brilliant, and I was very excited about my home visit. We ordered: railway lamb, pulao, meat thali, keema pav, pani puri, bhel puri and peshwari nan. My partner and I loved the food. However, I thought the railway lamb was too salty which didn't allow me to taste the spices. Also, I thought the white chicken korma (which, strictly speaking, is more festival food rather than dhaba cooking) was way too sweet verging on pudding. White chicken korma is Mughlai/Laknawi cuisine, and a staple of Bengali festival food. As a Bengali myself, I was looking forward to this more than the other dishes as I wanted to compare it with my own and my mother's recipes. It was very disappointing. The pani puris were delicious, but I prefer them to come prepared or, at least, with the hole in them. I broke two lol. Overall, though, this could just have been an unfortunate evening as the restaurant has achieved very high ratings. Two of my other friends have also visited this restaurant, and they gave it very positive reviews. So, on that basis, I would recommend. I just hope they hold back on the salt and reduce the sweetness of the korma. I would much rather taste cardamoms and nutmeg in a much thicker yoghurt sauce, which is how we Bengalis cook white chicken korma. The restaurant is very good value for money, and has a very cosy vibe. I would recommend early week outings if you prefer a quiet time. I can imagine it gets crowded at the weekend.

A very cozy place with a delicious indian meals. Super nice staff, excellent food and the best naan we have ever had. Worth visiting!

Three of us dined at the restaurant Yesterday .. we are seasoned spice fanatics however the food is on a different level for flavours and quality …. Wonderful friendly service Exquisite food I had minced lamb bun and the fish curry truly delicious I will return !!! Soon I hope !! Worth the detour to find !!

I prefer restaurants like this that replicate the home cooking vibe. I always go lamb curry when going for Indian food but based on my starter, I think the vegetarian dishes might be better and I’ll try those next time. Having chapati instead of naan was a nice change. Enjoyed the railway lamb dish but a tad salty. Mopping up the gravy and swigging a cobra (BYOB) was lovely. Prawn curry was solid, not a huge fan of the gravy taste but it’s still well made. It was quite humid so turning on the fans would have been nice. I managed to walk in on a Saturday evening which was surprising given so few seats available. I think they must get a lot of takeaway orders. No real push for service charge though I think that is represented in their relaxed service. My overall experience and for the price point, is a 4.5 hence why I’m not giving it 5.

Terrible service. Insisted we order mains before we had ordered entre. Food was really bad. Would not recommend this restaurant

Since this opened a few months ago I have been back 3 times with friends and family . It has the atmosphere of a modern restaurant /bar and serves delicious Indian Street food and fabulous cocktails. You’d normally have to go to Southhall in London to experience this kind of cooking and quality . Highly recommended and I believe they’re on to a winner here .

The flavours were so good especially the onion bhaji which was crispy and flavourful! The tikka masala was good and did have of a spice to it so perhaps if you prefer milder stuff you might want a korma. However I loved it and would definitely recommend! Amazing place a hidden gem!

I’ve lived in the area during the week for a couple of years and drive past this place twice a week. I finally decided to order a takeaway tonight and I’m gutted I didn’t do it sooner. The food was fresh and incredibly tasty and...

Friendly and accommodating staff, lovely decor and beautiful food. An amazing and unique dining experience. We will definitely be returning again..and again...and again.

I asked or insisted to keep the chicken tender please. The sauce was great (Naga 🔥) but the meat dry and heavy. Like an overcooked steak. Almost certainly reheated. I have Indian employees in my building and that’s what they told me. I should’ve listened....

Delicious genuine tasty food. I have travelled a lot in India and this place feels like a genuine dhaba. The prawns were absolutely delicious

As someone who was born in Delhi, I am constantly disappointed with the Indian restaurants in London. Dhaba has finally changed this. The Gelafi kebab and lamb chops were deliciously grilled in the tandoor, the chops arrived sizzling in the plate. We also enjoyed the...

They claimed a dish was vegan when it contained yogurt etc and watched me and my friend puke up 3 times.

I ordered from this restaurant on UberEats and to put it bluntly, it was awful. The food was cold, the delivery time changed after an hour and it tasted horrible. My main concern, however, is the business card that came with the food. As you...

We got a takeaway from Dhaba last week and loved it. It was tasty, reasonably priced and they had vegan naan, which was delicious!! Highly recommend.

Fantastic vegetarian Indian food! Very authentic - great for sharing too. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area

We are avid fans of Indian food, and have had many Indian takeaways in London. Often you're left feeling guilty and a bit dirty, because of overly sweet and excessively oily curries. This couldn't have been a fresher breath of air. Every dish was exceptional,...

Had a lockdown takeaway and the food was so tasty, really well spiced, good portion sizes and reasonable prices. Veggie and meat eaters were happy! Person who took our order was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely try them again. Soon!

We had a takeaway from Dhaba last night for the first time last night. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was outstanding and the portions were generous. I think this may become our Staurday night takeaway for the foreseeable future - something good to...

Small cosy restaurant run by the owners, great choice of authentic dishes at a very reasonable prices and very friendly service. Highly recommend it!

What an amazing addition to the Battersea restaurant scene. At last, a really good Indian restaurant that delivers in spades. Friendly, relaxed, and serving all kinds of delicious and flavoursome options. Some of the dishes here deliver some really unusual, but undeniably delicious, new taste...

Came here last year and it was very good - real flavours not English curry house. Coming down from Scotland next week and will be arranging a get together at what is now my favourite restaurant. Lovely people. All in all The Best.

Really enjoyed our first trip to Dhaba. Three generations of our family went. All loved the food, the decor and the service. Great value.

We found this small restaurant by chance & were really pleased that we did! The restaurant is only small but the food is absolutely delicious! It was fragrant & tasty & presented well. Although the restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol they were happy for us to...

Awesomeness!!!! Came here with a group of friends for a birthday dinner and none of us were disappointed. really delicious food, will definitely return to this one.

Group of 6 of us left our regular (weekly) Tooting curry houses to see what the fuss was about. Saturated by Punjabi cooking we needed some Bengali or South Indian relief and we found it. The cooking was truly excellent - fresh, packed with flavours,...

The quality of the food an service would put a lot of 5* restaurants to shame. We all had starters and the substantial Meat Thali dish that included a dessert - less than £22/pp. Only downside is they don't serve alcohol however you can take...

Bold title? I think not! Hands down the best Indian take away I've ordered in London. Ordered Chicken Jalfrezi, Chetinad lamb, pilaf rice, mushroom rice and naan and roti bread along with sag aloo and begum shorts (aubergine type dip) . Everything was spicey hot...

Excellent indian food in a comfortable setting at a great price. The menu includes both meat and vegetarian dishes.

The best authentic Indian food, I went with some Mexican friends and we all agree is the best Indian food we’ve ever had, and the service was great.

In London on business, staying in Battersea, did some research and found this place, glad we did. Been to India a few times and this place is authentic. We both had the meat thali, good portion & good value. They don’t sell alcohol so we...

Loved this little Indian place! The food was incredibly delicious and pleased our picky children as well as the adults. The staff was very friendly and helped with food selection. It is BYOB so we ran across the street to pick up some wine to...

We visited this cute little restaurant this evening with 4 adults and 4 children 6-12 The menu is excellent, the staff attentive even though busy, food came quickly and was outstanding... im not easy to please when eating out as i always think food you...

A+. Award given is absolutely justified. A shame they are so far away from our place. If we get the chance to visit London again we will return definitely...

Best Pav Bhaji outside of India! We stumbled across this little gem on our trip to London. Abz was very welcoming, as were the rest of the staff. We enjoyed every tasty dish put in front of us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place

We were actually looking for another Indian restaurant in the neighborhood when we came across Dhaba. The place has a lovely atmosphere, the food is absolutely delicious and the staff is incredibly attentive. We had an amazing meal, it was so filling we could hardly...

We were following an internet recommendation after we discovered our usual Indian restaurant was closed.... we walked and we walked and found Dhaba. Well! Only a few tables in an authentic street food style eatery with the cleanest tables and cosy relaxed feel. It’s BYO...

Looking in TripAdvisor for an Indian restaurant in Battersea area we found Dhaba and we wanted to try it. Actually it was a good trial and we enjoyed our dinner. The menu was clear and well explained, with spicy plates marked. After ordering we waited...

The food here is great and so well priced! The spicy chicken egg roll to start is an absolute must! The front of house guys are always happy to help and chat.

BYOB. Lovely staff and truly different and amazingly tasty food. Best curry I've had in years. Superb bread, not massive portions but it's so reasonable, who cares? Just order more. Fresh and vibrant ingredients and so far away from your normal bland run of the...

I've ordered from Dhaba a few times and it never disappoints. Full of flavour and the fact it doesn't feel greasy is such a pleasant surprise when you get a take-away. It's my go to now and such lovely customer service. Please dont change

Had a lovely meal. It was Relaxed, colourful, authentic. Plenty of food and reasonably priced. Need to bring your own alcohol which is fine.

I've been ordering delivery or visiting the place for nearly a year. They've been amazingly consistent in food quality and it's taste. You can ask for modifications like using paneer instead of chicken. Not to mention they make the best fresh Mango lasi in town!...

This is among the best Indian food I've ever tasted, and may even be the top of that pile! Lovely ambience, and very friendly, genuine people.

I have eaten a couple of curry houses and got takeaway from most- and to be fair they were alright but none have been as good as Dhaba. Kadai Chicken was great and the naan breads are top notch.

Over to London for weekend with my son for a football match. He loves his Indian food (as do I) we found this place on TripAdvisor & booked based on reviews. We now know why it is so highly regarded, superb food served by people...

The food was yummy and excellent service and packaging. Price reasonable. The food arrived on time and it was exactly as I instructed. Also they were mindful to keep bhel puri savory in separate container to avoid it becoming soggy. Food portions are great too.

This restaurant is opposite Battersea Library not far from the train station, The ambiance is nice, the staffs are very friendly and helpful on advising on dishes. The menu is nice and simple, I had Road Side Biriyani and it was delicious also its gluten...

Ordered in food through Just Eats at 7:15 PM given and estimated delivery time of 8:35. After calling the restaurant at 9:00 pm , food finally arrived at 9:25. I completely understand that life happens and sometimes things go wrong. but don't lie to your...

We have eaten here on several occasions and the food is always absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka 3 ways is my favourite! It is so great to have something that differs from the ordinary Indian take away.

Bored of your usual Indian? Me too. Those Garam masalas and Jalzfrezis are so 1990. This place is authentic as it is niche. The food is simply sexual, it makes my tongue feel like carnival in Rio - think lurid costumes and sensual dancing. A...

Had such a lovely evening - age range 1 year to 87 - on Saturday. Staff could not have been more helpful and the food was just lovely. I had the spicy egg roll (slight misnomer with the egg ... ) which was a fabulous...

Great menu - quality food with great flavour. Service was excellent. It’s bring your own drink, buy your wine in Tesco opposite, v easy. Incredible value. I would highly recommend

We reached there around 945 PM on Fri eve and restaurant dead empty - no customers at all. Waiter told us that they were very busy in the eve and it just got quiet. We thought again but gave it a go...we were the only...

Excellent recommendations to try new dishes last night; Dhaba is a cosy, fresh place to eat. Cool decor, relaxing and friendly staff who really want you to try and enjoy new dishes that suit your palette. PS bring your own booze!

Visited this restaurant with family and friends on recommendation of a family member who lives nearby. We were not disappointed. 7 of us descended and we were happily accommodated by the owner who immediately pushed tables together for us. We were treated to many culinary...

It’s run by a Bangladeshi team and not Indian so taste is no where close to Punjabi food. Dal tadka is made of mung bean and sweetish. Roti and Nan are fluffy and taste bad. Not at all worth a visit. Used to be cheap...

Truly excellent meal at Dhaba last night combined with friendly chat with waiters at points - made a great end to a good night out!

Awesome little place with great decor, excellent service and a unique, delicious menu that you don't find elsewhere. Lovely, friendly staff and a local vibe. This place is top!!!

Would highly recommend! We ordered takeaway and the food was prepared quickly, it tasted delicious and the staff were very accommodating for my needs (I’m vegan). Will definitely be returning soon!

Excellent work in culinary skill worth more than words to describe. I would highly recommend Dhaba to anyone wanting to taste genuine Indian cuisine. The owner is very sociable, and the food is appetising.

After walking past this place for a few months we finally gave it a go tonight...and we weren’t disappointed! The food was absolutely delicious, authentic and with a personal twist that makes it stand out from generic Indian restaurants. The owner is also very attentive...

Visiting my daughter and she said we should try this small family operated restaurant just up the road from where she lives. Excellent authentic style food at a reasonable price .Will go again

Meal was fantastic, staff were attentive and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Indian cuisine.

Third visit. Third time the food has been good. Friendly owner, nice atmosphere and value for money. Recommend it.

I was intrigued by this little restaurant when it opened a few months ago in Battersea and decided to give it a try based on the amazing reviews I had seen. Well it completely lived up to and exceeded my expectations! Firstly, the restaurant itself...

We found this little place and were immediately transported to a street food restaurant in Delhi. Loved the surroundings, and the food was great! Really friendly staff and reasonably priced. Will definitely be going there again.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Amazing, interesting menu, relaxed and very friendly staff, really personal and food is just bursting with flavour. I love the atmosphere, decor and music too. Everyone should try this place!

I'm not that into the idea of "street food". If I'm in a restaurant, why not have the good stuff? Turns out, at Dhaba, street food IS the good stuff. Their food is refreshingly different from the usual Anglicised Indian fare. Garlic features strongly, as...

First and foremost Amir and his staff are very nice humble people. They treat their clients with utmost respect and very intereactive! The food is excellent with very eccentric flavors ranging from mild to hot for those who crave the challenge or no spiciness for...

Tasty Indian cuisine. Good and friendly service. I can absolutely recommend it. It is absolutely worth a visit.

Lucky enough to stay close by and have Amir’s Dhaba recommended by friends. The menu is compact and desirable. My food has always been cooked to a great standard with care taken over taste, spices and blending ingredients carefully. Just talking to Amir you will...

Amazing food and friendly owner I was first wondering if it would be worth the price but it exceeded my expectations and was worth it. No wonder this place has such good reviews

This place was a massive find during our brief trip to London. We were house hunting around the area and stopped for lunch since it was really the only place around and we were starving. We had the chicken Masala, which normally we don’t like...

We had an early dinner at Dhaba, and the food was delicious. We ordered lamb biriyani, tadka dal (lentils) and Murgh Masaledar. It was plenty and well prepared. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Happy we are close by, because we'll be back regularly.

Incredible food! We got the thali (one meat one veg) and as you can see they were huge and amazing. We are now happily food-comatose.

Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended. We had a mixture of chicken and lamb with black dhal. Was delicious

Small friendly restaurant with Nice spicy Food at an honest price! Worth the visit! The vegetarian platter is Great, variabele tastes & textures. Refreshing 👍

Amazing food! Great little restaurant close to Battersea Park, extremely tasty food at great price. We had the chicken briyani and vegetarian thali both superb! Great menu choices - Would definitely recommend, check it out for yourself.

Visited with family last night. Amir is an excellent and friendly host and the food was fantastic. We will definitely be returning soon. Thank you.

Very very tasty... Superb Three Way Tikka. Everything really good. Much better than any similar restaurants around the local are. Relaxed and good price!

I would recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh and tasty Indian food at a great price. The dishes are delicious and when I requested a side dish that was not on the menu, my request was met and it was just as yummy...

Attended Dhaba street food with my family which included small children. We were made to feel very welcome. The table service was excellent and they couldn’t do more for us. The food was very reasonably priced, very well presented and tasted incredible. The flavours and...

The food was really very good. Fresh and tasty. The nan that was served with the food was warm, sweet and fluffy. Personnel was very friendly. We really enjoyed eating here. Just go here and you definitely won’t regret!

I have ordered from a handful of favourite Indian takeaways over the years but dhaba is a diamond in the rough! Fantastic chef skills are evident through the balance of chillies and spices - wonderful flavours abound mingled with the heat. Every dish ordered was...

It was the first time I tried this restaurant and I must say that it was absolutely amazing! The staff were very friendly and the food was very different, nothing like what I’ve normally had at an Indian restaurant! I was pleasantly surprised and will...

Newly opened restaurant opposite Battersea Library, The ambiance is nice, the staffs are very friendly and helpful on advising on dishes. The menu is nice and not confusing, I had Mumbai roadside biriyani and it was delicious also its gluten free. The restaurant has a...

Unique type of food. Loved the taste and the service was amazing and very friendly. You must visit here.
