Doosra in Kingston upon Thames

Visited this evening for dinner with old friends. The food was phenomenal. Maybe the best curry, the staff were patient, attentive and offered recommendations. The manager Vinnie was welcoming and friendly. Thank you for the great evening! Will be returning!

Food was faultless, beautifully cooked and presented..

Amazing Indian with a shorter menu than a traditional curry house, but where every dish is something they excel at

Just had a takeaway from Deliveroo. The meal was prepared very quickly and delivered by a smiling driver. The food was excellent - fresh, tasty and delivered in compostable packaging. Will definitely order from here again

What a hidden gem !!! One of the nicest curries I have ever had. Fresh authentic food, with excellent service.

Food is good but behave of the owner is not good even i got a hair few days ago in there food when i order for delivery

Amazing from start to end. Best Indian food I have ever had and welcoming and engaged staff. Can highly recommend it to both vegan and meat eaters

We tried reserving a table for dinner. Shocked to learn they don’t allow toddlers after 1900hrs. What a shame!

Tried to make a booking on the phone for a table larger than 6. The website is unable to accept bookings and so it advises to call or email. I did so and had a very abrupt and condescending answer to a very polite request, responding that I should check the website and book online. As soon as I said that I was following the online booking systems instructions which doesn't allow to take larger bookings, he realised he was incorrect and quickly apologised. However, it wasnt a pleasant customer experience so sadly won't be making a reservation any time soon.

Called today to book a table for the family and told them we will need a high chair for my 2 years old. They told me they don’t allow toddlers after 7 as toddlers cry and disturb other customers. This is really disturbing as of course I won’t ever visit this restaurant.

I went with friends for the first time and had a wonderful time. The food was of exceptionally high quality. I had a lamb curry that tasted amazing, very tender and just about right for my spice level. My friends had a selection of starters and a curry to share and they commented all were delicious. Despite ordering too much (the portions were generous), we polished it all off! The bill was very reasonable too. The service was professional, attentive and friendly. I also left a personal item in the restaurant without knowing and they posted it back to me which was amazing - thank you! An all round 5 star evening. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious food. Friendly service. To top it off the manager contacted us to say we’d lost some property and very kindly posted the item to us! Will definitely be visiting again. Our new Indian!

High quality, authentic dishes served with a twist. Nourishing ingredients and delicate layered flavours. The vegetarian samosas are to die for so is the tilapia. We had the tanzanien lamb curry and chicken Malai / butter chicken and garlic naan with Merlot to compliment them- all stunning. Can’t wait to go back. Excellent value for money.

I enjoyed the Chicken Samosas as a starter and then having the Fish Bajia. As a drink I had a Mango Lassi and a Lemonade. For my main course I had a Murgh Makhani with rice and the Garlic and Coriander butter Naan. The only way it would have been better is if I could eat it every day! I will definitely be coming back here soon. My favourite place!!!

Always a great meal and service. Lots of regulars every time we go for dinner - a local favourite!

6/5 stars! Very happy we found this place, if not annoyed we didn't find it sooner. We seemed to be the only people there that weren't returning customers. Great vibes, staff were happy even if it was busy. Food is to die for. Go for the Fish Bhajia and try the Lamb Tanzanian curry. We'll be back.

Wonderful food. The banana chocolate and coconut samosa is a 1st class dessert.

Ewell Rd Surbiton best kept secret !!! The best Indian food london has to offer right here in Surbiton. Blown away by the flavours and tender meat. Highly recommended….. see you soon !!

This is one of the best Indian restaurants in London. Its menu changes often and there aren't many things you will recognise from a high street BIR curry house. Instead, there is a selection of interesting dishes which the owner is happy to explain and which are all delicious.

Limited menu but what they do is fantastic. We had a variety of starters and the then the Chicken Makhani and the Lamb Tanzania. The latter was tender and pretty hot but so well balanced.

What an absolute gem.......London high quality right here on the Ewell rd. the quality and flavours of the food were outstanding. My only regret is I didn't find it sooner. cannot wait to get back here thank you so much everyone at Doosra. !!

The service experience is really slow, if you come at the restaurant and you won’t expect to get food for at least 45 mins, just think about that!

Consistently outstanding food. Fresh, modern and beautifully cooked. The fish pakora is exceptional. My new local hero.

Food was amazing, my partner said it was the best curry she has had for years. Staff were very friendly. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend and definitely return.

This place is extra special. The best Indian food I have ever tasted. Like sent from heaven - not Surbiton! It’s Indian with a flavour of East Africa, with the dishes being dreamed up by the owner and total foodie Vinny, such as delicious Tandoori Padron Peppers as a starter. He is always there and helps serve at the tables. He is very welcoming and his passion for his food shines through. Try the Fish Bhajia as a starter, or the Samosas. For mains go for the butter chicken, Murgh Makhani or Tanzanian Lamb. To end, the chocolate, banana and coconut Samosas are to die for! There is draft Cobra and bottled Tusker Lager from Kenya. We left a cash tip and he immediately gave it to his waiter and chef. Such a good guy and such a good place. You will not be disappointed!

We had padron peppers (loved the Asian twist) and small poppadum with lovely dense fresh yoghurt and a delicious salsa followed by Lamb Sag (excellent) and Tanzanian lamb curry which was so dense and tasty we ate far more than was actually good for us. The service was a tiny bit slow (but our drinks came fast enough for us to be happy to while away some time) but extremely sweet-natured and friendly. We will definitely return.

Delicious, mouth watering food! My Punjabi mum is an amazing cook but the authenticity at Doosra gives my mum's home-cooked Indian food a run for its money (as well as Gymkhana and Jamavar). I hope you go from strength to strength, Doosra! Ps. The padrón peppers are so good!

Great restaurant with excellent service and food. First time eating Indian for our kids and they loved it.

Great food, good value and superb service. Our waiter was super helpful with explaining the menu and gave some great recommendations. I'd 100% recommend this place to anyone. We are looking forward to returning. The butter chicken and lamb curry recommended were both incredible

Absolutely excellent innovative mainly Indian cooking with other interesting influences. This was our first visit here although we did have takeaways during the lockdown and discovered how wonderful their lamb samosas were. Friendly helpful staff, a relatively small menu, which I think is a good thing, some excellent dishes. The Tandoori Padron peppers were a new dish to us. The Samosa chat as good as ever. The beluga Dahl was very good with the red kidney beans being an interesting addition. The Tandoori chicken three ways was tender and perfectly balanced. The naan was light (we chose Olive Oil rather than butter) slightly crispy, and very tasty. Overall really really good.

Great food and take away was smooth. We ordered a variety of tandoori dishes and curry. Great garlic naan also. The mini poppadams are recommended too. Easy online ordering system. Also food is packaged in recyclable paper boxes, a nice touch for the environment.

The Doosra offering just keeps getting better and better. The addition of the tandoori pardon peppers and the chicken samosas has made a great dining experience even better. We have always been fans on the existing samosas, vegetarian, lamb and vegetarian special, but the new chicken samosa is another triumph. The pardon peppers were so good that we had them both as an appetiser and with our main course. We also love the tandoori chicken wings and the fish bhaji. The cauliflower Sabzi was delicious too. For dessert don’t miss the pistachio kulfi, flavoured with saffron and if they have it, the delicious mango kulfi, both served on sticks! Add to that Vinny’s infectious enthusiasm, you have a winning combination. The best restaurant in the Kingston/Surbiton area by a mile!

Absolutely delicious food. Went with my husband and enjoyed ot so much we went back the next night with my sister and her husband!! Everything we tried was perfectly spiced and made with care. Thank you.

Fresh, flavoursome and unique. Our starters were outstanding. I loved the tandoori padron peppers and the fish dish was too good to be true. Jude and the manager looked after us well and brought their own personality and passion out. We will be back again very soon!

Modern in decor, friendly staff (Jude and the owner).but wow to the food! We had samosas: vegetarian and lamb, chilli chips then a chef special lamb dish and chicken murg, veg pilau rice and chilli nan. All beautifully cooked and so tasty. We will be coming every time we are in London. It is so important to support these magnificent independent restaurants. Thank you Doosra 😊

Wow! Fine dining quality served in an easy, casual cafe style. Everything we had was scrumptious. A good hit of chili in all dishes that did not impede the delicious flavours. The pickle tray was truly magnificent- a refreshing chili/coriander, homemade real mango chutney and a think yoghurt mint sauce. We ordered different starters and shared. I would recommend on your first visit to try more options. For mains we tried both lamb dishes and the chicken makhani. The makhani was creamy and rich with soft tandoori chicken tikka but not kormaesque. It had a good after kick and all the sauce got mopped up with a roti. The lamb and spinach was tasty and comforting. Again a pleasant after burn and lots of flavour. The Tanzanian lamb was the winner for me. A thick rich sauce with soft tender lamb. Next time I’ll order a veg dish as a side. Cobra on draught. We will be returning very soon …

Absolutely love this place! The food is brilliant! Tender and flavorful meat in curry, mild spicy dishes which is great for people who can’t eat very spicy food like me. My favourite starter is garlic mogo chips with toppings. Thank you so much!

Absolutely stunning Indian food, curries can't be beaten for miles. The pistachio kulfi dessert couldn't have hot the spot better on a hot day.

An excellent early evening meal for the three of us ( including our two year old). Food was outstanding and the service and welcome too. Great selection of food and will be back soon

Wonderful meal at Doosra Indian Restaurant in Surbiton last night. We could be in Best Curry Ever territory! Fish Bhajia starter then Tanzanian Lamb Curry and Cauliflower Gobi with buttered Tandoori Roti with draft Cobra and bottled Tusker Kenyan lager. Wonderful food, all about flavour and not just spicy heat, a great interior design and really friendly owner. A must visit restaurant! 😎🥘🍺

Very very good overall experience. We went with high hopes having read the reviews and were not disappointed. Excellent service was bettered only by perfectly spiced dishes with just the right amount of kick if requested. Sadly we don't live locally to it but are agreed it was well worth the journey and will return soon. Highly recommended.

Great food but think they need to teach the waiter basic customer service skills so doesn’t feel like you’re talking to a robot

Debating over two or three stars here. Food was good overall. Starter and lamb curry good. However portions were really 2/3 at best of what you'd expect in similar places (with also good food) - kind of between a tapas and a main size, almost. Speed of service of main was really bad...perhaps around 45 minutes. The gentleman who greeted us referred I think to staffing issues. I believe lots of places are having this challenge however it was depressing sitting hungry and watching loads of deliveroo esque/takeout orders go out from the kitchen.... possibly prioritise customers who have come in?

Would definitely return, best restaurant I've been to in a while in the area. Such good food and the staff were authentic and friendly. Thanks so much!

Best curry in the area and great value for money. Very tasty, light and fresh ingredients. Top quality food in a local restaurant for local prices. Also friendly staff.

Very good food and friendly service

Amazing food and wonderful service, absolutely love this place :)

Great dishes can't fault the place. Had the lamb curry, honestly the best I've had in forever. Hidden gem worth a visit 😁

Just simply the best Indian food you can find! Every dish is delicious and very balanced, not too spicy just perfect you'll enjoy every bite!

This place is special. Brilliant food consistently delivered week on week. Great quality of ingredients, brilliantly prepared and just a delicious meal. Never disappoints. Highly, highly recommended.

Went for a meal with my husband and I was blown away with the food like I say just amazing,so fresh the flavours are just fantastic so is the setting and staff they can’t do enough for you so friendly and very welcoming,I wouldn’t be...

I am so lucky to have this gem on our doorstep, Vinny is a ledge and the food is absolutely fantastic.

Had a great evening at doosra with the family. The food was amazing every dish packed with flavour. My brother in law is vegan and really enjoyed the vegan food and the many options. The waiters are very polite and helpful.

Excellent food and atmosphere on both visits. Love the cashew nut dish and lots of vegetarian choices. Will definitely return!

Very friendly service and well organised….manager was always ensuring that the clients were happy with there food and advising what dish would be best

After I moved to France in February this year, one of the only things I craved about being away from England was Doosra curry. I’m back for a short holiday and top of my list of things to do was to order curry by post,...

Such tasty freshly made food, and friendly and helpful service.

This place gives any place in central London a run for it's money. Incredibly fresh food, beautifully spiced, with an interesting menu, extremely personal service and they even use eco-friendly packaging with their takeaway menu.

Always an exceptional meal from here. One of the best Indian restaurants. Dishes are inventive and full of flavour.

Absolutely superb meal. First time visit but will definitely be back. The menu is quite short but plenty to choose from. We had Samosa Chaat, Mogo Chips, Moradabadi Dahl and Saag Paneer. Each was outstanding and tasted really fresh, with clear flavours. Can’t wait to...

The best food, fresh and absolutely delicious. On par with Chutney Mary and Hoppers. So happy to have discovered this gem. Please don’t become too popular!

I’ve had takeaways from here before and each and every one of them have been faultless. Tonight, I dined in with four friends and can genuinely say it’s the best “curry” you’ll ever eat. The food is fresh, light, and the service is friendly and attentive. I’m blown away by the food and will be returning soon. Thank you!

Doosra provided a delivery service across London 5* for advised delivery time 5* for Environmentally friendly packaging including foot containers 5* for reheating /cooking instructions 5* food experience

We had a fantastic meal with friends at Doosra last night. We'd been meaning to try it for a while, as we'd heard great reports and we were not disappointed. The tilapia starter and Tanzanian Lamb main were out of this world. Also the cashew...

We received a box via DPD in pristine condition. The food was carefully packaged and chilled with ice packs. We had a variety of chicken, lamb and vegetarian dishes. The quality was exceptional. Flavours were incredible, not overly hot, just bursting with flavour. Cannot recommend Doosra highly enough.

Beautifully prepared food, served by the knowledgeable friendly team. A more interesting Indian resturant.

Excellent food and service Chicken wings superb

Came for the Pav Bhaji, great twist on a favourite dish of mine. All the starters we had were delicious, tasted fresh and just the right amount of spiciness. Will be bringing the kids next time! Chocolate samosas are a must try as well.

Just ate the Tanzanian Lamb Curry. Absolutely delicious especially with a Tiger beer. So lucky having this amazing restaurant on my doorstep.

Had dinner here with friends last night, my first visit, but definitely not my last. We had a wonderful meal; everything was so fresh and tasty, with a great selection of vegetarian options. Afterwards we stayed for ages chatting with the lovely staff. We had...

Great Indian food, we had some vegetarian options for take out which were great. Impressed by the bio degradable packaging too.

We loved Doosra pre lockdown and it’s safe to say that it’s still as enjoyable and delicious experience. I ordered a takeaway for a family celebration which worked out as an incredibly reasonable £10 a head. The food was as always, fresh, interesting and also...

Delicious food and run by lovely people! Can’t recommend enough

The taste speaks for itself, you can tell they are using good ingredients. We absolutely love this place.

Tried it for the 1st time today after being recommended by friends. I've been to numerous Indian restaurants before but hands down to this one, food is packed with flavours and taste buds we're flying with every bite! Had the pleasure as well to meet the owner while was waiting for my takeaway, such a beautiful person! Well done guys, will be back for sure!

This probably is the most authentic delicious Indian food around. Unassuming restaurant but terrific food. Can’t fault it

Excellent meal and service. Wife's vegetarian were very good and my chicken tikka starter and methi chicken were excellent. Definitely recommend.

Went there last night , for the first time , with my wife and vegan son . The host was absolutely wonderful, very welcoming and recommended dishes for us to try . We all had something different , and from starters to mains , everything...

Just one word .. excellent food , great service , short menu including vegan choices.. probably the best Indian within miles

Small restaurant, short menu- What real Indian home cooking is all about!!! I loved it!

The Best! We have tried numerous Indian restaurants in the local area and high end in London. This for us is the best there is! The food is so delicious and doesn’t give you that awful feeling after eating it! Extremely clean and friendly service! The flavours are amazing! I cannot rate this place enough! Highly recommend!

Having read the Sunday Times article in 2020 and the praise and positive review I wanted to try it out. Went there this evening, but quite disappointed. The so called “Tanzanian style lamb curry” was mediocre at £12.45, the sauce was reasonable but the lamb...

We love the food from Doosra, so different to our other regular Prithi. Menu changes regularly and great vegan options, recommended

The food is 10/10. I recommend the mango chutney and the mango kulfi. Both are homemade. Excellent service and it’s a great vibe.

The food was excellent the chicken wings are the best the food is seasoned perfectly customer service was excellent

They were very friendly and the food was all fantastic. It was great to see a selection of dishes beyond the typical indian fare and we had trouble choosing which to have because they all looked so good. We will be back to try the others.

Amazing food and menu. Owner was very friendly and we loved his recommendations. Portions are smaller than in a "typical" Indian restaurant, but that's not a bad thing! The food was delicious, felt authentic, and i walked away feeling full and happy! :-)

After so many five star reviews we were disappointed. The Lamb samosas had little taste and the raita was stringy , fresh mango chutney didn’t taste of mango? The main course butter chicken with a slick of cream was over rated and only the heat...

Excellent thanks Vinny everyone on at Doosra so helpful recommend fabulous dishes we had a lovely meal and evening

The food here is excellent. The menu looks daunting and a little unusual for what you might expect but everything we ate was delicious. Portions are a little small for the mains but otherwise it was well worth it and we will definitely return to eat-in.

Just arrived without booking, they fitted us in next to the window, nice atmosphere, friendly, tasty food.

We are quite particular when it comes to Indian food and being from north west London originally nothing compares in the south west (esp if you don’t want a dodgy stomach the next day) but now we have finally have this lovely place that can...

My favorite Indian food in Greater London, hands down. Very unique offering, generous portions without being overwhelming and fantastic flavors. I highly recommend the Fish Bahjia, Mathi Malai Murgh (and I don't even like chicken that much!) and Gobi Mutter Sabzi, but, in truth, everything is delicious and there's no chance of ever ordering the wrong thing.

Excellent Indian food cooked from fresh ingredients. What a fantastic addition to Surbiton. Every dish we had was well balanced and executed with care and attention, starting from the fresh coriander chutney and going right through to the sublime pistachio kulfi. The Tanzanian Lamb Curry...

The food was amazing. The Tanzanian lamb was perfection, full of flavours without being overpowering. Easily the best Indian in Surbiton. A must try gem if you enjoy quality food, fresh ingredients and excellent service.

I've eaten at Doosra many times it's my cousin and mines favourite in the area, I've always loved the food and so hired the tandoori bbq for a hen weekend. It was a great experience, delivered to the door, easy to follow instructions and the meats were brilliantly marinated, the whole thing was so authentic and much tastier and easier then your average british bbq. Everyone loved it! Thank you

Warm hospitality, attentive service and excellent food - all you need from an evening out.

I hadn't been to Doosra before but had heard very good things and was excited to go for a friend's birthday. The food was really incredible. I keep dreaming about the cashew nut dish and the fried Okra! If you want something really special -...

Highly recommend the food from here, certainly quality over quantity.... we are repeat customers and would say it's the best curry in Surbiton. Lots of different choices from your standard menu,...try the cashew nut dish, okra fingers or cassava chips - delicious! Also dined in the other day for a friends birthday and the team couldn't have been any more helpful. Covid safe and clean too.
