Elachi in Lewisham

Ordered a takeaway which was accepted. Money is taken and then the order is rejected 10 minutes later! Says money will be returned within 5 days. If you can’t deliver then don’t take the money!!!

Lovely food, great manager and waiter; always made to feel very welcome. Been several times now and try different things each time - haven't been disappointed at all. Very tasty and excellent value. They clearly have a busy take-away/delivery service and could do with more people occupying the restaurant itself. Will very happily return.

Amazing amazing food and the atmosphere was absolutely unreal. Definately recommend this place and the vegan menu was something like I’ve never tried before.

This is an old restaurant that has been closed for many years. Follow us on Instagram:Elachi__se23 Google: Elachi SE23 for our reviews

Tried this nee restaurant out and I must say, I left feeling so satisfied. The food was great quality- my favourites were the lamb chops and bouncing potatoes! Service was of high quality and the staff were totally on hand. I would recommend this for a great tasting evening out.

Have visited this restaurant on many occasions but never ordered it to be delivered. Found it just as good with good sized portions and it arrived hot

Great food and really tasty plus it was nice and hot ! Thank you

Food was okay but the portions were wayyy too small!

Tomando en consideración los comentarios mezclados para este restaurante, mi familia y yo pensamos que nos gustaría ver por nosotros mismos la calidad.A la llegada, nos llevaron a una mesa rápidamente - sólo había una pareja presente, así que uno se pregunta si la reserva hubiera sido necesario.Bebidas y papadums estaban ordenados mientras nos examinamos el menú, que contenía todos los viejos favoritos además de una amplia selección de platos nuevos, me encantó ver un lista completa de cócteles también.La comida llegó y era extremadamente sabrosa y caliente y estuvimos bastante pensamiento positivo pensamientos sobre este nuevo hallazgo pero luego. . . . . . . . . . . . La factura fue presentada, sin aplomo ni petición en 10 horas. (Tenga en cuenta que el sitio web de unidos abre hasta la medianoche).Un poco confundidos, pedimos cafés que fueron debidamente presentadas, pagamos y luego a la izquierda.Ahora, no puedo culpar al solitario camarero para quieren cerrar temprano, después de todo éramos las únicas personas allí, pero no están en desacuerdo con la actitud mostrada durante toda la noche y hosco el francamente mala educación de tener una factura y 3 minutos pusieron en frente de nosotros dos horas antes de la hora designada de cierre. Incluso cuando nos fuimos, no tuvo la gentileza de llevarnos a la puerta (no es un gran problema pero inusual).No hace falta decir que no tienen ese cóctel.

3 hours late food was cold part of the order missing

Restaurant added on 20 mins then was 30 mins late on top. Not happy.

Bland, fairly tasteless. Wouldn't order again

Food was great could not complain and the delivery guy was funny .

Great value for money food was hot and tasty with generous portions - would definitely order again!

The food is fine and the delivery a bit slow. Not something you’d regret but nothing to write home about either. Adequate and a bit expensive.

Delicious, fresh, tasty, spicy but not too strong, rogan josh full of fresh tomatoes, great samosas. Great that you get a choice of accompaniments with the biriyani rather than just getting the regular curry you usually get, so I was able to have my favourite tarka saag daal. Lovely smooth raita. All excellent. Will definitely order from Elachi again.

Visitamos Elachi ya que estamos en la zona. Un hombre en la mesa comenzó a hacer bromas racistas y cuando lo detuve al respecto, salió del restaurante. El mesero me dijo que acababa de perderlo. Expliqué la situación y él estaba muy enojado conmigo. Entonces decidimos irnos. En este punto, solo habíamos pedido comida y aún no ha llegado. Dije que nos íbamos ya que el servicio fue vergonzoso. El camarero dijo que solo si pagamos nuestros platos principales, estaba feliz de pagar las bebidas y los aperitivos ya que los habíamos consumido. ¡Dijo que no y llamó a la policía! Otros clientes vinieron en nuestra defensa y también se marcharon porque no podían creer la ignorancia del camarero y la gerencia. ¡Mantenerse alejado!

Restaurant customer service - diabolical, food was scheduled for 7.30pm after having to phone the restaurant three seperate times (was kept hanging on the phone for over ten minutes for them to eventually return and put the phone down is not ok, the third time I phoned - they just said well just cancel your order then) I had paid upfront so not impressed. Food turned up approx 2 hours after ordering, would not use again.

Very disappointed with the delivery time. Even more disappointed with the quality of food. Tasteless. Popadoms were soft. Chicken pasanda was tasteless. Bombay potatoes were like boiled potatoes with no flavour. Onion baji was a mass of fried something. Not as you would expect. We ate half and binned the rest. If you love INDIAN food then I suggest you look for another vendor as this one is nothing like what it portrays. Very very disappointed

Food was great but they forgot our poppadoms. I called but they didn't send us a replacement or refund the money 😕

Food is always brilliant and good value, service is distinctly average.

Really nice food ....early delivery was annoying as I wasn’t at home but luckily someone was in to receive it. Otherwise would it have been left outside?

Everything tasted nice generally. Chicken was a bit dry in the chicken Korma

First time trying this place and the food was great, will definitely order again. It arrived early, tasty and hot! My only criticism was the delivery driver knocked on my door after I left a delivery note specifically asking him to call my phone and not knock to avoid waking up my housemates. Had that not happened I would have given them 6 stars!

we ordered bhindi bhaji, saag aloo, rogan josh, vindaloo and rice. It was delicious

Delicious food as always, delivered earlier than scheduled. Elachi is a cut above the average Indian takeaway!

Fantastic quality food and very quick delivery. Thank you very much!

The vindaloo was wack. Vindaloo its supposed to be spicy. Mine wasn't. It was like chunks of lamb in plain sauce. It tasted mild which was really upsetting for my first time eating "a really spicy dish"

Really good food. Good flavour. Arrived within stated time.

Fab food so tasty enjoyed ***** 😄

Food came on time but the korma tastes like the stuff you get in a jar from tescos and they just added chicken. Its not sweet or coconut flavoured enough

The guy on the phone was seriously rude, other than that food was good

The food was great. But, the delivery was 15 mins early. We asked that the delivery driver didn't ring the doorbell or it would wake the baby. This was ignored. The baby was woken up. Will order straight from the restaurant next time and pick up myself.

Really great as always, fresh, delicious and cooked perfectly! Best Indian I've ever tried. Thanks.

Enjoyed the. Food. And. Service Lamb. Chicken veggie. Sauces. All tasty. Lovely cooking Reasonably priced

Delivery service fast and fresh. Recommend the meat Thali. Have eaten in only once but was really good too.

Very pleasant food.. ready on time!

Really decent food. Collection time ended up being 10 minutes late but we had a large order for 2, so I think you've got to give a bit of slack for that. Only gripe was cold samosas. But other than that, ace.

10mins late, no rice, no answer from restaurant

The food was really nice. Just spoke to the restaurant about a mix up with the price charged (delivery driver seemed to say the cost was £19 something when it was £13 something so I ended up giving over £6 as a tip which is not what I would have done) and they were extremely friendly and offered food or a refund of the differencnce. They have agreed to refund me despite this happening a few days ago. Really good of them considering I should have checked!

Took over two hours for delivery. Was promised 50% discount on next order when spoke to restaurant after 1 hour 30 minute wait, no discount voucher or anything else with order when delivered. Food is pretty good, rest is not.

Food was 45 minutes late and the person on the phone phone really rude and hanging up the phone in mid conversation. The food is really nice but I'll think again before ordering next time.

Not bad, menu is a little confusing so ended up ordering something wrong but was still pretty good. Sag aloo wasn't very nice though..

Great food, reliable, efficient service.

Much faster than expected and great food

Food was really good grill combine was fantastic I'm going to order again

Very good food and flexible with order changes

Garlic chillie lamb dish was very tasty lots of tender pieces of lamb. lamb chop starter was excellent too really happy with the quality of the lamb and ingredients used.

Left a message for the restaurant in the comments section asking for mint sauce but was ignored, popadom was burnt and clearly re-cooked as it was an old one. Very disappointed with the service

The "Grill Combine" was really bad the vegetables were burn and had a strange taste :-( Saag daal and the chicken were okay

Really really delicious chicken balti

The food came earlier than requested

Este es un restaurante al que siempre vuelven cuando vuelvo de visita de los padres. Tiene un ambiente tan relajado y agradable personal. La comida siempre ha sido genial también. Cada vez que voy me intenta conseguir algo diferente y estoy aún a decepcionar. La comida es un precio razonable también.

As always, excellent food, excellent delivery time. Will always order curry from Elachi.

I love Elachi! Been ordering from here for years and will continue to do so.

the rice was nice but the curries and potatoes had no taste to them what so ever tasted of water not happy at all it was my wife's birthday and she fancied a curry

The lamb was cooked to perfection very flavoursome and succulent. The spice was perfect with juicy lamb. I'm not really a big fan of Indian cuisine but they hit the spot will definitely be ordering again, on the plus side food came ten minutes early.

It was really excellent food.its really delicious.just perfect

The rogan josh was the worst I've ever tasted, very little lamb and what there was was tough. Sauce tasted of nothing other than it was hot. Garlick prawns should have read 'prawn' as there was only one!!!

Al aceptar el hecho de que los sábados por la noche son ocupados, tuvimos una muy larga (más de una hora) para una comida que estar preparado y entregado.Había una pregunta sobre un artículo cuando se renovara orden era volver y luego una confirmación no estaba terminada, resultando en último punto no haber sido registrados (parece bastante un lento proceso de ordenador).Cuando llegamos, no estaba muy caliente, presumiblemente de varias entregas el conductor estaba haciendo. No puede evitar tener heladas botellas de Cobra en la misma bolsa como comida caliente - la comida fresca, más que por el calentamiento Cobra.El sabor de la comida era buena, pero estábamos desesperados por el tiempo en que llegamos.Decepcionante por lo que normalmente es un restaurante bastante bueno.

Food delicious. Arrived on time. No problem recommending Elachi.

Always lovely food. Generous portions.

Nice quality food would defiantly order again in the future

Great food as always and quick delivery.

Typical take-away Indian type food. Tasty but fatty. Good value given the prompt delivery.

Best curry EVER!!!!! Its such a shame Elachi doesn't do a Sunday buffet for a couple of hours like most places in Duliwich as there is no competition in this area for Elachi. Forest Hill is very much an up and coming area and with the Railway Telegraph nest door it makes for a good Sunday out!

Not good at all! Food ordered for 11.30pm delivery. When it arrived at 10.15, I explained that my housemate shouldn't wouldn't be home until 11.30, and as I had specifically asked for that delivery slot, I wasn't prepared for the food to sit out for over an hour before re-heating. The man handed me the food and said he would come back at 11.30pm. I thought with a fresh meal, as was asked for. He arrived back at 11.30, took the bag off me and went to get into his car. When I said I was expecting a replacement meal, he laughed and said that no, his offering had been the bag to keep the food warm for the hour before my housemate got home. Said I wasn't happy. He said there was nothing he could do, as the restaurant is now closed. He finally offered a 50% discount on a future meal, but that he couldn't promise this as he would have to speak to others about it. He was also reluctant to give us the receipt attached to the order as he said it wasn't 'necessary'. Real shame, because the food is delicious. But with service like that, I don't think I'll be re-ordering.

Fantastic flavors, incredible naan. Delivered fast. Perfect!

Always on time,hot and to a great standard. Never had a problem with elachi

They forgot to deliver our poppadoms!

Seis de nosotros asistimos para cumpleaños de un amigo, ya bastante a menudo. Cálida acogida y rápido con poppadoms encantadores. Buena comida, que debe ser fresco ya que se tarda una hora en llegar, pero es muy sabrosa, con porciones generosas (y que podemos comer mucho! ), y con una mezcla de cocina tradicional y 'chef' opciones especiales.Mientras esté en poca distancia de nuestra casa, así como un número de otras opciones, pero seguimos regresando. Estaremos encantados de recomendarle. (También para llevar y entrega).

Delivered bang on time... beautiful food as always! There is no need for any other Indian restaurant in South East London!!!

Absolutely delicious, fresh and wholesome

I've never had a bad meal or service from here. Love it!!!

Really nice Indian, been using it for years, food feels fresh and taste is great

The meals arrived an hour early so there was no one at our hose,my wife telephoned Elachi at the correct delivery time which was 8.20pm and was told the docket or order wasn't read property'swhen the delivery eventually arrived the food dishes were not the ones we ordered. Seriously disappointing and inept service, how to lose business!

I've never had a bad meal from here in over 15 years. I love the Harry Mirchi Chicken dish. My only wish I could have is if they could only open earlier or maybe midday on a Saturday/Sunday. It can be a bit late for me to have such a spicy dish. Lovely people.... great service.

Food arrived quickly, good quality sauces but short on meat.

Good food, pleasantly sized portions and arrived before they said it would

Visitamos este restaurante con un grupo de amigos de personal muy atento y siempre sonriente, muy luminoso contemporáneo encanta el diseño del bar ... La comida era muy sabrosa especialmente los 's Mirchi pollo" de Harry (no para los pusilánimes) como ya se ha dicho en las piezas de licitación de menú con chefs salsa especial también probamos el calamar arrojadas absolutamente increíble. restaurante ha sido servir curry por 15 años y leyendo una introducción sobre el chef parece ha trabajado en muy famosos restaurantes. Visitar la próxima semana la Sra. .

always very happy when i order from here. good choices for vegetarians available. beautiful taste, speedy delivery, great phone communications.

Food was amazing , delivery was good timing ,. :D enjoyed very much highly recomend . :)

I ordered a takeaway was very disappointed with the quality of the food pompadums had a horrible taste chicken was tough side dish was full of oil,will not use again.

Mi esposa y yo hemos vivido la vuelta de la esquina desde aquí durante 14 años (6 juntos y antes de eso he vivido con mi mejor amigo indio) y me han calculado que he comido en el Elachi más de 200 veces, así que pensé que tenía mejor post una revisión. El Elachi es una joya desconocida para la mayoría como otras casas locales de curry tienen un perfil más alto y está situado en la bulliciosa South Circular, lo que significa que es a menudo tranquilo. El curry aquí es realmente buena calidad y carne es suculentos y empapados en especias aromáticas, con servicio auténtico y atractivo. Los camareros aquí son tan acogedores y serviciales, y el servicio es siempre con una sonrisa. Supongo que quiere el lugar en el que alojarse lo mismo pero realmente debería tener unos más seguidores! Estoy otra vez esta tarde como es viernes ...

Food was bland and also upset my stomach, won´t be going back, really disappointing aftera previous meal was out standing yet lacked delivery time waited hour and half

Tuvimos la suerte de vivir cerca de este restaurante durante los últimos dos años y están allí con regularidad. Siempre teníamos una buena comida con fantástico, el servicio es amable. Amplia variedad de platos que siempre sabía fresco con un montón de sabor. salsas con...

Will never order again. Ordered here because they offer free bottle of wine (via Just-Eat page: FREE House Wine on orders over £25), pushed our order up to £28 to get the wine. Delivery man arrived with no wine and said that wine was only for CASH ORDERS. Serious false advertising. We should´ve stuck with Panas Gurkha - great service, friendly guys and fabulous food. Never again Elachi!

This was my favourite local until the curry quality went down. Tried four times again ti rekindle this rekationship but ended up each time returning food. Meat became tough and chewy, sundries poorly prepped and surroundings in poor state- leaking ceiling!

This is the best restaurant for curry I have found (after extensive research) in this area of London. I've been there many times and the food is always of high quality. As well as the usual Jalfrezi, Madras, Vindaloo etc - all very good - the chef cooks his own individual and distinctive dishes - Chicken Radoni and Lamb Jardaloo, for example, are both superb. Vegetables are fresh and not overcooked and the spices do not mask the flavour. Prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.
