My 6 year old son and I had a good dinner. The meat was very tender and the railroad dish had a good flavored spiciness. Everything was made in good time and the waiters had a good sense for offering their service. Also had a nice chat after finishing.

Very delicious Indian food. I ordered the railway lamb chops. The meat was very tender. The lamb chops ordered by my friend were also very huge and tender. The bread was fluffy and chewy, and the combination was very satisfying.

Walked in for a meal and unfortunately left underwhelmed. Restaurant was empty which says a lot. While the food was nice enough, the portion sizes were shockingly small for the price. The service was awkward, surly, and very unaccommodating — we didn’t feel welcome at all. Definitely not somewhere I’d return to or recommend, especially when there are so many better options in London offering both delicious food and a warm atmosphere.

Bad food and very plain. Not recommended for anyone with an authentic Indian taste. The place seems filled with fake reviews and misleading feedback. Please work on improving the quality, flavour, and authenticity of your dishes. Dining here was a disappointing experience, and certainly not worth the price. Genuine improvement is needed if you wish to truly represent Indian cuisine.

This is my favourite Indian restaurant out of London and have probably been here at least about 7 times. Extremely friendly staff and it's in a brilliant location, right between London Bridge and Waterloo, with a pub almost next door! You couldn't ask for more. Give it a go when you're next in the area.

Loved this restaurant. The waiter, Ahmed, was great, so helpful and checked everything for my dietary requirements. The music was background, as it should be, so meant we could have a discussion without shouting over the music. Myself and my friend thought the food was superb, lovely to try different dishes and each one was lovely, spicy, tasty, and well presented. When we said it was my birthday meal Ahmed brought out an ice cream with a candle & they sung happy birthday! We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

My colleague and I went there for lunch - the food was absolutely delicious. I had Goan Prawn Curry which had enormous king prawns in and was so delicious. My colleague had the the North Indian Fish Curry (Sea Bass) which was also great. We also had my favourite, Taka Dall, Saag Aloo, pilau rice and samosa chatt. All in all brilliant and highly recommend it. Ahmed served us and was friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The menu is well marked up for GF, vegan etc. and he answered all questions we had. On knowing my friend had just had a birthday he then served us a delicious toffee icecream with a candle in it. Thanks to the restaurant and staff for a lovely lunchtime meal.

I wish I could give minus star to this restaurant. I Travelled london with my two kids and I was near southwark and checked this restaurant was nearby when I called them they Said no reservation needed .when we went there the staff said the table is booked and gave us another table.we sat for 40 mins no one came for the tables which they mentioned already booked .and later I ordered masala wedges but I mentioned I need plain instead of masala the staff said no problem we can serve it plain .later they gave us full masala ones and staff grab the plate without telling us while serving and said we need to wait for wedges my kids waited for long time for their wedges and they serve us wedges after long time n I saw it was full of masala I asked the person to whom I ordered he said we only do masala.my god how stupid we sat there coz my kids were hungry after long walk to bridge and they just took order by lying that they will.make it plain and it was not big issue they can just skip sprinkle of masala .the problem was the staff who take order and didn't deliver our proper information. My son has allergy from spices what if be took one ..disgusting staff don't go there if you have kids ..

Absolutamente deliciosa comida india! Acabamos de llegar a Londres desde los Estados Unidos, estábamos cansados y hambrientos y necesitábamos sentarnos. Encontramos exactamente lo que necesitábamos aquí! La gente era amable y eficiente y nos pareció una excelente mesa (menos mal que llegamos temprano, ya que este lugar se llena mucho! ) Y la comida era maravillosa! Todo lo que pedimos - - desde el pappadum a través del naan estaba recién preparado y delicioso! Nos gustó especialmente el pollo tikka! Como estamos en un AirBnb muy cerca, sin duda volveremos para disfrutar de otra comida estelar! Excelente carta de vinos, así, y muy razonable precio para una comida tan grande!

Popped in whilst staying in the area. As a solo diner, I was made to feel welcome - this is not always the case when asking for a table for 1.

The atmosphere was so nice I actually stuck around for an additional drink after finishing my meal. The staff were friendly and very attentive throughout my visit. I definitely recommend.

We visited Est. India at Flat Iron Square and found the experience disappointing. The atmosphere was unwelcoming, and the staff seemed indifferent, claiming they were fully booked when the website said nothing about reservations. We ordered Biryani and Paratha, only to discover a 12.55% service charge automatically added for two people, with staff still expecting tips. The vibe felt tacky and cheap, lacking genuine hospitality. I recommend seeking other options for better service in London. Response to the owner: My feedback is 100% genuine. Your passive-aggressive tone only reinforces the concerns I raised in my original review. I have a receipt for the meal we had I welcome the opportunity to see you in court.

Lovely food. If you are eating as a business, please be warned that the restaurant is unable to produce a valid VAT receipt. Highly disappointing. PS. Adding the restaurant's VAT number on the receipt is NOT enough to make it a valid VAT receipt. A valid receipt must also contain the amount of VAT that has been charged and at what rate (eg. 20%). So, despite their claim in their response, the restaurant is NOT producing valid VAT receipts.

Est India is one of my favourite places for great curry. It is a welcoming place, the staff are really friendly and attentive. I like the layout of the restaurant, it has a fresh vibe. Most importantly, the food is first-class. Fairly typical Anglo-Indian fare but done in an up to date manner. The curries are well balanced on textures and nice to see good quality vegetables used throughout. Spicing is delicate and the flavours stand-out. The house mixed starters and the breads were very tasty. Wine is decent and a few nice bottles on the menu. Best curry in London Bridge area

6.50 for a choice of 10 vegetarian mains that you can even mix and match. WOW, for London this is amazing. Rice is extra obvs but I just had the main to take away. Eat in is same price. It's more a cafe than resterount. No tablecloths here, just good food done well and at a price point that you become a regular. Friendly staff
