Est. India in Southwark

Perfect experience! Very friendly staff, excellent food! A real Indian restaurant in a not too busy area not to be missed!

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.

Very good Indian restaurant in London great experience

Never disappoints!!! My favourite Indian restaurant outside of Mumbai. Recommend everything, but especially the pav baji, railway curry, and masala dosa. Swoon.

Good food but expensive for what it is.

Monday night dinner with friends... Outstanding, perfectly-cooked food, relaxed atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended.

Personally i am a horribly cook, but with the help of these professionals my tikki masala was actually great!! Thanks for the kindness :)

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.

Really great meal here. Their new lunchtime set meal is brilliant value.

The lady who attemded us was really nice and attentive. We enjoyed the whole lunch!

No taste in food and waste of money …

One of the best Indian restaurants we have been to, very warm and the staff takes great care

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.

Tuvimos una fantástica experiencia gastronómica! La comida era absolutamente deliciosa — cada plato fue preparado con mucho cuidado y lleno de sabor. Lo que hizo la noche verdaderamente especial fue el servicio increíblemente amable y atento. Muchas gracias a Hussein, que fue más allá para hacernos sentir bienvenidos. Su cálida personalidad y profesionalidad realmente destacaron. Muy recomendable!

Amazing food with good service.

Bad taste it's very bad food us and there is no proper food and even tasteless food not to come Indian people here.. Not recommended place and not good taste.

Decent Indian restaurant - friendly service

Another great meal at India Est. We always get a warm welcome and the food is great. As always Hussain and Ahmed were great

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!

The food & ambience was amazing!!

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.

Cosy, friendly atmosphere, and delicious food! Thank you to Hussain, who served us :)

Well, they couldn’t wait to get me paid and out the door!! And it’s 21:10, so not exactly late! Not quite sure what all the rush is about - give your customers time and space please to actually enjoy the experience, and not feel like we’re keeping you from going home.

Tasty food was provided speedily by polite and very attentive staff. Very relaxed atmosphere.

The food was outstanding! Felt like home

Best food I’ve had as far as Indian goes

Lovely food, great ambience and Excellent service. The staff really took good care of us and we're very polite. Highly recommended the crispy Okra and the Railway Lamb curry, which was sublime.

The food was honestly the best Indian food i ever had. Perfect little dinner spot to start our honeymoon! 10/10 would recommend in a heartbeat.

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!

We had a great experience and the food was great! So was our server Ahmed!

Amazing Indian food and very very tasty - highly recommend it !!

We had a very enjoyable lunch at Est India. The service and food were great. Definitely recommended and we will be back.

Great food, lively atmosphere, can’t wait to go back.

Without doubt the best Indian restaurant for miles around and fantastic value. So many excellent dishes, but the lamb shank and the tikka salmon are both exceptional. Street food starters are great too

Honestly incredible value for money

Had a wonderful night here on 14th December. All food was excellent, lovely atmosphere and the service exemplary. Highly recommend 👍

Great customer service..delicious food!

Hussein is my hero. Best server alive. Gotta try this place if you’re ever in London.

Lovely food, restaurant is very clean and staff are super friendly

As good as ever. We’re regular customers here and appreciate the consistent excellent quality.

Wow! We ordered several dishes to try and could not decide later which was the best! Soo delicious 🥹😻 With a little history lesson of the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladesh we were also taught, it was so interesting! Thank you again!! We will come back🤗

Quite pricey for if you are just after a quick curry even by London standards. If it’s the whole night out then well worth it.

Last week we went to dis hotel.....food taste is Awesome....I can say must visit place in London for Indian people for havg food....great taste we enjoyed a lot....not only food ....d way dey treated us is good ....all food we ordered was hot...expected spicyness ....and rate of dis food is really surprised it was reasonable and affordable even though ordering lot of dishes

A fantastic place to eat! The staff were so accommodating (as we just turned up with no booking in a large group - with kids as well). The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait. Highly recommend this restaurant.

After visiting Tate Modern, I went to this Indian restaurant near the museum and ordered Railway Lamb Curry. The dinner was super delicious and the staff was very polite. Thank you!

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 staff were happy to accommodate my request for a vindaloo, which was very tasty, especially with the lemon rice. 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.

So tasty food and amazing service. So sweet people that wants to give you the best experience 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very good staff with amazing tasty food. Would 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.

Very professional waiters and delicious food !

Very good, thank you for every thing

Best experience in South London by far

Best restaurant we had in London. Very welcoming and really good food !

Best dosa I’ve had in London, great dahl and attentive staff. Thanks for fitting us in :)

Onion bhaji were the texture of golfballs. Kerala chicken curry had overcooked meat. Sag bhaji was the texture of play doh.

It's a good restaurant in Central London. It's a vegetarian and non-veg restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner and the taste was good. I would recommend visiting this restaurant.

Bhaji was not tasty, expected 2 pavs per plate but got only 1 per plate. Disappointed

Great dosa, and portions. Clean and tidy. Excellent waiter- Hussain was super. Will return for more !

Me and my family have been visiting this restaurant for over 6 years. Food is good, options are available for vegetarians, ambience is nice too. Very conveniently located

Bhutan’s lamb is to die for! Best selection of gin and tonic ever!!!

The only thing good was the buns for pav bhaji! Chilly paneer wasn’t chilly but was more like a manchurian. It was super sweet The pav bhaji’s bhaji was a total flop And their shahi paneer gravy was super watery, the paneer wasn’t cooked well. Felt like the paneer was just tossed into the gravy as we ordered

I’ve heard great things about Indian food in London and an Uber driver recommended this place. It was in walking distance from my hotel and I’m so glad I came. The food was fresh and delicious! The service was great as well, thank you Ahmed! You must try!!

great food & very friendly service, child-friendly!

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

I didnt receive my order 18 Roderick house

Really good place ! Very welcoming, and the food is really good. Thanks a lot !

I did not receive my order and it sayd delivererd, where is my order

Nice location, superb food, good service!

Great food, thick and tasty curries. Lots of meat.

Food was very delicious, staff was friendly but the restaurant is often empty, leaving the servers looking bored.

The food was reallyy reallyy great. With excellent quantity and quality, really loved it!!! Ahamed was a server. He was very friendly!

All the food was delicious and Ahmed was very attentive and friendly.

Delicious butter chicken, tikka masala, naan, & pulao rice!

Very good, copious and tasty dishes, very friendly staff 👍

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.

Avoid! What a mistake it was walking 10 mins to and fro from my place of interest just to satisfy my palate for indian food Totally shocked that a 4.3 rated restaurant can serve such undercooked/ill prepared food and a substandard service ...

The naan was top tier. My partner and I LOVE the Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken. The service was prompt and very nice. They also give plenty of chicken with your entree. Will definitely be coming back!

Un menú interesante que ofrece platos que no se encuentran en otros restaurantes. Generosas porciones de platos bien especiados y a un precio razonable. Una excelente experiencia gastronómica y muy recomendable.

Recently discovered this place and couldn’t be happier. Great food, friendly staff and well situated near London Bridge in an area that’s booming with development with lots of nearby craft beer pubs and restaurants. Food was amazing, as was the service and I can’t wait to go back.

Lamb dish was great, saag paneer lacked flavour

Ahmed and the rest of the staff were so friendly. I love that I’m able to order just half portion of the tandoori since it was 10pm and I just wanted a little something to eat. I ended up enjoying the end of my evening from the friendly staff and good food.

Great restaurant and food was wonderful staff are very friendly ❤️‍🔥💥💥

The food was delicious! I tried the Chicken Tika Masala, very tasty and not spicy. I also recommend the Naan with garlic and the meat Samosa. The attendant Ahmed was very helpful and helped us with all the directions! I recommend it in London!

Food was very nice and staff was very friendly🥰

Excellent Food and service was great. lovely Environment.

Very good restaurant discovered with family. We were given good advice on dishes, especially those that were not very spicy and were suitable for children. Everything was very good. THANKS

Was my first time coming to this restaurant, i had a great experience. The food was lovely. I would of preferred it to be more chilli . Overall happy with the great service will be back again!

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

Very nice food, good service and cozy atmosphere!

Brilliant! The food was outstanding, ne of the best curries I've had in a long while. Definitely recommend the Railway lamb curry- the lamb literally melts in the mouth! Great service and relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely return on our next stay in London 😃

Hussain was amazing, very helpful, the service was great, and the food was incredible. We had a lovely bottle of white wine and Hussain brought birthday treats for our celebration. Highly recommended!

Very polite cooperative staff Food has awesome flavours Chicken jalfrezi best

Great food and friendly atmosphere!

Absolutely delicious meal in the center of London for a reasonable price. Service was fast and very kind, even charged my phone. Our server’s name was Muhammad so props to him. Only downside was that it was a little too loud inside.

Hard to fault. Excellent food. Great service. Reasonable prices. Recommended.

Great family meal here with our two children who are under 6! Staff were lovely with them. Tasty and very reasonably priced food. Delicious Sauvignon Blanc too!

Have had takeaways from Est India before but dining in was next level. We had Onion Bhaji, Keema Pav, Bhutani Curry and it was absolutely delicious. Staff extremely friendly and knew the menu well. We were served by Ahmed, who was very friendly and polite. A credit to this restaurant. A very enjoyable experience with authentic flavours, good sized portions and excellent value for money. Highly, highly recommended. Will return very soon.
