It was not very very good, but good. It should be more spacious. Food quality and price was quite comfortable.

Visited on 19/2/22. Part way through my meal, (i was the only one in the restaurant) a couple with a buggy containing a sleeping baby came into the room. I witnessed the Waiter (who was already rude and came across as arrogant.) move the couple from table to table several times within a space of a couple of minutes. Then when the couple refused to collapse wake the baby and then collapse the buggy, he asked them to leave as he wouldn’t serve them. The couple promptly left. If i hadn’t been partway through my meal i would have joined in protest and left the restaurant without ordering. Totally disgusting behaviour and the worst customer service i’ve ever witnessed. You’d have to wonder if i’d been in a wheelchair would they have served me??? I would avoid this place like the plague.

We needed a good, filling, tasty meal and it was exactly what we wanted. The food came quickly and it was all good - lamb korma, pilau rice, spinach, dall etc. The restaurant is old fashioned but we had a good meal and enjoyed ourselves.

We really should have booked a restaurant coming to London but didn't bother and ended up here. It turned out to be a big mistake. They'd ran out of poppadoms before 20:00. The food was lukewarm and mine was undercooked. It tasted awful, portions small. The spices on mine had just been dumped on top, not even stirred. The night before I'd eaten a ready meal which was much better. We left very dissapointed and quite surprised how bad a curry could be in a restaurant. Next time we will plan and read the reviews before chancing it.

The worst Indian meal i have ever had. Arrived just before 10pm on a Friday night. Restaurant was totally empty apart from one couple who were leaving as we approached. As the tube strike was in full swing and stopped people from getting into central london, we didn’t let this put us off and gave the place the benefit of the doubt. Ordered a pint of coke which arrived warm & flat. Again, not the biggest issue so went on to order food. Prawn cocktail starter, was told they did not have this. Ordered bhuna prawn. Very odd taste. My partner ordered a duck dish from the menu, but was told no duck either. I got chicken vindaloo. Very poor indeed. Chicken ok but curry not tasty at all. Bland naan bread. Asked for vinegar for a shared portion of chips, no vinegar. Keema rice sticky and contained the cheapest tasting mince which has gristle in it, truly awful. All of our party left the majority of the food ordered. As soon as we had finished we were presented with the bill and pretty much asked to leave. That was after the member of staff had hovered round the table a few times coughing as if to hint we needed to leave. Zero atmosphere in the restaurant, no music. Just very poor food and service. Sorry guys, we gave you a chance.

I wish I could rate this restaurant lower than one. The waiter was visibly ill and coughing all over the restaurant without covering his mouth even after we kindly asked him to. We paid and walked out before getting our food hoping not to have caught something.

Je suis étonnée de lire de si mauvais avis ... J'y ai dîné un soir de semaine où il y avait peu de monde. Le service était très cordial, poli, rien à signaler. La cuisine servie est classique et habituelle pour un restaurant indien. J'ai pu choisir plusieurs petits plats de légumes du fait que je suis végétarienne (alors que ces petits plats de légumes sont normalement des accompagnements pour les gros plats de viande). Cuisine bonne et avec du goût. Lassi nature très bon aussi. Je trouve en revanche que les tarifs sont un peu élevés, c'est en tout cas + cher que dans un restaurant indien à Paris par exemple. mais en même temps, tout est toujours un peu + cher à Londres.

I'm shocked of the reviews! I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T READ THEM BEFORE GOING IN THERE. I am a big fan of curries and I can happily recommend this restaurant without doubts!!! The food was fenomenal,and the ambience very relaxing. The waiters were friendly with us, but I can see that language barriers could be the factor for some people saying that the personnel is rude. We saw that they were trying their best to give good costumer service. We found out that the restaurant has been there for more than 40 years, has the same chef for 27 years, so he knows his curries well, and we will definitely be back for some more. The garlic and chilly chicken curry is mouthwatering.

On entering the restaurant after a show around 10.25pm the restaurant was half full. We were sat near the opening door so every time the door opened it was really cold. When the waiter came to take our order I asked if we could move as I was cold. This resulted in what I class as "eye rolling" and then advising me that the other EMPTY tables were for 4 people. I informed him again that I was cold due to the door . He did move us with the attitude that I was "putting him out". Our food was fine so no complaints there. However on leaving all the other spare tables had not been taken up by anyone else , he had plenty of set tables to move us too so there was no need for his dismissal attitude at the start. It does annoy me though when restaurants in London include the service charge as the staff can then give poor service as they know they are going to get their tip regardless.

Myself and my boyfriend went outside for a quick cigarette (we told the waiter that we were doing this) as we went outside three of the waiters jumped my boyfriend and accused him of not paying.

Where do I start. ! From entering the restaurant to leaving it was without doubt the worst experience I have encountered in a restaurant. On entry, almost immediately, the staff were handing over us and forcing us to order. We just wanted to settle down and have a chat. Food was very average and they were very inflexibly in placing my order. So much came out looking and tasting as having been pre-cooked! So we have finished , and without asking the bill lands on our table, they are inviting us to leave , table is pulled out but we had not finished. There was no offer of Coffee etc .

Présentation des thalis peu pratique, avec des contenants profonds mais de petits diamètres ; d'ailleurs, pourquoi prévoir un thali végétarien et un non-végétarien, et pas un mixte des 2?

Simply superb. I went to the Grand Indian with my father and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Grand Dinner for only £25.95. Worth every penny and would highly recommend! There was so much food I couldn't finish. Between the two of us, the bill was £63.00,incredibly reasonable for London. We felt that the service charge of 12.5% wasn't enough and would recommend leaving an extra tip for the waiters. The waiter beamed when I ordered the Grand Dinner and a £6.95 fruit cocktail, and the service was splendid for the duration of the meal. Even though the restaurant wasn't fully air conditioned as advertised, the temperature was still bearable. Disregard the other negative reviews; this is a must-do for everyone in London!!

NO COMER AQUI. Le daría 0 estrellas si eso fuera posible. Son ladrones y el servicio al cliente es despreciable. Este restaurante debe estar cerrado. Me encontré con algunos amigos para comer aquí una noche y éramos los únicos en el restaurante. Los camareros eran groseros, pero no les prestamos mucha atención. Luego, cuando llegó el momento de partir, dejé mi billetera en la mesa. Salimos y me di cuenta de mi error no más de 5 minutos después. Regresé y le pregunté al camarero si encontraba mi billetera, rápidamente dijo que no había nada allí sin siquiera mirar la mesa. Así que me busqué y luego pedí reunirme con el gerente. Se negó y comenzó a gritarme preguntándome por qué no le creía. Era extremadamente defensivo y grosero, era extremadamente poco profesional y fuera de lugar. Luego, cuando le pregunté si podía anotar mi número en caso de que alguien entregara mi billetera más tarde, se negó y siguió gritando y repitiendo que debía creerle porque la billetera no estaba allí. En última instancia, siguió gritándome hasta que empecé a llorar, y luego me ignoró por completo y ni siquiera hizo contacto visual conmigo. Fue una experiencia terrible. No vayas a este restaurante.

So let's be honest - Faulty Towers would have at least been entertaining. Went there today with my wife and from the get go the service was just bizarre and very poor. The waiter who led us to our table didn't engage in eye contact or proper manners, and kept muttering under his breathe. For a large coke, the price was nearly £5; the waiter did not come to us, the customers, to take our initial drink order, we had to ask him to come over, and this was after about 10 minutes - we had at this point decided on what we wanted to eat, so thought to order everything in one go - hardly the words had come out of my mouth that i wanted two cokes, that he just walked away from the table, and I had to wait another 3 or 4 minutes before someone else came to the table to take the rest of our order (we must have had 4 different waiters in total 'looking after us')! The food itself wasn't terrible, although the poppadoms had seen better days, and the onion bhaji were slightly burnt and came with no side salad; the table at which we were sat was so small that our mains would not fit on the table (they decided not to clear our table of our starters first) - and so the waiter decided to serve our rice and curries onto our plates himself, no questions beforehand first! We asked for two pilau rice, and he brought it all in one pot, and just served half-and-half on each our plates, and then dolloped our individual curries on top of our plates without asking as how we would like it served, or how much (suppose I wanted a doggie-bag??) The waiters were mimicking potential customers outside of the restaurant who couldn't make up their minds if they wanted to come in (doing this in front of their existing, sitting customers, they were shouting to people on the phone (presumably their other colleagues); one waiter did ask us if we liked our food, but he was looking at the table next to us when he asked the question (?!) and then just walked away from the table! To clinch the deal, he then served hot towels to the other table after the had finished their meal, but did not for us when we asked for the bill; the whole meal - 2 poppadoms, 1 chutney tray (which I'm sure he he had just brought over from another exiting customer's table), 2 pilau rice, 2 portions of bhaji, 1 mutton dhansak, 1 chicken rogan, 2 cokes - including the pre-included service-charge, came to just over £53. A rip-off, and an absolute disapointment, doesn't quite cover it. I'm actually a bit disapointed in myself at not up and leaving - you live, you learn.

Pensé que era extraño encontrar un restaurante del West End vacío a las 5 de la tarde de un sábado. Pronto descubrió que los camareros no saben sonreír ni hacer que un huésped sea bienvenido. Obviamente no querían estar allí. Poco después de pedir una bebida y popadoms, descubrimos que los acompañamientos para popadoms eran muy básicos, sin cebollas y no especialmente frescos. Pregunté si podíamos obtener algunas cebollas que obviamente frustraban al camarero, ya que la expresión de su rostro era de completo desdén. Él proporcionó estos, pero ¿por qué no pudieron haber sido proporcionados en primer lugar? Entonces decidimos reducir nuestras pérdidas y pedimos cortésmente la factura. Esto luego reveló la verdadera naturaleza del camarero, que rápidamente nos arrebató nuestras bebidas y nos dijo "no servimos bebidas y solo hacemos poppadoms para que pueda irse ahora". UAVOID a toda costa! !

Very disappointed with this very below average Indian Restaurant. I agree with a review that I have now read since coming home I would not have chosen to eat at this restaurant had I read the reviews. We were looking to eat before going to the theatre and had no reason to think that eating there would be a mistake. The food was well below average and the side orders tasted very salty. As previous reviews advised, the tables are very close together. Once we finished our mains the bill was put on the table, no option of more drinks, deserts or coffees. We were in the process of paying and three ladies came in for a table and the waiter told them we would be moving very soon and made it very clear that he wanted us to go instantly and his attitude was very rude. He'd got his 12% service charge which was a joke really as service was rubbish. As 12% was put on the menu I assumed that we had to pay, I have since found out that we needn't have done so. Suffice to say I would not go back there to eat even if they paid me to!

We were shut out of the Indian restaurant we wanted so popped in here after a show. It was fairly busy so felt this a good sign, but not to be. The owner took up a very nice large table reading his newspaper while we were seated in a not so good table, that pretty much sums up the attitude here. The food was below average, a bit greasy and tasted all quite similar though we ordered 5 different things and were not asked how we liked our spice. What really set this place apart was the quite terrible attitude of the staff who clearly model their owner’s personality. This place should clearly be avoided, we dropped our guard due to hunger and paid with a bad experience.

Tiny tables squashed in together. Staff near bar just chatting, no customer service. Veggie samosas had frozen veg and undercooked, mains weren’t much better. Save your money and go somewhere else. I wish we had read the reviews before we went, We love Indian food but unfortunately this was some of the worst we have ever tasted.

Been passed this restaurant several times on the way to Covent Garden. Decided to pop in on spec. The tables are a little closer than we would like but we were desperate for a good curry so accepted a small table for two in a row of pairs. Other couples were engaged in conversation at different stages of their meals when we took our place. As it was bust we thought we would be rushed, but were not. We ordered at ease and chose our mains, deciding only to have a few poppadoms each so as not to spoil our appetites. Glad we did because the chutneys and salad were generous and the mains a good size with Peshawari naan to go with them.

First they don't allow main dish to be shared. we had to order two main dishes for two people. food was average, less spicey and we liked it because taste was different than usual indian restaurants. Secondly, prices mentioned on menu cards are for side dishes ( for vegetarian dishes at least)if you order it as main dish then price will be double (which waiter will never clarify while taking order) this we came to know when we got the bill. Ambiance is dark and grim. Lastly the taste was not authentic Indian if that is what someone is specifically looking for.

Naanbrødene kom i en potte med lokk. De ble jo klissete av å ligge sånn. Kelneren ble skuffet når vi bare skulle ha en ris og ikke to. De hadde ikke tørr hvitvin, svært merkelig.

Rude waiter kept trying to take the dishes away when one of the three of us was still eating and brought the ice cream pudding whilst she was still eating - semi defrosted by the time it was returned to the table.

Looking for a restaurant still serving after we had been to a show, only 4 other diners as it was about 11pm, we just had mains, 1 side dish, naan and rice, food was ok but have had much better, the waiters were all staring at us which was unnerving, asked for dry white wine but waiter said they only had medium, very expensive for what we had, and upon leaving the waiter leered at me and said I smelt good, which I thought was a bit pervy! Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Un grupo de mis amigos y yo vinimos aquí después del trabajo. Los camareros eran increíblemente grosera sin razón aparente tan pronto como entramos por la puerta. Pregunté cortésmente si podía por favor tome distancia de seguridad para poner los restos de mi comida y el camarero se fue Meneando la cabeza en mí. Después de muchos otros encuentros grosero, mis amigos y yo estábamos muy ofendido y nunca se vienen aquí.

Mi novio y yo vine aquí a cenar y éramos los únicos clientes. Pedimos a un camarero muy estresados, que no era especialmente dedicados al servicio. Conseguimos nuestro principal campo incluso antes de terminado el primer plato y la comida sabía tan mal ninguno de nosotros pudo terminar. Lo peor sobre esta comida fue que uno de los camareros se miraban a mí todo el tiempo y hacían tanto mi novio y sentir muy incómoda. Sólo quería dejar.

Good Friday, think it had been raining for over 7 hours we where now soaked & in need of food, this had spaces, seated in the window table for 4, drinks & poms & pickles ordered, at this point one of our party did start to read the Trip reviews on her phone, I did wonder wether this could be our last supper? Happy to report we all enjoyed our currys & next morning while typing this I have no after effects, bill with drinks £100.

Worst indian I’ve ever had the misfortune to visit. There was only one table filled in the whole place and when we requested a table for 4 so we could have a bit of space, we were told (with a huge amount of condescension) that it was a table for 4 and we were only 2 so we couldn’t sit there. We then requested to have the meal advertised on the A board outside the restaurant, only to be told that price was only available Monday to Friday so we could have it at a higher price seeing as it was a Saturday. Our food arrived and the bhuna was swimming in oil and the lamb was chewy. During our meal, a Muslim family came in and sat down but they were sat next to the door that lead downstairs to the toilets. They asked to move and rather than agree to it, the waiter then proceeded to have a full blown argument with the guy and the family left. The waiter then decided to go on a bit of a racist rant about Muslims and how rude they were. When we got our bill, to their credit, they didn’t charge us the extra price for the meal. In hindsight through this makes me wonder whether the first guy who told us that was thinking we were silly tourists who he could get as much money from as possible. We were relieved that that particular waiter left before our food arrived and another waiter took over from him be he then ended up being the waiter who had the argument. Add all of this to the fact that we were sat next to the door which didn’t close properly and it was below 5 degrees, and the fact that the 2nd waiter decided to stand just outside the door but with it resting on his back so it was kept even more ajar. We asked him to close it and he didn’t say a word to us but just flounced out of the door. Safe to say we will NEVER be returning to this god awful place!

We were looking forward to a nice relaxing meal, but the service staff were not that friendly or accommodating. We wanted a different table but they wouldn’t let us switch. Also, had the sense they wanted to up-sell - brought bottled water instead of tap and seemed to want us to order more food. Then tried to clear the table before we were done. The food was quite good, but based on the service, I wouldn’t go back or recommend.

Así de claro. Pasamos de casualidad por ahí y no nos arrepentimos. Porque la comida estaba bastante bien, especialmente en relación precio/calidad. Pero por otro lado, la atención fue realmente pésima. El personal tiene mala voluntad, malos modales, poca simpatía y poca paciencia. Pedimos varios platos para compartir entre 3, la mayoría platos de acompañamiento (side dishes) pero el mozo nos obligó a pedir más platos principales.

I was a bit put off when we arrived, as the waiter looked like he was in prison and we were his gaolers. The tables are crammed together so you end up knocking everything over. The vegetable Samosas were absolutely dreadful, avoid them! The garlic nan was only marginally better. The curries were a king prawn and a chicken jalfrezi, both of these were good. The waiter appeared to cheer up as we were leaving, maybe he'd just had an annoying customer before we arrived. The cost is higher, but that's probably due to being in the centre of London. I liked the 60s decor.

Me enviaron a mi cordero karahi atrás y pedí una versión debidamente preparado. Lo que he recibido de vuelta era, supongo que el mismo plato, sólo que habían sido mal calentar en un microondas. Los zumos (cargados con grasa) pero de nuevo, la crepitante carne no estaba más caliente. . . Y probado de plástico. . . Nunca hemos comido un. peor India en mi vida. Evitar a toda costa. . ! !

Been here a few times on visits to the capital. It never disappoints. I had a wonderful butter chicken, from the specials menu; creamy and tasty - my hubby had a jalfrezi (tangy and spicy) We shared a peshwari naan and had onion Bahjias the size of tennis balls! Great value and good placement for the theatres.

Un amigo nos invitó a este restaurante. Estaba tranquilo cuando estuvimos allí, un domingo por la tarde. Éramos los únicos clientes. El menú es bastante extenso con todos los platos principales a un precio de alrededor de 14. Pedimos fideos de gambas, lemak nasi, carne de res, arroz kuey frito, wat tan hor y pollo satay. Todos los platos se ven bien cuando se sirven, pero en mi opinión carecen de sabor. El mejor plato para mí es la salsa satay. la camarera se ve desinteresada pero rápida de asistir cuando es necesario. No creo que vuelva por el precio que tengo que pagar, dado que no hay ningún factor sorpresa en ninguno de los platos que pedimos.
