Halal Restaurant in Tower Hamlets

Have a great time with very old work colleagues. BYOB is a good incentive.

Food is fantastic, full of flavour. Service is great and the team are very friendly. Really good value for money. Highly recommend!

Moved to London about a year ago and this is probably the only place I regularly come back to. The food is delicious! I generally get a naan, a veggie dish, and a meat dish (perfect for 1). The service is always friendly and they certainly care about your experience. It is also BYOB which is never a bad time. Highly recommend Halal for anyone looking for delicious, fair-priced Indian food!

10/10 The price is affordable and the chicken is perfectly made! Nice service and I Will come back again! New comment on 26 March: I am a regular customer now as I said before😂 Highly recommend chicken vandaloo and butter chicken and Naan! Add 3 more pics but I have already been there like 5 times more! By the way if u do collection, will be 10% off! I love this place!

The people on the phone are totally useless and incompetent, I spoke to two people. 8:50pm 26th March. One put the phone down when I tried asking him about one of the curries. The other guy was totally ignoring my question and speaking about apps and deliveries, I asked both of them if they can give it to the owner who was very good in the past. I think they have new management. He can actually speak English, I want him to see how they are running it without him. I abandoned my order because they couldn’t answer a simple question.

love to come here every time i’m back in London. Very good authentic food, fair prices and they even have half portions of one doesn’t feel like eating that much. Vegan and vegetarian friendly🌱

That was ok Indian food. Not bad and perhaps for a quick lunch this should be an option but this is more a english taste Indian that a authentic spiced Indian. No alcohol license but It seem that they are ok for you to bring your bottle. Average portions.

Simply the best. High quality ingredients cooked so well with fantastic spices that make your mouth water. 6 of us booked dinner here yesterday based on previous experience and recommendation and it was simply superb. Poppadum’s, 6 delicious mains, Pilaf Rice, Onion Bhaji’s, Naan’s and more were all finished off at an incredible £20 a head! Superb quality and VFM. Great place to enjoy your favourite curry

I live in New Jersey USA and every trip to London this restaurant is top of my list , it’s an absolute MUST, wonderful food atmosphere and the staff makes you feel at home…..thx for great food 🤗

It definitely lives up to its deserved reputation. Will be returning soon.

It was a great dinner, especially Mr. Emir who took care of the service, thank you very much 🙏😊

The staff lacked professionalism, and the quality of the Indian/Pakistani cuisine was the poorest I've encountered. Both the food and the masala chai were subpar, almost to the point of being a joke. I cannot recommend this place

I have good memories of food and laughter with friends at this place.

Best curry house in London. Been dozens of times over years. Still good! Now been going for 34 years. Still good!

Food tasted ok. Portion size of meat in the chicken wrap was not great. One of the wraps I got had a piece of undercooked chicken. Not the best experience.

Been coming here since the 90's and it hasn't changed much - but this is a good thing if you want good quality, authentic Indian food at reasonable prices (especially considering it is a stones throw from the City). The restaurant no longer serves alcohol, however you are welcome to bring your own if you want to. (There are plenty of places nearby where you can get some beers including a mini supermarket on an adjacent street). It's East London's oldest Indian restaurant and the fact it's always full shows you the people who know about it, keep coming back.

Loved the option for full or half servings of dishes so that we could try more! The tikka masala sauce and korma sauce were both sweeter than we’re used to, but still tasty. The paneer was great—wonderful texture and taste. The service was wonderful! Attentive and friendly staff, food came out quickly, and there were little added bonuses that were appreciated such as an orange slice after dinner and mints with the bill. The ambiance was nice, and bathrooms (upstairs) were spacious and clean.

Amazing food & great service at a reasonable price.

Delicious curry and delightful and friendly staff. An incredibly good price for a meal for 6 too. I’ve been several times and am never disappointed. I thoroughly recommend!

Average food more customized to the English palates, a bit bland for my sub continent taste, Very average ambience. And Service was ok. What really threw me off was the presence of Alcohol on the premises. Their meat was Halal but naming a place Halal and having haram is not acceptable since 1939.! Halal 🚫 alcohol...

Waste of time and money.. No taste..

Very bad staff. I go there foe justeat order And the staff was so rude And didn’t replied Never visit there. Worst in town

Good restaurant for desi food. Tried the Korma and Qeema. Lovedbthe samosas. The pista kulfi could do with more sugar. Overall good budget options for desi food.

Tasty food served in a clean & busy but cold environment by friendly staff.

Tasty food served by friendly staff in a clean & busy but cold environment in the Bangladeshi restaurant which is located near the Tower of London.

Superb food, nowhere else matches this place for its curry. An institution and quite rightly. Love this place and highly recommend the chicken dansak, dhum gosht, biryani, lamb chops, kind prawn tandoori, egg curry!

Been going here for years ordered last night and the food was horrible I think it's slowly going downhill since going on Uber

Brilliant experience from beginning to end. I love this restaurant. In a world of uncertainty - you can rely on Halal for good food, great service and fabulous atmosphere!!

Food was great but the portions are on the smaller side. The service was pretty slow but it was a Friday evening so that was to be expected. I love the fact that they do half portions so you can try more of the side dishes! It’s probably better value to get takeaway though.

Taking ridiculously long time for delivery orders, even while Restuarent is not busy. I don’t think so keeping those paid customers waiting that long is good for the business.

Traditional Indian with the usual menu options, well made & tasty with decent portions for a very reasonable price - bosh

We have dined here for the first time and the food had a lot of flavours and the service was attentive, but the only reason I gave it four stars there was a big group which made a very loud noise and spoiled the experience for us. We definitely go back and try again.

The food was ok but the staff looked like they didn't want to be there.

molto buono! ottimo ristorante indiano,servizio veloce,camerieri gentili. ci ritorneremo sicuramente

ristorante indiano molto buono. ci siamo trovati molto bene e ci ritorneremo

Excellent food and good value. Friendly and helpful staff.

Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After a Long day me and my friend went there but for about 20 minutes no one came to us to take our orders despite I called waiter many times but everytime he said wait bear in mind there was no other customers NOT GOOD atleast they should take our orders Prices for food are slightly overcharged and imbalance portions of food And the food taste dreadful

Back when I tried this place (over a year ago and I only got a side of egg fried rice because I was cooking at home and didn’t feel like making rice) it was not as popular as it’s gotten. I told myself I’d leave a nice review and here I am over a year later doing it. I’m so glad to see this place picking up and I am not surprised to see the good reviews. Honestly it’s amazing!!! I don’t believe we should only consider the food when eating out. I think we should also consider the impact of our business. Such lovely people running this restaurant. Even in my pathetic excuse for an order of takeaway egg fried rice… despite it being so small, it was packaged so well, garnished, and the man even gave me a sweet 😭😭🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️. So lovely. How many businesses can you think of that put that much diligence toward such an inconsequential order. Later I recommended it to some more people and got a curry and naan - it was so yummy!!! And they have such a big selection. This review is making me wanna go back soon now lol. Highly recommend this place, I wish them nothing but the best

Best Indian in London, make sure you double check when looking at the reviews it’s Indian and not Turkish, restaurant with the same name in another part of London.

Really good food, service is perfect. Thank you !

Good food. Staff was able to help pick vegan and gluten free items. Place was packed with locals. About 4 half orders and 2 full orders of rice will get you full and be able to try a lot of food.

Best Indian food choice in Aldgate👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻service is very welcoming. Reasonable price and always delicious 😋 I come here for Friday dinner very often.

God choice of Asian food, reasonably priced.

Been eating at Halal for the past 5 years, my fiends for much longer. Excellent food, service and value. Can't recommend high enough. Go for the specials; you won't be disappointed.

I had takeaway from Halal Restaurant and was blown away at how delicious the food was! It’s the best Indian food I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to try it fresh in house.

I ordered from the restaurant through uber eats, and I didn’t receive the order, although the amount was deducted !!! And when I called the restaurant, they were passive and hung up the phone!!

I have been going to this restaurant since 1979 and the service has always been excelent as has the food. Unfortunately I took friends there last night different staff than usual who were quite abrupt and had nothing in the bar availavle other than beer red wine and vodka. The bill arrived for food then another for drinks. Very unhelpful staff who were keen for us to leave as they wanted to leave. I suggest that the owner look into this or regular customers including myself will not come back.

The food is always excellent. On this occasion we visited with my elderly mother in law and the staff could not have been more helpful and attentive.

Tasty, reasonably priced food. Friendly service.

Great food! Friendly and helpful staff. We have tried Indian Cuisine in the US and never really liked it. This restaurant gave us a new perspective. Thanks!

Amazing restaurant, very good food, well priced and great service! Well deserved service charge 😁

Great food for reasonable price. Really like that you can order half portions as can try a lot more things. Great selection of vegetarian options too, steer clear of brick Lane and try this place if in the area looking for Indian food

BYOB so really cuts down on the price and the service was lovely they even put our drinks in the fridge to keep them chilled

Welcoming friendly staff The food is absolutely delicious The decorations are classic old you feel like in the 70th but interestingly calm and relaxing Highly recommended

Always a pleasure to eat here, in the 30 plus years we have been coming to the halal we have never had a disappointing meal

One of the best restraunts period. Never disappointed on the quality if the food, the level of spice as described or portion size. Good choice of mains and very polite service, cannot fault it. Now they also let you bring your own alcohol which makes a very well priced meal even better value. Treat yourself and go here...

Absolutely fantastic. Everything we had was fantastic especially the gulab, biriyani, lamb chomps and ginger chicken. The service and staff were lovely and the place is clean! Such a hidden gem! Thank you

Waste of money food was not delicious service was to late and it’s was rude 👎👎👎

Really good food, at a very reasonable price. If you enjoy a great curry this is a very good place to choose

Rewelacyjna restauracja z najlepszym jedzeniem. Bardzo miła obsługa i kompetentną obsługa. Restauracja godna polecenia i warta powrotu.

Mal accueilli, personnel qui vous regarde fixement pendant que vous manger. Et obligation de donner un pourboire, très déçu.

The best India restaurant. The employees were so nice and the food was amazing.

The food is just great. I was craving Indian food and I was so happy to have found this place. The staff were very nice and the food was just perfect. Value for money. I'd go there again.

My London friend favorite Indian restaurant

Visited on a quiet Monday evening. Staff really pleasant and the food spot on. Extremely reasonable prices (much the same as at home) and generous portions. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely return on our next trip to London.

Although the food was very good, service was very poor. We had booked a table, but we wereshown to table in front room of restaurant, not in main area. Consequently, service was very slow. Please note that this is a byo restaurant.

Fantastic old school curry, great food, good value and byo!

Best old school curry in town. The mutton madras is a dream. Bob should be knighted.

I walked here from the London eye on a cold, brisk night. Needless to say I was ready to feast! Ordered some naan, chicken Tikka masala, bhuna gosht, and meat biryani. I was pleasantly surprised how solid the dishes were - the price was amazing for what you get! Even though it was close to closing, staff were quite attentive which made the experience that much better.

Delicious food and fast service.

Super restaurant, très bon personnel, accueillant et chaleureux. Les plats étaient très bons et goûteux !! Le restaurant est très bien placé!

Magnifique ! nous sommes parti à 3 à ce restaurant. Nous avons payé 43 pounds pour 3 plats, du riz et deux nan. en plus de nos boissons. ce qui n'est vraiment pas cher et en plus de cela s'était delicieux ! je recommande vivement !

The waiter took a 20% tip when paying without asking.

Dinner here on a Monday evening for the first time in at least 3 or 4 years. Outstanding food and service under new management. Really enjoyed it and will definitely return soon. Beautiful menu also. No alcohol served since Jan 22 so pick up on the way if required.

Great food, Karahi chicken was delicious. Naans well prepared, especially the keema one. Chicken Somasa was spot on, right amount of crunch & masala. small tiny ones but value quality over quantity.

Very authentic dishes, we thoroughly enjoyed this. Brilliant service. 9/10 definitely. Can’t give a 10 to anything that’s our only reason! Will be back soon!

Good South Asian food. Nothing extraordinary. Serving size was albeit small.

Superb food! Great service from the staff Absolute gem of a place!

The owner and staffs were very warm towards everyone.. Food and service was excellent. Looking forward to dine again with family

Original east end Indian Restaurant. As Fabulous now as it was when I went there in 1978

Delicious lamb vindaloo and gulab jamun.

Delicious indian cuisine with very friendly waiters which explain you the different meals.

Wide menu selection and friendly service. We had a lovely dinner and would definitely go back when in the area. Food was very flavourful

The best curry in London and beyond!

Food is not bad but services are strange. Taking away the remained dishes promptly and pushing us to pay the bill, when there were only 3 tables of customers at that time.

My second visit to this restaurant and i absolutely love it. They’ve kept the same old vibe of the place. It’s so underrated and deserves more attention. Ordered Bhuna Gosht, Garlic Chicken, Garlic Naan, Sweet Lassi and Gulab Jamun. Bhuna Gosht was super hot but so tasty so couldn’t stop. Their Gulab Jamun is so amazing. Definitely worth the visit.

I won't recommend this restaurant because it was below average 🙂

Fantastic restaurant proper Indian authentic cuisine. Highly recommended 👌

Ci sono tornato dopo 4 anni, una garanzia! Tutto buonissimo e prezzi giusti

Good food, nice service Andrea Brilliant! And the liver was very tasty!

Absolutely superb food, excellent customer service, would highly recommend 👍

Among my favorite Indian restaurants in London. Friendly staff. Simple interior. You can bring your own alcohol. Plenty of dishes to choose from and the waiters help you to make a good choice. Very fair prices.

Had an excellent takeout lamb mushroom gosht. Room still smelled great the next morning. Will be back for more.

Had dinner there last night... Was an old school Indian restaurant... Which I like... The food was really nice... And next time I'm in the area will go back

Best Indian restaurant in the city. Been going for years

My friend and I just had a joint 70th birthday meal at the Halal. We had the front annexe to ourselves. It was a bit tight to squeeze us all in but well worth it (24 in a room meant for 22). Several family members messaged to say how good the food was. My friend and I have been going there for nearly fifty years and the quality has remained the same. Whenever he comes to London we go there. It is our happy place. It isn’t smart to look at but they do give you bliss on a plate.

Good food, fresh lime soda very reminiscent of India. Large portions meant we were too full for dessert.

Fully satisfied with great services
