Hichki Mumbai Kitchen in Tower Hamlets

Slowest initial service I’ve ever experienced, waited for around 15 minutes to order drinks, there were two other covers at the time, we occupied the third table. Waitress seems uninterested and indifferent and rather lazy. No sign of anyone else to take our orders. Two margaritas eventually turned up and did not resemble the description either in taste or look. Tasted horrid. All the food turned up at once rather than the starters first. Spring rolls were cold and bland (straight out of a bulk buy freezer bag?) - sent them back to re heat - no apology, more indifference, disrespectful. Food itself was not tasty and there was nothing whatsoever nice or special about it. Service was poor with no enthusiasm or respect for these customers. I refused to pay their service charge of course and it was still probably the worst £67 I’ve ever spent on food. I felt embarrassed to have booked a table in this place of eating with my daughter, really horrid experience. So many other better options within walking distance of this place which I wish I’d explored.

Péssimo atendimento, meu pedido não foi o mesmo que solicitei,simplesmente me ofereceram molho apimentado em vez do frango q pedi,arroz gelado ,infelizmente não indicaria ....

Hichki exceeded all my expectations! The food was a true representation of authentic Indian flavors, and the service was exceptional. A must-visit for anyone seeking a culinary adventure in London.

Comida muy rica, aunque algo picante para nuestro paladar mediterráneo: diferentes platos de pollo y cordero, arroz y samosas. El servicio fue fantástico.

Poor service, took ages to take order. Once ordered the main was out within 5 minutes so not freshly cooked. Drinks and cutlery hadnt made it to the table before the food. Staff were nowhere to be seen and were miserable throughout. Food was bland and cold. The tikla massala taste like tomato soup with chicken in. I ended up throwing up straight after the meal in the restaurant toilet.

This is one of the most authentic Indian food and snacks I’ve eaten. Forget the Bengali run brick lane, unless that’s what you like. The restaurant at the front is quite informal and modestly decorated. However, they have a 150 seater function room at the back fully equipped with a bar, disco lights and a dj. We celebrated a youthful 60th over here, which was a resounding success. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly with not a negative word said. We had a cross section of friends and family. Infact, they still talk about it. The proprietor went out of his way to make this night amazing. He had ordered a SURPRISE bangra dholak drummer to bring in the cake- wow! The three course dinner was brilliant and appreciated by all, children were served stir fry and chips. The staff were just brilliant and a renowned dj from radio got everyone on their feet. I recommend this place highly.

Was so angry for coming here. Everything here was bad. Very overpriced food for tiny portions. Food tastes okay…if you were getting it from your local takeaway. Took about 20 minutes to take our order. The service was abysmal; had to ask multiple times to actually get napkins, or chilli sauce or extra Nan. By the time they bought the nan I sent it back as the rest of our food has gone cold.

This place doesn't get enough good reviews! People should really try it out. I don't normally like 'fusion' menus and, to be honest, I just went for the Indian stuff on the menu but the food I had was brilliant. We loved it all. There's a lot of compeition in this part of London, and this is the best I've eaten at which are in the mid-price range of food. It's not an extensive menu, but the food is really tasty! I'm leaving the East End soon, and I will miss this place.

Service was rubbish and they had rats running around which was so disturbing. Lady had long nails which was touching the food and put me of eating. They noticed that we had seen the rats and didn’t mention anything. Overall bad experience.

Great Authentic Indian food. Atmosphere, OK. Bit expensive, but it is London and parking was atrocious.

We were seated by a very grumpy waitress and waited about 25 minutes for someone to come to take our order. Food took very long time to come, all the food were cold when it arrived. We ordered lamb biryani which was really horrible, meat was dry and burnt, there's more clove and black pepper then rice. Chicken Jalfrezi was taste less, all I could taste is tomato. The severs were all moody/grumpy. Nice restaurant, average food and over priced. They have put the price up for Ramadan. Prices a very much different then what they advertise online i.e Chicken Lollipop online it says £7.50 but on the Ramadan menu it's £ll. Table next to us were complaining about the price to the waitress. I won't be visiting these place again.

Found this place by chance for a lunchtime visit. I had the chicken tikka and it was absolutely delicious. Tasty and tender. Lovely decor and great service at an affordable price. A real gem on the Whitechapel road

Very pretty restaurant with lots of potential but extremely poor customer service. We ordered our starter and drinks and mains to come later. All the food arrived at the same time so by the time we finished the started, our mains got cold!!! Once we finished, they didn’t bother to take the dirty plates. We wanted to relax after dinner. It was really hard trying to get the attention of the waiters even though the restaurant was not busy! There was only 3 tables of people.

I am a person who does not go and start posting reviews after a meal but this one I had to... Apart from the fact that it is terribly overpriced for such small portions. I spent nearly £60 but didn't even feel filled up and no I am not massive. But I don't mind that too much but for me, decent service is what I pay for! It was a decent start, we entered about 1.5h (9:30pm) before closing. We ordered food and drinks and waited about 45-50 minutes while other tables came after were being served. The restaurant was hardly busy. Food finally came but I can already see the waiters are rushing to close for the day. We asked for our drinks twice, the first time completely ignored, and then a second time, we were already halfway through the food. But this is nothing, wait to hear this! While we were still eating, a waiter came and asked if we wanted our bill, then started to take empty dishes and asked for the dish that was fully, if I wanted it packed for takeaway, we were still eating!!! It was 10:45 at that time and they say they close at 11. But we waited and waited to be served! I have never had a service this bad and rude ever and I feel angry, as a local will make sure no one I know thinks about wasting their money. If only the service was as beautiful as the restaurant decor. Looks can be good for a new starter but service and quality is key, look at Lahore on Commercial road for example!

Good food and nice location and place. We also use to regularly order the Chicken Biryanis on ubereats that were £13.95 buy one get one free.. but now its gone up to £17.95.. which makes it expensive now when you add on delivery and service charges. Such a shame as we use to like the odd biryani takeaway.

We found the place by coincident and we liked it! Small indian dishes. Tasty and nice! We ate different things from the menu.

The service was impeccable by Sarang & Hina they recommended certain Asian food …, the food was second to none … absolutely delicious definitely recommend and definitely will be returning with friends Alfie & Debbie 💕🙏

The food is amazing as well as the ambiance! Customer service was efficient and helpful in ordering food. My favorite meal in London!

Most amazing food in london . The staff was so so welcoming and respectful. Special mention to mr sarang who is a gentleman. Looking forward to more visits.

Hadn't been for a while but glad to see it's still a great restaurant. Shared the half Tandoori chicken to start with my friend and had the Mumbai Lamb Masala and Buna Gosh to share too as main cources. Spicy fried rice and garlic naans...

Liked to look of this place and the food was okay. But would say the quality of our meal is the same as pretty much like most places you’ll find in Brick Lane. The concept of a set menu was a bit odd in that...

The atmosphere was lovely, beautiful decor and the meal was pretty great too!....... Then I got a massive stomach ache during the night. For me, it was more of an inconvenience as I have IBS and things tend to move through me pretty quickly. My...

I went for a meal for my birthday on a Saturday night. We were a table of 14. The restaurant were very good at accommodating a large booking, which I amended a few times too. The back of the restaurant was quite empty for a...

The meal and service that we have received here this evening ranks amongst some of the best I have ever received. The service was attentive, food very well presented and tasty and extremely good value for money. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and you...

Meal out with the team at Hichki Whitechapel. Food was disappointing. One of the worst Indian meal I had. For £25 per person, they gave us the following to share between 4 people: plate of wings (1 per person), plate of samosa (1 per person),...

We went on a Saturday night, after walking around trying to find somewhere to eat quite late, we stumbled across this hidden gem (that wasn’t hidden at all because it’s on the main road). The food service and atmosphere was amazing. The flavours were immense!...

Completely renovated to a high standard but have retained their wonderful menu Absolutely fabulous food as always Had the pani pouri for starters with vegetable manchurian and cooked perfectly Hubby had chicken which was beautifully prepared and cooked with lamb main and a huge bowl...

I love Hichki! Eaten here 4 times (3 in and 1 take away) and it never disappoints. The food is superb, some of the best Mumbai street food I’ve eaten outside of mumbai! Always bursting with flavour and never greasy which a lot of India...

Avoid! Below average food - minted lamb kebabs (like frozen supermarket ones) and tandoori chicken (dry, seemed re-heated) were presented disappointingly on non-sizzling griddles. Naans that snapped in half, curries were bland, lacking flavour and spice. Far better places down the road like Zaiqa London,...

Absolutely fabulous food with unusual dishes and small plates. This far surpasses any street food I have had outside India and I have visited India over 35 times. The beetroot a salad and vegetarian manchurin were divine and great for both vegetarians and meat eaters...

Great service, friendly attentive staff. Starters and mains full of flavour. Clean restaurant with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend the butter chicken, Mumbai lamb masala and lamb chops. I’m from a Indian background and I love spices and favours, defiantly tickled my tastebuds :)...

Stumbled upon Hichki and what a surprise! Had a delicious meal, amazing service and will definitely be back!

BAD/RUDE SERVICE. COLD/BLAND FOOD. The waiters are so slow, too busy chatting away or getting distracted and they don’t all know English. The manager is the worst of them all, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE at all. She was so rude and clearly not aware how to...

Came here with friends for dinner. Food was delicious. We ordered samosa chaat, kadai gosh lamb, mumbai prawn curry and paneer butter masala together with 2 different rice and garlic naan. Relation quality/price, great. Worth a visit.

Beautiful restaurant and is really big. I generally don’t eat Indian food outside as I can make it much better at home, but we made a spontaneous decision to go out to eat. The restaurants we wanted to go to were fully booked and hichki...

Restaurant wasn't busy at all only 1 table 8ppl another 12ppl and 4ppl table Food was terrible un taste to much spiced Menu price is to hight we also try to order starter First they did have a lot time to serve starter first but...

I went there for my lunch. I had Somosa chat for starter, Chicken Tika Masala with white rice for main course and Coke to drink. The food was delicious and very filling. My bill came up to £20.00 which is fair because of the location...

It’s a Friday night in central London - better book, we said, despite the virus. And we did. We get there. They ask whether we’ve got a booking and ask for the name and show us to our table. It is cavernous and empty save...

I have always dined in Brick Lane for Indian Food. However, I passed this restaurant on the way to my usual hotel and decided to give it a try. Well you can forget Brick Lane, this street food restaurant is great. I had the best...

I went to this restaurant for lunch today with my husband and son. We had been to the a Royal London Hospital and just happened to stumble across this place on our walk back to Liverpool Street station. What a find!!!! The staff were lovely,...

Went for meal 8 of us and they did welcome us pretty good came to us straight after for drinks and then it took good 25 minutes for the drinks to arrive! We ordered mains only with some side dishes and funny enough two mains...

Great menu - lots of interesting items. Street food even. Stuff I'd never ever heard of ! The Dosas were the biggest I've seen. Service was good. Food was tasty. What's not to like?

Second visit and did not disappoint. Food was excellent and great value - the most delicious dosa I have ever had! Staff were warm and friendly and great at advising us with our choice of wine and food.

We ate at Hichki Mumbai Kitchen last night and we all had fantastic food. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. I'd highly recommend a meal at that this restaurant.

It’s a large modern space next to the Ali Gardens almost opposite Whitechapel Art Gallery, although this lunchtime the large room at the back was empty and only the front bar area was in use. I have seen and read about a lunch menu online...

I'm no Indian food expert but what my group ordered we liked. We loved the Samosa Chaat (who knew samosa could be served inside out?), the Baingan Bharta was a low point, but the Tandoor Chicken Tikka was rather tasty. The cheese naan turned up...

i stumbled upon this restaurant walking back to my hotel. Discreet entrance but beautifully decorated in modern aesthetic. I had the palak paneer and it was fantastic. Great vegetarian options and nice wine. Can’t recommend enough.

A delicious new discovery.... We stumbled across here, expecting to visit the pizza place that used to be in the building. Finding a decent Indian is a minefield round here, but we struck gold. Unlike any other Indian food experience I’ve had before. This was...

Great ambience but terrible food. The pani puri was stale and had some chewiness to it. The chefs need to check this before sending it out otherwise it looks like they are sending any rubbish out. The paneer tikka was just about okay...it was rubbery....

Great and authentic Indian food in Whitechapel . Not your everyday balti food served as ‘ Indian ‘ food . This one is as authentic as it gets . Good service , minimal decor , very affordable . I will def go back there .

Stumbled across this place and was very impressed with the food. An extensive veg and non-veg menu with a couple of vegan options as well. The food tasted really fresh and was well flavoured. I would definitely recommend and go back.

Go in there to eat...DO NOT order take away as they pack like a 2 yr old and charge fine dining rates. DO NOT order mysore masala dosa as the chef is cluleless what it means (no masala/filling in the dosa...seriously?!) and you have the...

First time visitor and will definitely be going back. The food was amazing - so many flavours coming through and it had a great atmosphere, really welcoming and relaxed. The menu gives lots of descriptions and really paints an image of Mumbai. Everything we had...

Never had Indian food like this outside of India! Few teething issues couple of dishes not turning up but sure they’ll get ironed out

Forget Chicken Tikka Masala for once. Take it to the next level. This new and spacious restaurant serves some of the best foods from in and around Bombay, the cross roads of Indian cuisine. Hence, dishes are represented from all over India, especially those inspired...

Restaurant is pretty new, opened last week of October 2019. Closed to Aldgate East station. Haven’t tried most of the food but fried rice with chilli chicken is tasty, also tried curry chicken in lunch menu is also nice. With curry chicken is better to...

Restaurant is pretty new, they just opened last week. Great lunch menu and is so close to Aldgate East station. Went there for lunch with people from the office. Food was tasty I had chilli chicken with fried rice, portion was great! £ 7.50 for...
