India India Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

An excellent Indian meal. Superb Lamb Passanda with delicate rice and a tasty Bombay Chicken salad with my colleague. If you are around the Fleet Street area they also have a very competitively priced lunch menu. Recommended.

Minimal vegetarian curry options - when a minor amendment to the one curry option was requested, we were rudely told no. Food was average and the staff were blunt and unfriendly. Despite the restaurant nearly being empty. Also, there is a misleading offer on the website of 25% off if you book in advance. This has conditions that aren't made clear to customers.

Since our last visit the venue name has changed. Previously India India nothing has changed. Service and food remain excellent. I had Chicken Madras for main with Garlic Naan and Special Rice. Very tasty. Staff are friendly and efficient. Please be aware there is a service charge.

My friends and I had dinner at the Zin on 20 June 2024, which was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant was not busy as there were only three tables with customers and the TV showed Euro football. The waiter/manager was grumpy and not friendly. Another waiter was more concentrating on watching football and not attending to the guests (I could not get his attention due to him watching TV) We ordered from Chefs Special, but the food was not good, (we had a table for 4 pax) the Shashlik (lamb skewered) was not skewered instead there were seven small pieces of lamb in a spicy sauce with a BIG tomato and mushroom which were no ingredients on the menu, BIG yellow peppers and BIG onions, the lumb was chewy and not fresh. The Mix grill was a mini mix, the whole food portions reflecting shrinkflation ... We will not be back and I will not recommend the Zin to anyone. Thankfully there are other Indian restaurants where the food is perfect and customers are welcome.

Very miserable manager. No ambience in the restaurant. Not the service we are used to at Indian restaurants. Clearly didn’t care whether he received customers or not.

Les serveurs sont accueillants et bienveillants, le repas était super bon, le service était nickel. Bonne expérience à renouveler

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This is only because I made a booking for a business lunch last week. We all showed up only to be notified with a sign on the door stating "Closed due to technical issues". They didn't even bother to notify us. How unprofessional! Have the decency to notify your customers. I made an effort to book and received a text and email confirmation. I will be adding this review onto as many sites as possible!

This place is hidden away. I am so glad we saw the sign and went into the alley/ court. The food was great. Lamb shank and Karahi Chicken were outstanding. Coconut Ice cream was a great way to finish. Their mocktails were excellent. The owner Ali was delightful and the service was topnotch. Ticked all the boxes! I hope to re-visit soon.

very tasty foods best in London we had a party with my close friends party here is lamb shank is tasty and portion is big thanks also all stuff

Beautiful restaurant on the corner near Kensal rise station. A mixture of Morrocan and Lebanese food. Food was exquisite and service is prompt and friendly. I really recommend this place. And I would travel to get here as well. So make the trip. No photos, come and see for yourself.

Very nice nice dinner we all are enjoyed specially Lamb Biryani thanks to chef We have group of people though it was quite but everybody enjoyed the dinner we had also ZIN dhaba murgh

Food was ok, service was awful and the staff were so rude and disrespectful. They were rude and abrupt to us, Water was splashed on us with no apology, we were spoken to like rubbish, orders not taken, tried to be made to order from menu's that weren't pre agreed. They made the whole experience for an important event awful. When I called today to speak to a manager about the experience a member of staff shouted at me and hung up on me twice and was really rude. I absolutely would not recommend. There has been no apology and considering the amount that was spent it was not worth it and our money would have been better spent at a business that knows how to treat it's customers with some kindness and humanity.

Owing to COVID-related issues it's been a while since my friends and I last visited this restaurant. We found the staff to be just as friendly as we remembered and the quality of the food and service was very good indeed. Given the rise in prices everywhere and the economic challenges in the UK, we felt the cost was fair and reasonable. We went on a Monday evening and were pleasantly surprised to see so many tables occupied with a good "buzz" in the air. We probably meet up about every three months and will be returning next time that's for sure.

This place is slowly turning into our annual visit for a good curry after watching 6 nations rugby at a nearby pub. This time, five of us arrived late for our reserved table but the staff were patient with us. It took a little while for all of us to get our acts together but I knew what I wanted to order - onion bhajis (2 large ones), chicken vindaloo (nice and spicy), pulau rice and a refreshing glass of chilled Cobra beer. All the food was tasty - and the service was efficient and professional. All good. We'll be back I hope - next year.

Popped in here with some friends. It doesn't look very inspiring from the outside but we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Recommended.

Always a great experience. Lovely food, staff, service and atmosphere. Well worth a visit! Vegetarian options available and tasty!

his is the best indian you can try no confusion at al tanks staff of india india their chef special dum gosh is the best

We used to come here often pre-pandemic - this was the first time since. The overall experience was very disappointing. They were busy and it took ages for the meal to come - and about half an hour between asking for the bill and paying it. The food itself was poor e.g. shashlik dishes were tasteless and lacking the promised accompaniments. The waiters were grumpy and unfriendly. What a change from our previous experience - we won’t be returning.

This hidden gem was a great find. Down an alley off Fleet Street. Food was yummy! The Aloo Gobi was the best I have ever had! Butter chicken was very good as was the dhal. We were a group of 5 and we all loved this restaurant.

I used to go here quite a lot when I worked nearby. I and a friend decided to go here for dinner on the 5 July 22. On arrival at 6 pm it was quite busy with a couple of groups of diners. Service was abysmal and we had to wait an hour for the starters to arrive. Also had to ask three times for another glass of wine for my companion. Food was good as it always was but not very cheap nowadays. Quite frankly there should have been more staff on duty to service the customers needs. Disappointing.

Waited 1.5 hours for food and then it all arrived at strange times, the curry arrived on its own and the starters arrived after the meal. Never again.

What a frustrating visit to a restaurant we had really enjoyed in a previous visit. My friend and I arrived at 2:25 pm and the waiter told us they were closed. The restaurant was open, with the sign that showed its opening hours for lunch up to be until 3:00pm on the door. There were people inside eating, at least four of them. Very disappointed to get there and be turned away. The waiter offered no explanation and went away behind the scenes.

Very friendly Staff, polite and professionals ,great and fresh food, coming here for years nice atmosphere. At least twice a Month we come here to eat.

We had the most succulent,tastiest takeaway tonight. Thank you so much. No other restaurant compares.

Found this restaurant on goggle ,starters small but well presented ,we had chicken tikka, beautifully cooked. The main meals and two sides didn't disappoint , all of a high standard. Prices wont break the bank . Will book again next time we are in London.

Food was very good, nothing outstanding but just what you want form a curry house, we were last to leave but staff were great at not hurrying us out. Will visit again

I found this restaurant on an internet search for Indian food near Chancery Lane. It is tucked away in a quiet alleyway off The Strand, very close to the law courts. Myself and two old friends travel to London from time to time from our...

Had a lovely meal here, a true hidden gem, delicious food and brilliant service!! Will definitely visit again!

Visited on what we hoped might be a relatively quiet early Thursday evening to discover the restaurant was in a basement and on arrival there was only one other table occupied. Problem was, that table was 6/7 very noisy, sweary and very drunk people. Lots...

I visited as a group of three friends on a Friday evening. The service was excellent. As we are just emerging from lockdown, the waiting staff wore masks and everything was Covid secure. Two of our group asked for dishes not on the menu. They...

We were staying in Fleet street and needed a bite on our last evening, nearby and in the pouring rain. Have to admit the name didnt do much and when the signs kept pointing us around another corner, and then down some stairs, I was...

Visited today, nice location and great food. Service was great by the manager and waiter. Would recommend and go again.

Fantastic food the best chicken shashlik I have ever tasted.Four of us said how Much we enjoyed the food waiter was excellent and very friendly. Highly recommend this Restaurant.A Gem.

Full of noisy lawyers who probably find it ridiculously cheap. But for average Joe Public like me, £30 for starter, main, nan & beer is a bit pricey. But this is the City. But the food. Wow. Great lamb tikka starter and then an absolutely...

A group of 7 of us descended on this restaurant having spent the earlier part of the day watching 6 Nations rugby in a nearby pub. Fortunately one of our party knew where to find this place which was quite well hidden from view down...

This was a bit of a mixed bag… The place itself doesn’t have an appealing entrance – it’s a doorway in the street and that has to go through before going down some stairs and around the corner to enter the restaurant – so this...

Working in London and treat myself to lunch at India India. It was quiet so service was very good, waiting staff polite. Food was excellent, very tasty and good portion sizes. Well worth a visit!

I booked this via 'First Table' and wish I never did. The restaurant firstly looked like some old 90's nighclub but I would have looked past that if the food wasnt absolutely shocking. I ordered the Bengal Fish Curry which was frozen fish thawed and...

Spending a weekend in London. Found this restaurant, last time we were here, two years ago. Both food and service were excellent, and all at a reasonable price. I ate the lamb dupiaza. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and presentation. Service was excellent. Recommend this place for a special occasion.

The restaurant is located somewhat hidden near Underground Station Blackfriars. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Also the children felt very comfortable. We can recommend this location.

Went for lunch here (although I don't normally eat Indian food at lunch!), and was seated immediately. Service was great, food was great - a little pricey, but reasonable given the good service and quality of food. Generous portions mean that you're filled up nicely!...

The restaurant is lovely and cosy inside. We received friendly and efficient service and the food is DELICIOUS. I Highly recommend!

We went here to have some authentic Indian food. For starters, the music was on repeat for about 5 songs and very loud (with poor quality). The waiter spoke little English. We ordered sag paneer and butter chicken (chicken tikka masala) along with garlic naan....

I wanted authentic Indian dishes and one was excellent (spicy garlic chicken) and the other terrible (Lamb Korma), which was sweet. When I protested the sweetness I was told that was how the dish was supposed to be. Since when? I've had this dish all...

We had a Wowcher, which cost £30 for 2 people, for a 2 course meal and a glass of wine, plus a naan and rice to share, which Wowcher said was worth around £44, had we paid in full. Had we gone in off the...

The food was absolutely terrible, disgrace to Indian food. The staff were rude until we cancelled our mains then became very apologetic. I wouldn't even reccomend this restaurant to my enemy...

My 4th visit to this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Very, very good. I had the Goan Garlic lamb which was superb

We came here last weekend with out two children. The restaurant was not particularly busy but we felt a bit rushed. The special that my husband had was really bad, none of the food had any seasoning and the chicken tikka tasted exactly like a...

The food was ok, but the staff was unfriendly, impolite and not willing to serve. Not recommended. There are a lot of other great restaurants in Central London.

This restaurant is ideally located in a prime spot near the business district and one of few which remains open on Fleet Street at night. however the quality of food is sub standard. their tandoori chicken is a quarter chicken obviously stove top or oven...

Me and my daughter had a lovely meal here , after she recommended it to me . She had been before with her work mates , and had enjoyed the food so much. We ordered our papadoms, and drinks , then checked out the mains...

The staff attentive and the whole ambience was warm . There were small group of us booked and throughout the service could not be faulted and not one complaint was made. The food was quite excellent : the sauces were balanced the veg and meat...

Lovely, clean restaurant. Friendly and very attentive service. Food very well presented for our staff party. Fantastic restaurant! The ambience here is just perfect for a lovely, relaxed dining experience in an very warm welcoming environment. The service is world class, everyone is just so...

The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff is knowledgeable, smart and very helpful. The cocktails menu is limited but all the cocktails that we had were outstanding. Recommend the happy hour between 5-7 We had the set menu and the whole experience was a delight from...

The venue had undergone renovations. The quality of the food remains superb. The ambiance is really good with candle lit room and best indian curry I have tasted. They offer one of these sharing platters and thali which are really to die for. The offerings...

Second visit since the old Temple Bar days. Took friend who was very disappointed as had previously visited a few years ago and was a 5* experience then. Average cuisine but prices have increased a little too much. Still clean and tidy, but food not...

Visited India India expecting something special. Instead we got average service, average food for a premium price. I honestly feel we would of been better off finding a backstreet curry house. Definitely one for the tourists and city boys.

A hidden gem in London, just off Fleet Street. Great for large parties like ours where they serve a mixed sharing platter to start - Tikka, Bhajis, Paneer & Seekh Kebabs. The Goan dishes are particularly good as main courses. Highly recommended

Our party of six really enjoyed this on Thurs evening. Friendly personable staff providing prompt service and excellent food. The 50% midweek discount on food made it great value. We'll be back, thank you (Mr Norman)

We stumbled upon this restaurant while suddenly hungry in this area and not having any idea where to go for dinner. We happened to walk right by it and decided to give it a try. We were the only ones there when we arrived. I...

I went last evening for dinner at India India. The food was amazing and the staff courteous and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!

I’ve been here a couple of times now. Both times the service has been really attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The best peshwari naan I’ve ever had! Looking forward to getting back in there again.

Went here for a birthday dinner and had a really good time. Food was delicious and service was great! They even gave us complimentary drinks as a b'day treat which was nice. I will definitely be back. Best wishes to the team.

We went there as my son's 100days anniversary. It was a bit difficult to get down to the basement floor with a push chair but the restaurant was fully air conditioned and wide (there is no baby change facility though we survived using our pushchair...

Quiet and comfofrtable atmosphere. Food is good for the price. Recently lunch menu became available which is much more reasonable. Recommendable.

It was good food !!! and we enjoyed it very much. It was quite hard to find the location. It is located business district. We went to Saturday night. so this place was very quiet. so if you want to eat good Indian food on...

I discovered it through Google maps, decided to go there for dinner with a friend based on positive recommendation. The food was good, ambience was reasonable - but because it's underground, it makes the place a bit dull. The food and drinks were good. It...

I often use India India for business lunches as well as personal meals. The service team are helpful, knowledge and friendly. Great food and well cooked. My recommendation...go here lunch or dinner!

I am a little biased as I go here regularly. Great food and great staff. With a good lunchtime special menu to a varied specials and al a carte the food is very good. The lunchtime meals are just the thing to get you through...

India India is a gem of a restaurant which is hidden away just off Fleet Street, in Crane Court. We discovered it through Groupon and decided to go there this evening. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing and the food is perfect...

Great location for the legal area. Situated down an alley. Hospitable staff. Plenty of space (very few were there on the Tuesday night we went). Varied menu. But the food did not wow. It was fine, but nothing special or particularly tasty. Good value with...

A beautiful gem in a somewhat hidden location just off Fleet street. Extremely tasty dishes and a wide selection. Not cheap, but well worth it. Highly recommended

I stubbed upon the place. The food was excellent. Their curries really authentic. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Really enjoyed our visit. Definitely go back.

We went to India India because it accepts Tastecard and apparently offers 50% off all food items. However, we found out after we had ordered them that poppadums don't count as food. We were also told we had to order a starter and a main...

We have a taste card so decided to give this place a try. Little hard to find as it's down a small passage off of fleet street. The staff were welcoming and the service was good. The choice of food is excellent, even for me...

London has many great curry places, but there are also a lot of restaurants that just try to be trendy with average to mediocre food quality. This place changed ownership last year. The food is still quite good if you experiment and order right dishes...

The food was fairly good but being on a birthday meal out hoped for more of an atmosphere. It was a Saturday night at 8pm and there was only one other table.

I must say the food in here is. Brilliant went tonight for valentines day and haven't got one complaint food was delicious staff was so friendly service was really good would highly recommend this restaurant would definitely go back

When we walked past the entrance to the court earlier in the evening a guy gave us a flyer - this gave us a taste for an Indian. After a few drinks we returned. I’m normally a bit funny about restaurants where I can’t see...

The staff were friendly and the restaurant warm and cosy. The house red wine was tasty. Sadly we were only 1 of 2 tables of diners on a Saturday evening between 6 and 8pm which made the atmosphere quite flat. The food tasted nice however...

Very attentive staff, good food and filling portions. We all found some excellent bits. Indian fine dining in recently refurbished/rebranded premises. Would go back

I had been a regular at the Temple Tandoori for about 8 years. Sadly it closed last October and a new venture has reopened in its place which has an existing branch at Cannon Street. The bathrooms have had a makeover, the tables now have...

We were very hungry and almost ordered everything on the menu, I wish I could remember everything that was served, but let's just say we ate every single drop of food on our plates and wished the night would never end. The staff were on...

I have been coming to this place for 15-20 years, in its former guise as The Temple Tandoori. It used to be tired and dated, with food that was average at best. But crucially, it knew its place and priced accordingly at around £45 for...

Was a little underwhelmed visiting this restaurant with an Indian Colleague from Surat - the menu was large - except in the one area he was looking for - vegetarian, where the offer seemed very limited and uninspired. Menu fine for an English customer looking...

Good food and because of tastecard fair value for City of London. Food was tasty and not swimming in grease which is good, We were a party of 8 so service wasn't great but apart from that pleasant enough. Roomy restaurant décor ok

Just had our second visit within a week to this amazing Indian restaurant and once again it didn't disappoint. Service is exceptional, and the food is the best I have tasted outside of India itself! We had three starters and two mains to share and...

I met a friend after work for dinner and we decided to try India India which is tucked away in a courtyard just off Fleet Street. I’d been there before under previous ownership and enjoyed the food, but this visit was different. The restaurant has...

We've known India India Restaurant since it opened and it has always delivered the best service. We normally came here after work and food is always delivered on time. More recently, we went to eat in the restaurant and we were well looked after by...

My wife and I visited India India on a cold early Monday evening, but the welcome could not have been warmer. The restaurant was very comfortable and relaxing. Under new management, we found that the range of choice and the quality of preparation of the...

When I was told we were going here for dinner last Week I'd assumed it was a "normal" curry house. When we got there and looked at the menu, I realised it wasn't that at all. This place definitely sells itself as gourmet Indian and...

An excellent restaurant! Superb food and some of the best customer service I've had in a while. Great lunch option with decent servings. Delicious Indian curries for dinner with impeccable service, at a decent fair price. Full of flavor, but not heavy on spicy heat....

Having been to the temple Tandoori many times over the last 20 years, we went to this evening (Friday 3 November) to find it had been taken over and is now called the India India restaurant. The ambience of the restaurant was very good. Food...
