Jai Shri Krishna in Haringey

Jai Shri Krishna has closed! It's the end of an era! Babu has produced incredible food for 40 years - if you've not been, you have seriously missed out! Thank you Babu+!

Este restaurante es fantástico. La comida es simplemente hermosa y vale la pena viajar. No hay música de fondo, nada que lo distraiga del asunto serio de comer. El menú del mediodía tiene un valor excepcional, solo 5. 50 por un vegetal thali por uno, y hay más que suficiente para uno. Hermosa, hermosa comida, vale la pena volver una y otra vez.

Amazing home made Indian food. And also the price. I really recommend the Vegetarian Thali. The service could be a bit better from some staff, but the older man and older woman, which I believe are the owners, is very authentic.

Así que leí los comentarios en línea antes de ir aquí, que me prepararon para el servicio y qué esperar. De no haber sido así, me habría sorprendido. Nos entregaron un lápiz y papel para escribir nuestros propios pedidos. El propietario del chico llegó en un momento en que nos escuchó preguntarnos en la mesa de al lado qué cosas había en su mesa. Así que la intención, estoy seguro, fue buena. Es básicamente uno de esos tipos de personajes de "tíos sin tacto". Cuando preguntamos por una comida para llevar después de que nos dijeran "te oigo, no estoy sordo, ¿sabes? ’. Era como una torre india defectuosa a veces. Nos reímos de ello y fuimos muy elogiosos con la comida, que incluso recibió una sonrisa del tío. Entonces, ¿por qué ir cuando sabes que el servicio será tal? Bueno, la comida es de la calle verde. Absolutamente auténtico y sabroso, ligero. Tuve los poppadoms más ligeros que he comido. Los curries eran perfectos, compartimos un thali grande que nos dio varias cosas para probar. También tuvimos un paneer dosa que fue increíble y kutchkuri y un chaat starter y chile mosa. Estábamos tan impresionados por el menú que realmente sobre ordenado, pero fue agradable tomar las sobras a la izquierda. Me encantó todo, aparte de la paratha que era un poco pesado. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que solo aceptan PAGOS EN EFECTIVO! Una vez más leí esto en unas pocas críticas, así que estaba preparado. La comida es extremadamente razonable aquí. Definitivamente regresaría. Consejo principal, traer dinero en efectivo y un buen sentido del humor! :)

Buena comida y ambiente encantador! . . . El personal es encantador y muy amable. . . Me comprometí con ellos y tuve una charla encantadora con los dueños. Ignora los comentarios acerca de que son groseros. ¡Generalmente ese tipo de personas están proyectando cuán groseros son! ! ! Me encanta el ambiente realmente tradicional por dentro. . . El Sag Aloo como ya se mencionó es increíble! Los precios son muy buenos también.

I order takeaways from here often. They always have a great selection of vegan food. Always super tasty and very cheap. their Saag Aloo is amazing!

Have been visiting Jai Sri Krishna for years and have always thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food is wonderfully tasty and authentic and very reasonably priced. Every dish works and I've tried most of them. The owner and his staff are very friendly and while it's not the most glamorous of venues, it is one of the most charming. Go and try!

An extensive and varied vegetarian menu that is very affordable. The food always tastes great and cannot fault the staff!

I live outside of London but always endeavour to visit this place when I am near by. The food is absolutely delicious some of the best I've had and when I queried with the owner about what dishes could be made vegan he was more than happy to help and I was pleased to find almost any dish on the menu could be made suitable! The fact I can write down my own order I find very useful so I can specify if any modifications are to be made. Definitely try this place you will not be disappointed!

Been here a few times now.Cheap as anything. Great food,always fresh and tasty and nice relaxing atmosphere plus b.y.o so a bonus!

Aléjate! ! Experiencia horrible. Camarero nos dio el menú, bolígrafo y papel vacío, nos pidió que escriba lo que dow quieres comer y desapareció. No tenía idea sobre camarero precios, precios rectificado 3 veces de hablar con el propietario. El propietario quiere hacer dinero en cada creo que pequeño. Como pickle, chutney de extra. No se sorprenda si cobran por sal y papel. Dosa estaba frito. India del sur sabían como del norte de la India y del norte de la india thali sabían como Bangladesh, la comida horrible de degustación. Nunca volveremos a visitar.

No visitar este restaurante. Asquerosa la comida insípida y equivocada. Nunca he visto un dosa Instituto promueven servido con salsa de menta y de tamarindo. Lo más importante sin una salsa de coco blanco y sin que el sabor de Sambhar Sambhar. Nosotros nos sentamos junto a los propietarios con los clientes en voz alta viendo vídeos en su teléfono. Tuvimos que solicitar que baje el volumen. No hay disculpas para eso. Solo aceptan efectivo en vez hacer caras cuando les pide una máquina más efectivo. Nunca volveremos de nuevo

The (supposed) manager is always rude, has no time to answer questions and treats customers as if he is doing them a big favour for selling food to you. Not just this time, but many times in the past. Needs to be taught basic manners and some managerial skills.

The food was tasty and such good value for money, we all ordered the thali (platter of several dishes) which I highly recommend and it’s brilliant how we could bring our own wine.

This was the most delicious food ever and so well priced. Its not fancy inside but don't let that put you off

Visited this and their other restaurant in Stroud Green many times over the years - still amazing! May not have the frills of posher restaurants but food is made with skill and love. The owner is one of the humblest, most hardworking men you are ever likely to meet - the consistently low prices show that profit is certainly not the driver for this amazing man who has fed countless people on a budget for many years. I understand he has a big birthday coming up and we'd like to wish him an incredibly happy birthday. South Indian cuisine at its very best - the Bhel Poori, Patra, Jeera Aloo and Red Cabbage with Apple curry have always been a joy.

The owner is very rude and the food is below average. Me and my friend were asked to leave the restaurant because we did not order enough food for him to make enough profit.

Loved this place! Went as a vegan and a coeliac and both very well catered for. Staff were knowledgeable about all menu ingredients so ordering wasn’t an issue. Simple food but very well done and reasonably priced too (especially with the BYOB policy). Highly recommended.

Great place. Quality food and excellent service. Definitely would recommend this place. Very friendly staff.

This place was a surprise find. It is pleasant with various indian vegetarian dishes to choose from. The prices are very reasonable & the food is freshly prepared. The place is run by a family who are friendly.

We were extremely hungry, proper peckish, 100% full on cheekyness ready with their byob policy and our two bottles of the strongest wine on hand. Banging food, tasty, although not painfully spicy as we usually go for. Shout out to the chilly chutney sauce; is...

Came here with a friend and we had a lovely meal. It's lo-fi, simple dining, but we loved the warm charm of the service. The dishes are small so get around 2 to 2 and a half each, priced at around 4 pounds. This allowed 2 of us to get 4 different dishes and share which gives a lot of variety. The food is very authentic and some might not be all tailored to the British palette. The aubergine curry was reasonable but not outstanding, but the malai kofta was excellent. The gajar halwa dessert was lovely too. The service was very friendly and we felt so welcome, we will come back whenever we can.

This is a basic, no frills restaurant. Staff are friendly, service good and food tasty. Good selection of veggie food, freshly cooked. Very reasonable.

Deliciosa y creo que todo en el menú es menos de £4. La auténtica comida india. Mejor que dishoom.

Fantástica comida, excelente relación calidad-precio y personal amable. Una amplia variedad de opciones, desde el menú, y el thali es especialmente bueno. Altamente recomendado.

Este restaurante es sin duda la mejor comida india que he probado, en el REINO UNIDO o fuera, y pasé 3 meses viajando por la India! Solía ser uno de nuestros residentes cuando mi pareja y yo vivimos en Turnpike Lane, y sin embargo ya que mover todavía nos alegraría viajar una hora al otro lado de Londres, justo para comer aquí. La comida es auténtica", en el sentido de que no es 'anglicised India", pero exactamente el tipo que te dan en la propia India. Yo diría que tiene un ángulo más meridional kerelan/, con paratha y dosas en vez de pan nan y kormas. El personal gujurati son amables y acogedores, y aunque es un elemento informal de servicio elf (escribir su propio pedidos), también es traer tu propia bebida, haciendo que una ganga. Curry son típicamente menos de £4, y son unas de las más aromáticas y sabrosas que encontrará en cualquier lugar que vayas. Nuestros favoritos personales que tenemos sin falta cada vez que ve son los Bartha Benghain Sarson, el Masala, arroz de coco, las suaves y 'patra" (hojas de mostaza ruedas caramalized). Todo el menú es 100% vegetariana, y la comida saludable y los gustos de la 'carece de grasa que a menudo puede dejar sensación de enfermos después de una comida típica de la India. Por esta razón, sentimos el Restaurante Turnpike lane es mucho mejor que su hermano en el parque Finsbury outlet, en la que encontramos la comida a ser notablemente más aceitosa.

La comida tardó muchísimo y en términos de ambiente no hay ninguno. Sin embargo, para una comida como que no importa! Estaba delicioso y me recordó a casa. Fui con alguien que nunca había comido comida india y fue completamente restaurado y completamente limpiado los platos. El lugar podría ser más limpio. Está bien de precio para lo que es, sin embargo, deberían comenzar a tomar tarjetas etc. es 2017. En general, una deliciosa comida

I've eaten here quite frequently over a number of years with friends and family, in groups of 2 to 12 or more. Delicious food, very cheap prices especially at lunchtimes. Great place!

This is a low key & slightly scruffy but very authentic restaurant I've eaten exactly the same food in India . The food is almost always good quality and the lassi drinks are authentic. The green chilly chutney is amazing

Some of the food is excellent. Have often had a thali here and never been disappointed. Also the chaat and dosas are lovely. However, some of the curries tend to be very very oily, even more so than a tandoori restaurant, although, at least the food here is authentic.

This is Guajarati home cooking at its best. The restaurant is calm and on a Wednesday night there are just a few couples eating. Take a menu to your table and note your order on a slip of paper. The menu runs to 6 A4 pages so there should be something for everybody. This is a bring your own so once you've ordered, crack open a beer and wait for the feast to arrive.We started with a mix of cauliflower and aubergine bhajia - hot and succulent with sour tamarind sauce on the side and a masala dosa. Then as mains we had aubergine curry, mixed veg korma, spinach curry and a selection of poori (fried pillows of wheat flour that puff-up into air filled cushions), stuffed paratha and rice. The currys are delicately spiced and a great combination with the various breads and rice being used to mop-up the succulent sauces.We finished with kulfi ice creams and a bill of well under £40 for four of us - outstanding value in London for food of this quality

My manager informed me about this place as he was a vegetarian.​ I used to have takeout for my lunch break. The food quality is very nice, not long queue. Later they used to deliver the food once I go and place the order for lunch. Very helpful staff and good price. We all liked the food from their restaurant.

We came here for a late weekday meal; really warm welcome and service from the host. It is BYOB with very cheap corkage (30p per btl of beer) and a great selection on the menu. We had garlic popperdums (i recommend this!) And green chilli ones too. Spinach pakoras are amazing - fresh and crispy! We choose a lentil, and a pumpkin curry, with lemon and cashew rice. Fantastic and fragrant dishes, really filling! The lemon rice is a must order! Altogether, slightly over twenty pounds - great value. Great find at turnpike lane; will come again☺

This place is objectively terrible. Avoid it in any case!The foods are not particularly disgusting but they are very oily and horribly salty. You can see that they use a lot of spice and because of that the foods could've been nice but the amount of salt covers any interesting taste and the oiliness stops you from even trying to enjoy the food. In general I'd say a week of eating the food served here can give you a fatal heart attack.But the quality of food is not the main problem with Jai Shri Krishna. The service here is ridiculous. We walked in and immediately felt kind of claustrophobic due to lack of any air conditioning. There was a fan set for a table and another which was broken. We asked whether they can set the functioning fan to turn so we can have a bit of breath as well and instead they went and turn the fan towards us without even asking the people at the other table whether they mind (because the fan didn't have rotation function). Of course they minded and we decided not to ruin their lunch Then a waiter came to take our orders which was giving us a piece of paper to write our orders and passing it to them. I assume they try every thing to not talk to their customers in general. They also don't accept debit/credit cards, which might not be a big problem but it certainly is a minus point. And at the end I should mention that the place is not the cleanest and thus not pleasant to eat at. Overall, in the name of human's dignity, I think nobody deserves to eat at such a place.

I'm really amazed by this place! Although they where quite busy when we went there, the waiter (a very nice Indian gentleman) was completely adorable and performed a great service. The place resembles a grandma's kitchen, you can really see the middle age Indian ladies cooking in the kitchen, absolutely adorable! And the food... Is just fantastic! Full of flavors and really diverse! We had a Malagatwany soup, garlic papadam, the Thali for 1 person and Pumpkin Curry with normal rice. Everything was so delicious and the value for money is equally amazing. A dinner for two, with such a variety for less than £16.

This restaurant has its original branch on Stroud Green Road and this Turnpike Lane one opened a few years ago. I find the food a lot spicier in this one...The service is always lovely, the people are incredibly friendly.The low prices never cease to amaze me and there is a Tesco around the corner for you to BYO booze.Every vegetarian's dream! It's delicious!

All of their dishes are really tasty and great value, but their Thali is the best value of all. If you are Vegan, let them know and they will advise you which meals to go for or adjust the ingredients if possible. Great service and very friendly.

I go to this vegetarian place on a regular basis fir lunch. The lunch price performance is excellent.

Nice clean place, friendly and kind staff and delicious food, not "greasy" and fatty as others Indian restaurant. Good value for mo EY, we were all happy and we'll go back again.

It's good, really nice owners, although when I walked in on a Sunday night at 9 pm it looked like it was dead quiet. Food was good

After a little shopping I ventured in to this place.I sat down but it immediately became apparent that this place wasn't the cleanest.I picked up my shopping and went out of the door again. I am glad I did.I looked up the Food Standards Agency website when I got home and read that this restaurant received a visit from health inspectors on the 22nd January 2016 and it received a ZERO rating.Putting it in the 2% of filthiest restaurants in the UK.Anyone going into this restaurant needs there head examined.

You would have to be a complete tool like Neil to think that this wasn't a little gem of a place to eat - one of the best value restaurants in the UK.

First impressions: piles of junk stacked up en route the the dirty and uncleaned toilets. I don't mind a restaurant being more of an informal cafe, in fact I prefer it, but i do object to piles random mess that could easily be tidied up. The food was mediocre: lemon rice without lemon flavour or urid dal, dosa filled with flavourless mash and dal without character. To cap it all I was supposed to write down my menu choices on a piece of paper!This place might have been trendy in the late 60s but London has infinitely better indian veg cooking on offer in the Indian heartlands of Wembley, East Ham or Southall.

We visited Jai Shri Krishna yesterday for the first time. Astonished by the amazing food and the prices! At those prices one would expect corners to have been cut, but NO, everything was freshly and expertly prepared. The restaurant is very friendly and welcoming, A truly lovely meal and being a non-vegetarian myself, was doubly amazed... More than enough to eat, in fact it was more than I could manage! We'll certainly be returnng with the rest of our family.

One of the best places to eat in London delicious vegetarian food. Great value for money the lunch time thali is £4 and I can barely ever finish it. Slightly unconventional way of ordering but see why this would give people reason to mark down. Honestly give this place a try and you will never look back!!!!

Have been going regularly here for the last year and been impressed with all the dishes and how reasonably priced it always is. The Dosas are excellent with large tasty fillings and all the vegetable currys are well cooked from scratch and and the portions are large enough for sharing for 3 people easily. The okra curry is a personal favourite and the dhals and sags very good as well. To order the waiter gives you a note pad and you write your own order and you can bring in your own alchohol. Recommended.

We live nearby and ordered a take-away for four of us. The food was delicious. Light, tasty, perfectly spiced. Wonderful to have such a good. vegetarian Indian restaurant on our doorstep. And excellent value. I'll go in to eat sometime soon too. Can't believe I've lived here so long without going there.

Jai Shri Krishna is my favourite Indian restaurant in London - incredible cheep and very delicious food every time. It is rather rough around the edges, but the staff is very friendly and nice - and what you don't get in restaurant decoration, you get in tasty food.

Great place to come for a lovely meal that doesn't cost the earth. Lunch time thali or dosa (I prefer to get a thali) offers in particular are very very good value for money. You can bring your own alcohol for a small corkage fee and the owner and main waiter are both nice guys. As some people have mentioned on here they can be abrupt but 95% of the time they are great.

Foods normally delicious but on the ocatin, you get something like a slightly bruned dosa. But on average, great food and super value for money - epecially for lunch.

Wij kwamen hier na een lange dag Londen omdat we wisten dat het vlak naast ons verblijf was. Wij kennen niet veel van Indisch maar waren blij verrast met de pittige, kruidige smaken en zachte prijzen. Met drie personen, nog geen 10 pond elk, zonder op iets te letten. Een aanrader!

Had a thali here today. Both vegetables were not cooked properly and instead of willingly replacing or apologising was rude and actually said if you don't like don't come again! How appalling. Have been here before and although would not rate it excellent it has been good before. Poor customer service. Should take customer feedback as positive effort on behalf of customer!!! Was told other customers not complaining! But he forgets only an Indian can comment on food properly as they cook same daily at home!

We loved the dishes we ordered, really fresh and unusual, my daughter loved the pistachio lassi we love the fact it is BYO which saves money so we will make this our regular indian.

If you have not been there before can be a bit daunting. As you get seated the waiter passes you the menu and piece of paper and pen and you write what you would like.The evening Thali for two is excellent about £20 for both of you. You get 2 papadums mixed bhajis, rice and thal and you choose any other 2 curries and choice of bread followed by ice cream. Take your own drinks - off licence 3 doors away corkage of 30p a can or £1.20 bottle of wine waiter happy to provide glasses great value good value food 1 min away from Turnpike Lane station

Came to JSK because their sister concern Jai Krishna in Stroud Green which we go to more often were full for the evening.Everything was good tonight at JSK: the chaat (Paapdi chaat, bhel puri), the Nut Cutlets, the Patra, the mixed bhajia. Even the green chutney (they don't bring it with the dishes these days, you have to ask for it separately) was ultra fresh!We struggled to finish everything there (and I'm a 32 year old guy who's a pretty big eater, not some petite nibbler!)The masala chai to finish off was brilliant too. Hot and spicy.We sat around for an hour after the meal, happy and chatting away.And the cost of all that? £10.50 per person!

I often go to this place for lunch or dinner. Ive had thalis, lunch deals, dosas, and a few of the mains. I like writing my own order down, its an efficient system, and the food is always good. The surroundings are comfortable and informal and you cannot beat the price. The staff are friendly and always ask how I am which is obviously a nice welcome. I love this place, and it appeals on so many levels that im going to have my Birthday here this year. Try it, you wont be disappointed. The Mattar Paneer and dosas are my recommendation. Oh, and for a treat try the puris!

Lovely vegetarian traditional cuisine. Cheap and delicious. BYO. No complaints. Careful not to over order....enjoy.

I live about a 10 minute walk from this restaurant and pick up takeout here quite often, or else eat in with friends. It is super cheap, with a huge range of vegetarian dishes bursting with flavour. You can eat your fill for £10 easily! I'm also confused by the negativity towards the service? The owner is absolutely lovely, always smiling, and very helpful in informing what dishes you should try if you're unsure! I'm a huge carnivore, but often find myself craving something from Jai Shri Krishna. Try the Sabji Bahar, Daal Makhani and Stuffed Paratha.. although I'm still making my way through the whole menu! P.S. It's also BYO :)

I'm confused by all the negativity towards service as the staff were nothing but polite and helpful. Yes we had to write our orders on a piece of paper and return them to the register but who really cares? The food was delicious and can be made vegan or are already vegan. The price is also insanely cheap! They also do BYO with a small £1.25 corkage for wine, beers are also allowed. Very happy with our first experience and will definitely be eating here again.

The food here is so worth trying. The thali is cheap and absolutely delicious. Reviews say the service is bad but it's not, you just go up and order that's all. Worth the walk to the counter for such a great meal!

This small restaurant near Turnpike Lane station serves Indian vegetarian dishes at very good prices. I wouldn't say they are all 100% authentic, possibly around 80% maybe. All dishes I tried were tasty although tending more towards North Indian recipes.There is a strange system whereby you have to write your order in a notepad with a pencil and paper and give to the waiter. No one explains this to you, you are supposed to somehow work this out.Service can be indifferent. A single waiter who never smiles or makes any attempt at interaction is what one often finds.I am told that this place is BYO ( bring your own alcohol) although I haven't tried it myself.I might try it occasionally if I want to have some good value Indian vegetarian food but there is room for improvement on several fronts

This is one of my favourite places to eat in London. The service is basic, but the food is amazing. There's a great selection on the menu and you can BYOB. Best of all I think it's exceptional value for money,

  What a horrible place they were so rude. Don't know what the food was like we didn't get that far but I will never even try and eat there!! If you want a nice atmosphere and people who are plesent. This is not the place!!!

Absolute treat for vegetarians ..lunch thali is awsome and worth penni ..starter variety is also good and can dish few rare south indian dieshes as well ..Highly recommend :)

My husband who loves meat has fallen in love with the Jai Krishna! The food is lovely and really traditional. The prices are ridiculously cheap and it's bring your own booze. Don't let the decor put you off, it's all about the food! The owners are lovely and the service is friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend!

The vegetarian food in this unpretentious restaurant is excellent, even meat eaters will enjoy the range of dishes. The value for money is second to none and the atmosphere is always friendly. My favourite place to eat!

Been here a few times and always had the Tali which generally is good but the last time I had it it was a bit greasy. Eccentric service as there is a menu but when the waiter comes to take your order you have to write it yourself in his little book ! Staff are friendly and the service is good. The toilets are a bit dirty though.

This is a very relaxed family run vegetarian indian restaurant. The food is from the Gujarati region of India so is not generally very hot but there are options for heat lovers. The range of dishes in such a small place is amazing. The masla dosa are to die for worth the travel cost alone ! TarkaDahl is also a personal favourite. I am not a vegetarian but love the flavours and really enjoy a meat free meal. We have taken many meat lovers who really enjoyed the whole experience. The restaurant is a Bring Your Own, which means you can take the alcohol or soft drinks of your choice, (there is a small corkage fee but this is minimal) and really does keep the cost down of a meal out.The only thing left to say is go on give it a try !!

Indians' excel when it comes to vegetarian food and this place demonstrates it beautifully. I always try something different each time i visit and it's never disappointing. The thali lunches are obscenely good value and seem to change on a daily basis which makes it all the more exciting to visit. I love this place!

Very handy for groups as you can BYOB to this restaurant run by Babu and his family. It is a real bargain, and they do a £3 (ish) lunchtime thali. Downside is that it is vegetarian and the decor is not great.

The best vegetarian restaurant in London. It's got excellent value for money, the best curries (huge selection) and just everything from everything excluding meat (our favorites are pumpkin paneer and Malai Matar mushrooms). U won't see advertising for this restaurant, nor tourists. It's a little local secret. The busiest time is Friday night, but there is never music there. Could have been perfect with a bit more atmosphere but the food is SO good everything is forgiven. Service is excellent, the owners are very modest and kind, the food tastes like love. We will always go back.

Had lunch here,They do a lunch time menu, Three specials, 1/Potato Curry with 4 poori's £3.25. 2/Masala Dosa £3.50. and a Thali at £4.00. I had the Thali. First up was a spiced popadom with a small tub of mango chutney, Then the Thali, It looked really nice,but let down by the taste! It was a bit bland, but very nice very good value for money, next time I will try the potato Curry Opens Tues to Sunday No cards, b.y.o. drinks

Our son took us to this place, which is opposite Turnpike Lane tube station. What a find it is, a vegetarian Indian and I have to say the food was delicious and such good value for money. it is family run and such nice people. We were given the menu and then a small "dish of the day" piece of paper. We all decided to order the Thali as it was a selection. Can you believe this was £4?! A cup of tea was 80p! I am just surprised to see that no one has written a review, I guess they are all keeping quiet about this little gem. Do give it a try. Their opening hours are 12 - 2pm and 5.30-11pm. They also do take away.
