Jol Sagar in Newham

Really pleasant meal Visited with my family on a Saturday night. We all cleared our plates. I really enjoyed the Madami Chicken, very sweet. The portions were sensible and fairly priced too. We left feeling full without overdoing it like is often the case at Indian takeaways! It was very quiet but they mostly do takeaways. That's also reflected by the size of the place and the limited bar. The service was fantastic.

Excellent food, great service, wonderful staff, absolutely loved our visit.

Probably the worst Indian takeaway I've ever ordered. Neon Red Chicken Tikka full of food colouring, frozen, reheated stale chicken. Weirdly sweet naan bread, that was so thick it was more like a western loaf. Lamb Rogan josh was stale, clearly frozen as the curry was collapsing on itself and all the oil was rising to the top, all congealed together like a paste. Absolutely vile, I would never order from here again. For some reason it was recommended by Uber Eats, for the love of God I have no idea why. Are you guys cutting corners or you just don't care? Your products are awful guys.

First time trying the Jol Sagar service, very lovely food which filled me and my father up the waiter was very kind to us if you have never tried Indian food highly recommend it .

Also not forget, as I was fasting I was given a complimentary meal as I was waiting for my order. Thank you once again truly.

New management customer service has always been good thos new management service has improved alot from the past food was at a reasonable price was a very good price.

I have been using Jol Sager for over 4 years and have never had a reason to complain. The food is absolutely stunning and in my opinion very well priced, also delivery is very quick. Keep up the good work and sorry I never left the review earlier.

Absolute joke of a service. Gave food to driver without checking confirmation. Our food got taken by the driver and restaurant refused to accept responsibility. Only ordered as it’s local. To be honest food is cheap low tier Indian. Rather put out extra money for a proper service.

Excellent food and excellent service

It was amazing dinner with my family,the service was very good,all staffs are very friendly also the cuisines was delicious.

An amazing restaurant with a good presentation of the cuisines, well enough place to sit and eat, services provided by the restaurant is on top level, all staffs are friendly, chicken tikka was delicious, you can have a cup of or tea, there is place to sit outside as well, overall it’s 10 on 10 for me.

3 prawns in a curry is totally unacceptable..and the bread was burnt like charcoal...terrible

I had an amazing time here at Jim Sagar tonight. The food was amazing and both me and my partner have new favourite curries! We WILL be back!

The best indian food that i eat in my life. Thank you so much chef and all the staff. 😇

I ordered via Deliveroo. I was given the wrong items. I requested a redelivery of the correct order items but was refused. I was also refused a refund. I am very disappointed at this service. Will not be ordering from this restaurant again. At this point it’s nothing short of theft. The food they delivered was not touched I said they could have it back and I was treated appallingly.

Very good and friendly service. Lovely food very flavourful and not oily at all. Very good selection of drinks.

This is the best indian food I have ever had. We have gotten Jol sagar many many times on Deliveroo and it never disappoints. We have tried many dishes and they are all so delicious, and even tastier the next day!

I took my friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan to try some authentic East End Indian, Bengali food. The staff member was very friendly and good service.

I ate in. Food was good, very tasty. Attentive service and a good price. Well worth a visit.

Always very tasty but sometimes the chicken can be a bit tough.. overall great value for money.

This is bad. I ordered on UberEast and thought this was legit Indian food. (I am not newcomers to Indian cuisine). What you branded under Indian food is actually Bangladesh food on UberEats. I have never eaten a pumpkin sweet (0 tomato) butter chicken in my life. The daal is sweet as well. I know Bangladesh food are super SWEET, but I didn't know your self-identification as Indian food. Please change it on the delivery platforms.

This is my first time writing a review over a food delivery, and unfortunately it isn't a positive one. I don't know if I was just unlucky but this was probably the worst Indian food I had in my life. The Badami chicken was overly too sweet, and I am someone you would consider a sweet tooth but this was too much I couldn't eat it after three bits. The coconut rice was just dry, the cheese Naan had basically no cheese whatsoever, the only decent dish I could actually eat was the Bengal style Lamb and honestly it was ok, nothing amazing about it but at least I could eat it. I ended up spending £30 and not being able to eat the majority of the food. Overall, the taste and quality were both very disappointing.

Went there with some mates a few weeks ago - outstanding Naga Chicken, and service over and above what could ever be expected. Reasonably priced especially for London!

Absolutely delicious food, best Balti I have had in a long time. Very reasonable prices also.

Great food, and great hospitality

Used this place since I was a kid and still go back there

We have been coming to the Jol for many years and always have a pleasant experience and never leave disappointed. The food is always delicious and staff are always so friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Food and service is excellent and so friendly. Prices are good, looking forward to a takeaway 😀 👍

Very good food & very kind staff!

We come here regularly with our little daughter. This is one of our favourite local restaurants. Very nice staff, always welcoming. My favourite is the Vegetarian Balti, try it, its really nice!

Delicious food and incredible service. A must visit! Will be back soon :)

Food is very good here and the flavours are amazing! The staff are great, highly recommended for a nice dine in experience. Thanks Jol Sagor! See you soon

De tandoori mix grill was lekker. Het bijgestelde brood was zwart aan de zijkant en onderkant. Salade zat geen smaak aan.

This is by far the best Indian food locally. There has been a huge improvement and we have been back a few times now.

Fantastic food and very lovely and friendly staff

A great little gem of an Indian restaurant with wood decking outside. Their chicken dopiyaz is highly recommended with fresh nun bread.

Had the pleasure of dining here recently with a friend. Our chosen starters consisted of papadums, which were served with an assortment of delicious complimentary chutneys. The Chicken Korma, Lamb Bhuna, Chicken Tikka, Pilau Rice and Naans were all cooked beautifully and full of flavour. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff were extremely polite and friendly. Great value for money. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend 👌

Great experience! Really good food, wonderful staff and very well priced. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys Indian or Bengali food

Have been going to this restaurant for a while now and getting take away meals delivered. However, I am sorry to say that this restaurant has gone down in my estimation. Had a take away a couple of weeks ago and it was delivered by a bicycle which seems to be the cheapest way for restaurants to operate these days. The sauces from the curry and other items had spilled (not for the first time) all over the inside of the bag which meant I had a cleaning job to do before even eating our meal. I did complain but got no satisfaction from one of the owners. I said I would not be ordering take away meals again if this is how they delivered food. Again no apology was given. Went there to eat in on Sunday and found the meals are very oily, and the taste is not as described on the menu. In the past I have ordered Madras, Jalfrezi and even another hot dish and they all tasted the same, like an ordinary chicken curry with no real flavour. I think they need to up their game if they want to stay in business and also change their chef.

it is a very dirty restaurant and smokes in the kitchen, the chefs are very dirty

This takeaway is the best Bangladeshi food in London! I had a chicken korma, rice and naan; everything was super fresh, tasty and delicious. All for an amazing price. Couldn’t recommend any more if you love a sweet chicken korma :)

This is my 1st time giving a restaurant a one 🌟 rating. The gravy/oil spilled into the bag as the overall packaging was clumsy. The dishes was swimming in oil and was more than the main meal, and no distinctive taste at all. For the amount paid and times are hard we felt compelled to eat it as it would be a shame to waste food but it was one of the disappointing takeaways meals I have ever ordered and never again.

I ordered via uber eats. I ordered 7 curries and once the order arrived i was very suprised to see the containers less than half empty. I called and spoke with the manager who was rude and put the phone down on me. Because of my experience I was not able to enjoy the food. Absulutely disgusting service which I have never experienced before. I wasn't expecting anything just an apology at least! I don't usually leave reviews but I'm very appalled at the service. Will not be ordering from JOLSAGOR again.

A brilliant restaurant and amazing staff. We enjoyed last night. Food was very testy with high quality. Thanks to owner Mr Javed.

Lovely place to Eat. Delicious food.

Terrible service. Burnt naan. As a Bengali myself I found it disgraceful how staff think it's acceptable to trick white people into thinking that burning naan charcoal black is just something we do in our culture. Don't go here unless you want to be served whoopsies which should have been thrown in the bin.

Ordered online, didn't come. Called restaurant, nobody answered. Called again and got put on hold as line was 'too busy'. Absolute scam of a restaurant beware.

Best Indian this side of Newham. Good size of chicken pieces, perfectly spiced and seriously tasty. Generous with the curry ingredients. Keep the chef. My new go to place

Restaurant was a bit small but the great food and friendly,helpful staff made the whole experience one I would definitely repeat. Me and my family had a wonderful evening here. Nothing was too much for the staff. They catered to our every need.

Craving for best indian spicy food... go for this restaurant... very good and tasty veg and non veg... Very friendly staff and budget restaurant.. Definitely try once...

Great place to have Indian food, staff is very friendly and the food is awesome. It's a savior place for me and my husband in London 😀 already visited thrice and will visit again. Do try their biriyani...also the quantity of the food is more than sufficient for a person..do visit the place😊

Beautiful Food every time all so fresh my staff is friendly my number one favourite Indian restaurant in East London 💯👌. I would recommend it to any of my friends and family and always will do by far ✅

Overall nice food, great flavours and fast delivery - on numerous occasions however, the chicken is tough or pre-cooked. For the prices you pay, you'd expect freshly cooked produce.

Amazing food !! Fresh hot and so tasty ! The staff are so lovely . I recommend this place 10000000% !! Luke and Sophie.

Delivery service was prompt, food was tasty

Do not insult Indians by calling this food Indian! This is just a bog standard ‘BANGLADESHI’ restaurant that needs to use Indian identity to make their food appeal to English customers.

Went in for lovely evening meal with my dad and nan and as always we were warmly welcomed and taken care of. Food was tasty we even took some extras home! Whenever they visit they only want to go here! Lovely Local Indian restaurant highly recommended. Thank you!

Went in for dinner today, food was fine, just the restaurant was a bit cold, wasn’t too happy with the staff member pacing back and fourth up and down the restaurant, extremely loud noise of some sort coming out the kitchen( sounded like a industrial whisk) for a few minutes... another member of staff I believe as he want eating sitting in a table having a load telephone conversation. Don’t think I’ll be coming back again!, would be nice to have some background music whilst you eat!

Amazing food, great service, great staff and very affordable, always get a free shot after my meal I recommend this great indian experience

Food service spot on when eating in and so is take away on time hot x

CURRYLICIOUS!! Had a blinding banquet washed down with delicious Kingfishers. You can take my recommendation to any bank and they'd judge it to be bona fide. Tuck in right now!

Value for money, good service and friendly atmosphere.

Portion sizes have definitely got smaller! When called to ask if it’s available for dine in, I was informed it’s possible and that they Also have 50% off. Once i ate I went to pay they gave me full price, then came through with some bs that it’s for pick up only which doesn’t make sense at all! I wouldn’t have cared if no one told me there was a discount but it just seemed like a scam to draw more people in. Then because they’ve probably not had a good day charge their customers full price. I used to love this restaurant but this experience has put me off ever coming back again!

Since Jol sagar has been under new management In my opinion the food rating has gone up Javid well done !!! Excellent authentic Indian food I would definitely recommend this place!!! 👍👏👏

Great meal and got to watch a little premiere of film. Recommend this little place

Very good food and atmosphere. Staffs are so good and well behaved.

Great food, brilliant service and generous portions!

Very nice staff - when I came to pick up my food but was unable to carry everything, they gave me a lift free of charge and still gave me the 15% discount for pickup. Also the food is good, and the prices are very reasonable. Would recommend

Went for banquet night (Tuesday) was made very welcome food was lovely and very good price would definitely go again.

A very warm welcome from the elderly staff. They really paid attention to detail if we needed anything which exceeded my expectations - great customer service. Moreover, their Lamb bhuna was very nice bit mild as we expected so in advance we asked them to add a kick of spice that was spot on. I loved their Pilao and chapattis too that was soft and fluffy. I definitely will be visiting again. One advice though a baby sear would be ideal and child friendly but nonetheless we enjoyed the experience.

Really nice food, excellent service and very friendly stuff, Great value for money. I will definitely go again!!!

Friendly staff, delicious food. A solid 5 star experience.

Very good Indian restaurant. Friendly service and good atmosphere in and around Canning Town. You have to try it for sure!!!

Lovely food. Friendly helpful staff. Been here a few times now and never disappoints

Ordered Takeaway... Very tasty food, professional service!!! The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere, simple and understated decor, clean, intimate, but the food speaks volumes. Superb food (will come back Again ) Recommend this restaurant to everyone

Now under new management with top chefs everything out off the tandoori oven is cooked well and marinated to perfection. I have eaten inside the restaurant and had a delivery the taste is just the same. I had a chicken madras when i ate in and a lamb madras witch i had delivered so soft the meat was. Everyone local please give it a go you will not be disappointed. Its been decorated and modernised which it needed. And the owner is as good as gold. As the potential to be a top Indian restaurant that it once was 15 years ago.

Second time myself hubby and our baby son attended. A very warm welcome from the elderly staff. They really paid attention to detail if we needed anything which exceeded my expectations - great customer service. Moreover, their Lamb bhuna was very nice bit mild as we expected so in advance we asked them to add a kick of spice that was spot on. I loved their Pilao and chapattis too that was soft and fluffy. I definitely will be visiting again. One advice though a baby sear would be ideal and child friendly but nonetheless we enjoyed the experience.

This place food is so ethically delicious and staff are really friendly and talkative. Really good atmosphere and good value for the money.

They are better now. The Lassi is very original and the biryani was very good as Germans Hausmannskost, as they are doing it by Indian moms

So I am about the write the review but I thought I would read some of the comments to see what others think of the place. Not sure what to say to be honest Anyways came for the first time and greeted nicely. After some research found out that the owner has had this restaurant for over 35 years. It has had a good following by some celebrities such as Danny Dyer and the gentleman who was in the long time TV shows such as minder,professionals and stars from Eastenders have been here too. Order the food. Came right on time started with the chicken tikka. Very moist and succulent. The poppadoms were made extra crispy by flaming it on top of the gas to give extra texture. The mains were worth the wait too. Shame I couldnt take the pictures to add here. The slight negative is the decor which looks somewhat outdated. However the better positive is outdoor seating area especially in this weather.

It is the worst place. please do not go. No respect to customers. They bill price which was not in the menu price list. When asked for clarification, they used inappropriate words. There are lot of unwritten rules. Food is not prepared like Indian cuisine. They discriminate with perceived assumption about people's nationalities. Not even deserve single star. I fully agree with all the adverse comments expressed in the reviews and we also experienced the same. This is my point of view based on our experience.

Not a very pleasant experience. We were looking for a vegetarian place for our parents and had to walk a bit to reach here. Once we ordered drinks and food for our parents we were told a minimum of 10 pounds per person is what they would charge for the main dish which was of course not mentioned anywhere else. I am not sure if they were even accounting for the drinks we ordered. We decided to rather get things packed and take away. I have eaten at a lot of restaurants serving Western, Turkish, Italian and Greek food. At none of the places it was put as a condition. Anyway when it comes to taste, it wasn’t great as well. I also realised the restaurant specialises in Bangladeshi cuisine rather than Indian cuisine.

Worst fake name restaurant. It’s not at all indian restaurant. They are serving on the name of india. They don’t take card payment. Also what they have mentioned on board that they are available from noon 12 to night 12. They ain’t.

Very homely and friendly atmosphere. The menu is comprehensive. The food quality is great. Prices also very reasonable. The service is great and the staff really appreciate their customers, recognising the regulars.

Standard. Ordered Madras was not Spicy as I requested. Had Chana Masala side worst I'd tasted. Didn't feel stuffed like I normally would eating a curry. Service good people say it's cosy probably because it is small and caters for its regulars. Was more interested in the food but sorry to say had better.

This place is so bad that i have to write a review. 15 minutes after i ordered for delivery they call and say they have a policy of not delivering to your doorstep so you have to come down to your main entrance to collect, fine what ever - 15 minutes after stated delivery time i call them, guy says will be"any minute" now , 15 mins go by and still no food call again, no answer, tried to call them another 10 times all no answer. then line just goes straight to busy. Ridiculous service and super rude. never again

Très souriant et chaleureux, bien mangé.

My food arrived cold, undercooked and there was a hair in one of the dishes. Their manner was also very rude, and they over charged me for food I did not order. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Nice place, good food and friendly staff. What more do you need?

The food is really good but the service is slow and they mess up your orders and they won't admit their mistake

Good food, a minor mistake was amended quickly, and extras offered clearly keen to make amends.

El menjar estava molt bo i el preu era correcte. Hi tornariem.

Can't fault it. Authentic great tasting food. Nice cosy atmosphere with great service. Defo recommend it.

Visit often, and because of the food and relaxed feel of the place will continue to do so...

The food is really good but the service is slow and they mess up your orders and they won't admit their mistake. It's a bit expensive.

Warm and welcoming staff top food at good prices.

This is the worst place I have ever been to in UK.firstly when we ordered starters the staff said that we have to order a minimum number of dishes to sit there and eat !! Weird then we ordered lemonade which tasted disgusting and had a plastic thing in it.even then when we were eating our papadum with dips the same guy came and said that don't eat it using tray as they reuse it really?? They bloody reuse the dips from one table to another which is unacceptable !! First of all they can't tell their customer how to eat and reusing the dips is not acceptable at all when we called the manager who claims that he is !! He did nothing about it even the waitor behaved as if he is the owner of the bloody place.This was not enough for the guy as he passes a racist remark saying where are you from and stuff like that.The food here is disgusting and staff is extremely rude.I will never think about this place again and never recommend anyone to go their!! Worst experience ever.
