Kaniz in Hillingdon

We had a great experience here! Food was amazing, service was excellent. We were helped immediately and the waiter provided recommendations for what to get. Would highly recommend!

Very good restaurant, typical traditional cuisine Very friendly staff They even put a candle on my daughter's dessert for her birthday. I recommend it

Highly recommend !best hospitality in heathrow area

A great experience at this Indian restaurant near Heathrow. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I mostly liked the Chicken biryani. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming—perfect for a relaxing meal. Highly recommended !

Had a lovely experience at this Indian restaurant near Heathrow Airport. The service was prompt and professional, with friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing — perfect for either a quick bite before a flight or a leisurely meal. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving good Indian food!

Wandering near Heathrow in search of a decent bite, I had absolutely no expectations — let’s be honest, airport surroundings are rarely celebrated for their culinary prowess. And yet, what I stumbled upon at Kaniz Restaurant was nothing short of a revelation. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and disarmingly welcoming — with just the right dash of charm to make you feel instantly at ease. It strikes that rare balance between casual comfort and refined taste — perfect whether you’ve just landed or simply need a pause from the noise outside. And now, the food — what a feast! Each dish arrived like a small work of art, beautifully plated and bursting with layered, harmonious flavours. Spices and textures in playful choreography, nothing overpowering, everything just right. Clearly, this kitchen doesn’t do “average” — there’s care, intention, and a true culinary soul behind every plate. I wasn’t just having dinner — I was being delighted. What truly elevated the evening, though, was the service. In particular, Mr Anish, who looked after me with genuine warmth, quiet attentiveness, and that rare ability to make a guest feel both valued and at ease. His care was gracious and subtle — the kind of hospitality that feels more like being hosted by an old friend than served in a restaurant. Kaniz is more than a place to eat — it’s a roadside jewel, gleaming with heart and flavour. If you ever find yourself near Heathrow, do yourself the favour of stopping by. It’s the kind of place that turns a hungry wander into a memorable experience. I’ll be back. Without a doubt.

Fantastic meal yet again! Haven’t been here for a few years as only visit when flying from Heathrow but we were not disappointed and will definitely be back!

Lovely restaraunt with fabulous decor and lighting. The food is always brilliant and the service is top class always. Will keep visiting as much as I can.

We had great dinner at this restaurant on our last night in London. The food--we had chicken biriyani, tikka masla chicken, chicken vindaloo, saag paneer, and aloo gobi, and garlic naan--was all delicious. We enjoyed the spiciness of the vindaloo and the biriyani was my husband's favorite.

I have been visiting this restaurant regularly over the past few months. I often take work colleagues during the week & we have tried in excess of 10 different meals. Each meal has been beautiful, filled with lots of meat and cooked to a high standard. The Naans are perfect in size and the pickle tray is one of the best I’ve ever had. The staff are attentive and always welcoming. If you like traditional Indian cuisine you won’t be disappointed.

I wanted to impress a special guest who was staying at the Sheraton Skyline (nearby) and chose Kaniz from previous reviews ..could not have been better pleased. The usual poppadoms were served with a excellent selection of accompaniments and our mails meals (Bakara and a Chicken Vindaloo) were absolutely delicious. Meelan, our friendly and chatty waiter, looked after us very well and we were treated to a complimentary liqueur (a Tia Maria concoction) that finished of our meal perfectly. Will certainly revisit when next in the area. Oh, and we had a bottle of Malbec that slipped down a treat!

Absolutely lovely meals - Lamb Madras and mixed meat Buryani Good portion sizes Well worth a visit for an excellent meal Thank you

Very good food and a reasonable price for Outer London. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Would visit again if we were staying in the area. Recommended.

Very nice, chicken tikka and tandoori is my fav, very nice atmosphere and staff are very nice and friendly

We were staying at the thistle hotel just down the road. It was a 5 min walk and we had the best curry. The service was great the food was exceptional loved every minute - will will definately be back

I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem near the airport. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I ordered the grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection, and the sides were just as delicious. The staff was really friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The décor is eye-catching, with a modern yet cozy vibe that adds to the dining experience. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

The food was very average and they are quite light on the meat. I am not a personal fan of waiters who constantly ask hiw the food is while I am eating and prefer to be left alone. The experience was average and I would not go back again.

I loved the authentic Indian cuisine. The food was delicious. Service was good. Staff were friendly. I liked the chicken tikka the most and biryani.

Food was tasty no doubt. But they don’t have kids menu. I would like to suggest basic kids menu in restaurant. We’re parents can enjoy there meal wile kids eat there’s. Service was excellent by waiter. He provided cucumber slices for my son really appreciate his service.

Fabulous food. Tried a few entre size plates for variety. The papadams brought out with the assorted chutney tray was a delightful "awakening of the taste buds". The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Pity we are flying back to NZ tomorrow otherwise we would definitely come back

Food was not upto mark as per indian taste but service and atmosphere was outstanding.

Incredible food every time. Consitantly excellent

I recently ordered from Kaniz restaurant and I was highly impressed! The food arrived on time, well-packaged, and still hot. The flavors were excellent, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. The delivery service was smooth, and the driver was courteous. Overall, a fantastic experience—I’ll definitely be ordering again!

It was never delivered but order status was updated as delivered.

The service and food is really owsm

Awww awesome food and awesome staff .?must go and try food , amazing 🙏🙏

This Indian restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience with a perfect blend of authentic flavors, vibrant presentation, and warm hospitality. The meal started with a beautiful selection of chutneys and crispy papadums, setting the stage for what was to come. The variety of dips, ranging from tangy to spicy, complemented the appetizers perfectly. The main course was just as impressive—sizzling kebabs and tandoori delights, cooked to perfection with a rich, smoky aroma that instantly heightened the appetite. Every dish was packed with bold spices and deep flavors, making it a true treat for the senses. The ambiance of the restaurant also added to the experience, with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a fantastic choice for a flavorful and satisfying meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving an authentic Indian feast!

Delicious food. We really enjoyed the food, service and nice ambiance. Very good portion size and taste was amazing. Thank you so much.

We dine in modern Kaniz restaurant pickles, papadom, momo dumpling was delicious, chicken was chhoila outstanding Naan was nither thick nor thin very medium Red lentil and rice very tasty. Fantastic service with family atmosphere, attractive decoration as well. Highly recommended.

Perfect - Cooked well, tasted good, nice hot temperature - On time

The lamb was not tender, but tough.

High recommended, excellent food

Best Indian restaurant near Heathrow by far. Lovely food, friendly service and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a good curry.

Very nice food, the service is very good. Thanks for the good service from Meelan.

Highly recommended food! Staff is very nice and service is very fast.

Highly recommend for best curries around Heathrow, great selection of menu and very friendly staffs.

Visited this place with family and I must say it was truly amazing experience. Everything was exquisite and the service was great. Nice ambience and we had sheikh kebab and tandoori chicken for starters, karahi chicken & lamb rogan josh for mains. All food dishes were made to perfection and super tasty. Must try their poppadum chutney tray - its very unique! Will be visiting this place again soon, 5 stars!

Zayani have now moved here very happy to find them after long time, I use to come every month when I use to travel. Very excited for next time Highly recommended!!!!

I recommended this is best restaurant around Heathrow for amazingly delicious food and best service given Mr Milan at restaurant

Very nice restaurant. Humble and polite ppl. I would recommend this place.

I recently visited Kaniz Restaurant, which was formerly known as Zayani Restaurant, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. I had dined at Zayani about a year ago, and I was excited to see how the new location and name have elevated the experience. Kaniz Restaurant offers an incredible dining experience that combines top-notch food with an inviting atmosphere, making it one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The menu features a variety of traditional Indian dishes, all bursting with flavor and expertly prepared.The service is outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. This cozy place made me feel familiar and at home. Another best thing about Kaniz is its friendly staffs. Top notch services. Sizzling lamb was the best. Too good desserts. Loved the experience. If you're near Heathrow Airport or around London and craving authentic Indian cuisine, look no further than Kaniz.

Great restaurant luck to find it in our way back home, amazing service highly recommended.

Whenever I stay at Heathrow the night before an early morning flight, I enjoy dinner here. Really attentive staff and lovely food at fair prices. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended for good curries

Food was sooo good, definitely my new go to!

Excellent food, excellent service. Would highly recommend. I liked them as Zayanis but even better at Kaniz.

A little expensive for the surroundings although the food was tasty

Highly recommended for indian food in heathrow , great and helpful staffs .

Food was amazing and the service and all the staffs were friendly. I’d highly recommend any of the people to go and visit some time .

Starter Cold. Popadams squashed and broken up by bottle of coke

Meelan was awesome! What a nice nice guy! Highly recommended!!!! The food is amazing!

Highly recommended for Indian food at Heathrow airport , 15 minutes far from terminals ,

BEST SERVICE EVER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LEAVL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We really enjoyed it ,highly recommended

Well managed and fast service , polite staff and fine family dining.

I found nepali taste. Best place to feed you mother taste. feels like home food. great to have here. higly recommend to everyone.

Great experience, fantastic food and service from the hosts. I cannot remember the last time I had Indian food like this. The flavors burst in your mouth. Creamy and tasty butter chicken! The lamb Korma was amazing!

Lovely, clean, modern, excellent service. The food was spectacularly flavorful. Perfect naan. Skip the hotel restaurants and head to this local eatery. You won’t be sorry.

Staying in the Renaissance overnight we came here as a result of the review by stewartir2024. It took us about 25-30 minutes walk each way but the weather was dry and it wasn't particularly cold so we worked up an appetite by the time we got there. Warm inside and very welcoming and friendly staff. We had booked although we could have walked in. We had poppadums and chutneys - the six or so mentioned above and I followed this with a chicken and mango dish. It was all very tasty but I think the mango sweetened the chicken too much. We enjoyed this and will go again

Highly recommended for Indian food at Heathrow airport , special lamb buna is the best _ very hot I like it .

Highly recommend for great food

Highly recommended for large groups and family

Walked in, only one other person in there. Got taken to a seat. Ordered a coke no ice and the coke was really warm and flat you could hear them open the cans. Took ages for someone to take my order (service poor!!!!) food was tasteless . And to top it off a service charge was added to the bill all they did was open a can of coke and bring my plate of food. 0/10 for me !!!!!

We two, stranded by bad weather, were warmly welcomed and seated at a table. The staff were very helpful in choosing the food, especially asking how spicy or mild we would like the food.

Great Indian with amazing food, I would highly recommend. I come here everytime I have a layover at Heathrow. The guys from Zayani now run this restaurant and the food is still as superb as ever.

This Indian cuisine here is simply fantastic. Each dish bursts with flavor, and you can tell that a lot of care goes into the preparation. The service was excellent. I loved how they served our meals on hot plates, which really enhanced the experience. Now, let’s talk about the food! The garlic naan was heavenly—perfectly fluffy and garlicky. The lamb karahi was packed with spices, tender, and absolutely delicious. And the butter chicken was creamy and rich!

Manager Milan really accompanied us well. Very good Indian restaurant to try in London

Highly recommended for large groups and indian food

Great food , great staff and i like bar

Highly recommend for indian currys

Must visit i had a great experience

Food was great, service was great. They were formerly ZAYANI. They start empty and fill up. Excellent food and value! We will always come back.

I recommend for good Indian food.

Very friendly staff and warm hospitality. They have authentic Nepali food .

Nothing was special about this place, the food, service, atmosphere almost everything was wrong! We had layover for the night, were staying in Hyatt and decided to eat at this place. Our red head waitress was very rude. Whenever we asked her anything she was rolling her eyes. Few items were out of stock on the menu, when asked about recommendations she was not really helpful! People were really loud, and annoying. When I confronted, they were like so what! Food had no taste at all, the meat was old no freshness in it. Garlic naan’s were rip off, had couple of garlic bits in it that was all. Mango lassi was too thick to drink couldn’t even drink it using the straw! For the price, the quantity was good but quality hell no.

3rd time we've been here this year whilst staying at LHR. Really like this place. Fantastic chutney tray! No starters this time as we're always too full. Had chicken shaslik and a hot butter chicken with a buttered garlic nan which was the best nan I have had. Staff are so loveky as well.

Have used Kaniz restaurant before good quality food

The food taste not that great. That’s why they give 30% off on orders above £20

We went here for dinner as we were staying in the nearby Hyatt Place and it was delicious! We were the only ones there when we first arrived, however, the ambience is nice and the service is attentive. Would recommend the chicken bhuna and chicken balti and the naan bread is the nicest I have ever had! Lovely meal.

So good. Had a lovely early evening meal. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very impressed with the food. For the money we paid we couldn't fault the place. Highly recommend.

Quick stop for a mixed Biryani, very low cost £13! and very nice, had a good bite to it without being overly spicy. Seems a very good restaurant.

Wow what a great find when staying near Heathrow before flying out. Great food and service. Thank you.

Unremarkable decor, friendly service (they lost a star for adding a service charge to a meal for two), good food. I'd have preferred muttar paneer more creamy and less tomatoey but then I didn't ask so couldn't complain!

very tadty food but didnt follow our request to make extra spicy

This restaurant was so good a few years ago. This is no longer the case. I won't go back there again. Very greasy and very bland cuisine. Everything tastes the same. No flavor and everything is bathed in oil.

We went here as the Hyatt had a huge wait time. Took a chance and could not have been more pleased. Unassuming location. The staff were very friendly, happy to chat and the food was outstanding.

Biryani was very dry n not great

A few years back I was a regular at Kaniz as I worked and lived close by. Their food was incredible. Everything was made with passion and you could taste it in all their dishes! I happened to be local today and I ordered and I was so so disappointed. The owner or the chef may have changed, but the onion bhajis were not fresh and were flat. Back then I would get a full round bhaji that was always piping hot! The the naan was cold despite arriving in a foil bag but the paneer tikka is still exactly what it used to be. I also had to pay 8 pounds more to order on deliveroo as in just eat, my orders were accepted then cancelled. Tried calling the restaurant but was told that this was just eat canceling due to there being no driver but when I called just eat they said it was the restarant. Not sure what happened there but there was a 30 percent promotion on just eat so it was strange that the exact same order was accepted on deliveroo without the discount!

Poppadom’s came with 6 dips with a shout out to the tamarind, mango & mint dips, delicious. Mains were excellent, packed with meat & ample servings. Cobra beer on draught. Staff were friendly but professional. Highly recommended.

Order clearly just thrown together. No attention to customisation. Burger buns oddly overdone. No requested sauces included. Absolute waste of time and money.

Have eaten here 3 separate times in May and June. The food by a Bangladeshi cook is outstanding, the service very efficient and the prices reasonable. The papadams are enormous and served with 6 different condiments. It’s generally quiet. Highly recommended

Great ambience, delicious south asian food specially indian foods and very witty/ friendly staff. Highly recommend !!! Kudos to the team

We ate dinner here on a stop over in London from the airport and was within walking distance from our hotel. The staff and service were amazing and did a phenomenal job explaining the menu and making recommendations. The food was good, not great. Staff were able to ensure my meal was gluten-free.

Kaaniz there curries I think are rushingly made! The curries always have too much oil or butter and less flavour and not made with love! The yogurt seems like it's rushingly made again like no taste just diluted with water! Odd taste There is no quality in the food! Don't even seems fresh! Nothing like home made at all! Oil just swimming The popodums even had an off ish taste

If you are in the heathrow area you can't go wrong with Kaniz. We visited as a group midweek and I returned this evening. The food and service was superb on both visits. Lovely people.
