Karahi Junction Indian Restaurant Hayes in Hillingdon

We often visit this fabulous restaurant but felt it was overdue for another review as I was disappointed to read some negative reviews. We have always received a warm welcome (as we did yesterday evening) no matter how long it’s been between visits. The food & customer service is excellent, for example I dropped some food on my top and began wiping off, but carried on eating etc. next minute our lovely server discreetly handed me a wet cloth, it’s the little things that count and bring us back time and again, along with the excellent food and cost.

chilli chicken was tasty but not spicy, no green chilli at all, meat samosa was the mini ones

the food was discusting the curry was flavorless like bany food rice tasted like lemon overall poor

Forgot to give me the right food and made me come back to collect it with no refund or no compensation

Very nice food i love this restaurant specially recommend tandoori mix grill by the way all dishes is very tasty 😘

Very busy restaurant in hayes food was really good I love this restaurant Staff good service

Driver was lost , kept ringing me! Couldn't find a simple address. Food turned up absolutely freezing. Refused the order want a full refund totally ruined the evening.

Driver don’t know where my food delivered i cant get my delivery

The best Indian restaurant in the area. Much better service and food compared to Sarasa restaurant, they are awful and to avoid.. Karahi Junction is the best.

Daal was very oily, biriyani was a bit too spicy.

they need an Indian chef, because the food they delivered was tasteless, the lamb was well cooked just lacking the spices and the so called butter chicken was rubbish 🗑

Good food, not too expensive, good services. Very helpful staff. Great ambiance and good location.

Ordered two Alloo Tikka Chat, whilst I appreciate this is a stater but for the price paid you do not expect half the container full. On calling the restaurant being a regular customer was told they would sort it out next time. You guys work the rest out. Salad given is a joke too.

Never got the food. Raised complaint with just eat. Ridiculous, i had to use deliver roo to order something else. Whats the point of delivery code if they dont even turn up. Ridiculous

One Saturday night around 8 pm I have ordered 1 butter chicken and 3 garlic Naan over the telephone. When I reached the counter to pick up the order I was shown the bill to pay, so I paid in full £17.15. When I opened the pack at home I was surprised to find only 2 naan instead of 3. but I was charged for 3 naan.

best lamb dhanskak i have ever eat, great preparation, real nice taste , everything fresh as well , gonna come again , highly recommended

Very good food and service but some how one the waiters took my beer 🍺 glass not how it happened 😑 overall good value for money

I visited with my family. Warm welcoming makes us happy but service disappointed us. From food serving we need to keep ask for even small things like tissues, plates, water and even for extra food we called 3 times to the service provider. No music makes place noisy too.

Went for lunch.Ower was so curious and fixing a broken chairs with no interest.very bad customer service, very boring and tired food with lots of onion gravy.Karahi chicken with 4 small pieces of chicken and full Karachi onion gravy.paneer Karachi was also hard rubber paneer,it is supposed to be soft.I only like there Naans.Waste of money,not recommended.

Very Tasty Hot Food Amazing Naan

This restaurant is one of the best place for its starters. The service is on point, all food arrived piping hot. I travelled over one and half hours to eat here I can say it was well worth it!

Drunk lady walked in and screamed at everyone to shut up, my sister complained that she doesn’t feel safe and they still served her and then I left it alone and we started eating until she smacked my sister in the back of her head and then my sister got up and pushed her and the whole thing escalated and the people did not apologise and told us to leave and pay for our food and were rude

Drunk lady came in and had a fight with a stranger and slapped her in the back of the head for no reason and staff done nothing about it . Disgraceful

Driver should check food before collecting, Just eat should refund full rather then just for missing items, if it’s one item we can understand but it’s 30% of my order is missing,

Chilli was overpowering, chicken tikka was cooked nicely, amritsari fish had a bit too much ajwain….all in all I enjoyed the food

Very good, and authentic Indian Punjabi food

Another restaurant with affordable prices and quality of food

I was hungry, it was 3pm and I fancied a chicken tikka roll. This place was the closest to me and did not disappoint. Just the right amount of chicken and salad in a fab naan bread. The guy doing the oven was so nice and welcoming. Would definitely pop in here again.

I feel really disappointed leaving a negative review but I'm very upset by their food. Staff were good. I have been going to this restaurant since it opened, a long time. I recently took my family there after a year long and I was not impressed. Staff are good no complains. The food was very disappointing. Butter chicken portion was full of the gravy with 4 tiny pieces of chicken amongst us 3 people. The karahi paneer and and lamb karahi was exactly the same however the lamb was nothing more than 4 pieces and most of it was bone, again. The dishes had more masala than the actual food. Even the poppadoms served were burnt but we looked past that at the initial stage. Ordered a large salad with 3 tomato wedges and loads more carrots. The mixed grill we ordered as starters consisted of mostly uncooked lamb chops and severely pink from the inside as with the chicken tikka. I didn't want to ruin it for my family but they noticed. It's always busy which is good, nice atmosphere and food was always great despite being busy but this time I felt quite upset with the whole experience. I guess it's ok when you're sitting there with a whiskey bottle, you don't notice these things but this wasn't the case with us.

We went become of Indians . And absolute they are waiting for money and hospitality is 10 percentage. We just suggested about the food colour and more we of of 3people 2persons running restaurants in uk and I’m the Europe Indian president I have welcome by many restaurants people in 48countries . We explained with respect and the staff with our knowledge explained very bad .

It is truly delightful to have our local restaurant make such wonderful dishes. My wife adores the lamb saag but we are also impressed with the vegetable dishes, including the daal with kidney beans. I always enjoy the butter naan. In today's age it is rare to be offered high quality food served as if it has been made at home using fresh ingredients. Special thank you to Tony who always recommends the best to try and we are never disappointed. An absolute credit to dining with top class food.

2 bits of chicken, over powering pepper taste which for me was in edible, biriyani is about flavours which couldn’t be tasted. Not served with a sauce which we have expected when ordered elsewhere. Really disappointed with the food. Unfortunately will not order again from here.

Really good food, service and staff

Great food, relaxing atmosphere, kind people

I have been eating here now for a few months and can honestly say it’s the best Indian I’ve ever had !!

Last night, I visited to karahi junction with my friends. We ordered tandoori mix grill and tandoori malai Momo's in starter which was so delicious.Lamb curry, karahi chicken and tandoori chicken was so tasty. There is bar as well, all drinks are available there. I really had great dinner at that restaurant.I recommend everyone to visit there and have fun.

Came here first time through a friend's recommendation, and I have to say this place has lived up to my expectations. I think they have a new seasonal menu ongoing. I ended up trying the new soya tikka and nawabi tangri for starters, they both tasted delicious. For the mains, me and mrs tried the butter chicken and kadhai paneer, they both hit our taste buds immaculately. The portion size was good for the money, staff service was very and welcoming. I thoroughlt recommend this place and will be coming back again!

POOR QUALITY MEAT USED. Inside its black and purple. The meat is scraps from chicken. Had to leave without eating. I travelled from ascot as used to love local. Been coming here a long time. And never will come back. Standards slipped

AVOID. The quality of meat used in chicken Tikka was really poor. The colour was purple inside and pink. It should be white and meaty. Instead it was scraps of meat pushed together I think they must be trying to increase profits by reducing standards of food. I've been coming here 15 years. But today was the last time. Its Over

Ordered butter chicken. Didn't liked it.

We love Indian sub-continent cuisine and always seek it out wherever there is a local population of Indians, Bengalis, or Pakistanis as the standards are certainly raised. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Not a fancy restaurant by any means but the food quality and service were top notch. Generous portions and all four of us left totally satisfied. Chicken korma, tikka masala, garlic naan, saag paneer, and tandoori mixed grill highly recommended.

Good service and friendly staff. Food was alright. Mixed grill was a bit overcooked and bland. However the lamb chops were very nice.

Delicious food, would definitely recommend and will come again

Ankur served us with much courtesy and efficient service. Food was absolutely delicious as always and I have been coming to this restaurant for twenty years… it has never failed. Thank you Ankur.

Excellent service friendly staff wonderful food

Fantastic service and such good food! Enjoyed my experience here with my family

Superb Quality service food . The staff are amazing people very family friendly staff I do recommend that anyone tries honestly hard working staff.

Amazing service from Sunny and Umesh. Food was very tasty and a nice warm cosy atmosphere. We will be back again

I went here after a good 10 years and have to say each dish was amazing really good proper thick creamy butter chicken flavourful prawn curry proper prawns not the dinky onesbuttery crispy naans buy a bottle of wine proper reasonable whiskey spirits buy any bottle in the restaurant no problem this has become my local ... complimentary chutney poppadoms not like most restaurants who charge for everything

Great place great owner great staff great food

Best Indian food in the whole of the UK. Uncle is the best!!

I was disappointed with the chicken tikka masala. Do not order. Karahi chicken is much better and do try the gobi manchurian. Other than that, Ramans service was warm and kind family friendly environment..

Very good food every thing is good means good service all team is very good

Very nice food and very good service will visit again.

Super good food and service very nice people here treat everyone respectfully

I’m fully satisfied with their service and the staff is marvellous. Great food esp their naan and chaat papdi

Great place, ankur was amazing great service , will visit again soon.

Food was dry. Lamb chop was very tough to eat.

Delicious food, good atmosphere, staff behavior is too friendly. Definitely i would like to visit karahi junction again .

We have been coming to this place for years, and it has never disappointed us. Especially the butter chicken and Karachi lamb. These are the chef special and our go to. Must visit, love it!!

the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great, staff are welcoming and very friendly. The food is served fresh and very tasty and I would recommend this restaurant to whoever enjoys authentic Indian food. We often comes here and feel like home. The chilli planner is really we would love to eat here most.All food freshly made and serves on table without long waiting. Love this restaurant

I order karahi paneer from them and instead they send me karahi chicken and when I call them back they didn’t even listen my problem.

Very busy restaurant Very good food Friendly staff Service is always amazing specially looked after by Sunny Paji

Excellent food must visit and enjoy

Empty on Sunday afternoon. Food wasn't very fresh, Sheekh kebabs very dry. Sad to see how restaurant has declined over the years.

Literally the best Indian restaurant I have ever been! It was so delicious, the stuff was super kind and professional! I’d love to come back here🤗

Today i went to karahi for takeaway . I buy the malai kofta i thing they give me rasugelle ki chasni Not prefered for takeaway

KJ does good tasty food, although I was surprised that the chicken jalfrazi consisted of tandoori chicken with spices ! I'm not sure what's going on there. The other 2 dishes were spot on. Service was very good but drilling into the stainless steel canopy with diners trying to have a meal is a no no. They did apologise and stopped after a gentle word.

Friendly staff food is delicious

I went at 22.30 to eat dinner with a friend who came to visit me from abroad after 4 years. The place closes at 23.30. I was given the bill at my table to clear off while we were still half way through the starters, which is fine. But after 15 mins at 23.15 when we were on our main dish, which was at a time when my fingers were drenched with curry masala, the dumb owner came over (a guy with the turban) insisted that I pay right now. I explained that, I'm nearly finished, I'll wash my hands and pay. I replied that he knows how to sort people like us out, which is very rude and abusive, specially that I brought my friend to a place where I told him it was respectable. All other staff understood but this guy who's says he is the owner is a rude embarrassing person.

Amazing place for Indian food, whatever we ordered was at its utmost level of deliciousness! Can get your own alcohol and have a good time l, staff wel as very friendly, the manager himself attended to us and was very hospitable and patient. Would love to go again.

The food here is good. Delicious, tasty and fresh. The staff are friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is buzzing..if you want to enjoy a delicious meal this is the place to be. Reasonably priced too.

Well priced, generous portions, delicious food. What more could you ask for? The fish amritsari is a must, perfectly crispy and seasoned. Go for the special chilli paneer and those are your starters done. The lamb chops in the mixed grill have always been on point every time I’ve been. There’s lots of Indian restaurant options in the area but I find myself coming back here the most. The decor is nicer than most, doesn’t have that “curry / oil” smell when you walk in, clean and good service.

Best food combination ever ####

I ordered a chilly chicken from here and it was absolutely terrible. The chicken was rotten and there was an extremely bad smell from the onions. I almost vomited after having a few bites. The rest ended up in the bin. I highly advise not to visit as their quality has downgraded significantly in the past few months. Never ordering food again!!

Best Indian food and Drink place in London try must

Nice restaurant and food also very good

Got food poisoning vomited 4 times and got diarrhea. Upset stomach after 2 days still.

Delicious food excellent service must visit👌

Awful experience. My father went to a party there, and was asked to leave after 2 hours, when questioned the restaurant stated it was their policy to leave after 2 hours but no one had told the person who booked the table. Afterwards the staff gave my father attitude while trying to force him, after explaining that they will leave after they ate, the manager arrived and while the group was trying to explain the situation, the manager just smiled but did nothing (which I have video proof of). The situation ended with my father being assaulted by at least 20 people resulting with a head injury, knee injury, elbow injury and blood in his eye. Not once did the restaurant attempt to contact the police, contact an ambulance or stop the fight. When my mother and I went to collect my father in order to take him to the hospital, my mother attempted to find out what had actually occured and instead of answering, forced her out of the building, slapped her and pushed her out. Clearly something is wrong with this restaurant if they treat their guests like this. I wanted to give 0 stars but unfortunately this wouldn't let me post this review without the actual star rating.

Worst experience and worst food I had experienced last night I suggest not to go there and it been tooo long for orders and after waiting for hours I expect delicious food but Afghani chicken that was worst no salt and karahi paneer alot of sweet there 😐😐I never recommend this to anyone

Cannot go wrong with the food. Chilli chicken is the best

The waitresses hurried to pick plate with not finished food.

Great food and service, I would recommend the karahi chicken main, prices could be bit lower though

This restaurant was looking good, with good decoration and furniture. The music was not loud and we can chat without a problem. The food was delicious but like most Indian cuisine was spicy and did not have other options for children and for people who don't like spicy food.

Love the food. Always hot and tasty. Can make to order if you like it extra hot or extra mild
