Recently visited with work colleagues, we all had an amazing time and the atmosphere was buzzing. Ordered loads of curries, I particularly enjoyed the lamb curry and will be returning in the near future. Amazing staff and management.

Paré en Kiplings esta noche y Dios mío, qué comida fue simplemente deliciosa. Teníamos platos principales y naans. Todo fresco y perfectamente cocinado. El vino rosado funcionó bien con el curry. El personal fue atento. Si bien sé que estamos encerrados, este restaurante no merece estar vacío. La gente salga y apoye instituciones increíbles como esta.

This was a delicious dinner from start to finish. I’m a sucker for an onion bhaji but these were next level. I also went for a prawn curry which was the perfect blend of heat and creaminess.The service was speedy and attentive. We went on a Monday night so it was relatively quiet but there was still a really lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to return!

Worse service ever, very rude and they walked all over my coat instead of letting me know it was on the floor, no apology. Was told off for putting the napkin on the side of plate maybe it should have been on the floor? Food was not good, two of my friends had to send stuff back as it smelt and tasted off, and I now feel ill. Offered us popadoms while waited then charged us for them, charged for service charge when it was poor service, you would call someone and they ignored you. Do not recommend. No wonder it was so quiet, and they said rude things in their language thinking we didn't understand. Being pregnant I take offence. Will report to trading standards.

I wasn't disappointed. The waiters are career professionals. They love their jobs and it shows. They were very attentive and eager to help with food and wine choices. This is a very friendly family restaurant and it is currently managed by one of the sons, Kam, who keeps a watchful eye on everything and has a good manner and great sense of humour.

Me and my partner wanted to go for a lovely Indian date night and after plenty of Our friends telling us about this restaurant, we decided to choose kiplings. We was blown away by the service, they couldn’t have been more accommodating. With a nice chilled atmosphere and a bar with plenty to choose from including cocktails - I had tikila sunrise x2 haha! The food was out of this world! We was greeted and sat down straight away, with popadams and sauces which were beautiful. Service was amazing the timing was just right. We then ordered two curry’s korma&tikka; two naans and rices. The chicken in the curries were beautiful and succulent the food was so delicious and tasty, probably one of the best curries we've ever had. I would most definitely recommend this for a date night or just because you can’t miss out!! thank you to all of the lovely staff who served us and made our night so special.

We booked a table at Kipling’s at 8:30 for 4 people, when we arrived the place was absolutely heaving and the queue at the door was building up. We were a little late to be seated, but we really didn’t mind. The waiters were absolutely rushed off their feet with the three of them managing the whole restaurant plus over the phone orders so although ordering was a tad frantic, you can’t really blame them. Food took a little while to come, but it was a lovely atmosphere so the time passed quickly. The food was well worth the wait! As all regular curry diners from all over the country we’d had our fair share and we were blown away. Once the restaurant quietened down a touch, the service was lovely, friendly and relaxed. Kipling’s will definitely be our new regular Indian and well done to the staff for handling such a busy restaurant!

The staff were wonderful a special mention must be made of the waiter who served our table I belive his name was Sha, he was just the best waiter I've ever experienced in my life. he was extremely knowledgeable about his food and many more subjects besides and made us feel really at home, also made us laugh so hard we thought we were at a stand up show. The Rudyard lamb is to die for, great flavours and the chicken tikka buna was out of this world. Highly recomended.

Whole experience was a disaster from start to finish, on entrance the restaurant was empty (should of taken the hint). We sat down and at first glance of the menu it seemed expensive. We ordered 2 main courses, 1 rice and 1 naan to share between 2 of us. The first curry tasted like chicken cooked in a bowl of tomato ketchup (chicken tikka massala). I dont know that if living in a multi cultural city like leicester i have been spoilt by the authenticity of the Indian food there. There is no way you could label this as indian food. The other curry dish we had was bland, tasteless, in fact the whole meal was inedible. When telling the waitress the food was no good we were not apologised too. When being presented with the bill there had been no discount made and when querying this, staff were very rude and reluctant to offer any kind of good will gesture. We ended up leaving £20 on the table and walking out.

Absolutely awful from start to finish! Lovely looking restaurants inside, but food is awful. Chicken tikka masala is not chicken tikka masala, it taste purely like chicken in a bowl of tomatoe sauce!!! Rank!! Then the chicken shashliq, if only it taste as good as it smelt. TASTELESS! Soggy chicken, cold, tasting of sweet nothing. The naan was bland too. When asked how the food was I replied “wasn’t nice at all”. (As u could tell literally two mouth fulls eaten out of the whole order). I was shocked when I didn’t even receive a sorry, shortly asked for the bill again shocked as no sorry or offer to take something off the bill. We then asked why nothing had been taken off after refusing when the waiter said he would speak to his manager. Another gentleman then came over and offered £5 off!! £5?! I argued that I wasn’t willing to pay for such an awful in edible meal. He then tried to haggle with me lowering the price by a £1 at a time, in the end we left £20 and left the restaurant. Wasn’t worth a penny of anybodies money, I would never visit this restaurant again and advise everyone to stay away. I wouldn’t feed this rubbish to my dog.

I ordered a takeaway and (like others) it did take a while to arrive but I'd rather they gave me an un-rushed meal. My delivery guy actually remembered coming to my house previously & said "Long time no see" which made me feel good they valued my customI have a regular meal that I order from (only!) this takeaway and don't eat Indian from anywhere else if I'm choosingMy meal is: Lamb Biryani; Onion Bhaji & a Vegetable Samosa. They also add on a vegetable curry but that's typical with a Biryani. First off, there is no grease, fat or stains on anything, both inside & out of the packaging. Next the quality of the ingredients used is superb. Both of these help with a great execution of flavour, taste and eating. I enjoy eating but what these guys deliver is an exciting high spot of food and I look forward to every delivery.Lastly, the website is a little awkward to use (I managed to order takeout for collection rather than delivery) but a quick phone call sorted that. Plus you can pay in cash on delivery which I prefer sometimes as my credit card can always do with less of a pounding...Overall try this place & see what you think. It has a very good reputation and is not the cheapest but I think it's the best

I returned to this amazing restaurant which screams pure elegance and fine dining. It is really hard to find in London an indian restaurant which delivers both real, authentic indian food to the overall ambience...Kiplings does all of this. I was extremely excited to return to this restaurant and already had a few favourite dishes in mind! The starters were absolutely fantastic and the mains were equally mouth watering. You can tell here chefs here take pride in the food they make. They even provided my friend with their popular spiciest sauce you can imagine to devour alongside her food. The atmosphere is great in this restaurant and you get both a homely yet sophisticated vibe when dining here. The staff are very attending and know their dishes and drinks very well! So you can never fall short of a recommendation! When I visit a restaurant there a couple of things I look for and at Kiplings it was a big tick in every single aspect.Cannot wait to come back (again and again!) and it is a restaurant I have recommended to all my friends and family. Gold stars without a doubt.

The menu, also, provided for a plethora of delicious options for carnivores and vegetarians alike!Finally, the restaurant itself is extremely charming. The decor and ambience of the place is different to most restaurants. It simply exudes calm and makes for an extremely enjoyable experience.

I note other reviews have noticed a deterioration in the service – tonight was appalling. 7pm Saturday evening meal – nice quiet table in a corner, for half an hour, until a loud, very drunk, utterly obnoxious is seated right next to us. A pleasant meal becomes increasingly uncomfortable and we decide to leave – rushing coffees. Long wait for bill. Then no sign of credit card machine. We decide we can bear it no longer and go up to the main desk to pay. Manager/Head-waiter who is supposed to be bringing the machine is on the phone taking orders. He takes two of them whilst we stand there. Barman then takes our money. No eye contact, no thank you, no goodbye. I wait for the manager / head-waiter to get off the phone and explain my dissatisfaction, reasonably – expensive meal, we’ve paid a service charge which was automatically included / we understand that you couldn’t know the group was drunk in advance but you must have noticed, should have acknowledged / effectively we’ve been driven out and our evening spoilt / long wait for bill / not even a thank you or a goodbye.Response: no recognition that we had a legitimate grievance, seemed to find it amusing, no acknowledgement that anything could have been done differently. Actually said: “come on a weekday and you can have the place to yourself”. Denied there’d been a wait for the bill. When I pointed out that he’d not even apologised he asked whether a thank you or an apology would really make a difference. By this time the honest answer was no – I won’t be going back. No-one should.

We are so impressed by this Indian restaurant. Their dishes are truly tasty and moorish. The chef must be truly commended. From the curries to the starters and tikkas... Seriously becoming our go-to for a take away. We only had dinner once in the restaurant and the atmosphere was not so great to match the deliciousness of the food. A couple of the waiting staff are a little forgetful or misunderstand. It doesn't alter the taste of the absolutely yummy food. However, this does lead me to recommend this as a take out first. But please do try it!

Stepped off the North Hill in Highgate into what felt a bit like a movie set - slow moving ceiling fans, a chap at the piano - sadly no Bogart att the bar, but some verygood waiting staff, who were speedy, attentive, but not too in-er-face all night. I wish TripAdvistor allowed people to rate somewhere in between 'Average' and 'Very Good', because Kipling's food is 'Good' - not 'very good', but not 'average', either - classic High Street tandoori staples, but fresh. Bit on the toppy side for what you get, but good portion sizes, decent service and a good night out. Will go again.

Visited this restaurant regularly over the last decade. Food remains at very high standard and is highly recommended. However on this occasion despite not being overly busy..about half full... We had one course of our meal forgotten (left in kitchen), witnessed the adjacent table send one meal back for being cold and had to ask for our own bill 3 times. Waiter even took my beer bottle away which was not empty whilst I visited the toilet between courses. Last time I visited they forgot to deliver a course to the table as well...so if it happens again we can expect a much harsher review and no further visits. More in summer when I will be back.

We visit Kiplings on a more or less weekly basis and the food never lets us down. The variety of dishes is great and the very friendly service ensures you know all the items on the menu. In over a year of visits to Kiplings I still can try something different with confidence.

My wife and I come here nearly every week sometimes with friends and/or family. Everything is just perfect. The food is excellent (and we have tried most dishes). Spices well balanced. The service is excellent and staff are friendly. The place is clean. Of course, the wines compliment the meals perfectly, and some wines on their menu are not available at the vintners or the supermarkets.We have tried a number of Indian restaurants over the years and Kiplings has always been consistently excellent.

For my university graduation I booked a table at Kiplings and was treated to a high class experience, everything from the decor to the food was 5 stars; made my special day even more special thanks. Highly recommend!

Our Experience at Kiplings Highgate has been fantastic. Fantastic service, fantastic food. We was well looked after by Naz the restaurant manager who had whipped up a bespoke chilli sauce to our taste. He also had given us the secret recipe complimentary to our meal. Overall 5/5. Definitely worth a visit.

Love this place as it has a slight colonial feel , service is attentive and good. In fact one guy was running from the kitchen to the tables which maybe is a bit keen and not too relaxing ! Food was great and we had a chefs special Hyderabad chicken which was standout , chicken dhansak & chicken madras. Know its all bog standard but it was elevated to well above average. If your looking for a good Friday night curry look no further , this place stands out from the pack

It looks right, but tastes below average to poor. All the right main ingerdients, chicken etc but totally lacking in the aromas and flavours you would expect. Only the price was what was expected and that was high for what was served.

Ended up here on my brothers recommendation, and very glad I listened! The decor is very warm and inviting, and a nice setting to spend a cold evening in. The quality of the food is good, and the service was also faultless. I will definitely return.

we visited here late evening on a week night and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Atmosphere was dead as there was not even any background music. The food on the other hand was very good, served quickly by attentive waiters. I'm not sure if the atmosphere is any different at more busy times. Check it out

Very disappointing meal, the food was well below average and the service is not good especially when you have to ask for the table to keep being cleared Dont be taken in by the amount of time they have been there as they had new owners 6years ago.The food was over priced for what we had, it were no taste to it.Maybe we should have realised that there was issue as there was know one else in the restaurant. very dark and dingy place.

First time trying Kiplings, we had it delivered. Extremely prompt with a great service. The delivery man was very friendly and personable which makes a change from the usual delivery service of other places. We ordered the chicken bhuna and chicken tikka as well as some sides and everything was absolutely delicious. Also want to note the labels detailing each food, making plate preparation so much easier. Great size and left us both nicely full. Looking forward to eating in next time. Highly recommend and is the best curry in the area.

Well it's called Kiplings and is located in a small North London village, on a lonely road called North Hill. It starts pretty well. Then you see the imposing bar, the blood red walls, the elegant lamp shades tablecloths and you immediately feel in some sort of Graham Greene book. The restaurant feels decades old while it was set in 1994, well done, looks much older. As you feel quite GrahamGreeny, order a banana daiquiri, they're delicious and part of a large cocktail menu that I will try entirely this winter. Many vegetarian and meat options, I went for something a bit odd but still tasty, I'm sure the less original options are fantastic. Staff is professional and brings food on nice little trolleys. Not very friendly, could be better but it goes quite well with the hidden North London village restaurant concept.

Quality taken seriously - always a good sign.. The food was the best I've tasted in the area.. Glad I finally made it there. Staff are friendly and efficient, and they are clearly proud of their product and to make sure you get good service as well as good food.. Thank you, and I will be back to visit again. There is plenty of space around the tables, and food comes well presented, and no delays. They go at your pace, but are clearly paying attention and are there when you need them for extras, or to answer questions about the menu. Food tasted fresh and breads were crispy and not too heavy..

Took a chance on this place and haven't looked back. Was never sure what they had on offer and was thrilled to learn it was an Indian Restaurant. This isn't you bulk standard curry house but much more of a fine dining cuisine at very affordable prices. A greatly decorated and atmospheric restaurant so close to the city centre. It's a delight for curry enthusiasts and will give your taste buds a great new experience.Service v good and food was outstanding.

I had not visited this restaurant for some time as I had a bad experience previously. I was persuaded to go again by a close friend and I must say, it was excellent! What a change.The service was attentive and the food was really superb. That's what new chefs can do!I will certainly go again.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were happy to lend their expertise about any dish on the menu when we had questions. The food arrived quickly and was exactly what I was hoping for. Very high quality and excellently spiced. The portions were large and we were worried that the two of us had over-ordered but the food was so tasty we were able to put it all away very quickly. A great experience all round and I will definitely be returning soon and recommending to all my friends. The best Indian restaurant in the local area by far.

In my view, this place has set the bar higher than most Bangladeshi/ Indian restaurants will ever be able to reach.What do we as customers want from a meal? Fresh ingredients, each dish distinguishable from others, with good portions on meat and rice that can't be cooked at home. From the very basic to the most exquisite, this restaurant has delivered time and time again. The staff have been friendly and helpful, the food delivered piping hot, on time, without the usual unwanted side-order of a vat of oil that seems to be found in many Indian curry houses. Even the most simplest dish on the menu, which I believe might be the vegetable dhansak, was just a delight on the palate. If you want a real contender to the serious upmarket Bangladeshi/ Indian restaurants, without the horrendous mark-up prices, you'll find nowhere better than Kiplings.

We got the food to take away - it was all freshly prepared - succulent juicy freshly cooked king prawns - they made it dairy free as we asked - the vegetable side dishes were not greasy, lots of spices and fresh - very impressed with all of it - service was quick and polite - will be back regularly now

One of my two favourite Indian restaurants, the other being Yatri in King's Cross. The food at Bengal Bertie's is simply amazing AND for London reasonably priced! Love this restaurant!

The formula is simple. Choose people’s favourite Asian dishes and put them all on one menu. Wan tan soup. Fried Gyozas. Tempura prawns. Char siu bao. Beef rendang. Nasi goreng. It’s all ok but not more than ok. Prices very reasonable so if you want a no-nonsense Asian without too much flavour or finesse, you will be reasonably happy here. Saves you going into town and spending a lot more.

As per title ordered take away and it came on time. Food was really tasty, right level of spices too. One small mistake as I ordered Saag Aloo and they delivered Saag Paneer, I didn’t bother calling as I’m not allergic but that could have been a bit of a hazard if someone is allergic. Perhaps a bit more attention would help. Said that, I would order again as the food was superb.

¡No solo el Gen Dan Fushia es mi comida favorita para llevar, sino que también es la mejor comida tailandesa que he comido en Londres! El arroz Pad Thai Pak y Kao Pad son absolutamente deliciosos y siempre tienen un sabor fresco. Las porciones también son muy grandes, así que definitivamente se pueden compartir. La comida siempre se entrega puntualmente y caliente también. Nunca tuve una mala experiencia con ellos, ¡en general, un gran servicio!
