The food was horrible , the onion Bhaji was undercooked, the chicken of the chicken tikka masala was dry and old, sauce very sweet, the garlic nan was undercooked, doughy and also wet, the lamb was swimming in grease but palatable. We had to wait over an hour and a half for the delivery. What a disappointment to receive awful food . We have ordered from here before 6 months ago and it was nice. This is a real shame and I would like a refund seeing as most of it is going to the neighbourhood fox who doesn’t mind a bad curry. Please see videos . Thanks won’t be ordering again. What happened to you guys man ?

Poor service, Luke warm food. We were eating at a table in the restaurant and the waiting staff were more interested in the ringing phone and online orders than our table in the restaurant. One waiter was taking our food order, the phone rang and he left us, in the middle of our food order, to answer the phone..... speechless. Had to ask for drinks, had to ask to order our food, had to ask for the bill, there was no attention paid to our table. Disappointed, lousy service and they even add a service charge to the bill.... We won't be back

Last night's take away was SUCH a disappointment, just like a few months ago when I had a meal in the restaurant itself. The Lal Akash used to be consistently great. All the dishes tasted individual and you could be sure that you had ordered something at the spice level you liked. My favourite sabuch jalfreizi was consistently wonderful. That's no more. The 🌶, 🌶 🌶,🌶 🌶 🌶 rating is irrelevant, presumably a new chef has decided that customers don't actually want that warming chilli flavour. A 🌶 🌶 spice dish is now as bland as an English roast. The food was OK, but bland. Seems like the only way to get chilli on New Malden High Street now is to go to a Korean restaurant or brave a Tamil restaurant on Burlington Road which may be too spicy.

The food at this place used to be fantastic. All the dishes were different and you could choose spicy or mild as you liked. Now, although the menu is the same, my favourite dishes from the past taste quite nice, but bland. The menu itself still has the 🌶, 🌶 🌶 , 🌶 🌶 🌶 but it's irrelevant. Like nearly every other Indian restaurant, the chef has decided that people don't actually like a bit of chilli heat in their mouth and so even if you ask specifically for it, you can't have it. Now, if you want a spicy dish on New Malden high Street you must have Korean food or go down Burlington Road and risk the heat of a real Tamil dish (which may well be too hot for me.)

Came here with my family, and honestly, it was a great choice. I had the Railway Lamb, and it was so tender and flavorful. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. The whole vibe of the place is laid-back and cozy, perfect for a family dinner. We tried a bunch of different dishes, and everything had that perfect spice without going overboard. The naan was spot on, too. If you’re after solid Indian food and a chill spot to enjoy it, this place is definitely worth a visit.

So I ordered from this place for few yrs and had an odd few problems but tonight was an absolute joke!! I ordered at 5.30 and had been told that the driver would ring me when he is outside due to buzzer not working. So hr and half goes by and I have a phone call from them as I gave them my number saying I gave them the wrong number! How the hell did they manage to ring me and tell me that if It was the wrong number! So the driver comes back and my order was 34.50 and he had no change! I gave him 4 £10 noted already in his hand as he tells me next time I order the money they owe me will be taking of the bill! I said that's not happening as its not my fault that he has no change! So he said it will be OK! I've had enough messing around at this point and just wanted my money back and he would not give my money over to me! He then got so aggressive and shouted in my face he must of been 3 inches away so much that my next door come out to see if everything was OK! He then pulled his hand away as I tried to get them money and he then continued shouting! I felt so threatened that as I'm writing this I'm still shaking! I manged to snatch my money quickly and then slammed to door shut as I felt he was going to get violent! I have informed the police as this is a criminal matter l! AVOID!!!

We were desperate for some Indian food and this place is next to the train station. Restaurant was busy at 8pm on a Saturday, there was one guy running the tables and bar, hence service was quite slow and I did feel for him. Not really a great atmosphere in terms of decor. Food however was incredible and made the experience. From sitting down to getting our main (no starter) was just over an hour. Typical of Bangladeshi cuisines the mains (murgh masala) was incredible. As was the rice and garlic naan. Would definitely return if in New Malden

Lal Akash has a problem. The food is good but the service is terrible . It seems to be kitchen based as the front staff try to be helpful but it takes far too long for the food to reach the table. It’s a pity as the food is good but it ruins the meal. I would recommend to look elsewhere if you want to avoid being disappointed.

There was a big party of us for our friends birthday dinner. The chutneys that came with the poppadoms as our starters were cheap and nasty. I think they got the mango chutney from the Co-Op. All liquid. The main meal took an hour and a half to arrive and was average at best. I had the chicken Dhansak and the chicken was dry. I had to call the waiter over two or three times to get my second glass of wine and the house wine was awful. I wouldn’t have fed it to my plants. Why they expect people to wait an hour and a half for a meal is disgusting. Absolutely no excuses. The waiter didn’t even come over with dessert menus and simply cleared everything away. No teas, coffees or desserts were offered. Definitely won’t be going back.

Whilst having a day with our son, daughter in law & little grandson, they took us for a drink, then onto Lal Akash Indian restaurant. The food was delicious, well presented with a friendly waiter on hand. It was very nice that after our meal we were able to have a long chat with the restaurant owner, because it was early evening they were quiet. We often go to Lal Akash when we visit our son in New Malden and it's not far from their house enjoying the food efficient service & attention we receive which includes our grandson.

When we were visiting our son & family last Wednesday 24th in New Malden we decided to order a delivered takeaway from Lal Akash & have it in his garden with a bottle of red wine as it was such a lovely evening. The food was delivered promptly piping hot & just as tasty as eating in the restaurant as we normally do. We always enjoy going to Lal Akash which is a clean comfortable restaurant with efficient friendly management & staff, but on this occasion it would have been too late for our 3yr old grandson if we had dined there. Looking forward to our next visit.

I was walking down New Malden High Street and a sushi restaurant that's very good I was originally thinking of going to is closed on Sundays, so went to look elsewhere. There's a lot of good choices for enjoying Asian cuisine in New Malden, but I find most of the popular and high rated Korean restaurants along the High Street are very expensive, but I love Indian food and walked past this place and looked good. It's quite a small restaurant, so comfortable and quiet and the waiter/manager was very friendly. The buffet deal is £9.95 eat as much as you like, but I think it's only on offer at weekends. I was also offered a la carte menu to look at, prices are very reasonable and there's good choice. I opted for the buffet deal, it's standard with saag aloo, daal, mixed vegetable curry and a chicken dish which was delicious. Naan included, it was a decent and good value buffet and I would return and probably try something different from the main menu on a different day.

This place is not like the Cheam branch - The tarka daal smelt off - The prawn puri doesnt taste nice - The mutton curry was nice but less pieces of meat and filled with large slices of onion and vegetables - Does not provide freebies like the Cheam branch which gives papadums and dips

Every time I have visited this gem of a restaurants, the service has been great, superb food and fairly priced. More restaurants should take a leaf out of their book and remember that if you have a passion for your work and care about your customers your life richer. Chain restaurants are failing because they only care about profits. I am fed up of places that serve up underwhelming food and service is robotic. Treat and pay your staff well and the rewards follow

Food took ages to come, then finally when we were served, the lamb meat was only half cooked. I wasn't even able to cut it using a knife and you could see the raw parts of the meat. Chicken Jalfrezi was the other dish, the 'cut' onions are so large that you can't even eat them. I have eaten Jalfrezi countless times and I have to say this wasn't even near the normal standard. Moreover, the waiter was standing right behind while I was eating which was not very comfortable. The portions are very small, and overpriced. It simply isn't worth it. Even the music in the background was super annoying as it was a cartoon voice singing which wasn't very pleasing to the ears. I would not recommend it to anyone it isn't worth it, even with the high prices the meals have zero taste and aren't filling.

I ordered from here last night. We usually order from a different restaurant as it’s our favourite. Lal Akash might be the new favourite! I ordered a tandoori mixed grill for one, saag aloo and a peshwari naan. It came with salad and mint sauce. This could have fed two. Although it was a little pricey at £23 (we usually pay this for more food at our “favourite place”) it hasn’t put me off. The flavours of the mixed grill were fantastic. Disappointed there was only one prawn with it but it was delicious none the less. As well as all the standard skewered meat there a whole chicken leg. Once I’d got all the meat off it was delicious. The saag aloo was super tasty too. There was effort put into making this meal and you could really tell! I got two meals out of this. Will certainly be ordering from here again and am keen to try other dishes. Defiantly worth ordering from here. You won’t be disappointed.

Probably the worst service performed by Lal Akash last night 27th Aug. Food order which was collected, as a wait of an hour and a half for delivery was missing 3 dishes and some not what we ordered. The quality, normally of the best in Kingston, was lacking any substance, so where did you go wrong, a new chef or too busy. All the main dishes had just meat or prawns, no onions, herbs, just simply a liquid sauce of different colours. Normally happy to leave some for the next day, tbh, we threw it in the bin. Was not happy as we had guests last night. Now need to find another curry house.

A bad experience. 40 minutes to take our order. Prioritising takeaway orders. When challenged, argued every point. Food was good but felt let down by the whole experience

I went to Lal Akash last night 14th Feb with my wife as guests of my son & daughter in- law. They live in the area & it's their favourite Indian restaurant, so take us there when we visit knowing we love it too We...

Lal Akash is a simple Indian restaurant that also provides a takeaway service. During my visit there was no alcohol served (they were not licensed) but customers are welcome to bring their own.

Claiming to have been established since 1985, I was looking forwards to reliving the food nostalgia of my childhood. A local Indian restaurant I thought that might be able to deliver on flavour and tasty curries whilst still being affordable and homely. What I got was sweet, insipid and rather ugly tasting food. The worst dish positioned as a "specialty of the house" I think it was the Sagoti I ordered, tasted like a whole load of processed mint/ yogurt dip that you sometimes get with poppadums (should be made fresh but these days rarely is) had been warmed up and smothered over lamb. One word for how this dish tasted is "Yuk". The other dish ordered was Chicken Tikka Masala, and whilst I accept that there is an inherent sweetness to this dish, every mouthful shouldn't taste like I'm ingesting a spoonful of sickly sweet syrup. The sweetness was so overwhelming that I could have been eating anything, infact at that point I wished I was eating anything else but that horrible mess. Would I go here again, absolutely not. This is the second Indian restaurant I've had dreadful food at in Surbiton, so I'm starting to lose faith that any of them will serve up anything decent, and do justice to a cuisine I love.

Takeaway. Food is ok. Unfortunately takes between 1hr 30mins and 2hrs to arrive, consistently. I only live about 5mins from the resteraunt so it takes them an hour and a half to prepare a small meal for one. I was a regular customer but will not be ordering again. Food i just had that took 2 hrs to arrive was disgusting as well. Obviously. Because it's been riding round in a car for an hour. Having to get my money back through just eat and will not be ordering again.
