Le Chamarel in Haringey

Lovely Mauritian food. Nice atmosphere. Loves the roti and arouille

Very Authentic Mauritian Cuisine! 👌

Outstanding chamarel I only placed I can trust iam not a person takeaway and food is really fresh nice tasty

Really disappointed with this place, we have been waiting 4 years to come here as my husband is Mauritian and everyone mentioned that this place is very authentic. As we walked in we were completely ignored by the two middle aged men behind the counter, and to my suprise there was a sign on the toilet saying 'out of use' so I couldn't even wash my hands. Everyone in the restuarant seemed very quiet and I could understand now as they were waiting to get the attention of the man serving. Finally after waiting 15 minutes got up and asked him about the food choices, he passed me a very limited menu and when asked to explain he proceeded to tell me that is it on the menu. When we ordered dhaal puri he asked one of us to pick it up from the counter, and refused to bring it over to the table. I thought if the food is amazing I will give an amazing review and let people know that the owners are very rude... But this was not the case the dhaal puri was completely tasteless and the fish biryani was like chewing gum it was sooo dry. I left the majority of my food and left swiftly. If anyone knows of any Mauritian places that are warm and beautiful as the people of the Mauritius are, please please let me know as travelling two hours for this was not what I expected at all...

It's the only place I go for chicken noodles. I have tried many different restaurants but can't beat the taste. Would recommend anyone to try.

Wonderful food and lovely people. I recommend 👌

En vacances à Londres ya 2 mois,très bonne mine frite et gâteaux

Great food close to transport links

Very nice and yummy Mauritian food. The owner of this restaurant is very humble and friendly.

If u want propper Mauritian food come to this place and if u don’t ask for the sega sega sauce you missing out this place is the best place for authentic Mauritian food no cap SEGA SEGA SAUCE IS THE BEST on anything and everything

Excellent food 😋!! Excellent service 👌 Authentic mauritian food 😋

As a Mauritian myself I can fully endorse this restaurant. The food is excellent. The only thing that can improve is the staff seemed slightly overwhelmed and the restaurant was extremely busy, but I feel they did they best they could.

Food is absolutely on point!!! Tasty, fresh and mauricen flavours 💯 Impeccable service and great value for money. Will definitely be back 😉

Authentic Mauritian food. It was very tasty.

Amazing food and very friendly service.

Discovered Le Chamarela few years ago and been ordering Mauritian Biryani (tried chicken, beef and fish) over the years for birthdays/family gatherings. This time we ordered the special fried noodles. When we came to pick up, my boys were starving in the car so we sat down and had the dhall puri (yellow pancakes) each and it went down a treat. It was nice and warm on a cold day and brought up nice memories of my teenage years eating dhall puris by the roadside in Mauritius! The noodles were ready at the appointed time (ordered the day before by phone) and they were lovely for the party

Feels like you’re almost in Mauritius! The staff was very welcoming, the restaurant is clean and the dishes were made fresh to order. We had rotis, curry and fried noodles, with garlic sauce! The food was made with fresh and authentic Mauritian ingredients! If you are looking for a little piece in Mauritius in London, I recommend having a meal at this restaurant.

Simply amazing food they got and it’s awesome.

The best authentic Mauritian food in London! Chamarel was the very first Mauritian restaurant in North London and they have maintained their lead. Keep up the hard work and dedication!!

By far the most authentic Mauritian food in the whole of London, if not the UK.

Très bonne cuisine mauricienne Accueil chaleureux 🥰 Merci à vous

The octopus curry here is a culinary masterpiece. Combine that with the friendly staff and easy navigation on maps – an unforgettable dining experience!

Great tasting Mauritian food, very authentic. Prices are fair and portions are good. Friendly staff. There are places to sit and dine in but seems like more of a takeaway place.

Tried a couple of Mauritian restaurants in the UK and nothing comes close to this. I had Fried noodle, Halim, boulette poison and chicken briyani all tasted delicious. This place deserves more recognition. Its a shame we live so far away...

Service always slow but nice food and expensive but cost of living gone up I suppose. Someone said about being mixed that's nonsense I'm mixed and never had an issue here they always been pleasant. They're obviously just curious and maybe you were being over zealous going on about Mauritius when you don't look it. I have cousins that are half Jamaican that do the same thing always tryna prove something.

We ordered catering for a 40-person event, and the food was excellent. Both Mauritian and non-Mauritian guests alike loved the food. Great service, thanks to Aneesah

Absolute horror of a restaurant. Never have anything in stock. Don’t visit if u want to save ur money

Mashallah amazing noodles and fried rice merci

Really good quality Mauritian food😋

Amazing food....can pre-order so don't have to wait...

The food was not fresh at all, so so disappointed.

We had a work event so decided to order a variety of dishes to make people try. Imran was very attentive to our needs and the food was lovely, especially the snacks!

Food is amazingly good..plenty of Mauritian typical gastronomy..The dholl puri and roti so authentic and yummy..The staff are very friendly and will also be ready to help and assist you..I think the sitting area could be improved though , make it more Mauritian style but overall 5 star to this little gem

Always delicious food, and served with humour and a big smile. A taste of back home

If your mixed race and Not fully Mauritius they will discriminate you.. Felt like I was being interrogated over my ethnicity as I’m from Mauritius / Jamaican whilst ordering food. The Old Man is very disrespectful and 1 staff member constantly asking me questions.. I don’t recommend that his place at all… Will not be coming back again.

The food has gone downhill from what it was. The rougaille in dhall pouri seem to be tin tomato heated up it was discusting!!mine frite was not mauritian style.

Delicious food, shame they had ran out of the Bol Renverse - had the noodles instead

Been ordering here for years and the food has always been amazing! The Channa puri and veg min frite are personally my favourite! 💯

Nostalgic Mauritian Food when you haven't got the time to make it yourself. Food is amazing! What more can I say?!

If you want microwaved food.. this is the place. I don't understand why there are so many 5 stars review. This place is a disgrace to Mauritian food.

Good quality real Mauritian food. Dalpouri and mine frites 😁

Take away only during my visit Friday night. Food is Very good and tasty. I will be back.

Best Mauritian Restaurant in town 😃 Good for take away and bulk party orders.

Like the food, the environment and the service... wish i could visit more often

The snacks was absolutely delicious. But the noodles was a bit burned. It had that over char burned taste it leave an aftertaste to the mouth. I think next time the chef need try to not over cook the vegetables. Price is reasonable.

Very good Mauritian restaurant & very hygienic.

Coming back after 4 years, it was a a major blessing to have their food once more. Their Dhall Pouri and Gateau piment were off the roofs. I felt that homely energy aswell after going there and the service provided was top notch. The vibes given is a family vibe and I felt that. I heavily vouch for this place as they provide authentic Mauritian food and their service is outstanding. Love for sorting me out with all the food. Wouldn’t have been possible without you. Amazing.

Nice Mauritian authentic dishes

Absolutely brilliant, great customer service from Imran, delicious food and great atmosphere. Good price and Highly recommended 👌

Great customer service. Got there at 7:20 as was driving back from a day out with family but they were closing at 7:30 due to Ramadan but they happily served me takeaway knowing that I'm due to break my fast also. They gave free dates and drinks for my journey home. The food quality was excellent and the taste was good. I can definitely visit here over and over again.

Chamarel is not a racist business. They have customers from all over the world. Anyone from Mauritius knows we are an island where a lot of the part of the globes history is present today. The food is lovely, agreeably when it’s busy like lunches you may have to wait. But their hospitality is beyond! If you are in a rush kindly let them know, I’m sure no matter what colour your face is you will be accommodated for and not turned down.

So happy to have found this authentic mauritian restaurant, the staff bring a smile to my face, its so good to hear my native dialect being spoken and smelling the fresh foods. Their Daal Puri is to die for, amazing quality and low price, made in front of you, we even came back for seconds and their desserts are scrumptious. Its definitely my go to restaurant for the rest of my life.

Very good place to get mauritian food in london. Tasty and fresh food

I can only imagine that the one star reviews are from owners of other restaurants. It's even more likely that these Mauritians have been offended by the owner's unsmiling demeanor. Or even MORE likely, if you're Mauritian yourself, you'll know that plenty of Mauritians cannot but help bring their own people down when they're quite clearly successful and very good at what they do. Jealousy is not a useful trait. Visit this little restaurant with confidence. Over the last 3 years I've eaten various dishes from the menu: different versions of biryani, min frire, du riz frire, the different legumes, and - my favourite - bouillon crab, which was absolutely incredible. Come to think of it, I've had several curries at Chamarel too. I am also guilty of having eaten every single one of the desserts they have on offer, buying the puddin manioc far too many times. Even the salads and pickles are perfect. I am Mauritian - my grandmother and mum cook Mauritian food every single day - there is no way anyone can say that this food is not authentic Mauritian food! The gateau piment is so good that it's as though you've bought it from a street vendor in Camp Diable! It only feels expensive because in Mauritius we're used to paying 12 rupees (about 30p?) for a pair of dhall puri so paying £2 here seems expensive. But it obviously isn't. Visit Le Chamarel and see for yourself! I'll be there (again) very soon.

Really great tasting Mauritian food. Crab soup, absolutely delicious. All my friends love it when I bring them here. UPDATE: Post COVID-19, the restaurant is now running as a takeaway only service.

Lovely daal puri and sauces, Briyanies, and fried rice.

Very good Mauritian food, little Mauritius in North London.

We bought a takeaway from Le Chamarel. The other dishes were OK, but the fish vindaille was truly awful. In the whole £8.90 dish there was less than half a fishfinger worth of fish. It was basically a big dish of onions in mustard sauce. We wont be going again, there are other better Mauritian options in Wood Green and Palmers Green.

Great food & great service ! ! Definitely recommended ! Thank you

Whoever is posting 5 star reviews of this place and saying this is “excellent Mauritian food” either don’t have tastebuds or don’t know what Mauritian food actually is. Absolutely appalling service, trying to charge us extra right in front of us, thinking that we didn’t understand creole? And the food wasn’t even worth it, not even in the slightest. Cold, dry, flavourless food. So disappointed that this is the Mauritian cuisine you are trying to sell to people. Not a good representation at all - with not only your food but also your behaviour and attitude. As a Mauritian, i’m embarrassed and EXTREMELY disappointed of the owners of this restaurant and the standard of the food… or lack thereof.

Went there for the first time yesterday, won’t be going again! Food wasn’t good at all!

Food was lovely, staff were very pleasant. So glad I bought loads of food - it was all great!

Went there from but they don't what is in the menu. Waste my time .

Average food, but massively overpriced! Teeny tiny samosa for £1 each! Pay extra for salad and chutney. On the plus side, they serve authentic dhal puri and it is a clean place.

Lovely place. I go there often and they have nice food from Mauritius.

Extremely amazing and wonderful place to eat

Perfect if you want a taste of traditional mauritian cuisine

Excellent Mauritian food and great service

Great selection of delicious dishes and lovely service, always

Good and tasty Mauritian food..

Amazing beef Briyani with salad! Lush and very authentic Mauritian recipe. All our family wedding Briyani comes from Chamarel.

The best dhal puri in London. Biryani is also amazing. Devi deluxe is nothing compared to this place! Great customer service too. Highly recommend.

The food is hit and miss...the Daal Puri was great but the Biryani and Roti was not very good. Roti was undercooked and was very doughy and Biryani no flavour...more rice and currys than a proper bargain. On the flip side the Daal Puri was fluffy and cooked perfectly. Also, achar legume and pima was fantastic. I have eaten at this place lots and generally the food is good and would still go back. Maybe they were having a really bad day.

Never disappoints. Lovely staff and great food

I ordered chicken fried rice and spinach curry. Both were cooked really good and the spices were brilliant, not overwhelming at all. The place was nice and clean, and the food was wonderful!

Lovly place, and I love Mauritius cuisine

Delicious food and cakes.. Highly recommend....Yummy food 😋

We travelled from the other side of London to try Le Chamarel's Mauritian food (which is non-existent where I live) and I'm so glad we did. Their Covid takeaway service was well handled. My octopus rougaille was delicious and an amazing introduction to Mauritian food, while the Glenryck (pilchard) curry is incredible - I've never had a curry quite like it anywhere else. The homemade tamarind juice was wonderful and fresh, and it's worth trying as many of the interesting snacks and desserts (like taro fritters and cassava pudding) as you can. Portions and prices were great too. The food here is unpretentious, bold and masterfully flavoured; this is the kind of establishment all Londoners should cherish.

Food was lush, we had dhal puri,roti,gato pima, napolitan,etc. Kids love the food too,considering I have a fussy eater. We definitely go eat there again to try other varieties of food. A lot of choices available.

I am mauritian so this place is amazing

Excellent nourriture Mauritienne! Dommage que le restaurant ne soit pas ouvert pour manger sur place, mais je recommande!

One of the best mauritian restaurants and takeaway I have been to the food always on point compliments to the chef. A real taste of the Mauritian island. Highly recommended

Unfortunately with the current situation with convid everything is limited, looking forward to having a sit down meal again soon

Meilleur place pou mange dal puri !

Byliśmy tutaj podczas przerwy obiadowej przy okazji przeprowadzki niedaleko. Ciekawe i nowe połączenia smakowe. Warto czasem spróbować czegoś innego. Polecamy

Delicious food, friendly helpful staff, great prices. The homemade drinks are really good!

Got introduced to Mauritian food by coco rico in the city, which is very nice to. Came to le chamarel with some expectations with my in laws and children. The ambiance is simple and it is mainly a take away, which gave me the hint that the focus is on food, good food. That was correct. Very lovely starters and dishes combining French, African, Indian and Chinese cuisines in various dishes. Very nice variety of food an all cooked well. The owner is very friendly and happy to tell everything about the cuisine and country and noticed that I enjoyed the spicy green sauce so much, that he give me a complimentary pot to take home! I will definitely come back and bring people with me that can appreciate subtle blends of spices and variety of food

Best Mauritian food in London ever... We miss it SOOO much! Just want to come back from Spain only for this restaurant! haha

Excellent food best Mauritius food in England

Very good food and very tasty. Wish portions could be bigger. The bol renverse one of the best u can get in london

Delicious food and service. Great family vibe.

I had never tasted Mauritian food before and this was a great introduction. The people who run it are lovely; they're warm and friendly, and take the time to explain the choices on the menu. We had a lot of fish and the chef told us it was fresh from Billingsgate Market. Our choices tasted great, with many different flavours. The puddings were good too and very reasonably priced. Makes a lovely change in often rip-off London to get something of such good value. I'll be back.

Very disappointed by this restaurant Staff very rude, food isn't fresh and over price food. Would denfintely NOT Recommend this place ... I suggest the owner go on a customer service course on how to greet customers and not have moody face all the time... Only have a conversation with is local customers ....A

Excellent... Restaurant sympathique, bon acceuil, serviable. Très bon niveau goût et pas cher. Le dholl puri est top comme le mine frit poulet. À recommander.

Great food, great service, great price! Lovely restaurant - I will definitely be back.

Was delighted with all the offerings. Delicious Briany, lovely noodles, very nice gateau piments and gateau arouilli. poudine Maille, reminiscent if my school days. Thank you for enabling us to relive our memories. Will be back.

Little restaurant with big flavour!! Visited this weekend in a group of six and everyone was wowed by the food from starters, to dessert. Great service too.

Visited with a group of six and must say we loved the food. It really was great. The staff was also very friendly and helpful too. Thanks for the great service.

🇲🇺 Great food. Brings Mauritius to London 🇲🇺

I have been going to eat at this restaurant for quite a number of years and I have found the food to be of the highest quality and overall the cleanliness of the restaurant which is quite important to me and my family. The food is of a high standard and fresh, the briyani and dhall puri are our favourite food and all the mauritian savoury cakes are very tasty. All I can say if you have not been there yet, you need to as you will not be dissapointed, also the atmosphere is great and staff are very freindly. Yousouf K
