Mix Grill in Islington

a place to have some light and healthy food where we can get some food with out oil and spiced its fresh and healthy

This place is so unhygienic! The food was awful, undercooked and seemed like it had been prepared over a week ago. Walked out annoyed especially when you struggle to communicate, very poor English!!

Este es sin duda el peor para llevar que he ido en el mundo!!Yo estaba allí por casi una hora para conseguir fichas!!!!primero me sirvió bajo patatas fritas hechas. ¿Cómo tiene que suceder, incluso??!!Entonces pedí queso y rellenos de queso procesado triángulos y ponerlo en mis patatas fritas, entonces me dieron salsa que en realidad era un curry picante con ninguno de la carne.Al principio toda la experiencia fuera me cobraron £4!! Para la comida que ni siquiera pedir!!! El personal era especialmente desagradable ... en resumen no pierda su tiempo allí! Hay un lugar mucho mejor a la vuelta de la esquina.

I wish I knew the name of the Mix Grill's proprietress/cook from Bombay, because she deserves star billing here for not only providing delicious curries day in day out, but also for working so hard and staying so cheerful and welcoming. From the outside Mix Grill looks like any old doner/burger joint and if that's your bag, they have it; but you would be missing out. For one thing, her home made chicken sheekh kebabs in flat naan that she bakes to order, are a far better "fast food" option. Or her delicious home-spiced tandoori or tikka chicken. But her curries are the true glory. Each day there's a juicy, tender lamb or mutton curry packed with flavours - cooked on the bone, of course, because that's where the full richness of the taste comes from and, besides, you can suck out the delicious marrow; plus a couple of chicken curries, one off and one on the bone perhaps, with biryani rice (spicy, with chunks of chicken in), plain rice, and three or four vegetable curries: dhal, chickpea, spinach, aubergine, potato, etc. Towards the end of the week there's always a fish curry, made with Indian Ocean fish in a lovely tangy sauce. On Sundays don't miss her heavenly chicken soup, bursting with flavours of coriander and cumin. An enormous and generous plateful of curry comes at £4.50 (2010 prices) to sit in and eat at the tiny table or at the bar-style counter at the back, using plastic spoon and fork, helping yourself to water from the tap at the sink. Mix Grill gets crowded at lunchtime with Asian posties from the Mount Pleasant sorting office opposite. There is no booking system. It's cramped and hot. And it's heaven. Backpackers should make the pilgrimage. One warning: if you're a bit prissy about surroundings, well it's a bit cluttered in there; and if you're squeamish about bone-in lamb, you might prefer something politer and far less tasty. The rest of us can enjoy her gorgeous hearty home cooking to the full.
