Palms of Goa in Camden

Lots to say on this, but in summary, the curry itself was very average, the tables are cramped, service is rushed (they want your table back asap) and toilets downstairs are very tired & dirty. We were there on Friday night and it was ram-jammed to the point of getting nudged every few minutes by waiting staff and very loud. Really no need to return, there’s much better locally.

Great restaurant, impeccable service and top-notch cuisine, we had a great time, it was delicious, don't hesitate, it's a shame we had a group of 8 people behind us, super noisy, which was a little unpleasant, but nothing to do with the restaurant itself. I highly recommend it, thank you for everything.

Food was good. Service was amazing. I visited this restaurant with my baby and the staff were so kind. They helped us look after my baby till we finish our food. It was bit noisy due to crowd n busy hours.

Food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, friendly staff. All around superb. It’s busy for a good reason, loved it.

We were looking for an Indian place to eat and by chance we found this one and we loved it since the quality and price seemed excellent. The friendly service. We liked the food itself, it has its authentic touch being in London.

Had a fantastic time, I frequent different curry houses trying their spiciest curries generally the Vindaloo. The vindaloo was extremely delicious, Goan vindaloos always are, very spicy which is a must as generally the “spicy curry’s” aren’t very spicy. My friend had their famous fish curry and it was also fantastic. The owner was lovely, attentive and shook my hand as we left. Would recommend to anyone looking to eat a traditional curry in London.

I was away for a year and, upon coming back, discovered that it was as good as ever here!

Had dinner here a few times now . Real authentic Goan food . Service is always great . Looking forward to returning again

Very nice Indian restaurant in the heart of London ! Friendly staff and flavoursom food! Recommended 🌴

The food was good, the service was nice. The restaurant was very full and we were lucky to find seats.

Super friendly staff and delicious food! Recommended!

Wonderful food and lovely service. Only 4 stars for atmosphere because we sat outside so didn't get the experience inside. We got seated under the heat lamps which was great! I will definitely visit this restaurant again! 😊

Best Indian restaurant in London

Good food & excellent service ….

Thought it was going to be a lot better than it was

Incredibly disappointing. Super slow service, which I think is a tactic when it's not busy to encourage more drinks. Food when it arrived was in a small soup bowl. A paltry portion. Flavour wise it was fine. Won't be heading back.

I had stomach problems after eating here…

One of the best curry I’ve ever had Amazing hospitality from Eugene and family

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. It's a cosy little place, serving great food, with great service and friendly staff. We'll definitely be going back!

gorgeous food and friendly service, our party of ten on an early saturday evening were very well looked after and we'll be back i'm sure

Food tastes are not there, and a bit noisy environment.

I ordered masala chicken was ok (if you like the coconut flavor).

Great food and well priced. We were part of a large group (probably 50 people). The staff coped well and the food was good.

Lovely food lovely prices lovely service lovely location.

The only problem with this place is that it has ruined all other Indian food for me - I can’t believe the flavor , the texture AND they made me a special order not on the menu, paneer masala with the most insane raisin naan of my life and I eat…a lot of Indian food - actually second problem, my stomach is too small to eat anything else on the menu - you have to try this place, not to mention, the service was so lovely, such kind, polite people - you will not be disappointed here !! Thank you thank you thank you. Perfect end to my trip on London

Very delicious and great service

I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Friendly staff, really excellent food and the best onion bhajis in town! Would definitely recommend a visit.

Great service, the waiters are super attentive. The food was exquisite, we tried the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chicken Pistachio Korma. I recommend trying the papadums

Met a group of friends here for a curry. Everyone enjoyed their food very much and we received wonderful service. The price was also very reasonable. We will definitely be visiting again.

Fantastic Goan restaurant. We went for the Goan only menu and could not be more pleased. Great food, all freshly made - Xacutti, Vindaloo (vinha d'alho), fish curry. Great selection of veggie dishes as well. I have just found my new go-to place with good food and good service. Thank you Mr. Dias!

Wonderful food, authentic and tasty. The owner and chef Eugene is a great host and is celebrating thirty years this year !!

We came here having a lot of expectations and it not disappoint. The food it’s tradicional and delicious and the owner is super nice and welcoming. I recommend 100% coming here We will certainly come back

Best Indian meal I’ve ever had - unreal! Atmosphere was lovely and service was so quick and welcoming, the food exceeded all expectations and was so reasonably priced for the location. 100% recommend - will definitely return.

We had an amazing dinner! The service was great and the staff were super friendly! Will definitely go again!

Visiting London with my girlfriend and had probably our best meal of the entire trip here. I had the palms curry and she had a classic tikki masala. Easily the best Indian I’ve had in some years. Will be making the effort to make the trek to visit this place on every future trip to the UK.

Thirty years of family ownership. Great location (near the Museum), with great outdoor seating available (inside diningroom is kind of stuffy). The Vindaloo was the high point for me; spicy and delicious! Chicken Tikka Masala, a popular dish, is very sweet, so might ask them to add some Vindaloo sauce if you like it tangier. Entrees were a little small, but gets you a chance to order more different dishes! Selection of Indian beers. Well worth a stop!

Had the most authentic vindaloo in London here! Just as good as my aunty back home makes !!!! Amazing balacho and Eugene is such a great host. He makes you feel at home !! Amazing place been open for 30 years !! If you want Goan food this is the go to place in London ! If you haven't tried Goan food ....now is the time !!!

Great all around. Great spice level. Vegetarian thali was to die for. 10/10

Myself and my partner have been coming here every few weeks for nearly a year now, even right now while we’re both kind of broke. We will continue to do so. The food is fantastic, the best curry i’ve had in london and the owner is always so kind and up for a friendly chat. We always get the same thing, which I imagine isn’t their priciest order, but we are never pressured to spend more (which makes a massive difference and keeps you coming back to a place). The same certainly can’t be said of other restaurants in the area, and particularly the road. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Got the non veg Thali, soooo good. Restaurants also accommodated making food spicier upon request but definitely amazing.

I recently visited Palms of Goa in Central London and had an amazing dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious! The Masala Kulcha was exceptional, practically melting in the mouth. We started with the veg starters - Aloo Bonda and Paneer Pakoda - and both were delightful. The Veg Kofta was also very good. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

We brought a large group of over twenty people to Palms of Goa for lunch, and it was perfect! The staff was amazingly kind and friendly, and the food was both delicious and reasonably priced (especially the lunch specials). They got all of our orders right, and our meals came out quite quickly for such a big group. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options with everything clearly labeled on the menu. We will definitely be back again!

The food was really good and taste full. The lunch menu was so good, you get a lot of food for a little price. The staff is so kind and helpful

Amazing staff and extremely good lunch menu! Had the onion baji and it was superb 😊 Fantastic staff with an extremely good lunch menu! Ate Onion Baji and was full and very satisfied 😊

Very loud - very bland and love less food. I appreciated the manager for taking our feedback

Great food and great people!!! Loved it!!!! ✨️😊

Visited with relative who is a regular. Excellent food and friendly service. Good menu choice. Would definitely return. Recommend a visit.

We went for dinner and had such a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the staff were absolutely wonderful and so attentive!

The food was excellent as was the owner. Very engaging and made wonderful recommendations. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in London

London has the best Indian food in the world and this place was no exception! Service was great and timely! Inside & outside seating available and close to oxford st & Tottenham Court Tube. Highly recommend it:)

My friend and I had dinner here yesterday and it was fabulous. We chose to sit outside as it was a nice evening and Fabian the waiter took great care of us. We ate the Palms lamb curry that was flavorsome & delicious (although a little spicy), the green chicken masala that was cooked well, grilled lamb chops that were perfect, rice , salad and naan. Prices are really reasonable, service was great and the location is perfect if you are needing food during your shopping trip I would definitely stop off here for a spot of lunch or dinner.....Thank you Fabian- we will be back!

The lamb chops were succulent, the chicken tender, the popadom was evidently made in house and the beans were perfect. Honestly a 10/10 restaurant. I only came to eat some lunch and I was wow’d by the customer service and the quality.

Great restaurant - authentic food, freshly prepared and an extremely courteous and friendly host. Just the right place for a top meal in the hectic city!

I am an Indian approving the Indian food here. 10/10 amazing + Mr. Eugene is a super friendly guy.

What a great experience. The owner Eugine is fantastic. warm and very welcoming. Great food. Thanks to all of you

Went to Palms of goa and were disappointed when we choose items which were listed as from Goa and cooked in different style to south and North Indian dishes. Looks like standard paste used for dishes which are premade. Fish curry was a big disappointment which was supposed to be cooked Goan style. Tasted more like a paste used in cheap North Indian restaurants with pre made sauce. Began masala was average . Pumpkin curry was good and different. Again made with pre made paste but an item not many place offer. Spice level even after being told to make it spicy was targeted towards locals. Again because of premade paste. This place is NOT a goan inspired restaurant but another Indian joint.

Delicious food in a vibrant atmosphere, would recommend 10/10. Definitely going back!

The fish thali is extremely delicious ♥️

Best, and most reasonably priced, Indian in central London

Food and service were both excellent, as usual. We dined al fresco, which was refreshing given the arrival of spring. Will be back.

Lovely place and nice food. I have been there a few times now and had always been good.

Lovely place and nice food. I have been there a few times now and had always been good. Staff are polite and food delicious.

Ordered the lunch box to go as I was in a rush. Incredible food! Will have to dine in the next time! Also the owner and staff were very nice. 10/10

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Will be back for more!!!

I think it's the loveliest place for an authentic and casual Indian food in central London. The lunch specials are very reasonably priced, comes with good portion and delicious! The manager/owner Eugene is so friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

Food was amazing, found this place by chance and honestly cannot wait to come back. The service was great and food delicious! Lots to choose from including vegan options, affordable too :)

The Palms of Goa is in beautiful and historic Charlotte Street, in the Fitzrovia neighborhood. Your host, Mr. Eugene Dias, will make sure you have a most enjoyable evening in his restaurant. The food is spectacular - perfectly spiced and authentic Goan dishes. Though the restaurant is crowded and lively, your party will feel welcome to take your time to savor the food and each others' company. It's a must go, and then a must go back again and again!

Excellent food and friendly, helpful service. Great experience.

One of the best spots in Fitzrovia. Lovely, fresh, tasty cooked food and the best customer service !

Excellent address, we had a great time, lovely and attentive staff. A bit narrow and noisy place, but definitely worth the detour!!! THANKS

Love this place. The food is great and they are so friendly there . I strongly recommend this place . I keep returning as the food is so good .

Home cooked food, very friendly service with Eugene at the helm! Great location and outside seating when the summer arrives!

It's a very bad experience. Restaurant serves very small portions... They don't serve condiments like, they don't serve onion or pickle with punjabi veg, they charge £1 extra for just onion ring condiment with punjabi veg, which should come free with veg.. The behaviour of captain is also rough .. There were very less customers only we 2, I wonder why this was not a good run goal restaurant.. Not at all recommended.. Find some another restaurant, far more better then this atleazt.. spoiling name of Indian Food

Pleasant enough, but there's better food elsewhere in the area.

The beat curry in town! Lunch box is so tasty and filling. Thank you!

Love this place - lots of vegetarian options, and the set meals/thalis are particularly good value. Always tasty, and decent sized portions compared to a lot of places in this area.

Delicious dinner and marvellous team

Very nice restaurant, which stays authentic in this trendy area. Very good meals and polite and efficient staff.

Closest to authentic Goan food as I’ve ever had outside India. We ordered their fish curry, prawn balchao, and prawn curry - all were delicious. Friendly service too.

Delicious food, friendly service. Place was packed with not a single table left - a great sign.

Very nice restaurant, food was great and authentic

Very warm & friendly welcome! Lunch was fantastic. Fresh food, made with love! They are quick to serve which is great if you have to get back to work! I've also organised a dinner there for 35 people from all corners of the earth and they loved it! Thank you Palms of Goa! Very happy you are 5 mins from my office!!!

We had a delicious curry here, immediately seated and served with a friendly and smiling welcome, poppadoms within seconds with all the trimmings followed on by a fantastic set of currys and freshly baked Rotis and Naan. Spicy and tasty with a freshness and vitality that slaps. Will come again!

You will love this place for the food, great taste and a lovely vibes

Very good restaurant. We went for a late lunch, table of 8 people and we were very well received and advised. The dishes are copious and the welcome was top notch. A good address.

Great food, great service. The paneer, pork mas, and garlic naan were our favorites!

A good, popular Indian restaurant. The room is small and very noisy. The menu offers many varied Indian specialties and the portions are generous. It is easy to identify and avoid spicy dishes if necessary. The dishes are very good. Very small choice of desserts, mainly ice cream. The servers are friendly but overwhelmed by the number of tables to serve.

fantastic Indian with the Goan twist; reasonably priced, highly recommended

Very warm hosts. Mr. Eugene Dias, the owner is from Goa and has done a great job keeping the taste authentic. Tried the Vindaloo with masala Kulcha. He very kindly made it vegetarian even though the option wasn't on the menu. Although I expected it to be much spicier given the four chillies on the menu next to it. He also gave us a gulab jamun on the house which was delicious and a cherry on top.

Definitely the best value lunch in the area! Food's alway hot and the service is always great!

Definitely the best value lunch in the area! Food's alway hot and the service is always great! A large selection of dishes, but a stand-out meal is the 'lunch box' with both meat and vegetarian options.

The non veg thali is a must try. Pretty good restaurant with a nice ambience. 10/10 would recommend. :)

We had a good wonderful experience here, they altered the food according to our preferences and overall it was amazing.

As far as Indian food in restaurants within London goes, I found it to be decent and tasty. However it did not taste like authentic Goan food unfortunately. I was excited to see Prawn Balchao and also Xacuti on the menu, so ordered the Balchao in Chapatti and then Lamb Xacuti with Pilau rice. The Prawn Balchao roll had a good amount of prawns and was served with a salad garnish. It tasted ok, but lacked the classic tang of Goan vinegar and could've done with a bit more (chilli) heat. Still though, not a bad plate of food. The Lamb Xacuti was disappointing to me, as someone who loves this traditional dish. It lacked the coconut and spice balance that I've grown up and loved. Again, held up against curries at a lot of restaurants in London, it was a very decent one, just not what it should've been.

Delicious food in a friendly, traditional atmosphere. I can see why this restaurant has survived for 30 years. Would highly recommend.

We ate well, the dishes were quite spicy and very good, especially the thali which is the assortment of dishes in sauce, in our case fish. The servers clearly indicated to us the dishes with gluten or not for my intolerant mother.

Very good value for money/ lunch, nice vindaloo. The service is very nice and the people there are friendly- you can relax and enjoy eating. The food always has the right flavour & you can rarely taste a difference so you’ll be guaranteed to eat what you come for, in my opinion it’s very authentic.

What wonderfully authentic Goan meal! So happy we found this gem of a place. Eugene, the owner, was very kind and seated us though the kitchen had just closed. As for the food, the chicken wings, palm curry, and fish curry were all incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I really appreciate and excellent service Good quality food very friendly service l am proud to be goa thank you 😊
