Palms of Goa in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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 ♥️

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

Best, and most reasonably priced, Indian in central London

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

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

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!

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!

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 :)

Excellent food and friendly, helpful service. Great experience.

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

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

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

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 .

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Wheres the flavour and spice????? Searched for a Thali restaurant in London and decided to try Palms of Goa based on the reviews, so I called and although they were busy with group bookings they kindly offered a booking at 20:30. We arrived and were promptly taken to our table for 4 and the place was busy as fairly small restaurant, viewed menu and placed order for 3 non veg Thali's priced at £22 each. The Thali comes with as pictured a tandoor chicken, small kebab, salad, Dal, 2 chicken pots Butter and other, lamb mince with peas, rice and nan, so upon arrival looked nice until we started to eat the food. Why the negative? Kebab was awful in taste The butter chicken was way too sweet The other chicken pot whatever it was had absolutely no taste/flavour of any kind, totally bland. The mince peas again lacking any flavour None of the 3 Thali:s ordered were finished or even half digested by us, so a total waste of £70 and left feeling hungry, so had to buy a takeaway later that evening for the kids. Yes busy, but I guess when your drinking alcohol you may not care about taste, we do and this failed in every way on flavour of food and spice

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

Really busy for a late Monday lunch which was a good and encouraging start. A warm welcome, and interesting menu with plenty of Goan fayre and other dishes not often seen. We ordered both the vegetarian and non vegetarian Thali, biryani, roti, naan and lassi. Plenty of food for four hungry adults and a entirely reasonable bill of £77. There's no service charge automatically added (I can't remember being in a restaurant when that happened!) and on reading about the restaurant, the owner was humble enough knowing his long running and successful business, would elicit a worthy tip. He and it did! We will be back as there's plenty more to explore on the menu.

Came here after a cycle ride around London. We were starving but had our bikes with us which limits where we can go. However.... we were able to park our bikes on the side of our (end) table and had drinks and gorgeous food. The food was hot... tasty and the service was very good. Very polite staff. We visited in the summer last year but the memory lingers. I will be definitely coming again when I next visit London.

Vibe of the place is awesome. Accommodated us after a nearby restaurant - Chettinad - unfairly cancelled our reservation for 12 people. Host was super nice and catered to our every need. Food was very tasty, especially the xacuti (a goan classic). A must go if you're in the Holborn area!

After having a nearby Indian restaurant cancel our birthday reservation for 12 people last minute, we called Palms of Goa who were absolutely amazing and said they would find a way to accommodate us all and to give them 30 minutes as a group was finishing their meals. They literally saved our evening given it was a busy Thursday night. Not only that, from the moment we entered the staff were wonderfully hospitable. Then we get to the food - 10/10. Amazing flavours, every dish was a delight. There is a reason they have been in the neighbourhood for 30 years. They showed us a wonderful evening, bellies full and I’ll definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal at Palms of Goa! We were a big group of 12 and unfortunately our booking elsewhere was cancelled last minute. The team at Palms of Goa managed to squeeze us in which we greatly appreciated. Lovely service and delicious food!

So kind. Service was so genuine. I will be returning

Brilliant place. Loved every minute of it. Lovey owner and waiters. Food is perfect.

The king prawn masala was perfect

Whilst we had a fine time at Palms of Goa, we found the food to be lacking in flavour. We ate vegetarian, so perhaps this is less of a speciality: the pumpkin curry was bland, and our rice dish was too. The dahl did have a nice smokey flavour, and this was probably the best dish we tried. The service was good and dishes were reasonably priced , but I couldn't recommend based on the food.

When we went the place was packed! We ordered the garlic naan, roti, palms curry, lychee cooler, and kofta curry. Everything tasted great and service was quick despite there being a huge table of 10+ in the restaurant. I would definitely recommend the palms curry. I usually can’t handle spice very well but it was a spice level of 2 and i was able to eat it without needing a break.

I've been enjoying meals at Palms of Goa since 2006! I can't recommend it enough. The lunch specials are delicious and inexpensive. So many fond memories of lunches with friends and colleagues here. Five brilliant stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a great little find in London! Will definitely be going again!

Super friendly owner, Eugene, who greets customers at the door and makes everybody feel welcomed. The food was excellent. I had the fish thali, and the fish was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be returning to try more!

I really enjoy having lunch here, the lunch menu is great - tasty food, decent portions and very reasonably priced. This is a real gem of a place.. top service and friendly atmosphere.

nice waiters but ridiculous portion and very expensive.and service not included. only 3 adults ate, for 100 £, without dessert.

Came in for valentine's day dinner. Really good service and amazing authentic fish thali!! The fish curries tasted very goan. Highly recommended and Mr Dias was amazing. Will be coming back!

Engene, the manager along with the whole team is devoted to ensure that the customers have the best of experience based on the customers preference.The wine, Font De-Rhone , 2021, France, Famille Charrier, recommended based on what we were looking for along with our Goan chicken dish grilled was spot on. We devoured the experience.

What a refreshing experience of Authentic Goan food. Pipping hot with exquisite unique flavours. I’m a total foodie and rarely if not in a blue moon do I experience such amazing food in such reasonable settings and prices. After all I wasn’t walking into a Michelin Star but I surely wasn’t treated to experience any less. The Boss The Main Man of the place My Eugene Dias on his toes on a journey to feed and satisfy. It’s clear his mission is to get to people through their stomach. I had the green chicken and soft tender chapatis. So satisfying that my taste buds couldn’t risk other flavours but I’m so very curious what the next visit holds. Grazie and God Bless. Oh by the way dessert was a compliment.

Karahi chicken is a must try. 😋 5 stars for it.

One of the best curries I’ve had in london. Excellent food with the usual organized chaos service.

We chose to eat here due to the good reviews on Tripadvisor and the restaurant was busy on the night we ate there. However, it's a very basic, average restaurant, with bland food - I had a prawn biryani which tasted of nothing in particular. Frankly we get better food in our local bog-standard take-away and that's not saying much. It certainly isn't high quality and I couldn't wait to get out, having eaten only half of my meal. It is cheap for central London, though.

Good service and good food. Friendly staff

Lovely meal! Fresh food and delicious tandoori chicken!! Paneer curry was one of the best. In a cute spot on Charlotte Street near Soho!!

Food and service was excellent. They keep a good selection of wines

Great food, Great Service, Great experience Went for dinner with friends and a member of staff went all the way to buy ocra upon seeing our reaction to them running out. If not for the above and beyond hospitality, come for the delicious and tastefully spiced variety of Goanese and Indian dishes

Ordered a vindaloo with coconut rice and garlic naan bread. The food was brilliant and the staff were very helpful. Will be visiting again very soon

I’ve been going to the restaurant for many years and although I now live abroad, it’s my first destination when visiting to enjoy the fantastic food. The staff are always efficient and welcoming and the food is excellent. I only wish NYC had something that can compare with Palms of Goa !!!

3 of us, big lads. We’re told to shush despite other tables being noticeably louder. Food took 40 mins+ to arrive but was good.

I‘m sad that i‘ve found this place at the last day of my trip because i would‘ve esten here all day. It was absolutely delicious :)
