Palms of Goa in Camden

The food was excellent. I ordered the kadhai chicken and the Prawn curry, they were both full of flavors.

We had a lovely meal here. All the food was delicious and the portion sizes were sensible, unlike in other restaurants. We had a mix of meat, vegetarian and seafood and it was all perfectly spiced and cooked. The service was great, very attentive and friendly. We would definitely go back.

We went for a dinner a friend and I - the food was fresh and delicious, the service friendly and prompt. We were able to easily book a table, and upon our arrival we were greeted and arranged the table. The menu has a good range and choice, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. We opted for a vegetarian main course (a dumpling curry), a lamb curry, coconut rice and mushroom rice - all of which were tasty and flavourful. Special mention for the naan bread, which was served warm and freshly made, with a soft dough. The place, the food and the service were enjoyable and we will be back soon again. Thank you to Eugene (the owner) and family, for keeping this small, indipendent restaurant open for over 30 years!

What a wonderful find during our day trip to London, this little restaurant was buzzing with people and we knew that that must be a good sign. Luckily we were able to get a table and immediately the wonderful service was on display, with drinks and poppadoms delivered within moments. The food was really excellent as well! We'll definitely be back on our next trip to London.

Fantastic restaurant with very friendly and welcoming owner. As a family favourite my parents have been coming here for many years. As a large group we ordered a number of dishes which were all thoroughly enjoyed. In particular I thought the pork vindaloo was excellent! Would highly recommend ⭐️

We visited and loved this little Indian restaurant. Rich in typical, quality cuisine, filled with the spicy flavors of South India, we let ourselves be charmed by its succulent dishes, for a price that is still reasonable for the city. The service was pleasant and the staff were smiling and competent. Located in the heart of London, it was easily accessible. A wonderful evening to share alone or with friends.

My wife and I discovered this restaurant by chance in February 2003, during our honeymoon. Every time we go to London, we go there for dinner one night. AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD, FROM THE GOA AREA. NO ODD OR MODERN EXPERIMENTS. HONEST AND VERY TASTY FOOD. THE OWNER IS CHARMING AND MAKES YOU FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE, AS DO THE WAITERS. THE LOCATION, IN THE MIDDLE OF CHARLOTTE STREET, IS UNBEATABLE AND VERY CENTRAL. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! BEST REGARDS FROM BARCELONA!!

Absolutely recommended Very friendly and super delicious food Would love to come back

It was delicious, I recommend the thali platter ! Perfect !

Delicious Goan food Very kind owner Make sure to take the Thali, not to be missed to try a bit of everything

I visited the Palm of Goa around 2 weeks ago but forgot to post the actual review so here it is… I found the location of the restaurant incredible whilst the overall seating outside was very nice. Overall though, I found the restaurant very average. The food itself did not necessarily contain the flavours I expected of Goan cuisine as a Goan myself. Whilst I found the service very average, the owner was not as welcoming or as talkative as I would have thought. I just felt that the overall food and service was very average.

The real Goa cuisine in it's best in London. We will repeat!

Had a lovely time here on a Friday evening. A great litt west End find Staff were great and the food was good . Fresh ingredients and open my palate to new tastes. And very fair on the wallet Thanks See you again

We had a family dinner on our citytrip to London, the food was amazing, the service was quick very kind. I would definitely recommend👍

Eugene D was a true legend and a gent, the service was very friendly and very fast. The food was delicious, I had the fish Thali and the sweet lassi. Will definitely be back.

it was awesome, the food, the service everything. 10/10 must visit

Mr. Eugene Dias thank you for the lovely service and food

Siempre es una alegría reunirse con amigos y comer en las Palmas de Goa. En el panorama gastronómico siempre cambiante de Charlotte Street, se ha mantenido una constante durante 30 años y hay muy 2 buenas razones para esto. La comida es excepcional y el ambiente creado por Eugenio y su equipo es relajado y amable. Las especialidades del Goan son deliciosas, en particular el Cordero Xacuti.

This wonderful restaurant has been a fixture in Charlotte Street for over 30 years. A warm welcome and attentive service await you from Eugene and his team. The menu offers you the best of Goanese and Indian cuisine, with dishes you may not find elsewhere in London. I'd always highly recommend this superb restaurant, I've been visiting since it opened!

Fui por primera vez a Palmeras de Goa hace unos 15 años, en ese entonces era un visitante frecuente. Hemos visitado un par de veces más recientemente, incluyendo esta noche. Sigue siendo uno de los mejores restaurantes indios que he visitado. El Cordero Xacuti, que es un curry clásico del Goan, sigue siendo sublime.

Great food great hospitality. Thank you Eugene!

Una de las mejores comidas indias que he probado - tuve el cordero korma y fue increíble. Éramos una fiesta de 9 y todos pensaron que sus opciones de comida eran geniales, un montón de ella y todas las comidas llegaron rápidamente, el servicio en general fue rápido y el personal es tan amable y acogedor.

The food was amazing and the service too!!!

Brilliant place. Loved every minute of it. Lovey owner and waiters. Food is perfect. - Came here a year later and the food is still the best. amazing service, Good energy

Nice curry house right in the heart of the west end by Tottenham court road. Fantastic to see allergens clearly labelled, and vegan items too. Dog friendly as well. Food decent, but marked down as spice indicator on menu is not accurate at all! Quite expensive for a curry.

sorry i was so excited to taste goan flavor but it really taste like normal bangladesi indian food

One of the best place in London to have a decent food with great hospitality. Owner is sooper cool and happy to assist you on any questions asked and help to server you the best recommendation. Foods really tasted Indian and authenticated in flavours and when we asked for spicy we got the food spicy not from adding chilli sauce as most restaurants do that.. Really a pleasant place with good atmosphere. For owner: Restrooms needs change but apart from that everything was damn good.

Absolutely amazing food, it's the best Indian food I've ever eaten. Staff is nice and very welcoming, we even had a little chat, it felt so cozy and warm. Seemed like all the visitors in the room were very satisfied and happy with everything too. I recommend this place to everyone! And I recommend this to vegetarians and people who are on a diet too, it was clearly marked in the menu if some food was vegan or gluten free etc. Had a great time here!!!:)

Amazing food!!!!! Good price and good service.

Lovely restaurant, amazing food and a very friendly owner :)

The food here was so good and the staff were very friendly!

My brother and I had dinner there yesterday and absolutely loved it. Great food and fantastic service! I Would definitely recommend reserving a table and coming in for a meal.

Love this place! We go every week, highly recomend

Work in London staying away from home. As a company a few of our staff including my self visit about once a week. Lovely food, service is brilliant, can’t do enough for you visit, very friendly. Must visit Indian in London

Nos habían recomendado ir aquí, aunque al leer el menú a la llegada tres amigos goan tuvieron grandes dificultades para encontrar más de uno o dos verdaderos platos goan. Saludos del personal bastante amable, aunque el servicio ni siquiera llegó a ser informal. Los entrantes estaban bien, pero no espectacular. Todos los platos principales eran bastante promedio - los biryanis estaban poco aromatizados y no bien condimentados. Plato de gambas estaba bien. El punto revelador sobre la comida para mí fueron las Palmas de Goa Marsala / Chai que resultó ser una bolsa de té chai (disponible en cualquier supermercado de alto o bajo costo) con lo que parecía ser leche en polvo en el fondo de la tetera. A 4 libras. 95 por persona esto fue una absoluta desgracia. N. be. Hago mejor chai en casa. No es una gran experiencia y no se debe repetir. Un establecimiento que vive de aventuras pasadas.

Absolutley love this place! A gem for quick city lunches, and delicious curries meals for sitting in too. Lovely staff, so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

I came to Palms of Goa as it was recommended by a friend. The food was amazing and the service was good. We did not have wait for the food for too long. .

Incredible food and incredible service

Lovely fresh flavours, friendly atmosphere and attentive staff. Would definitely go back.

Dined in with a friend as I wanted to introduce him to the Goan flavours and Palms of Goa was the best place for that. Mr. Eugene was really helpful and the food was delicious. Will visit again!

We came across it by chance with some friends, and it was a very nice surprise! Excellent dishes and very pleasant service. The boss is very friendly. My advice, take their "chutney" in addition to their dish, the mango chili is incredible!

Very delicious meal, refreshing wine, and exceptional customer service

One of the best indian meals we’ve had in Europe. Such good food and kind service.

We had ordered the Fish thali. The thali was delicious with numerous different types of fish to taste. Highly recommend!!

The food is absolutely amazing every time. We can only recommend the mango chicken and the lamb with apricot and lychee. The service is very friendly and helpful.

Amazing food at amazing prices!

I came to Palms of Goa for lunch based on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint! It's a no frills space that had a few other parties dining when we were there but it wasn't super packed. What we had: - Paneer Pakora - Non-Vegetarian Thali (Tandoori chicken, sheek kebab, keema masala, chicken korma, chicken curry, salad, dal, pilau rice, and naan) - Mango Lassi Final Thoughts: Everything was very yummy! I don't have Indian food often so I enjoyed having a combo that gave us a variety to sample. One of the sides in the combo has nuts which I'm allergic to so I just asked the staff if anything else had nuts to verify. I planned to just avoid that one dish, but upon hearing about my allergy the staff ensured me they would remove nuts from everything for us so I could eat it as well which was very kind of them. Great service, good food :)

Segunda visita y la comida era buena. Como el curry pescado. El servicio era bueno también. Restaurante a un precio razonable en una buena ubicación

Always find friendly service and very nice food lovely food and amazing people

Food not close to goan, it’s super spicy and taste less. Super expensive for the food they offer. Toilets bad no baby changing room. Service very slow. Unnecessary hyped. Not going to this place again.

Food is catered to western people as it wasn’t spicy and it was sweet. Vindaloo wasn’t spicy

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.

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

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

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

Des plats très savoureux et un service aux petits soins. On ne met pas 5 car on a beaucoup attendu mais franchement c etait excellent !

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! 😊

Maravillosa comida y servicio! Tenemos una mesa afuera, pero todavía tenía un gran tiempo. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa. Sin duda visitaré aquí de nuevo.

Good food & excellent service ….

Best Indian restaurant in London

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

Después de despedir a mi familia en Kings Cross, decidí dar un largo paseo. Terminé en Palmeras de Goa y decidí ir a comer thali (lunes 7 de octubre de 2024). Elegí la opción no vegetariana; para ser justos, aunque el restaurante estaba bastante vacío - era un lunes que puede haber tenido algo que ver con ello - sí que tardó un poco en llegar. No hay problema; toda la comida, con una excepción, era delicioso y me dio un verdadero aventón. La única excepción era la pata de pollo que, aunque sabrosa, parecía ser de un ave cuyos músculos se habían desgastado por falta de uso. No había mucha carne, así que me concentré en el resto de la comida. Mencioné el pollo al dueño que se disculpó. Es ese pollo lo que significa que The Palms pierde una estrella en mi reseña (tenga en cuenta que le estoy dando cuatro estrellas no porque sea comparable a una buena experiencia gastronómica, sino porque dio en el lugar y era una buena relación calidad-precio. ) Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona.

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
