Papa-Dum in City of London, Westminster

Acaba de pagar casi 10 libras por un tazón de arroz basmati con una pequeña guarnición de Muttar Paneer y 3 por dos pequeñas Samosa vegetarianas, M & S son mucho mejor valor. He estado viniendo a la sucursal del Muro de Londres por un tiempo y las porciones de producto son definitivamente cada vez más pequeñas. Puedo comprar varios kg de arroz por el mismo precio que este, lástima que el curry cuando en realidad solías conseguir un poco estaba bien se siente como otro pop-up codicioso ahora.

La comida es excelente! La limonada de rosas y cardamomo era brillante. Terminamos nuestra comida con helado de rosas. ¡No te decepcionará elegir este restaurante! Muy recomendable!

Ordered drinks and starters, was told by waitress we must order the mains also with the order at the same time. We were unsure what we wanted for mains and said we will decide after we’ve had the starters. She said we cannot do that and called the manager. The manager reiterated what the waitress said and stated we cannot just order drinks and starters. We therefore had to leave the restaurant, in over 30 years of eating out we never have come across such a ludicrous policy, definitely won’t be returning. They only want large orders for their eat in seating and this was an indirect way of putting it across to us. They deserve zero stars, plenty of other restaurants in London with much better attitude and most likely much better food.

We were walking around trying to decide what to eat for dinner and Papadum stood out to us. The staff were all friendly and efficient. We had a couple starters, the lamb curry and washed with their unique gin drinks. They have one dessert and it’s a great way to finish a good meal.

Warning for people who love an authentic vada pav, this is not it. Here, they serve it without green chutney and tamarind chutney for reasons unknown. This makes it dry and unpalatable. I asked for green chutney, and I was told it would be chargeable. We ended up eating it with the pav bhaji masala as that was the only way it was salvageable. The chocolate panic puri was a disaster. All hype, no substance. Avoid. The masala chai, pav bhaji, and dahi puri dishes were the saving grace.

Ordered Kala khatta mocktail which was just sweet syrup. There was no sourness(khatta) in the drink. Ordered thali. Two of the dishes in thali were cold. When pointed out the server said tha chef forgot to switch on the burner. Brought the dishes again but one of it was different saying that it has finished. Naan was not a naan. It was flat bread out of packet warmed up in microwave. Extremely bad experience. We went to london after very long time and were looking forward to nice evening. Spoiled our evening.

Great Indian food. Stumbled onto the restaurant while walking home and the food and cocktails were really good. Waiters were fun. I definitely recommend eating there.

The worst restaurant i got intestine bacterial infection after having chicken masala curry with basmathi rice suffering since 2 weeks Please avoid this restaurant

We were a table of 10 and they acommodated us as we went at 5.30. Food was average and the portions of meat/fish in the dish was bad. I had goan fish and there must have been a quarter of a piece of fish in there, making it more lije a fisny spicy thick soup! It was what i would give to a 2year old. What was odd: Being told you have to order everything at once - wont even bring more drinks if you need them Being told they wont give a glass /mug of hot water to my 76year old mum No salad on main dishes even two slices cucumber and some onion woukd have worked! Won’t be back - highly inflexible and don’t seem to grasp that they are jn the hospitality industry where people pay to enjoy and relax.

Went to branch next to Bond Street station Brilliant food and service. Very good portions and well worth the price. Not busy at lunch time so food comes quicky. Also has outside seating available.

good indian food at a prime location.the butter chicken is close to its indian taste. breads are also good. staff doesnt know hindi

I'd say on par with Dishoom for fast casual Indian dining with a better drink menu. We all loved it. Get every cold street appetizer they are great.

The server was delightful and very helpful with menu recommendations at this fabulous Indian Street Food restaurant. We ordered Chicken Biryani and Pav Bhaji to share and both dishes were incredibly delicious. To drink, we ordered Turmeric Masala Chai, which we both savored. If you’re looking for unusually tasty Indian food in London, we cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Ever since you have opened we visit frequently beacuse the food is to die for and the staff are just so welcoming and friendly. I recently had Covid for the first time and lost both my taste and smell for two weeks and when it did come back my first visit was to Papa-Dum in St Christophers place. THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING AMAZING and I can't wait to visit soon :)

The dishes we had were utterly delicious! Such fresh flavours - wonderful spices. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! I can’t wait to go back and work my way through the menu. Have already recommended to many friends and family. In addition, extremely friendly and professional service. Thank you so much! Sarah Tambe

I really enjoyed my visit to Papadum. I had some lovely deep fried savoury snacks and the chai was good - very strong. I'm always on the look out for places with Indian snacks & proper chai and I would definitely go back. The staff were even kind enough to give me a free gulab jamun!

Timeless destination and lovely setting. Service very good. The food was not authentic and over priced.

I ordered bhel puri this was bland and dry wasnt tasty at all Masala tea was too strong and i dont thinl brewed properly Service seemed friendly

Stopped for a meal had second thoughts after seeing menu should have left then but was persuaded by owner chef to eat meal served in dog plates small portions poor quality will not eat in this place again.

Had a lunch at the PAPADUM in 12 New Fetter Lane, EC4A 1JP (near Oxford Street). Expected the best of Indian but very disappointed!!! Cutleries not cleaned, food was tasteless, small potions and no presentation. Did not worth for the money at all. DO NOT...

Popped in on impulse. Friendly staff, very tasty potato masala. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area.

Pre-ordered lunch for a small gathering for a post Diwali celebration at work. Service was brilliant; food delivered hot and on time. Everyone was really pleased with their food options. I opted for the Goan fish curry which was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be popping...

Been a couple of times now & very impressed by the quality of the food on offer. Almost always go for a bhel puri as they are so tasty & light, but also have some smaller snacks in the hot counter. Place is clean &...

Hi David, Just to say “thank you” for yesterday's visit. We all enjoyed your delicious food, masala tea, and your nice hospitality

Just had the yummiest breakfast - a Bacon (Turkey) and Egg naan, with the most delicious mix of spices, and a wonderful Chai Tea. Will definitely be going back

I have been enjoying the lovely food at this restaurant since it opened 3 months ago, it’s very close to home cooked Indian food. The chaats are my favourite, especially the Bhel Puri and Dahi Puri. For vegetarian hot food I would recommend the Vada...

Incredible food. Reminds you of all that is truly great about the incredible nation of India. A nation from which we can all learn a great deal. Great location. Great service. Very fast and very welcoming. Good for any type of visit. Relaxing and homely....

I suppose its advent was inevitable. If other cuisines such as Chinese, Thai, Korean, Indonesian and Japanese are susceptible to being served as upmarket fast food, why not Indian? The interior with fridges of drinks and desserts could so easily be at Pret-A-Manger; the only...

Good food, good decor, will suit the office goers.. the curries were not heavy or spicy. will sure visit next time. and now they are starting with BF too...Excited..

I was fortunate enough to be approached by a young man (very easy on the eye) with some samples of Iced chai and Indian Street food. He was very charismatic and extremely passionate when describing the ingredients in the tastings, this plus the taste of...

Authentic Indian chai.. I am not a regular tea drinker but since Papa-dum has opened I am addicted to my evening tea! Elegant, simplistic and clean interior design. Good ambiance. Tasty food & Lovely dessert selection too.

My colleagues and I enjoyed a lovely lunch here. I had the chicken masala and rice which was good not too spicy. The food is halal here and there are plenty of veggie options. You can pick up some Indian soft drink brands such as...

Papa-Dum is a new entrant for me to the lunch time market. The menu contains a range of Indian inspired curries, as well as salads, sandwiches and wraps. I went for the Goan fish curry. This comes in quite a big box, and comprises steamed...
