The food was delicious but the service was even better! They took time to check for food allergies as well. Each person was friendly and kind. Highly recommend!!

Very lovely place to eat, we ordered the popadom basket which came with a teriyaki sauce of some kind and mango chutney for the popadoms (there was none of the original stuff you would get somewhere else like the onion salad etc). We also ordered the chicken tikka, and also we asked for a chicken tikka main cooked in the clay ovens? They had no idea what this was so was given something different but it was still very tasty. We also had 2 types of breads to go with it with some onion bajis which were delicious. The food was very lovely and we would definitely go again, but found the staff didnt know alot of the classic dishes other places do, which for us as newbies to indian dishes was abit hard for us to explain what we usually have to people who didnt really know alot about the idian foods xxx but the service was amazing and the food was phenomenal so please dont let this reciew put you off as we would definitely return again 🥳💓. The bill was just under £60 which we thought was quite high for what it was but everywhere we went they added a service charge on and we are not 100% sure why as we always tip anyway.

This is indeed one of the more interesting places I've tried when it comes to Indian cuisine - the food was soul-satisfying and plentiful with its exotic blend of aromatic spices from start to finish. The staff were all very friendly and loved to engage in conversations with the diners and the prices are reasonable given the amount of food you get - particularly if you are a student as they offer discounts. Very clean restaurant with plentiful comfortable seating.

Needed a Coeliac-safe meal. They were able to accommodate my request. Great flavor and value. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Tavistock and having a restaurant in the hotel was a plus.

We ( two mature ladies) came to dine here in the early evening after a Show in the West End. We looked for an Indian restaurant within easy walking distance of Euston Station. This one fitted the bill perfectly. Not knowing of the reputation of any of the possibilities in the area, we chose Poppadoms because it is located within a well-known hotel. From the greeting received as we entered, to our departure several hours later, we felt warmly welcomed and comfortable. Though on arrival the restaurant was quite empty, it quickly filled. It is a lofty airy room with the tables well-spaced out, so other diners were not at all intrusive. As to our meals, our choices were all excellent, freshly prepared, beautifully served, and delicious. The portion sizes were extremely generous and fully satisfying. Our servers were helpful and efficient and speedy. On our next trip to London we shall definitely return. Thank you to all who made this good dining experience.

Good food served quickly. Menu not extensive but adequate even for a vegetarian! Prices very reasonable for London. Perfect for a pre concert meal. The only negative is that they served red wine left open from the day before both evenings. They need to invest in a Vacu Vin. It was changed without fuss but needs sorting.

Staying at the Tavistock hotel and just popped in for dinner not knowing what to expect. I was thrilled with the meal I had, it was utterly delicious and really authentic, and at a fantastic price (for anywhere, let alone central London).

Via een Groupon actie kwamen wij bij dit restaurant terecht (onderdeel van het Tavistock Hotel). We werden vriendelijk ontvangen en we vonden de hele service gastvrij. We hebben genoten van een heerlijk 2 gangen menu inclusief een glas wijn. Het eten was redelijk spicy en smaakte fantastisch. Bij het hoofdgerechten kregen we ook pappadum, rijst en Naan brood. En in de geboekte deal was dit zeker een aantrekkelijke arrangement. Wat ons betreft een volgende keer weer.

Lovely dinner for two at Pappadoms. I had the Kashmiri Rogan Josh, picy cubed lamb. We split a steamed rice and a naan bread. My lady had the Red Ruby Butter Chicken, equally excellent. The food was very good. The service was excellent and staff friendly. We are only in town for a few days, or I'd go back there again. I would definitely recommend Pappadom Indian Kitchen

Night out on a weekday for a 2 course meal with a drink on a Groupon deal. Restaurant was very spacious, but rather quiet. Enjoyed our starters of onion bhaji and chicken tikka,followed by vegetable kofta curry,Kashmiri rogan josh with rice,naans and poppadoms. Very tasty in all the dishes and good portions presented. Service friendly.

Lets be clear, this is not an Indian Kitchen or Restaurant, this is the breakfast buffet restaurant for the hotel, repurposed each evening. We had booked as advised due to expectations of this being really busy, which I have to say it wasnt. We arrived 30 mins early, and were seated quickly, which was not a problem at all. The menu was quite limited in its selection, with a lot of the classics from an Indian menu missing, but I suspect this is due to either the kitchen being taken over by another chef for the evening menu, or limited availability of cooking facilities. That being said, food was ordered and came pretty quickly. A peshwari naan, rice and saag aloo were shared, along with a main of Rogan Josh and Ruby Red Butter Chicken were good between the two of us, and was hot. All the dishes had a great flavour to them, and at a good price. We'd eat here again as its convenient for the hotel, but I dont think my expectations will be as high!

Saw this deal on Groupon. Read reviews and worth a punt whilst in London. Service was excellent, lovely friendly waiters & servers. Starters were exactly as described. I got the spicy fish. Mains I got the red ruby and husband got the rogan. Both were great. The ruby was excellent, hint of cream and perfect amount of spice. Steamed rice very good and 1/2 naan each. The meal was perfect, not too much and not too little. Felt they perfected the menu and it felt food was made with love. Definitely would make time for a visit when next in London.

Had a groupon voucher to use. 2 starters, 2 main, 2 beers, rice, Nan & poppadoms. Must say that even though the starter weren’t big, the flavours were great. We had onion bhajis & Chicken tikka. The 2 mains arrived with rice, Nan & poppadoms & 2 kingfishers. Our mains were, Red ruby butter chicken & Lamb Kashmiri Rogan Josh. We absolutely loved it all and were very impressed. The only thing I didn’t like was the extra 2?pints we ordered were £4.95 each and it came to £10.90 with the service charge. Just add that charge to the beer so we know what we are paying. Apart from that, everything was excellent and would definitely recommend a visit. Probably the best Indian food I’ve ever had.

Pedimos en línea a Ruchi y pedimos que nos trajeran la comida a las 7:45 pm, estaban en mi casa a las 6: 5 pm. . .Al hacer el pedido en línea, dije que pagaría en efectivo y que deberían traer el cambio, no lo hicieron.El tipo que vino a mi casa fue extremadamente grosero, primero mintió sobre el precio diciendo que era 27 cuando en realidad era 22 y cuando intenté pagar, como no tenía suficiente dinero, quería que yo regalara 5 libras solo Porque no tuvo suficiente cambio. . . Le dije que no había forma, se puso súper agresivo y le dije que debía llamar al restaurante y pagar con mi tarjeta porque no tenía que perder todo el día y literalmente se fue sin darme otra opción.Inmediatamente llamé al restaurante para contarles lo que pasó, esperando al menos una disculpa, pero nunca llegó. Querían que les diera la información de mi tarjeta sin ningún tipo de protección, así que, por supuesto, no lo hice y el chico también se enojó por esto.Es una pena porque he estado en Ruchi en persona y el servicio es realmente muy bueno y son amables. Aquí, era todo lo contrario e incluso si la comida era buena, NUNCA ordenaré de ellos nuevamente.

We watched them win on TV during Covid and for 3 years I waited til I was in London to try this burger. We stopped at their Camden location and got the chicken burger. It was definitely worth the wait! It was huge and juicy and just overall delicious! We will be back in London this summer and will be stopping by for more!
