Poppadom Express in Camden

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.

Great Indian food. Very reasonable price for London. Restaurant dining area is a bit like a cafeteria - super friendly staff and very efficient

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.

Amazing food, service and environment! Just a really great place to it at! The employees were so nice and barely any waiting time. We didn’t book before hand but we got an table anyway! Very nice food and people! Also reasonable pricing!

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).

I had lunch here and they offer set menus. Great choices especially from Punjab but also from other Indian states. Reasonably priced and superb poppadom

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.

En week end sur Londres, Super restaurant avec cuisine indienne , le poulet tres bien cuit et les cheeses nan sont excellent , l’accueil irréprochable, le cadre simple et moderne et les prix très abordables pour du restaurant indien avec des produits de qualités Belle surprise merci !!!

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.

The food and service were excellent. Our waiter Srisachen (I may be spelling it wrong, my apologies) did a great job explaining and recommending dishes. We were staying at the Tavistock Hotel and were worried it would be a typical hotel restaurant. Instead, it was...

Bought a meal for two off Groupon for me and my mum, very good deal, the staff were all very welcoming and really made us feel comfortable, food was absolutely amazing one of the best starters and Currys I have had in a long time!

I really enjoyed the restaurant and the food. Solo might not be the most ideal for this place, but it’s excellent for couples and friend groups. Would recommend!

The food is fantastic and good customer services led by Sanish. Thank you Sanish for accommodating my last-minute request for the table. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars if possible. I will visit again soon.

Le butter chicken et les naans cheese sont bon, le service est très bien, les prix sont corrects pour Londres...

The Butter Chicken was really great and among the better I've had. But honestly the restaurant feels more like a hotel breakfast restaurant. Also we had like 5 different waiters running around us acting a bit over-serviceminded and confused.

I was looked after by excellent team members and good quality was excellent Big shout out to Senthil for food Mr Sandesh ,Rinkil , vimal went out of their way to look after us and my team Thank you and I will return soon

The review is for the restaurant. We had a Groupon voucher for a 2 course Indian meal and a drink each. Although the menu was limited , the food was excellent and big portions. Staff really nice as was the restaurant. Staff in the bar...

Compliments to the chef, all of the food we tried was outstanding. I haven't had a meal in an Indian restaurant this good in a very long time. We tried some traditional Indian street food starters which were a real treat, and the vegetarian curries...

Delicious starters and main course. Together with all the trimmings (rice, poppadoms, etc.), we had one of our best Indian meals ever - and this is from people who extensively eat Indian! Very helpful service rounded out a great experience. Will definitely be coming here...

Was staying in the hotel and decided to eat in the restaurant, Had a excellent chicken curry rice was perfect well cooked and good flavours. Would recommend.

Being a hotel restaurant, the interior decorations are not particularly interesting. But the food (Indian cuisine) is very good, and the staff is very kind and attentive.

While hôtel restaurants are usually "middle of the road", we found Poppadum Express at Tavistock hotel really very good, créative taste, finely spiced, not too much nor top little. Présentation was fine, Price quite reasonable, staff very amicable and attentionate . We enjoyed our dinner....

We were supprised by this restaurant. What a great restaurant!! The food is delicious, the personel is very sweet and helpfull. They explained the menu to us. And the price/food is perfect. Worth every penny!!

Lovely venue. Food was very disappointing. Lack of choices and bland tastings of what was available. Naan bread was an extra £1.00???? Isn't that part of the Indian experience? Desert was chocolate cake or cold rice pudding. Had to ask them for cream as the...

As a restaurant in a hotel I was surprised that they offered such a well priced lunch time buffet and would certainly come here again given the value. On the Thursday we visited there were no other diners and even when we came to leave...

We ate on a Friday night around 8:00. At first, there weren't many people around. We were well received. All-you-can-eat Indian buffet, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, the naans were really dry... we didn't see the cheese. The rest was good. No desserts either,...

I arrived for the buffet. The member of staff was very unwelcoming and directed me to a table. As I sat down I noticed all my clothing became soaked wet through my trousers. I told her what had happened. She shrugged and offered no apology...

Poppadom Express, Indian Buffet Hotel, London, U.K. :- We have taken lunch in this hotel during our tour in London 4th and 5th November 2019. This hotel is very famous as a Buffet restaurant for Indian chicken, lamb, fish and vegetarian dishes, plus a bar...

Included in our weekend at the Tavistock. Great food buffet style. Plenty of choice and good atmosphere.

Meant to be an indian buffet??? No starters , no onion chutney to accompany poppadoms. Two choices of chicken curry. Tikka masala which tasted like a microwave dish. Chicken tikka which was drier than the sahara. One lamb curry which was actually edible if you...

My husband and I were staying nearby and were looking for an Indian meal. I read the reviews for this restaurant and overall they seemed acceptable so we thought we'd give it a try. BIG MISTAKE. The onion bhajis were soggy, the naan bread was...

I do apologize, years ago was a good experience now is not what used to be . How can someone do a buffet without any fruit ?? Exactly no broccoli and not even a apple , so seems to be like a tourist spot and...

We had lunch here. The food was genuinely Indian and tasted great. The buffet had good spread. Would definitely like to visit again.

Highly anglicized version of Indian food with easy forgettable taste. I think folks just go here for the price. The seekh kabab was dry, nothing was even mildly spicy and the lemon tart was just bad. Only saving grace was the Chicken Korma which is...

Only 2 vegetarian main dishes but 4 non-vegetarian mains. Also vegetarian dishes were not tasty. But good choice for non-vegetarians.

Wonderful Indian buffet. Great variety of dishes with something for everyone. Genuine, not British reproductions.

My mate and I are visiting from Australia and found the food delicious and the atmosphere sophisticated. We were definitely happy with the service, especially Yvan, who was very friendly and helpful!

This is a fantastic hidden gem of a buffet restaurant that is supervised by Suzanne and her friendly staff. The restaurant's staff are friendly and the service is efficient and professional. My friends are regularly pleased with the selection of Indian food and we would...

The food was good as well as the staff. Everything is fresh and the price is very good. I can recommend the buffet

Fantastic value for a central London hotel. Others can eat there a good basic range of starters , rice and curry dishes and a couple of deserts. A good place to eat for the budget conscious.

In the U.S. when a restaurant is not yet open, the doors are locked, and so if the doors are unlocked, I think that I am welcome to come in, even if it is a few minutes early. My friends and I decided to try...

We were staying at the Tavistock Hotel and were given free dinners in the Poppadom Express. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the curries. They were maybe not spicy enough but were tasty, with balanced flavours. I had to restrain myself from having...

Little choise, noisy place, poorly trained staff, dull atmosphere. There is not much more to say about this place.

Got dinner here as a deal from one of the local hotels. The restaurant and staff were awful. Badly prepared, zero taste, cold food. I can find noting good to say about it other than it was free. The place seemed entirely unencumbered by anything...

Overall: will visit again, very tasty, relatively cheap for buffet (£8 per customer), very nice atmosphere, possible to pay by card. Food: I tasted everything available and almost everything was very very tasty. (rice, lentil sauce, lamb, chicken tikka, grilled eggplant with potatoes, salads, chutneys,...

I checked to see what meals were available at the buffet as it does vary from night to night. On the night I visited there were no hot curries available but a selection of mild to medium chicken, lamb, prawn and vegetarian options. Only one...

This place just to be much better when in the original location and even before the refurbishment. The new decor is nice but it doesn’t take away from awful service. Took 20 minutes for the staff to stop chatting by the till and offer me...
