The food tastes excellent, incredibly tasty, very nice, very good quality when it comes to eating EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT HERE

Very, very tasty food, super friendly staff, simply top top top 10/10👍🏻🤍

Went with a group of 9 on my colleagues recommendation. Everyone’s food was delicious. A number of my colleagues often come here when staying in London and I can see why.

Do not think of dining here if you are Indian, The food is what we can worst quality in india. Order arrives late, you will be charged for popadoms and chutney you din order. Worst thing was wine, how can someone serve that cheap wine in a restaurant.

Very tasty! Highly recommend the Manchuria Chicken!

Very delicious meal. We usually order takeaway but on this occasion we decided to eat in and we were extremely happy with the food, as always, and by the very friendly and accommodating staff

Best Indian restaurants, i have been visited. Their chef special dish, specially haryali lamb are very soft and tender, i loved it so much. Highly recommended.

Really good food and nice staff

Me han visitado ayer con mis amigos para cenar en chile rojo. Pedimos su plato especial que fue recomendado y nos encantó la comida. Sin duda volveré de nuevo. Los mejores restaurantes indios que he visitado.

Food absolutely rubbish spoke to owner on phone just hung up. Please don't use this restaurant . Lamb chops shocking main course was like it was from Italy and it was not hot plus owner was rude

Me and my partner had a lovely meal here recently. We and popadoms and two mains with garlic bread. The food was delicious and it was very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

My partner and I have come on vacation to London for five days and four nights. Three of the four nights we have dinner here. We liked it so much the first day and we had it so close to the hostel that it was the most comfortable. The waiters were wonderful, very friendly, kind and we even established very fruitful conversations. Without a doubt, if we return to London we will come to visit them again. Thank you very much for the deal. Carlota from Mallorca 💕 My partner and I came on vacation to London for five days and four nights. Three of the four nights we had dinner here.

Fantastic food and great service. The waiter made a number of suggestions of things to try, talked me round from my original order and arranged for the food to be prepared to my taste. When it arrived it was amazing. Strongly recommend

We arrived very late for dinner and luckily this place is open until 11:30pm. We received great advice, the service was very, very friendly and the food was really delicious!

We had a fantastic meal here, was so tasty and great flavours, meat was exceptionally tender, I would highly recommend. Best Indian we have had in a long time. Staff were friendly, efficient and very helpful

We had a very enjoyable evening, lovely food and very friendly and helpful staff. The waiter was keen to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted, adapting the menu choices to suit our specific requirements.

Lovely food and lovely staff , would highly recommend. Abdula was amazing and made us feel very well looked after

Delicious Aloo Gobi, nice atmosphere, and great service by Abdullah.

This was the best Butter Chicken I’ve ever had, and Abdullah was a very helpful waiter.

Thanks for everything we had a very good dinner!!

The food was good but the service was slower than average considering that there were only a couple other customers when we came in at about 6pm. The Bailey's shots were a nice touchat the end

Went here for dinner last night and was the best food and service i have had here in my stay in london! i recommend!! the staff were very nice

Excellent food in smart surroundings. A friendly professional team.

Been to this place more times than I can count, and every time it’s absolutely great! Authentic indian food, diverse menu, great service, everything is just great! Definitely worth a visit

Unfortunately everything is a little average. It was okay, but I wouldn't recommend the restaurant.

La nourriture est fraîche, extrêmement bien cuisinée. Un régal ! Et le personnel est charmant et professionnel. Une merveilleuse soirée avec ma petite-fille !

Das Ambiente im Restaurant ist ganz nett. Der Service war gut. Man hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert und wie auch schon andere geschrieben haben fragt gerne mal der Chef selbst ob alles passt. Das Essen war zwar gut aber generell sehr süß. Wir hatten beispielsweise Chicken Korma, welches für mich jedoch eher als Nachtisch durchgegangen wäre, weil es so süß war. Meine Schwiegermutter die es bestellt hat war aber zufrieden. Ich hatte Chili Paneer, welches zwar scharf war aber wo sonst etwas der Pepp gefehlt hat. Das Garlic Naan war für mein Verständnis auch viel zu süß. Gesamt war es gut für jemanden der gerne süß indisch isst.

Last minute booking for table of 10. Food was excellent and the service was excellent. Great value as well. Highly recommended.

🚨HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED Very disappointing experience. The food tasted terrible and didn’t look fresh at all. There were items on my plate that I didn’t even order, which felt like they were added forcefully. The rice was only half-cooked, making it hard to eat and definitely not worth the price. Overall, I feel like my money was completely wasted. Not planning to return.When I told them they started making lame excuses and were laughing in the kitchen. Advice to the management ,the guy who was serving food should behave properly with the customers . When a person asked question,he started laughing as if a person asked a silly question. It is because of customers your restaurant is running. I will not recommend this to anyone.

Really slow slightly rude service. Food was okay. Charged 4 pounds for rice.

It’s amazing very good food and atmospheare. Will defenetly visit again

Great value, high quality, Indian restaurant.

The only Indian thing about this place is the hindi songs. I have never eaten oil fried prantha. Vegetarian food was horrible..

Great restaurant with Indian specialties... It was our first time in an Indian restaurant. The staff was very attentive and gave us great support in choosing the food. And what can you say? ☆☆☆☆☆ If you would like to try your hand at Indian cuisine, this is a great place for you.

Please dont come on pretext of indian vegetarian restaurant. Too much color in dishes. Not at all tasty and very slow service..

Amazing food and reasonably priced.

Pakistani not Indian Islam not Hindu Coriander not salt seasoned Judgemental service not helpful

The waiter who takes your order is friendly and the curry is really delicious. There are plenty of seats for two, so you don't have to worry about going alone. If the price is this high, it seems like a good place to be in London... You must try curry in London!!

Went on a whim on Saturday and very nice indeed. Quality establishment, busy but not rowdy. Food and service excellent. Knocks anything on Brick Lane into complete submission. Recommended. One starter, 2 mains, rice and naan + 3 large bottles of Cobra £53 including service charge so decent value for money for the area too.

It was really.very tasty food, very polite service. Very friendly people!! Some special Indian recipies only in this restaurant. Relax atmosphere!

Delicious food and wonderful staff who serve the food and make our dinner smooth💕🥰

Friendly helpful service, tasty meals well presented, nice clean decor easily assessable by Tower Hill Station London.

Very tasty and fresh. Hosts are very friendly. I can recommend it at any time. 👏

Very tasty food. Hosts were extremely friendly. Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.

We came here on a Sunday evening without booking and there was only one other party dining Food and service is good . Been here a couple of time and is more popular on a weekend evening.

Was fairly empty which was nice but filled up as we had our meal. Great food and service.

Coming to eat by chance, I couldn't have been more satisfied with the welcome, the service and the sumptuous quality of the dishes. The tandoori chicken was divine. The best Indian I have had the opportunity to try. I highly recommend.

Fabulous curry, fresh and authentic. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great value too. A++

We were drawn to this restaurant due to the interior decor, and it did not disappoint. Inside, there is a large Portuguese oil painting (with a great backstory), as well as a vintage portrait of Queen Elizabeth and a couple of antique Indian swords. The food is as amazing as the ambience—with a really artful, high-end presentation. My husband loves the lamb shank, and I keep going back for the garlic chilli paneer, as it’s really flavourful and fresh-tasting. The owner always makes us feel right at home; though he has been in this business a long time, his passion for it remains very obvious. His wait staff is also very friendly and helpful. That’s why this place has become our new favourite curry spot 🥰

Probably the best curry I've ever had (and I've had a few!). Utterly delicious. Attentive staff, reasonably priced, relaxed atmosphere. Just great!

Very nice place, top service, very kind staff and the meal was excellent. Thank you for this discovery. I recommend 100%

The food was delicious yet some had spice levels too high for me. Our food however came out of the kitchen an hour late and had raw chicken. The staff at this establishment were kind but not enough to outweigh serving raw chicken.

Ordered food. Not happy with the quality and taste.!! Chicken biryani is full of tomatoes,spicy chana is absolutely blend , and all naans are sweet !!

Had a fantastic meal here whilst staying at the nearby Premier Inn. The staff were very attentive and the portions were extremely generous. All 3 meals were fabulous, one of the best curries we've ever had (and we've had alot). Would definitely return when we're next in London.

Everything great. Highly recommended. Great selection at really fair prices! The food was very good and the ambience too. Service attentive and quick. Everything perfect! Absolute recommendation.

The food was really nice. I have zero complaints. Would definitely go back there again.

Food was ok, service was awful. Having to wait one hour for the food when the place was literally empty . Go somewhere else t

Great dining experience! Excellent cuisine. Warm welcome and pleasant atmosphere. Well-located restaurant. Late opening. Thank you very much!

Food pretty boring, almost no spices. I have rarely eaten worse Indian food.

Ordered chicken tikka biryani.. absolute disappointment! Lacks flavour and taste More like veg pulao with some chicken pieces in between

Warm, friendly welcome on arrival. Good menu choice and happy to deviate from the options and Attentive to allergies. All enjoyed our food in a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Will return if staying in the area.

We were searching for Indian food and here we got excellent food which was neither spicy nor hot . In fact , it was made as per our specification .

Went there based on a recommendation and we really enjoyed the food and Service! Wilö def come back :)

Such a classic good curry house, plenty of vegetarian options, great service and amazing food! Good for any group size; families or couples!

Great Indian.. found by accident and what a treat.. lovely food and staff were great

This was a spontaneous decision as we were walking by. And we were delighted that we did. Our last Indian food experience only a few days earlier was with a Michelin awarded chef’s restaurant so it was going to be difficult to live up to that recency. But this place is punching above its price bracket so we have given 5 stars as everything was delicious but just some feedback for improvements: The mango lassi could be slightly less sweet. The chicken tikka starter was excellent, the prawn puree was nice but the puree (fried bread) part slightly too oily. I’m probably nit picking though. The peshwari naan was one of the nicest we have ever had but the paratha was a little dryer than we have had. The biryani was slightly under seasoned but otherwise excellent. The chicken Manchuria dish was a good recommendation from the staff. This may become our new regular Indian.

The restaurant is spacious and bright, the food tastes good, and the service staff are also very friendly. But you are very close to the guests sitting next to you, and you can hear their chatter. It would be better if the tables were further apart.

Cuisine excellente! Particulièrement le dal Tarka et les nans! Nous avons trouvé le Personnel adorable! Nous recommandons vivement.

Really quick service and lovely staff. The food was unbelievable, would definitely recommend for anyone who's looking at going! Very well priced too.

Amazing food for such a very less price god bless them Please everyone go visit n enjoy

Probably the best Indian cuisine I‘ve ever had. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful with finding the right foods. The price was reasonable and very justified for the amounts of effort they put in to make the foods, which were all fresh out of the clay oven. They managed to put an incredible twist on some traditional Indian dishes and represent others in just the right way. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who is in London or wants to try some Indian cuisine!

Came in on a whim and honestly can’t fault the venue, the food was amazing, beautifully spiced and presented. The staff were beyond helpful and kind. I would be going back

I booked for a large group, we arrived on time, and they'd given the table away! However, they did send a waiter to the pub next door to collect us when it was available again, so a star off and a star back on again for service. The menu is what you'd expect at an Indian restaurant, and the prices are standard to reasonable. The food is nice and the atmosphere good. Its a curry house, but a really decent curry house. Come here for a curry, you won't regret it.

Visited twice on recent trip. Garlic Chilli chicken and Chicken Rhogan Josh on another visit. Great food and friendly staff would certainly recommend 🙏

I know a lot of bad reviews are just written off as one offs, but let me tell you this is not. The food at this restaurant should be avoided at all costs. The butter chicken can only be described as pumpkin soup with chunks of chicken. The daal tasted burnt and was inedible. I couldn’t even taste a difference between the garlic and regular naan. All in all terrible experience. Would not recommend.

Was a really nice authntic Indian food. Would recommend any time try even the Hair of thr Cook tasted fine

Eating is not good, the toilets apriciate the food.

arrogant customer service. never go to such place who speak to the customer raising his voice. charging service charge for nothing. not even worth food. to escape this they have printed on their front menu to avoid informing customers before they eat.

Great Indian down Leman Street. And we've been again. Every month is a blessing for tasty food that never departs from a high standard. Mixed seafood curry is so tasty, as is all the food here. Never been disappointed with the food here. And still the same with attentive staff and a very clean environment. Welcoming and tasty for the individual, small or large parties. As an update I can add no more than to say this Indian is of the highest standard. Top Drawer!! And still is again!!

I don't enjoy leaving a bad review, but unfortunately this was not a good curry. No real flavour and all ingredients tasted poor quality. If an animal is killed for people to eat, we should show our respect by cooking its meat with skill and attention.

Beautiful food in a lovely restaurant. Staff went above and beyond. So thanks for that.

The staff here were very attentive and were quick to make suggestions. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxed but upscale. The butter chicken was different than what I am used to, and had a lot of coconut in it. I would suggest cranking up the heat level, but overall especially for the cost, very well worth it.

Food is very bland. Not just lack of spice, but also flavour. If you order poppadoms, they’ll charge you extra for sauces. Service is quite slow, staff don’t seem to pay attention much.

Was as nice a curry as I have had in a long while. Top marks.

What a little gem. Lovely little restaurant, great food and wonderful staff, best Indian meal I've had for a long time. Visited for the third time, standards are still the same food still amazing well done team.

Really nice food, kind stuff, fair prices

Great food and service. A lovely range of spice and heat in seafood, mest and vegetarian. Fluffy Poppadoms and pilau rice too! Fab!

Good service good atmosphere but average food.

Food was sweeter than I anticipated but it was delicious

Gorgeous place with clean restaurant and amazing food . A big thank to Hussein that took our order on Thursday evening and looked after us kindly . Best dial în my opinion is the lamb ribs . Thank you

This place its a hidden gem.. I'm from Chicago and everyone told me the UK has the best Indian cuisine.. and let me tell you. This place does.. staff I friendly. The manager or owner I don't know who he was. But he came out to greet me. It was a very nice touch. The food is excellent. The place is just warm and cozy. Thanks for the excellent service and food

Friendly staff, excellent food (papadam, plain nan, Naga chicken, lassi, raita). Highly recommended!

Delicious food and very attentive wait staff, highly recommend this place!

The reason I rate this restaurant five stars is, firstly ,because of Mr. Khaled and his great hospitality . Secondly, the food is very delicious and had a special taste. Finally, I especially thank Mr. Khaled and all the staff of this restaurant for their wonderful smiles and excellent service. 👏🏻✨

One of the best places to have an authentic curry. We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. Great menu and my chicken shashlik is the best I’ve come across anywhere. Great service and a shout out to Zita who was delightful and easy to speak to. And the two brothers who runs and owns the restaurant are always very welcoming. And the on the house Baileys afterwards is always a nice way to finish an evening.

Wow what a gem and wow wow wow the food was incredible 😋 such a nice team too! You’d be crazy not to try this place😊 If you’re craving Indian food or just need a decent bite to eat then head here!!!

It’s very good restaurant to eat. The food was great and so taste, I think It's good place to spending time with family and friend by having food.

I visited with my friend on his birthday, firstly food was amazing, all credit goes to chef - spice level on request, baby lamb ribs were tender. Only problem Bar tender was very rude but the manager was very nice person. we saw some flies in the restaurant cleaning could be done better.
