Red Koyla London in Richmond upon Thames

The place is all about delicious food. Chicken biryani is as juicy as it gets. (Just be sure to let the chef know about the spice levels) Everything on the menu is made flawless and Chef comes to check on every table personally. Starters highly recommended. Must dry place!!

Beautiful food and impeccable service, the presention and flavours were stunning. I will definitely visit again when I'm next in the area!

Really excellent cooking as ever. Fresh, light and delicious. I’m surprised that the isn’t a waiting list to get a table. Some of the best Indian food in London.

Red Koyla - buena comida Fantástica comida servida por un equipo maravilloso. ¡El chef está feliz de hacer su plato favorito en su menú, incluso si ya no está en el menú! No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Steve, Teddington

Excelente cocina india gourmet, buen ambiente, buena carta de vinos - recomendar los aperitivos y los platos principales y postres.

Super tasty and travels well! We had takeaway and it was great!

Took the family here for dinner as my son had his eye on this place and it did not disappoint. All the dishes we had were different and delicious. The best samosas I have ever had and the biryani was up there as well. Good service and our waitress was polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place.

Takeaway. Fantastic food, very tasty. Great choice for vegetarians. Loved the mushroom stuffed artichokes. Very sensitive service, phoned back to check re an allergy. Ordered from here again in September 2024 - food still fantastic. Service outstanding.

Amazing food, will definitely be back soon! can't beat some of their house specials. service was excellent and such a great vibe

Very quiet when we dined here so any ambience was lacking. The service was fine and our dahi puri starters were light, refreshing and tasty. The peshawari naan was also very good. However our mains were less good. Our chicken tikka masala was a small portion with some quite gristly pieces of chicken. Likewise, the hot and tangy prawns consisted mostly of sauce which didn't taste particularly good. Will probably not return.

Dinner was absolutely delicious! We were visiting from the states and this was our first dinner here and it blew us away.

Incredible Indian food, with English fusion.

Such a lovely quaint restaurant with non-Westernised dishes and very understated. I came here with friends and enjoyed a few dishes.

Very friendly & welcoming staff. Delicious meal and incredibly authentic. Masala (salty) lassi was just like India. The chef even shared some of his kitchen secrets with us! Highly recommended for a great Indian meal.

We hugely enjoyed another great meal at Red Koyla. Distinctive and delicious flavours in all our dishes, yet lighter and less oily than standard Indian fare in the Uk. Some different dishes, the menu is not too big which is usually a good sign. Definitely a cut above flavours. Price point for mains and sides is very reasonable and excellent relative to the high quality food. I would definitely eat there again.

Indian is my favorite food. I’ve eaten at hundreds of different Indian restaurants all over the world and I think this is the best Indian meal I’ve ever had! Not your typical British korma/rogan josh/madras/vindaloo menu but an innovative selection of dishes. Food was incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of heat (we did request the spice levels to be increased from the menu spice guide). Sad I don’t live closer to this place as all Indian meals in future will be compared to last nights meal.

We are fortunate to be so near a restaurant with such a gifted chef. His cooking is beyond criticism. The waiting staff are charming and efficient. Teddington has more than its fair share of of bland, overpriced 'Chains'. Red Koyla, Ryba, Piazza Firenze and Imperial China are the only restaurants in Teddington with any culinary integrity.

Tasty and innovative Indian cuisine. Well worth ordering a starter, they offer options ranging from rabbit to squid. There are also several good vegetable options. Takeaway is available.

Great food, love the flavours and freshness, really recommend, will definitely be back. Great place for lovely Sunday lunch.

Delicious fresh food, particularly enjoyed the spinach and onion baji. Friendly service. Will definitely be returning here.

We love the food here. My son is so particular and the chef is so accommodating. We loved the lentil Dahl, chickpea dish, the salmon and the chicken tikka. Then as a surprise they presented my husband with a complimentary cake and it was so sweet. We had a lovely time.

Came here with my family for a father's day meal and the food was absolutely perfect! My dad is a fussy eater and on the way to the restaurant he proclaimed that he didn't like Indian food but by the end of the meal he was calling the chef from out of the kitchen to get into our family photo! Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned perfectly, this is not your typical curry house. My personal favourites were the calamari and prawn starters, for my main I had a spicy chicken curry (sorry, I forget the name), it had 3 chillies next to it on the menu but me being African asked to make it extra spicy because I didn't believe it would truly be. I was told that they serve it as is because they didn't want to ruin the flavour but I was not disappointed at all as it really was a spicy as it promised to be. Would definitely come back again!

We have travelled extensively in India and have struggled to fins a local restaurant that serves proper Indian food. This is it ! Beautifully flavoured and cooked to perfection. If you are looking for a 'curry house' with an extensive. anglicised menu this probably isn't for you. If you value a smaller menu, with high quality ingredients cooked in an authenric manner you will love this place. We couldn't fault it. Excellent value for money and excellent food.

Great food- slightly different options on menu to your more traditional local indian restaurant . . We chose a variety of starters to share rather than chosing off the main courses menu. All the starters we had were excellent , particularly enjoyed the soft shell crab . We had a delivery and can't comment on atmosphere of the restaurant itself . Delivery was fast and friendly .

Best among all Indian restaurants. Chef kureshi is very innovative. All the dishes are cooked fresh and have very delicate flavours. Their lamb chops and squid fry are worth ordering again and again. Will definitely try their other dishes.

Lovely Indian restaurant! Would heartily recommend to anyone in the area!

Really good, delicious food and friendly staff. Recommend the chicken biryani

Really enjoyed our evening here - absolutely delicious food, it's very much a cut above a "standard" Indian with some really innovative dishes. Cocktails looked good and a nice range of wine by the glass as well as the usual beers etc. Will definitely be back!

Excellent curry. Great mix of traditional and modern dishes. Good value for the quality of food and service.

The food here is incredible - lovely flavours, no curry tasted the same, breads were gorgeous. The service was efficient and friendly, and when we asked about a flavour in the chicken (Murgh Jalali - delicious!), the chef spoke to us passionately about the flavours and ingredients. Can’t wait to come back - highly recommend.

The food was very tasty, I am not a fan of Indian food and this restaurant surprised me pleasantly. Thank you for the lovely hospitality. The lasagna is excellent.

Really nice staff - chef came out to check on me - and totally enjoyable and original meal. Teddington is favoured to have this!

We have had several meals at Red Kolya and a few takeouts and have always been impressed by the high quality, interesting choices and excellent service. Well worth a visit.

The food at Red Koyla is an absolute delight. We had a family celebration last night and everyone thought the dishes were exceptional. Thanks to Chef and staff for their efforts. As far as recommending any one dish, that’s hard, as we enjoyed several different ones, but I think the dahi puri make a heavenly start.

Really inventive and delicious dishes. You could tell that they were individually cooked rather than served with a pre-prepared sauce. Excellent service and lovely atmosphere. As good as Indian cuisine gets for me. We will be back!

I had a delightful time at the restaurant – the Indian cuisine was exquisite and the staff were brilliant. I highly recommend.

Amazing lunch deal - we all had a delicious vegetarian Thali and really enjoyed it. Staff are lovely and so friendly. Will be a regular weekend lunch spot for us :)

Nice food but it’s very expensive and the portions are small (price per portion is also low). The lady gave us some wrong answers about the dishes which misled us - she said there were 4 pieces of chicken but there were 2. And a few other things. The head chef was very nice and came out to chat. The artichoke dish was nice and creative. Meat dishes were all good.

The chef came to greet us and have a chat which was really nice! The food is amazing and service very friendly. Highly recommended!

This is a really fabulous, small, local Indian restaurant that is not afraid to go its own way in delivering the UK's favourite meal out. And it really does not disappoint. We had a really lovely dinner - deep, fresh flavours, with a bit of spice served by a charming waiter and cooked by a chef who cared enough to come out from the kitchen to check that we had enjoyed it. Brilliant!

It was a lovely meal with great service, the food was tasty and authentic. would highly recommend f you are in the local area

Great food, service a bit slow at start but improved and nice to see the Chef and be able to give our compliments in person! Really enjoyed the evening

The flavours are always varied and interesting and the quality of the cooking and presentation of a very high standard.

Great food and good friendly service. The food was tasty and not too spicy. Had to to travel 5 mls to get there but well worth it. Well done.

Great food and amazing service from the staff. The chef speaks to the customers and everyone is smiling… that’s priceless.

Really enjoyed our evening. Top notch Indian food very nice presentation with great authentic flavours. Exceeded expectations - a real find and will definitely come again..

Really nice meal Lovely atmosphere Tasty food Service attentive Will return as great for meeting friends. Company good

We did the cooking class with Mohammed which was a brilliant experience. He was a great teacher, very generous when it came to sharing his knowledge and the meal at the end was delicious. Without doubt the best Indian restaurant in Teddington.

I came here for a cooking class and had a brilliant experience. Mohammed was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and I learned a lot. We cooked a range of dishes which were all delicious. We will be back!

The dishes were an adventure of delicious and fascinating flavours. The welcome was warm & charming, and gave us an educational insight into a world of gastronomy. Thank you so much, Chef Mohammed Qureshi & your team for having us as your guests and giving...

We took part in a cookery class with Mohammed for my sister's birthday - everything from start to finish was amazing!

Will definitely return very soon, and cannot wait to try more dishes - thank you Mohammed!

Recently hosted my daughter's 1st birthday party at Red Koyla, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The highlight of the celebration was undeniably the mouthwatering and authentic Indian food curated by the celebrated chef, Mr. Qureshi. His culinary expertise shone through in every dish, leaving our 20 guests thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Must commend the excellent hospitality provided by the staff at Red Koyla. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the comfort of every guest truly made the celebration memorable.

Red Koyla provided an exquisite dining experience with its great ambiance and authentic Indian cuisine. The Chicken Tikka and Falooda were unparalleled, earning rave reviews from both myself and our guests. Head Chef Mr. Qureshi and his staff showcased exceptional hospitality, ensuring a memorable evening. The perfect blend of a welcoming atmosphere, delectable dishes, and attentive service makes Red Koyla a standout choice. Highly recommended for those seeking an extraordinary culinary journey and impeccable hospitality.

Exceptional food and service. Would recommend to anyone. Great for vegetarian food. Staff very friendly.

Delicious and prompt home delivery from Red Koyla. We have also eaten in the restaurant several times and would thoroughly recommend it. Friendly and attentive staff and delicious food.

Really fantastic authentic food! Best one around here for the food. Best bhaji for your buck by far and the chef came to speak with us too, which was a nice touch, highly recommend!.

We've come here twice now. The first time was for a family meal on Christmas eve, the second just because we fancied it. On both occasions the service was great - staff were smiling and efficient. The food was really good with loads of combinations...

As always excellent food and service. The menu is different from the previous time we came and it did not disappoint. The talented and friendly chef came out to speak to the guests and to hear our feedback. If you haven't yet, you must come...

Nice food but the restaurant was a bit cold. Really welcoming staff and pleasant place overall. We all enjoyed it!

Simply amazing food. Delicate flavours, local ingredients beautifully presented by warm, friendly staff and a lovely chef and owner.

Excellent food - beatifully cooked and presented. The menu has enough variety for you to want to try something different, but also has some familiar dishes if you're not feeling adventurous. A good combination, and the menu is concise as well which is a big...

A person like me living in UK for last 6 years.. I am honestly saying that the food and services are wonderful...taste is very unique and mouthwatering.. The staff has been an amazing and friendly host as always.

This is true neighborhood gem. The modern take on this cuisine was outstanding with great care and detail to the sauces and flavor combinations. It is your loss if you do not try this place while in London. Truly.

Excellent food, and good choice of different dishes. Their delivery was very prompt and all the food was well presented and hot. I would highly recommend.

Wow wow wow! What a gem of a find this was. Absolutely delicious food and presentation, staff so so friendly and welcoming. Free on street parking too, which is a big bonus. Highly recommended ******

Best Indian food we’ve ever had! We’ve been in London since 2004, and we have never tasted Indian food this good!

Best Indian food ever tried! We love Indian cuisine and at this point are quite experienced… Amazing dinner. First quality ingredients, beautiful presentation and perfect size of portion for all courses. Well done Red Koyla!

The food was fabulous-really delicious & so tasty. We had a great variety of dishes from the menu & we all really enjoyed everything.

The food was very good, imaginative, interesting flavours and excellent ingredients, the chef came and said hello. There was some confusion as our starter arrived long before the rest of the party and one of the sides for our main dish arrived after we almost finished our mains, one memeber off the waiting team was a little inexperienced. It was a cold night and the venue was cold when we arrived. I will pop in again.

Friendly, welcoming service and the food is superb. Unassuming from the outside but a cut above most Indian restaurants. They even let my kids watch the chefs at work in the kitchen! Thoroughly recommend.

Have driven past this place and always been put off as it seemed quiet, but tried it today and OMG the food was amazing! More people need to go, it deserves to be packed at all times. I’m from Indian heritage so quiet fussy about...

An absolute gem of a restaurant, can't believe it's taken me so long to visit, having driven past it so many times. There is no shortage of Indian Restaurants in the Teddington, Twickenham, Hampton Wick area, however this is some of the best Indian Cuisine...

Superb ambience, great taste, great presentation of food and tidy, cool chef who came to say hi for a moment without interfering but making sure his customers were enjoying, superb instrumental music from Indian movies (soft music and hence we could keep talking as well...

Super food, tastiest baji I had ever had and the curry were well tasty, well spiced yet not overly so. Thank you 🙏

Amazing food flavours and friendly staff. We were staying at a local hotel and researched restaurants in the area, the restaurant was in walking distance and well worth the visit. We will definitely visit again.

An excellent and different menu of Indian food. It tastes fresh and luxurious. Service is prompt and polite. Chef is friendly and concerned for customers. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food, deserves to do well!

The food was absolutely amazing, some of the best Indian Food I have ever had.heir entire staff was so friendly and kind. The chef himself even came out and spoke with us - so kind and so talented. I highly recommend stopping here!

Amazing food! Very flavoursome. Not a grain of rice left. We had a takeaway. So delighted we have a fab Indian restaurant a couple of minutes away from us.

I just finished eating my order from Red Koyla and I have to say it’s the best Indian takeaway I’ve had that delivers to Surbiton. The food was excellent quality, with depth of flavour and distinct textures and ingredients (as opposed to generic ‘meat and sauce’ curries you get elsewhere) I had the Bhajia and Murgh Jalali with pilau rice, naan and cucumber pomegranate raita. All of them were excellent. Delivery time was reasonable for the day of week and distance, and ordering from the website was pretty straightforward. Prices were comparable to others in the area and so fine from my point of view. I also appreciated that the delivery person read my note on the order - often these notes with other places get ignored.

Probably best Indian restaurant in Teddington and twickenham area - taste is authentic with incredible really freshly prepared starters - compared to most restaurants where they are frozen. Curries are super delicious and the spice is perfect. They serve old monk rum which is the definition of authentic Indian . It’s easy to drive past this place but it’s worth entering for the amazing taste.

Super food with an imaginative menu. You could tell the ingredients were top quality. Service was friendly and the owner was a nice chap. Will definitely return. One the best in the area, no doubt.

Nice ambience. Good food. Courteous staff and owner. Try their seekh kabab and makhan chicken. Breads were good too.

Surprisingly high food quality! Looks rather annon from the outside and is likely more of a local takeaway place than somewhere I’d recommend for the ambiance, but the food is great and the service fast and knowledgable

As outstanding as ever. Delicious food and great service. I can’t recommend too highly. Try the lamb shank.

We came here on the recommendation of our daughter and it did not disappoint . Lovely food and good service. Will definitely be back!

Very nice place,good service and tasty food.will definitely be back. Thanks to all the team and keep up the good work

Lovely food with great flavours. Enjoyed trying some different dishes. We had a takeaway this time but will dine in soon. Lovely friendly staff.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. We will be back!

Fantastic meal. Authentic and high quality fine Indian dining experience with normal everyday pricing. Our whole family loved it. The service was great! See you again.

I absolutely love the fact that this restaurant is so close to where I live! The food is really fantastic and the choice is varied too. Delivery is also really friendly and quick too! I can’t recommend highly enough!

I will be speaking by my heart and by my stomach😊... I visited Red Koyla with family for dine in and I must say I am delighted. We ordered Dahi Poori, lamb kabab, chicken Jalali and Lamb Hyderabadi Qeema and few non alcoholic drinks. I was amazed to see how uniquely these items were decorated and presented. It was a 5 start way of food presentation but don’t let the appearances fool you. The aroma was also equally pleasant and taste was from another words. I have never experienced this quality of Indian food in London and across Europe. From appearance to texture, from aroma to taste, from friendly atmosphere to ambience, everything was superb. Prices are a bit surprising and I am damn sure one can not get this kind of lavish food at this efficient pricing. Totally totally less for five start quality of food. I was not only focusing on my food but was scanning other tables too and making my list of food for the next visit. I must say I have to come here again to taste so many other dishes like lamb chop and Biryani. Last but not the least I would like to thanks chef Mr Naseem and Manager Mr Rohan for such a nice hospitality. Keep it up this high standard Guys! 👍❤️

Tasty and well crafted Indian food with a blessedly short menu delivered with style. Not fancy but different and worth a visit. Dahl Puri is great but I suspect it's all good.

Great food and great service. I had the fish chettinad which was excellent.

Outstanding meal. First time visit having lived in area for over 30 years and we both thought it was the best Indian meal we have experienced in that time.

Delicious lunch.Did not arrive until after 2.00pm. Not rushed. Excellent service. Thouroughly recommended.a
