Ryath Halal Tandoori in City of London, Westminster

Awful experience - uses other customers to entice you in. No chance to read menu before suggesting what you should eat. Small portions - overpriced rip-off. Beer served in Cobra glass was flat and disgusting - £90 for 2 people

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!! Absolute scammer who hiked up the bill, charges what he feels like!! Food awful and feel terribly sick today! £110 for 3 beers, two curry’s and 2 naan bread! AVOID AVOID AVOID not even worth the one star

Food was excellent .good services .

A very special evening - a magical place where we could try an excellent food and experience a wonderful and kind atmosphere. Definitely we come back again. Please visit this special place in London, so close to the Paddington Station.

It's better to move on and not stop. The food was pretty tasty, but the whole experience is suddenly ruined when the “bill” arrives. Menu and reality are different worlds. Everything costs extra - rice, bread...! In addition, 1 pint is more like 0.25 ml, but in terms of price it is the “correct” one. Pint quantity - at least on the "bill". Sometimes the landlord was extremely pushy, but still somewhat acceptable. It's better to go somewhere else unless it doesn't matter what you pay. The 10 pound tip, which was also on the “bill”, was also a disgrace! It's a shame, such an experience on the first evening... once and not again!!!!!

Its price is considered expensive and the invoice is traditional and one is written by hand (check the invoice before paying)

Terrific 😱 The waiter told us what to order, didn’t let us order what kids wanted. Another waiter yelled to phone next to us things customers should not hear while eating. The old man (propably the owner?) stood right behind my son almost the whole time we ate. Akward. Food didn’t taste at all and bill was huge, far more than it was on the menu. Felt like we were fooled 😰

The quality of food was amazing! So delicious Biryani I had from this restaurant. And the service was mind blowing! Definitely recommend this restaurant for delicious food with heart touching service quality.

Delicious Indian food. Great service. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Don’t go there, everything pretty much ala carte, nothing was explained the older guy was very pushy, getting us to order. We 3 girls were the first ones on the empty restaurant a couple and 2 individual men all got served before us, we had to ask several times for our food. He was eating behind the counter while servicing his customers and talking on his cell phone most of the time, our bill was shocking for a nasty joke in the wall. Very disappointing.

Pathetic food. Tandoori Roti shaped like Poori, haven’t eaten such tasteless rotis before. Quantity of portions very very less. Price on rate card and actual billing is 30% higher. Handwritten Invoice, no digital invoice available when asked for. A vegetarian dinner of 2 people costed us 65 Pounds that’s insane in London where 2 can easily eat in 35 pounds.

Best Indian cuisine in central London. Mr. Ibad is very humble and polite which gives the food an extra flavour to enjoy. A must visit and a must try place!

Thank you for your great service🙏🏻

I would review this Resturant 0 if I had the chance not 1 . No no no never again ! The food tastes evil as the owner (Time to retire! )Clean your heart Sir ! The worst Resturant I been to in my whole life . Should be shut down ! Also to top it very very rude service and over charged !

Nice people , you have to talk in indian-english , very funny for German people

Don't go to this restaurant. You will regret if you enter, guaranteed.

I came here a while ago and it was the best food i’ve ever eaten. i’m not from london but if i was then i would go here alot more. Food was 10/10

It is forbidden to pay attention to him. The first time we entered, he was greeted well and we ordered nothing. Very normal food. When ordering, the price was cheap. After we asked for the bill, the price was double. May God not forgive him. It is forbidden to pay attention to him. The first time we entered, he was greeted well and we ordered nothing.

warning Bad and dishonest They manipulate prices And they take advantage of tourists Warning Bad and dishonest They manipulate prices And exploit tourists

This is a great Indian restaurant. They cook the meal as you order it, so it is guaranteed fresh. The taste is superb, and the owner is charming.

Loved the vibe and the food! Proprietor really assisted us.

Hidden gem! This small Indian restaurant in London serves incredibly authentic thali. The flavors are rich, vibrant, and true to tradition, with every bite bursting with freshness. The warm, cozy ambiance adds to the experience. Perfect for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine. More over the owner was really friendly. Highly recommended!

We just had dinner here. It was very delicious and the service was amazing. Felt like a small town restaurant vibe while being in the middle of London. Highly recommend!!!

Very good food and friendly service!

I have ordered through phone and went for collection for Biriyani and it was good. Ordered again for my friends the same as they liked it. Biriyani was tasty and quite good quantity as well.

IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH AND HAVE SELF-RESPECT, PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE! WORST PLACE EVER TO EXIST. AS A BENGALI I AM EMBARRASSED! WORSE THAN WHAT YOU FEED PEOPLE IN JAIL. Don’t be like me and start reading the reviews only after experiencing bad service or while waiting for your food. That's when you'll realize how bad it really is… The food was disgusting and probably the worst I’ve ever had. The butter chicken and rice tasted like they were microwaved and reheated. I can’t agree more with the 1.9-star rating and the reviews. 1. They tried to overcharge me, and hid the menu. 2. I booked through The Fork, an app that gives 50% off the bill. When it came to paying, they tried to change it to 40%. 3. The service charge was nearly 20%, which is extortionate (who do they think they are, a 5* Michelin restaurant?). 4. He yelled at me for not wanting to pay the service charge. 5. I could hear him yelling on the phone in Bengali that he hadn’t made enough money that day. 6. The food was microwaved or tasted like it. 7. He told me to pay the service charge in full or leave immediately. 8. He told me to “Shhhh” so the other customers wouldn’t hear that I booked for 50% off. Absolutely no customer service, just money-hungry thieves. Bengali: "tom-rah Soor o-kohol" Absolutely disgusting. And yes, they do make weird comments while serving and sweet-talk you, only to serve you with that 20% service charge. DO NOT COME HERE. PLEASE I BEG YOU.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Sunsex, London!!!! thank you to Mr.Ebaad. Such a humble person

Absolutely awful service and a very grubby place! Ordered lobster curry and received king prawns sliced in half. I said I had ordered lobster and the waiter told me they were little lobsters and walked off! They were prawn!! I didn’t have a cloth napkin so took one from an empty table. The waiter told me to put it back as it had been on the table (in a decorative way) for months and hadn’t been washed. I was given paper napkins akin to MacDonalds napkins. Apart from the “lobster” curry we had 1 rice, 1 chickpea curry, 2 roti’s, 1 naan, 4 very burnt and greasy papadoms and 2 glasses of wine. It was all very unpalatable so I asked for the bill and was given a scrap of paper from a notebook with £73.05 written on it! I was so cross and wanted to leave I stupidly paid!! Do not let the online photos fool you!!

6th July, it was late had a take out of tikka masala & rice for one. Food was cold & congealed. My biggest mistake was he took my card for payment and could not give me a receipt (machine he said was not working) on checking my app when we got back to the hotel I was charged £67.47 for this rubbish. I have no redress with my CC because I have no receipt .SO PLEASE BE AWARE NOT TO LET THE OWNER WALK AWAY WITH ANY CARDS. YOU WILL BE GROSSLY OVERCHARGED. Definitely cannot be trusted.

Great curry, really good service and top leavel food. If you are anywhere near have to stop by!!!

It was the worst meal ever! Too spicy, little lamb in the meal, and too expensive!! We were 3 people, ate only one dish each and paid 140 pounds!! Don’t ever think of going this place.. Edit: omg! his answer to my comment?? I just laugh at that

Worst Indian food ever. It was neither fresh nor the consistency of the food was normal. It tasted too sweet, more like a sweet desert. It's pretty much a sc4m...

pretty bad experience. i paid 60£ for one of the best foods in london but paid 130£ for one of the most disgusting foods in london(being this place) . i would rather eat rat cooked with piss than eating this places food.

The owner is a complete thief. They are so dishonest that they even charge for food, which is often served without payment. Food was also burned. I am ashamed to pay money to such disgraceful people.

Be careful, they bring things you didn't order to the table and then ask for money.

It seems like a sweet restaurant at first but trust me, it is not. The food is not good. It is overpriced. They act kind towards you to get your trust. A literal trap. Never go.

Food was bland. Asked for chicken tikka masala and was told it's sweet. The chicken balti was better just so he could charge more. It had no taste. Breyani was terrible .

Poor quality food not fresh reheated and not taste very bland.lassi is like water down yoghurt.like to add stuff and then charges you.writes bill on scrap paper .wouldn't recommend this place.

Stale food, tasted like it had been sitting out for a couple of nights then microwaved. Receipt was completely inconsistent. Prices were made up, didn't match the menu, and the calculations weren't even correct.

Great food. Fantastic service. Highly recommend this authentic Indian cuisine.

Nice staff, nice ambience and of course nice food with variety of Indian food option

Lovely dinner and good bhajis would come again xxx

The restaurant was very bad. The food had no taste, and it had clearly been prepared a long time ago and just reheated. The area where they prepare food downstairs in the lobby is very disgusting, unusable, and polluted. When it came time to discuss payment, the staff member raised his voice, and his attitude changed completely from how he acted initially. The prices are very exaggerated, and it is not worth visiting at all. It is a waste to pay any amount of money for it. This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to in England.

Rip off place, smells horrible. Avoid.

SCAM/FOOD POISONING The food tasted like it had been reheated out of the fridge. My boyfriend found two bones in his food. The owner didn’t provide us a receipt. Our bill seemed way too high upon reflection so we went back to inquire. The owner added our meal up on a hand made receipt. He had upsold on everything (for instance onion bhaji listed on the menu as 3 pound 95, he charged us for 4 of them.) Also charged for 4 popodoms AND the sauce separately.. we had assumed that the sauce came included in the price of popodoms as we never requested any sauce to begin with. Other shady upsells sky rocketed our bill. My boyfriend came down with awful food poisoning. He had eaten a butter chicken, while I am vegetarian. I went back to advise the owner of this so that he can look into the issue and nobody else will get ill. He brushed me off and said “never with my food.” Save yourself, don’t go.

AVOID. Food is not nice, barely edible. Better off eating a sandwich. Extremely overpriced for the service. Pushy assistant so end up ordering substandard food that is not good. Dirty plates.

The food quality was below average. The lamb curry was sweet, mixed grill platter just had 3 pieces in total, naan was like tandoori roti with no butter while we were charged for the butter. Quantity was very small.

I had diarrhea. Next day I could not go to work and was very ill.

The flavor is very good and I enjoy

Best Indian food I have ever tested in Paddington.

One star is too many!!! Absolute worst indian restaurant ever not exaggerating!! Place should be shut down. Owner is a scam artist and food isn’t fit for human consumption. Extreme food poisining suffered from eating here, please stay away at all costs.

A scam! They will offer you "some rice", which goes with the the dish according to menu, but won't tell you they will charge extra for it. And so on with all the items. The charge will be the double from what's ok the menu. The one star reviews are all correct. No wonder the restaurant is empty. I didn't look up the reviews before going in. Don't make this mistake!

At the door you are immediately spoken to when studying the menu. When asked whether rice was included (as in Germany), it was confirmed that it was - without pointing out that this is only really the case for very few dishes. The main thing is to lure the guest in so that he can then really be taken advantage of. What looks like kindness turns out to be method. That's why the front door is constantly open, which can quickly become uncomfortably cool when eating in the evenings. Given the small portions, at least the food can't get really cold - the plates are empty quickly. We ordered - two adults, three children. Two small children wanted to share a dish - there are no children's portions. That was at least accepted. The portions are very clear. Very little meat (3 small pieces of chicken) - lots of sauce. For vegetarian vegetables, only onions and white cabbage - the cheapest and even in manageable quantities. Two peas tried to give it some color. A drink glass (Fanta for one of the children) was dirty. The Cola lettering, which was also embossed on the inside, was brown in some places. According to the waiter, this was supposed to be “color.” The only strange thing was that other similar glasses had no “color” and some of the dirt could be wiped off with a napkin. The idea of ​​replacing the glass is beyond the staff's control and would not be offered. Just disgusting. The food is prepared in the basement. This is the case in most small restaurants in the area. But here I feel insecure about how things are going down there. On the bill there were three pieces of rice at around 4 pounds each (a leveled flat metal plate full - a ridiculous portion of a few grams) and three pieces of naan for the same price. We ordered once. Somehow a casual query “three” came up. Only half emphasized as a question. We thought a portion was three pieces of Nach (a basket full) - but the cellar's advice was not an explanation of the portion but rather a tripling of the order. People here are skilled at forcing more than they originally ordered into the haste. That was probably a mistake. Here you are starving at high prices. Every now and then we try to get more rice and bread by casually asking. Caution. Things quickly become very expensive here and promises made (rice included) are not kept. The lady who paid in front of us was also very surprised when she presented the bill before she paid with her cell phone in exasperation. At the end there were 84 pounds on the EC device and a piece of paper with a handwritten addition was next to it. A lot of money for an underground performance. Worst Indian we've had in Europe so far. And we like to eat Indian food. Quality is mediocre at best, cleanliness is poor and the price is tricky and high. Hands off. There are plenty of other places here. The little Egyptian "Cleopatra" towards Paddington Station was surprisingly good and highly recommended, very good value for money. Or if it has to be Indian "The Mughal" - expensive but good quality. Both restaurants - and this is important - friendly and honest.

Disgusting, disappointing and terrible. Please don’t order! Terrible!! Thanks for replying back to my review. Now you’re a liar as I have proof. I would never need to step foot in your filthy restaurant as I ordered via just eat. Please don’t eat from here!!!

Ordered 3 mixed grills and few other items. But it was disgusting I would NEVER order from this place. Had a hair in the kebabs that came in the mixed grills.

Amazing food and very friendly staff. We had a dinner with my family. They helped us to choose our meal and it was outstanding. Chicken Shatkora was my favorite one. I will come back again

What a horrific experience. Honestly this restaurant should be reported to the police. Firstly, this is not a genuine Indian restaurant. It is a Bangladeshi restaurant masquerading as Indian. (Quick tip: Whenever you see "Motor" Ponir or "Motor" Paneer on the Menu at any Indian restaurant, turn around and run away without looking back). I bought 4 dishes, and not one of them was edible. I had to throw all of it away when I reached home. I can't believe I fell for these criminals. The food is third class, looks and tastes like made from some sewage water. The breads are half-cooked. Their main strategy is to prey on either drunk people passing by who are looking for late dinner and can't make proper decisions. OR, they prey on Non-Indian people who probably do not know what Indian food tastes like. In either case, they work like a Venus-fly-trap, sweet-talking passers-by to come inside and try their food at reasonable prices. The main waiter identifies who is the person going to pay for the group, and then sweet-talks him by saying things like "young-guy", "handsome-man" etc and suggests them exorbitantly priced garbage main-courses to create a big fat bill in the end of the meal which the person then feels shy to challenge or ask for the calculation. During the 20 minutes I spent at the restaurant waiting for my order, on the night of 12th April, and saw how masterfully the manager sweet-talked people from the street to come inside the restaurant to try food, cherry-picking gullible drunk people, and how at the time of deciding what to order he suggested them to order the most expensive and large meals to eat. To top it all, the food prepared is simply garbage. All the bills given are hand-written and fake. Which means they are not paying any of the taxes they are collecting from you. Ask for computerised invoice for the food

Very good food and good service I will always come back with family and friends

Just don’t go there It’s a mistake of believing that the manager is a nice person The menu is not clear No rice no naan included while the manager invites you wit “ good food and good price” Miserable mistake No transparency No napkins None And we waited about 80 minutes for the starters

I would strongly advise against visiting this restaurant. Despite the inviting signboard, the experience was anything but pleasant. The food we ordered was extremely disappointing; it lacked flavor and tasted like something we could have prepared better at home. Additionally, the service was abysmal. The staff seemed disinterested and unattentive, making our dining experience even more frustrating. To top it off, the prices were exorbitantly high for the subpar quality of both food and service. Save your money and find a better dining option elsewhere.

Pls pls pls avoid this place It was such a disaster that we tried the food.Quantity and quality both were very cheap.No taste .poor service.High price.cheap food .They are scamming people by putting Indian name .When we ordered food,they were roaming here and there and we felt like we were the first customer they ever had.we simply wasted our money and if you wish to waste your money as well ,you can go to this restaurant.I can't save the review without giving any stars,that's why I am putting one star.

The best food I ever had and the service and good price

Frankly I only came here because ive never seen such a low score for a restaurant before. How could any establishment operate if it consistently garnered such low scores. So my expectations were low. The food however was consistent with the pricing and the manager could take the odd joke. The beer was cold and the madras was spicy. What’s not to like? If you’re after a nice quick curry and friendly service and you’re not expecting anything beyond the ordinary you will be satisfied.

Small, silent, ghostly and deserted restaurant.... As for the food, it was also quite good, but the bill, as reported by others, was disproportionate. £40 each for some chicken with rice and bread accompanied by draft beer. The owner (the only person seen inside) is a decidedly strange guy...

The food was really delicious. The menu actually shows normal prices. ATTENTION: When ordering, a lot of side dishes were recommended or forced upon us. These increase the bill significantly.

The owner acts all friendly when you come in but he is an absolute scumbag in disguise. The charges mysteriously add up throughout dinner and at the end you’re presented with a nonsense bill and the owner treats you with a hostile attitude as if the table has turned. I asked for water (just like any customer going into a restaurant would) and instead of just giving us water, he pulls out two bottles of water (Nestle - the cheapest of its kind) - didn’t think too much at the time but that was an added 8 pounds on the bill. Two Nestle bottles of water for 8 pounds! I ask what that was all about and he points to the smallest corner of the menu that denotes the cost of water. Unbelievable. The food was mediocre at best and the portions were atrociously small. I should have read all the reviews first, now it all makes sense. Avoid this scumbag at all costs. This guy takes advantage of unassuming customers and scams them. Tldr: two bottles of water for 8 pounds. The owner tricks people into paying more and is a scumbag.

We loved this restaurant - really friendly service and good authentic food.

The worst customer service that you can get. Did not have option of zero star hence giving 1 star. I would strongly recommend to never go to this place. Rude and disrespectful person services.

Never set foot in this restaurant. You can almost literally say that it was an armed robbery. The food is worth absolutely nothing, the waiter-owner is in charge of ordering for you, and finally, when he brings you the bill you don't faint because you are still sitting. We have not reported it due to lack of time since we take the plane in a few hours. A real joke.

Today I went to this place first I ordered one food and changed my mind and immediately said another food. This guy is a very rude told me to go out of the restaurant. I am an Indian but I don't recommend this place to London people. It's a big shame on you. They don't know how to treat customers. They are Very rude. I don't recommend this place to anybody.

Worst food and service in London. Classic overpriced tourist scam - do yourself a favour and stay away!

Don't go under any circumstances! The waiter cheated and we didn't get what we ordered. Only four pieces of chicken in the take away portion and the naan bread was from the store. Shameful.

It was a very bad experience and I will not repeat it. It is a steal in every sense of the word. Food for just one meal costs more than 39 pounds. I advise against visiting it.

price needs update outside and inside different

Good place to eat, first time come to London and good place for indian, and including White wine

This guy the owner is a complete and utter scam artist. These reviews show the true reality of this place whilst on trip adviser he’s busy leaving fake reviews. Seriously don’t get caught out going here, especially if tired and staying nextdoor in the hotel. I know it’s tempting and easy but you really will be robbed. Prices are not what are advertised. He adds things on. The size of the meals you couldn’t feed a toddler with fgs This chap is extremely pushy and after he’s taken you for ride will have the nerve to want a tip. Utter disgrace.

Recession read too late! Outrageous and expensive!

Hotel is Pathetic, service and food is very poor, test of food is very bad and rates are very high... I don't mind spending more,if can get better service and food..

TOTAL SCAMMER. im almost certain i was served leftover food. the slap on the face was a deliberate attempt to over-charge me. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Very spicy food. When I told him it was spicy, he changed a plate for us, but come on, regular. Of course, I have to admit that it was the first time I went to a Hindu. Peculiar owner, he forced me to put the review in front of him, but come on, I changed it. And charisma.

very disappointing and expensive.

We came to eat Indian food and we ended eating food out of a can that we paid a fortune twice the price of what we ordered... Total scam. Avoid at all price.

Great curry!!!! I loved my naan and the service was amazing, very funny!

Balgit i am your lost cousin you Need tonsend me money i AM in india arabean people want to eat me Help they said that you are a estafetor

Pathetic food.please dont try or go there. Not at all indian cuisine they dont know how to cook. They give dalmakhani in yellow lentils. And arguing that we dont know about that thats the way it made they said. Red flag⛳️

Close this place down Not a good business Scammer manager Crap food

The food was delicious, but when I paid the bill in a daze, I ended up paying a tip of £10. We're screwed. Other than that, it's not a rip-off.

TO AVOID Dishonest owner. The prices on the outside menu are wrong. The prices on the leaflets are false. The final price is also wrong and more expensive. Three small pieces of chicken for 8.95 pounds. The owner shuts the door in our faces when we ask him for explanations.

Worst restaurant I've ever been.

Worst experience the food is disgusting!!!!! yes disgusting. Dirty restaurant and a crook who steals from you. Avoid.

He’s a rat, total scammer. We entered to the restaurant because it was alone (now we know why) and the owner promised “good food and good prices”. Got charged 93.25 £ (as shown in the picture). The sizes of the food are miserable and he asked general things such as “¿would you like rice?” and a normal person may think that the rice comes included in the original price as it’s part of the meal, but he charged it as an extra without being clear about it. He served bread on the table without asking and we thought it was a courtesy. But no. He charged us for every single piece of bread and every single of the spicy sauces (we never asked for them). We should sue this guy.

Overcharges like crazy. food is disgusting but you must eat then write down prices from menu and compare with the bill

Complete scam. They put fake price outside and inside menu price is much higher. And the food to say is worst quality served in not even proper plates. They sell packed juices saying they are fresh. Worst experience ever. Wines are the only thing that you would like since they dont make them.

Worse food and verry expensive we know that the restaurant is in Paddington butt still is very expensive and food quality very cheap

What a con artist! If you are Muslim and your scamming your own brothers n sisters out of their money how can you expect any barakah in your business where is your fear of Allah ? In general just have some human decency. One day all the scamming you’ve done will come back to bite you!

We went to taj mahal ordered for food for 3 people naan was to thick look raw inside we ask for bit spicy chicken curry and daal masala it's was low quality food.Never go back again,waste of my money

Don't go here, it's all a scam. It's says on the menu that it's £0. Something for popadoms but charged £6.90

The staff was so rude they don’t know how to speak with their customers .

Watched a review of a group of young women eating here, absolutely scammed them and the food looked disgusting and old. As a South Asian I am disgusted by these people. You should be ashamed to call yourselves Indian, we are supposed to be good hospitable people and yet here you are being dirty liars. Shame on you and this awful restaurant. I promise anyone reading these reviews, on behalf of India, we sincerely apologize and we do not claim these terrible thieves!!!

Very terrible place and food was worst and too expensive....food is not cooked properly with no taste...won't suggest anyone as a food blooger
