Salim's Restaurant & Take Away in Haringey

It’s the best for a quick munch and fill up! I love the lay out and food and service is awesome….Fahim is a real gentleman and I love his style! I always visit the place and I strongly recommend everyone to visit the place….

Lovely restaurant great atmosphere. I had tandoori chicken sag, one of the best I have ever had and finish the whole dish something I hardly ever do. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. The wine was wonder. Complementary drink a nice touch. Will be back.

We went yesterday on a recommendation and I thinking whi have I not been sooner. Loved it and staff so helpful.

The best, fresh, clean and affordable. Very tasty and authentic. Lovely. Cannot fault them on anything. Must try if you are passing by

Ordered for delivery. Tasty food with tender pieces of chicken. Good value for money. The tandoori roti and butter naan were freshly made. Only downside there was too much salt for my taste but will order again from here.

Was told the food was medium spice but was extra hot. Would be great if they could maybe make a mild dish because I do love the food but to to spicy for me and child. Ask the lady about the specials offer on the window she snapped at me and said I don't know bout this one meaning the offer and totally dismissed me like I wasn't even a customer. The young girl serving me was so nice but as for the older lady completely opposite.

I went to this place and customer service was extremely nice the food was amazing and they were so generous and the food was fresh ❤️

Thank you Salim's for my delicious Chicken Tika Masala with Chicken Biryani. You can tell this was made with love. Will definitely return. I would have taken a photo but I annihilated it.

We have been regular customers of SALIM's for number of years now. We love their Karahi Gosht, Seekh kebabs, Fish, Chicken tikka , Chana Dal and Naans. very wholesome food ,prepared in a very clean kitchen. we have introduced Salim's to lots of our friends and our family members- they all love it and have become REGULARS too.

We ordered on a supporting site which we won’t use again. What we will be doing is ordering direct! It was delicious! We had the chicken tikka and kebabs for stater the chicken was soft and tasty and with the salad and mint sauce was yummy. I had chicken tikka masala which was amazing and not greasy like so many curries I’ve had. My partner as a lamb bhuna and said it was the best he has had! We also ordered plain rice and a Peshawar nana which was the only disappointment it was completely flat and didn’t have that coconut sweet taste you would expect. Having said that it was delicious and we will definitely use the again.

I had found this place accidentally, food was standard however the lamb curry dish was loaded with bones rather than meat. I will try this place again next time I’m in the area.

Salim's near the west end of Turnpike Lane is probably the only north London outpost of the curry cafes you find in East London and the East End, so has little or no competition for miles. The microwaved precooked curries are from counter bins and have the usual homogenized taste, but are very passable for all that, and are served by friendly staff. The 7-inch long juicy lamb sheek kebabs are especially good, much better than the small dry apologies we find in Indian restaurants; I buy a job lot for the freezer. The kebabs, tandoori chicken and chicken tikka, tend to be a bit over salty. The curries come in medium and large sizes; the plain meat mediums, with typically 20 pieces of meat (lamb) is enough for two portions. The side dishes, such as mixed vegetable and saag aloo tend to be a bit oily. The plastic curry cartons, once washed, are good for multiple freezer and microwave use. Nans are made fresh... have them as a kebab roll for an inexpensive filling meal. This style of takeway (there is a dining area at the back), was previously much cheaper than the typical Indian restaurant, but today are about the same price and without the ambience, and with most cooking not from fresh. I always recommend Salim's, but you could miss it as it's pretty inconspicuous and unlit, and remember they close at 10pm, sometimes before. There is a pay and display bay close by; the rest is double yellow line.

This is an authentic eaterie, don’t expect any frills, waiters at your beck and call but DO expect good quality, tasty food which is piping hot and hits the spot. It’s reasonably priced and the staff are polite and welcoming. Don’t just take my word for it, go and try it yourself.

Have been eating at Salims for years. Never disappointed. Arguably the best, and best value, curries in north london.

BEST CURRY IN NORTH LONDON! Nice service, amazing quality food,reasonable prices,clean food and friendly staff i would highly recommend this place as the best local restaurant in north london.

WARNING! WARNING! The food here is amazing and you will want to come back for more. We had it booked for a 30th birthday with 15 people and the staff were exceptionally good. Would recommend this to anyone.

He asistido regularmente a este lugar desde que vine para una fiesta de cumpleaños a las 14. El curry es jugoso y perfecto, todo lo que cocinan es increíble. Lo he estado presentando a mis amigos durante años, ¡cualquiera que no sea fanático de la comida pakistaní termina por adorarlo! (incluso mis amigos asiáticos prefieren esta comida a la comida de su casa) El personal es encantador, ningún otro restaurante en la zona puede competir.

Absolutely gorgeous Pakastani food, we've been coming to this restaurant for 20 years, brilliant value for money and great service. Worth travelling for!

I love this place - one of our all time faves. Delicious food and cosy atmosphere, can’t recommend it enough.

Stopped there as going to a venue near by, great surprise ! Authentic and great tastes, from various dishes at cheap prices, pilau rice was lovely and fresh, also tried spinach potatoes, daal and roti ( freshly made), also laasi was great !

I enjoyed my vegetarian lunch (fish) at this restaurant. The service was efficient, food was fresh and delicious and I highly recommend it!

Definitely one of best places to eat or try Pakistan food in North London. Wide variety of dishes and deals. Nice stuff, excellent food and prices. I'll go back to try more of their food.

Very helpful staff and food is taste great which you don't get in asian restaurants in london. i highly recommend. Enjoy

I rely on this place for my regular curry fix. The food is truly authentic, really nicely spiced with a wide variety of dishes on offer. Love their daal, saag paneer, lamb curry, keema and biryani. The food is all cooked daily, you just choose what you like from the display and order. The people that work there are super nice. If you like food from north India/Pakistan this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed. Forgot to mention in terms of value for money, you can feed a hungry family of four for about £20 and they do really good fresh naan bread too. Try it, you’ll be back.

I absolutely love this place and I am so happy that I live around the corner. I am veggie and there is an excellent choice. The nan bread is made on the spot so very fresh and delicious. Lovely people who love what they do and we love eating it. I could have their food every day!

Comida excelente, principalmente porque nos preparar todo y no comprar artículos tales como bhajis pakoras, etc. Grandes porciones, servido con una sonrisa y a bajos precios, combinación inmejorable! El extenso menú, ver en línea. También tengo que comentar, está impecable y bien ventilado, así buenas vibraciones! Pero tenía dos quejas. . No es suficiente. La cebolla bhaji de cebolla y no de ajo en pan de ajo. Todo lo demás ordenados perfecto.

Salim llego altamente recomendado, probamos nosotros y encantados. Los sospechosos habituales para llevar ordenados - a tarka dal, Pollo Korma, cordero bhuna, verduras, cebolla bhaji mezclado, todo bien. Razonable esperar League, Champions en la TV así que no te preocupes, agradable conversación. Intentaremos de nuevo pronto, y explorar otros platos. Un gran hallazgo.

Great quality food, changing menu, street food vibe, value for money, freshest possible bread off a rotating grill. Best Tadka Daal in London, hand down...

Chicken biryani from here is awesome it tastes just like home made food. Authentic pakistani flavors with cheap prices. A little hidden gem near Turnpike Lane.

Food is always amazing, we've tried almost every dish on the menu, taken friends there and when we need catering Salim's is the place we call....it's not a typical Resturant, but the food is totally totally authentic...love it...

All good, great value, friendly staff. I've been going here for years and love it. Chicken Tikka Roll is the best....

La segunda vez. . Con amigos para mostrar lo que una buena casa de curry! Así como uno puede ser escéptico al principio. . . . Pero después de muestreo. unos cuantos platos. . Este fue suficiente para convencer a sus papilas gustativas que Salim sigue la supremacía! Ya que en las chuletas delicioso munched de cordero, Pollo a la barbacoa, berenjena y patata curry, Dall y la creme de la creme. . . . Cordero al curry y POLLO BIRYANI. . . Mis amigos. Nos Salim un aprobado y un guiño de aprobación. . Así Salim es mantenido su curry estándar y debería seguir para hacerlo!

Hay una buena variedad de curries que aquí se ofrecen, así como acompañamiento de pan y arroces. Todos los curries probé eran de sabores, aunque ten en cuenta que si (deliberadamente) hecho en un estilo seco y bastante suave.

This time chicken saag rich and full of flavour with dal on the side. Fresh food consistently tasty!!!

Undoubtedly one of the best Indian take away and restaurants I've ever eaten at, if you want fresh home made Real Pakistani food then come to this restaurant, I've been here a few times and would often drive 3 miles from my home to come to this restaurant either for a take away or to sit down with my family.

He estado yendo a Salim de varios años, pero, en primer lugar, he usado como comida para llevar. Debido a la excelente comida y precio, no podía estar lejos! ! ! Entonces un día, en una fantasía, me decidí a comer allí y lo han...

He estado en el comedor de Salim durante años y nunca me ha decepcionado con la comida o el servicio. Altamente recomendado!

Buen servicio, personal amable. La ubicación es conveniente, cerca de una estación de metro. Proporcionan comida fácil como auténticos kebabs y rollos de curry.

Comida fresca y con precios razonables. Fui hace un par de semanas y quiero volver. . . . . .

Sin duda merece la pena una visita. Me ha sido un ordinario aquí durante muchos años. Siempre nos saludaron con una sonrisa, gran sabor recién preparado, cordero al curry es increíble junto con una enorme variedad de platos de degustación. Zona de estar siempre está limpio a un alto nivel. Restaurante muy recomendable para visitar en el norte de Londres. Sin duda 5 estrellas siempre! ! !

Having journeyed some 15 miles here from the west .....Salim's curry fame certainly reigns supreme. I had to try to believe....and indeed it lives up to its name! A small cafe type eaterie with an array of curry dishes on display ....to which you make your order and choose your own table/ seats. What was amazing was the piping hot aromatic curries that came in small bowls but adequate to 'feed' five people! The grilled chicken, the curry chicken and lamb, the lamb chops and the vegetable curry complemented the soft fluffy white rice and tender soft roti/ naan......which together made it a ' complete , cheap and cheerful ' meal! Wonder which curry house giant can take this one down?

I been coming here over 5 years and it's 10 miles from me and the food is sublime. Many restaurants offer this food but so far searching the whole of North London there is no better. By far far far. The staff always very helpful and let you try new things 2 taste. Be careful once you tried salim cooking you will be trapped like me and all the other customers.

I read so reviews in TripAdvisor but I am really disappointed about food and service.. I called the waiter 10 times for glass of water but it's come 40 to 45 minutes later when I finished my food.. I never back again

I used Salims on Saturday night to provide the catering for our cricket club annual dinner. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful when I booked, suggesting starters and mains to cater for everyone's taste. When I called to pick up the food it was all ready for me to take up to the club sealed in containers and wrapped in film so that I could transport it easily. Everyone loved the chicken and lamb kebab starters and the authentic curries for the main were delicious and there was plenty for the whole team to enjoy seconds too! Considering we had chicken, lamb, fish, three veg curries, naan bread and an enormous tray of tasty rice the price was very reasonable and we were all very full and very happy. Salim's bowled us over! The chicken and lamb kebab starters

Is the third or fourth time here I don't really count and all time had great food even with family or friends. This time 07/01/17 I went with two friends (came from Greece) that are new in London and saw them good quality of food with great prices. We had 12 lamb kebabs, salad bread that is made that time in the traditional round oven, we had cheek peas, potato crockets, white rise-there were plenty of food to choose from the big variety they cook there just to let you know that only soft drinks are served and salad has only cucumber and green leaves no tomatoes but is served with great sauce.

Amazing food, amazing staff and super cheap!! Perfect for this miserable weather!! The fried sundries are particularly good.

Excellent food and service by excellent people at an affordable price. Eating their Roti is like eating the one at home, mom's made. Do try everyone!! Highly recommended

Amazing is an understatement for this place. Ignore the location and the ambience because the food and a genuine hospitality is truly hard to find in London. It seems a family run business given that they knew most of the walking in customers. The food is just awesome, do go.

The prices are really good for the quality of food and the staff are polite. I don't really like Asian food outside of my house but I like this place. Would definitely recommend to friends.

This a excellent restaurant for young children it is possible for it to be spicy. The food is always fresh and Tasty actually today was the best ever I tasted there food. Although I think they should have a Childrens menu.

Salim's is a great Indian cafe / takeaway serving fresh, ready cooked dishes. It serves northern food (Punjabi I think). The service is quick and friendly. Going there is always a treat. Usually we buy lots to takeaway so that it lasts us for a few days. I think they keep a lot of people in the Wood Green area well fed. Many thanks!

Great Pakistani food. This place serves really good food at decent prices. This is a local simple style eatery serving fresh and tasty authentic local foods. I highly recommend trying Salims in Turnpike Lane. You will not be disappointed with the food.You can eat in or take away and there is a wide selection of foods to choose from. We regularly come here to have lunch and buy food to take back home especially when we are hosting for family and friends in the evening. To name some of the foods like kebabs, chicken tikka, meat and vegetable curries, rice, and naans.

So, Ive eaten most places like this in London, in Birmingham, in Manchester - It's the best punjabi/pakistani food going. Rich, deep flavour and spice. The value is incredible - the Haleem on the weekends is worth going for alone, but it is all just amazing scran.About a year ago the tidied up the diner area and in most ways it is better and cleaner (although I personally loved the formica wimpy-style fixed tables they used to have) than it ever was.It's unfussy, and the brothers that run the place are Sooooo nice.It's one of my top five jewels of london. Final Note, Ask what things are and pick from the counter, don't order from menu and go in anticipation of having SPICY food.

First time coming here after seeing reviews on Tripadvisor, and I must say I am a fan and will be coming back definitely, food was on point, service was personal and friendly, and the prices were amazing, definitely recommend to anyone

Very personal service and the food is spot on. Quick fast and efficient service as always no matter what time of the day or evening.

Salim's is simply my favourite Indian Restaurant. I won't go anywhere else because nothing else compares to the taste and quality of the food.A friend tipped me off several years ago and now I'm hooked.Often I go in with the intention of buying just one dish but I always end up walking out with half of the menu.I often go when my wife and family are away when I'm left home alone working. I'll pop down and get enough wonderful food to last me all week. What I love about the food is the authentic, home cooked taste. The flavours and spices are rich and intense. If you like it hot, the guys will give you fresh chillies to add yourself.The guys who work there are always smiling and welcoming. They make you feel like your part of the family.

Some of the best (and cheapest) chicken tikka you will find anywhere. (Keema) naans cooked to order - soft and tasty. Great curries, samosas and sides. I've been coming here for years - always great quality, always welcoming. Sit down or take away - wraps excellent value.

It may be a budget restaurant/cafe but probably has some of the best Punjabi cuisine in London. Not always available but the lamb chops are special (be aware they are "well cooked" not pink) also the chicken biryani and naan/roti are worthy of mention. Always a good selection of meat and chicken curries in combinations with vegetables. Special dishes are made for Friday and weekends.Unusually, the vegetables and daals are excellent too, homemade style.If you're in a hurry try the kebab rolls you won't be disappointed.

I love this place. The food is really, really good. Every dish has it's own distinct flavour and I'm not sure which is my favourite. I'm a vegan and there are loads of options for me, plus the staff are very friendly. Great place to grab dinner and sit down after work.

So I've had this on my doorstep for years but have only recently been going in there. I'd heard such good things from others but had never bothered going (thinking there were so many other places local). Bigger fool me... it's so reasonable, clean and very tasty. The guys working there are very welcoming too. Keep up the great work salim's :)

Delicious authentic Punjabi cooking, with lots of dishes to choose from. The staff are always very friendly and can advise on what goes together best if needed.It is definitely great value for money too, we've actually been picking up samosas on the way home for many years.Great!

I have been coming here since the late 1990's and it is undoubtedly the best food I have ever tasted ...ever ...anywhere.When I moved from London to Bristol 15 years ago I bought a huge amount of food from Salims, raced along the motorway and immediately put it all in the freezer in my new place. Since then, any trip remotely near London involves a detour to Salims. In-between visits I have literally woken up at night and realised I had been dreaming about their food. That’s how good it is!The food is always freshly made in huge pots. Each day the choice of curries will be different, but you will normally find a choice of about 3 or 4 meat curries and about the same vegetarian.Now while the curries are incredible, it is actually the seekh kebabs that have always been the most unique and mouth watering part of Salims for me. The texture and ingredients is perfect as is the length of time they are cooked – not too much but not too little.What else can I say…. It is clean, great service, well priced, and a family business which they have always taken huge pride in maintaining the high standards day in day out.By the way, my father is Pakistani. I grew up on this type of food. This style I would describe as ‘home cooking’ and I suppose a little on the unhealthy side with plenty of ghee, but then that is how I like it!

Went with family and was treated well, food was great and value for money! Staff was friendly and polite. Best example of family run place, looking forward to next visit.

Indian Pakistan food with good quality and great prices was here on 28/02/16 on my mother's birthday

Friendly staff, clean premises, and the most amazing tasty food I've ever eaten. I work locally and couldn't believe my luck when I discovered Salim's. I've visited about twice a month for a few years now, and their standard has never faltered from my first visit. Chicken curry is my all-time favourite dish and Salim's has the best I've ever had anywhere, here or abroad. I recommend the chicken biriani, chicken masala, minced chicken, also the fish, and the great naan bread that's always made fresh. Do yourself a favour - eat here!!!

I work locally and have been eating at Salim's for a few years now. The food is really good - the lamb curry is especially good. All the naan breads are cooked to order and the samosas are fantastic. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit

I even don't know how to start this.I have just discovered this spot & the addiction is real!!ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE FOOD.clean, well made food. Simplest the best

Really good place been going here for since I was small visiting my uncle who lived near. Always nice tasty food and great customer service. I would recommend.

I used to work in Hornsey and used to eat here quite a lot. I did get really bad stomach one time and sweats and was laid up in bed for a day from the food. It can be really oily. The kebab rolls are amazing and I tended to get these mostly.

After coming back to this place 10 years later from moving away, the quality of food is still great. Great for the value and consistent in what they do.

My friend and I visit these boys at this wonderful restaurant. We've seen them grow up and their business. They're always polite and respectful and serve freshly prepared food. The food can be a bit oily and hot occasionally but generally mouthwatering hot food that is reasonably priced. The new decor is goid too. Best wishes to this fabulous family owned restaurant.

Always serve fresh and tasty food. Excellent naans are cooked fresh. Chicken, Lamb and Vegetable curries are all very good (the chicken curry and chicken tikka are particularly good). Very friendly and welcoming staff and always happy to bake up a second naan with a look and a nod!

Got a takeaway yesterday. Naan just £0.70 made and cooked before your eyes, tasty lamb curry, friendly and accomodating service. Great local resource.

Salim's have been following a simple and highly effective formula for years: The choice is not huge, but every dish completely delicious. Sometimes very spicy, but always good. Friendly and helpful staff. This is our first choice in the area for good value authentic Indian food. Good hygiene too.

Definitely recommend - great saag with chicken or paneer_ fresh nan for 80p! Strongly recommended . definitely worth a visit

I have been visiting Salims for the last 10 years and each time the food has been really tasty and wholesome they provide a great selection of food. Service is prompt and the staff and family that run the business are kind,cheerful, and warm. I would strongly recommend Salims Restaurant.

We came as a group of 8 for a birthday through a recommendation. We tried a great selection of the food: Tandoori chicken, lamb chops, chicken saag, lamb karahi, chana masala. It was all extremely authentic and tasty. Will definitely return. £95 for 8 people is fantastic value.

Salims have been a reliable supplier of food for our courses. They are always on time and make excellent food with our candidates always asking where we got our food from. Highly recommended

I have been visiting Salims for the last 20years, since i was a little boy. It's a small family business that's run by 4 brothers.The fact that the local indo/pak community has been loyal customers since it first opened says it all. Especially as the elders are so fussy when it comes to authentic Indian food.It's nice to see after all these years they have kept their prices low unlike central London.

This place has good Food but i would say that as i have been going there for a couple off years now till Recently. The food is still good but the service there is not. There are a couple off brothers i think that serve on the front counter and the older brother is very helpful even if your just spending a couple off pounds. But the younger brother is just rude with the way if he feels like it when he serves you. Is this a place just for his local customers or what you decided ???. Shame as this was one off the best food places on this strip.

This place aint pretty (basic), but the food is delicious. Honestly surprised to find in North London.I'm a Nihari freak (the king of all Indo/Pak dishes - slow cooked lamb for 7 hrs in delicious, spicy sauce)... and their Nihari (Fri-Sun) is among the best. Their Saag chicken is also outrageously delicious. And their Rotis are fresh, soft and mouth-watering.Beats all the other bland, copy-cat Indian restaurants in North London...Go check-it!

I've eaten at Salim's on a regular basis for 10 years, and I can honestly say their tarka dal is the best dal in the known world. Last time I returned from a trip to India I was actively looking forward to eating Salim's tarka dal. It is quite literally liquid gold in a bowl. They also serve an exceptional mint sauce.

We have been going here for years and Salim's never disappoints. The staff are friendly and the food is absolutely fabulous. You could feed a whole family of four for less than 35 pounds.

We've been getting a takeaway from Salim's most weeks for several years. Run by very friendly members of a family, favourites include kofta (meat balls and egg), chicken on the bone, lamb off the bone and the really excellent mixed veg with aubergine. The kebab rolls are also highly recommended.

We go to this restaurant every now and then and we were never disappointed, the food is great and the prices are reasonable...they also do takeaway. It's a family run business, it's clean and tasty. I would recommend to anyone wanting to have a good curry.

That's right....the best in town.In my humble opinion.Been coming for 20years.Family run business with recipes handed down from generations.The food is delicious.The staff are 1st rate.I live in Essex and I have to come here once a week at least.Sag chicken and chick peas are the best I've ever tasted and I have travelled all over.Rotis prepared in front of you.Best secret in North London.

This is a lovely cafe serving lovely Pakistani home cooked curry's. I've eaten here several times and have never disappointed. The food is lovely and portions are excellent and the price is brilliant. The staff are always friendly and the place has a nice feel to it. Well worth a visit if in the area.

I've been coming here for years. There are several curry houses on Turnpike Lane (which is undoubtedly the best place for proper home-cooked curry in North London). I choose Salim's over the others because it reminds me of my mums cooking and I always get a warm welcome. I highly recommended this modest looking gem.

Family has been coming here for 20 years. Food is always delicious and prices are extremely reasonable! Plenty of choice. Yum!!

There are two establishments with the name Salim's on the same road. One is Salim Spice near the Turnpike Lane station. The other is Salims Restaurant and Takeway which is the one I usually visit and which this review refers to. ( Both are run by the same people).This is a kind of mix between a take-away and a small basic restaurant. You wont come here for the ambience.The management and staff are friendly.The food is standard Pakistani dishes , but all cooked to perfection. The good thing is they haven't diluted the original taste to suit the western palate and also dont serve any pseudo-Indian dishes like Balti, Madras etc which are the hallmark of Bangladeshi Indian restaurants.Most of the food is already prepared and on display. On ordering your portion will be heated up in the microwave .All the curries are very good, although one could say that some of them are a bit oily. If you come on the weekend, there are special dishes like Nihari( slow cooked lamb) which are amazing.Prices are very reasonable.All in all, a good , budget friendly option to have no-fuss , simple , authentic Pakistani food.

This place is the only real good place there is around the area. The kebabs here are awesome! If you happen to go to Salims, do not miss out on their Kebabs!

If you think the Jalfrazi is awful here I can understand why as I don't recall seeing it on the menu!!!! I love this place! My original review still stands. Food does vary a little as it depends who's cooking but it's always really the best flavours. Take last saturday, the Tarka Dahl was the hottest I've ever tasted, and was wonderful but not as usual. I'm sure these reviews will make little if any difference to Salim's business as it's a cafe and he is supported by the local population not by people like me driving 6 or 7 miles for the experience. I'm just really writing this to let you know that if you want a curry it's a place to go. There are other similar cafes in Turnpike Lane and you should try these too, but in my opinion this is the best. Whenever my son is back from the US it's the place he always wants to go to.

The restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere. I ordered chicken korma my mum ordered vegetable Burian. Both meals were delicious and the korma was sweet just a as I like it. the naan bread was very good but I suggest that you get the butter naan as I found that without your main meal it is a bit bland. ALWAYS eat the naan with th e main meal but overall the meal was excellent

I drive past a lot of so call curry restaurants to get to Salim’s because the food here is sooo good. It’s a family run place with traditional cooking so the food has both heat and flavour. It’s not the run of the mill bland tomato or coconut sauce mix others call masala and korma, it’s a proper place. Don’t go there and complain if you want anglicised food, even the mint sauce here has a kick. If you like curry the flavours are the best. As I said, it's family run with a friendly atmosphere and is really a café not a restaurant serving the local community, don’t park the GTI outside and pose it’s not a swanky night out, but I wouldn’t want it to be any other way. This is the best curry house I’ve found in the last 15 or 20 years since the commercialisation of Brick Lane. And, at less than a tenner a head it’s the best bargain in North London.

Very good and cheap food. Not always available, but their veg samosas are a must have. Nice spicy kick to them.

There are no fancy furnishings or lavish decorations at Salims, but there is delicious simple food which is very reasonably priced. I have frequented Salims for the best part of a decade, and the quality of food and service has always been consistently excellent, long may it continue!

Salon has another small restaurant at 15 turnpike lane just down the road. It's the same delicious food,as this is where some of the curries are prepared. It has it's own menu and flyer,they also do lunch time specials. seating for sixteen it is quite small and not very warm when it's cold outside!! They also do burgers and chips.

Salim's is a gem, the sort you don't find in expensive London very often. The food is real Pakistani food - I am from India and haven't found this sort of authenticity in the UK. It is also extremely cheap.

This is my fourth visit to Salim's, And I have got nothing but praise, The curries are excellent nans are delicious quick service with a smile Nothing fancy here,no tablecloths Salim's reminds me of the 100 or so curry houses of Southall, the food is laid out under a curved glass counter so you can see what you are ordering and what takes your fancy, you can have 3 sizes sml/med/ large, you get free salad and riata ? A med Sag Aloo 1 nan,cost me £4.20p It was plenty to eat and I was full! I have one niggle! when I ordered takeaway When I got the goods home there was oil everywhere! I wish they would use Plastic containers that click shut!

I have been going to salims for almost a year and in that time have tried most things on the menu. The food is consistently good and of the highest quality, I have converted a lot of friends who regularly ask me to bring home curries (as I live in Kent) for there Friday night treats. The value for money is amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to go and have a salims experience.
