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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

Unfortunately, this lovely neighbourhood gem has closed down permanently. The wonderfully tasty food and warm family atmosphere are much missed.

¡No solo el Gen Dan Fushia es mi comida favorita para llevar, sino que también es la mejor comida tailandesa que he comido en Londres! El arroz Pad Thai Pak y Kao Pad son absolutamente deliciosos y siempre tienen un sabor fresco. Las porciones también son muy grandes, así que definitivamente se pueden compartir. La comida siempre se entrega puntualmente y caliente también. Nunca tuve una mala experiencia con ellos, ¡en general, un gran servicio!

I ordered a Singapore Laksa having eaten it half way through the bowl then I found hair from the noodle soup, had to pull it out of my mouth, I immediately STOPPED eating and raised a concern to the waiter, he was being very apologetic, but the owner was shouting at the waiter for raising the concern. Waiter came back apologised again and asked me to pay the full price, which I DID. That was the treatment I got, so best of luck.
