Trust a foodie, change your fancy plans and go here first!

Ordered kerala porotta and meen pollichathu through uber eats. The description for meen pollichathu says a sea bass but actually it was a fillet and the portion was too small for the rate. Remaining kerala Porotta was good.

Just enjoyed the most wonderful post-theatre food here. We shared a variety of starters with a dhal and a paratha. Everything was so fresh and delicious. A lovely way to end an evening.

We had organised an event in our office and contacted the Shilpa Restaurant team to provide the food for 75 people - The customer service had been brilliant from day 1 to the event day itself. We received so many compliments for the food and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Thank you from us all.

Delightful. These people from Kerala in India are so genuine, warm and friendly and their food is so good. Sometimes it can be rather spicy, so ask first. Cozy atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Strongly recommended.

It is some of the best authentic Indian food I have eaten. Thanks for dining

Pathetic food. Ordered masala dosa and chilli cauliflower fry. Masala dosa and chutney was too salty and unable to eat. Sambar was ok ok. Cauliflower fry was like deep red. I am.sure they have added like tons of red colour to it. And when i removed tge batter , cauliflower was like blackish colour. I think they used rotten cauliflower to make fry. I ordered from this restaurant due to the comments. I don't think these people have tasted the real kerala food once in their life time. If so they wouldn't give these much positive comments

We had a tiring day around London and a below average lunch. We were craving for some nice Indian food before we leave London and literally this dinner at Shilpa’s saved our day. The food was fantastic and authentic. Especially the appam, fish Moilee and Aattu eraichii!!!! We didn’t want to leave and couldn’t get enough of the food. We h started with a refreshing pint of cobra and aattu eraichi on the side. Couldn’t ask for anything better than this. Would definitely come back for more.

I recently visited this restaurant with three other people. It is a cozy place with appetizing food. Every dish I ate was bursting with flavors, and the blend of spices with the veggies or meat was just perfect. The chef really knows what he's doing. The service was excellent, and the manager, Ajith, was very kind to us. I will definitely visit this restaurant again whenever I get the chance.

We went for the onam celebration, and it was brilliant!!! It was probably the best sadhya we have had in a while! From the hosting to the food, par excellence! Can't wait to try and go eat the regular menu.

The Onam sadhya was wonderful !!! Enjoyed it….

We had a fabulous Onam Sadya today at Shilpa. Absolutely scrumptious food, amazing service at a serene set up. We had a prior experience as well on another occasion for a dinner with all kinds of traditional dishes. They once again proved today. Kudos to the Shilpa team, and keep up the good quality. May god showers health and happiness to the team. See you all again.

Very basic, unexcitable Indian food. Chutneys were over chilled and very thick, like an ice cream consistency. Onion Bhajis looked store bought. Chicken 65 was nice, chicken cooked well. Madras was creamy and Korma like, not your usual dark, spicy sauce. Dosa was good, I liked the flavour of the pancake itself - again, chutneys let them down. Restaurant could do with a fresh coat of paint, walls and menus weren’t overly clean and for the price I’d expect a lot more. Disappointed!

A lovely gem in Hammersmith. Attentive friendly service and fabulous Keralese food. Wonderful

I recently ordered online, and the experience was underwhelming. While the menu had a good selection of seafood, the quality of the food that arrived was disappointing. The fish tasted like it had been frozen for too long, with a texture that felt old and unappetizing. Given how expensive the meal was, I expected much better quality. Unfortunately, the high cost did not match the subpar food, and I wouldn't consider ordering from them again.

Tried porotta and beef curry.It was soo good.Porotta was so flaky and soft and beef was so tender and tasty.

The dosa was decent but the chutney and sambhar were below average, the chicken biryani was below average too, some chicken pieces were very hard in the biryani too. The service was fantastic, sadly let down by the quality of food. Prices are fair for the area so that’s an advantage. Might be back in the future to try starters but definitely will avoid the main course dishes.

Had visited today and had a masala dosa. It was very tasty and authentic. I also had takeaway for Parotta and beef curry. The Parotta was very flaky and soft, the best ones I ever had in the UK. The beef curry was also very tasty. Great ambience and wonderful customer service. I'll completely recommend everyone to visit.

Amazing Kerala food with fat rice, fish curry with green mango, and beef fry and Papadums with onions. Friendly staff and a nice area.

Best Kerala food in West side of London

We ordered Pothi Choru (along with fish curry and appam) from here and what we got was horrible to say the least. First of all the delivery packaging was torn. Inside the banana leaf packing there was half of 1 piece of fish (imagine that..!!) and half papodam - all mixed with rice, omlette, veggies and curry. Looked so unappetizing and disgusting that we lost our hunger. Typically when you order a thali, you would expect the items to be packed separately but here it felt like someone pre mixed it by hand and even squeezed a lemon on the customer's behalf. Thankfully, we had ordered a separate fish curry (curry was good but again the fish size could be measured in millimetres) and appam - which was really nice.

Beautiful small indian restaurant. Lovely Dosa. Friendly owners and waiters. Can cater for vegans.

Absolutely fantastic. 5/5 for everything, food, service and atmosphere.

The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with flavors and beautifully presented. Definitely I will come back to try more dishes.

Worst Nd cold kerala vegetables curry

Really nice food. Highly recommend

If you're a foodie on the hunt for an exceptional dining experience, look no further than Shilpa Indian Restaurant. Specializing in Kerala cuisine, this restaurant offers a delectable journey through the flavors of South India that will leave you craving more. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience with their recommendations and insights into the dishes. I highly recommend to every foodie. Whether you're a seasoned lover of South Indian food or just beginning to explore it, this restaurant is a must-visit. Will definitely visit again.

Update 2: ordered online. had beef chilly, kerala porotta, Kerala chicken roast, kappa meen, and kappa biryani. Pleasant staff, quick delivery. Food was good. Chicken pieces were a bit bland. Enjoyed the fish curry with kappa. Update 1: reached the restaurant a bit before opening time. Owner generously slowed us to wait inside even though it was not open for guests. A big thank you! Food was awesome. Generous potions, fluffy porotta. Never had that good Kerala porotta in UK. Visit 1 (sometime in 2023): good was a bit too oily. To be fair to the cook, we went on the day before onam, probably the busiest day in their calendar. Payasam - was really good. They charge a 10% service charge without asking/telling. I did not contest it as service was pleasant. Washrooms were neat, tables were small.

Blown away with the beef dish, egg curry & the kerala appam. Felt like I was at home again. Also, food was reasonably priced! Will definitely return.

FOOD: we had a mixed experience. Some items were outstanding, whereas some items did not meet my expectations, especially the beef roast. Considering the rates were a little bit on the expensive side, I had high expectations and probably that made my experience a tad negative. SERVICE: Excellent and very attentive staff. Clean toilet facility available. AMBIENCE: I loved it. It wasn't busy as we went for lunch on a weekday. Decorations were very good and there were adequate lighting as well. PARKING: street side parking available. Need to pay the parking ticket for the hours and seemed to have few parking spots in short walking distance, but then it was not busy hours!

Friend found a GIGANTIC SCREW in her food. We've been kind to them despite their rubbish service and belligerence because we always liked the food. Never again. Avoid like the plague.

Kerala food was really good, very crispy porotta and appam . Authentic spicy food

I like it spicy but wife doesn't! I ordered spicy Jalfrezi she ordered tikka masala,it was as hot as mine so she didn't eat it! Ask for 2 drinks got 1& later asked for another drink & he forgot! Think they to busy with takeaways & forgot about the people in the restaurant!. Portions were a good size & price was good value we got 2 cokes 1 bottle of water 2 onion bhaji 2 rice chicken Jalfrezi & chicken tikka masala garlic naan Think it was about £52

This place is amazing, and I can't get enough of their Kappa Biriyani. The service is always at its best, and the ambiance is just perfect for a relaxing dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious South Indian cuisine in London.

Lovely South Indian food with flavours and ingredients from Kerala. Their elegant use of spices makes the dishes special and the prices are very reasonable for such generous portions. Recommend beautifully prepared Kerala fish curry and Varutharacha Kozhi Curry. I have been eating here for a decade and have never had a disappointing meal.

Good place and a delicious taste but south indian options are less... masala dosa taste is very good....

The restaurant was great but the food was average. We ordered a fish fry but it seemed like the fish was not that fresh.if you miss the Kerala type food and you are living in west London then this is the closest place to find a Kerala style food. It's a bit expensive but I can't blame them because of the location. The staff were really nice and friendly. The place has nice artwork that brings out the traditional Kerala vibes .

Can't beat an evening in Shilpa. Superb chicken jalfrezi. Quality lamb madras. Colourful Pilau rice. Two beers for me. Rare glass of red wine for My Lady Browne. Popadoms. Finished the whole thing off. 48 pounds including servizio. Alpha quality. Charming service. Best curry in SW London,

Lush! Our fave Indian around here. I literally crave their dosas! Don’t make an order without one haha 😛

Great meal - loved the Keralan fish curry. Rice portion was more than enough for one person though - over ordered!

Paid reasonable price for the food. The quantity was less. Order kappa and fish cury combo.

Shilpa Restaurant in Hammersmith is a true gem offering an authentic taste of Kerala right here in London. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

It's so difficult to get good Indian cuisine where I am from, so a trip to London quickly remedied that. After a show, my husband and I wanted quality Indian food close to where we were. We saw the reviews for Shilpa and they do not do this place justice. This is an absolute gem of a place. I had the King Prawn Tandoori and I had tears of absolute joy! The rice was also spectacular. My husband had the delicious lamb dum biriyani, which he loved. The naan bread was fresh and had a unique flavor. The flavors were so complex and a delight for those of us who want to eat something healthy and tasty. It exceeded our expectations. We're already planning our next trip to London and stay in the area, just to eat here. Thank you also to the staff, who were very friendly and provided excellent service.

WORST “Chicken Biryani and idly ever”!!! DO NOT TRY BIRYANI OR IDLY FROM THIS PLACE. However the staff were really nice. I ordered idly and chicken dum biryani . Idly was so hard and dry and chewy. Their so called chicken dum biryani is one of the top worst biryani I have ever had, no where close . It just few pieces of chicken that was so hard and chewy , mixed with excess of mint with rice, the rice was uncooked. Could not even swallow a bite, sucha real disaster. I had to order again from a different restaurant. Sucha waste of my time and money.

Kozhappulla athre parayan ullu. Just ok

I am a usual customer of this restaurant. I always start eating the food with a smile because I know it will be delicious. They have good staff and nice food. Thank you so much 🥰

Food was disappointing. The poppadom dips were poor and had no onions,Onion Bhajis were soft, my Lamb Madras lacked any flavour and was pretty bland. Service also included in bill. An unsatisfactory meal all round.

No taste....waste of money .....when complaint no response all the blame on chef ....

We have dined at the Shilpa perhaps once a month for many years. The food is always excelent and very good value. In the past the only drawback was the service; always pleasant enough but very slow. Typically, after arriving there would be quite a long wait and then some nice warm plates would arrive but, by the time the food arrived the plates would be already cold! This evening was different. The warm plates arrived not long after we had placed our order and the food shortly thereafter. Veux que ca dur as Napoleon's mother said when someone encountered her wandering around Versailles.

An unpretentious Indian restaurant serving the most delicious food. We have eaten there four or five times and always been delighted by the quality of the dishes on offer.

I’ve only ordered food from here but I think it’s the best Indian food in the west London if not beyond. Really flavourful, proper authentic south Asian food, not oily. Love

Very less space to eat in especially with babies so we usually order takeaways. Had Kizhi Parotta few times and the price is a bit high compared to other Kerala restaurants in London. It was okayish taste wise and they have only boneless chicken in all their chicken dishes. The big boneless pieces in Kizhi Parotta makes it not taste great and felt raw taste in some pieces. The Parotta they make is really good.

Food was really nice. Kerala parata was delicious. Good service

One of the best resturant in London clean place good food all food making very nice way and serving to customers

Excellent menu with great choice of vegetarian options as well as meat curries, great sides and amazing shredded bread. Service friendly and efficient, nice buzz, not too noisy for conversation.

London is a city with many great Indian restaurants, so standing out is not an easy feat. This place does by offering a couple of regional specialties that are rarely this good elsewhere. Cosy vibe makes it, in my mind, a nice place for a date. Thst being said, I enjoyed eating here alone, as the occasion would have it

This restaurant is such a delight - authentic South Indian food and fantastic service

This restaurant does not look much from the street, but the food is great. Each dish is plentiful, and our experience is that it is all cooked fresh - including naans. Really enjoyed the food that we had. It opens late too. Don't be put off by the relatively ordinary exterior - risk it and enjoy a good meal.

Most amazing experience! Authentic taste and warm welcome by Mr. Srijesh at reception . A must go experience for all keralites !!!

This Indian restaurant was the biggest surprise. The food was just delicious and I was in 7th heaven. I had the Beef Ularthiyathu (flavourful curried beef and Keralan Paratha). It truly was perfection and I would recommend this place highly. To top, the staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurant was busy.

I recently had an outstanding dining experience at Shilpa Indian Restaurant on King Street, Hammersmith, London. The warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The extensive menu offered a delightful array of authentic Indian dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The service at Shilpa was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality added to the overall charm of the restaurant. I highly recommend Shilpa to anyone seeking an exceptional Indian dining experience in London. The combination of delectable cuisine and top-notch service makes it a standout choice on King Street. I look forward to returning to Shilpa for another delightful meal soon.

Visited this restaurant because the reviews were good. Hygiene rating of 3 but thought would try anyway. Restaurant interior very bright and Bland more like a cafe. Popadom dip tray unlike any other and not good. Food served through a hatch with a curtain. Limited menu but food was okay. Won’t be back

Ottimo ristorante indiano in hammersmith, lo conosco da molto tempo ed è sempre una piacevole sorpresa!

Delicious food from the restaurant paired with impeccable service from 'Prince Baiju' made the dining experience exceptional.

Very hygienic restaurant.foods are really tasty

Had a sumptuous dinner from the restaurant. Tried their Kerala Porotta and meat Mappas this time. I’ve to say this - I’ve had Indian foods around London, but have got nothing that matches the authenticity, taste, quality and affordability that Shilpa Restaurant offers. The interior is quite cozy and is decorated with traditional South Indian artefacts and paintings, enhancing the overall ambiance. The service from the friendly staff was within reasonable time, considering the dishes were prepared fresh. It’s a no brainier for anyone around Hammersmith to visit this gem of a place and relish the authentic Indian cuisine. It’s located within a small walk from the Ravenscourt station- district line. I’ll surely visit them again whenever I am around there.

Food was awesome and the service was cool

Nice food.. good service.. Especially Prince.. the best waiter I ever have seen in London

Decent food, just rather slow. Highly recommended the garlic naan

Amazing indian food. Authentic taste with best offers in the city! Mr. Sreejesh at the reception is very welcoming and treated us with great hospitality throughout.

Small from outside, a worthy discover and an exquisite experience “inside”. Real tastes of India through a familiar mood. Deserves a visit when passing by Hammersmith… Sorry…, London! 😀

Don't order directly from here. They take more than an hour to deliver and they keep on saying that the delivery person is just about to reach.

My partner and I were staying in Hammersmith for a few nights and found this restaurant by chance. It is quite small, with simple decor but, we liked the look of the menu, so thought we'd give it a go. I can only say that we're both delighted that we did so. The food was delicious. We particularly liked the idly and cauliflower starters and egg curry and sea bass mains, but there is plenty of choice, with the restaurant serving vegan, vegetarian, fish and meat dishes. We eat Indian cuisine a lot, but still found a couple of dishes on the menu we had not tried before. We were very happy with the service and thought the bill was reasonable. We liked it so much we went back a couple of nights later to try some of their other dishes. Highly recommended.

Excellent food!!We have been to this restaurant last weekend .we had some starters Aattirachi varattiyathu and kerala beef chilli was extremely delicious and their kerala paratha beef curry is a must try and all dishes we tried was delicious.As a Keralite we found a place where we get authentic South Indian food.The atmosphere and their service was too good

Made a reservation for 1815 today. The restaurant apparently opens at 1800 but it was still closed when we arrived, albeit we saw some movement in the kitchen. Made several calls but no one picked up. Not sure what happened but the lack of communication was appalling.

Illogical and disrespectful behaviour from the staff.

If you’re looking for some delicious Indian dishes, Shilpa Restaurant is one of the best place for dine-in in hammersmith area. My favourite is chicken curry with Kerala Paratha. There are lots of options you can try. Highly recommend.

This is one of the best South Indian ( Kerala Restaurant) . You will never get disappointed Shashi Pottathil Shashi Yoga , CA San Diego , CA 92126

Excellent food. Starter attirachi varattiyath and main Alappey Fish curry with appam was great. Loved the food. As a keralite, I was glad that this restaurant serves authentic Keralan food. Great service by the staff too. Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.

We went recently on 20th September on My Husband's Birthday to have dinner. He is a big fan of crab 🦀🦀 but not me so whenever he wants to eat that we visit Shilpa restaurant. Also my girls always ordered no. 36 chicken curry delicious none chicken curry has taste like this. Pure authentic Indian food. We will always visit this place as long as they serve tasty Indian food.

Excellent ambience with great food. Good portion! Can't wait to come again to try the Masala Dosa.

The food was absolutely amazing! Reminded me of when I actually visited and ate in Kerala as it's my home city! Shilpa is definitely a place to eat at, if you enjoy flavours and spice!!

Excellent ambience with great food. Good portion! Can't wait to come again to try the Masala Dosa.

Visited here with three friends after two of them had raved about the food here from a couple of previous visits. From when we arrived, the atmosphere and decor were bleak, and we were questioned multiple times about our booking saying they couldn’t find it (there was only one other table in there so not sure why it mattered anyway?). We ordered a decent amount of food, and every element was a disappointment. Popadoms were chewy and stale, and the dips that accompanied nobody could actually work out what they were. There was a service hatch within our view that had a white shower curtain on the kitchen side, however when it was open we could very clearly see that all our food was just being microwaved, which was also painfully clear when we received the soggiest and saddest onion bhajis I’ve ever been handed in a restaurant. My microwaved tikka masala hardly had any sauce and tasted of nothing, the “special” fish curry was a sad bowl of watery and tasteless liquid with frozen fish in it, and the other two curries I was told were also very plain. Naan breads, along with all our curries, were seen being microwaved and were not fresh at all. When trying to pay, we presented our Meerkat Meals voucher (which my friends have used on every other visit with no problems), and the waitress pretended to not know what it was, then said we couldn’t use it as we hadn’t presented it when being seated (again, doesn’t say on the terms of the offer and has never been an issue before here). My friend then wanted to speak with the manager and the waitress brought the landline over and he had to speak to the manager over the phone? The manager at first said he didn’t understand the offer, and then after some back and forth told my friend that he “couldn’t afford the offer because he has bills to pay” … Don’t we all?! Eventually he was told to pass the phone back to the waitress, and she begrudgingly gave us the discount, we paid and left. Worst Indian restaurant experience I have ever had in my life, would tell anyone to avoid.

Went early evening with a friend. We had been here before some years ago and remembered it was good. It seems to be predominantly Kerala cuisine. We had a simple meal - poppadoms to start, then 3 dishes (2 vegetarian, one seafood) and a rice each between us. All the food was excellent - freshly prepared and freshly spiced. Couldn't find fault with anything. Prices were reasonable. We also noticed that most of the other customers were Indian, which is always a good sign. Would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Worst experience I ever had with a restaurant. They will accept the online order, leave us waiting for more than 2 hours and at the end cancels the order. I called the restaurant for an explanation and they will just end the call after picking up.

4.3 must be out of 100!! I Was walking past and quickly checked it’s reviews as you do! 4.3 so thought I’d give it a try. Madras was less spicy than the mild tilka masala I’d ask for the mrs and on level pegging with the kids korma. The chicken had that taste to it, the one where you know it’s not right even with all the spices covering up. The madras and the masala was basically swimming (drowning) in oil.. if you have even the slightest enjoyment of Indian food then avoid.

The owner will be fully aware of the review that is coming and if I could leave 0 stars I would. Myself and 3 friends visited the restaurant on Thursday. They had dined at the restaurant before and had a very pleasant experience with excellent service. It is a shame that this experience was the polar opposite. When we arrived I told the waitress that we had a booking and told her my name and she said to sit anywhere in the restaurant so we sat down and waited for our other friends to arrive. In the interim we ordered pappadums to share (a very small portion for quite an expensive price), she took our drinks orders and stated that they did not have any cobra on tap which was an issue for my friends the previous time they went (the pints were flat). That was fine we had bottles instead. When our other friends arrived she promptly took our order and took it to the kitchen. The kitchen has a window to the restaurant where you can see in which is partially covered by what can only be described as a shower curtain, and we could see 2 microwaves in use throughout our whole experience, just to bare the below in mind. Our first starters arrived, we had lamb samosas and onion bhaijis. I personally did not have the lamb samosas so will not comment however it was clear the onion bhaijis had not been cooked fresh (despite this being perhaps one of the easiest dishes to prepare fresh) and in fact we could see them being taken out of the microwave. The curry was average at best, again we saw this being prepared in the microwave, and mine had little to no spice or flavour and tasted like it had come from a jar (or had been pre prepared, frozen and heated up). We believe this was the case because in fact, all of our curries were very watery and tasteless as would be the case if it had been heated up from frozen. However I would have not bothered to leave a negative review (despite the microwave situation) had these been the only issues. The real issue came when we were paying the bill. When we paid the bill we informed the waitress we had the meerkat meals discount and please could she adjust the bill accordingly. The meerkat meals discount is 2 for 1 on food (so for the avoidance of doubt you get 2 dishes and pay for 1). Between all of us we are still not sure what the waitresses argument was, despite my friends having used this very same discount on the previous occasions they had visited this restaurant. However I believe gist of her argument was that we needed to have either booked the meerkat meals discount beforehand or told her when we entered the restaurant. I am aware of other marketing (such as Tastecard for example) that imposes these rules however we checked the terms and conditions of the meerkat meals app and that was not the case with this offer. After some back and forth and no real progress with the waitress we were told to wait half an hour so the manager could come to the restaurant to speak to us. We said that’s fine we will wait - we are talking about a bill that was over £130 originally so worth 30 mins wait to get the discount. Next thing we know my friend is being handed a landline telephone to speak to the manager of the restaurant. My friend explains the situation and says the terms are valid and we would like the discount please. Initially the manager makes the same excuses as the waitress i.e we should have booked through meerkat meals (again not a term) however he then changes his mind and says he cannot afford to give the discount because he has bills to pay. I am fully aware there is a cost of living crisis, however quite frankly, this is not my problem and the restaurant have chosen to be on meerkat meals and offer this discount. Again after more back and forth he asks my friend what we want and from the start we only wanted the meerkat meals discount offered (despite the average food and microwave meals, which we could have complained about further but chose not to) which is 2 for 1. He asks us what 2 for 1 is (alarming for a restaurant owner) and we explain it in simple terms. After more back and forth the phone goes back to the waitress. We then get offered our bill, pay it promptly and leave. A few takeaway points here: - They microwave the food - The food is incredibly average and you should not pay full price for it - They won’t offer the meerkat meals discount despite it being offered on the platform (we had to argue with 2 members of staff, also despite using it at this establishment before) - They have cash flow issues as purported by the manager himself so if you are staff I would seriously consider whether you want to work here in future

Nice simple, delicious and cheap vegetarian lunch deal for £4

Superbe restaurant indien. Service rapide et efficace ainsi que des superbes choix végétariens,rien d’étonnant pour un resto indien. En bref la formule typique londonienne est parfaitement exécuté. A essayer !

Excellent service also very delicious food highly recommended.

This place is totally BIASED. I was here with my friend and had to wait for more than an HOUR to get our food. BECAUSE the whole kitchen, staff and everyone was busy serving 2 big tables with approx 30 people in total. ATTENTIVENESS 0/5 CATERING AND SERVIN 0/5 THE FOOD 3/5

The food was excellent. My family members loved what they ordered: prawn curry, lamb rogan josh, etc. As for me, I had the best dosa of my life - stuffed with spicy chicken.

Our family visit to shilpa was quite an amazing one.The food as well as service is exceptional. I had kerala paratha and chicken roast which were both superb.paratha's were so soft. vegetable biriyani was also amazing with lots of veggies and balanced flavor.Definitely will be returning back.

My favorite indian restaurant in London. Best Chicken Tikka Masala I've ever had! Great service and good prices.

Food was average, ordered biryani it was horrible. Plater was nice. Service is also need to improve.
