Suruchi in Islington

I ordered from here for the first time on the recommend of a friend however the sag aloo was burnt-tasting and horrendously dry, the tarka daal was bland and watery, and the peshwari naan was tepid at best and also very dry. Even the pilau rice was watery and tasteless. Very poor.

Best Indian restaurant in London!

Best restaurant of Indian food in London. Great service and great food. Incredible atmosphere. Totally recomendable

Great food, good portions, great service, and very chill relaxed vibe. They don’t serve alcohol but allow for you to bring your own to consume. They provide glasses for the alcohol. Great place for an intimate date night and very easy access to transportation. Bus stop is less than 2 mins away and the overground is just 10-15 mins away

Tastiest Indian food locally. Food was cooked fresh and hot on the plate, and seasoning was on point. Certainly, I would recommend this restaurant. Service is 10 out of 10, very attentive and friendly staff.

Great curry - highly recommend the Zale Zule

Unfortunately the takeaway portions were unreasonably small for the prices charged. I was hoping for better considering the reviews :( (lighter for size comparison)

Suruchi is always top quality- best lamb dhansak by miles.

Delicious Indian food! Very good value.

We had a delivery for a family party from Suruchi. Six dishes, 4 chicken and two prawn. The food was amazing. Everyone loved it. It was totally delicious and very reasonably priced. The delivery time I requested arrived perfectly on time. I couldn't have been more satisfied and well fed! They have always been great and I'm so glad Suruchi is still in the local area. Outstanding food. Thank you.

Always had good food and good service

I have been going to this restaurant almost every week for several years. I enjoy their food and I can take my own wine which I enjoy. However, be aware they have now moved about 450m away to another location where you can continue to enjoy their food. You can search online for their new adddress and there is a large notice on the window at this old address giving the new location. About 12 to 15 minutes walk away.

Delicious food and great service!! Definitely will be going again!

Ordered using Deliveroo. Worst Food I've ever had. Dosa had stale vegetables. Chutney was really bad. Sev puri had curd in it & that curd had very pungent smell to it, taste was worse. Sev Puri was dissolved in the curd. I have never thrown this much amount of food before.

So its hard to find a good curry house, but this place is fab came here nye in a group of 7, ordered lots, its byob and then it still only came to like £20 each. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and we liked it so much, we ordered it as takeaway on sunday <3 defo recomend, lovely service too... the lamb dansak is yummmm and so is murg makhani (butter chicken) xxxx

Lovely, well priced BYOB neighborhood spot. Nice for a casual meal. Friendly staff.

The food was nice BUT we went for the banquet night which should have been 15 pounds each for two people we got two extra poppadoms and I got a coke now according to our receipt the food and drinks cost us £51.80p now I've just been on the website and added it all up and it only come to £44 pound if it was a banquet night it should have only been £30 ur not telling me that the coke cost £10 talk about daylight robbery

We had a really disappointing meal here. The waiter weirdly decided what we would be having and started writing it down only for us to have to correct him and tell him what we actually wanted. The food felt really cheap and low quality. I would avoid this spot.

Local Indian that serves chicken sagrama hands down THE nicest Indian dish ever created. Love it

Waited 1 hour and 50 mins for my food everything tastes the same not nice no flavour not happy after spending over 60 pounds

I like a traditional curry house. This place looks the part but was awful. Poppodoms were soft. Replaced by waiter with even softer ones. Chapati was hard. Meat was tough. Even the basics were all wrong

Lovely cooked food very happy with this restaurant/ takeaway

Very good food & service is great

The food is absolutely amazing and this restaurant is a regular spot for the family. High quality dishes with excellent customer service which i thoroughly enjoy each time. Great portion sizes and the starters are divine. A must try restaurant in London, not one to miss!

Firstly |I need to tell you that they have moved about 400m to the south. Everything has moved to the new address. Still the same menu and special deal on Tuesday evening and you can still bring your own wine. Ttoo.hey also have an AC unit in the ceiling Come and check it out.

Best Tikka Masala in London. Consistently loved our meals from here. Always greeted with a smile. Great prices too. We used to live next to Suruchi and it became a staple in our diet, a weekly go to. Having moved abroad since we literally crave Suruchi regularly. One of London’s true gems. Thanks for our lovely meals!

The interior is clean and the person serving is a pleasant man. The salted lassi was good. That's where the good things end. I am from Mumbai and when I was presented with Dahi-puri after ordering sev-puri, and confidently told that this is what sev-puri is, I was annoyed. Never mind, I thought and I will have that anyway. The puri (fried wheat ball) reeked of stale oil. I can still feel it in my throat! Had to return it and wasn't charged of course for that. I also ordered rava (Semolina) dosa which turned out to be uttappam with a very spicy mix veg on the side. My partner had tandoori chicken starter which was bright red in colour with non specific taste. Shame really after reading lots of good reviews here. Of course, those who enjoy can carry on but for those who were born in India, the food is nowhere Indian and cheap quality at that.

We have been ordering Indian delivery from Suruchi for over two years and it is always great quality, fresh and hot when it arrives. It is excellent value for money and generous sized portions. Fantastic food from a humble local restaurant with their own personal delivery service.

Food is extremely great. We request in alot or we gather. We can't see ourselves eating inside the café. It's not the staff the staff are great it's simply the energy of the eatery it's self. There's no consideration regarding the stylistic theme of the spot. The green dividers I just can't. I wish they invested a little energy in patching up the spot up get more individuals coming in and really staying there to eat not simply setting there sitting tight for their important point to be prepared. I would rate this place higher however the stylistic theme is simply letting it down for me

Absolutely cracking ruby, BYOB as well, definitely will be returning.

Delicious food, nice setting (candles, music) and perfect service!

A fabulous evening with fabulous food and service.

Another favourite local spot. I can’t get enough of the chicken Korma and the Nan pershwana. For anyone looking for traditional Indian, this is the place to order from.

We just moved close by and tried this based on the reviews - it was amazing! So happy to have this restaurant close by and we will definitely be ordering again. I had the non vegetarian thali which was amazing value and every bite was delicious - the Rogan josh was my favourite.

Firstly compliments to the chef’s lovely food and well priced I got it directly from there website every thing was delicious also I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary dips best curry I have had since I lived in east London and that was in 2012 I moved here will be ordering from here again in the near future or popping in for meal thanks again

I’ll give this is 3+ rating - in other words 3.5 if it were possible to do that scoring on the review system. This is a reasonable quality, local Indian restaurant of the type which used to be ten a penny in London but now are far rarer. We ate on a hot hot summer’s evening. The restaurant had a lick of paint during the lockdown. The staff (culturally from southern India, I believe) were keen and helpful for our group of six. There is a fairly large range of standard restaurant Indian dishes such as biryani, mixed grills, aloos, dals, etc. Due to the southern Indian / Hindi influence you’ll be pleased to know that vegetarian dishes feature strongly that this restaurant, if you don’t want to eat meat. I shared a mixed grill and a special biryani. The quality was reasonably good well presented with as far as I could tell good quality ingredients. Recommended and certainly good value for money. It doesn’t launch any rockets in terms of haute cuisine but it certainly fills a particular niche very well.

Amazing food, with so many options to choose from (vege/vegan/seafood) at reasonable prices. The service was great too, we’ll be back!

The worst place I've ever been. I'm Indian. I know what good dosa is. They don't even understand what it is. Putting cheese inside a normal dosa is unacceptable. It's a vegan dish. Yet the served it with cheese. So expensive too. When i collected it they looked like they didn't have a clue. No serving daal or chutneys. Food looked like it was swept off the floor. AVOID.

A little gem - a great menu, loads of vegan options (curries with soy chunks) DOSA and of course it’s BYOB. The staff are so attentive and kind, highly recommend

Great takeaway, reasonable prices and fast service!

Amazing food and amazing service, the staff are so friendly and accommodating! No idea how it isn't more busy but I'm glad we get to go so often!

The food is always lovely and very fast delivery too.

I ordered on Deliveroo. The food is extremely, extremely sweet, except for the vindaloo which is very very spicy but not very flavorful otherwise.

`Order a few dishes from this restaurant for the first time tonight and this is now our favourite Indian take away.

Amazing food. Freshly cooked. Thank you .

Ordered food from here on deliveroo. Awful. Some of the starters were sweeter than desserts. Really terrible indian food. I'm south indianand made the mistake of ordering dosas from here, whcih tasted like cheese, plus sambar was sweet. Insanity! I think i've never left an online review before, but this was so bad it needed reviewing. Got a refund via deliveroo in the end, so higher rating

I have been to many restaurants but Suruchi hits the spot with their flavoursome dishes and overall brilliance. The street food, starters and main dishes were mindblowingly brilliant to my taste buds. Moreover, it was obvious through the presentation that so much love and care was put into the dishes. Hands down the best I have ordered from. Will definitely order again. Thank you, Suruchi 🙌🏼

This is my new local Indian restaurant ! Great deal on the Tuesday

Solíamos vivir localmente y éramos clientes habituales allí cuando abrió sus puertas por primera vez a fines de la década de 1980. Decidimos volver allí esta semana porque eran bien conocidos por su comida vegetariana. El logotipo y el menú son los mismos y el interior no ha cambiado mucho, aunque no parecía que ahora pudieras cenar al aire libre. El exterior debería habernos advertido que no todo era como solía ser con carteles chillones con ofertas en las ventanas y un tablero A afuera. El plato principal de Paper Dosa era prácticamente incomible, la envoltura debería estar crujiente, era gomosa, el relleno estaba demasiado condimentado y estaba tibio cuando llegó. Como el entrante había sido indescriptible y un cliente hablaba tan alto que mi esposo y yo no podíamos oírnos hablar, decidimos pagar la cuenta y marcharnos. Lo que debería haber sido un viaje agradable por Memory Lane se convirtió en un desastre y, lamentablemente, no volveremos.

This is a hidden gem in MildMay with an outside garden - amazing al fresco in the summer & with a roof & heaters if it rains! A brilliant curry house with lovely service.

Local gem attend for years but not written review. I thought it be worth doing so as eat there yesterday for my Birthday first time since before lockdown, they have a covered garden making it feel very safe well ventilated and still keep the rain off. Server had PPE on while serving top marks for safty

Wonderful food, great staff and you can bring your own drink.

My goto Indian in the area! Great food and good value

Great little neighborhood spot. Good value for money and great food! Friendly service.

💎 Secret gem - no thrills BYOB. Bloomin amazing. This is a fabulous London curry house and recommend to everyone ❤️❤️❤️

I don't like this restaurant. The look of the place doesn't appeal to me at all.

Great food, great value (especially on Tuesday "banquet" night) and very friendly owner and staff.

Such great food and excellent prices. Everyone should go here 😊

well balanced flavours attentive service BYOB

Good food and reasonable prices + BYOB

Very good value and decent food

Ordered Dosa and some South Indian food. Poor taste. Sambar and chutney was horrible.

Épicé mais très bon. Le restaurateur est tres gentil.

good choice of well-cooked curry . well worth a visit if you want an inexpensive night out . bring your own beer or wine, they dont have a licence .

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and lovely service

Not the most exciting place but you can take your own boose

Superb food. Very reasonable prices. Had an amiable conversation with the proprietor who said the restaurant has been here 35 years, changing hands once. Highly recommended.

All that lets this place down is literally the place itself, apart from that good food and service. The food was tasty and the waiter was very attentive and polite, it just needs a makeover (Y)

I've lived in Newington Green for 13years and walked past this place countless times and just never went in. Tonight however a friend and I decided to use this for our dinner and catch up. For their Tuesday £10.95 per head banquet deal we weren't expecting brilliant food but how wrong we were. The food is delicious fresh and delightful. We will be back

Delicious food and very friendly service. The prices seem very good for the area and the quality is good. I wish I had discovered this place years sooner.

30 years in the same place ..defonitely doing it right

Absolutely lovely food! Decor needs to be updated, but despite this you will enjoy every mouthful, the staff are really friendly, you will need to bring your own alcohol as they don't have a licence to serve these drinks.

Excellent food, but to my surprise no drink! Apparently this changed 5 years ago, still forewarned is forearmed take your own and enjoy......

I use to eat in here years ago. It's a nice restaurant with friendly staff. I will go to have a meal in here. I collected 4 keema nan breads to take home and we really enjoyed it. Fresh with a little spice and mince meat was nice inside.thank you suruchi. Look forward to eating in here.

Food is very nice. We order in alot or we collect. We can't see ourselves eating inside the restaurant. It's not the staff the staff are good it's just the vibe of the restaurant it's self. There's no attention to the decor of the place. The green walls I just can't. I wish they spent a little time on revamping the place up get more people coming in and actually sitting there to eat not just setting there waiting for their take away to be ready. I would rate this place higher but the decor is just letting it down for me

Last visit I ordered as a main course the tandoori chicken. This is listed as a half chicken and is normally two good sized pieces. This evening we got just one smaller piece which had been cut in half! The general standard is unfortunately in decline at this restaurant. Neither hand dryer in ladies or gents toilets have been working for several months! Probably potential fines could be levied for such a neglect of routine maintenance. It is such a pity that this restaurant seems to be in decline as I have enjoyed meals here regularly for many months. It is somewhat common for places owned by absentee owners who do not spend much time there. Lets hope he can reverse the decline! After all it is in his own interest!

Restaurant is a little shabby but still full of character. The owner is always polite and is great at recommending dishes for specific tastes and the food is also great value for money. Lamb Chilli Garlic curry is a definite highlight.

Wow. I'm eating the best lamb pasa de regalar I've ever had. It was a better price than I'm used to too. The lamb is tender. I will go back for sure, even tho I'm moving further away right now. Nice people inside too!

I live on Stoke newington church street the land of amazing Indian restaurants and still always go to Suruchi because it is so AMAZING and reasonably priced. My whole family love their food. Often treat ourselves to a takeaway

Host very friendly, surroundings clean, servings of food good and tasty, atmosphere pleasant , and reasonably priced

Standard Indian menu, but all fresh and done really well, been coming here since the 90's. Great welcome and service overall, lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. Best of all - and not mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen - they've got a great little garden out the back, we were in there with the kids on Saturday evening, it is a pretty strange experience at first to eat curry in the garden (you expect a dark room with flock wallpaper?), but deffo a great choice for this time of year, especially as it's BYOB, too! Keep up the good work, Suruchi.

Yer basic neighbourhood curry house. Decor tired but food very good, and very familiar! Bring your own booze (love it, saves a fortune). Staff friendly.

We were treated poorly. No napkins. Poor customer service. The person serving was rude. Food took over an hour and a half. Portions were too small ( lacked flavour) and cost way more than where i would get food. Don't waste your time going here! Disappointing overall. I will not be coming back

I go here most weeks and really like it. Of course being able to take my own choice of wine helps that. The food is really not at all bad and I am surprised by some of the reviews which don't rate it all that highly. In my view it is above average for Indian restaurants. But it is the ambiance where it scores so well. There are lit candles on every table and from the outside it looks so inviting. The tables have tablecloths and the serviettes are also proper linen! The only slight problem is the parking is restricted until 8 pm on match nights so do look at the signs very carefully!

Love it. Fairly standard Indian food, but very, very nice. Staff are great. Prices are good. What can I say, I am happy doing takeaway or eating in there. Vindaloo is the best.

I have got takeaway from here a few times, the food is always excellent!

bought vegetarian dishes that were tasteless delivered not eat in, normally the food is ok but i will not be buying fro there again

I regularly get takeaway from here and eat in now and again. Food is excellent, one of my favourite in London. I’m vegetarian also and they’re very accommodating to veggies and vegans. Also it’s remarkably priced for the quality. Massively recommend. The people who work there are great too. V friendly.

Food is fantastic..best Indian restaurant I've been too in a long time.

I’m reading these reviews and thinking... Are some of these reviewers eating from the same place as me. OK, the place could do with a bit of a revamp but it doesn’t takeaway how tasty the food is. Highly recommend the butter chicken

Sauces were waterery (lamb passanda and prawn journal)

The blandest curry i have ever eaten. And the daal was watery. Nil points

Great local Indian restaurant and extremely reasonable. 4 of us had a great meal here for less than £10 each. Was particularly impressed when a neighbouring table's child started screaming and having a tantrum (which the parents ignored), the waiter went over and had a word. Have never seen that before in any restaurant but was extremely grateful. Will definitely be coming back many times.

My partner and I often go here as it's up the road and convenient. Service is friendly and so far we've never had a bad meal, it's always been tasty. You have to take your own booze, but there are plenty of shops nearby. They could tidy up the beer garden a bit to make it more pleasant but all in all its a good local.

Tasty food and wonderful relaxing dining experience

One of the most tasteless Indian meals we have ever had.

I may be a little bias because I used to come here with my father when I was around 5 or 6, but the food is still amazing, the staff still recognised me and the place has hardly changed. So great to re-live fond memories!

Indian food does not taste like this at all. The chicken here was like rubber. The Sev Puri was dipped in cold curd and lots of salt. The biryani was tasteless. The only thing this place has going for itself is the Bollywood music which was a bit decent. No alcohol although they allow you to bring your own.

Very discreet little restaurant. But service and food is good
