Taste of Asia in Islington

Tried this on recommendation, but a bit underwhelmed by the food, and service. For the price, I expected better. As Indians go, it was about average. Not Bad, but not that good either.

IT'S CLOSED DOWN I contacted openable prior to my booking as I was concerned bed at the last review. I was basically told 'pop along oh and let us know if its closed thanks.' Well it is closed. Maybe now you could stop taking bookings and thanks for ruining my birthday.

Amazing starters and good main meals. Was very good value, however the menu we were given (which we then got 50% off) was a lot more expensive than the one being shown outside to bring customers in. That said, enjoyable meal and would return.

Superb food! Good balance of spice and herbs and food was early and very hot. The chicken was very well marinated and the sauce was unique. Received free spring rolls :)

Amazing food! The grill was perfect, not overburnt and cooked properly. I’ve tried a lot indian food but this one is special, will definitely be ordering from here again. They even gave me free Samosas and papdums!

In London due to Personnal reasons and staying local, fancied an Indian. Friendly service, food was good but didn’t sell alcohol. Got beer from across the road to drink which was cool. A chap came back whilst I was here looking at menu who said had a take away in the week, so although not many people eating gave me encouragement to eat here. Masala sauce was runnier than I’m used too but soaked lovely into my pilau rice. Very attentive and would pop back again when next up town.

Another great meal tonight and efficient delivery Service.

Very nice meal tonight and excellent service.

Curry tasteless and as sweet as a desert. No flavour. Ruined the birthday party. Son is crying now, nice one.

In spite of the bad reviews, that was not our experience. This was very close to our hotel and we ended up going twice. My wife does not eat meat, so we tried the Tandoori Salmon, which we both enjoyed very much. We also had a vegetable Pasanda which was very nice. I can't remember what we ordered the second time, but the got the salmon again, and a couple of other dishes, and they were also very tasty.

Delicious food, generous portions and very reasonable. Can't wait to go back this is a little gem!!!

Food wasnt deliver at all!! Rude driver! Waste of time!! Usless marked as completed!!!

What a great little Find! I was craving Indian food so took a wander around London before going back to my hotel and I came across this place. Veggie options are plentiful and the curries are delicious - you can really taste the complex flavours. I'm a massive spice fan so it was nice to have a hot curry that wasn't shy on actual flavour. I'll definitely be back.

Disappointed with the food this time, as previously they food tasted way better. The naan bread tasted quite sour, it was hard and chewy. Also the tarka dhall didn't taste right. Don't know if it was because the food was cooked by a different chef or whether it was rushed as the restaurant was closing soon, (even though we had ordered 2 hrs before).The mixed grill however was okay.

Fabulous vegetarian food with great flavour and quick friendly delivery - perfect!

Ordered two meals from this restaurant, no taste to both meals, very blan, watery waste of money straight in the bin.. never again!

Really nice restaurant and they kept me informed about delays!

30 minutes late. Asked for cutlery and they forgot, was unable to eat where I was. They didn't compensate or offer a voucher

They didn’t bring our full order and said they would refund but haven’t do far

The foods great and the staff are really helpful and polite.

Food was very good but arrived 1.5 hours after ordering at which point we were starving.

Nice food as usual but really annoyed not to receive the drink i paid for even though i put a reminder in the special instructions section.

Lamb jalfrezi far too spicy, aloo paratha too thick and uncooked, lamb tikka very nice

Excellent food. Will order again.

most disgusting food i ever had orderd mixed grill and they just send me a piece of chicken really disappointed

The food is very delicious, but the delivery time varies. One day it will arrive just on time, the next it might be nearly 45 minutes late.

Watery curry with no thickness or taste just oily. Didn't bother to put fork tissue etc pakoras tasted microwaved, not fresh..

Surprisingly tasted beyond average. The jalfrezi did taste great but very little lamb pieces. I counted it and was just 5 pieces the rest was full of onions and 2 strips of pepper.

Food was really disgusting very unhealthy all the food was full of artificial color the meat it self in ide when you break it is all colour. I am Asian my self and I cook at home there so I honestly know that this food was not right the biryani was bad and the mix grill was even worse. All the tandoori chicken no and the mix grill was just full of colors no flaivour of taste or smell. This restaurant don’t care what they give to their customer.

Great food and service with a smile 😊

Didn't bring me 3 of my items and then refused go refund them.

Delicious food and quick delivery. I’m glad they have their old menu back 😊

Tacky looking restaurant, poor heating. Food was decent for the money paid but wouldn’t return.

Delivery early, friendly service, food arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. Prawn puri was to die for 😍 100% recommended.

So appalled with this restaurant. The order was 25 minutes late, all the salad was missing, instead of two curly fries we were given potato wedges and the sweet potato Fries were completely missing. We chose this place for my birthday meal but never again. Really not a good place for service

Good food with some interesting non-standard items on the menu. We had two courses and nothing was left uneaten. They have no licence but are happy for you to bring your own. With the 50% offer and beer bought from the off licence across the road the value was exceptional.

Flavoursome and varied, fantasies meal, have ordered again.

Booked through open table, supposedly half price but works out to cost exactly as the 3 course offer as displayed outside. It is a small place with about half a dozen tables & what I assume to be a very small kitchen that only prepare one dish at a time. The wait for everyone was unbearably long even for people who had pre-ordered for collection had to wait 40+ minutes. The poppadoms were okay but after that it was all downhill. Vegetable Biryani was made with frozen vegetables tiny pieces of green beans cauliflower, carrot & sweetcorn with rice & very harsh flavours like the spices hadn't been cooked out. Other curries in the group were equally hotter & harsher versions of you would normally expect. And all the time we kept getting wafts of dirty toilet odour at our nearby table. Will never return

Nous avons manger à ce restaurant à quelques pas de notre hébergement. L'accueil est très amical. Pour ma part j'ai pris un Biryani aux légumes qui était très bon et goûteux. Conseils par contre : les papadam que l'on vous propose au début du repas sont délicieux mais payants, sans que ce soit précisé évidemment, contrairement aux restaurants indiens que je connais en France. N'ouvrez pas non plus la bouteille d'eau sur la table qui vous sera aussi facturée. Bref on a bien mangé, mais on est reparties un peu amères de s'être fait avoir de la sorte. On ira ailleurs pour notre prochain voyage à Londres.

the sweet potato chips were soggy, the salad was not a salad (1 slice of cucumber ,1/8 of a tomato plus few trims of lettuce- like 20 grams ). meat was good overall

I love this restaurant always a pleasure to visit and really lovely food I have tried so many different dishes and happy with every think I have had so beautiful best curry in the hole of kings cross and as I live by I can say that from Debbie and dave

Very good quality food. Very good value. Friendly staff

Good service and great value. Tasty curry, tandoori and tikka. Probably not cheapest in Kings Cross but worth visiting with the 50% off discount.

Cafe like atmosphere. Couldn't fault the food though. Tomy

Food was hot, tasty and on time - great service.

The food was delicious. I loved everything to bits. They gave me a traditional pot with the Kulfi ice cream, loved it so much

The food was absolutely outstanding, perfectly spiced and the addition of chilli in the onion salad added a great flavour to it. Also a very friendly, quick and reliable delivery service!

I’ve ordered food from here many times and I’m always impressed with the quality. Delicious, some of the finest Indian food I’ve ever had.

Always order from here. Staff are nice and food is delicious

Wrong food , Lamb Sag didn't have any Lamb in it.

Food was very good, and the guy's I spoke to one the phone were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic, as always. Sometimes they include additional items for free, which is always a nice surprise!

great biryani would highly recommend people to order and the korai was nice also. keep up the great quality food which is rare to find in this area.

Very tasty and quick reliable delivery service, great!

Great flavoursome food perfectly spiced and seasoned with very quick delivery, perfect!

Amazing food!! thank u was early 20 minuets!! was happy!! always going to order your amazing food!! second time ordered it! ordering every weekend!! 😁😁😁😁

Great tasting food as always - they even included free onion bhajis with our order! 10/10 would recommend.

I wanted a quick evening meal near my hotel and this was the nearest Indian. The board outside advertised four courses for £11.95 which is good value in London. The interior is contemporary with hand painted flowers on the walls, fresh but not sophisticated. My four courses consisted of a popodom, a started, a curry and a nan. The popodom was cold and stale and came with only two dishes, one a spicy yogurt and one was mango chutney. The starter was two onion bhajees which were freshly cooked and delicious. Sadly the salad that they came with was not fresh, the cucumber was going brown. the Chicken Korma was generous, hot and delicious as was the nan bread. The service was good and quick. If you are eating here stick to the freshly cooked dishes, avoid popodoms and salad. I asked for a glass of wine but they don't serve it, I presumed this might be for religious reasons but later noticed there was lager in the counter fridge, so do they have a drinks license or not? There was bottled water on the table but it is not free, if you drink it you will be charged over £3. Luckily I did ask and they supplied me with a smaller bottle for £1.95.

The butter chicken is a chicken korma. Disappointing as that was the only curry I ordered. It wasn't a bad korma but I don't like korma's so couldn't finish it. The onion bhaji's were absolutely delicious though!

There was a mix-up with a previous order but Jamal ended up including a free sundry as compensation. Great restaurant, great management, love their food!

Very flavoursome and delicious!

Tasty food good portions delivered early and hot despite the freezing weather. Really pleased we will definitely be ordering again

Food was not as good as theast few times

The food was really good, but the chicken tasted funny. Didn't want to risk it, so chose not to eat it. However, the naan bread and the Korma sauce was very good. I will definitely try them again, despite bad luck this time.

The order was an hour late. Only offered some papadum to apologize. The rest of the order was not even correct, wrong rice and jagged naans..

Amazing food, the chicken curry smelt good and tasted even better! I had it with their chicken biriyani which was very delicious. Would definitely order from there again!

Food arrived luke warm. Actually delivered an extra dish! Food was tasty and good quality although portions were on the small side.

such fast delivery! amazing chicken tikka!

We were staying in the area and looking for a place to eat, feeling like Indian we went for the nearest, which was the Taste of Asia. It is not a fancy place, but the staff were very friendly and the food was really nicely cooked. Recommend especially the prawn puree and the lamb jalfrezi. Good option for authentic taste, convenient in the king's cross area.

Fantastic restaurant. I have ordered from here many times and I would highly recommend.

Excellent service! Delivery man came early and the food was very hot! The flavours were perfect, and I enjoyed every single bit of it. Definitely will order again!

The Chicken tikka Masala was superb 👍🏼 I really enjoyed my last dinner of 2017 Happy New Year Taste Of Asia💯💯

- drink missing - oil everywhere - food was cold - got the wrong address - 30 mins late

Excellent food & delivered on time.Order again soon.

great food highly recommend there biryani it’s not really oily like other. would love a larger portion of it tho.

Absolutely delicious and really hot

superb. I’ve had food from here 3 times and never been disappointed, my compliments to the chef!

Nice restaurant, good service and able to get some alcoholic drinks from across the road. Great tasting food and fairly quick at arriving.

Was told an hour and then an extra half an hour was addedto delivery time. That said very good food, would order again

Food was delicious and delivered quickly with no problems

excellent food and service. first time I used them and will use again. thank you

excellent customer service from the manager, made my food exactly the way I wanted!!

Never fails to let down, food was delivered hot fresh and exceptionally delicious, Thank-you taste of Asia

Dish omitted. Refund not offered. Replacement arrived when we had finished eating

Good quality, great service.*****

After adding 10 mins on to the delivery time the food was still half an hour late & they forgot my drink. food was good.

Excellent price and quality! Would definitely order from here again

My first time using this restaurant.I have to say the meal was del iicious.Driver was nice and pleasantI .I would certainly use again.

On our way back to our Travelodge we were cold and hungry.The food at the Travelodge was not very appetising so decided to pop into the Taste of Asia as we passed. Not a great deal of atmosphere and quite cold. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed our food I did have an issue with the bill and normally if I had been less tired I would have brought this up with the manager.There was a bottle of water already on our table and several others in the restaurant.It is not unusual in Indian restaurants in Bradford or Leeds known as the curry curry capitals of the North for this to be complimentary so we opened it. While we were choosing our meal we were asked if we would like some poppadums Again we are used to these being complimentary and as we were not asked how many we would like again accepted them as complimentary. When the bill came it was obvious that unlike the Asian restaurants of note back home complimentary items are not a concept that appears to have migrated south. An arbitrary service charge was also added but I did not see any reference to this given any prominence on the menu - May have been in the small print Yes we enjoyed the food but the experience has ensured that we will be more 'switched on' in the future

The Balti King Prawn was very delicious 🤤And Food come very quickly also the food was warm. I really enjoyed my meal👍🏼👍🏼

Food came on time, it was hot and delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken biryani with tarka daal. I will definitely order from them again. Delicious!

Very pleasantly surprised. We had the dansak, mushroom rice, veg pakora and onion bhaji. It wasn't greasy and the flavours were very good.

Food was nice as always. Polite delivery driver too

What a cracking little find this place was. Food was superb and atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Can't fault it in any way. Indian food is not normally to my taste, but I enjoyed every single mouthful here. Totally recommended.

Delivered 30 minutes Late. Rang 3 times and everytime i rang the response was 'let me call the driver' which they did and little did they know that when they spoke to the delivery guy in their native bengali language i understood everything that was being said because i too am bengali!!!! All i will add to this is, be genuine guys, if the guys running late give the customer an honest answer as to how long the food will be!!! Also @AliBhai 'delivery guy' be off the phone when delivering especially when your late!!! Not professional at all! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DISCOUNT REFUND AS PROMISED BY THE GUY WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE!!! After all that, the food was good, customer service ruined the good food.

The food was amazing. The ice cream was delicious. The best ice cream ever. It’s unique just like the food.

I ordered food at 5 with a 50 minute delivery postedm I checked at 6 and the order said they had added 30 minutes to my delivery (didn't let me know.). My girlfriend had to go to class without dinner. Its now 6:55, and food has just arrived.
