Taste Of Nawab in Barnet

Absolutely amazing experience. The food was full of authentic flavor and prepared to suit individual tastes. The ambiance was warm and inviting. Staffs (Abdul and Rana) were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about every dish. It was my first visit and I was thoroughly impressed. Highly recommended for a top quality dining experience. Every detail, from presentation to service, exceeded expectations. Portions were generous, and the menu offered great variety.

fantastic indian restaurant recommended highly

Came back for visit to Muswell Hill - great food as always!

This has been our favourite restaurant since we moved to the area over 10 years ago. Many happy memories and AMAZING food! They always take the time to ask you how you’re doing and get to know their customers. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a delicious curry with a lovely family run atmosphere

Very homely atmosphere food is amazing and staff are very hospitable

Otra excelente comida en casa de Abdul. Comida de alta calidad y muy sabrosa, servicio atento y personal, y gran valor.

I recently moved to the area and found this gem opposite my place. I go there often for takeaway and staff is very friendly and uncle Abdul is very sweet. The food is very nice and flavourful. I once asked them to make Aloo Gosht, something not in the menu, without hesitation they made it for me. I recognise coming this restaurant if your in the area. Regards, Qasim.

This is our favourite local restaurant, with great service and delicious food. Always friendly and welcoming! We have been going for years

Lovely food, great atmosphere and fantastic service! Thanks, we will be back again

The perfect local Indian to either eat in or take away. Food and hospitality is always spot on and we will continue to come back !

Amazing food and service. Top quality, will definitely be coming again, best Indian I’ve had in a while

Food was delicious and service phenomenal. Thanks!

I come here regularly. Always great food and service. Abdul is a wonderful host.

Gran comida, personal atento, disfrutamos de cada plato. Sin duda volvería de nuevo. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Abdul and his staff are very special people, too. Don’t think twice, just come! I’ll be back for sure.

Everything was perfect from start to finish! Special mention to all the staff that was super kind and generous. 100% recommended place if you are in the area!

Great food, amazing service, we received the wrong dish and they let us keep the wrong dish! Was so delicious. Also cool that they put allergens on the menu!

I had placed an order for delivery, the delivery was good. the quality of the food was the very opposite. My mixed grill was tasteless and dry. And the prawns were cold. I not complain often but if I have to pay over £40 then I expect that it should be ok. And this did not meet our expectations and standards. I would not place any orders here in the future. I hope it was a one time thing, and sure others might have different experiences. But ours was not a positive one.

This is THE BEST Indian Restaurant to go to. I have tried a few in the area and every time have thought ‘it’s not as good as taste of nawab’. Not only the food, but the service, is what keeps me from coming back. I am not local to the area anymore but will drive the distance to make sure I have it. Thank you so much Taste of Nawab team ❤️

Colin Rickard and family enjoyed one of the best Indian meals they have had for a long time in this delightful restaurant in Muswell Hill. Abdul gave us a very warm welcome and ensured our visit was one they would remember. The food was of the highest standard and very well presented. The Lamb Korai was spicey and filled with the most succulent lamb I've had. Everything was just right, down to the light and fluffy pilau rice and the freshly baked Peshwari Nan bread. What a great meal. Thankyou Abdul, I hope the people of Muswell Hill will appreciate the little gem which is right on their doorstep. Looking forward to our next visit already. I'd love to try the Lamb Madras on our next visit. We had the opportunity to visit Abduls restaurant again on Wednesday 9th April 2025. We were greeted by the charming Mitul who has the loveliest smile and looked after our table. We had a glorious meal and the Lamb Madras was everything I hoped for. Thank you Abdul for your kindness, we had the most enjoyable time and splendid food.

Very lovely staff, amazing food and overall great evening!

Abdul and his team give a consistently warm welcome every time we visit. The food is always delicious and the service is top notch. We can't praise the whole experience any more highly.

With only a 20 hour layover, and a hankering for a good Indian curry, the in-laws sped us straight from Heathrow to the Taste of Nawab, and the effusively welcoming handshake of Mr Abdul. Each of us expats (Brits living in the USA) ordered something different from the menu and heartily tucked in to an array of aromatics, tender meats, and tasty vegetables. Every mouthful was a “welcome home.” Abdul is a humble, welcoming, and generous gentleman. His lovely team and establishment has been a favourite of our extended family for decades. We are never ever disappointed by our visits. Try it out, it’s scrumptious. No photos, because jet lag isn’t pretty. :)

Very respectful and good staff and management Food is awesome

Lovely food, large portions. Friendly delivery. First delivery from here - will order again!

Owner is heart warming and makes sure of the customers well being !

We usually order takeaways from Taste of Nawab, but for my birthday party, I opted to cater with them. I must say this was the best decision I've ever made. I visited the restaurant two days before the event to inform them that I needed food for 25 guests. The food was delivered on time in stainless steel containers, as I requested no plastic packaging. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and I received numerous compliments about it. I would certainly choose them again for future events.

Really tasty food, the lamb tikka was delicious. Only downside is the spice/flavour level was a bit mild. I’m sure it’s to accommodate the British palate. Next time I’m asking for a bit more punch, a bit more Bengali 🔥 Thank you Abdul!

This review is long overdue! My wife and I eat out regularly, and we know great food when we see and taste it—especially when it comes to South Asian cuisine. Taste of Nawab has truly earned our respect as one of the top restaurants in North West London and has quickly become one of our favorites. The food is prepared with incredible care and attention, and the hospitality—particularly from the owner—is outstanding. We’ve been recommending this restaurant to friends and family, and every visit leaves us looking forward to another refreshing and delicious meal.

The food was superb no wonder this restaurant wins awards! Honestly the best Indian food I’ve head in years! Thank you!

We recently visited this family-run restaurant for a special celebration, and it was a truly wonderful experience. It was my first time trying this type of cuisine, and I was excited to explore new flavours. From the start, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. We ordered a variety of starters and mains, and everything arrived together just as we had requested. The presentation was nice, and the flavours were well-balanced—warm and spicy, yet allowing the true taste of the ingredients to shine through. At the end of our meal, the owner surprised us with a heartfelt, personalised birthday song, which was such a sweet moment. It was also my first time dining at a place where you can bring your own alcoholic drinks, which added to the relaxed and enjoyable experience. Overall, we felt genuinely valued as customers, and the combination of great food, thoughtful service, and a cosy setting made for a fantastic evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food and a warm, friendly dining.

Food was 40 minutes late and so not very warm. It didn’t taste very good either. For an Indian meal it was rather bland.

Friendly and welcoming staff. The food is really good quality for a "high street" Indian restaurant. Good flavours coming through and everything well prepared. Naan breads were a bit sweet for my taste. Its a relatively small space, so it gets busy, so book in advance. Also means the volume levels can raise a bit. There were losts of customer collections for takeaways too, so thats always an option if you cant get seated.

Great staff & great food, definitely will come again!

Takeaways from this place are among the best I have ever eaten. I live in Norfolk but used to live near Luton so was used to good Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants... when I travel to North London to see family I always get a takeaway and the place is heaving with happy customers, Outstanding - love the non-bright red Tandoori - natural colour and wonderful flavour.

Superb food and always a great, warm welcome. Thank you!

absolutely fantastic , 1st time ordering from here definitely ordered again

Excellent food as always and delivery service

The food and service here are excellent! Would highly recommend for authentic cuisine!

Amazing food and service as always.

Food was delicious and I shall be ordering from here again in future. Thank you

The food was fantastic and accompanied with great service.

We had to wait a while for the food, but it was well worth it, fantastic food

Taste Of Nawab has won awards for its food, and for very good reason. This is the best Indian food around. Utterly delicious, beautifully cooked, reasonable prices, and one of the nicest owners you could ever meet. Definitely order here!!

Fantastic as always, really good quality meal…the best Curry in N10

The Taste of Nawab is a true gem for Indian cuisine, offering an unforgettable dining experience with exquisite flavours and exceptional customer service. From the most beautifully cooked tandoori chicken, to the fragrant, perfectly spiced lamb jalfrezi, every dish is a masterpiece, complemented by freshly baked naan and crispy papadoms. Beyond the food, the attentive and knowledgeable staff ensure a top-tier experience, accommodating special requests with genuine hospitality. Whether for a special occasion or a casual craving, the Taste of Nawab is a must-visit, leaving you eager to return. Truly sensational and one of the best Indian restaurants in London.

Lovely family meal here for my husband’s birthday, and we were not disappointed. Abdul Rahman the owner and all the staff looked after us so well and made us feel welcome even though our 2 and 4 year old kids were very restless! The food was fresh, good quality and delicious. Not pretentious or in any way modern (it could possibly have been presented better), but literally speaks for itself. My chicken dish was full of flavour and I polished it off. Best peshwari naan I had had for a while and the lamb chops were generous and melt-in-the-mouth. Good mild options for kids too and loved the coconut surprise ice cream! Overall a really lovely meal and the restaurant was full on a Wednesday night. Say no more really.

great place with great staff. brilliant food would definitely recommend

Came here for dinner with my husband on Valentine's Day. This restaurant had been on our list of places to visit for years and finally made it here. The place was beautifully decked out for Valentine's Day and every girl was given a red rose upon departure. The staff were very friendly and attentive and prices were really different. The mixed grill was lovely and the breads were soft. A lovely dinner.

Just a lovely place to eat wonderful Indian cuisine! Abdul the owner is such a charming host and treats all his clients the same. A lovely experience to be had by all customers. The menu is very extensive and truly varied with lots of authentic dishes, you cannot fail to like something here. Have been coming here for some time now and have never been disappointed . All of the staff are so pleasant and helpful, which makes it a place you will want to visit again. Make a point to visit, you won't be disappointed.

I was happy with 3 out of the 4 dishes ordered. Unfortunately the pakoras were extremely oily and the batter had no flavor and was soggy. Not real pakoras.more like fritters. The chicken tikka , Rogan and chat was nice 👍 Delivery late but it was valentines night and was given a Rose 🌹 which was a great touch. Thank you

Brilliant food and service couldn’t ask for more from a restaurant. Abdul and his staff go above and beyond to make every occasion as special as possible. Well worth a visit. Thanks Abdul

Fabulous food, fantastic and attentive staff, couldn’t do more. Have been a few times now and looking forward to our next visit.

The friendliest people & the tastiest food!! Our favourite Indian food in London :)

Always a great curry from Taste of Nawab, been coming here for years, never disappoints, delivered with a smile and even came with a rose today for Valentine’s Day.

Consistently great food and service - we love this local Indian restaurant

I’ve ordered takeaway from Taste of Nawab before, and have also eaten in recently. Both times, the food has been delicious and portion sizes excellent. However, I’d recommend dining in for the best experience. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The owner in particular was very keen to make our experience special and offered us free dessert (we were stuffed so declined), and chocolates with our bill. Would recommend!

We've been several times and I've reviewed before but I feel it's only fair to do update. We visited again last night and once again it was fantastic. Everyone cleared their plates both starters and mains. I live just outside of Bradford West Yorkshire which is considered the place to be in the UK for curry. Honestly this place is as good as anything you will get in Bradford. Really well prepared and good quality ingredients. The portion sizes are spot on and the staff are all lovely.

Cozy place, amazing service and the food was genuinely the best Indian i’ve had. Ever. 10/10 experience

Love the food here. Will definitely be ordering again.

Went here for my daughter’s birthday. Food was amazing and service was exceptional. Highly recommended

Once again excellent and hot tasty food and delivery service.

I love The Taste of Nawab. I can recommend the meat and vegetarian options. The ingredients are so fresh, the flavours are delicious. Abdul is the best. He is so kind and makes you feel like the most important person in the room.

Always great quality, good value & some lovely extras again, that's why we go back ❤️✨

Food was hot and tasted really good! Well prepared. Thanks

Always delicious food and a warm, friendly welcome from Abdul and his staff! When in my elder daughter visited us from the USA, and brought her boyfriend to meet us for the first time, she insisted on a takeaway from Taste of Nawab as soon as they arrived - boyfriend was so suitably impressed that he has since asked her to marry him! As for younger daughter, I think she only agrees to visit us when we promise her a takeaway from Taste of Nawab - at least, she always insists on one. We also love eating up the leftovers on the next day. You won't find a better meal.

Very nice Lamb Biryani, great service and lovely ambience. 100% recommended

They came much earlier than expected and the delivery driver needs to work on his customer service. No matter who you deliver to, standards shouldn’t slip. Anyway the curry was ok.. but the lamb chops was fatty and undercooked I had to throw it away.. the best thing was the garlic Nan bread which was delicious and soft so overall it’s a 4/10. They rushed the cooking process, which I can tell as I have ordered food from here before and it was nothing like last night :/

Outstandingly good as always! Thank you for a lovely dinner 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Would like to say a huge thankyou to abdul for all his help and friendly services! During the gas being off around N10, everyone who came in contact with him had nothing but good things to say as he was giving back very generously to the community and he sorted me and a colleague out with some free food which delicious! So a huge thankyou from everyone❤️ - the gas lads

Lovely delicious food and excellent delivery service

Our second visit . Excellent food , lovely atmosphere and perfect service, warm friendly tip top

Excellent food, really brilliant service with incredibly attentive staff. Truly lovely experience, will absolutely be returning

Excellent food and they provided a few extras. Only problem was due to Just Eat rather than the restaurant, who left out our door number, no option to add it in. No way to connect or chat to put the number in? No fault of the restaurant.

I have recently moved into the area and wanted to try the local curry house. My first time going in, the staff were really welcoming and friendly and the food was great. My second time, I requested a dish that was not on their menu, but they offered to make it anyway, and the taste was great. I'm pleased they are across the street from me, I'll be recommending this place to my friends.

Just celebrated my sisters 14th birthday with family and friends here. Absolutely lovely and amazing staff and ownership, and the food is perfect. Best place in town. Would reccomend if celebrating or if you just like friendly food.

Really amazing food. We had the veg korma, veg Kashmir, veg madras, onion bhaji, coconut rice and mushroom. Great quality and taste. Loved it!

Delicious and wonderfully tasty food and lovely service. Highly recommend

Impressed the food was nice and good value and delivered exactly at the delayed time we had requested.

Taste of Nawab is such a fantastic restaurant, not only is the food fantastic but everyone who works at the restaurant are kind, polite and very very hard working! The owner is incredibly generous and he highlighted this by offering a free dinner for everyone who was still affected by having no gas, heating and hot water as soon as the restaurant was up and running from having the same issue. He deserves every success and I hope to see his business grow even further in the future!

Friendly staff great service lovely food not too expensive highly recommended 👌 👍

Had a fantastic meal here last Friday. Great menu, good value ( bring your own alcohol). Best to book in advance, it was packed the evening we were there.

Always reliable, always delicious, always great quality

Absolutely fantastic place, best Indian in North London - we loved it - delicious!

One of the best resturent in london The food is delicious. The staff is so lovely and nice. It clean. And hat off to owner the way he take care is lovely.

delicious meal - they catered to me being vegan with no issues at all. very friendly staff. we even got free deserts which were delicious. would 100% recommend and will be returning!

Fantastic restaurant and friendly atmosphere

My parents used to order from here when I was growing up, forgot how good it was. Will definitely order again!

Great food and very friendly staff, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some authentic curry!

First time ordering from here and the food was amazing will definitely be ordering again

Store & use your phone number without consent to send spams for years. Will never order from here again. Not worth the hassle for the average food.

I have visited Taste of Nawab several times and have always had a great experience. The food and service have always been excellent and Abdul the manager is always very friendly. I can highly recommend the Lamb Rogan. It is also very good value for money and lots of options on the menu.

I live around the corner of Brick Lane so I know what I'm talking about when saying that this place is much much better and a lot better priced. Excellent service and quality of food

Just great food. Lovely selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. The spicing is delicious. Thank you Abdul for a great evening with marvellous food.

Always Highly Recommended….@ a lovely food with your taste.☺️

As always..@ great food n good taste 🥘

Came here for dinner on December 24th and had an amazing experience. My father ordered the chicken tika masala and it was my favorite dish, while I had the Korai panner, and I absolutely loved it. For me, it ties for best Indian food restaurant Ive been to. I totally recommend it.

Just love the food. 🥘 as always.

Outstanding customer care and service, with wonderful food. The sag paneer (we prefer cubed, not creamed) genuinely tastes fresh, and the paneer naga chilli is a dish we love and haven't seen elsewhere (with Scotch Bonnet peppers - we order it less hot). It deserves its high rating. Abdul really cares about his customers and the community - we've even been invited to a buffet night on the house for regular customers.
