The food is exceptionally good. The lamb chops are delicious as is the chaat. The Naans are melt in your mouth. The crispy cauliflower is amazing 🤩

Beckenham/ Elmer end’ has a nice little curry club. Full of favourite. A nice restaurant doing a good job I would recommend some of their fish and seafood curry’s. Nan breads cooked fresh on site and staff at hand all your visit.

My family and I had a bereavement in the family. We ordered food for 50 people The order included tandoori chicken, byriani, salad etc It was very tasty and went down well with the family. The order had arrived on time and was very warm. Thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely order again in the not so distant future. Keep up the great work. Mrs Motiya Rahman and family

Ordered 3 different curries, all full of water. Saag paneer was inedible, worse thing I’ve ever tasted, no where near a saag paneer taste. Rices were hard. Breads were flat and hard. Garlic naan wasn’t made with fresh garlic. Just had garlic granules sprinkled on-top so tasted nasty and burnt. Samosas were soggy.

The worst Indian restaurant and service I have ever come across. After placing an order at 7 pm and waiting an hour and 40 minutes I thought I would call the restaurant. They were extremely rude and told me that it would be another 20 minutes. I asked them why they had put on the just eat that it had already been delivered and continued to be rude to me. My partner than spoke to them and they just kept on saying 20 minutes 20 minutes but we could hear someone in the background it sounded like they had not even started the order yet and the location was about 17 minutes from your house. I was not prepared to wait any longer. They are extremely rude and I will never be ordering from here again. Thank God I opted for cash as I intend to turn away the driver when he eventually arrives.

Sorry to say that standard of the food has declined greatly. I’ve been a regular for a few years. But the meal I had from here very recently I ended up throwing most of it away. The tarka daal was far too salty- ? Msg ? Aloo Gobi cauliflower was like water ! Matir paneer was too unbalanced flavours ! Lot of tomato I wonder if chefs have changed - anyway I won’t be ordering here again.

AVOID. really so disappointing, all dishes were poorly made, lacked flavour, errors made in order. mostly in the bin unfortunately, id rather eat toast. cant be classed as curry. save your money and avoid. my advice would be to cut your menu and perfect those dishes; much better off.

First order through Deliveroo for a while, no idea where the ratings on their app come from but ‘4.5 Excellent’ for Curry Club was way off the mark. Half the dishes were nearly inedible, nothing tasted fresh and leftovers went in the bin. Really poor value, disappointed.

I placed an order, told it would be 50 minutes, the time was then extended to between 8.30 and 8.50. At 9.10 I started to call to see where my delivery was, unfortunately I couldn't get through as the phone was just ringing. After 14 attempts I got in my car and went to the shop to be told it was on its way. The attitude of the staff felt like they just wanted me out of there shop. They curry arrived at 9.30, when it arrived it was cold, 4 different currys and none of them was marked so it was trial and error. Will never use this place again

I have been going to Curry Club for many years, their food and value is great. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Jalfrezi, Peshwari naan (the best), Chicken Biryani, Aloo Saag and more are delicious. There has been some negative comments on here, but truss me they had nothing better to do but write rubbish. Curry Club is the best in the area by far.

We ordered a takeaway to collect and the food was absolutely great. The change to the chicken muli where it was flavoured with Barbecue seasoning was very much appreciated and enjoyed. The food was still hot and fresh by time we got to Enfield. Just wished they delivered to our area as it would definitely be a weekly treat. The staff in the takeaway were also very friendly and polite. Will definitely trying to work out a way to have more takeaways from here. I did not feel the food was overpriced at all considering the quality of the food, freshness and how lovely it all was to enjoy.

Food was ready in timely manner. Biryani definitely tasted different (good way) then what we get in USA. Chicken Tikka was so soft and juicy to eat. I will definitely order again during my stay in London.

El personal aquí no tiene respeto, son asquerosamente groseros y la comida sabe a zapato viejo. Había un hombre que era muy agresivo (claramente trae sus inseguridades para trabajar con él) y era extremadamente abusivo verbalmente. Lo siento por un hombre tan pequeño que actúa así, pero no es aceptable. Si la comida no deja un sabor agrio y amargo en la boca, puedo garantizar que el servicio lo hará. Les ruego a todos los que ven esto que no les den a estas personas la costumbre, no se lo merecen. La única estrella que estoy obligado a dar es ser generoso.

Both me and my partner laughed when we read the reviews on TripAdvisor regarding Curry club - they cook up one of the best, cheapest and most consistent curries that we’ve ordered for ages and we are curry lovers!!!! One of the things we like about Curry Club’s curries are the fresh ingredients and many different flavours these guys seem to conjure from their constantly frying kitchen woks and pans - right in front of the till prepped in their open kitchen.... don’t get me wrong this is not the swankiest of restaurants but these curries are a tastebud sensation.

Please save your money and take out elsewhere. We had a terrible experience where half of our order arrived and was incorrect. When we called to ask them to resend what was missing, and the fact we’d paid for it, we were basically told “tough”. When I said that this isn’t right and it was unfair, the manager started shouting at me down the phone and became increasingly aggressive, telling me to take it up with Uber Eats, blaming their driver even though they were the ones who packed the bag incorrectly. Completely incompetent, aggressive and NO customer service to speak of. Naturally, we refuse to order from there ever again. Also the food that did arrive was bland and cold. Don’t bother.

The Curry Club is not new to us and before our last experience, it’s been great. However, today it really went downhill. My girlfriend and I ordered meals, she is pescatarian and her curry came with chicken instead of king prawn. As she would know prawns taste like. We’ve let the restaurant know about the mix-up, were told it would come shortly, asked to pack the wrong order back into the container as the driver would need to bring it back to the restaurant. So as the driver arrives, examines the meal visually and assures her it is king prawn meal, he was persistent and rude, asking her to get a piece of cutlery and try it again in front of him. Well, this is not right. Now, nobody should be forced to be trying anything in front of someone to prove the point, especially food that is against someones believes to eat. Now she was too polite, tried the food again but he would continue arguing that it is not what she tastes. I was appalled by this and went to the door to see what is going on, seeing my concerned face he suddenly became more cooperative. And this is sad that a petite woman has to be backed up by a man while getting take away food or anywhere else in fact. Calling back the restaurant about this didn’t do much either. Now, I am leaving this review here not for the sake of dropping a complaint, I don’t do that, neither my girlfriend does. This is to let the restaurant and customers know that nobody should be put into a situation like this. It is wrong, it is against of customer’s rights and quite frankly a distressful experience.

Wanted to try this place for a while as we always drive past. Went in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. It was empty so there really wasn’t any excuse for the poor service. Ordered the fire wings and the biryani. The wings and the biryani tasted the same, overpowering taste of cardamom. I love Indian street food but this just wasn’t it. After eating the waitress disappeared upstairs and no lie we waited 15 minutes for the bill in an empty restaurant. I think she has to go upstairs for something, tried calling for her but no luck. Could have walked out with paying. Very poor management

We booked a table for 8pm on a Saturday evening and were surprised to find the restaurant completely empty. Needless to say we had no trouble being seated. The restaurant was clean and tidy and the service was efficient in terms of waiting time between meals etc, but then we did have the restaurant to ourselves so I wouldn't have expected anything less! The food was good although the starter we chose was a little pricey at £4.50 for a few tiny bites size pieces of spiced lamb (Botti Kebab). I ordered lamb dhansak, pilau rice and a tandoori roti, I have no complaints about the food. The meat was lean and tender and the dish was perfectly spiced for my taste. My partner order the kajal Special Biryani, which was really tasty. The accompanying vegetable curry was especially good. We never guessed that this dish would cause us so much grief when it came to paying the bill though! Read on....! My partner ordered a very nice and refreshing mango kulfi whilst I finished the meal off with a coffee, then it was time to ask for the bill. We had advised the restaurant on booking that we had a Taste card and would be taking advantage of their buy one get one free offer (ADVERTISED ONLINE). The bill did not correctly reflect this, only allowing us a discount of £4.50 off the bill (the price of one starter). We questioned this and was surprised to be told that they hadn't allowed us a free main dish because they don't classify the biryani as a 'main dish'! EH?! On politley asking the waiter, what did they classify the biryani as? A starter? A dessert? - we received a sly smile and a promise to get the bill sorted. I have probably made this experience sound a lot less painful than it actually was, since it took about 15 minutes of increasingly heated debate and some unprofessional raised voices from the kitchen area in order to reach a solution. They eventually honoured the discount. This was our first time at the Kajal and to be honest it will probably be our last, which is a shame because the food was actually very good but I can't help thinking that if they cannot honour the discount, they should sign up to Taste in the first place. What is the point of having a Taste card when you're only getting £4.50 off? I think I now know why the restaurant was empty at 8pm on a Saturday night!!
