Chai Naasto - Hammersmith in Richmond upon Thames

Used to go here all the time when I lived in the UK, the food is absolutely phenomenal. Massive portion sizes too, for 20£ you'll have enough food to keep you sated for days. 10/10, I miss being able to go here

Really nice evening, tasty food, fast friendly service

It was appalling to see these inside the ladies toilet. I visited the restaurant with my 2 year old child and was lucky to not have taken her to the toilet. It was a complete disaster. The food and service was 10/10 but pricing was quite high as compared to the portion size. But completely disappointed by what I saw in the restroom. Honestly I have not come across something of this sort even at the most basic places. Massive health and safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

Super food and great location. Decor was in keeping and the staff were very helpful

Patri is amazing! There were 5 of us and we ordered the huge sharing plate and it was delicious. Everyone who worked there were super friendly and attentive. I was recommended this place by a friend and it didn’t disappoint. Not least the fact that all the food plus three bottles of wine was still until £50 per person which for London is incredible.

Fantastic food...highly recommended three cheers to the patri team...deeply appreciate the service of Meshwa...only suggestion ..the biryani was blank can be more spicy and have more fillings... Keep up team

The food was appalling I have had better takeaways this ruined my daughters 40th birthday The only saving grace was the male waiter was helpful

Excellent welcome and service - superb food. Thank you.

Over all food taste was good, Jamoon is not really Jamoon, they really need to improve that, it was hard and rough texture.

Patri is EXCEPTIONAL indian food. The Thali especially - OMG!

The Kensington Curry Club held their November meeting at Patri where they enjoyed a very fine meal with great service from Franco and the team. Patri deserves their retention of a ‘Kensington Curry Club Commended’ award

First visit - we will definitely recommend to others and come back again Worth the few mins walk from the tube

Amazing food and great hospitality ..

Heartwarming and friendly service. Excellent food. Great experience!

Friendly and accomodating staff. Food top quality. Lovely place with nice atmosphere. We tried their Tali - recommend this. Meat and vegetarian options included.

Without a doubt one of the best most authentic Indian restaurants in the area. Highly recommend.

Vibe and atmosphere is very nice but Unfortunately, both the Paneer Butter Masala and Daal Makhni were rather disappointing. The Paneer Butter Masala lacked the rich, creamy texture and vibrant flavors we've come to expect. The paneer itself was slightly tough, and the gravy was thin and lacked depth. The Daal Makhni was similarly underwhelming. The gravy was bland and didn't have the characteristic richness and creaminess. While both dishes are usually crowd-pleasers, this experience fell short of expectations.

The best Indian food place I have been in London! This compliment comes from an Indian who lived most of her life in India- surely I know exactly what the authentic taste is!! Just pure bliss! Will definitely come back

Excellent authentic food with many unusual Indian dishes. Great quality and reasonable prices

Excellent Indian food and service! Stumbled upon and lucky to get a reservation. Highly recommend for this authentic experience!

Always a warm and friendly welcome here and excellent food.

We got the vegetarian grand thali and loved it!! Such a good experience and service was great.

The food was amazing and the staff are very helpful and nice. Highly recommend the Grand Thali.

Ordered via uber eats. Great dahl and curries were good. Really good that they have options for dish sizes.

Food was very good, but the prices on some of the items are way too over priced. £20 for a curry is too much. But the quality of the meat was very good.

Came here when the kids went to a concert at Hammersmith Apollo. Fantastic food, great portion sizes and throughly enjoyed it. 5 stars

Food was really good and real good portion sizes. Staff were friendly. We got to take away our leftovers in takeaway boxes.

We absolutely love Patri and as always, they did not disappoint on this visit either! We ordered pani puri for the first time as a starter and we were kindly shown how to eat these surprising little gems! I highly recommend Patri - wonderful local gem.

Definitely recommend! This is a place that offers a lot of options that you wouldn’t usually get in a British Indian Restaurant. This has a variety of vegetarian and meta dishes as well as dishes with varying levels of spice. I recommend the Kebab Curry with mixed meat as well as Murgh Malai Tikka and Don Chaat. It was all really good. The only drawback is some people might find the place small of a little pricey, it is about £30-£40 per person.

Overall great experience . Good location and food. A bit pricey

Wonderful service and delicious food in a casual environment - worth a try!

Must try experience! It's the biggest thali we ever had and with 3 of us sharing we had a lot of leftovers to take home- definitely worth the price! The thali was not just huge, all the dishes were delicious! The train station ambience and the staff were great too!

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. The seating indoors is a bit congested.

Good food, but beware of the pricing - they add VAT on at the end so it's no included in the price shown on the menu. This is quite an unusual place, not your typical Indian restaurant. It's a relatively small menu (which is good as it's more likely to be cooked from scratch). The food is fabulous and the staff are friendly. On the negative side, it's a little bit cramped, and the tablets are a bit small. It was a bit of a juggle with the food on the table. It's also very expensive. It's the most we've ever paid for an Indian meal. This is because, unlike virtually every other restaurant I've been to, they do not include VAT in their menu price, so you're adding 20% onto the bill. They also charge a 12.5% service charge, which I don't like. I probably won't go back because of the prices.

Sadly, the food let's this place down. Whilst the flavours of most are good, the content of the meat and fish dishes are questionable to say the least. Our table ordered a fish curry, and the pieces seemed to be 90% batter chunks with barely any fish content inside at all. Additionally the lamb mince kebabs were definitely not composed of authentic minced meat, as they could be mashed with a fork! Disappointing, and hopefully they take on board this criticism, as it's the wrong place to try and cut costs. Quality of food ingredients should be the finest, then this could be considered a good restaurant.

Really great vegan options here. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful which is always reassuring. The one minor issue was my vegan dish (samosa chaat - definitely recommend, absolutely delicious) arrived way before the rest of the dishes/sides so was cold by the time everything else arrived which was a shame. Still, food gets 5 stars even cold, couldn't fault it and will definitely be back. Also great cocktails.

Delish Indian from the Mumbi specialist, Patri knows their stuff. Takeaway in style from a man you can trust, he knew we could cope with only so much food & he was right. Thank you sir

Such a great restaurant. We've been twice and the food has been incredible both times!

Very nice and pleasant service. Food very good. I recommend to visit.

Their lamb Rogan Josh family recipe was amazing

Service was warm,friendly and good. The starter chaats were tasty. Especially the Kale Pakora Sweetie Chaat. We had high expectations for the Railway Mix Grill, however it was disappointing. Not at all tasty and very untypical for Indian food. It was served with broccoli with cheese and chicken with cheese. The main curries were very average and again lacked flavour. The lamb kebab handi masala was soft and tender but full of fat that had not been removed. Daal Makhani and Chicken Tikka Makhani were bland. At the time of ordering I did ask the waiter to give guidance on the amount of food to order for our group. But alas the guidance was not good, we over ordered by 25%.

Good quality genuine tasty Indian food. Home cooked flavours.

Lovely food, great experience, friendly service, really enjoyable

First time being here and I don’t think I will ever get over the food, warm hospitality, and sweet vibes. Quantity was more than enough for two people per curry! The food was so authentic, from pickles, chat and all the curries (we had dal makhni, paneer, samosa chat)!

Delicious, authentic Indian food and very friendly service. We will return! :)

Such interesting and delicious food and friendly, respectful staff. Nice to support small, local businesses!

Good neighbourhood restaurant, cosy and excellent service. Food is ok but a a bit expensive for the potion and quality!

amazing food, incredibly nice staff, halal, highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Makhani Pepper Masala!! Host "Frenco" was very sweet and very helpful!

We went a few weeks ago and I’m still thinking about how good the food was! We got the vegan thali and topped it up with a non-vegan main across 3 of us and it was a perfect amount of food. So flavorful and not too oily or spicy - simply delicious food with home-cooked vibes 😊 Staff are friendly and atmosphere is great as well!

Lovely midweek supper here, the sharing vegetarian thali for two was delicious and came with plenty of rice and bread. Would go back!

Very nice food and great service!

Went here on a Sunday evening, we got a starter and the thali, which came before the starter. The portion sizes were rather small considering the price is £33 for the thali. We also asked for extra spicy, but it wasn't. Also the food wasn't very hot. There's no ambiance and the furniture looks tired, the table was sticky...We were the only ones in the restaurant for the whole duration. Also most of the draught beers were out. I would not recommend this place, rather expensive and underwhelming with standard food. 12.5% Service charge added.

The food is amazing like a homemade meal! Calm atmosphere and pleasant customer service.Well informed waitress!

This place is a little gem, the staff are kind and attentive. Food is well presented and very tasty ! A few more pictures on the wall would be nice … but other than that it was a lovely evening. Try the Mango Rum cocktail!

Family owned and very hospital. A real gem away from the noise. Great dishes and marvelous tastes. Will return. Recommended.

This is my favorite local spot. Low key but wholesome indian street food with delicious chaats! So many options that you will find your favorite one of sure. Great for sharing accompanied with a fresh beer or their special cocktails.

Patri is my favourite Indian restaurant in London without a doubt! The food is delicious, cooked from the heart, and everyone who works their is so incredibly friendly.

We had a great experience in Patri Hammersmith, the food was delicious and the staff really kind and welcoming. A real gem for indian food lovers!

Great food. Friendly staff. Will definitely return and introduce my friends.

Wonderful meal, servings were large and really tasty

Nice experience and good food. The chat samosa was the best dish we had, as a starter, albeit that it is a main dish. Maybe they could consider making a smaller dish as the starter. But it was good food all round.

Food is good but Service is very slow. Three people servicing should divide functions on the floor. One person for drinks, 2nd for taking order + billing + clearing tables, and the third person for getting the food. Or if you can't divide them by function, have each one of them mapped to a section of the restaurant - one for tables outside, one for the middle section and the one person for the tables at the back.

Excellent food and very friendly staff! The menu is a bit overwhelming but the staff helped us pick.

Amazing 😍🙌🏻!!! So friendly,couldn't be more helpful, Perfect music playing at right volume. Then best part real authentic Indian food, possibly the most flavorsome Indian food ever!! Every thing we ordered was fabulous. We live up north but will actually definitely stay back in Hammersmith just to visit you again. Thank you 🙏🏻😊 xx

Total gem in Hammersmith with some superb food and charming service. Relaxed vibes. Outdoor seating. Proper proper curry.

Fabulous authentic Indian Street food. Highly recommend to everyone.

Good food, bad service. Very understaffed.

Easily the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. My wife and I were stunned how delicious it was. It has the subtle nuance of a chef who is passionate about cooking made with wonderfully fresh ingredients. Some highlights: the somossa chaat was transcendent and the FRESH gulab jamun tasted like buttered popcorn. I’ve never had anything like either of them before. This place should triple their prices and start vying for a Michelin star.

The food was excellent, and the staff members were fantastic! I highly recommend this place.

Fun street food casual dining restaurant serving an excellent range of well cooked, good quality ingredient, delicious dishes. We ordered probably too many starters - but we just couldn’t decide as they all sounded so good - and they were! The samosa which came on a bed of rich and fragrant daal was spectacular. The chicken murgh was creamy and succulent. The lamb kebab was packed full of flavour and very tender. The addition of the boyfriend chaat, which were tasty bite size morsels, was probably one first course too many - but they were just all so very delicious. We followed with chicken curry and lamb rogan. The deep richness of the rogan gravy made us keep eating way beyond being full, as did the spice packed chicken curry. Absolutely everything was packed full of well thought out spices, which made for full flavours which were not overly chilli hot, (which always diminishes a dish with heat just for the sake of strong chilli burn). The staff were attentive and friendly. We washed the meal down with a couple of rum punches and pints of draft Cobra. What we couldn’t eat, they offered to pack up for us to take home - which we did. This made lunch the following day a second delicious experience. The restaurant decor is fun and welcoming resembling slightly a railway eatery. We will definitely be back, and before that we will definitely be ordering from Deliveroo as we luckily live in the right radius. I would whole heartedly recommend going to Patri. I would definitely recommend going hungry to make the most of what’s on offer.

This place is true South Indian cuisine, delicious and great serving sizes! We will be back!

Delicious food and amazing service. Definitely come here - fab!

Really enjoyable taste, is like straight from Delhi highly recommended!

Very tasty dishes in a quaint little restaurant with an authentic feel.

Great food and great service! Highly recommended! 🤍Best indian food in the area😁

Booked at short notice. Was busy considering we went in fairly after opening. Couldn’t fault it. Would return if we were in the area again!

This popular place from Insta is quite disappointing. Food is prepared from canned preserved tomato gravy which makes it tasteless. The desserts were horrible.

This place is a quality of quantity place. The prices are high but it is quality and the staff are super friendly and attentive. The food was great, we booked outside but was a little too cold and they let us to move inside without any trouble or fuss. I believe the manager? Or head waiter kindly explained the foods and was very encouraging. Wonderful experience (sorry forgot to take photos)

I made an online reservation for 2:30 PM but was later asked to arrive early because the restaurant closes at 3 PM. Despite arriving 20 minutes early, we were rushed and informed that we had limited time. The service was poor, and the tables were sticky. Overall, I was very disappointed with the service, and the food was just okay.

Absolutely perfect ! The service was so nice, the waitresses was lovely and helpful. The food was really generous and really good. Officially my favorite Indian restaurant in London. I recommend this place, enjoy !

It is more of bistro and the ambience takes you to an old indian parsi shops like feel in a good way. I loved it how they have a window in middle and rustic chairs, tables with indian city name on top. We came here to celebrate our friend’s bday and they haven’t disappointed us with those big thaali’s. It will cost you somewhere around 35 which they mention as enough for too and they not kidding it. I think they are reasonably price and the taste is really really good, I would recommend to be here try some of thaali’s on share. The only reason I gave it 4 is because of the lamb curry, lamb wasn’t good but the curry was good.

Lovely casual restaurant for delicious, authentic Indian food. The portion sizes are large and perfect for sharing. I enjoyed the samosa chaat, masala fries, and the daal makhani. We were even given a complimentary raita, which was very kind.

Tasty food, great portion size and plenty of variety.

Good food and service! The thali was delicious, would recommend.

Ci vado con regolarità: il servizio e il cibo è sempre eccellente

Nice cosy place. Went as a family outing. Food was very tasty. We ordered sharing Thali.. which was more than enough for two to share. The restaurant guys gave an additional curry (panchpooran dal) as complimentary as well. Overall recommended

Delicious vegan tali, amazing gajar halwa, friendly and attentive service, very reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

It is a lovely little restaurant with a very friendly service, delicious food. Ambience is casual, relaxed. We had chefs thali for too which was plentiful. Pink lady cocktail was to die for. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Probably one of if not best Currys I've ever had absolutely packed full of flavour!

Really enjoyed our meal - just missing the alcohol free beer but otherwise fab. Thanks.

Ordered for the first time last night and I felt it was a bit expensive until I started to eat the lamb spicy secret curry which was outstanding. The meat fell apart and the sauce was on another level. I also tried the butter chicken which was again beautifully flavoured. Only changes I would ask it dishes to e sealed in cling film and marked. 10/10. Will be back. Came back and the secret lamb curry was made with KEBAB skewered meat. The sauce is still tasty but it was meant to be lamb.

Excellent food and service, very friendly and attentive. My husband and I shared the all meat thali and were so full by the end! Highly recommend

Great place, highly recommend if you are in the area

So fresh and flavourful! Best Indian food for miles

Lovely experience, wonderful service and beautiful food. We will be back when we next visit London!

Fantastic food, great Chaat’s in particular - lovely staff and great atmosphere - will be visiting again soon!

Excellent food and great service. Big thank you to Honey (the woman who served us) for her great service

Friendly helpful staff, interesting menu and good choice of drinks
