The best restaurants serving Indian food in London

Excellent food and excellent service

A top evening. A well established Putney restaurant that cooks brilliant Indian food. The food and wine menus are helpfully compact, making choices easier and I reckon heightens the results! Delicious all round… perfectly cooked rice, nans, samosas , baked prawns ….and the curries!!Easy to get to, clearly full of locals ( all ages) and family owned. The service was tops too. And they own the wine shop next door. Thank you again.

An interestingly sad experience to be sure. My friends and I had set on having a curry in clapham with one of our friends giving it a reference. We heard about the byob rule - fine to us - and wanted to get a beer before going in. When we went by the restaurant before and a worker really wanted us to come in and sit for a meal who right after we had bought our beers. After buying them and bringing them to the restaurant, we were met with quite hostile attitude. The new worker made a point of us having to order quickly and leave as they were closing. We were a bit shocked since the previous worker, who we did not see after, said we should come in and have a curry. At one point, one of the workers thought our friend had finished his beer, knocked over the bottle by mistake and then shook it afterwards to see if there was anymore which there was quite a bit of beer in it, very unprofessional. To top it all off, they started letting in more customers to sit and eat curry, so I guess the closing time was incorrect! Google had informed us the closing time was later than the workers had said to us, but they were adamant and walked away when we questioned it. Our food was unfortunately average, particularly our friend who had lamb as he said it was quite chewy. Overall, I hope the manner of the employees does more than the food could as it really was unprofessional.

Great for both - a quick snack or a full meal!! I'll be back for sure.

Food is okay okay, but the rice is overcooked and broken. It's supposed to be long-grain rice. And once we finished the main course, just about to leave, then suddenly the harabhara kebab arrived, which we ordered as a starter.

Been here several times, including last night ,the food is very nice, staff excellent.

Food was good however the wait time after the order was close to 45 mins. There service is lethargic. I also requested for green chilies but it never arrived. Also, the attention to detail is missing with the team. The curries and chapati were ordered again (the existing ones were finished). Chapati (bread) arrived early than curry. So I had just chapati but no curry. The team should have brought them together. With family and friends it could be little embarrassing with such service!

Ordered for delivery. The food was piping hot, arrived a lot earlier than expected and delicious (as it always is)

I love Cardomom. Fantastic chefs, warm and friendly service. Inan is doing a great job. I had prawn puri, delicious, but the king was Lamb Pistachio Paneer Masala. 🩷 I love rich, creamy curries, but they’re always too mild for me. This is delicious and satisfying, with a really good chilli hit. Yum! The prices are amazing too.

Always have a great meal here. Varied menu. Staff lovely.

Had excellent dining experience, tried special fried rice, lamb rogan josh specisl request, garlic naan. Loved it

Fantastic authentic taste, great portion size and packaged with care. Highly recommended!

Everything here is 5 stars! We have food allergies and asked the wonderful chef if they could accommodate us. He and his team prepared everything from scratch just for us. I left this place with tears in my eyes! And it wasn't just Vindaloo :)) Such a beautiful place filled with truly kind people.
