The best restaurants serving Indian food in Fairfield Croydon London

I stumbled upon The Tava Shop in Croydon, and wow, it hit all the right notes! We ordered Dabeli, Vadapav, Chicken Fried Rice, and Rasmalai Cake, and every bite took us right back to the flavors of India. We were a bit hesitant at first since the place was empty, but decided to grab a takeaway – and I’m so glad we did! The food was genuinely amazing, like proper Indian street food. If you’re looking for that nostalgic, authentic taste, this is the spot. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Good place to catch with friends or meet up with colleagues at lunch time if you work in the area. Lots of different options and fairly good quality food. I have tried thai, grill, pizza, jerk and roti, burritos and bagels! I don’t think you can get your meal under £10.

Found this restaurant the first time we were in Croydon visiting family. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It a smallish restaurant made to feel bigger by the large mirrors. The food was excellent, so much so that each time we stay overnight we make sure we stop by for a meal. We are both avid Indian foodies.

Good taste but very small portions compared to other restaurants

Used to come here many year's ago and my family come here all the time, well used too now!!! Staff are decidedly aloof, disinterested, unfriendly and moody and everything seems too much to ask! On top of this they add a service charge in the middle of the bill as if trying to hide it. It's a pity and can only presume it has changed hands over the years. Food was nice but staff and the deceit at adding service charge means we will not return and have advised our friends and family whom all live in Beddington and Wallington to instead look elsewhere where our custom is appreiciated,,,Akash in Wallington or Blue Bengal we are always made to feel welcome. Asif just cannot be bothered!
