The best restaurants serving Indian food in Oval Lambeth London

One of the best Indian meals i've eaten in a very long time. Also reasonably priced food and drinks. Poppadoms and naan bread cooked to perfection. Absolutely perfectly spiced curry. My only criticism would be that the serving staff were a little bit too attentive. Not pushy, but just having a glass taken away the second you finish your drink is a bit over the top. And please, don't clear plates until everyone has finished eating.

Had a great set meal from here. The chicken tikka and seekh kebab starters with salad, onion salad and minted yoghurt were delicious. Portion sizes were generous throughout. The naan bread was soft and excellent. However, two of the main course dishes were slightly spoiled by being just too sweet. The chicken tikka masala tasted as if the chef had tipped half a bag of sugar into the mix. A little would have been fine, but it was sweeter than a sweet pudding. Same with the mattar paneer. Pity, because the underlying dishes were good. I’d have given 5 stars if they’d got this right. Also - we booked online. We then got a text message saying that delivery would be 40 minutes longer than the initial 40 minute estimate (ie 1hr 20m). We were inclined to cancel. A phone call and they delivered in 30 minutes! So worth phoning!!

I always have the same, sad I know, but the chicken tikka, peshwari naan and bhini bhaji are excellent! And I have had a few of these from a variety of places. The naan is well filled, soft and yummy. The chicken delicious as is the okra. The other half has lamb passanda and rice. He says it is a delicious blend of sweet and spice. And all for under £25 A wonderful, local restaurant. Thank you
