The best restaurants serving Indian food in Abbey Merton London

Visited recently with friends and family for a birthday. First impressions were good. Busy, spacious, friendly staff etc. Ordered starters. You can tell a lot about a restaurant from the starters. Portion size was extremely small compared to even many top restaurants I have been to. Prices were above average so you would think sizes reflect this. Not the case. You virtually need one and a half starters per person. Not the usual order a few dishes and can share as is most Indian restaurants. Disappointed from the starters as had to then order more as it was embarrassing. Poppadoms- one cut into 4 pieces per basket. That's not a basket of Poppadoms. Then onto mains. Again, Prices around £16 per main. You'd expect something. I thought that the children's dishes had come out at first. Might need to take a microscope to see the food next time as not much given per dish. Disappointed. Taste wise, ok. Nothing to write home about. Clearly people's taste buds must be changing as they seemed to be catering for a newer generation of Indians who have forgotten what genuine Indian food tastes like and those who want British Indian food. I think the restaurant is trying to please a moden British crowd with what was quite bland food, even the dishes with 3 chilli's next to them. Staff were great. Service a bit slow. Nice atmosphere. Prices- too high for what you get. Would I go again? Unlikely. Much better places around.

Not great quality meat, tough lamb, rice was nice
