The best restaurants serving Indian food in London

Food was excellent not sure of the one star review on trip advisor that’s why I’m posting. Going back tonight for fish curry yummy

Food was very expensive and was just pk tasting. It was our most expensive and least satisfying meal in our 1 week stay in London.

I really like this Indian restaurant in the heart of Mayfair. We tried two special Thalis: Seafood Thali and Non-Vegetarian Thali. The Seafood Thali was amazing. The Fish Recheado, grilled sea bass with Goan spices, was flavorful and juicy, absorbing the rich spices during grilling. The Fish Curry was delicious and paired well with Saag Paneer, Dal Tadka, steamed rice, Raita, and Paratha. Each bite was a burst of flavors. For dessert, we had Anjeer Kheer, a sweet and smooth fig rice pudding. The Non-Vegetarian Thali was also delightful. It came with chicken served with fresh Kachumber salad and mint chutney, adding a refreshing taste. The Chicken Tikka Masala had tender chicken chunks in a spicy tomato sauce, pairing nicely with Saag Paneer, spiced lentils, steamed rice, Raita, and Paratha. Dessert was again Anjeer Kheer. The drinks were excellent too. I recommend the Mango and Date Lassi, a sweet treat that was especially enjoyable after my recent trip to Egypt, where these fruits are common. Each lunch Thali costs just over £20, which is quite reasonable for Mayfair. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience tasty Indian cuisine.

I came here for my friend's birthday dinner and the food was exceptional! Very much value for money compared to the likes of Regency and Everest where the quantities are small. The service was good too.

Friendly service, very quick, nice vegetarian food. Could be a bit spicier. Will go again. Hhhhhhhhhhhh (all the hs because can't submit at under 100 characters, doh)

I came here for a wake. There were about 20 of us and we were welcomed warmly. The food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant itself is cosy and has a great ambience. We had a set menu and when I told the manager Mo that I am a vegetarian he immediately said that this was no problem and brought me out the most delicious chick pea dish. The flavours were out of this world and different to your average Indian restaurant. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it was a very good surprise to taste the spices that lingered in the mouth after in the most pleasant way. I am definitely planning to come here again with friends at the earliest opportunity. Don't pass this one by. If you are in the area give it a try. It's worth travelling from South London to Kentish Town. Thank you for making a sad day a brilliant celebration of a very missed person's life.

Thank you so much! Best curry house on Brick Lane - Apu gave exceptional service! Thank you so much will definitely be back!

Jai Shri Krishna has closed! It's the end of an era! Babu has produced incredible food for 40 years - if you've not been, you have seriously missed out! Thank you Babu+!

Absolute joke of a place! We ordered 8 dishes, all vegetarian, including paneer tikka masala and received chicken into a vegetarian household, and religious members of the family ate meat for the first time. Upon asking for a compensation they asked us to come and collect the correct dish without any compensation. After arguing, being hung up on twice, and a complete disregard for our family’s religious beliefs, we were then informed that any potential refund would come out of the workers salaries! Highly recommend steering well clear of this place, we received good feedback from friends but we certainly won’t be risking it happening again to us.

There were 16 of us in total, everyone without exception commented on how lovely the meal was, thankfully I had already been there twice before so could guarantee my choice was not going to let me down. Thanks for a wonderful reception and meals served on time,

Unfortunately, Sarada is permanently closed. After many years with a chequered history, it is no longer. Be interesting to see what goes in there instead. Now frequenting Agra.

First time ordering a takeaway from this restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I look forward to visiting and eating in the restaurant. Food was excellent, great value and very tasty. Highly recommended.

Sehr empfehlenswertes Restaurant: die Empfehlung des Kellners, um die ich ihn ausdrücklich gebeten hatte, war super lecker und ich würde hier wieder einkehren. Liegt in der Nähe des Bahnhofs, von dem die Eurostar-Züge nach Festland-Europa abfahren. Ich bin derzeit auf Geschäftsreise mit leichten touristischen Anteilen und musste deshalb zu einer ziemlich kranken Zeit, 17 Uhr am Nachmittag, essen. Das Restaurant hatte aber schon geöffnet. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Das Restaurant seinen Namen geändert und heißt jetzt Kavali, dadurch wurde die Suche etwas erschwert 😅. Ich hatte Tandoori Mixed Grill und als Gemüse Cauliflower Bhajee, beides sehr lecker. Das nächste Mal probiere ich etwas aus dem Tandoori-Ofen.

We live in Stratford upon Avon, a tourist town, that according to official figures has 2.7 million visitors a year. As you would expect, with this many visitors the choice of places to eat is large and varied. Sadly, the one thing that the town now lacks is a good Indian restaurant. Yes, it has about 7 or 8 but none of them are great. For two decades it had a super one, but sadly we lost that due to a new road. Wellesbourne is about ten minutes drive from Stratford. A friend of ours who lives there recommended Kolshi to us, and it proved to be a very good recommendation indeed. We went on a Sunday evening and we were pleased. There is an excellent choice of very competitively priced starters and mains, with all sorts of rice and breads to accompany them. The staff were very welcoming and the service, like the food, was good. One thing to note is that the restaurant does not serve alcohol but they welcome you to bring your own so we took a few beers with us. Parking outside the restaurant is somewhat limited, but opposite is a Shell garage, and parking in the road alongside there was fine and it was a one-minute walk. Two key questions: Will we be going back? Definitely, we already have a date in our diary. Will we be recommending Kolshi to others? Yes, we already have.

Lovely vibe and cool decor. One staff member gave us a friendly welcome. The food was also very nice x However, the service was chronically slow. We arrived at 10:35 on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It wasn’t empty, but certainly not busy - maybe around ten other people who all seem to have ordered. Despite the fact it wasn’t that busy, the three of us all received our food at significant time intervals. One of the staff who was bringing out the food, didn’t seem to know or care who the food she was carrying was for. We waited over 30 minutes from ordering before we received our food. It’s such a shame, as everything is here to make this a great place to revisit, but I won’t and I visit the area regularly for football matches.
