Hoppers

Hoppers – Marylebone, London

Our evening at Hoppers Marylebone was a memorable introduction to the vibrant flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. Dining as a party of four, we were immediately struck by the restaurant’s warm yet stylish ambience. The interior design blends cozy comfort with authentic touches, creating an inviting space that reflects the spirit of Sri Lanka.

The menu offers an exciting variety of dishes, each one bursting with distinctive spices and perfectly balanced flavours. Every plate we sampled was both delicious and beautifully presented, demonstrating real culinary.

Service was exemplary. Our waitress was attentive and thoroughly knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Her guidance made it easy to explore unfamiliar dishes with confidence.

The cocktail list deserves special mention. Each drink was expertly mixed, complementing the food with fresh, well-judged flavours.

Overall, Hoppers delivers a dining experience that is both exciting and deeply satisfying. From the exceptional food to the warm hospitality and stylish surroundings, it is a restaurant we will gladly return to and wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking authentic Sri Lankan flavours in the heart of London.

Very unique sirilankan restaurant in the heart on London. Outside seating. Inside seating in basement is really cozy. I would not sit upstairs. We tried the hoppers experience where they bring you a little bit of everything.  My son had the biriyani. My wife wasn’t a fan so I deducted a star. Food tastes great. Brandon the host was great.

Honestly quite disappointed by the experience. Food is good, but service is neither attentive nor welcoming. We reserved days ahead but were seated upstairs directly under an aggressive fan. Not sure who enjoys strong wind in your eyes and nose while you eat. Even our napkins were flown away. We asked to turn it off but it was not possible as apparently all fans would be turned off and other guests need them. Simple would have been another table - but unfortunately we were left there and without any further word food was brought over. Nothing really hot, but fast.

We enjoyed the food, the dishes came very quickly and all had great flavours. We also liked the drinks selection, very funky and tasty drinks! Not many restaurants have tasty creative soft drinks so this was a huge plus. The restaurant has a nice ambience and the staff are all nice, we had a very nice and attentive waitress.

That said, we only had 1 hour and felt quite rushed towards the end, hadn’t finished our mains and were constantly being asked if they could clear the table and if we wanted dessert, not quite the experience we were expecting for the cost. When we made the reservation, there was no warning that we only had the table for 1 hour. Other than that, we enjoyed it, would’ve been nice to have more time to properly enjoy the meal and actually have time to order dessert though

Nice restaurant in central London.

Great vibe and very helpful and polite staff. From the hoppers experience, the devilled paneer is highly recommended. The wattalapam lassi was the best lassi I've ever tried!

Our lamb and chicken dishes are Halal. We serve alcohol.

Oorja Indian Dining

I must say that this was a good surprise. We don’t usually eat Indian food. It was a lovely way to spend the evening eating Indian food. I like that they had a light on the table and when you touched it, they knew that you were ready to order the food was delicious we had k
Dill herb salmon, mango shrimp, curry smoked black Dalla chickpea MASALA butter, chicken and rice this restaurant isright in the theater district. They’ve only been open six months. The Decorations of this restaurant is really nice. The service was excellent. We will return when our next trip to. I had great aprons that you put on when you’re having dinner makes a great picture  thought that was a really cute idea. Also, at the end they gave you this box with herbs in it. We tried it has an interesting taste

Went to Oorja for their pre-theatre menu, and I’ll get the good thing out of the way first (there’s only one) - the food tastes really good, and their curries and starters have tons of flavour. That’s all!

What spoils the experience is their service, with the staff’s general apathy and lack of interest in doing their job (for a 12.5% service charge that too). They seated us at an unprepared table - missing napkins and the table lamp (which customers must switch to call for service). We sat for 20 mins with no service, waiting for the menu, or being asked for water. We looked around and figured we were missing the lamp, and we had to grab one from an empty table nearby. Ironically, staff keep walking around to fix small bits-and-bobs on empty tables, but never really eye the customers.

Even after finally placing an order, the service didn’t improve - we had different people tend to us at different times, as if they lacked coordination with each other.

The kicker to all this was at the end, when we asked someone from management to have the service charge removed. We whispered to him to have the charge removed so as not to embarrass the staff. But he took it personally, and shouted across the resto to his staff “hey remove the service charge and give this bill” - almost in a petty attempt to embarrass us. He had no questions to us to enquire what went wrong or what could be improved. Good luck showing that attitude.

Overall, felt like the place was run by petty, rude, amateur and unprofessional people (as also evidenced by some of their other confrontational responses to low-rated Google reviews). And this attitude flows through to the staff.

Right after we paid, one of the waiters promptly came and asked us to leave as they have another booking. They didn’t seem to care for the 20 mins we waited for the menus, or the time we waited for each of our courses.

We were looking for a highly rated Indian food experience. We were overwhelmed by the Dishoon line and found this amazing place and came in based on its rating. All I can say is WOW. The flavors, the service, the atmosphere, the cleanliness… everything was a 5 from us. I cannot even tell you what was my favorite because all of it was beyond delicious. Lovpreet took incredible care of us and guided us through a unique and flavorful journey via the menu. Just do the chef’s choice. You won’t be disappointed and you definitely get a lot of food, so come hungry. Also get a Masala chai tea. Ah-mazing.

This was quite possibly our best meal in London. Everything at this restaurant was top-notch and the staff made us feel very welcome. There is a light on the table that you turn on when you need a server’s attention And the service was great. Cocktails also very good and the price was reasonable considering the quality of the food. Give this place a try for sure.

Excellent- fully recommend. We have been to Dishoom the last few times we have visited London, but Oorja far surpassed this. Beautiful food, lovely service (thank you Monica) and a wonderful  (less noisy and hectic) atmosphere. We had the theatre menu- very good portions and a lovely mix. Thank you very much- we will visit next time we come to the city.

Curated menu of the most flavoursome Indian street food

Saffron Street

Delicious food. Masala fries where probably the best I’ve ever eaten. The tacos were nice, but a bit too oily.

One negative was the attendee when I arrived within the 15 minutes holding time. I was not aware the entire group had to be there to claim the reservation (especially when one of them is arriving with a newborn baby!) and feel like it could have been communicated more nicely especially once our original table had been given away. Other than that, the service was fine.

Was craving some chaat. I’ve been to their other restaurant - Saffron Kitchen many times and I’ve always loved the chaat platter there. Since I was in the Gants Hill area however and didn’t fancy the drive to Leyton, we decided to come here instead because they do the same platter.

I’ve been here several times too over the years, and whilst the food has always been consistently decent, it’s definitely never been anything to remember - just more of a nice convenient place if I’m in the area and can’t think of anywhere else to go. Anyway, I hoped the chaat platter would be just like Saffron Kitchen’s, unfortunately, it wasn’t - all the chaats were far too sweet, and the gol gappe were filled almost entirely with yogurt, which none of us enjoyed.

The mains were better - nothing wow as usual, but decent with nice balanced flavours and decent portions. The Indian dishes were definitely better than the Chinese fusion options though.

That said, the restaurant itself is very aesthetic, and we were seated quickly with great service throughout. The food presentation is always on point, with a bit of added theatricals for the gram if you’re into that kind of thing.

We traveled 125miles to come here because my son loves this place. The captions says it all. The best hands down , the vibe is so good here too and waiter service great, large mocktail and daiquiri range too. Been coming here for 5 years twice a year for anniversaries and birthdays . The biryani's are awesome here too a whole lamb shank protruding out of it.  The kids always  wake up early to travel here and sleep the way back home (That says it all really)

Wow!
Words cannot describe how the food was, simply amazing 🤩
Made me feel like i am eating on the streets of Mumbai… 🥰
Every dish in the menu is simply amazing
The taste, the flavours, the aroma and the service, just loved it.

The service was very fast.

I would not consider and compare the place to fine dine or any such restaurants but would rather say it’s the best Street Food Joint in London.

The taste and flavours beat a famous fine dine around here as well.

Best Value for Money as well…

Keep it up 👍🏻

This is a hidden gem in Ilford. Have been following reviews for few months, and thought will give it a go for Sunday Lunch 😀

Nice choice for vegetarians and good selection if you are foodie 😊

Kalai the chef, ensured our order was served within 15 minutes. Staff were very polite and recommended few signature dishes from the menu. Lunch crowd was just building up for a Sunny Sunday at 14.00 pm, but the place got pretty full by 3.30 and there was big reservation for 20 people, so we were on time before they arrived 😋

Kitchen was super busy with Deliveroo orders too, so it must be popular one for locals!

Please make sure, you are super hungry before you come to this place to do justice to the meal. Definitely coming back 🤗

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Kachori

The food and vibe were really good and impressive. We went there for my wife’s birthday celebration. For our surprise they gave us a complimentary cake at the end of our meal, my wife was really happy about it and made our day! Thanks a lot to team Kachori for making a great experience.
Bimal was really great and his service and behaviour was awesome. He was really kind and served us with utmost respect.

A large Indian restaurant in great surroundings.
Outside seating is appealing with surrounding greenery.
Friday evening was very busy when we visited.
We tried cocktails, lot's of their smaller plates, as well as a number of their larger plates.
The food was tasty and delicious.
Service was prompt and attentive.

I booked a dinner for my partner’s birthday, and overall, the service and food were outstanding. Initially, we were seated inside near a large family group, and the noise made it difficult to have a conversation. Thankfully, the staff were very accommodating and moved us to the outdoor seating area, which was much more relaxed and comfortable, with fresh air and a quieter atmosphere.

The food was excellent. However, I would have appreciated it if my lamb biryani came with some vegetable or dhal curry to add moisture, as the rice was a bit dry on its own.

A special touch was when the staff found out it was my partner’s birthday, they kindly brought out a brownie with “Happy Birthday” written on it. It was a lovely gesture, and we really appreciated it.

Thank you so much for looking after us. I look forward to returning in the future!

The food is amazing, great overall atmosphere, decent prices too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the chai brulee dessert.

We were three couples, at Kachori this evening; amazing food, service and ambience. We all enjoyed the starters immensely and the mains were super; a contender for ten best Indian fine dining in London. Sagar, the manager was great and the server M. Lak was brilliant. Highly recommended.

All food on our menu is Halal. Alcohol is served. 

Royal Mahal Norbury

I love the dynamite chicken but wish they gave a bit more chicken. All the drinks I got here were nice too, and the food is yummy! The San Sebastián cheesecake and lotus milk cake are so good.

We had an amazing experience, muqarba was really well! We had a birthday celebration here as we were disappointed with the tooting branch, this branch was very efficient and quick with their service. Would definitely reccomend

Today me and my family came down to royal mahal because they had a 50% off offer.

I do believe the system was setup really bad and they didn’t anticipate how many people were actually going to come. As I’ve heard from other people when we sat down around 8:30pm they had to tell other people in the line that they have ran out of food and can’t serve them after people had been waiting for an hour.
On this occasion they should’ve given them a 50% voucher for another time because of the time they wasted.

Besides that let’s continue

We queued up for an hour luckily prior to that my other family, SAVED US AND WROTE DOWN OUR NAMES so we didn’t have to wait !!

The food and service now.

The service from the waiters was really good  5 stars I can’t complain they were always on standby and always looking if we needed anything!! Really nice and polite.

The food however was a 3/5 for me. I had ordered a chicken karahi and a lamb curry 2 rice and some papadoms.The saving grace was the chicken Karahi, absolutely amazing no complaints full of flavour amazing!! Nice tender soft and curry sauce was great would buy that again.
However, the downfall was the lamb curry it was honestly bad. One word just bad. No flavour or taste, I just felt bad and forced myself to eat it because I didn’t want to waste it.

To factor in everything considering how busy there were I can’t complain. They honestly tried their best and gave it their all.

Restaurant is nice however it’s very long wait for the food. We were 15 mins late for our booking due to to the traffic and no place to park which we called before hand to explain, however when we got there, they gave our table away and requested us to wait in the queue. We were a group of 7 which means prolonged waiting time. Waited approx 40 mins. Parking is on a side street so I’d leave very early to get convenient parking.

Once they called us out for our a table they joined two small round tables normally for 2-3 people and seated us on there, we requested to wait for another table which was another 30/35 mins.

We were told to order starters so the food is ready when we got re seated, some of the starters came out whilst still on the small tables and the rest of the starters came out 30 mins after seated in new table. We ordered our drinks, and although they have an iPad/tablet to take order, they still missed out on few drinks and had to be requested 2 or 3 times for them to come out. 25 mins for an orange juice is a joke.

Food was nice however we waited over an hour for mains which took our overall wait time to over 1 hour n half, it was busy when we got there however I did realise they favoured other tables over ours. Few tables got their food way before us even though they got seated and ordered after us.

The food is nice however, would not recommend to eat here, may be better to do a takeaway instead, might be able to call in advance and get food quicker. Some waiters were good but some were not the best.

There is many other restaurants on this road which may be better for groups of more than 4.

Second visit, and definitely not my last. On both occasions food and service was excellent! Great atmosphere and very comfortable seating. Tried the lunch thaali which was not only great value but delicious. Naan bread , sheek kebabs and chicken tikka were stand out dishes. Definitely recommend.

The Tamil Prince

Food was good, felt that the chicken lollipop was slightly too dry for my liking. The chicken curry wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. Their diwali special, the coconut and green mango malai kofta, was excellent. Enjoyed the prawn appetisers as well.

Amazing place. The coolest vibes, great atmosphere, food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Nice range of dishes on the menu, veggie options too. Also had some wonderful cocktails. Our servers Andrea and Siva were perfect, fun and knowledgeable and kept us super happy.

Was was walking in the neighborhood and stumbled upon this restaurant. We did not have reservations, but anyways called beforehand to check if there would be something free. It seems to be a popular restaurant and gets quite crowded. Luckily l, there was still space for a party of four outside. Staff friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and I believe it’s a good place to get Masala dosas which are not readily available in the classic Indian restaurant as it is southern Indian cuisine. Pricewise, it’s London, so obviously not the cheapest. Watch out for the optional service charge fee of 12,5% which you can ask to be taken out. I just find that embarrassing to do so I believe they should ask the customers beforehand. I don’t believe seeing it in their menus

4 off us gambled on hopefully getting a table around 6pm on a Saturday and we managed to get a outside table. Staff were great. Very helpful and attentive. The food was brilliant the chicken pops were proper tasty. The Dahl was immense.

Had a lovely meal at the Tamil Prince.

We arrived early as we booked a table for 21:15 however after seeing online you might get a walk in we thought we’d give it a try. Sadly not, the place is so popular we ended up outside on the A frame benches. The staff were very friendly and welcoming but it would be awesome if management could consider blankets or outdoor heating. Once we got our table the waiting staff were very attentive. The food was insanely good, traditionally cooked and the flavours so good that even our Tamil family enjoyed comparing to dishes back home.

Outstanding restaurant can see why it’s so popular!

Zaika

A delightful surprise, with a cosy and intimate atmosphere. I could honestly say it was the most delicious Indian food I’ve ever tried: full of flavour and technically flawless.
The bathrooms were spotless and carried a wonderful oriental scent of oud.
Our waiter, Akbor, was charming with his recommendations and extremely kind and professional.
I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Walking by, stopped to look at the menu and decided we would give it a try. Very pleased we did. Probably the best of all the Indian restaurants we have eaten at in Central London (and that is quite a few). Service, food ambience - excellent. We will be back !!

A Delightful Afternoon at Zaika

After a leisurely stroll through Kensington Palace, my wife and I decided to stop by Zaika for lunch. While the restaurant is typically known for its dinner service, we had the rare pleasure of having the entire space to ourselves at noon—a quiet luxury that made the experience feel even more special.

The ambiance is charmingly old-school, adorned with tasteful paintings that evoke a sense of elegance without feeling dated. Our server, Rahail, was warm and attentive, adding a personal touch that made us feel truly welcome.

We began with the Raj Kachori, which pleasantly surprised us. Unlike the usual hot serving, Zaika’s version came chilled—refreshing and absolutely bursting with flavor. I paired it with a masala chai, which leaned toward the subtle side in terms of strength but was beautifully balanced and aromatic. My wife had the mango lassi, which was rich, smooth, and perfectly sweet.

All in all, a lovely midday escape—delicious food, gracious service, and a serene setting. We’d gladly return, perhaps for dinner next time, to experience the place in its full glory.

Wonderful indian restaurant where we had an excellent food experience.

Plenty of choices thanks to the talented and experienced chef and great manager!

We visited Restaurant Zaika for a birthday celebration after it came recommended by someone local. The experience, unfortunately, didn’t quite live up to expectations , though there were some highlights.

The starter was genuinely delicious and gave a promising start to the meal. However, the main courses were quite underwhelming. The lobster, in particular, was overcooked while the flavour was there, the texture was tough and chewy. At £34, it really didn’t feel worth the price. The chicken biryani and the paneer dish were both average, not bad, but certainly not as good as what we’ve had in other nearby restaurants.

What made the situation worse was the handling of our complaint. We mentioned the issue with the lobster, and while the waiter did apologise, no further gesture was offered, no adjustment to the bill or any goodwill token. That was disappointing and felt like a missed opportunity for good customer service.

That said, I do want to highlight that the waiter who looked after our table was excellent, very polite, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely, and the decor was outstanding and welcoming.

As locals, we were hoping to add Zaika to our list of favourites, but unfortunately, the overall value for money just wasn’t there. For the prices charged, there are better options nearby. A disappointing experience overall.

BKC - Biryani Kebab Chai

Excellent food and service!  We were in London for a few days and wanted a change of pace for dinner. We are so happy we chose BKC. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we enjoyed our experience. The staff asked thoughtful questions and made great suggestions to satisfy all our palates. Everything was delicious and fresh. You know a restaurant is good when there are plants of locals enjoying meals. I know this will be a stop on our next trip to London!

Taste was very good but extremely overpriced!!!! 3 small pieces of kebab for £16-17!!! One pot of biryani £17. For one time it’s good but definitely i won’t go back (for the price!!).

Also, the employees were very attentive (may be a bit too much because one employee almost snatched the glass from a table when the customer was still not finished. Probably they wanted to take the dishes to kitchen asap which looked very weird).

Waited for ~20-30 mins which was still understandable because there were other guests before us waiting.

We walked in and got a table straight away.

I was more than impressed visiting @bkc.restaurant. Honestly my impressions were that it's a casual restaurant but I was quite wrong.

Prices are on the higher end but oh my the food was top notch.

The biryani was decent but in my opinion you can pass on that and go for the "kebabs" /grills instead.

All the ones I tried - wow. The quality of the chicken, the marination and flavours made me think this is a top Indian restaurant. The galouti kebab (lamb) which I know as a tunde kebab just broke apart so easily. This is rare to find and just melts in your mouth. Generally all the grilled meats were fantastic.

For curries I tried the lamb bhuna which was on the sweeter side but I really enjoyed the murgh makhni - perfect.

Desserts held up to the mains as well. Falooda was great but my pick would be the gajar ka halwa because it was actually done properly. But even that gulab jaman was lovely.

Quality food and I highly recommend.

I recently visited BKC Restaurant and found the overall food taste acceptable.
I ordered the Bombay Biryani, expecting the typical flavours of Mumbai. Instead, it was predominantly an Awadhi-style biryani, with key ingredients missing. For example, raisins were used instead of prunes, which changed the flavour noticeably. The description did not match how it looked. On a positive note, the thecha served on the side had a good kick and added a nice burst of flavour.
The Pepper Chicken also didn’t match its name. It had more of an Indo-Chinese taste, rather than the bold, peppery flavour you'd expect from a South Indian dish.
Interestingly, when I gave feedback to the manager, the response was more defensive than open. Rather than accepting it, they seemed to justify the choices, which was disappointing.
Additionally, prices are higher than other nearby restaurants, but the food and experience don’t offer much more in return. If you're not familiar with Indian regional dishes, you might not notice. But for those who are, the lack of authenticity is clear.

I tried the chicken biriani, galouti kebab, and house daal with roti and naan. The rice of the biriani was quite fragrant, the galouti felt like lamb tartare as it was very very soft and the daal was ok.
I don't think I would go back, sorry. For indian food, it wasn't all that. The service is good though

Indi-go Rasoi Old Spitalfields Market

This Indian eatery missed the mark on several points. A friendly staff member took the initial order, then a manager stepped in – both provided good service. The issue began when I was offered a bag and said yes, without being told it would cost 50p for a flimsy paper bag that isn’t reusable.

The food was disappointing. The butter chicken was tough and dry, the potatoes undercooked. Only the rice and green beans were worth eating.

The layout is pleasant, with plenty of seating, but that alone doesn’t make up for the poor food quality.

The food here is full of flavor and served fresh! The presentation was neat, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the balance of spices — just the right kick without being overwhelming. Definitely a place I’d come back to for a cozy and tasty meal.

I cam from Belfast, I had breakfast here and came back for lunch too! price to quality and portion value is good! Masala chae was ON SPOT!!! Generous portions!

Absolutely appaulled! Bought a portion of chips for my little one which cost £4.50 for a portion that is just about a handful. Furthermore, the cashier took my card to tap on the card reader herself telling me she cannot extend the card reader out to me. Disappointed at the food portion and service. Definitely will not be back after the service.

First and foremost, I want to say how incredibly kind and welcoming the team is — it's truly a joy to be greeted with such bright smiles and positive energy! It makes all the difference. Secondly, the food was absolutely outstanding! Every bite was bursting with freshness and flavor, a real culinary delight. The portions were perfectly balanced, and let’s just say… I left a few envious friends behind who’ll definitely be joining me next time! Huge congratulations to the whole team — you’ve created something truly special! 😊

All meat on our menu is Halal. No pork or alcohol served.

Masala Chai Nashta x Curry In A Box

The meal was enjoyable, particularly the paratha and omelette, and the chai was delicious. The only issue I had was that the menu is not clearly labelled. For example, we wanted masala potatoes with our desi nashta but were told that this was only available on the weekend.

I thought the food was amazing, the guy  was happy to help me with selecting food. I was only working in the area, and stopped by chance, after reading online reviews. I was not disappointed. Not much choice but the food was delicious. At a great value. It was that good, I went back  a second time. Definitely worth a visit..

A spontaneous last minute chance brunch visit proved to be a great choice 👌🏼 charming & calm atmosphere with quirky fun deco .. the staff were incredibly accommodating - joining 6 tables for us. They were polite and very helpful even though it was busy. We ordered a variety of things & it was all nice & IF YOU WANT NICE DESI TEA THEN THIS IS THE PLACE!

The cost of a breakfast (including a hot drink) was £10 - £13 which is v reasonable. There was something for everyone - no milkshake options which left the kids a little disappointed but the hot chocolate made up for it. I am giving this place 5 stars mainly due to it being reasonably priced. Too many breakfast places are overpriced making it unaffordable for large families. Parking is an issue like everywhere else in london 🤪

Food here was great, especially the chicken keema. The English breakfast was not the best and the customer service skills are absolutely poor. I love the food so much I come back but have to face the lack of customer service skills the staff have here.

Tried their breakfast offer only available from 9am-11am: Omelette bhurji and roti with Chai (the UK breakfast version). Had a wonderful breakfast, brings back my Dubai food memories. Was there early, cafe opens 09:15 (they opened today 09:17am - cannot be bothered for 2 minutes) and was served immediately - smooth customer service. Enjoyed my breakfast and so with the cafe atmosphere!

Dawat Tooting

Absolutely lovely place and experience at Dawat today. We arrived only 40 minutes before their closing time but they provided excellent service regardless by setting the table nicely and allowing us to order anything we wanted. Food was delicious even tho it was the end of the day. We will definitely be back.

Had a delightful dining experience. The food was delicious, with the Chicken Karahi and Pulao standing out. The service was top-notch, thanks to Abdul Salam's friendly, polite, and attentive communication. The staff maintained a neat and clean environment, overall love it specially Mr. Abdul Salam.

I had the pleasure of dining at Dawat Restaurant in Tooting Broadway and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The food was absolutely outstanding — each dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the [mention a standout dish], which was cooked to perfection and bursting with taste.

Equally impressive was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server made excellent recommendations and checked in often without being intrusive. It’s clear the team takes pride in creating a memorable experience for their guests.

The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. I’ll definitely be returning soon — highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and exceptional hospitality!

I had an amazing dining experience at Dawat! The chicken biryani was absolutely delicious—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and fragrant. The samosas and kebabs were also top-notch, crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful fillings. The overall quality of the food truly exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Dawat to anyone looking for authentic and tasty cuisine. I can't wait to go back!

Dawat is a very popular restaurant with modern interior. It was busy when I arrived and I have to say the food didn’t take long to get served.

The chairs were comfortable, the table is a decent size and clean. The toilets were cleanish.

Staff were very friendly!

The food tasted amazing the lamb curry was freshly made and piping hot. The kebab was juicy and moist with flavour. The Samosa Chaat was delicious, sweet and flavoursome.

I have found my new Indian restaurant and I can’t wait to go back to try more food from the menu. Next I will record a video with more food to review.

Tayyabs

Tayyabs is one of those London spots people always talk about, and after going, I get why. The Punjabi food is bold, full of spice, and cooked with real character. The lamb chops are the dish everyone raves about for a reason…smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. The karahi curries are rich, hearty, and perfect for sharing around the table. Portions are generous, so you won’t leave hungry.

The atmosphere is buzzing and energetic. It’s not a quiet or intimate restaurant, but that’s part of the charm. It feels alive, with big groups, sizzling plates, and constant movement. Seating can be tight, and it does get noisy, so don’t expect a calm dinner. This is more about enjoying the food and the energy of the place.

Service is quick, sometimes a little rushed, but that matches the pace of the restaurant. Food usually comes out fast and fresh, which is impressive given how busy it gets. The interior is simple and functional…it’s clear the focus here is all about the food.

You might walk out with your clothes carrying the smoky aroma of the grill, but honestly, that’s part of the experience. Overall, Tayyabs is a London institution worth visiting. Go with friends or family, order plenty, and enjoy the flavors.

Food was great and really well priced, especially if you’re sharing. The fact that you can bring your own drinks makes it even more affordable, especially for groups. There were six of us, and we ordered:

1x water
2x lamb chops (a must)
2x chicken tikka
2x dry meat signature (another must)
2x saag paneer
2x karahi chicken
2x pilau rice
5x garlic naan

Came to just £26 each which is insane value for the quality in London

Food came quickly but service was generally quite chaotic

The place was busy and busy means good vibes! Somewhere whenever you want to dine with family or friends. The service was great didn’t take more than 5 mins to be seated and quickly served water and salad and some poppadoms with we election of sauces. The food came very quickly and hot too! The naan bread was cooked so fluffy!
Overly experience was great, and very busy that I don’t think I saw the same waiter twice!
Thank you and see you again.

One of the best Punjabi restaurants in London! The lamb chops is a must try and mango smoothie. The curries were packed with flavours. Generous portions and good value for money.

The service was good, friendly staff and the venue is usually very busy so it can be loud. Expect long queues even though if you have a booking.

I would definitely recommend this place if you fancy some good curry and willing to wait for a table and like loud atmosphere.

Tayyabs is an East London icon — loud, lively, and unapologetically flavourful. It’s the kind of place where the energy is electric, the aroma hits you the moment you walk in, and the food speaks for itself.

The lamb chops are hands down the star of the show — smoky, tender, and perfectly charred with just the right amount of heat. The chicken tikka is another winner — juicy, well-marinated, and fresh off the grill. Pair that with hot, pillowy naan or their crispy, buttery garlic paratha, and you’re in for a treat.

The Mutton Karahi is rich, robust, and deeply spiced — a proper hearty dish that’s full of depth. The Chicken Saag, with its creamy spinach base and tender meat, brings a lovely balance to the table.

Service is fast-paced but efficient, and the staff know the menu inside out — they’ll happily guide you if you’re unsure. Whether you’re here for a big feast or just a plate of those iconic chops, Tayyabs never disappoints. Just be sure to book ahead — queues are real, and rightly so!

Boutique hotel in central London with an Indian gastropub

Three Falcons Hotel & Pub

We chose this place because it was the closest to our Airbnb!  WOW - the food, the ambiance, the people!!!
Krishna was patient and kind and explained the dishes to us.
The food … Amazing!  The flavors, the aromas, the entire meal was excellent.
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
If we return to London - we will make a trip to eat here again.

Location is far from everything. Half mile walk to tube. Did not have running water and they offered no refund or remedy. Could not use toilet, shower, or sink form 9:00PM to 8:00AM.

I stayed at the Three Falcons Hotel in early October 2025, and unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. Every night of my stay, from 9:00PM to 8:00AM, the hotel completely shut off all running water. This meant no toilet, sink, or shower use during normal evening and morning hours.

I reported the issue to the front desk on the first night, and staff confirmed that the entire property was without water overnight for the duration of my stay. The only “solution” offered was bottled water. I also contacted Booking.com during my stay, but no relocation or refund was provided.
Guests should be informed of such outages before booking, or offered alternative arrangements.

I would not recommend this property since they cannot guarantee that basic utilities are consistently available.

The four of us had a lovely dinner at the restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive to our needs. Arafat also takes good photographs. We find the food very much to our taste. As regular Indian cuisine goers we reckon this is the higher quality end of Indian food. All the staff are well mannered and polite. Definitely going back there as often as possible. TQ Arafat for looking after us.

OUTSTANDING! Great rooms, great breakfast, great staff. The breakfast was a typical breakfast for a hotel, and completely correct. Toast, coffee, jams, meats, cereal. The rooms were clean and serviced daily. They had all amenities except a fridge, including a hair dryer and iron setup. The rooms are modern and come equipped with AC. The staff is incredibly friendly, the restaurant attached has Indian cuisine and it actually was my favorite meal while we were visiting (also had an English food selection on the same menu). Held our bags for us before and after check in while we waited for our flight. The location has several bus lines within a block and walking distance to 3 tube stations. Couldn’t have asked for a better 3 day stay. I will be back for sure.

This restaurant you can smell from a block away. The heady aroma of spices waft on the air. A delightful pub/ restaurant basically serves a small but perfect combination of Indian dishes. There are more conventional foods to order but you will be tempted to try the Indian dishes. There were four of us. We all had a different main and all were delicious in their own way. Cobra beer on tap and friendly staff all combined to make a great evening.
There are rooms to be had over the pub, hence the ‘Hotel’
Definitely worth a visit.

I ordered a naan for pick-up honestly, it was a terrible experience. When I got my order, the naan was completely burnt. On top of that, the lady at the counter had a very rude attitude — no apology, nothing. Lady is so rude to every other customer. Definitely not coming back here.

Best food and very attentive service. Can't recommend enough this place. Me and my whole family keep coming back to this place. The prices are far better than anywhere else.

I have placed lamb haleem order in uber eats by paying 11£ and you know  the haleem what they serve me is like lentil soup which doesn’t even have lamb in it even im searching in it

Julie's who respond to my order on Uber eats was amazing I ask golden crispy chips. Not asking to be over cooked or burnt. He respond on collection great customer service. I was very impressed.

The restaurant has a unique blend of Pakistani and Indian cuisine, and it's always bustling with people, even late into the night. Although we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our food, it was worth it. The grilled chicken was particularly delicious and tasted fresh and well-cooked. In my opinion, it's even better than some of the bigger chain restaurants nearby that claim to specialize in doner kebabs.

So, not something I do often, but had brunch today. Decided to go to @dishoom . Chicken and lamb are halal, however I opted for a non meat breakfast. Pictured - KEJRIWAL
Two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast. £4.90 and AKURI
Spicy scrambled eggs — an Irani café staple — piled up richly alongside 
plump pau buns and served with grilled tomato. £6.90 along with some malsala beans. 
The top dish pictured , AKURI was the best, spicy, flavoured and textured well. The KEJRIWAL was disappointing. The venue is very well decorated and worth a visit to experience the atmosphere. However, is not very good value for money in my opinion. But as usual, I recommend going to experience the quirky environment and judge the food yourself. Make sure to visit the rest rooms.

@halalfoodguy's review of Dishoom Kings Cross on Instagram

Dishoom King's Cross

It had been ten years since the last time I visited the King’s Cross location and it was just as good as I remembered. Every dish was full of flavor and perfect for sharing. Since we didn’t have a reservation, glad we showed up early for a blue hair dinnertime as the line was long outside when we left. So be prepared to wait during busy times, but it’s worth the wait.

It was my first time trying Indian food, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and even though the restaurant was quite busy, the food came out quickly. Such a wonderful experience — I’m really impressed!

The restaurant is beautifully laid out, ample space and great interiors! Lots of details paying homage to vintage India! (Check out the loos - lol)

I found that for the portion sizes you were getting, the prices were pretty inflated. To pay £18 for a biryani and get nothing on the side - not even a small bit of raitha (you normally get this whenever you have an authentic biryani) was disappointing. Paying the same amount (£18) for a single portion of chicken curry - this would normally cost max £15 or less! Similarly, paying over £5 for a small naan or roti was again, disappointing.

We were in a group, and felt rushed by the lady serving us. Whilst she was pleasant overall - I understand that the restaurant may be busy, but members of our group were feeling pressured by the way she was communicating and taking orders which is not how you want to feel when dining out! Especially when there is a big group of us there for a celebration.

Breakfast options look a little more interesting and accessible !

Dishoom is great if you’re after a surreal atmosphere that makes you feel like you have been transported to India, and want to splurge on something a bit special! But unfortunately due to the above, I won’t be coming back anytime soon!

Visiting Dishoom King’s Cross for the first time was a real treat, and it certainly lived up to its reputation. My wife had been before, so she already knew what to expect, but for me it was something completely new. We were slightly pressed for time as we had a train to catch back up north, so I was a little worried about queues and delays. Sure enough, when we arrived there was already a queue forming outside, and the weather looked like it was about to turn. Thankfully, the team at Dishoom were quick to act – we were seated outside almost immediately, and service began straight away. That efficiency made a big difference, as it meant we could relax and enjoy the meal without clock-watching.

The setting itself was welcoming, even outdoors. Despite the looming rain, the atmosphere carried the lively, bustling energy that Dishoom is known for. There’s a sense that you’re part of something bigger than just a restaurant – more like a communal dining experience where everyone is there for the same reason: good food and a warm vibe. By the time we were leaving, the rain had just started to fall, which made the timing feel almost perfect.

As for the food, it really was excellent. Everything we ordered arrived quickly and was cooked to perfection. Dishoom has a reputation for bold, flavourful Indian dishes that balance authenticity with modern touches, and that was exactly what we experienced. From the seasoning to the presentation, nothing felt rushed despite our limited time. It’s rare to feel both unhurried and well-looked after in such a busy spot, but the staff managed it brilliantly.

Overall, Dishoom King’s Cross was a fantastic first-time experience for me. Efficient service, delicious food, and great timing meant we left full, happy, and on schedule for our train.

Very good Indian food!! The cocktails were delicious and the chicken ruby was one of the best butter chickens I’ve ever had. I will say, the waiter warned my party that it was quite spicy, however I have had spicier. People who can tolerate mild spice will be able to enjoy this dish - it does have a kick, but it is not too intense. Also, I would recommend having a reservation to avoid waiting in a long line to dine. Will be returning next time I am in the city!

Our lamb and chicken is Halal. Alcohol is served. Bacon is served on our breakfast menu. Ask a member of staff for details.

Dishoom

Managed to walk in a get a table with no wait yesterday. I had brunch at a place near by but it didn't hit the spot. So being the fatty I am I went to @dishoom and got the lamb biryani. Such a good choice, my first time I've had it. I found it delicious. Lamb cooked perfectly, moist fluffy rice, spices all balanced out and really flavoursome. Definitely a top biryani and for less than a tenner

Where your best biryani (apart from your mum's of course)

@halalfoodguy's review of Dishoom Covent Garden on Instagram

Dishoom Covent Garden

A modern restaurant in a great central location serving excellent quality Indian dishes. Pretty huge menu can be quite overwhelming but does offer plenty of choice. Fantastic curries including mutton which was excellent and monkfish as well as the classic Chicken Ruby. The Biryani was great with a jackfruit option for the non meat eaters and the black daal was amazing! Some excellent drink options too with refreshing lassis, trendy cocktails and the classic Kingfisher beer and Thums Up Asian cola. Would recommend booking in advance as gets very busy with queues often spanning round the block. Service can be touch and go particularly during busy periods where you’re often fighting to get someone’s attention but overall a great experience with delicious food.

I heard so much about this place for years and trust me it lived up to the hype 100% in terms of food, service and the atmosphere. It was a Monday afternoon and the place was full, thankfully they had a table for 1 available so I managed to tuck in.

Ordered their Keema Pav and Lamb chops, perfect level of spice which shows their authenticity. Also worth trying is their Crispy okra and Shrimps.

Make a reservation if possible or be prepared to wait in line for over 30 minutes if walking in after 5pm. Highly recommended and I’ll visit again to try more items on the menu.

Visited Dishoom again and it didn't fail me. Waitress recommended me the okra fries (fried lady finger- 7.70 pounds)and mutton pepper fry (19.50 pounds). Added a garlic naan (5.40 pounds). Prices exclude service charge.

Service was great. Do note that there is optional service charge of 12.5% in the bill where you need to inform the server to remove if you are not satisfy with the service. However, service is great so definitely no issue giving to them. Other restaurants are already charging the same amount.

We ordered Chilli Chicken and Masala Prawns for starters, Garlic Naan and Chicken Ruby for the main, and Mango Lassi to drink.

The Chilli Chicken was crispy and tasty, though not quite spicy enough for a South Indian palate. The Masala Prawns were the highlight — perfectly marinated and wonderfully crisp. Chicken Ruby was excellent, slightly sweet, with tender thigh pieces that came off the bone effortlessly. The Mango Lassi was a pure delight to finish off the meal.

Service could be improved — it was hard to find a waitress when needed, and the place was a bit noisy. The table we were given was also broken and taped up, which took away from the otherwise great experience.

P.S. Definitely make a reservation beforehand, as it gets quite busy!

Dishoom doesn’t need a critical review. It’s buzzing like the AI boom. Always has a line out the door, especially this original location. They dine you fast so don’t be discouraged by the long lines. We walked in on a busy Saturday evening & managed to snag a table in 30 mins. The vibe of the restaurant is electric, two floors packed with customers & waiters running around harmoniously. It’s really a well run restaurant with top customer service. The menu is intriguing & drool worthy. We tried a bunch of the things - pav bhaji, house chaat, chicken ruby, garlic naan & Kashmiri Chili ice cream. All taste good, but not out of this world good. They do the nail that Bombay Irani cafe vibe & overall it’s a crowd pleaser of a place. Dishoom is an impressive place to visit but isn’t necessarily a memorable one. Again, it doesn’t need this critique as it does a commendable job and it’s gonna thrive for years to come.

I think i ordered a bit too much! Took advantage of the 50% off at Dishoom in Carnaby Street (till Tuesday) @dishoom

Pictured is the Sali Bolti and the lamb chops. First time I tried the chief's special curry and it was really good. 
Lamb chops where a just a tad on the dry side but still very good nevertheless. 
The atmosphere and decor is not as good as the other branch's in my opinion. Didnt have that old school Indian vibe. 
The queue was around 30mins to get in. Special shout out to our waitress Shannon, who gave me the best and most personable service I've had. Make sure you ask for her.

@halalfoodguy's review of Dishoom Carnaby on Instagram

Dishoom Carnaby

I was wondering why so many people queueing to the place. It’s modern Indian cuisine.

Tasty, good price vs quality, but same time nothing beyond the universe.
Incredibly well organized the booking process and service in general.

I love open kitchen style, it builds the trust and confidence in a food.

Only one dish with prawns and it’s not the best which I tried. However lamb was delicious

We walked in from the street with no reservations and I feel we got the last table. We had such a good experience. With everything. The service was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and very delicious. Especially the salad we had was worth mentioning. I would eat that every day if possible 😍. I will work hard at home to try replicate that🫶🏻

Stopped by this Indian restaurant and was immediately taken by the great view — definitely a lovely setting. There was a long line, but they managed it well by seating us in the bar area while we waited, which was a nice touch. The service stood out — especially our server, who was fantastic and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcome throughout.

Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations and lacked the depth of flavour I was hoping for. That said, the prices were reasonable, and the overall experience was still enjoyable. Would consider giving it another try.

A lovely Indian cuisine restaurant in London that’s definitely worth a visit. The service was excellent, and the restaurant itself was clean, welcoming, and had a great ambiance. The food was of high quality, with rich, delightful flavors throughout. It's set in a very cool part of London, which adds to the experience. Prices were reasonable, making it a great value. Highly recommend!

Good food has always been a source of happiness, and after having some really comforting dishes with the added love and zing from the lovely wait staff, Sheri,(MAJOR SHOUTOUT TO HER!!) this evening—I’m left without words to describe how happy and content I feel walking out of this place.

As a chef and someone from the hospitality industry myself, it makes me truly happy to see and experience such joyful food spaces. A 10/10 recommendation to anyone visiting or living in London who wants soulful food with a touch of Bombay love.

Indi-go Rasoi Westfield Stratford

Dear Indi-Go Rasoi, if I am going to spend £21.20 on hunters lamb chops and pilau rice, you should be nice enough to not burn my lamb chops.

We all already know that lamb chops doesn’t have as much meat, but over cooking it until it’s burnt and dry (no meat juice) and then serving it is awful, the entire meal tasted bitter because of the burnt ashes on the lamb chops. It was so bad I had to ask for chilli oil from Mrs Chew’s to make the meal taste OKAY!

I can never return to your restaurant to buy anything because this entire experience was awful.

Tried chole bhature here , the curry is burned its overcooked and you can feel it in every bite. Burning smell is so strong But they still served burned curry to customer. Very disappointing, never going to visit again.

Indi-Go Rasoi at Westfield Stratford offers a variety of Indian street food, including dishes like butter chicken, lamb biryani, wraps and various tandoori items. I felt there is a scope for service-related drawbacks. Getting seat for dining will be a challenge especially during peak hours. Was an average dining experience.

I love Indo's street food. Full of flavour. My favourite has to be the Samosa Chaat

Extremely appropriated Indian food. Quantity was alright but there was a general lack of salt and flavour in the paneer wrap. The chutney was sweet too so literally felt like chewing wet sweet bread with paneer and unsalted fries.

Indi-go Rasoi Westfield White City

I had a great experience at Indi.go today. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavour — truly satisfying!
A special thanks to Qiran who took my order. She was extremely polite, attentive, and professional. The way she interacted and communicated made the whole dining experience even better. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out.
I would definitely recommend Indi.go to others, not only for the food but also for the outstanding service. Looking forward to visiting again soon

Me and my Mrs went to do some shopping and then we got very hungry so we ordered some food from Indi-Go. We ordered the butter chicken with rice, lamb dish with rice, naan bread and 2 coke
I must say the food was delicious, the chicken and the lamb was nice and tender. I definitely recommend it

Quick review of the masala tea and service of this venue.  Really good tea and the service was very good. Polite and quick. Only negative option to opt out of adding refined sugar.

Food was incredible, I initially just stopped with a friend who ordered the lamb curry and they let me try a bite and it was so good I went and ordered it for myself. Kyami was lovely!

Had a fantastic experience at Indigo Rassoi. The lovely lady Kiran took great care of us  warm, polite, and always attentive. She made the meal feel extra special. Great food, great service, and Kiran’s hospitality was the highlight of the evening!

Delicious, freshly prepared Indian-style wraps

Naan Wrap

I was roaming around Old Spitalfield Market today and found Naan Wrap while been approached by a wonderful man. The sales guy was very professional, kind and knowledgeable about the menu.

We had 2 taco's and Mango Lassi. It was absolutely mouthwatering, special thanks to chef.

Naan Wrap has a very unique menu of mixtures, from tacos to wrap, rice box to Fries!

It's bit expensive, but the taste is definitely worthy. I'll highly recommend this place.

It was really amazing, I got the butter chicken tacos definitely it’s one of the best tacos I loved the idea the concept, I would try it again and again. Also the mango Lace was very good.

I must admit I've only ever eaten the peshwari naan from Naan Wrap, but it really is amazing!! So tasty. So fresh. In fact it's made fresh in front of you. One naan is £4 but it might be one of the best I've ever eaten and isn't dripping in ghee. The guy out front hands out small piece of butter naan which is also delicious and the butter chicken looks delicious although I've never tried it.

Excellent customer service when asking questions about the food and order system. Our food was AMAZING! Such amazing flavours. I got the rice with butter chicken and mint yoghurt.... yummylicious 😋 and friend ordered fries with kebab and the special sauce. 😋 Yes I tried my mates also. We ended up going half on each as we enjoyed both foods. Definitely will be visiting again....oh... the masala tea was a great finish also 👌🏻

amazing food and service, i got the butter chicken naan tacos. nothing like ive ever had before

All meat is Halal. No alcohol or pork served.

Indian street food with a sprinkle of Thai influences

Naimul and I have literally gone on a burger binge for the past couple weeks so we decided to cool off with some Indian 😂
.
@scarletrasoi is a newly launched Asian Street Food restaurant in the o2, specialising in an Indian/Thai fusion. We ordered the Petit Dosa and Masala Chips as our sides and loved them, especially the chips as they didn’t wilt and were crispy even when they cooled down 👌🏽 the Indian Mee Goreng was delicious too and the best fusion dish. We didn’t LOVE the butter chicken as it was very tomato...ey? 😂 The Mango Lassi could have been a little thinner and sweeter too. However, we would definitely go back to try more of the dishes including the Lamb Chops and Lamb Roganjosh!

New Restaurant! [GET 15% off your bill - BELOW] Finally there's a good food option at the o2, I visit the cinema  once a week and there's such a lack of halal good options but now there's a new Indian and Thai restaurant that's opened up called @scarletrasoi .
Yes, Indian and Thai, I was had doubts with the combination but I really enjoyed the food here. The open Kitchen is split, on my visit I saw different chefs that handle the Indian menu (70% of the menu is Indian) and separate chefs handle the Thai food
.
The menu is simple to digest and is split into 3 parts, starters which are all around £6 to £8, grilled items £10 to £14 and main courses £10 to £13

@halalfoodguy's review of Scarlet Rasoi The O2 on Instagram

Scarlet Rasoi

We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant today! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From starters to desserts, everything was spot on and beautifully presented.

A special mention to the staff — especially the gentleman who looked after us mr bimal,He was so polite, attentive, and genuinely caring. He made sure we were comfortable throughout, checked on us at the right times, and gave great recommendations. His warm hospitality truly made our meal even more enjoyable.

Thank you for such an amazing dining experience — we’ll definitely be back soon! 🍽️👏

I was craving for a good samosa chat and I happened to bump into Sahil of Scarlet Rasoi who greeted me with a big warm smile. The samosa chat is by far the best one in the Greenwich. Here is why this  samosa chat is the best one- Along with the yoghurt and the mint chutney, they garnish the chat with the anardana chutney (pomegranate chutney) instead of the usual tamarind paste. And apart from hitting the right taste buds, the portion is also wholesome. Therefore I highly recommend the samosa chat at Scarlet Rasoi.

We had a group of 9 which they happily accommodated us all very quickly. Our waitress Ramya was lovely from start to finish. Ensured we got our food quickly, the food itself was delicious. Would recommend!

Disappointing Experience – Won’t Be Returning

My partner and I decided to try somewhere different for dinner, but unfortunately, this place was a letdown from start to finish. At first, everything seemed fine, but things quickly went downhill.

Usually, at Indian restaurants, you order mains separately, but some meals here stated they come with curry, rice, and salad. For just under £20 per person, we expected a decent portion. I ordered the lamb curry, and my partner had the chicken. What we got was shocking — a small scoop of rice, a tiny bit of salad, and an extremely small portion of curry. My partner’s chicken curry had maybe five small pieces of chicken in it — very underwhelming for the price.

To make matters worse, while I was still eating, a staff member came over and started rushing us to pay. I was honestly shocked by how rude and pushy she was — never had service like that before. I don’t know if she thought we were going to run off without paying, or if that’s just how they operate to turn tables quickly, but it left a bad taste.

Overall, the food wasn’t authentic, the portions were tiny, and the service was terrible. Definitely won’t be going back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others either.

Probably one of the most pleasant places to eat at the O2, especially as it's not a chain and so has a fairly unique and attractive approach to things. The menu is varied, mainly staple Indian dishes done well and some Thai dishes as well. Thoroughly enjoyed sharing a bunch of starter plates which were tasty and filling. Service was good and overall I would say it's a step above most of the other food on offer at the O2. I would definitely come again.

All of our meat is Halal. We serve alcohol.

Home of the unexplored flavors of India - inspired by Calcutta's 300-year-old heritage

Chourangi

Amazing restaurant for authentic Indian Bengali food! The host who served us was so welcoming, always smiling, and made the experience even better. Every dish we tried was really, really tasty – full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Price-wise it’s reasonable, and the portion sizes are just right for one person. Overall, a wonderful place to enjoy delicious Bengali cuisine with warm hospitality. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for Indian food with a difference, this is the place to come. The menu takes inspiration from regional food in India that you don't usually see in a standard curry house. The dishes all tasted great, but the aubergine with mango was the standout feature for us. The service was also friendly and attentive and the decor is stylish and calming. We will definitely be back.

We stopped here on a whim and had some of the best lamb curry we’ve ever had.
The Kosha lamb was perfectly seasoned, tender, melt in your mouth lamb.
The staff recommended this dish and we could see why it was their specialty.
Wish we discovered this place earlier in our visit to London - we would have tried more dishes.

Delicious food, fantastic service, and very relaxing ambience. A group of friends and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening. Make sure you make reservations because they do fill up quickly during the busy dining hours on the weekend.

We ordered a variety of appetizers (banana, flour, chili chicken, poppadum and the bread basket), which were tasty and satisfying.  For dinner, I had the chicken chap with Calcutta garlic naan.  The meal was absolute perfection and just the right portion for my appetite.  I also ordered coconut ice cream for dessert, which was not too sweet.

The service was spot-on.  One person from our party arrived over an hour after the reservation time, but the servers did not make us feel rushed nor pressured to order before he arrived.  We also told our server that we were celebrating a birthday and he brought us complimentary glasses of champagne, which was super thoughtful.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys local Calcutta cuisine.

Authentic Bengali food and most importantly the fish fry, prawn cutlet was too good, chicken biryani - totally kolkata style. So without any doubt you can opt this place for authentic Bengali food. Very nice ambience 😊

Farzi London

Food and service were nice.
The drinks were much better! Lovely creative flavours.

There wasn't anything that stood out really, it was a lovely Indian restaurant serving good Indian food. If that's what you're after then it's a comfortable option.

It missed the Wow Feeling at this brilliant location.

Might go back if I'm looking for comfort food.

We had perfect dinner at Farzi, not for the first time.
The food is excellent and many gluten free and vegeterian options, clearly marked in allergen menu.
Joel, our waitress was super helpful and minded our food restrictions throughout the evening.
We especially liked spinach chaat, cauliflower and the palak paneer. The lassi options were great too!
Thank you!

We stopped by for couple of drinks and appetizers before the show. They were very nice to accommodate us quickly and made sure we were served fast. Just a lovely place with good food.

We went for a wedding anniversary dinner. The staff were super friendly and charming from the beginning to the end. The portions were very good sized and all of them tasted great. We couldn’t fault anything. The server also gave us an anniversary card signed by the restaurant staff which was a sweet touch. An outstanding experience from start to finish on our special day. Definitely will be back!

Overall, was a wonderful dinner experience. We did the Taste of Farzi meal with a small bite to start, 3 starters, and a main course. Everything was delicious and came out well timed. Pranav was a great server - very attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed and that the food was prepared well. The restaurant itself is modern and trendy with low mood lighting that sets the tables in a warm glow. The jazz music in the background adds to the warm atmosphere and lively conversations. Definitely recommend making a stop!

To be honest I wasn't expecting much for the price however I was pleasantly surprised. There were a number of different dishes included and good portion sizes.
The brunch option was £29 per person and I think it's definitely worth the money. The quality and flavours of the food were excellent. I would definitely recommend visiting and going for the brunch menu.
I will be visiting again in the near future.

I would like to thank Ana from the admin team to have made this evening possible for 20 people. She was very helpful and accommodating and made sure we had everything according to us. Secondly I would like to thank Chef Tina who made an amazing dessert platter for the special person of the evening and made this farewell party less bitter and more sweet. And lastly I would to personally thank and appreciate  Shatrupa who made sure everything was taken care of even with 20 orders and all the chaos and questions. She was absolutely wonderful. Overall a wonderful experience for all of us. Greatly appreciated ☺️

The atmosphere and service is 5 ⭐️ but when it comes to food, it’s pretty average. We had ordered samosa chat, prawns chettinad and chicken Biriyani and all of these tasted just average. Nothing extraordinary which will give a craving for 2nd visit. At the end we thought to try the ras malai to end the meal in a better note but the ras malai was more like a savoury dhokla dish with yogurty taste instead of sweetness. Very weird! I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place if you are looking for good Indian food.

Amazing ambience, warm welcome and fantastic service at Cinnamon Kitchen!

We had chilly paneer, cauliflower, malai broccoli and veg biryani—all absolutely delicious. The surprise ginger caramel pudding and mint tea for our special day made it extra memorable.
Truly one of the best Indian dining experiences!

A special mention to our server Nurul, who was incredibly polite, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout. He knows the menu and suggested good options.
Thank you for a great time — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Ruchi, gave us a warm welcome and an excellent service from start to finish.
Though the restaurant was busy, we were well looked after by her and her team.
Food was excellent.
Drinks perfect.
The tasting menu we chose was quite generous and of good variety to give us different tastes of India. Will certainly visit the restaurant again.

Our chicken and lamb is Halal. Halal meat orders will be cooked away from pork and non-Halal meats.

I went to Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea with my friends for my hen party brunch, and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Kranthi, was friendly, attentive, and really made sure we had everything we needed.
The brunch itself was fantastic value. We enjoyed dishes like hummus, beetroot, and Bombay eggs with prata (with the option of extra bread for a small charge). For mains, I had the salmon curry and lamb Rogan Josh, served with pilau rice, black lentils, and a bread basket full of fresh, piping-hot naan — some of the softest and tastiest I’ve ever had. The gluten-free ginger toffee pudding for dessert was a real highlight, and the pistachio coffee was the perfect finish.
Drinks and the 12.5% service charge for large groups were additional, but we still left an extra tip for Crane because the service was excellent.
The location is also a huge bonus — it’s right by the river, next to Megan’s at Battersea Power Station, with a free picnic area, a lovely river walk, and all the shopping inside the Power Station. It makes a great spot not just for celebrations, but also for families, couples, and friends to enjoy a day out.
I’d highly recommend Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea for its food, service, and unbeatable setting.

We were torn between an afternoon tea at Cinnamon Kitchen, or going to Dishoom - and I’m so glad we decided on the afternoon tea at Cinnamon Kitchen! The food was incredible quality, and the atmosphere was very beautiful and relaxing. My personal favourite was the fish cake sandwich (and the chocolate mousse!) The service and the staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure we were happy throughout, particularly our waiter, Novin. A wonderful experience - I would absolutely come again!

Visited Cinnamon Kitchen for the first time.    We were warmly welcomed at the start. We went for chicken biryani which was delicious, well spiced and full of flavour.
For desert I went for a passion fruit creme brulee, which was absolutely delicious!

The service was lovely and welcomed.

Highly recommend especially with options to sit outside.

First time visiting Cinnamon Kitchen and by far the best Indian meal I’ve had out. Went to Battersea Power Station venue, it was a relaxed and attractive setting. Was lucky enough to be able to get a table without booking.
The tandoori chicken and salmon dishes were outstanding, as myself and husband aren’t capable to too spicy a meals. My son had a vegetarian cauliflower dish, much spicier he enjoyed it and found it very tasty too.
The cinnamon ice cream however was amazing, think it might be my favourite ice cream.
Would highly recommend a visit, staff were friendly and personable.

We really enjoyed our meal here at Cinnamon Kitchen. We opted for the 9 Dish Sharing Meal which left us absolutely stuffed at the end! Each plate was delicious, well prepared and seasoned. A shout out to Beso who made our stay here an enjoyable one. We'd recommend to all!

Colony Restaurant

First time coming here and it was to celebrate my brother's birthday. The staff are so lovely and helpful. The decor is amazing and the place is very clean. The food was really nice. Mocktail was amazing! Loved the dessert too. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely looking restaurant on a busy High Street, but with ample parking nearby (pass the restaurant, type in Isaac Newton academy).

Our waiter Azi was exemplary, recommended dishes and was on hand at every course. When the food arrived, it looked lovely and tasted great! The lamp chops and chilli paneer where great!!

I was a little disappointed that our briyani's won't as amazing, but still tasted good and the portion size was reasonable (enough to per portion for one adult and a child i would say)

On a final note, make sure you get the cheesecake and try the mocktails, I had a blue pineapple mohito and it was superb!!

There is also a prayer space allocated at the front of the restaurant.

First-time visit and it was great 👌
We went on a family outing to celebrate a relative’s first anniversary. It was a Saturday evening, just as the restaurant opened, and we had made an earlier reservation for the group.
The service was excellent, from a warm welcome, to accommodating our request for seating that allowed space for a baby in a pram. The waiters were especially friendly with our two young children and even gave them a little treat (boxed brownies) at the end of the meal.
We ordered a variety of starters including poppadoms, paneer, prawns, and chaat. The prawns were fantastic, well cooked with just the right amount of spice for a little kick. The only small criticism was that the poppadoms could have been served with larger portions of dips.
For the mains, we had steak, a mixed grill, curries, and burgers for the kids. Everything was cooked well, full of flavour, and enjoyed by all. The chops and steak in particular received rave reviews.
To finish, we ordered a selection of desserts along with kharak chai. The desserts were excellent, rich in flavour, with the right texture and moisture. The chai was smooth, flavoursome, and perfectly sweetened.
Before leaving, it was time for prayers, and once again the staff accommodated us by providing a prayer area and prayer mats.

Overall, the experience was outstanding. The combination of great food, excellent service, and a clean, spacious setting makes this restaurant ideal not just for casual meals, but also for celebrating special occasions. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be going back to try more of the dishes we didn’t get to sample this time.

First time here with family and we all loved it. We came when it was rather quiet. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. All our courses was delicious. The restaurant was clean. Parking available in a nearby carpark free in the evening. Praying facilities also available. Staff also gave free brownie favour to the kids. Will return again.

went for a birthday dinner - would definitely recommend the chops, the cheesecake, the samosa chaat, and the buttered naans, they were the standouts ! their mocktails were lovely as well, my family really liked the pina coladas.

there’s free parking near the back in the academy in the evenings, and the interior of the restaurant is lovely for gatherings !

they did forget one of the dishes we ordered and a drink, so we had to cancel one item off the menu - but they were quite quick with their service otherwise
