Halal Reviews for The Tamil Prince Islington

Have to make a reservation in advance as this place is popular! They have limited indoor table seating and have additional counter seating which I didnt mind and actually preferred. The decor and atmosphere is nice and cozy even if a little dark. The dining area is small but the small bar is cute. You get a warm welcome and great friendly service here, everything is explained to you, wait staff are attentive plus patient and that alone would bring me back. The menu is not extensive but the food is delicious! The food came oit piping hot and fresh with no long waits. The Okra Fries and King Prawn Curry leaf dish was the highlight for me! So moreish and reminding me of my family elders cooking from my childhood. It was like that end scene from Ratatouille 😊 The paneer Masala was tasty and creamy, the lamb curry had nice chunks of meat, the coconut rice fluffy and flavoursome with decent portion sizes. Only downside for me personally was the chicken lollipop was a little dry and maybe a little pot of curry gravy would have gone well with it 🤔 The Mango Lassi was delicious and I loved having the Gulab Jamen warm. Highly recommend a visit and I'm scheduling in a time to come back for the Sunday Roast I've heard so much about!

We were quickly seated as walk in at the counter. Service was great with quick explanations on what they’re known for for, what they recommend, etc. Food was brought out quickly and was amazing. The depth of flavour, the flakiness of the channa, the balance of sweet and sour in the laksa… would come back again!

I first came here in 2023 with a friend and had such a great time that I knew I had to come back on my next trip to London. This restaurant is unreal, the food, the cocktails, the atmosphere & service is all so good. I loved it so much on this last recent trip I came back two nights in a row because I wanted to try other things on the menu. My favorite cocktail is the prince cocktail (probably the best cocktail i’ve had) and the roti is the softest i’ve ever had too. Can’t wait to come back again.

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!

It's a lovely restaurant with a buzzing atmosphere and great food. I'd recommend the chicken and lamb curries, the dosa and the lollipop chicken. Also the gulab jamun dessert was fantastic. The restaurant has a fascinating open kitchen. We had a table by the window to the kitchen so we had a great view of what was going on. I will definitely come back here.
