Patri Northfields

Very recently, my partner and I have had the pleasure of visiting Patri at Northfields and the experience has been amazing and worthwhile with such a lovely and friendly staff who took the time to explain the concept behind their authentic thali dishes. Needless to say that each and every item in our non-veg thali option took us for a wild ride down our memory lane with such an authentic Indian dining experience. The thali menu offered good sized portions of pot curries (mutton and chicken options are both equally good in terms of the tenderness and the right amount of cooking) balanced with the right spiciness to give you the kick you need. A special shout out to the owner of this restaurant who took their precious time to explain us the story behind their Patri dishes which made the experience all the more interesting and exciting and tempted us to try the Boyfriend chaat which deserves another separate review. 👌✌️

This restaurant is overrated in my opinion. The only thing that I found worth getting was the Railway Grill as it was good for the price. The drinks were all good, but the food such as the Teen Thali was not worth £15 as it was completely basic. Our server didn't have the best knowledge about their own dishes. It was a bit dull with only music in the background. In our railway mixed grill, our chicken was a tad undercooked and pink and the panneer a bit hard for my liking, I have eaten better Indian food before!

The vibes are lovely and the excitement to try the Grand thali was a lot. We visited Patri just for the Grand Thali ( mixed) on my Husband's birthday. The Thali was a lot for two adults and two kids ( 10 & 13). We end up packing it up a lot. The taste of the food was okay. We had better in less expensive places with good quantities of actual food in it. The dishes had more curries in them than the main ingredient. Like the brinjal (eggplant) dish has less brinjal and more curry if that makes sense. So overall the hype is just the presentation of 30 dishes in a huge Thali. We were greeted by a lovely hostess named Honey. She explained to us about all the dishes on arrival and helped with drinks. She was very polite and helpful. We might try something else next time if we visit.
