Best chicken saag - spicy and delicious! Very large portion as well!
I have already been to their restaurant in 2019 when I came to visit London, I had the opportunity to come to London again to celebrate the New Year, we went to this place immediately after the fireworks, we ate well, the food of excellent quality, the owners and staff were very kind and I was satisfied they treated us like family, unfortunately I didn't have time to stay more than 1 day in London, I returned immediately after the new year to Italy, next time if I have the opportunity to go to London again, I will go again to eat, they are really kind, thank you soo much .
It’s very delicious food I love it ,
Found this gem while in London recently. The food was fresh and delicious . Will be returning . The set up is pretty basic but the food is very very good
After a movie all you need is a good meal and this place ticks the boxes for those coming to BFI to see a movie. Food is great and the only thing that will deter anyone is there is no alcohol served or tolerated which was absolutely fine by me. Loved the Pakistani food, as always they’d never disappoint!
Might look sketchy from the outside, but the inside is cozy and the food (I had the butter chicken and butter naan) is really good. The staff is friendly too.
Went to London for vacation and everyone told me to get some Indian food, it’s the best. In a rainy night I saw this place open a block from our hotel. It was small, very very small, but packed with people. Glad I was patient and waited for a seat. I don’t know what I have been eating all my life in America but it doesn’t even compare to the flavors I had here. Put this on your list of places to eat. Wish I had taken more pictures but we couldn’t wait 2 seconds to dive into our other dishes.
I went for their set (one chicken / lamb dish 1 naan 1 canned drink) and chose bhindi gosht garlic naan. Food was tasty and the staff were friendly too.
