Taste of Lewisham serves some of the spiciest food I have ever eaten in my life. They won't ask you…read morehow you like your food - this is something you have to bring up, so if you can't take spicy food, then be warned! I've been here three times, and each time, I've ended up sniffling and very quiet throughout! As far as I can tell, the food here is authentic. Prior to joining this restaurant, the cook spent a number of years honing his craft in Singapore which has a sizable South Indian population. Service is generally friendly, though perhaps a tad disorganised. For instance, our starter of paneer 65 arrived after all of our mains, but this is usually down to the popularity of the restaurant. While we were the only customers in the restaurant on the door, it turned out that they had 150 takeaway orders to deal with, and were two men down. The prices are amazingly cheap. I'm really used to central London prices, and it's always a joy to spend much less than I would where I live, and still have more than enough food to bring home for another meal. Dishes I'd recommend include paneer 65 (or chicken 65 if you want some meat), deep-fried sprats, chicken paratha and tomato uttapham.

It's snowing...in March, ruddy March!…read more I have a cold...bluergh There is no way I'm leaving the flat this weekend so Tiffin Tin to the rescue. I'd always passed this rather classy looking takeaway on the way to work and old memories of having actual lunchtime 'tiffin tins' on childhood visits to india made me need to try this place. No complaints there, the food itself was excellent, The king prawn pathia had a really well spiced non creamy sauce with great prawns and the sekuwa murgh kebab was a tasty chicken tandoori. The paloong side just added was a great side but the sqid kalipare (calamares) was a little soggy though that may be due to the long trek of finding our flat (the flat is a little too secluded for its own good) The only other complaint was that the food took a bit of time and the I thought the yoghurt sauce was quite sweet. The portions were big but not huge as others have described with a £25 spend (one main and 3 sides/starters) filing two of us perfectly. So just like the tiffin boxes of my childhood the Tiffin Tin of Tuffnell Park will continue to feed me.

We dined here on our last day in London, we realized we hadn't tried Indian food in our entire…read moretrip, so we thought of ending our trip with some nice South Indian (Kerala) food. To begin with the place is at a very convenient location, close to the bus stop which makes it easy for out of towners. The place was neat and had a decent ambiance. Tables were placed closed to each other, however that seems to be the case in most restaurants in London. Menu had a good variety of south Indian and Kerala dishes, I would recommend trying the appam if you have never had them before. We had the appam with fish curry and also the fish biryani. We ended with tea and I was hoping for some Indian chai but was a little disappointed that it was regular english tea. Staff was very friendly and nice, food is served pretty quick. Come here if you are craving for some authentic Kerala food, you won't be disappointed.

The devotees go there for a reason. The food is great to eat and it's super value too. Several Thai curries will be on offer such as: - Red curry (chicken) - Green curry (veg) - Musaman curry (chicken) - Penang curry (beef) They also serve crispy bonus options such as fried wontons and spring rolls. The line moves quite slowly as the two owners are super diligent and carefully serve up your choice of curry and rice so be patient, it's worth it. Go for a combo of two like I did (slightly sweet and mild Musaman with good amounts of tender chicken plus fiery veg green with beancurd and mixed veggies). So I am a big fan given the great food and value at around £4.

The negative star and possibly more would be for the shitty young waitress we had Saturday that mostly scowled the entire time we were there that served us and others. Yet another one of her colleagues, an Eastern European girl, was very sweet. I got the plain dosas with chutneys and an idli order with chutneys and sambathar. My husband got the chicken kothu. The portions are pretty good for the cheap prices and we left feeling full. Also glad water is provided at the table. But that waitress my god. I would avoid returning just for her unpleasantness.

When I walked into this corner restaurant at 930pm a a Friday we were the only ones inside, and so a tad trepidatious. However there was nothing to worry about at all. Service was attentive and helpful, and every dish came out looking and tasting delicious. The tandoori prawns arrived at the table sizzling over a bed of perfectly cooked green peppers and onions. They went really fast! The curries (aloo and bhindi) were wonderful complements to the meal. The Naan and garlic rice, often just fillers, were delicious in their own right. I very much recommend Memsaab for your Indian night out!

While cheap at about 6 pounds, the 10 dishes in the buffet are not going to wow you, and are not expected to, I suppose. In fact, the food in the buffet line-up can even be a bit bland. The main menu isn't too expensive either, and you can probably get a pretty comprehensive meal at about 12 pounds per person. Service is limited to the one or two people in the place, but is okay.
