This was the first Indian restaurant I tried in London and it did not disappoint! I've been told…read morethat the Indian food in London is super authentic, and while I've never been to India myself, I can totally believe that the Indian food here is very authentic. We did family style, so everyone ordered a dish and we just grabbed a bit of everyone's food. We got biryani, butter chicken, korma, and everything was great. My one advice would be to get the basket of flavored naan. They have a selection of Naan breads and they were all delicious. Service is a bit slow, but they also have a lot of customers.

Don't know exactly what it's called but we started with the chip like crackers to dunk into the 4 sauces that was already in front of us. Each sauce was unique and had a different flavor profile so I never got bored of eating the same thing. We also each got naan which I highly recommend the chilli cheese naan! We also shared the karahi paneer which was cheese mixed in a curry with a ton of spices and paneer shahi korma which was a tomato based curry. Each one was super flavorful and delicious! While it was vegetarian, we were more than full with the carbs of the naan. I highly recommend this place. One of the best Indian places I've been to!

It's called Punjabi Grill and the minute you walk in it looks like a kebab shop as does the menu. Curry, Pizza and Burgers in the same shop. I usually stay miles away from places like this but in this instance I thought I would give it a go. And am I glad I did. I ordered a Palak Paneer, Sheek Kebab and two Tandoori Rotis and the total bill including a bottle of water was £6.20....wow :-)) The food arrived hot, Rotis were freshly made and they also gave me a side salad with mint yogurt to go with the meal. The palak paneer was divine and took me back to my days travelling India and eating at roadside eateries called Dhabas. The Sheek kebab was also tasty albeit a bit dry. All in all a fabulous meal and the place was full of Indian and Pakistanis and like me they were enjoying themselves immensely. One guy at another table was tapping his lamb shank bone to get every bit of marrow and sauce out of it. Another guy licked clean his Biryani and another the same with his pizza. All I can assume is that the other dishes were as equally good as mine. Definitely coming back here for a cheap feed when in Reading. Don't let the looks or the menu fool you ;-)) This place is not located in the best part of town and it is all about the food and nothing more. Drinks list is minimal water or fizzy drinks. Wish they had Lassi on the menu :-(

The old menu had the 'Oriental thali' if you fancied a blow out and you liked a variety of foods this could not be recommended enough. In the restaurant I struggled to finish the meal, as a take out I always had something left for the next day. My only regret is that local parking is scarce and I now live too far away not to drive. When I lived close this was a regular haunt now it is somewhere for special occassions.

I love going here when I'm craving indian food (they also serve Thai food but it's not as nice and…read moreisn't their specialty). When I do go I prefer sitting in since the atmosphere is nice with the music and the presentation of the food but if you take out as a student you get 15% off. Some of the dishes are served with heating candles underneath so it stays nice and hot throughout your meal. It's a bit unassuming on the outside and usually not very busy but it is 5 star rated and very clean. The dishes are around 8-9 pound for mains. If you go on Tuesday (Curry night) for 9.95 you can get a starter (I love the chicken or lamb) main, vegetable dish and either rice or naan (I believe they make the best naan out of all the indian restaurants I've tried in my area) The garlic naan is so delicious! Sometimes I just get some naan from there on my way home because it's so great. I wish they made them bigger since they're roughly the size of a personal pizza from pizza hut, so it's expensive on its own (about 2 pounds). They do loads of special offers so check out their website for them and some photos of the place. It's really close to the university, only a short walk from the Shinfield Road entrance.

We ordered a selection of starters, mains, rice and naan to share and I enjoyed all of it. The mixed starter was a lovely way to try a few different dishes but not be too full before the main courses. There are no pakoras on the menu which I did find a bit disappointing, but it did make us try something else for a change. We ordered a few different dishes (can't remember them all!) but we definitely had both the Butter Chicken and the Garlic Chicken and a Dahl, all were full of flavour and got demolished! The restaurant was clearly very busy, both with sit in diners and take away orders, yet our order was ready about half an hour after we phoned it through. Would highly recommend giving this place a try.

A lovely place to eat with great food along the Thames…read more There are a lot of places to eat near the Caversham Bridge in Reading, UK on both sides of the river. I decided to try this particular restaurant located on the southeast side of the bridge. If you are driving, you may have to find an alternate place to park since their lot seems a little small. It is a stand-alone building that looks like a converted house. I had noticed it on my walk along the Thames walking path that it is next to. They have seating inside and out. Both offer great views of the Thames across the walking path. The entrance is on the street side, the south side of the building. The inside is very nicely appointed with hardwood-type floors, linen tablecloths, formal chairs, a very pretty ceiling, and large windows looking out on the river. The menu has a wide variety of Indian-style dishes. I tried the Tika Massala, naan, and the pappadom. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food took a little longer than I expected to come out but it was delicious. I would highly recommend this place if you want a beautiful place to take friends to have a great meal in a nice atmosphere. Enjoy!

Just to make it clear: this is not a prestigious restaurant: the table was cleaned after I took a sit, soft drinks were put into storage just around the point I was sitting. Something kept beeping every half a minute or so - low battery fire alarm? The young waitress thought there was no free soft drink with the starter I was ordering while it was clearly mentioned in the menu. Aside the above minor points, the place was busy even on a Wednesday night. I picked traditional Nepalese dishes, bit unusual the wheat / flour mix I added a photo off, sticky texture , mouth-watering lamb curry, spicy sides, and a free mango juice that you have to drink straight from the carton with a straw.
