Am thinking ideally 3.25 or 3.5 stars but not quite a four so giving it three. The service was a better experience in that when I requested some chutneys and salad it wasn't a problem whereas in the Heston Branch it's an issue although they have one very helpful charming member of the team there. The plain parathas were ok though a little unevenly cooked so finished them off under the grill at home, the stuffed aloo (potato) paratha could have done with a bit more filling. The bathura (fried bread) was the best of the breads and the makki ki roti (made with cornflower) the second best though this is more of an acquired taste. Would I visit again, yes I would.

Delhi Wala is an Indian restaurant on the high street of Whitton which caters to vegetarians although everyone is welcome. As I looked through the menu, I couldn't decide on what I wanted to order as they have an endless list of options. Luckily, I was with a friend originally from India and she could guide me! In none technical terms, I had their lentils, cauliflower main, cottage cheese dish and some other sides such as the cheesy garlic naan and some samosas which were all very tasty. I really enjoyed the cottage cheese dish, love it! Unfortunately, I had visited a PanIndian restaurant two weeks before and it really raised the bar for me so I'll give Delhi Wala 4/5 stars. Nevertheless, I would go back as it is close to home, inexpensive and tasty.

Biryani was excellent, the duck xacuti I had unusual but flavoursome, prawns suitably fiery, and the naan most excellent. Washed down with crisp cold indian beer, nothing to complain about here, except they did jam a few too many tables in for my liking, and we could barely move without knocking elbows with someone.

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.

I chose Al-Mirage because the waiter was very friendly and came out to talk to me. Sadly they didn't do a thali.

It's a "traditional" english curry house - all linen table cloths, flock wallpaper, faded pictures, and the feeling that it never has, nor ever will change. I like this aspect of the place - it's a refreshing change from the super-trendy new era Indian restaurants with their obligatory plasma screen, shiny surfaces and fusion cuisine. However, in these establishments, the service is usually impeccably polite and attentive - in this place is was not, and rather veered on disinterested. The food was also a let-down. I had an uninspired and almost bland tikka masala, and my friend an equally boring bhuna. Perhaps, the new-style Indian houses have ruined my taste buds for more traditional UK curry house-fare, or perhaps this one simply doesn't make the cut. Either way, I will always favour others over this one - especially as the prices are unnecessarily high.

As a food critic what really astonished me ( and whet my appetite after taking taste of two signature main dishes named 'Rajeshwari' & 'Lamb Tarkatan') was uncompromising food quality standard retained by this cuisine for decades while consistently meeting the needs of "connoisseurs" of Indian curries. Affluent fine selection of wines available here will definitely make the "gastronomic" dining experience a memorable one for all.

It's all vegetarian here and much of the food is also vegan, with a wide variety of dishes available on the menu and advice and helpful suggestions on hand from the friendly staff. I'm in a masala dosa rut at the moment, I just love the crispy lentil pancake stuffed with spiced potato so much I can't bring myself to move on, though each time I go I'll try to have a different dish on the side. The unpretentious interior appeals to me - I've never enjoyed eating casual meals on a starched white tablecloth surrounded by gilt and goldfish - and it really is the sort of place you can spend a while munching through a few different things, being adventurous and just skipping a meal later to make up for your (relatively healthy) excesses. You won't notice them in the bill at the end though, happily - the most I've ever managed to spend there is around a tenner and that left me full to bursting with leftovers to take home with me.

This place is right outside the station ... so you are spared the walk required in east ham ... and serves decent and very cheap (its difficult to get to over 10 quids a head even after desserts) tamil fare. The mini idlis, sambhar and rasam are nice, the meal thali has a lot of food and is very filling, and the dosas are rather large. Uttapam is one of my favourite dishes ... i have found it made well here on one occasion, and not so well on another. The service is nothing great to speak of. I once got a sealed coke can with a straw :) . They don't believe in writing down your orders. So when a group of 6 orders 15 items, they will forget to bring you some, and you will need to remind them. On the positive side, if you ask for refills for some items in your thali, they don't object. The desserts, except the gulab-jamuns, were a bit of a let down ... but overall its a pretty nice place to come for cheap grub once in a while.
