We had tikka masala and garlic naan and onion bhagi. The tikka was horrible. It seriously tasted like Campbell's soup with 7 small pieces of chicken in it. Completely tasteless. Zero spice, not heat, spice. Do they not know what Indian spices are? The naan was dry and tasteless, and we had garlic naan. Zero garlic flavour at all. The onion bhajee dish was also tasteless and greazy. If I wasn't so upset at having to eat such horrible food I would be laughing at the fact they had a sign saying the chef had received some top award! Please stay away in fact leave this area as fast as you can and go eat some other cuisine in London. I have a feeling they are all terrible and no one knows what Indian food is who are rating these places...

Today I had some collab dish called a "dirty burger" that didn't look at all like a burger (actually more like a taco when you folded it up) but my god it was a knock out. Rush over and try this thing. I'm uploading a picture of it and some butter chicken to help persuade you. If you've heard London does great Indian food you're probably going to hear people rave about Dishoom. Forget that noise and head straight here. No line, great service, chill vibes and 200% better taste.

Don't let the chophouse fool you--this is not a traditional steakhouse. The music was not classic…read moresteakhouse and a little loud--was rock 80s and early 90s. The crooning gave me a headache. The lighting was not subdued steakhouse but good enough to see. Chairs and tables not steakhouse , no cloth linen tablecloth and more standard pub like chairs and tables. Service was dutiful and I would have given it a very good if the waiter bothered to come by and check on us after one of his colleagues (not him) dropped off the food. The onion rings were quite good and were not made with bread crumbs but--I think chick pea flour or some other flour. They were fried perfectly, stacked nicely and seasoned with various Indian herbs. Say 3 stars. The cauliflower croquettes were out of this world--you really should get them. They has numerous notes of flavor including coconut and the inside was mushy goodness. Couldn't taste the cauliflower much but whatever the mushiness was--it was great. The tandoori chicken was also very good--the flavor was muted and the exterior a little crisp (in a good way) but the chicken itself was moist and flavorful. If they had a 4 minus I'd give it that and I'd order it next time. The lamb chops had a ton of flavor and an overabundance of garnish while they were cooked just right. They said they were crispy but--although they LOOKED crispy they were not. Since I was hoping for some real crispiness it was a miss. That is, notwithstanding the flavor and cooking bullseye. All in all--don't think of this as an American style steakhouse...t'is not. Think of it as a fancy Indian restaurant with great food (4/5) an almost admirable setting (3/5) and nearly acceptable service, setting, etc (2/5).

There seemed to be regulars dining in and really enjoying the food which seemed like a positive. I wasn't feeling very adventurous so ordered the chef specialty dish of butter chicken with saffron pulao rice and garlic naan. The rice and garlic naan were separate. The chicken is cooked in the tandoor and you can really taste the smokeyness it adds to it. I enjoyed the dish very much, although it was a bit sweeter than what I'm used to. The garlic naan was delicious! Also a pleasant surprise was what I believe to be a large puffed rice cracker/cake and mint parsley chutney that was added in complimentary! Would recommend stopping in.

So we did some research. Somewhere along the line we found Meraz written up as one of the 12 best Indian restaurants in England. Okay, so we trek over to the East End (pretty wild neighborhood that we enjoyed) for dinner at Meraz. My husband was disappointed not to find a particular dish on the menu, but the waiter didn't hesitate to offer to have the kitchen whip it up special for him. My husband also went a little wild ordering all sorts of appetizers and side dishes. Now I don't like to deal in hyperbole. A five star rating should be sufficient praise. But I'm going to go overboard just this once: BEST INDIAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN IN A RESTAURANT. EVER. I've eaten in Indian restaurants at home in Chicago, in L.A., New York, St.Louis, Atlanta, San Francisco, etc., etc. etc. Many have been good, but none approached this. We ate every scrap of all the food we ordered, and only because we had a tight timeline and a busy itinerary for our brief visit to London did we not go back for at least a second meal.

I am an event…read moreorganizer and have set up many of these meals; Nitesh was an expert at making the experience seamless for us, and was the only restaurant manager who has asked me for a Zoom call ahead of time so we could walk through expectations, the timing of the night, and I could get a virtual walk through of the space. They were extremely considerate of our group's many dietary restrictions. And they have a very easy online booking system for group meals, where a large group dinner menu is selected by default but you can easily replace individual dishes. Not only was the preparation great, the execution was excellent. The whole evening was seamless and I felt like Nitesh or the other staff member were constantly just a wave away. The food was all excellent, and it dinner was served buffet style (while appetizers were served at the table, per our plan), clearly marked for dietary restrictions. We had a semi private space, meaning 90% private, with a TV screen and microphones for a fun presentation we did for our group. Cost came out to about £67 per person total, very reasonable. They had some nice cocktails I tried! Tropical Hurricane (£15.95) - 3.5 stars Mango Chili Caipiroska (£16.95) - 4 stars This was our menu, sadly I dont' remember individual dishes as the night was a blur, except the Baigan Bhurta!
