Not a total surprise as I suspect most of its custom is at night for dinner. The service, as it should be I guess when we're the only diners, was efficient and friendly without being intrusive. For food we decided to go with the chef recommendation of the chilli paneer (marinated cottage cheese chunks in a sweet chilli sauce with some onions, red and green peppers) as a starter and three curries: lamb korma, butter chicken and gosht chicken for our mains. All were excellent and tasty. Very high quality food we thought. Portion-wise the starter was a very generous size. The curries were a little less generous and were served in quite small, though deep bowls. Having said that each curry came with a number of good-sized chunks of meat. Along with our naan and shared rice dish we were suitably stuffed at the end of our meal. Price-wise the food is quite over-priced for Indian food but with the 40% discount from toptable on food offers reasonable value for money. If you want to have some excellent Indian food don't overlook Green Chilli in Hammersmith - it may surprise you.

There is an engaging array of starters all very carefull prepared.The deep fried mushrooms with the stuffing of fruit jam are delectable,followed by the seekh kebabs patties wth a subtle blend of seasonings and spices accompanied by a duxelle of eggs. Charcoal cooked chicken on the bone is delicous served with a thick clingy tomato sauce,mopped up with some pilau rice and naan bread. Drinks and a well sourced wine list makes the whole experience complete.

The only let down is the decor which is pretty tacky and run of the mill plain boring. I ordered the chicken tikka 4.50, followed by a vegetable biryani 6.55.

Admittedly me and the missus have a slightly softer spot for it as its sister restaurant in Ealing was one of our first dates many moons ago. And me and my mate Stu would often bang down the door there at 2am with them only too happy (yeah right) to knock us something up. So, fond memories of what I would describe as a typically good local curry house. We wandered into the Hammersmith branch for old time's sake the other day. We noticed it had been spruced up somewhat. The furnishings are comfier and a little smarter. And they've added 'haute cuisine' to their name which frankly is a bit of a worry. What could also set the alarm bells ringing are the two luminous orange signs in the window declaring their sunday buffet. It gives the place a slightly NCP feel which I'm guessing they don't really want. Other than that, happy to report, the welcome is just as friendly, the menu as reassuring and the Cobra as cool. Sure, they've added a bit of panache. I ordered a green tandoori chicken sizzling thing which was slightly different from the normal tandoori offering. In fact it didn't quite work for me. A little dry ad the coriander marinade giving it a slightly odd look, but tasty enough. Prawn puri was delicately spiced and generous and the puri bit was lovely and puffed. Our other main I must confess we can't remember how they described it. But it was a generous portion of chicken breast meet and a very good creamy sauce which we mopped up with excellent naan, puffy and slightly burnished, just as it should be. All in all a great example of a good old local curry house in an area full of hot competition. It continues to thrive for those who like the friendly service, the familiar menu and the comfy surroundings. And the After Eights with the bill.

The fella and I decided to try Spice of Night since we liked the idea of walking to dinner and wanted to find a new place in our 'hood. Right off the bat, the service leaves A LOT to be desired. Okay, they were busy (Saturday night and all), but with five waitstaff in a small room, that shouldn't be an excuse. We asked for water three times before we received any, and at the end of the meal, asked for the bill four times. The food took absolutely ages. Okay, now that's out of the way, the redemption. Our meals were delicious. Slow service aside, they've got magicians in their kitchen and I don't even want to know the secret. I'm a chicken tandoori kind of girl myself, and it was awesome, served on a sizzling hot plate. The five-bowl tray of chutneys and spices stayed on the table and were used throughout our meal (not just for our quickly gobbled poppadoms early on). House white was decent as well. If the gentlemen working at Spice of Night weren't so friendly, there would be at least one star deducted from this review. Their food certainly brings up their reputation for me.

Now, I have passed by Anarkali many times and have found it quite unappealing. We have tried every restaurant next to it...except this one. So I checked photos of the interiors and only once we were satisfied that we could brave it, did we reserve a table for dinner. First impression...pleasant ambiance. Felt doubly pleasant as the exterior gives a more claustrophobic vibe. (they must change the logo!) The service experience was mixed. One gentleman was over friendly, the other was over grumpy. And I don't know if this is a rule they all follow, but they say a lllooooot of 'Thank You'. I know there's nothing wrong with it..but imagine when you are in the middle of a conversation and a staff member picks up a glass from your table..says thank you, brings your next drink...says thank you, brings you plates...says thank you, brings your food...says thank you. They said Thank You at least 50 times in those 2-2.5 hours. A tad bit annoying. They also lurk around your table a lot...I almost felt spied on. I had the butter Chicken Tikka for starters, Chicken Saag and Pilau Rice for mains. The husband had lamb chops and Lamb Gosht. I have eaten a lot of bad Indian in London...this comes in the bottom pile of the bad. The pilau rice was the only saving grace. I should have drawn my conclusion and not ordered anything else. But noooo...I had to fall for the ploy, "Our kulfi is the best. Your must try it." It's one of the more bland, icy, non-creamy kulfis. Such a shame. For drinks...my vodka came with a non-fizzy coke and I had to get it changed. Won't be visiting this restaurant again. They seem to have many regulars...which is disturbing as the food isn't good at all. I would give this a 2...the extra 0.5 is for - decent ambiance, good papad, chutneys and pilau, and a toilet that's on the same floor!
