The India Gate is my pick from the Indian restaurants in Hackney. Although I usually get take away…read morebecause it is so close to my house, I have dined here a couple of times. What I really like about it is the fact that it isn't just taken from the display and thrown into a box. Although it takes a few more minutes, it is nice that they prepare it to order in the kitchen. The dining in experience only has one flaw as far as I'm concerned, its seriously heavy lighting. The excessive brightness really detracts from the ambience. My favourite dish is the lamb dalfrazi, closely followed by the lamb korma. I find it a little expensive though as two take away curries and one portion of rice comes to around 12 pounds.

Mains were fine; my chicken sag would have delighted Popeye, comprising about five bags of spinach. The lamb dish was tender if a little less spicy than expected. Would I go out of my way to visit The India Gate? No. Still, if you're in the area it's a perfectly decent offering. And with a 241 deal on Taste Card, it's great value.

It seemed like a good option because it had good reviews, and I wanted to try some Himalayan/Nepalese. I wasn't too hungry, so I just went with the house special momos (Nepalese minced lamb dumpling wrapped in dough served with tomato chutney). They look similar to Chinese soup dumplings, but taste very different. The momos are dry, so you definitely need the sauce they serve it with. The filling also has a bit of a curry kick to it. I think I'd prefer the soup dumpling. I also shared some of the garlic naan, which I really enjoyed. Wouldn't mind trying some more Himalayan/Nepalese food!

What an amazing place! We had a huuge and delicious dinner on a Saturday evening. Despite that on…read moreyelp this resaurant is described as not accepting reservations, I decided to call and had no problem booking a table. The restaurant is very cosy with about 10 tables and was half full but I saw many people who came and ordered take away at the bar. The staff were very polite and attentive but not pushy and gave us all the time we needed to choose. We had the veggie momo (amazing slightly spicy dumplings) and some plain and spicy papadums, the latter came with tasty chutneys. My boyfriend got the chicken korma and I ordered prawn masala - both delicious with creamy sauces. We also ordered the staffed paratha and basmati fried rice as sides which we ate with whatever was left from the chutneys. All that was digested with some white house wine (me) and a Cobra. Dinner was great and we were not interrupted by waiters clearing plates, they gave us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves. We left full (to the brim) with warmess in our stomachs (from the spices) and in our hearts (from the great time we had). I would definitely be coming back and reccommending this place!

We started with the Momos and fried courgette (as well as a healthy portion of crackers - always goes down well). The momos were great, but could've been a bit more filled out (or maybe I was just greedy for more). We decided to share our mains - my big shout out goes to Dhahi Bhanda - an aubergine side dish that was just beautiful. My opinion is always swayed by the prawns used in restaurants, and they were big and juicy in the prawn asworya. The Shangri La chicken that is cooked in a clay oven was tender and was delicately spiced. Overall, an awesome mix of flavours from Nepal that is not as pungent as Indian food, but definitely more flavoursome than their Chinese neighbours.

Keenly priced and the only downside was an obnoxious table over the other side of the room, one member of which I'm convinced mooned my companion & I whilst outside for a cigarette, who took delight in winding up the waiter at the end of their visit. Unfortunately they probably have to put up with that all too often.

Been coming to this Yak & Yeti for a few years now and the service and food has always been to a…read morehigh standard. This time was a Monday evening and it was surprisingly busy. The staff are all friendly and make an effort to be polite and informative about the food. The food is not just Indian but also Nepalese so you do not have to just have the usual curry. They have offering from a clay oven also if you would rather have something not to saucey, as in the traditional tikka masalas (which they do have on offer). It location is just the wrong side of the Crystal Palace triangle but it has been there for many years now so this has not affected it to badly. It is a nice restaurant as you can always have a conversation and actually hear the other person without shouting which I always find useful. If you want to line your stomach before hitting the bars in the Crystal Palace triangle you could do a lot worse than here. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are of a good size so you should not leave there hungry. As like most restaurants of this type puddings are not their strong point but the starters and main meals make up for this in my opinion. All in all a good restaurant which I will continue to use.

Thank goodness - Yak and Yeti has finally restored my faith in there being a half decent indian/nepalese restaurant anywhere near the Palace. We popped in on Monday early evening and were the only ones in. The service was slow and clumsy - at one point we asked the reccomendation from the waiter of which to have and if the Goan Curry was any good. The waiter scrunched up his nose and pointed to a completeley different meal and said that was better, the Goan Curry is not soo good. - You have to laugh. Despite there not being the best service in the world, the food was great. Sometimes, you can order three different things off the menu, and they all sort of taste the same, but not here. We ended up ordering the Goan Curry (plenty of fish, but a little too anaseed for my taste- not unplesant) Sagg Allo (creamy spinach and well seasoned) and a veggie curry. The veggies were not overcooked and each sauce was lovely. Especially lovely onion bajis and nann. Not oliy and sloppy but crisp and full of flavour. They even threw in a few poppadoms while we were musing over the menu (you would be surprised how many places now charge for poppadoms - it's so frustrating). Fingers crossed the take-away is as good as the sit down otherwise *shakes fists*. Yak & Yeti also seems to be sponsering local events such as the Crystal Palace Film Festival - which is also good to know it's committed to the community.

Everest cooks delicious, fresh Nepalese and Indian food at reasonable prices (free local delivery…read morefor take aways over £15). It's hard to find really good Indian and Nepalese food, even in London. So many places seem to rely on buckets of sauce labelled 'red', 'green', and 'yellow' and substitute chillis for flavour. The dishes at Everest taste completely home-cooked. The spinach is bright and fresh, the aubergine melting, the lamb tender and the spice combinations scrumptious. Main courses £8 (lamb, chicken, veggie) -£12 (seafood) and side dishes (almost as large as the main dishes) £3 - £4. To get this quality in another cuisine (French, Italian, etc) you would have to pay twice as much. The lamb with mint and the aubergine bhaji are particularly deserving of attention.

A few years ago, a friend stayed with us and we took him here. He lived in India for a bit and not pleased with the items on the menu, asked for an off menu dish -- butter chicken. The waiter said they could definitely make it as it is what they normally make for the staff after hours. This opened our world to the loveliness of butter chicken, which is now my favourite dish at Khans. The choices are plentiful and all of it is very good. The service is very good and they are quite attentive. I am even tempted to give an extra star simply because when service a pint of beer to myself and brother-in-law, the waiter got mine safely in my hands and spilled the BIL pint all down his back.

Well this was an experience I can tell you! A friend of ours…read moresuggested Jaflong for a gathering as it was one of his regular curry places. It's a little out the way for us in Dulwich but I'm so glad we made the effort. 11 of us descended on Jaflong last night and we couldn't have been happier. The staff were incredibly friendly. After we were seated the offered us poppadoms with all the trimmings; I particularly liked the spicy line pickle which even the Auntie-in-law who "really likes spicy food" (ha!) thought was too hot. We had starters, of course. I had the Prawn Puree which is a personal favourite. It was a little doughy but the flavour was great. The wife had onion bharjis which she said were dry but would've been great if she'd liked any of the sauces available (she's a bit of a selective eater). Around the table various other starters were tried and no complaints were heard. By the time my main arrived I discovered that I may have overindulgence on the poppadoms and starters. The main I had was something I'd never seen before. It was called Pudina Gosht and it was amazing. Minted lamb cooked with honey, lemon and spices. It was a dark minty green and smelled fantastically fresh. As I was a bit full I just used my keema naan to mop up some sauce and took the rest home so I can relive it for lunch today. Others around the table tried the mixed grill which came to the table sizzling, chicken madras, chicken korai, saag bharji, various rices and breads. Everyone was really happy with. When the bill came I was shocked. £180 for 11 people!! I was expecting it to be well over £200. We'll definitely be going back to Jaflong again. It may not be soon but the wait will definitely be worth it. If you can get to Dulwich, go to Jaflong and indulge in some spectacular Indo-Bangladeshi cuisine.
