In fact, I am much obliged to Patrick R. , who has written the first Yelp review about the Indian Ocean and who - with his wonderfully enticing writing - had made me want to come check out this place asap. And finally, last night I managed to come here with a bunch of friends to put his whooping recommendation to the test: yes, yes, and yes! It is as good as he says! These are the dishes that I would heartily recommend you to try: the chicken dish with dried apricots and cashew nuts; the above-mentioned hard-boiled egg coated in minced lamb; as well as a very simple, but well-spiced dal side dish (the slight hint of cinnamon went very well with the autumny weather). I am so glad I found this place, as I no longer have to venture all the way to Whitechapel's Tayyabs for a really good Indian meal!!!

The Indian Ocean stands out as diamond in the rough that is Holloway Road. Now the following…read morestatement may spark some controversy, but there is a contingent of us that believe this to be the best Indian in London. That's right, you can forget Brick Lane, and head straight to The Ocean. Situated in between Camden Road and Parkhurst Road, it's pleasant exterior columns give it a bit of class juxtaposed against its surroundings. The atmosphere inside is pleasant, and refined, and the staff are always at hand with a smile. They've recently remodelled, which you will notice from the clean and simple interior decoration. They have a full bar, and serve favourite beers like Cobra and King Fisher. Personally I'd go for a mango lassi, which doesn't have any alcohol, but is so good you'll hardly miss it. Now for the food, which is spectacular. All the sauces are made from scratch by the resident chef. (He's actually taken a friend back into the kitchen and showed him the ins and outs of his cooking, and with great pride the fact that all his sauces are made on location.) Whatever you fancy, it is going to be good. My favourite is the Murgi Tika Masala, but I've tried a host of different things, and have never been had a bad experience. Not sure what to order? Ask the staff, as they can steer you in the right direction. Whatever you chose to get, I'm sure it will be good. After the meal is over you may be lucky enough to be greeted by the chef, who prides himself on checking on his guests. As they are all his recipes, this is certainly a treat. After a few visits you may even begin to feel like a regular, as they are quick to recognize return customers. All in all, you can't go wrong at the Indian Ocean.

A Night to Forget at Princess of India - Disrespect, Neglect & Disgrace:…read more I have dined at many restaurants, but never have I experienced such blatant disregard as I did at Princess of India in Morden, London. If this is how they treat their guests, I can only hope the real princesses of India showed more grace than the so-called hospitality here. The restaurant had only three groups - a party of eight, two friends at another table, and us. And yet, despite the light crowd, we were treated as if we were invisible. No welcome, no warmth, no service. The waiter passed by us repeatedly, without so much as a glance, while tending to the other tables. Was it exhaustion? Indifference? Or something far uglier--blatant discrimination? The middle-aged, fair-skinned manager (who looked more suited for the gym than the hospitality industry) barely acknowledged our presence. He never visited our table, never asked if we needed anything, and at the end he did but when we left, he didn't even muster a simple 'thank you' or 'goodnight'--basic courtesies in any decent restaurant. To make matters worse, tables were left unclean, staff were more interested in wiping glasses and bowls and disappearing into the kitchen than actually tending to guests. It made me wonder: if they can treat us this way, what would they do to the citizens of this country? Look, I understand hospitality is demanding. Long hours, constant service--but this was just a buffet. All they had to do was clear plates and check in on customers, yet even that seemed too much to ask. Respect should be given to all, regardless of nationality or race. What we experienced was beyond disappointing--it was insulting. This was, without a doubt, the worst night we've had at a restaurant, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you value basic human decency, avoid this place. Location: 10-11 Morden Ct, London Rd, Morden, SM4 5HJ

I love this place! This is how Anglocised Indian food should be. This place does takeaways, has a…read moremenu, but it is the buffet which is King. £5.99 is all it costs to get unlimited access to 16 dishes of great quality. They do change from night to night, but you can count on Legs of chicken tikka, onion bhajjis, Saag aloo, Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala (it is sooo sweet and yummy), two or three other meat and prawn curries, plain rice, biryani, bombay potato and chopped salad. They do desserts, but you wont have any room left. You are asked by Taz the owner and his team if you want poppadoms when you arrive, these are great if your waiting for friends to join, but these are not inclusive of the buffet fee. The drinks are good here too with Carlsberg at below £2 per pint and Cobra on Draught. Only 2 minutes from Morden station, this place has been a word of mouth fav, book in advance on weekends, or give me a call. I would be happy to eat here any night of the week!

I've walked by this restaurant a few times and didn't really have much of a draw so walked right by. My Malaysian friend pointed out that she really likes this chain veggie restaurant and its located all over the world. I went for lunch and it wasn't too busy during the week. I liked that there was automatically a jug of water at the table. There's so much to chose from and I was particularly interested in the chinese fusion stuff. Paneer fried rice! What to get... I look around and looks like the dosa is the popular thing on the menu. I haven't had a proper dosa in years. I've had the ones you get at street fairs and they always seem to disappoint. There are so many to chose from but I went with the masala dosa. It comes out pretty quickly and it's really as good as it gets. It's so good and shockingly cheap. It was only £3.25! I do want to come back and try some of the other dishes.

Everything was cooked to absolute perfection with impeccable flavor. The restaurant was very clean and tidy; I love to see that during COVID. If you're looking for a filling breakfast or a place with a massively diverse menu that can satisfy a multitude of dietary interests and allergies I couldn't recommend this place more. They also have a student discount, so don't forget to ask about that before you pay!!

While visiting the UK, I had one wish: to consume as much Indian food as possible. I may have been careless in my wishing, because it's literally all I ate the whole week I was there. Most of it blends together in my mind, but Caraway absolutely stands out. The full bar was definitely a plus. I had a drink called the "Woo Woo" which was very tasty, and how could you not order a drink with a name like that? ALL of the food was fantastic. Some standouts were the dal, and this yummy sweet and sour paneer appetizer that almost made me weep with joy. I would probably go back to Ilford just to eat at Caraway. Yum yum!
