I loved the lentils with the nan! The sauces they gave were very lovely paired with everything. Service: Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable with the menu. We told her it is our first time and she broke down the menu items for us! Very sweet of her to do so. Overall: I would recommend this place to other people and possibly come back in the future when I revisit London! Food was pretty high quality and so were the people working there. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious too!

I even took home the spices and chai as merchandise so I can try and recreate this at home with their cookbook. I love it so much!

One dark evening, I returned home from work to find a shiny red takeaway leaflet on my doormat…read more This is not an uncommon occurrance - if I dare to go on holiday for a week, the front hallway is usually knee-deep in such things. However, this one, for whatever reason, caught my eye. Maybe I just felt like a curry. In fact, I clearly felt like a curry because I rang up to ask if they could deliver me one. The person on the other end of the phone was really polite and helpful, and the food arrived within 30 minutes, piping hot and extremely tasty. The dishes are all distinct in character (not the lumps of chicken in miscellaneous sludge that thankfully ever more rarely is passed off for curry) and you can taste the different spice mixes and ingredients clearly They threw in some free poppadoms, and some little cones of fruit jelly for afters. :) I have subsequently used them 3 times, and each time they've been brilliant. They also got a good writeup in the local paper by a critic who visited their restaurant. Apparently this has just been refurbished. My only criticism is that the naan bread can sometimes have a few gritty burnt flecks on the underside (the bread is delicious and certainly not inedible but I think they may need to clean/scrape some soot out of their tandoor oven!) If they fix this, they'll certainly get that extra star! Top local indian takeaway. Highly recommended. UPDATE JAN 09 Well, having been thanked on Qype by the owner who had read this review, I have since ordered from Spice Zone again and am delighted to report that the naan bread is now grit-free! The quality of the dishes has continued to be excellent. A restaurant that acts on feedback is a quality outfit in VnF's book, so twinkle twinkle

They have done an impressive job on the remodel updating it with a bright and clean interior tastefully decorated and well equipped. Two large screen TV's play Bollywood music videos and sporting events. When you enter there is a small kebab shop and takeaway, and you enter through the second set of doors to the dining room. The food is amazing! A dazzling array of choices and some special items. We ordered Karahi Fish, Karahi Methi Gosht, Tarka Daal and a whole tandoori chicken. This was more than enough food for four and we were all very happy to try so many tasty items. First the fish was perfectly prepared and delicately spiced. It had a great texture and wasn't "swimming" in sauce. The lamb curry was ordered spicy and the chef actually came to ask us how spicy we actually wanted it, so we explained EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA hot.. he laughed and asked if we were sure and we said we were. He delivered! It was a spicy inferno without being overpowering. The daal was very nice but the highlight was the Tandoori chicken.. it was the most flavorful one we had tried in a long time and came out perfectly moist and juicy and oozing with flavour, and at 7 quid it was quite a deal as well. We also noted on the menu the chefs special.. a WHOLE LEG OF LAMB! We vowed a night of hedonism and drinking accompanied by a lamb feast. We followed through the following week and we were rewarded for our determination with a stunning piece of culinary magic. The leg of lamb was so tender and flavourful that we decided to make it a monthly ritual.. but be forewarned you have to order it 24 hours in advance.. so think ahead! The Lahore Masala House is a welcome addition to the Kentish Town landscape.. they have great lunch deals and they also stay up late for those leaving the locals or the Forum.

This restaurant menu is different than other. Those words hardly see on the menu. We ordered a selection of curry with chicken, lamb and vegetables. It all taste good. Lamb chop is perfectly done. Total bills is rather cheap. Atmosphere is quiet..as we are the only table in the restaurant on Monday night. It is ashamed that the business are not busy.

INSIDE Spacious, clean, and plenty of seating both upstairs and down. MENU For larger parties, they recommend their prefix menu which includes a various sampling of lots of delicious items. FOOD 10/10 I haven't eaten Indian food much, but was thoroughly impressed. From my mango lassi which was perfectly sweetened and tart to buttered buns, fried okra, black Dahl, garlic naan, and lamb skewers, everything was delicious. I esp loved the lamb skewers! We ordered a side of garlic naan with cheese which is basically a quesadilla and it was super cheesy and delicious as well. OVERALL Would def recommend Dishoom when visiting London. It'll definitely be a hit in your books!

The food was exceptional -- aroma, flavors, spice levels, portions; everything was perfect. While visiting London, a local friend invited me to Dishoom, knowing how much I love Indian cuisine. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 5PM, and the place was already packed. They don't take reservations for dinner unless you're a large group, but trust me, the wait is worth it. They have a fantastic bar where you can grab drinks while you wait for a table (they give you buzzers). I tried the Negroni and another tequila-based cocktail (sadly I can't remember the name), and both were phenomenal. Shared plates are definitely the way to go at Dishoom. We ordered the gunpowder potatoes (incredible), an appetizer with potatoes and pineapple (not my favorite; the pineapple threw me off), monkfish curry (amazing), and chicken curry. It was a lot of food for just two of us, but I couldn't stop eating. I seriously wanted to bottle up that sauce! The service was surprisingly impeccable, especially considering how busy they were. We ended up spending about £110 for an incredible dinner, and we nearly couldn't finish everything. Lastly, the ambiance! Inspired by Iranian cafes in India, the atmosphere at Dishoom is eclectic. I loved the dim lighting, unique decor, and the lively pace of the restaurant. Just go!

They went really fast! The curries (aloo and bhindi) were wonderful complements to the meal. The Naan and garlic rice, often just fillers, were delicious in their own right.
