What a great find next to the Heathrow Sheraton. Food was exquisite and plentiful at reasonable prices. Service was warm and friendly. We had papadums that had to be the best pickles and sauces I have had. I took the Bhuna while my wife had a tandoori fish dish and son had a paneer. All were nicely spiced and very tasty. read more

Kaniz Restaurant - Heathrow - Pappadum' and selection of pickles and sauces for 3 people - Indian Near Me - Harmondsworth, XGL

We order the tandoori chicken and mixed appetizer. The chicken was flavorful, but a bit dry maybe because it was the breast. The non-veg sampler was ok...the samosa lacked flavor, but the chicken and prawn were good.The best was the pakora. We also had the paneer tikka masala which was more tomato and less cream, but still was a pleasant tangy flavor. Garlic naan was war and soft too so overall a good experience. Service was excellent and the staff were attentive. read more

Meeln (sp?) was our waiter and did an amazing job making us feel welcome and gave us great advice. Found this place bc it was only .3 miles from our hotel, but knowing now how awesome the food is, we'd have walked miles. Don't quite remember exactly what we ordered, but check out the pics. I like spicy (my wife, notsomuch) so the brought me green chilies on the side. Nice, clean, white tablecloth cozy restaurant. This is my new go to place for any Heathrow stopovers. Amazing service, environment, and FOOD !! read more

4.5 stars rounding up! Kudos being open until 10pm We stayed near the airport so dining options were quite limited-- happy we came across Kaniz haha Extensive menu and interior looks elegant, almost like date-night atmosphere, but we opt for take-out lol Butter Chicken was nice balance of sweet and savory, creamy too and paired well with the basmati rice Tandoor Starter plate (love my options of proteins haha) wishing the Beef was more tender, the Lamb was good but the Chicken is better haha Gotta get the Garlic Naan and Veggie Samosa too Mmmmm yumm read more

I hope this family decides to move to Florida because the food and service were great. We eat early so when we arrived, we were greeted by the owner and his sweet daughter. We were seated, our drink orders taken and some lovely sauces and chutney were served. My husband ordered the chicken tandoori byriani (sp) and I ordered the lamb korma. We also had the potato stuffed payana. I'm killing the spelling on this incredible food! The lamb was mild--even my husband enjoyed it. The service was excellent. We felt very lucky we ate at this restaurant. read more

Kaniz Restaurant - Heathrow - All the delicious things!! - Indian Near Me - Harmondsworth, XGL

The Kaniz Indian restaurant is located close to Heathrow Airport, the hotels and car rental lots. We arrived in London after a "red eye" flight from the States, and checked into the nearby Hyatt Place. We are leaving early the next morning from the car rental lot. Within close walking distance is Kaniz. Walk out of the Hyatt make a right and its a couple blocks down the road. The food here is delicious. They serve fresh and authentic Indian cuisine. There is a lot on the menu to choose from. We started with a selection of chutneys and naan and other breads. For our entry a mushroom dish. Kaniz has a warm and welcoming staff. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. If you are a weary traveler looking for a tasty, friendly and convenient dinner on your jet lagged first night in London, look no further. Recommend. read more

Food options on this side of town near London Heathrow Airport are very limited, however, this place came highly recommended by receptionist at the hotel I was staying in. They open for dinner on Sunday at 5:30pm, and I was there waiting as they opened the doors and welcomed me in. We were the first diners to enter and were told to seat ourselves anywhere we liked. Our server was a "one man show" she juggled incoming diners, to-go orders, delivery drivers, phone calls, as well as taking orders and bringing out our food. Her service was seamless and we really felt well taken care of. She was welcoming, helpful and attentive. Now let's talk food... oh my goodness, the food is absolutely outstanding and definitely cooked to order. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The flavors and spices complemented every single dish. I don't eat meat, so I was very happy to see that they have a nice variety of Vegetarian starters and main dishes to choose from. The Naan Bread comes in several different options which I never experienced at any Indian restaurant back in the U.S. My Naan bread was stuffed with veggies, serrano peppers, and delicious spices. I literally could've eaten it alone as a meal, that's how good it was. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant is very warm and inviting. Although the restaurant is casual, there are chandeliers hanging above the tables, cloth table settings, cloth napkins, carpet, and classic music playing in the background. Definitely giving off upscale vibes. Overall, if you find yourself in the area and want a healthy, delicious, hardy meal that will leave you satisfied. You really need to check this place out. I'm definitely going to come back here to eat again before I leave London. Highly Recommended! read more

Kaniz Restaurant - Heathrow - What the heck is this? Why do you need an artificial neon green sauce for anything! This is served with the onion baji. - Indian Near Me - Harmondsworth, XGL

Although the toilet did not thank me for this food, my stomach sure did. Holy moly the food was so damn good. Came here at like 9:30 PM there were 0 people in the entire restaurant. The food came out in reasonable time, perhaps slightly slow. I'd like to start with the food. The naan was so bussin. I would def recommend getting the garlic naan. I got some lamb dish that was also bussin. The chicken biryani was my favorite- they must put crack in it with how good it is. The food was wonderful. One complaint that I have: the restroom. It was less than clean. There were stains on the toilet and it looked simply unkempt. It just begs the question: why is this restaurant in the most personality-less place in the entire world? read more

Very good food, very friendly, made great recommendations. Very enjoyable dinner for our family of 4! Highly recommend!

I don't like to generalize. As a matter of fact, I HATE to generalize, as generalizations are the most blatant expressions of ignorance. Yet, at the risk of ridicule, I have to generalize about Indian cuisine. Indian cuisine is so good, so good, that it seems as if the gods must have been given the inhabitants of India the key to unlocking all flavors, all possible flavors in cooking, even flavors the world didn't even know existed. That's it, said it. If you disagree, fight it with the Europeans in the Middle Ages who literally dared ventured to the end of the world in search of a route to Indian when blocked over-land by the Ottoman Empire. Their cooking, their flavor and their spices are directly or indirectly, the sole reason America was (quote on quote) "discovered". Which brings me to this particular review and the 5 stars you see above. 5 well deserved star. Well, let's start with the fact that I'm currently on a trip to Belgium with some friends, and I had a couple of hours to kill close to Heathrow Airport. Not just a couple but an entire day and night. It also happens that a couple of months ago I finished a book by one of my favorite authors - Salman Rushdie. A man whose genius I both adore and whom I envy on accounts of his ex-wife. Well, in his most lauded book - the one that shall remained unnamed - you know! The one that cause that fatwa, that eventually kind-of caught up with him, to be placed on his head, well, in that book a big part of the plot takes place inside a London Indian restaurant. And so, the moment London came up in my itinerary there's only one thing I've been craving, and that was Indian food, but not just any Indian food, but London Indian food. This is where Kaniz comes into the picture. When I opened Yelp and saw the first review, it was as if the clouds had opened and answered my prayers. Like the reviewer, a fellow Yelp Elite, mentioned, they don't open until 5:30pm. I waited a bit outside, seated on a bench until they did. And when they opened, I was awkwardly the only person in the restaurant. The first impression you get is that this place is fancy. It's perfectly decorated for a romantic dinner. The service is impeccable and the waiter treated every action, every detail, as if he was the owner of the restaurant himself. I ordered a glass of Cabernet and It wasn't long until I was joined by other patrons, a couple, and then another. By the time they had arrived I had ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala appetizer, and what a revelation it was. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the serving dish and the chicken, and the onions, were still sizzling from the clay oven, and the flavors, oh! The flavors. They were out of this world! Then I asked the server - whose name I failed to remember and should have, what he recommended. I told him I wanted to try something creamy. And he said two words, well a couple more actually - he said: "May I recommend the Orange Chicken, sir!" - you know with that British accent. Like everything Kaniz, it was incredibly. It came with rice and a side of salad. I also ordered naam to go with it- don't judge me. I was famished! - which I used, as you're supposed to, to soak up the cream of the orange chicken. Again, I can't rave enough. The flavors, the combinations, the spices. It's as if the rest of the world is afraid to fully play with spices, and India restaurants all around the world, like Kaniz in London, say hold my drink and then start doing somersaults with them. If you ever find yourself close to Heathrow. Do yourself a favor, make a stop at Kaniz. Ask the server to recommend something based on what you feel like eating, and run with it. You won't regret it. read more

Kaniz Restaurant - Heathrow - Indian Near Me - Harmondsworth, XGL

Great food! Great service! We stopped for dinner before leaving for the states and had a wonderful meal!

Terrific meal, excellent service, within walking distance of the Hyatt and Holiday Inn at Heathrow.

Stopped by for a late dinner while on a very short visit to town. Was surprised by the amazingly friendly service from every person! They made great food (and drink) recommendations and the food was excellent and authentic! Also got to chat with the owners and they were so friendly and engaging. Also overheard other customers having the exact same sentiment. Would absolutely come back again! read more

Great Indian restaurants by Sheraton Heathrow. It's within walking distance and they also deliver food to the hotel. The food was good, but it was a little overlooked. All the curry dishes looked similar to each other, so we couldn't tell the differences at first. read more

Delicious Tarka Dal, Mushroom pilau, Lamb Tikka, Prawn Vindaloo and a great plates of chutneys washed down with some white wine. About $50. A short ride from Sofitel and well worth the trip for us Brits now living in USA and can't get decent Indian food. read more

I would never go back to this place again. The people that work there are really weird. They act very nice but are really just trying to peddle their nasty food. We were bombarded with their cards and menus, like we're supposed to be passing them out? Food: The Tikka Chicken was disgusting. It was overly sweet and had a funky taste. It was like chicken with tablespoons of sugar, in tomato sauce. My husband ordered some sort of mix with different types of grilled meats. His was okay, the tandoori chicken was good. This came with a salad and some sort of yellow yogurt that taste like sugar and lemon with mint (this sounds like it would be good, but they found a way to make it gross). We order take away and our salad came in what looked like cut up grocery bags. If we had ate at the restaurant I would have had them take the food back and gone some place else. This was so disappointing but it was our last night in London and we were looking for a nice dinner. Location: Close to the hotels and the restaurant looks nice. Service: They are fake nice. We ordered over 20 pounds worth of food and they tried to avoid giving us the drink that is supposed to come with our meal. The guy handing us our food tried to make it seem like he was going out of his way to give us cutlery, isn't that supposed to come with the food anyways?? Avoid this place! They couldn't even do their Naan right, it was burned. read more

I was staying at the Sheraton hotel just down the street and wanted to get some food so I walked over here. It's not far but it is pretty deserted at night so it can be a little spooky of a walk. The food was ok. The naan was good. The chicken tikka masala was bad. The balti king prawns was a winner and saved this meal. I was hungry so I ordered both the chicken tikka masala and the balti king prawns. The waiter was nice enough to confirm that I really wanted to order all that food and I confirmed. It's nice and quiet but the food was a bit hit and miss. read more

Service is good. Food is OK. Tandoori mixed grill The chicken is a little bit dry. As I see many unrecognized dish in the menu so we decided to try- I should have stick to the old tradition, like chicken koma. Today food wise I don't seem to have too much luck. read more

Very efficient and friendly staff. Food was fast and delicious. Best choice for food near the airport and best Indian restaurant in London

Appetizers were great, rest of the food was pretty good but not on par with something I would seek out. Convenient for business crowd around the airport. Staff was okay. They rushed us out and cleared the table before we had finished our drinks. I don't know if this may have been becuase the resturaunt was pretty much empty (Staff may have been bored). Kind of on the spendy side. I would not recommend the garlic chicken. Maybe if it was made with thigh instead of dry chicken breast it may have been better. Meat platter was okay. read more

My experience at Kaniz was one I will never forget. Excellent food. Excellent service. One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. The waitstaff treated my party and I with such graciousness. It was as though it was a joy for them to serve us and they took pride in their work! The atmosphere was upscale yet homey. Due to it's location, this restaurant does not get the praise or customers it deserves. If you are staying at the Sheraton for a layover or close to Heathrow, definitely check this restaurant out. read more

Awesome typical Indian food. Having lived in London, this is the great family style Indian food restaurant you find in the surrounding London neighborhoods. This place was recommended by a local man from India who also likes this food. Not super upscale or unique in preparation, but typical and quality and delicious. I will definitely come here again. Ignore Jill B. 's 1 Star review. It is a joke. Look at her useless reviews. Any food that she dislikes she calls 'gross'. She gave her local Texan Indian lunch buffet 5 stars. Need I say more? I find her review grossly inaccurate and unfortunately lowering this good restaurant's overall rating as a result. Businesses get hurt by snap poor reviews by the petty and uninformed. Give it a try. If you know Indian food I think you will like it a lot! I did and so did my family. Realistically this is a 4-4.5 Star place but I'm hoping the 5 stars will offset the aforementioned review and give this place the rating it deserves. read more

London - Nice Indian restaurant I discovered while overnighting in London near Heathrow airport. Has inviting authentic atmosphere, which I enjoyed. Service was average for busy restaurant. Ordered Tikka Karahi, which was good but expected it to be much more flavorful (and spicy). Next time in London I'll try Kaniz again because wondering if I ordered the wrong dish? read more

The food was amazing!!!!! They say that Indian food in London is to die for & they weren't lying!

Food was good. The worst service I ever had in a restaurant by waiter named Joy. There was no joy in his service. Every other waiters were taking care of their customers and this guy was just watching everybody else. I had to ask another waiter for me to get a glass of wine or water. read more

(June 2014) My 2nd tine visiting this restaurant. Excellent service, excellent food, and lovely atmosphere/decor. A standard for what Indian restaurants should be. My group ordered several dishes (butter chicken, chicken biryani, a sampler plate and several others) and the presentation, food, and service was just amazing! This restaurant is right next to the airport and is actually the only one around (besides a Chinese restaurant nearby), due to its location, I don't think it sees a lot of business (what a shame!). Definitely one of my top 5 Indian restaurant experiences of all time. read more

Very clean, fresh food at reasonable prices. Would recommend anyone stuck at heathrow nearby hotels and locals to try this place out.

Just happened upon this restaurant near Heathrow. While, overall, the food, service and value was good, I was not expecting thumbnail sized shrimp in my King Prawn Korma. Tasty, for sure, but either change the ingredient or change the name. read more
