We tried this restaurant on a quiet Monday evening. No reservation needed, but had one anyway as we have been turned away from other restaurants. Only three of us, so we couldn't order as much of a variety as we wanted. Lots of options. We went for Biryani, Tika Masala, and Naan. Everything was good and of the right proportions. Service was good and attentive. Price was reasonable compared to other places we've eaten in the area. Short walk from Canary Wharf. We would go again. read more

This place was an unexpected gem. Our Uber driver suggested the place. I have been in London for 10 days. Eaten at dozens of restaurants. This is my favorite. Eggplant was great. Curry was great. Service was wonderful. Prices are pretty decent also. Will be going back tomorrow. read more

My friend and I both love Indian food and wanted a restaurant close to our flat. We had fairly high hopes from reading the Yelp reviews but were ultimately disappointed. Pros: - Warm, lively atmosphere with lots of Indian patrons, soft background music, and a large TV showing an Indian film right over our table. - Prompt and polite service from the waiters - Not terribly expensive menu items - Very clean restrooms - The daal included as a sauce for the biryani was delicious. If I was eating alone at home, I would've licked the bowl clean. Cons: - No thali - The portion sizes of the curry and samosas were tiny for their prices. We wound up ordering another biryani because we were still hungry. - The samosas, in addition to being tiny, were barely warm and part of the filling was even cold. I've had far better samosas elsewhere. These samosas were the worst or second-worst I've ever had. - The chicken tikka masala and biryanis we ordered were delicious but lacked the heat/spicyness we usually expect. We didn't even need to drink water. (It's possible that they dialed down our spicyness level because we don't look Indian.) read more

Had dinner last night and ordered the Thali dinner. It came with 2 chicken dishes, a lamb dish, rice, salad and naan. it was deeeee-lish! My greedy ass damned near ate all of that food - and it was a lot of food. How shameful! But isn't more of a shame to waste good food?? Everything was oily but very fresh and flavorful with a little bit of spice. I love me some Indian food. No joke. This was my first meal of my London trip and the food did not disappoint. It's kind of an upscale place. Nice decor and folks dress up a bit to go there. There seemed to be a lot of couples of dates there. Service was not very good. But they were extremely busy with two giant and boisterous parties in the restaurant. They really need to work out their system a bit better. However, food can trump service. read more

I wanted to like the place, but left really disappointed - it could just be that Lime doesn't sit well with my taste buds. I felt like all the curries, the naan, the appetizers...everything was extremely sweet. Extremely sweet. I've never had curry that sweet before. The spicy prawns also weren't spicy at all. Service was a tad slow, and we waited a while to get food. Also, if any mysterious people dining at the restaurant offer you a taxi lift, decline. We were totally cheated in the cab fare. read more

Very clean food, decent menu and very balanced flavors. Not the best Indian I've had but far from the worst. It could very well be a staple for anyone in the area. Service was polite, though not terribly attentive. You might wait on the waiter a while to notice if you need anything. My only real complaint was the incredibly weak vindaloo. Barely worked up a sweat. But if you like your curry mild, look no further. read more

This place is not one that you will stumble across. It is down a little side street down from the traffic light tree roundabout in Canary wharf (well strictly speaking Isle of dogs). But it is worth hunting out and I'd say it is the best curry place around here although there are two more obvious ones on westferry road. The food is really goo and you get plenty of it. The place is a little over designed (but not as much as one of the others) and I hve to admit it does smell of cleaning fluid a bit, which you kind of notice because it is never very full (I'm putting you off now aren't I?!) but if you are in this neck of the woods and fancy a curry, do give it a try because it is very tasty indeed. I can recommend the mixed grill starter which is good value to share and if you are really pushing the boat out the £25 rioja is really excellent! read more

On a recent trip to London, my wife and I stayed in Canary Wharf area. On our last night, we went to the Lime for dinner. It was a Monday night so the place was quiet but we ordered the two house specials to share and they were excellent. The slow cooked lamb was indeed drop off the bone tender and the tomato based sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The other dish had a variety of items and all were outstanding. As someone who has spent much time in India, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent genuine Indian food. read more

We ordered a few stew dishes to sample them. The stews were very oily which was disappointing. There was so much oil on the masala chicken that I got a spoon full of oil every time I dipped the spoon in! The grilled prawns were nice. The portions were big, but I'll need to continue my hunt around to find a better Indian takeaway. read more

Very tasty and clean food. Me and my mate ordered a bunch with the house wine. The service was excellent. The prices are also really good.

Ordered take out here several times, and each time the delivery guy kept me waiting for less than 20 minutes - important for this impatient American. They aren't shy about the spice so be prepared to have a cold drink on stand by. Portions are decent and price is reasonable. read more

Our go to indian restaurant whilst we are in London. We only order Indian takeout from here, and it's a favourite to take people out for dinner. The food is delicious! And very reasonably priced. My partner is an avid fan of anything extremely spicy, and whenever he requests something very hot they don't fail to impress him. Couldn't fault Lime, we love it read more

I don't really like Indian food most of the time, this was a rare exception. Full flavors, nothing overcooked, and delicious. The food was only a secondary positive for this place, it was the service and the bar that was exemplary. We arrived at closing time twice and the owner could not have been more gracious and welcoming anyway. The manager was an awesome guy, very funny as well as great at his job. I only wish the people running most bars and restaurants would act like the staff at the Lime Bar and the world would be a much more interesting and fun place. read more

Fellow Review Readers, Now I don't often like to leave negative reviews however I am compelled to leave a Sour (pun definitely intended) review regarding this restaurant in particular, Lime based in Docklands. My story is quite simple, on a quiet Thursday I felt like having a curry with a few friends bogged down by the day's workload in the office. We thought a nice curry would eradicate the noisy day that we had, Oh how wrong I was. We arrived in the afternoon. it was quite boisterous in the restaurant, a lot of business people like myself were in there manoeuvring their way through the Menu trying to settle their rumbling bellies. - Now while they managed to attract the attention of the waiters it seemed that we weren't going to get a Menu anytime soon. Not wanting to end up reading the menu form the next table and after a frustrating 15 minutes I got up and grabbed a few menus for myself while a waiter standing next to the Menu's looked blankly back at me without even offering an Apology. -I was as bemused as you are right now reading this. We ordered our food - Eventually, once the manager could peel himself away from what appeared to be suited up male customers. (this was a recurring theme throughout the night) The starters were bland and the main meal came a long time afterwards, Cold and yet again Bland. This was a huge disappointment for me, I have been to Lime on several occasions where the food was delicious hence my recommendation to my colleagues to spend an evening there- however the service has always been menial, but never this ridiculously bad. Their waiters are lazy and rude to the point you are questioning whether you have done something to offend them! We left shortly after the disastrous evening, The manager took his sweet time -for the first time that evening, to come over and seemingly oblivious to our anger he proceeded to advise us that Customers are not always right and that we should exit promptly. What got me to was that my Colleagues were of the same nationality as the managers of the restaurant and it appeared that they favoured other races and swore many times in their mother tongue which I am sure many diners would not appreciate. Fair to say I will not be going back, perhaps I will make a trip to Memsaab instead. (just further down the road). Kind regards, Norma C read more

Amazing good food very delicious and good value for money... also nice modern and clean environment. . The only negative point is that one waiter was really unfriendly and did not even smile once to us... However enjoying it and will definitely go again for the good food. read more

Lime Restaurant - Variety of the good food - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Clean and tidy restaurant with great food. Staff very friendly and polite. Nice venue for a romantic meal or with a group of friends. The lamb shank is a rather surprisngly good choice! Be careful not to over order though! Easy to do as the food tastes so good! Keep the cost low by avoiding the wine and just have a small beer. read more

Excellent restaurant. Food was really good, service was perfect. Our group had 13 people (adults and children) and everyone really enjoyed the food and themselves, kids were really happy as the ice cream was on the house and few other dishes. Management and waiters have a really good customer service and a very friendly approach. read more

Would not recommend it. The fish was rotten, it must have sat in the fridge for a year, the so called Bengali spices were straight off the shelf from a supermarket, the poppadams came cold and wilted. And the waiters had a bad attitude. read more
