Lily Tnadoor was very very good…read more We came here early on Sunday, around 5:30 for dinner. The Yelp reviews enticed us. Apparently they only open at 6PM most days but they have an all day buffet on Sunday, so we were lucky to be able to sit at 5:30. I particularly liked the menu because it had descriptions of the different curries. For example, it explained what a bhuna type curry was: "This dish is cooked in a medium strength thick sauce tomatoes and mixed spices, slow cooking process develops the thick texture of the sauce." Very helpful Lily Tandoori menu! Thank you! Usually I'm just overwhelmed and pick something random. We ordered the Prawn Puree- a delicious prawn curry concoction on a fried tortilla, and the Vegetable Thali, and Prawn Bhuna. The Vegetable Thali provided a lot of different options, both spicy and mild. However, the Prawn Bhuna really blew me away. The flavours were so wonderful, with a large amount of shrimp. It was the perfect amount of spice but also a bit creamy. Incredibly delicious. Service was always very good.

Recently opened Gurkha's Inn has carved out a little niche for itself by serving a combination of…read moreIndian and Nepalese food and positioning itself outside the Brick Lane blast radius. In fact, a decent curry is surprsingly hard to come by in this corner of the world. Reasonable prices, generous portion sizes and perfectly spiced dishes. Coupled with friendly service - I shall head back. EDIT: Also, in case it's not entirely obvious, this is a review of the restaurant on Mare Street, not some hotel in Greenwich with the same name. I'm not quite sure why Yelp is associating the E2 post code with Greenwich... And the Yelp "customer support" team refuses to change it. Not very supporting of the customer there, folks.

Its down a side road and looks, from the outside like someone's house, but once inside its pleasant. We had grilled salmon and butterfly prawns for starters which we couldn't stop 'mmmming' over, and then the mains came out, loads of it. Phewa Machha (cod curry) for myself and Gurkhas's Special Biryani for my partner. I finished mine but my boyfriend got a doggy bag and took what he couldn't finish home. Staff were very friendly, but the only downfall was no desserts were offered, which I would of had, although in hindsight perhaps best i didn't. This was made up however with complimentary shots when we got the bill. And to top it off this only came to £48.00. Brilliant!

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.

I had to drag my Mrs in here. She was put off by the colourful sinage for some reason, but I just…read morehad to know. 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.

This was not merely the best Indian food I have had in my life, it was one of the greatest meals I…read morehave ever had the pleasure of eating. I had the Hunter's menu, which was filled with fresh game and superb in each course including the centerpiece of Guinea Fowl biryani and dal. In addition to the tasting menu, I shared other plates with family. I cannot say enough about how good every single dish was. The flavors were so rich, complex, and simply stunning. I would give this six or seven stars if I could. Eight stars. There are not enough stars. Along with the food itself, this is a restaurant that is doing every single thing right and at the highest level. The second you walk through the door, you will be greeted by a delightful bell and decor that artfully mixes the best of Britain and India in a thoroughly modern way. For drinks, they offer comprehensive and delicious options for booze, cocktails, and those who prefer non alcoholic beverages. The tasting menus on offer are not mandatory for everyone at the table, which is not typical and should be the standard everywhere. Perhaps most importantly, the service is incredible. Our waiter, Danny, was so kind. The pacing of the meal was perfect. My sister received an incredible birthday surprise and card simply because I noted it was a special occasion on Opentable. I left Kutir smiling from ear to ear. I will be back as soon as possible. Sadly, that will likely be a long time from now since I live in New York. I pray they open a branch in my city soon. Please come home to me Kutir. I love you.

A friend of the chef organized this dinner for us, and like many other fancy Indian restaurants, they do have a rather silly children policy, but thanks to our host, an exception was made for us. Kutir's experience begins with it's thoughtful setup. You are indeed welcomed in a home with pretty compact seating. Their rooftop seating is really inviting, but we could not seat there because the restaurant wasn't as busy on a Sunday evening. Aarav, our server made food recommendations which included a brilliantly tasty serving of Crab ~ Pepper Fry (£14), Lamb ~ Black Cumin (£24), Jheenga ~ Moilee (£26), and a Bread ~ Basket (£12). Our little one enjoyed the Double Tadka ~ Dal (£8) with some Steamed ~ Rice (£5). The Crab and Jheenga were absolutely spectacular. Desserts were on the okay-ish end and included Chocolate ~ Peanut (£10), and Cassata ~ Rose (£9) which had a very grainy texture. Aarav was very attentive, and friendly towards our little one. Very very good service. Noise levels were on the lower end, and it was easy to have a quiet conversation when we weren't eating all the delicious food! Highly recommend this place for an absolute unique take on Indian food!
