Unlike other places I have tried where they pre made the Naan. The Vibdaloo was very spicy and full of flavour. A decent portion of lamb was found within the copious amount of curry. I will return and try all of the fishes they have here as the selection is quite varied. Many of the dishes on the menu are brand new to me. It will be a wonderful exploration of flavour I'm sure. The staff are friendly and service is quick. My take away order was ready within 10 minutes of placing it, though I would allow 15 as the kitchen seems quite busy. I will post more reviews as I visit again...

We are visiting from Los Angeles. This restaurant was near our hotel. Absolutely authentic and…read moredelicious food. Starting with the crispy bread appetizer and dips/spreads, we were enchanted. The lamb Marsala and Tandoori chicken were perfect. It's small and intimate. The staff is quite friendly. I strongly recommend it.

Classic Indian restaurant decor and very comfortable. The manager used to always come out and talk to the customers, although this hasn't happened recently so its possible it might be under new management. Now for the important bit, the food! I am rarely disappointed, and have yet to find a curry house that has bettered the Golden Curry when they are at their best. The meat is always tender and the sauce is so tasty, they really do pile in the herbs and spices. I recommend the Brinjal Bhaji and Chicken Jalfrezi!

So far I have enjoyed almost everything we have ordered. They have a great vegetarian selection too. The chilli naan is crazy spicy but delicious, you have to be brave to give it a go.

The smell coming from this place whilst standing outside was wonderful, enticing you into this…read morequirky restaurant. The decor leaves a lot to the imagination, it's not even in a shabby chic, to be frank it could do with an overhaul. The staff are efficient but again like the look of the place a little aloof, they wouldn't win a popularity contest. All that aside the food is FABULOUS. I had for starter of a Mini Masala dosa, a pancake made from rice and black gram lentils, stuffed with a masala of potato, onion and ginger. For main course I had the Fish Molly, a king fish marinated in turmeric sauce, cooked in thick coconut milk with curry leaves, onion, ginger, fresh lemon juice and cubed tomato accompanied this with an Appam, a white, spongy pancake, made form yeasty rice batter. The price is not expensive and the portion size is good. My friend had the chicken tikka massala dosa which was HUGE. If you are in the Hampton Court area do not miss trying out this place. On the midweek night I went to Cocum I was not alone so the word must be getting around. Oh yes I will be back not for the aesthetics but because the food is so damn good. xoxo

West London has no shortage of curry houses - from the cheap and cheerful (cf Riverside Tandoori)…read morethrough to the 'normal' chicken tikka type places up to fairly trendy and modern. Monafs is neither cheap and cheerful (though it is cheerful) nor modern trendy, however, the food is very good. Most of the menu choices are what you'd expect to see on a British curry menu - chicken tikka, lamb dansak and madras and so forth. There are a few less common menu items, such as whole fish (I can recommend the trout jelay specifically). They have a limited wine selection, and the usual Indian lagers. So far, so British Curry. However, the food is excellently prepared and flavoured. Even the common dishes have something a little special (you can actual see the lentils in the dansak, for example). Each main dish at Monaf's is, I'd say, about a pound more than you might pay at a similar Indian/Asian restaurant in the area, but it is a pound well spent. Recommended.

This place was recommended and selected by my colleague who lives a few blocks from this place. We stated out at his fav local bar for a few beer accross the street and made our way over for dinner. After sitting down, we received a set of flat peta bread chip with a series of sauces - chopped onions, a mango sauce that was a bit sweet, a creamy sauce and two that were pretty hot. We had the local beer they had and then ordered. I was tricked into ordering a vindaloo lamp with special rice and garlic nan. They order some other stuff but I couldn't make it out since it's all covers in sauces. Anyway to give my feedback on the vindaloo, to my surprise it was pretty good. Don't know why I was so skeptical. It is known as one of the spiciest curry offered in England (wasn't told that before my order). Good for me I actually like spicy- more in the Mexican realm. The sauce did cover the meet which was tendered and seem to have been slow cooked in the sauce. It wasn't spicy off the bar, but crept up on you with quite a bit of heat. The special rice had veggies and eggs in it and the nan was delicious. Good news is that when I'm back in London, I will be open to trying different places that I have shied away from in my previous trips.

Price are also very reasonable, considering it's London.
