Roti Chai is an absolute gem. Came in tonight, a short distance to the play in Regent Park. We had a much needed reservation, received a window seat and set out to order. We were upstairs, where there is a street food type menu. The chicken lollipops are exceptionally done. In fact this remains my all time favorite Indian restaurant. read more

Indian street food restaurant and their portion is great. You can order appetizers like lollipop chicken to share. It comes with mint dip and it was very good. We ordered lamb curry with naan bread and it was flavorful. It gets very busy at night, recommend to go early! read more

Roti Chai - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

hot and delicious, very traditional, low and relaxed lighting, server checked in often but not too much!!

The chicken biriyiani and vegetarian samosas here are outstanding! The samosas had whole toasted fennel seeds that provide hefty flavor without much heat. The meat portion in the Biriyiani was generous, and the rice was perfect read more

Two restaurants in one. More formal/traditional dining is downstairs and a more relaxed/street food experience is on the street level. I ate in the casual part of Roti Chai. The food is good and the dishes reflect the street foods of ann Indian market. The dining area is a large open room with wood tables and chairs. None of the cloth tableclothes you'd expect of the more formal experience. There are plenty of servers but for some reason, we had to flag one down each time we wanted to order. Our meal started with drinks and progressed to little plates and then main courses. We only had the table til 6:30 and started with 2 hours to eat but with the delays in ordering, we were pushing right up against the time limit at the end. Servings were a bit on the small side for me. read more

On our night out, our options to eat at ran dry and essentially we did not know where to go. It being the holiday season, everywhere was packed with either full house or long queues. My wife looked up other options as we were walking and saw Roti Chai. It sounded good so we walked it to this location. The host asked if we had reservations, and we said no. She led us downstairs where they were able to accommodate us. The ambiance and service was top notch. Our waitress was very attentive and let us take our time to order. Everything we've ordered was phenomenal with great flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant. I would definitely be back again when in town. read more

One of my most favorite places from when we lived in London. Was just in this week and they have not missed a beat. The food, which they call Indian Soul food, was outstanding. The service is great and the decor, while basic, is inviting. This is the rare Indian restaurant where both novice and experienced Indian food connoisseurs can enjoy. read more

This place was incredible!!! I cannot recommend it enough. The food was undeniably our favorite meal during our trip to London. Everything had so much flavor and each dish was better than the last. The service was quick and very kind. The waiter had many recommendations for us and was very pleasant to talk to. As were the hostesses. Everyone was very attentive. A manager even came and asked us how our meal was and questioned if we have any suggestions for them to improve on, to which we of course said no and that everything was perfect; The inside is clean and beautiful, as well as the bathrooms. Very good atmosphere with lovely decor. If I was a local, this is where I would take all my guests. 10/10 would recommend. ((I don't really write recommendations, but this place was so good, I had to)) read more

Hadn't tasted such great food here and I would love to thank the restaurant for going a long way in building the hospitality sector.

Did an early dinner and had no issue getting seated. Strong food menu; everything we ordered was verygood. We opted for the more formal downstairs dining area, which had a nice vibe. Upstairs is Indian street food style and a completely different menu. Cocktails were very good too. Knocked a star off because the toilet area was not clean and our server wasn't familiar with the menu items. read more

Came here today as my last stop before heading to Heathrow. I hadn't managed my time so well and only had about 30 minutes for lunch. Luckily, I visited during Ramadan and they weren't as busy as normal. I was seated right away and got the Samosa Chaat and the Jackfruit Biryani. Both were delicious... especially when you add a little bit of the yogurt and chutney from the chaat to the biryani. Shout out to the kind hostess and the waitress who made sure the kitchen got my order out quickly. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting London or local to the Marble Arch area. read more

Roti Chai - Flowely drink - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

I went on Yelp to find an Indian restaurant nearby. This was highly recommended and close. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people who were Asian eating there - the mark of a good I Dian restaurant. I wasn''t a sed to the hipster vibe in an Indian restaurant but the food looked good. I did not like the ambience upstairs- it was def more like a cafeteria with high prices (and downstairs they were having a big private party) but the food was really excellent. The lollipop wings were great but the kerala prawns were out of this world. If I were in the area I'd def go back but see if I could eat downstairs read more

Roti Chai is located on Portman Mew S and near Portman St in Marylebone, London. We found Roti Chai highly rated in Yelp and we would like to check it out. We came here for dinner and they're not busy at all. The hostess asked us would like to try street kitchen or dinning room. We hesitated the different and checked the menu pretty the same dishes. We prefered to have Indian Tapas and we could ordered a bit more. Garlic Naan - it's fresh made, soft and fluffy. Vegetable Samosa - it's good but not great. Macher Jhol - fish curry just ok and not flavourful. Railway Lamb Curry - it's medicore and curry wasn't rich. Overall, lacking food presentation and not authentic dish but the service was excellent. read more

We were visiting London and craving Indian food, and we were lucky to come across Roti Chai. We sat in the downstairs dining room, which has a different menu and vibe than the upstairs street kitchen. Everything we ordered was delicious! For starters we had garlic naan, saffron chicken tikka, and chili garlic prawns... all must have in our opinion. The main entrees- butter chicken and malai methi paneer- were wonderfully flavorful. They have excellent cocktails too... our favorites were the mango caipirinha and pineapple gimlet. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. read more

I went here on a Sunday afternoon approximately at 3:00 PM and it was quite crowded but I was able to get a seat within a couple of minutes. One seated I was given water and placed my order I ordered the chicken and Railway lamb. The chicken was very tender and the sauce that accompanied it was great. The Railway lamb was magnificent it was not too spicy. The lamb was cooked tenderly and it was also accompanied with some potatoes too. I would definitely go back to this place to order more food to try. read more

Instead of the tapas (or chaat as we might call it), I went for their side curries, paratha and pulao. The pulao was lacking the salt just a bit but otherwise the basmati combined very well with the steaming carrots, cauliflowers and other veggies. A side of chole with oil-free paratha completed a delicious dinner. The chole were cheap, plenty and had a rather unique spice to it. They seem to have a rotating menu, a lot of the food items on the photos here weren't on the menu. Would be nice to be back and try some other of their chaat items. read more

Good Indian food, spicy by European standards, mid level by Indian standards, they have street food section and more formal section. We used the street good section, both food and service was very good. read more

Very disappointing. Food was very average. Positive: -Staff was very kind and efficient. -Localisation is great, 2 minutes from M&S, Selfridges, Oxford street, etc. -Decor is modern The food was very boring, no flavors. I went with two colleagues that love indian food and have tried many different indian restaurants. We were all disappointed. Dishoom was much better. read more

Love this place for casual dinners in the street kitchen upstairs. Everything I've tried has been delicious - from the refreshing papri chaat to the creamy kulfis - its all spot on. The naan sampler is great with anything, especially the curries, such as the pulusu chicken curry. The only thing is that service can be a bit slow - a bartender had noticed that we weren't being serviced and had to alert a waitress to get to us. But besides that, I'll be back to try more of their contemporary take on Indian food! read more

Okay this was the best Indian food I've had so far in London. Nice place, good vibe and excellent food! Went here as a group of 3, and at around 8:15 pm; they had a 5 minute wait for the Street Kitchen. They also have a fine dining area, which we weren't really interested in. We ordered some Chilli Paneer for the table, which came after our entrees -- but it was good in a way. The Chilli Paneer's spice level is nuclear. I usually enjoy spicy food, but even I couldn't handle their spice level towards the end. For main course, I tried their Macher Jhol. It was absolutely delicious! I wasn't too impressed with the portion size. At £8.50, I expected a bit more.. but whatever portion was served was absolutely yumm! Definitely recommend this if you are into spicy and delicious food! read more

Absolutely delicious food with impeccable service in a restaurant that provides two dining options: The Kitchen upstairs that serves Indian Street food and the downstairs dining room that has a bar and a lovely nighttime atmosphere. Super happy with our evening and we are both foodies who can be picky. We had the lamb samosa which was best samosa we've eaten- the flakiest of crusts with very flavorful lamb and accompanying spicy sauce. The chaat was a revelation. Flavorful. Cool, and with multiple textures It was recommended by our waitress. We shared a main dish- the Nimisi chicken. It was so tender and juicy with a gorgeously sumptuous filling. The presentation at the table was a triumph. Perfectly sliced chicken fanned out in a bowl full of golden sauce was set out. The waitress then poured more sauce over the chicken table side with a lovely flourish. There was enough sauce in the pitcher to pour over to make the chicken even more steaming hot before eating. The rice was steaming from the bowl, every grain perfectly cooked-my husband kept commenting on the fluffiness.The naan was freshly made and very tender, The dining room had many large dining parties but you'd never know it by the attention to detail and the care the servers gave us. So appreciative of the unforgettable experience. You must go! read more

Best Indian food I've ever had. No lie. Downstairs dining area: I'm veggie, and was surprised to see so many options on the menu. I started out with the palak papri chaat. Excellent. My husband and I shared the Schezwan chilli paneer. Seriously, hold me down. Bada**. I then had the palak paneer and tarka daal, accompanied by the roti and naan plate. Wow, the paneer melted in my mouth, the palak was of the gods, and the daal was unique, and tasted like the most epic buttery daal goodness I've ever had. Broke my taste buds. Rico. Rico. Rico. The service was excellent. The waiter and manager were both very present, without being overbearing. Def going back! Update: 2 days later we went back to try the Indian street food (upstairs). Def underwhelming. They were slammed, and maybe that affected preparation/service. I wouldn't go back for the street food, but would for sure go back to the dining room food. read more

Amazing food off the beaten path. Prices are quite reasonable. Well staffed for good service.

In a city with no shortage of good food, Roti Chai is definitely a runt of the litter. The branding and decor are cool, but there's not a whole lot of depth below the surface. The food is rather bland for Indian food, and the whole street food shtick has been become rather tired and trite. This must be the universe's way of saying "beta, don't waste your shillings on such mediocre khaana when you can eat your ammi's cooking and buy her a gift with the money instead": point taken universe! The cocktails are actually fantastic here, and the few my brother and I tried were delicious, and reasonably priced...the food on the other hand was uninspired. The agni "fire" wings were fatty and chewy and as far them being "dangerously hot and spicy" per our waitress...mah, me thinks not. The English concept of "spicy" is laughable and the general lack of "mirch" left most dishes lacking in any sort of real flavor. I'd stop in for drinks and maybe a samosa...beyond that, just go to Dishoom! read more

Was recommended to go here by a local friend. The food was delicious. We had the butter chicken, chicken 65, and the lamb curry dish. I have zero complaints about the food it was perfect. The ambience and service though were just okay. We were in the reservation downstairs area and had expected it to be quiet and a nice date night. Especially when you're spending over a hundred pounds for two people for dinner. Couldn't have been farther from the truth. This is a very family friendly restaurant so a lot of kids were running around plus it was quite loud. In addition, because they were so busy, our waters never got refilled and we were given a dirty utensil for our dessert read more

Wow. Indian street food done so well - the menu upstairs is sharing food, tapas-style small dishes. Good selection and lots of range in the spicy scale for chili fiends and haters alike. Service got a little slower as the restaurant filled up, and at one point there was a small queue for tables. Restaurant gets very hot in London spring/summer temperatures. read more

Ventured in here on accident on a rainy London day seeking shelter from a downpour and very pleasantly surprised. A great menu with tasty Indian street foods, snacks, and small plates. Dishes are authentic, spicy, and the atmosphere is fun and designed to emulate the street stalls of Mumbai. read more
