What we had: - Paneer Pakora - Non-Vegetarian Thali (Tandoori chicken, sheek kebab, keema masala, chicken korma, chicken curry, salad, dal, pilau rice, and naan) - Mango Lassi Final Thoughts: Everything was very yummy! I don't have Indian food often so I enjoyed having a combo that gave us a variety to sample. One of the sides in the combo has nuts which I'm allergic to so I just asked the staff if anything else had nuts to verify. I planned to just avoid that one dish, but upon hearing about my allergy the staff ensured me they would remove nuts from everything for us so I could eat it as well which was very kind of them. Great service, good food :)

Visiting London from Chicago and of COURSE we had to try some of the town's famous East…read moreIndian-Pakistani cuisine, but friends' recommendations were all for high-end and/or chain places. So we did some research. Somewhere along the line we found Meraz written up as one of the 12 best Indian restaurants in England. Okay, so we trek over to the East End (pretty wild neighborhood that we enjoyed) for dinner at Meraz. My husband was disappointed not to find a particular dish on the menu, but the waiter didn't hesitate to offer to have the kitchen whip it up special for him. My husband also went a little wild ordering all sorts of appetizers and side dishes. Now I don't like to deal in hyperbole. A five star rating should be sufficient praise. But I'm going to go overboard just this once: BEST INDIAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN IN A RESTAURANT. EVER. I've eaten in Indian restaurants at home in Chicago, in L.A., New York, St.Louis, Atlanta, San Francisco, etc., etc. etc. Many have been good, but none approached this. We ate every scrap of all the food we ordered, and only because we had a tight timeline and a busy itinerary for our brief visit to London did we not go back for at least a second meal.

We went to DUM before theater to grab an early dinner. I'm a big fan of places that do one or two…read moreniche types of food--and do it really well--rather than casting an excessively wide menu net. DUM is just that!! For two people, we ordered: 1. King prawn pan fry--deliciously warm, coconut curry sauce in a cast iron skillet for a starter 2. Mushroom filo dough pockets--decadent, perhaps, but the mushrooms were well seasoned and the filo dough crispy (no soggy bottoms!) 3. Chicken biryani to share--we prefer chicken to lamb, and weren't disappointed. The pastry dough top is an excellent touch and best paired withh the accompanying dips. All in all, a great find at a bang up price at the top of Wardour street. (With 2 starters, 1 main, and no drinks in dry January, our total was £37.) Friendly staff and throwback hip hop too. Book your table online to avoid queues, but should you get stuck queuing for your biryani...just rest assured that it will be worth it!

The place was packed and luckily, our table was in a semi-private space with two other tables. The main room seemed a bit cramped. There was definitely a hustle and bustle vibe to this restaurant. As for food, my friend and I split the chicken 65 and a chicken biryani. The main reason I chose this spot was for the pot-pie style crust on their biryanis and boy was it a flakey crust! The chicken 65 was tender and had a nice warm spice. The biryani was good and filling. Quite average IMO, but satisfying nonetheless. The flavors were quite mild and the rice was nicely cooked and piping hot under the flakey crust.

I will also say that Hot Stuff is more bang for the buck than Mumbai Delight with better quality and quantity food for the same price. The manager here is the chef and host. He was very accommodating and the food speaks for itself. Now I know why they say Indian food can be better in London than India. We got the following dishes and everything is highly recommended. - lamb saag - lamb madras - king prawn masala - aloo gobi - garlic and coriander nan

The restaurant itself is small and intimate but the ambience was wonderful. We were fortunate to time our visit when it wasn't too busy and we were able to visit with the family that owns this place. Service was top notch. Very attentive and great suggestions for different dishes to try. Food was flavorful and beautifully presented. You can tell this place is very popular with locals as they do quite a bit of takeaway orders. I wish we didn't live so far away. But if our travels bring us back to London, I will certainly come back. Highly recommend!
