I loved the lentils with the nan! The sauces they gave were very lovely paired with everything. Service: Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable with the menu. We told her it is our first time and she broke down the menu items for us! Very sweet of her to do so. Overall: I would recommend this place to other people and possibly come back in the future when I revisit London! Food was pretty high quality and so were the people working there. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious too!

We had a long day walking around London, took the Uber boat up the Thames, and got off at Tower of…read moreLondon. Walking more, we happened upon another great Indian restaurant, The India Monument 3 at 2 St. Mary at Hill. Downstairs, a beautifully designed, softly lit decor with Indian infusion. Much larger than expected, we were surprised to learn each person needed to order a main course, as opposed to our typical small plate ensemble, but it worked out well. My partner chose the salmon tikki (£14.95). The salmon was perfectly cooked, moist and tender, not spicy, but healthy and delicious. I chose the chicken jalfrezy (£13.95). Tender strips of breast chicken meat in a sauce of peppers, onions, tomato, and spices, including curry. It was a spicier dish, totally enjoyable, I'd get it again in a NY minute. The cheese and garlic naan (£3.95) was delicious and large, but included only a single naan, a high price in my opinion. Our server, Rajal, was attentive, helpful, and made the meal presentation smooth.

This place was better than I expected. When I walked in I was greeted by the host behind the…read morecounter and then seated at my table. After talking with the host I found out he was from the US, Arizona to be exact which was pretty cool considering he did have a slight accent. I later found out that he had lived in the UK for about 10, reason for the accent I guess. Now onto the food. I ordered a few appetizers to begin with. I order chicken somosa, fish tikka, and a kebab (which the host gave us complimentary). Not one thing didn't take good, so much so I ordered somosa's to go. From there my main course came. I had butter chicken with rice, boy was it good. I've had Indian food many times before but this one was on a whole other level. The chicken was tender and full of flavor and the rice was super fluffy. All in all great, and the next time I want Indian food here in the UK this will be my go too.

CHECK RECEIPTS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES…read more. I have been a frequent customer of this restaurant for a long time, and I have noticed that their service is consistently poor. Today, I discovered that they have been charging a service charge on my receipts, despite the fact that this is illegal for restaurants and hotels. When I brought this up with the staff, they became defensive and thought that I was arguing with them. However, the receipt clearly states that the service charge is optional, which suggests that the restaurant is engaging in some illegal activity intentionally. I would advise anyone considering dining at this restaurant to check their receipts carefully and be wary of any additional charges.

Since we were full, we ordered small and it was the perfect amount for us: Vegetable Samosa - get it Garlic naan - get it, goes great with this entree Roti - not ideal for this entree, but maybe with something else, delicious, but too thin, not enough structure, thin tortilla like Basmati rice - get it for this entree Ruby chicken - get it bc it's so good! Our server also surprised us with chocolate lava cake and lightly spicy ice cream to wish us good luck on the marathon and it was so good!!! The perfect ending to an amazing meal.

I wish I had more people with me so that we could've ordered more dishes. My party of 3 ordered: 1 chicken ruby, 1 house daal, 1 garlic naan, 2 bowls of rice, samosas, fried okra, and some tea. Everything was DELICIOUS! The daal was fantastic. But man oh man was the Chicken Ruby addicting! The Chicken Ruby is their take on butter chicken and it was the perfect balance of acidity and spice and sweetness. We wanted to order another Chicken Ruby but we couldn't eat anymore. Would recommend this place to anyone! So good

Probably the best Nepalese food in South London!…read more Unlike many Indian restaurants, Saffron doesn't have an extensive menu with every possible variation on the theme of curry. The menu is brief and to the point, with a few dozen main dishes and a handful of starters and sides, so you know that time and care is taken over the preparation of each one. There's a few curry house favourites here for the unadventurous (Rogan Josh, Chicken Korma) but come here for the unusual Nepalese dishes like the fiery Chicken Everest or Kathmandu Lamb. The head chef is Hitkaji Gurung, formerly of the Bombay Bicycle Club, and he takes his food very seriously indeed. All the spices are ground on the premises and the kitchen is open to the counter so you can see what's going on. And they don't use any artificial colours or preservatives - no MSG or luridly-coloured sauces here! It's not the cheapest takeout in the world (main dishes start at about £7) but you pay for quality. There's 10% off for collection and every order comes with a free poppadom and tub of mango chutney.

After going down a Reddit hole determined to find a less touristy Indian restaurant, I was so glad…read moreto have come across this place. The service was amazing. As soon as you walk in, they offer to hang your coat. The young lady who was our server for the evening gave us the best recommendations--I wish I knew her name. She was so patient with our many questions and didn't steer us wrong. My friends and I started with the wings as an appetizer. They had the perfect amount of grill flavor and were very saucy and well seasoned. There was no classy way to eat them--they were that good. For our entrées, we ordered the goat shoulder and the half rack of lamb chops. The half rack is more than enough for one person, especially with naan and rice. The reviewers were not lying when they said you must try the lamb chops. They came out sizzling, and we laughed because it took us back to dining at Chili's (iykyk). Perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. The same goes for the goat shoulder. This was my first time trying it, and I was very impressed with how good it tasted. While I'm not usually a dessert person, you must try the carrot pastry. Think of it like a McDonald's apple pie (the old-school one), but with warm carrot filling on the inside and a sprinkle of pistachio on the outside--just 10x better. Everything here tasted spectacular, including the chili naan. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

The best part of our meal was making new friends with the two young gentlemen at the table next to us.

This restaurant was right near Watling street where we pub hopped in the shadow of St. Paul's cathedral. London is magical and Brigadier's is part of that magic.

Not just "hyped", dishoom deserves the recognition!…read more SERVICE Amazing service, easy to make reservations online, and easy to check in and get seated once your entire party has arrived. INSIDE Spacious, clean, and plenty of seating both upstairs and down. MENU For larger parties, they recommend their prefix menu which includes a various sampling of lots of delicious items. FOOD 10/10 I haven't eaten Indian food much, but was thoroughly impressed. From my mango lassi which was perfectly sweetened and tart to buttered buns, fried okra, black Dahl, garlic naan, and lamb skewers, everything was delicious. I esp loved the lamb skewers! We ordered a side of garlic naan with cheese which is basically a quesadilla and it was super cheesy and delicious as well. OVERALL Would def recommend Dishoom when visiting London. It'll definitely be a hit in your books!

There isn't much I can add about Dishoom that hasn't already been said. As a huge fan of Indian…read morefood, I can honestly say I haven't had better. The food was exceptional -- aroma, flavors, spice levels, portions; everything was perfect. While visiting London, a local friend invited me to Dishoom, knowing how much I love Indian cuisine. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 5PM, and the place was already packed. They don't take reservations for dinner unless you're a large group, but trust me, the wait is worth it. They have a fantastic bar where you can grab drinks while you wait for a table (they give you buzzers). I tried the Negroni and another tequila-based cocktail (sadly I can't remember the name), and both were phenomenal. Shared plates are definitely the way to go at Dishoom. We ordered the gunpowder potatoes (incredible), an appetizer with potatoes and pineapple (not my favorite; the pineapple threw me off), monkfish curry (amazing), and chicken curry. It was a lot of food for just two of us, but I couldn't stop eating. I seriously wanted to bottle up that sauce! The service was surprisingly impeccable, especially considering how busy they were. We ended up spending about £110 for an incredible dinner, and we nearly couldn't finish everything. Lastly, the ambiance! Inspired by Iranian cafes in India, the atmosphere at Dishoom is eclectic. I loved the dim lighting, unique decor, and the lively pace of the restaurant. Just go!

Finding good-tasting Indian that is also suitable for lactose-intolerants who don't like really…read morereally hot food, is quite tricky. However, when searching through the plethora of leaflets one day, I found the one for The Cinnamon Tree, and gave it a go. Their Lamb or Chicken Dansak is very tasty and filling, made, I believe with free range chicken. It is completely dairy-free as is their vegetable curry, although the Dansak is quite spicy even on the milder setting- recommended with Soya yoghurt if you have some in the fridge! The service is quick, although sometimes we've had an item missed off our order but they've re-delivered it with apologies. All in all an excellent delivery service, and they are more than helpful when it comes to asking them about ingredients and suggesting alternative dishes. The portions are massive and can easily feed two. Thumbs Up
