    Great food and service! Was a little quiet, so not much atmosphere, but a great local option if you're in the area.

    Good value for money. I wasn't sure what to order so followed house recommendations. Mongo delight is impressive.

    We had the vegetable korma, cauliflower bhaji and dill & mustard appetizer as takeaway…read more The cauliflower and salmon dishes were tasty, albeit very greasy. The korma was overly sweet and almost like a dessert. Overall not bad, but better could be had at nearby establishments. The service was a little weird. They did not provide any utensils with the takeaway, which seems common at South Asian restaurants in London, but this is the first place that refused to provide them when I asked. If you are going to order takeaway from here, make sure you have forks and spoons handy.

    i wanted to have as much indian food as i could before returning to north america so i sought out…read moreindian restaurants in different areas of london. i found the curry mahal on trip advisor and glad i did. the place is very classy: white cloth, shiny cutlery, bright decor, etc. the food is probably considered mid range in london standard. the portions are big. i ordered king prawns in a bhuna sauce, saag paneer, papadum, and rice. the entree of king prawns with rice would have been enough so i ended up taking leftovers back that lasted for breakfast and lunch the next day. the food is very tasty, spicy, medium heat, which is what i want. not greasy at all! i guess this is what you pay for fresh taste-intensive indian food vs going to a take out place. i love the tomato-based bhuna sauce and the king prawns are very fresh and cooked just right.i will go back there for sure, probably with true, good friends who enjoy a high quality spicy meal.

    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.

    Went here tonight for dinner and it was all very good! Got the mix platter for the appetizer, all…read morewas good but the chicken tikka was the favorite. Also ordered chicken curry, chicken korma, lamb tikka biryani, garlic naan...all very tasty. Mango lassi was great too, one of the best I've had. My husband, I and our two sons thought it was very good. Our 11 year old is pretty picky and gave it a 10/10. The service was great too! Highly recommend.

Dishoom pays homage to the food of Bombay, and I was thrilled that they serve such a large and extensive breakfast menu! The restaurant is huge and beautiful - with lots of art deco touches! The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant just had great vibes - even the smell of the place (incense mixing with their delicious food) was great. I had their Kejriwal (two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast - "a modern favourite of the Willingdon Club in Tardeo, reputedly named for the member who kept asking for the dish, since he was not allowed eggs at home"), which was delicious. My husband had their bacon & egg naan roll with a side of masala beans, which he loved (he's even been trying to recreate the beans at home since we got back from London). With a large menu of other options and tons of beverage options (from alcoholic brunch options to chai to iced coffee), they have everything you could want for a great breakfast. We had a great breakfast at this Kensington location of Dishoom. I'd happily return to one of their other locations and have any meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
