    Chicken Tikki Masala

    Friendly staff and owner helped us order. The Chicken Tikki Masala was delicious, also enjoyed the desserts too! Definitely stop by this place if you come to London!

    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.

    The restaurant had the most tender chicken marsala and the most tender tandoori lamb. Excellent food. Fast service and very friendly.

The vibe is warm and lively, the service was great, and the food was delicious . The Paneer, House Black Daal, roti and parathas, crispy okra, chai and lassi were all delicious. Definitely worth the wait, and I'd happily come back when in London!!

    I'm probably going to get some hate for this but I only thought our meal was ok…read more Which bummed me out because I've been dying to try this place for years! We started with some yummy cocktails and the okra fries which were delicious - if only okra always tasted this good. For mains, we shared the chicken tikka, black daal, paneer and garlic naan. Pretty standard Indian order. The chicken tikka was just too spicy and we weren't used to that so it went mainly eaten. My favorite was the black daal but again, it wasn't so amazing that I would go and have it again. Honestly the best dish we had was dessert - the basmati kheer is a perfect rice pudding with crème brûlée like topping. So good. Service was spotty, I constantly found myself trying to find our server or make eye contact with him. They were slammed on a Tuesday night (which I'm sure is the case every night) so that's probably just the way things are but it could've been better. Disappointed but willing to try again, also made me want to try some other Indian spots in London next.

    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.
