A friend recently commented that the only thing tying him to London these days was Tiffin Tin and while I wouldn't go quite that far, I'd certainly miss not being able to order from this place. Where else can you get an Indian takeaway made from noticeably fresh ingredients with such great variety and that never leaves you with the slightly dirty feeling that most curries cause? It's certainly a new experience for me! They're also incredibly prompt. I live in Holloway Road and 40 minutes often means 20 or even less... read more

Had the family round for dinner on Saturday night and ordered Indian from this place. As we have just moved into the area this was our 1st taste from this take away restaurant, and what a fantastic find!! The food came within an hour as we did order loads of food & came perfectly packed and all the dishes were hot. The mix grill for staters was my fav and the currys we ordered just fantastic! fresh herbs & spices used and no processed rubbish. Will order again & again & again. Price a little expesive but you do pay for what you get. Thank you to the team there and my family were all really happy. read more

The food is kind of standard to good takeaway, but NEVER order delivery. We have tried to do this on two separate occasions from two different addresses and have been told our postcode does not exist. Seeing that we live in an old Victorian, it was mildly frustrating (especially since Royal Mail seems to find it and deliver my post most days). Don't even attempt to use a credit card. Not good enough for the hassle. You might as well cook. read more

Great Indian take away, fresh ingredients not too greasy always cooked fresh. I am yet to find an Indian take away of better quality, the Hornsey one in particular is very good having tried a few of their other branches. read more

The best Indian food in North London, you have to try it. They only do walk in collection or take away, but the taste and quality is second to none and all dishes are freshly made to order. If you go to pick up your order you can even see them making your food. Another great thing is that they will deliver at any time you wish, so i usaully order at 18.00 for a 20.00 delivery and they arrive on the dot. You always get free popadoms which is a nice touch and appreciated as they are so tasty and crisp. read more

Our favourite Indian takeaway when we lived in Hornsey. Just a shame they can't deliver to our new home! Food is freshly made in front of you as you wait and if you like it hot the murgha mirchi is absolutely delicious! I used to like Bombay Bicycle Club but feel their standards of dropped. This is the best Indian takeaway food in North London read more

Yes - this is a repost from Trip Advisor, but this place is awful. This was the worst customer service experience of my life. Having waited two hours for my food to arrive, I called the restaurant to find out what had happened. To my surprise, I wasn't offered an apology, I was instead lied to. They told me they'd knocked on my front door with the food. They hadn't, the front door to my flat is next to where I was sitting, and they hadn't knocked once. They said they had called me, but I had no missed calls and hadn't been on the phone that evening. Not once was I offered an apology. I was told the manager was too busy to speak to me, was offered no discount by way of making up for their mistakes and was spoken to so rudely I could have screamed. I am absolutely disgusted by this restaurant and the unprofessional way in which they operate. I will never order from here again, and would advise you not to, unless you want to wait 2 to 3 hours for your food, be lied to, be hung up on, spoken to like dirt and offered no apology. Disgraceful. read more

We ordered our food a good couple of hours before we wanted to eat, yet the food still turned up late.. and freezing cold When we sat down to eat it was obvious the contents had been re heated, meat was tough and shrivelled up, and very, very poor quality We tried to call to complain, no one answered the phone, we sent an email, no one replied Save your money, absolute rubbish read more

This should be a higher 'star' rating to be honest, however, using the delivery service ruins the otherwise quite good food. We have used this place twice in 12 months and on both occaisions we were told the food would take 45 minutes, last night we ordered at 20:14 and the food arrived at 21:37 . . . . not good enough. read more

The best indian food I have ever eaten and I'm indian. I've eaten in those so called top Indian restaurants in town and this one beats them hands down. Just like my mums cooking. Top place. read more

we ordered from Hornsey Tiffin Tin last night Friday 2 January 2014. The Dahl was watery and not very flavoursome, the bhuna ghosht was in part like old goat although other pieces were tender. All three curries, the Bhuna, the vegetable and the Brinjal had the same sauce which was quite tasteless anyway. All in all an unwholesome experience. Will be steering clear in future. read more

Have always been curious to try one of the curries here. They always seem busy with many cooks in the kitchen so must be good food right? wrong. Tried the Rogan Josh...take one tin of tomatoes, blend, then add some not so fresh lamb and lots of pepper..there you have it!! Better to use a ready made sauce or spice mix and cook at home. Disappointed. read more

Ordered delivery and were pleasantly surprised. Heat level on spicy dishes was spot on. Lentils, chicken dishes, sag paneer and rice all good. Samosas- veggie and lamb so so but arrived hot and we were well fed! read more

This is really good delivery Indian food, although you have to wait at least 45 minutes. It tastes very fresh.

I think it about the best Indian take away in the locality and I have tried every single one out. The food is consistent and feels authenthic. The place itself looks spotless too. read more

I have tried Tiffin Tin 3 or 4 times so far, ordering different dishes each time for a fair assessment. I have to say that although the ingredients (spinach and others) taste fresh and each sauce is good, I always find the meat dry. I like my chicken pieces to be juicy and melting, but theirs were not at all. I wonder if they pre-cook chicken pieces from chicken breasts then reheat them on order with the relevant sauce. If so then that would explain the dryness. Yes, the dishes are tasty, but the meat really let them down. I also struggle a bit for choice, I don't find the menu wide enough. Some more garlic-ginger and saag based dishes would be a bonus. After reading all those reviews about how "amazing" their food is, I was disappointed. I have been to dozens of Curry houses in the UK and abroad, as well as tasted the real deal (several dinners in Indian family homes) and my satisfaction of a meal from Tiffin Tin would be rated as just "OK". I read that the nearby sit-down restaurant (near Priory Park-N8) called Elahee is good, so I will try it instead next time I want to order an Indian dinner. read more

Decent enough food.. It seems very fresh, which is great.Delivery times tend to be really long as other have mentioned.. I've also experienced missing items, and one occasion my roti was missing so I had nothing to eat my curry with.I had to wait another HALF AN HOUR for them to send me the roti, so had to keep my food in a dish in the oven, which isn't great reallyI'd have thought they might thrown in something for the trouble but they didn't :( The food is alright, but it's nothing special.. It's just that London has so much terrible curry that this place stands out as good.The dishes could do with being richer and spicier Every time I order I ask for it to be extra spicy, but still end up having to chop up chillies and coriander to bring it up a level. Sadly like many other London curries, many of the dishes are too sweet (why is that!?) growing up in Bradford/West Yorks I've never come across the blandness and sweetness that appears to be in abundance down here. The roti's aren't great but at least they sell them! Anyway, that aside it is worth a go, and it's not too pricey. read more
