The people on the phone are totally useless and incompetent, I spoke to two people. 8:50pm 26th March. One put the phone down when I tried asking him about one of the curries.The other guy was totally ignoring my question and speaking about apps and deliveries, I asked both of them if they can give it to the owner who was very good in the past. I think they have new management.He can actually speak English, I want him to see how they are running it without him. I abandoned my order because they couldn’t answer a simple question.

love to come here every time i’m back in London. Very good authentic food, fair prices and they even have half portions of one doesn’t feel like eating that much. Vegan and vegetarian friendly?

That was ok Indian food. Not bad and perhaps for a quick lunch this should be an option but this is more a english taste Indian that a authentic spiced Indian. No alcohol license but It seem that they are ok for you to bring your bottle. Average portions.

The staff lacked professionalism, and the quality of the Indian/Pakistani cuisine was the poorest I've encountered. Both the food and the masala chai were subpar, almost to the point of being a joke. I cannot recommend this

I have good memories of food and laughter with friends at this place.

Best curry house in London. Been dozens of times over years. Still good!Now been going for 34 years. Still good!
Food tasted ok. Portion size of meat in the chicken wrap was not great. One of the wraps I got had a piece of undercooked chicken. Not the best experience.

Been coming here since the 90's and it hasn't changed much - but this is a good thing if you want good quality, authentic Indian food at reasonable prices (especially considering it is a stones throw from the City).The restaurant no longer serves alcohol, however you are welcome to bring your own if you want to. (There are plenty of places nearby where you can get some beers including a mini supermarket on an adjacent street).It's East London's oldest Indian restaurant and the fact it's always full shows you the people who know about it, keep coming back.Kid-friendliness: It is not really suitable for kids - the seating is quite tightly packed and there are no kid options on the menu or anything for them to do when there.Wheelchair accessibility: The access is via steps and a small door - I don't believe it could be classed as wheelchair accessible.

Loved the option for full or half servings of dishes so that we could try more! The tikka masala sauce and korma sauce were both sweeter than we’re used to, but still tasty. The paneer was great—wonderful texture and taste.The service was wonderful! Attentive and friendly staff, food came out quickly, and there were little added bonuses that were appreciated such as an orange slice after dinner and mints with the bill.The ambiance was nice, and bathrooms (upstairs) were spacious and clean.

I bought a chicken biryani from here. It's not biryani. They have added chicken curry to the bottom of the container and added plan white basmati rice. Then they have sprinkled some fried onions. It's a fake biryani.
