Unfortunately not a good place for Indian food. Naan was so hard and felt it was from a supermarket place. Food was stale and old.

Visited last evening with freinds. Easy parking. Good service. Good food. Highly recommended. They don't sell alcohol, but take your own

Jolpai is only a small restaurant with half a dozen tables, but it is clean and very pleasant inside. The onion bhaji are not greasy and the meat used seems tender and good quality. The added bonus is that they are not licenced so that you can take your own Cobra beer and they don't charge any corkage. All in all, a very nice curry at a reasonable price.

Was recommended this lovely restaurant by friends of ours & was not disappointed. The food is one of the best I have ever tasted. It was quiet when we went on a Thursday but the staff were brilliant & we were given coffee on the house which was a nice touch. The restaurant is not licensed so have to take your own drinks which were happy to do.

I have normally ordered delivery food from here in the past which has always arrived on time. Decided to try the restaurant recently and was not disappointed. Rubal really looks after his customers and the place has a great atmostphere. The Food was fabulous and service first class. Really a great find and very reasonable priced. Gets very busy at weekends to make sure to book a table in advance.

Food was delicious and costomer service, impressive
What should of been a nice meal in jolpai last night was the complete opposite, firstly we walked in not a single person in the restaurant yet the man didnt even show us to a table or welcome us, took at least 20 minutes for him to come over and take our order and when he did he wasn’t friendly. He chucked our coats on the floor instead of hanging and it took 40 minutes for our food to come out as he was continuously sorting takeaways yet still no other customers in the restaurant. He tutted and huffed and puffed at anything asked, we was a table of 4 we asked for water for the table he brought 2 glasses. The food was dry, horrible and no flavour at all, we asked for the bill and left wouldn’t even let my dog eat food from there!

Nearly an hour wait for food, too busy doing takeaway and delivery orders. Rudest FOH ever so sorry us paying customers expected service, maybe this is not the job for you, so rude it was funny! Food awful - full of sugar and food colouring. Tandoori platter inedible.

I do enjoy this restaurants dishes!I ordered lamb chops, salmon tikka, lamb biryani and a plain paratha.The lamb chops are absolutely delicious! Very succulent and tender, literally falls off the bone with ease. Packed with flavour and spiced to perfection. The onions were also the perfect complement! My only pit is you only get two and I wish I got at least one more for the starter.The salmon tikka was quite delicious, the pieces were quite meaty and didn’t have that fresh fish taste, you could taste the flavours of the combination of spices. I thought the portion was good for a starter, and again the sautéed onions were a great compliment.Their lamb biryani has to be the best I have ever had. The star of the show is obviously the lamb - perfectly marinated and cooked down because the pieces were literally pulling apart as I cut into them. The rice was perfectly fragranced with spices and everything was perfectly combined! The vegetable curry had these beautifully cooked down slices of vegetables, including broccoli - which complimented the rice dish superbly! The only downfall is this wasn’t properly packaged and leaked in the bag a little.This was my first time trying their plain paratha. It was honestly just quite simple but it did go down well with the vegetable curry - I probably won’t order it again as it was a little oily and I prefer naan bread.I would definitely order from here again!

The new chef/owner Rubel is a wonderful human being and his cooking is exquisite. On two occasions he has left the kirchen to discuss our preferences and cooked to order. This is currently our favourite restaurant in south east london. Banquet night on Tuesday and Wednesday is a must, but prices are always reasonable. If you are after a culinary experience, this is the restaurant for you.
