We were desperate for some Indian food and this place is next to the train station.Restaurant was busy at 8pm on a Saturday, there was one guy running the tables and bar, hence service was quite slow and I did feel for him.Not really a great atmosphere in terms of decor. Food however was incredible and made the experience. From sitting down to getting our main (no starter) was just over an hour. Typical of Bangladeshi cuisines the mains (murgh masala) was incredible. As was the rice and garlic naan. Would definitely return if in New Malden

We had a lovely meal and the staff were excellent. They put 7 of us on a nice round table perfect for chatting and eating.Vegetarian options: I had Vegetable Balti ?

Good food but very very slow service which spoils the meal. So, my view is give this one a miss unless you like waiting for your meal.

Lal Akash has a problem. The food is good but the service is terrible . It seems to be kitchen based as the front staff try to be helpful but it takes far too long for the food to reach the table. It’s a pity as the food is good but it ruins the meal. I would recommend to look elsewhere if you want to avoid being disappointed.

There was a big party of us for our friends birthday dinner. The chutneys that came with the poppadoms as our starters were cheap and nasty. I think they got the mango chutney from the Co-Op. All liquid. The main meal took an hour and a half to arrive and was average at best. I had the chicken Dhansak and the chicken was dry. I had to call the waiter over two or three times to get my second glass of wine and the house wine was awful. I wouldn’t have fed it to my plants. Why they expect people to wait an hour and a half for a meal is disgusting. Absolutely no excuses. The waiter didn’t even come over with dessert menus and simply cleared everything away. No teas, coffees or desserts were offered. Definitely won’t be going back.

The owner and staff here are simply amazing! They are so welcoming, kind and friendly, and the food here is brilliant!! We come here all the time for takeaway, and every time it is outstanding! We cannot recommend them enough. Great quality food, great value for money, simply tasty food from their starters, mains and side dishes. We love this place! Best Indian takeaway in South West London!
Whilst having a day with our son, daughter in law & little grandson, they took us for a drink, then onto Lal Akash Indian restaurant. The food was delicious, well presented with a friendly waiter on hand. It was very nice that after our meal we were able to have a long chat with the restaurant owner, because it was early evening they were quiet. We often go to Lal Akash when we visit our son in New Malden and it's not far from their house enjoying the food efficient service & attention we receive which includes our grandson.

I was walking down New Malden High Street and a sushi restaurant that's very good I was originally thinking of going to is closed on Sundays, so went to look elsewhere. There's a lot of good choices for enjoying Asian cuisine in New Malden, but I find most of the popular and high rated Korean restaurants along the High Street are very expensive, but I love Indian food and walked past this place and looked good. It's quite a small restaurant, so comfortable and quiet and the waiter/manager was very friendly. The buffet deal is £9.95 eat as much as you like, but I think it's only on offer at weekends. I was also offered a la carte menu to look at, prices are very reasonable and there's good choice. I opted for the buffet deal, it's standard with saag aloo, daal, mixed vegetable curry and a chicken dish which was delicious. Naan included, it was a decent and good value buffet and I would return and probably try something different from the main menu on a different day.

This place is not like the Cheam branch - The tarka daal smelt off - The prawn puri doesnt taste nice - The mutton curry was nice but less pieces of meat and filled with large slices of onion and vegetables - Does not provide freebies like the Cheam branch which gives papadums and dips

Excellent meal. Wonderful staff.... lovely evening spent with my daughter. Doesn't happen often but great place to go.... and one of the most established restaurants in New Malden. Definitely worth a visit ?
