Ordered food from Lal Quila. Once received, we noticed that the prawn curry only had two prawns total. However, we weren't too bothered by this, until we found a dead dried up spider in the middle of the naan bread. We had to leave the rest of the food after this. I emailed to ask for a refund or discount, and they have completely ignored my email. Would not recommend - definitely not too clean

Food is not Pakistani but Indian or Bengali where you have that sweet taste in curry.Staff is the one selling the place. Nice, polite and proffessional Bengali boysFood is 2/10 but service is 7/10Naan is £2.75 that is SHOCKING.Dietary restrictions: Halal but serve alcoholic which puts off Muslim diners

This chef's food tastes so good it makes you feel like you've stolen it from royalty.

Food was STRIKEY!! Lamb jalfrezi… more like lamb Jalcrazy! Couple of Cobras to wash it down and I was in my mind palace ? Staff were top geezers. Couple next to us were a bit miserable but in the words of Frank Sinatra “That’s Life” . Probs jelouse of the class night we were having. HA! Top place, would recommend for a Bhuna with the boys (or gals)Parking: Just parked my arse in that chair and was taken straight to India

We did a ‘walk-in’ at 6pm on a Saturday evening & the restaurant was already 1/2 full. A lovely ambience with nice decoration & helpful staff. I had the Afghani curry, never having seen it in any curry house before, and it was fantastic! A beautiful chicken dish with an outstanding creamy and minty sauce. My wife had a Keralan chicken dish which was also very tasty, but on tasting mine she had to agree that mine was so tasty. Staff were very friendly & efficient. By the time we left the restaurant was full - always a good sign of a restaurant!

This was our first visit to the restaurant , went on a Wednesday evening at 5:00 so it was quiet, hadn’t booked but were seated straight away. Once ordered it was quite a short time before our starters arrived and they were excellent as was the main courses. All the dishes were well presented and tasted fantastic. We had two courses each and two drinks. The final bill was less than I expected . If you like Indian food and are in the Bishy Road area give them a try.

We were staying for a few days around the corner from this restaurant. We decided to have a takeaway and fancied a curry. Lal quila did not disappoint. Ali took our order and suggested excellent dishes when we told him what we liked. We had a chicken and lamb jalipur which was beautiful. He said the lamb was soft and it certainly was. As a curry lover this was super! Excellent service, friendly and made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend.

Ordered take out. Nice food, decent portions. No cutlery though, was fun trying to eat in a hotel room. Ps.. The chillies with the salad aren't pickled if you get what I mean... Hot

Decent food and attentive service without being overbearing. They did get our starters wrong however rectified this without skipping a beat.We ordered a variety of dishes; 6 different meat dishes and 1 vegetable and were all good.

Their name is deceiving, don’t go there looking for Indian food. The food is not even close to what we know of Indian food, their food and chef is Bangladeshi. No disrespect to Bangladeshi food, however, they should not call that Indian. They did not have much vegetarian options, lentil was water down, and quantity was so little. Lal Quila is symbol of Delhi pride and history. Just by keeping the name of the restaurant Indian, you should not deceive people who go to relish true Indian food.

Really enjoyed two lovely meals here (la Quila special, and shashlic chicken) only problem was the day after me and my partner, erm... couldn't stop pumping, and it was baaaad! Swollen tummies and non stop pumps - I'm not sure what's going into it but it actually would stop me returning! Haven't had it THIS bad before with Indian food, this was a whole different level sadly, eek ? might be TMI but I gotta be honest! Tasty but deadly ?
