Gorgeous, small, independent, friendly restaurant serving INCREDIBLE food: we'd been urged to visit and our expectations were exceeded! We had Chicken G and Acton Railway Lamb, and both were rich, moreish and had incredible depth of flavour. Well worth a trip if you're not lucky enough to be local!
If we were to define Chapati Club by a common idiom, it would have to be: "Appearances can be deceiving."
We have no qualms in admitting that the food we had on the evening, in comparison to our initial impressions based on both the simple decor and the succinct and straightforward menu, definitely exceeded our expectations.
There's nothing pretentious about this place; and yet, the dishes we received were, by and large, quite superb, with a kitchen fully cognizant of the use of Indian spices via-à-vis balance and harmony.
We will add, however, that while all "dishes are medium spice level", those used to their chilli may want to request cranking up the heat.
Our only criticism would be of Chapati Club's dessert menu, or lack thereof, which, for the moment, comes across as a lazy afterthought more than anything else. If they can manage to bring in some quality Indian desserts, it would complete an otherwise impressive setup, and propel a rating for 4 to something closer to 4.5.

Well presented and delicious food, lovely staff. Very enjoyable atmosphere at this cool looking place. Some dishes only available for take out but the choice is good enough for a repeated visit in person. A few typical vegetarian options complete the menu.
