Delicious dishes throughout! I tried the fried cauliflower, meat skewers, chickpeas and honey chicken with Nan and I can recommend all of them, especially the chickpeas. Next time, I would additionally order something with more sauce to enjoy the Nan even more. I'm sure the waiters can recommend something suitable as they are well organised and friendly. Additionally, the kitchen works very quickly (15 minutes for all dishes on a Sunday evening at 8:30). I'm not an expert, but I wouldn't call the food super typical Indian. I think it's more adapted to the London palate (and also to the London wallet) but: still very spicy if you want and just delicious and absolutely recommendable. I had a lovely evening and would visit again 😻

Probably the best Indian restaurant around. My husband says so, and it's his fave food. Our Indian friend says so. My son who went with me this time said it was the best meal he'd had in a long time. I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, and I love it. Should have remembered not to get the onion rings as they are just not the best thing there. The cauliflower thingies we're amazing. Spinach and lentils to die for. Just everything and anything is top notch. Go!

My brother came here last year and highly recommended this place. I don't like to always admit he is right, but he was.... on this occasion, at least! Not a single bad word to say about the food or customer service. Advice would be to ensure you book like he did as it was constantly busy although a weekday. The atmosphere was wonderful, but being me, I looked everywhere, and the ceilings especially could do with some love. More pics of food were taken, but he was acting camera shy so limited. My advice would be to try something you wouldn't usually order from an Indian restaurant, and I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

Incredibly good food in a relaxed atmosphere. This was the best roast chicken I had in about 15 years! Do try their signature tandoori chicken. Absolutely lovely service, too, Kind & caring. I would give more than 5 stars if possible ♥️

Excellent vibes all around - love their decor and moodiness! Their food definitely has a kick to it 🌶️ MUST TRY: - Tandoor lamp chops - Tandoor rib eye - Butter chicken naan 👌 - Bone marrow naan 👌 - Black daal Can skip: - Tandoor grilled chicken: a bit on the dryer side - Onion rings: flavoured batter which is a nice surprise - Garlic naan: just simply too plain compared to the other naans there ALSO they don’t serve rice, so prepare for a naan and meat day. Overall great spot for good food & catch ups. Would recommend for a small group of 4-6 to share more food!

A restaurant in the heart of London that is delightful! The decor, ambience, and service were very good, indeed, not to mention the food. Friends opted for the no vegetarian dishes and were very happy indeed with the Kebabs and Chicken. I opted for the cauliflower croquettes, Chickpea chaat with tamarind, pomegranate & green chilli. For mains, I had the Lasooni Paneer and Black Dhal with peshawari Naan, definitely recommend and will be returning in the future. The tea is great, too, for those Asian tea lovers.

Best Tandoori I’ve had in London. Butter chicken naan is a must have. Daal was delicious as well. They got all flavours exactly right. Unfortunately couldn’t try the thali experience as I was on my own and it’s meant to be shared. So do come in groups to get the best experience as it’s expensive on your own. Otherwise service and staff were great. Would definitely visit again.

This restaurant looked very promising so decided to give it a try and was totally mind blown. Even though we didn't book in advance and it was super full, we got seated relatively quickly. For starters we got the garlic Naan and the black dhal as per the very friendly waiter's recommendation the dhal was the best I ever tried, but the Naan had a very small portion especially for how expensive it was. They know how to make a very juicy chicken tandoor, and I enjoyed the cooks preparing it. I decided to try their signature dish, hot honey chicken, I can totally recommend it, it was very tasty and had a good portion. I also tried the lasooni paneer and it was so soft and had the perfect texture. They have meals for 2 whether meat or vegetarian where you get to try everything almost on the menu in case you are in doubt what to get. I wasn't very hungry at the time so I didn't get it, but I would totally recommend it. The ambiance of the restaurant was so hyped, and I enjoyed it even if it was very busy and noisy

Amazing food! Service was quick and priced relatively cheaply for its quality. Although restaurant a bit small and tight the food definitely makes up for it! Side note, make sure you order the lamb chops!

This is a great modern take on Indian food. I ordered the hot chicken, the Dahl, and the naan. The hot chicken dish was straight up flavortown. Well cooked tender fried chicken, with plenty of acidic, tangy, crunchy, spicy flavors. Absolutely fantastic. The Dahl was hearty and tasty too. I surprisingly didn’t care for the naan all that much, it was too much like a roti and not a naan. I would have liked more butter and a more traditional taste. I enjoyed that you can use a QR code to pay for the bill, it made this a pretty quick lunch.

While I did indeed go here it was due to a work arranged dinner and as I'm really not a fan of Indian food I found most of the food largely inedible, which is my fault not the restaurants. Having said that the opinion of colleagues is that the food was fresh and well prepared. The restaurant itself is relatively small and was very busy, with a 2 hour table time.

There are only a handful of good Indian restaurants that serve delicious food and this happens to be one of them. Vegetarian Beetroot seekh kebab was very tasteful and had a nice texture for folks who are looking to have an alternative to lamb kebab. The signature dish - tandoor chicken stingy- had a nice tangy spicy taste and is more than enough for 1 person. Chilli garlic Naan from the tandoor was very soft and thin, not had anything like it. Nimbu masala fries were fresh and crispy and you could tell its made using fresh oil. Would highly recommend the masala chai we ended up having it twice. Malai kulfi was quite bland though, not sure if malted caramel is adding any compliment to the dish. Please maintain your food quality and standard I would hate to change my review.

Found this place by chance and was not sure what to expect. I was not disappointed. The food was delicious. Really great quality food and great flavours. Highly recommend the house tandoor chicken. The staff were friendly and it was a wonderful atmosphere. Very close to the west end for all the tourist stuff and a great alternative to those who love Indian cuisine.

A different take on Indian cuisine in London. Not your traditional curry house. This is Tandoor chop House! Nice little atmosphere in here, resembles a dim lighted cafe in India. The food was very fresh and served in good time. The black pepper tandoori Tikka was very good! A great little find! Really need to go back and explore more of their menu. Friendly and efficient service.

I love how they combine tastes from a North Indian communal eatery and a classic British chop house. Love the Thali option, a beautiful presentation which offers an array of dishes instead of ordering individually from the A la Carte menu. The Butter Chicken which we ordered separately was also delicious. As dessert, the Malai Kulfi was the best, I could have certainly eaten more than one!! There is also this one cocktail which I'd recommend if you want something refreshing, the Limoncello Chaat Margarita. The staff were lovely. I will definitely go back and would love try the other dishes on their menu.
