Food was delicious!! Best Indian food we have ever had!! The food was of great quality, it was very well presented and the portions were very big! Great variety in the menu! Also very tasty desserts and drinks!! It is a family run business, and the service is spectacular!! Will be definitely coming back!! Thank you very much!

Kaalika is a family affair and I am here for it. But I am getting ahead of myself so let me let you know why this establishment is so special. Imagine it if you will... following a beautiful day of sunshine and gandering through the Borough of Richmond/ East Sheen me and my compatriots William and Giorgio were famished and looking for sustenance and to our luck we happened to stumble across the newly established Kaalika. Upon entry everything felt just right, we were seated swiftly and comfortably by the host with the most Arvind. Without haste we were brought three crispy cold Cobras and as we perused the menus we were given a chance to soak in the fantastic atmosphere and decor. After but moments we ordered and our food was brought almost seconds later. I (Arthur) had the Korma (classic me irl ffs) and to say it was delightful would be an understatement. The flavours shone without dominating and told a story that I was glad to experience. William had this to say: The daal bukhara did things to me I won't forget and can't quite put into words. Flavourful beyond belief, it gave everything to me and I received it so willingly. We met, we fell in love, we settled down in Sheen and rasid a handsome family. Can't recommend it enough. Giorgio had this to say: I mean it's the classic: boy meets the curry - boy fell in love with the curry. And to be honest I almost settled down with this curry. What an amazing chicken tikka massala, it felt like a nostalgic prance upon my mouth buds. Dont be too (east) keen to tell everyone about this place because its a real hidden gem that needs to be preserved. But wowie my stars. Buckle up. Special shout out goes to Mr Harvey Moore who could not be with us. Also to the Peshwari Naan. It tasted almost good as Harvey does. Lots of love

Great place for Indo-Chinese food (and beyond!). Lovely family run restaurant where they put effort into every dish. A delicate and super tasty Chicken Mongolian was perhaps the highlight - absolutely outstanding flavours: complex, yet delightfully light. A slightly ‘different’, less dry, more succulent take on Chicken 65 was packed full of flavour. The pilau rice was nice(!). And the chicken noodles were very tasty - in fact, they would make a nice dish on their own. We also had a complimentary Ginger and fig desert, which was delicious.

Wonderful family run restaurant, food is pleasant and the bread is the best I personally have tasted. The staff is friendly and smiley, you can’t choose bad food here from their menu, give them a chance!

We had read the good reviews so wanted to try this new Indian restaurant in East Sheen. The food was really delicious and authentic and we especially enjoyed the chicken tikka, lamb chop and daal. For the quality of the food the price is very reasonable. This restaurant will definitely give Black Salt down the road a run for its money and deserves to have similar popularity based on its food and friendly service. Wish Kaalika every success.
