What amazing food! The cocktails are absolutely amazing!! Greatest Indian food I’ve had lately. The chaat is absolutely delicious!!! The pao bhaaji is the best in town for sure.
TOP TIP: Everything about this place is perfect! Especially the well mixed specialist cocktails….
With indoor and outdoor seating this fantastic joint on Upper Street has newly opened (June 2021) with sister spots in Holborn and Oxford Circus.
Everything is delicious. I had the thali (a mix of curries with rice and extras) but there is a huge range of delicious small and larger indian street food plates to try.
All the food is full of flavour and deliciously (and beautifully) prepared. A great spot for a date or with friends and includes vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes and supportive of other dietary choices.
This is going to be a firm favourite in my regular calendar of places to meet and eat.
Ps. Inventive cocktails taken on traditional drinks but with added flare are well balanced and wonderful so definitely try at least one.
Apologies I didn’t take more photos of my main meal but it smelt so delicious I started eating it before I remembered!
My first visit to papadum and I was blown away by the flavours and the cocktails the Indian fried chicken was delicious! The atmosphere was great the staff were very friendly, I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who talked to me about the philosophy of the food including some of its origin and the added twists that papadum have applied.
All in all it was a great experience for me and I would 100% recommend and make a visit back! 10/10
Stumbled across this place and wow we were so impressed!! Greeted by a lovely friendly young lad on the door who showed us the menu and offered us a seat, we sat out side with blankets and heaters which was lovely. There was so much on the menu I could have ordered! Our food was amazing, best onion bajhis I’ve ever had! Only bad thing id have to say would be that it’s 3 hours away so I can’t get it delivered!! Hahah I hope to come back soon!
Spotted the restaurant and stopped by for quick lunch. The staff was amazing and friendly. The place was incredibly clean and really good vibes. We ordered the Vegan Chai and Pani Puri. Highly recommend their chaat as we kept ordering for more. The food and vibes gave is a nostalgic feeling of home.
Highly recommend it.
Excellent eating experience - Just awsome “finger licking” authentic Indian Street food offering both veg and non-veg options. Everything we ate was fresh, delicious and figure licking tasty. The food echoed my experience during my last trip to India. I highly recommend it whether for lunch or dinner. O and the chai (Indian masala tea) absolutely favour full (how could I miss that?).
Another point to make, in addition to a nice meal, the service was just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency ……………………. Compliments to the team at Papadum Street Kitchen.
Had a great meal there. Loved the service, loved the food. On top of that, at a reasonable price. The waitress and the manager were very nice, professional and friendly. They gave us lots of explanation and recommendations on the menu. Food was very tasty. Service was quick.
Lovely decor & people, relaxed environment and delicious food. Decided to give it a try after walking past and was pleasantly surprised. The pav bhaji is definitely my fave so far!
Came here on a spontaneous one, the host was really informative and knowledgeable - he really knew his stuff when it came to cocktails! The restaurant boasts that it is home to the very first Indian cocktails and they exclusively use Indian syrups. Would give them a try!
We were taken to this place by a very dear friend Zoha. She praised them a lot as one of the best chai and street food place and spoke high about the staff and the service as well. And YES she was absolutely right. We instantly fall in love with the place, ambiance, service, service style and of course food and chai. Chai comes in a traditional glass with parle g biscuits and that reminds me of my grandma and childhood. The ultimate place for our long neverending talks.
This place has the most authentic pav bhaji and vada pav in London (could give Dishoom a run for its money with these 2 dishes). It takes me back to Bombay every time. I've been told they try to use Amul butter from India whenever possible. That shows how much they care about their flavors. The menu has some gems that are rare to find in London, like sabu dana wada. They're also on deliveroo, which is great!
Authentic Indian food! My husband and I, had a great time here. Chai with Parle G biscuits, golgappe, masala chicken curry were absolutely delicious. Will visit again.
Amazing food and very friendly waiters. Even tho they did not even open yet, that still served us food! Not only that, the food was delicious. Thanks to mayank, you get a very friendly atmosphere!
Absolutely delicious authentic Indian food. Tried the chicken masala and pani puri and both were absolutely amazing and true to Indian flavours. 100% recommend!
Had amazing Indian food! It was quite authentic. Loved Pani-puri, Vadapav and Pav bhaji a lot. Boozy Chai was good as well!
By far one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve come across in a long time! The authenticity of the dishes with a unique twist in dishes. So flavourful they remind you of being back in Mumbai chowpatti. My favourite was hard to choose because everything was fabulous. However the sabudana dish was incredible. I’m honestly blown away, the food, the service and even the drinks. Will definitely be coming back
Lovely! So glad this has opened up nearby, great value and tasty North Indian food. The keralan prawns and pav bhaji were exceptional.
Super underrated. Delicious, fresh masala chai apparently made with the recipe of the owner's mum! Staff were very lovely and pleasant.
