Tindli by Chef Karnavar

"A lovely Indian restaurant tucked away around the west croydon with a great menu and good service. The restaurant is neatly maintained with pure ambiance and well lit and South Indian themed wall paintings! The dishes on the menu were quite varied and of course you can instruct the waiter fir customisation. The restaurant run festival/themed weeks every now and then around festivals - a treat to watch out for! We visited them on an Onam (Keralite Festival) festivity week and blown away with the 32-dish menu served on a large banana leaf! My son, who never had his meal from a banana leaf, though initially hesitated, enjoyed thoroughly after tasting the various dishes! And it’s unlimited! There were some stages(especially plantain based veggies and deserts and pickles) tgat I never tasted before! They were awesome!! I heard there was a Biryani Week just before this festival week, which was exquisite too as per my friend’s recommendation! See pics to believe the 32 dishes We surely attend this restaurant without a doubt and looking forward to Diwali festivity week, Chef Karnavar :) Chef Karnavar is a humble person and if you happen to get a chance, say hello to him! He and his partner Suneesh are down-to-earth people that make your stay enjoyable!"

"Went to have the Onam special Onasadhya. The customer service was pathetic. Waited a long time to get attended by the waiter and it took ages for the food to be delivered to our table. Quantity of the curries were very less, especially when compared to its high price. They didn't serve the water until we asked for it at the end of our meal. Taste & quality of the food was average. Overall the the restaurant is very much overrated for the fame among the Keralites which was created by the social media influencers."

"Delicious Indian food. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Croydon. Most authentic Indian food you can find anywhere in London for sure. Very friendly staff here and chef is amazing."

"Highly authentic Indian Kerala restaurant by a very famous chef. Food is very tasty and portions are good, served in nice crockery. The prices are reasonable. You get a very courteous and polite service. Better to book in advance to avoid waiting. The area around have ample free parking during weekend and after 5pm on weekdays. I will highly recommend for an enjoyable family dinner."

"Delicious, high quality Indian cuisine with a large variety of dishes and lovely service. We were so impressed that we ordered some dishes takeaway for the next day as well! 150% recommend!"
