Vijay 49 Willesden Lane, London NW6 7RF

"When we were in London, we wanted to try an authenic indian cuisine experience, away from the fuss (and inflated prices) of Central London. This was as real as it gets: delicious, unpretentious, generous dishes. Full of locals that seemed really happy to be there. All in all, a great discovery."

"You’re in for a surprise! Not much to look at from the outside but you do walk into a very Kerala household decor - soft lights, woodwork and a very chilled out ambience. The food was brilliant- we ordered the beef and two types of fish curries with Kerala parottas (bread) and some steamed rice. Spiced well - not “burn your mouth off hot”. Staff are lovely - had a nice chat with us and made sure the service was top notch. Value for money but mainly a great meal served up by some great people! P.S. - too hungry to take food pictures :("

"The best Kerala cuisine ever tasted in London. Ordered biriyani, chilli chicken, fish Molly and a dosa. Everything was good about the food that it reminded Kerala's taste back from India. Good staff who can guide you with different items, but the place and ambience speak for themselves. Parking on road with many places available. Card payment accepted."

"As an avid fan of Indian cuisine, I like to think I know a good Indian restaurant when I see one. Vijay restaurant gave me some of the finest Indian food I’ve had in the past 10 years: fresh ingredients, flavourful sauces and cleverly designed dishes with copious meat portions. The quality food, coupled with friendly staff to walk me through some of the more obscure dishes on the menu, has meant that my first visit to Vijay will certainly not be my last."
