Belash Crouch End Tottenham Lane, London N8 8PT

"Food was delicious as always. Warm, welcoming reception is standard. Had been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years but due to customer service, not the food, I won't be going back. When it came to paying the bill, the older waiter came with the card machine and pretty much demanded that I add a tip and very rudely asked how much I was adding. I told him that if I were to tip, I would decide how much and leave it in cash. This resulted in him flouncing off with an attitude. The next time I visited, I received the frostiest reception ever, even the Manager whom I have known for over 20 years and who is normally very pleasant, barely acknowledged me. When the waiter came to lay our table, the cutlery was literally thrown down on the table in front of me. This is all very sad but in the same breath, it is most definitely unacceptable. In all the years I have been going there, I have never not left a tip so I was really shocked by the waiter's behaviour but more so by the subsequent behaviour of all the staff especially the management. The food is delicious and although the amount of meat/chicken in the dishes had become sparse it was still my favourite. Sad to say that I won't be back. Feb 2023"

"A good time was attempted but not had. Ultimately, the downfall of this establishment was due to the lack of paneer in sag paneer. Upon enquiry, the management and chef enlightened us on the secret recipe which featured melting paneer. This was a bare-faced lie. Paneer does not melt. Facts. Otherwise it was delicious and they were very nice. Just bring your own paneer or face disappointment."

"I used to love this place but had the WORST takeaway experience. Waited for my food for over an hour and then got told there was no driver to deliver it. Instead of trying to fix the situation or offer a solution, staff were very rude and dismissive and basically didn’t care. So after wasting hours I was left hungry and frustrated with NO FOOD! Ruined my Sunday evening and ruined my estimations of this place. Do not recommend."

"We went there by chance the other day for dinner and ordered a portion of curry to share, as we weren’t too hungry. The food itself was largely ok, although not comparable to some of the best Indian food you get in London. At the end we were told by one of the staff , who was grumpy from the offset, that 30 pounds is the minimum bill at the restaurant and our bill was much lower for a ‘standard customer’. I wasnt planning to be a regular or prepared to spend my hard-earned money to satisfy their self-declared rules. Not going back again."

"I tried Indian food for the first time in this place. Friendly service, clean place, extremely delicious food."
