Top 30 Best Delicious indian starters in London

“I've been coming back to Forest Tandoori for years now and it's never deviated in terms it's high quality food and great service. Some stand out dishes on this year's visit were the tandoori chicken wings, king prawn puri, and garlic chili dish (some of which are pictured below). You can bring your own booze from the off license next door and the corkage fee is very reasonable. I'm very much looking forward to returning next year!”

“Incredible food and atmosphere, will definitely come back!! Staff was super friendly! Amazing Indian food, incredible cocktails! Glad we live just around the corner!”

“Best curry in surrey we went this evening and had an amazing meal. Quiet time between Xmas and new year so had the place to ourselves but service was charming and unobtrusive. Had a lovely chat with the owner and his sister, the chef. The food was amazing! Great starters- Tandoori fish, spinach and kebabs but the star was the laal mas which had an incredible sauce with such a depth of flavour! Good value for money, good wine and we have already booked to go back in Jan and take friends. Thank you for a lovely evening! 28th May 2022 We went back this evening for dinner and food and service was fantastic again! Street snacks are amazing and warm and welcoming service.”

“Very creative food. Friendly efficient service. Indian Tapas. Including two glasses of good house wine each - dinner for four £105. Very pleasing outside area on the wonderful Twickenham Church Street.”

“Great food and service. It's also cheap for London standards. I suppose Indian food in London is most reliable of all foods. The portions were big and was done very well. Waiters are very helpful and attentive too. Highly recommend!”

“Utterly delicious and original food, like no Indian food I have tasted before, we ordered all the vegetarian small plates and each one was a delight. Great service and a very peaceful and calm atmosphere.”

“We have just had the most delicious meal here this evening! Fabulous personal service, a lot of care given to my daughter who has never had Indian food before!! It’s my mums favourite restaurant, she eats here regularly! She loved sharing it with us all!! Food was just lovely!!!!!! Thank you for a great evening!!”

“Been going here for years and same staff. Always friendly and great food. Discount for takeaway and nice small and friendly if you want to sit in. I have tried all the local Indian restaurants but mostly use spice brasserie as consistently good where some start good and go downhill.”

“Nice meal, chilled beer, calm place, good customer service and quick attention”

“The best Restaurant in staines, if you love Indian curries, they have everything from chappti to pizza n burgers, which is amazing, very very tastie mouth watering dishes. Customer service is amazing as well with affordable price. Best place to eat, I love it.”

“Absolutely brilliant. The food is delicious, well priced, and the team are so kind and thoughtful. We ordered from here the first night we moved into the area, and won't even consider anywhere else. I highly recommend the tandoori paneer and the prawn jalfrezi; you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Team Bombay Kitchen! ❤”

“Fabulous. Everything is excellent. Vindaloo is very spicy, but the lamb is one of the bests I have ever tasted.”

“Great food! Service a bit slow in the beginning but fine after ordering. Had the non-vegetarian Thali (basically a mix platter of good stuff).”

“Visited about a week ago. We often order from this place but we decided to dine in for a change… I think from now on we will ONLY DINE IN! Service was exceptional. The atmosphere was great, everyone was super friendly. I even had some specific questions about some spirits and the waiter was very helpful. The food was amazing as always and having a waiter that is prepared to spend time explaining some of the dishes was great. Drinks were also very good and reasonable priced. We will be back very soon, I can’t rate this place more highly.”

“Covid-19 complaint restaurant. Amazing and delicious food. Loved the atmosphere. Have been twice to this restaurant and will definitely visit in future.”

“Excellent Hyderabadi biryani at fast food prices. Chicken Biriyani and a diet can of Pepsi for £3.70. Very tasty Biriyani. You can't go wrong here.”

“Best Indian restaurant. Went last night and it was as fantastic as always. Staff are friendly, portions are very generous and everything we ordered was delicious. My boyfriend didn't understand why I would travel from far all the way to Finchley but now we will be traveling there together and more often. Thank you Sun & Sand for a lovely evening ❤️”

“We ordered catering from here last summer. The vegetable biriyani was very tasty and the chicken tikka also very good. Well packaged and the owner is friendly”

“Very nice food it was brilliant. I recommend Bengal brasserie to all.”

“Great food. Experienced the best Indian food in London. Amazing service. Each and every dish are distinctive and flavourful. We also enjoyed the ambience, the environment and beautiful designs. Will definitely come back to experience more.”

“Amazing! This has to be by far the best Indian Takeaway I have every enjoyed. It’s all vacuum packed so no spills. It’s hot. The ingredients smack of quality.... And it’s all in the taste. I gorged myself close to explosion! The Bombay Chicken being the star of the show.”

“We came here for a special evening and it didn’t disappoint. We like to try indian fine dining and compare food quality, service and value for money. Manthan definitely delivered on all. As soon as you enter it gives you a wow factor, not too big but not too small. The service is class and they are very attentive. Food is served in good time and the quality of the food is amazing. We ordered some starters, mains and grills with mocktails and we liked everything we ordered. This is now a new favourite place to go to. Now for the price, we found this very reasonable given other places we have gone to and paid way more. Definitely value for money in respect to quality of food for the price. The chicken buttermilk is out of this world! We ordered pyaaz kachori, chicken buttermilk, lamb chops, chicken tikka masala, rice, paratha, desserts and sindhu mocktail. Since the original visit in sept-22 I have gone back in feb-23 and it still maintains its high quality. Around £61pp”

“I went here with some of my colleagues. They were busy but managed to squeeze us in and short notice. The food was fantastic, and service was brilliant. I was stunned at how reasonable the prices were considering the location. I will definitely be going back again”

“Very very nice food, plenty of drinks t choose from, the only negative it was very cold in there!!! Didn't seem to be any kind of heating at all, (1 little electric heater on the end of restaurant) we were no where near it, other than that absolutely faultless,”

“First time coming here, very friendly and kind staff. Very spacious restaurant and lots of choices on the menu. Ordered a very tasty pizza with quick service! Would definitely recommend”

“We chose Red Klove to cater for my son’s 1st Birthday party. We are really satisfied starting from the planning and suggestions provided. The food was great and really fresh! The quantity was never a question. My guests (both Adults and kids) loved all the dishes that we ordered! This place is highly recommended for their food and service.”

“We came here for dinner for the first time and was not disappointed. The service is excellent and the food is made very authentically! Being Indian myself I can say it's almost as good as my mums home made cooking. If you fancy indian please try this restaurant... you will be glad you did. 10/10”

“Amazing food, great service. Turned up out of the blue 7 people and easily catered for us, food was excellent for everyone. Best Indian food in the local area and a great restaurant. Bring your own booze too.”

“We visited as a group of 6 and experienced excellent service and food. I was impressed by the quality of the food. Tried the Lamb and Chicken Biryani, Lamb was better in terms of spice. Garlic Chilli chicken was fantastic as was the mixed grill. The Manager was helpful and offered great service too.”

“Fantastic evening at Bombay Balti House, our host Motiur was gracious as ever! Fresh food, fantastic service and lovely atmosphere.”
