Top 30 Best Indian cuisine with a twist in London

“We were told this was the best Indian Restaurant in London and they were right! From the beautiful decor to the super accommodating and friendly staff, this place is a must! The Chicken Lollipops were the most delicious wings we have ever had. The Buttery Chicken was just as good. We will definitely be coming back! Great experience!”

“Have dined a number of times and never been disappointed. As it was bonfire night a friend and I decided to get a takeaway. The food was beautiful, hot, with all the right spices, making it the same as if dined in. What was exceptional was that 2/3 minutes after opening the takeaway bag I realised that one item was incorrect but as we liked this starter anyway we decided not to bother to do anything. However the phone went and panorama rang, full of apologies and sent a driver out with the item we had ordered. I said it didn’t matter but they insisted. I thought this was great customer service. Amazing food, never disappointed completed with great customer service by lovely people”

“Really delicious food! I love the menu, there’s so much on offer for vegetarians. I’ve had a couple of take aways from Saka Maka and would highly recommend it. The flavours are delicious and the food tastes so fresh. I really enjoyed the sprout salad starter and the black lentil Dahl was absolutely delicious!”

“The most delicious food I’ve had in a long time and at a very reasonable price for where they’re situated. I needed something to eat whilst staying in my hotel and it was between this place and the M&S Simply Food in the BP across the road. I am so happy I chose this place! I bought the Turkish Kebab Wrap and a bag of pakoras, they were both divine. The pakoras were the size of my fist almost and there were four of them. The wrap came with sumac, bell pepper, red onion, herbs and spices and it was so satiating and satisfying to eat. I also tried a rose flavoured Faluda drink to wash it all down and it was refreshing and smooth. The service was perfect, polite and swift. Truly a little gem of a place and if I’m ever in the area again I’ll definitely be paying a visit.”

“Fantastic find, a cosy, simple, but lovely restaurant above a pub. Great choice of Laotian and other South East Asian dishes. Our table of 4 thoroughly enjoyed all starters and mains ordered. Very reasonably priced and attentive waiting staff.”

“Probably one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. They have a great mix of dishes, some of the usual suspects, and lots of specials. Our food was delicious, every mouthful was a pleasure. Definitely worth a visit”

“Authentic Hyderabadi food- good halal and veg options. Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Alcohol free. Recommend chicken 65, talawa gosht- very tender, Indo Chinese section. Spicy so not for those who like plain food. Tea options, no coffee & traditional desserts”

“A restaurant serving authentic Indian cuisine. Food items are tasty . Very delicious brinjal preparation is their specialty. Very tasty paneer preparation. Liked the fish curry also. Starters are awesome. Neat and clean wash rooms. Space is comparatively smaller. Nice and silent environment around.”

“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!”

“Thanks Rohith (Indian Aroma) for the awesome food service you provided for my little princess birthday party. The food was so tasty that it dominated everything else at the party and everyone loved the dishes. We were surprised to see people voluntarily taking home the extra food and glad to say not even a small piece went to waste. I am extremely delighted with the quality of food and the professionalism that Rohith demonstrated during this event, he was very humble and polite through out and despite of his extremely busy schedule he took the time to answer all our queries and accommodate all the changes even during the last few days of the event. Thanks again for making this the most memorable day for my family. Being a critic and foodie, I strongly recommend Indian aroma for any event catering requirements without second thought. With love Bala, Shruthi and Anya”

“This is my all time favourite Indian restaurant. The food is always delicious, the staff are lovely and there's a cute atmosphere inside. Fully recommend the mango lassi and the chicken tikka dakeshwari. The staff give great recommendations if you ask!”

“This is a really good pizza take away option - however not the typical Italian style. They are different in their offering and while I was sceptical of the curry base pizzas, they actually work! These pizzas provide a good hit of spice and flavoursome toppings. The quality overall was very good. They gave me a portion of complementary wings - these were very very good. In fact, the kids enjoyed them more than the pizza. The menu is huge and I’ve only sampled two pizzas and a portion of wings. Based on these items alone, I was really impressed with this place.”

“Fantastic dining experience, authentic Indian flavours with a twist. Service was second to none. Great wine list.”

“We travel from Sawbridgeworth to eat here, love this place, lovely food, excellent service, love the background music - nothing negative to say about this restaurant.”

“Come here regularly and it is by far the best Indian in the area. The staff are attentive and friendly, always a good atmosphere and the food is some of the best I’ve had. The Karma Sutra is nothing like I’ve had anywhere else and the lamb in the dish was amazingly tender. I cannot wait for my next visit!”

“Absolutely delicious food, we are particularly huge fans of all of the hot lamb dishes, Naga and Chilli Fry are our favourites, the chef is amazing!
