I decided to try this on the way home, but I've decided I'll have to order from here more often since it is the best local Indian to me. I'm a bit of a curry expert so I know a good curry when I taste one! Well done guys. read more

Genuinely the best Indian food I've ever had in my life. We just ordered a bunch of stuff, from…read moresamosas and butter chicken to kabab and broccoli salad. Absolutely nothing we didn't love! Service was also fantastic! I noticed they're super intentional about allergies and brought out an entire tablet for my friend to cross-reference with the menu.

We started with some yummy cocktails and the okra fries which were delicious - if only okra always tasted this good. For mains, we shared the chicken tikka, black daal, paneer and garlic naan. Pretty standard Indian order. The chicken tikka was just too spicy and we weren't used to that so it went mainly eaten. My favorite was the black daal but again, it wasn't so amazing that I would go and have it again. Honestly the best dish we had was dessert - the basmati kheer is a perfect rice pudding with crème brûlée like topping. So good. Service was spotty, I constantly found myself trying to find our server or make eye contact with him. They were slammed on a Tuesday night (which I'm sure is the case every night) so that's probably just the way things are but it could've been better. Disappointed but willing to try again, also made me want to try some other Indian spots in London next.

We were here after work with a large group and the service did not meet the image it gives. Understanding our group was large but the food didn't come out coordinated. Their lamb had mentioned that there is a 25min wait.. but I would expect them to leverage appetizer time to cook it and coordinate with the rest of the meal. Two of our party got their meal as the rest of us were finishing. When we all finished dinner, we realized another one of our coworker was just getting his dinner (fish)!

If you're looking for a memorable venue for a business dinner, celebration, or group gathering, The Cinnamon Club delivers on food, service, and ambience. Highly recommended.

We were mostly nervous that it was going to be a much nicer restaurant that we were dressed for (which was very casual and sweaty after a mid-June day walking all over London), but despite the white tablecloths and general fancier feeling of the inside of the restaurant, we were not made to feel out of place. The outside and signage are more low-key/casual looking so you need to be looking for it too, Cafe Ishaq won't be jumping out at you. It was empty of customers when we entered, around 7pm, so we were seated immediately. Cold waters were ordered all around, as well as several bottles of wine to share amongst the many of us. Prices are shockingly decent, but then there is a sort of hidden service fee (a percentage of the bill) added on at the end, much like in the US when some places have an automatic tip added on for parties over a certain number of people. This was just a percentage added to every bill. Like...just make the prices what they are gonna be...that it one of the good things about Europe, that taxes are included in the price and people are paid a better wage so tipping is not often done. Still, you get generous helpings of food for the price. If I recall (I forgot to take a picture/take note of what I ordered...and we all ended up sharing everything amongst the 7 of us) I got the Saag Paneer, which is my Indian restaurant go-to because YUM. And it was yummy! I also got an order of the Keema Naan to share, which was soggy, but flavorful. We all enjoyed our meal here. The food was delicious, and we were never once rushed. Service got a little slow after food was delivered and getting our checks to pay and leave was a minor ordeal. We tried to be clear about whether and how checks would/could be split, but it did not happen correctly. It wasn't too terribly over-the-top pricey that we couldn't manage and pay each other back over the rest of the time in London. If you want low-key, unhurried, and tasty Indian food, this is a good place to get it. I am not sure I would say you should go out of your way to come here, but if you were in the area, keep it on your radar.

However, the chap manning the counter was very welcoming and we had a good chat about the new business I appreciate the effort they've made with the waiting area. Most takeaways are a little dodgy in that department but here, they've put in comfortable sofas and a TV showing Bollywood hits, which were fun to watch despite the language barrier. There was a dish of complimentary Indian snacks on the table but I declined to have any, not being sure how long it had been left out As I was dining on my own, my decision to get a takeaway from here was largely due to the fact that they offered several thalis - these are multi-course meals offering the chance to sample different dishes. In the interests of Yelp research, I settled on the deluxe thali, which still came in at a very reasonable £13.90 and I got 10% off for collecting it. They will deliver orders over £12 for free within a 3.5 mile radius There was a generous amount of food. The best part were the starters - crisp onion bhajis served with minty dip, a meat samosa which had some lovely spicing in the meat, tandoori king prawn and Mughal lamb chop. The king prawn was juicy but the lamb was a little dry - easy to do as the lamb wasn't very thick. Curry-wise, the chicken tikka masala was a tad on the sweet side but a good contrast to the more earthy chicken bhuna. The little feast was finished off with a garlic naan and pilau rice. The amount of food certainly pleased my Chinese Thrift Gene! After a nice dinner, I forgave them for taking over Roosters. Worth a re-visit

They may managed to get one dish right but then the rest are not great. I can finally say i would order from this place again! I like my curry with bread not rice and all three were delicious. We had a paratha, garlic naan and peshwari naan. If you've never had a paratha you neeeeed to check it out. its essentially a flat round pastry fried and great for dipping. this was a wholewheat one and the flavour was great. The garlic naan wasnt horrifically garlicy but with a curry does it really matter? I am not a huge coconut fan but even i enjoyed the peshwari naan. The curries we ordered were lamb tikka madala, chicken pasanda and a lamb saag. The lamb saag was great a little oily and the lamb was a little tough but it was yummy, this was also the spiciest dish we ordered however it wasnt too spicy. The chicken pasanda was also delicious, I always enjoy a pasanda not particularly spicy but the flavours are cracking, nutty and aromatic! The lamb tikka was yum and the lambs texture was great in this one and the flavour again was fab. I liked all the texture in this and would defiantly recommend it!!!

The interior is quite modern with a lot of wood and lots of light - they've certainly decided against the traditional, cliched Indian curry house look.

However, sometimes, old favourites are old favourites for a reason. Our popaddoms came with some nice condiments and the starter of onion bhaji was light and crisp. The lamb makhani was in a sauce sweetend with coconut. This was balanced with our other choice of chicken tikka dupiaza, which was more savoury. The flavours were distinct and recognisable.Worth a return visit if we come to salsa in the area again.

They have what looks to be a very nice dining room, but lack of babysitters have kept us from eating in.

We had the local beer they had and then ordered. I was tricked into ordering a vindaloo lamp with special rice and garlic nan. They order some other stuff but I couldn't make it out since it's all covers in sauces. Anyway to give my feedback on the vindaloo, to my surprise it was pretty good. Don't know why I was so skeptical. It is known as one of the spiciest curry offered in England (wasn't told that before my order). Good for me I actually like spicy- more in the Mexican realm. The sauce did cover the meet which was tendered and seem to have been slow cooked in the sauce. It wasn't spicy off the bar, but crept up on you with quite a bit of heat. The special rice had veggies and eggs in it and the nan was delicious.
