    I am from the US and heard that the Indian food in London is spectacular, so I had to give it a try while I was visiting! I would have to say that Indian food is one of my favorites, so I was going into this experience with high expectations. The place had your average shop-type restaurant atmosphere, nothing special, but I always prioritize food quality over the atmosphere anyways. I ordered the butter chicken and chicken samosas and my friend (a London native), who has never tried Indian food before, ordered the butter chicken and vegetable samosas. We both got naan as a side. The food came out quickly! We were extremely hungry so this was a pleasant surprise. What was even better was the food. The samosas tasted less fatty than the ones I have had back in the US, but still delicious and flavorful all the same. The butter chicken was creamy and wonderful as well. There was less chicken in there and more sauce, which was a bit problematic because we ordered naan as our side dish - we had a lot of leftover sauce. I would definitely recommend giving it a go, but get rice so you can eat it all up! The only thing was that they were a bit pushy with asking us to leave at the end. They cleared our table and that was fine, but the waiter also came back and took away our waters before asking if we were done. He explained as he was taking the waters that they were closing, and it might have just been miscommunication on our ends, but we did read online that they were open until 11 and it was only 10:30 when I checked the clock. Regardless, I would still 100% recommend!

    Chicken vindaloo

    Cheap but good, that's it in a nutshell! £5.25 for chicken vindaloo, just the right amount of spiciness: hot without going overboard. And taste & texture was close to perfect. Rice was rather normal, naan quite good. All in all not perfect but very good, especially for this price. Place itself is not luxurious in any way but not run down or dirty either. So perfectly ok for lunch but not a place for romantic dinner as such... Service was quick and rather friendly

    Good Indian

    I do not eat a lot of Indian food, but I thought this was very good. I had the Chicken Vindaloo, menu says it's VERY HOT, it was spicy, and I like spicy, but don't be intimidated by the warning. Enjoy.

    spicy chicken vindaloo! mmmm!!

    The chicken tikka masala was a 10/10. Great food and very cheap prices. Would recommend to anyone looking for good Indian cuisine.

    Absolutely delicious dinner!…read more We made reservations online about 2 months ago. 5:15 dinner worked well for us since we had a show at 7. We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai. Beer came with a frosted glass. The chai was delicious! The food was amazing! Goan monkfish curry Ruby chicken Saffron cauliflower Garlic naan Basmati rice Everything was superb!

Dishoom chicken tikka (14.9): NOT tikka masala! We were between this and the chicken ruby but were told it's just like butter chicken and were recommended this-- the highlight, chicken flavorful and tender, and I liked the pickled sides House black daal (11.7): their signature dish-- decent, pretty heavy and filling but nothing to sing about Roomali Roti (5.5): we were going to get the garlic naan, but the waiter said that's something you can get anywhere so we got the roti which he recommended-- however, this completely lacked flavor. I've had better roti in Malaysia and in the US lol Garlic naan (5.5): we ultimately got this because we didn't like the roti, but this also the garlic flavor was not shining through Other recommended dishes: chicken berry britannia with raita, charred lamb chops, murgh malai, okra fries Tip: you have to buy the rice, naan etc separately. Also heads up there's a 12.5% service charge.

I returned the next night with a colleague to try the Paneer Butter Masala and Murg Chicken Masala. A few days later I was back for the third time with two more colleagues where we each ordered Butter Chicken as well as the Murg Chicken Masala and Lamb Rogan Josh. I genuinely don't enjoy lamb but tried a small bite which was super tender and full of flavor. We also had Pappadum which were crispy and perfectly seasoned and came with some delicious condiments that also paired nicely with the samosas. Overall excellent and I will be back when I visit London again.

We started with the Tiltala Jhinga, which was absolutely incredible, followed by the Onion Bhaji, which was delicious--especially with the mango chutney. For my main course, I ordered the Murg Tikka Masala, and it was outstanding. It was rich, creamy, full of flavor, and not spicy at all, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Just keep in mind that rice and naan are ordered separately, but the garlic naan was hands down the best I've ever had--soft, buttery, and packed with garlic. My husband ordered the Lamb Angara, and while he really enjoyed it, I have to admit I thought my Tikka Masala was even better. If you're in the mood for something lighter, I also recommend the avocado salad. The simple olive oil and lemon (or vinegar) dressing was fresh and refreshing, making it a great addition to the meal. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided great customer service throughout our visit. We were also able to walk in without a reservation and were seated immediately. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and would definitely return. 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.
