All the dishes are good, I always like the Chicken Tikka, the Lamb Tikka (Boti Kabab, again a "dry" dish) is also excellent. These are both tasty, extremely mild - though I like spicy food (try a Jalfrezi) - and not over violently red as in some places. Plenty of vegetarian dishes like most Indian Restaurants. Known and named for its Tandoori dishes.

There is no real reason to like this restaurant in a sea of really good Indian food in this area…read more Flavors were either missing, too salty, or just plain cooked in the wrong way. I have had excellent Indian food in small towns and this one is no where near the quality/taste it should be. We ordered a variety of dishes (goat, byrani, butter chicken, etc) and everything we ate was so underwhelming. Service was good. Prices on th higher side of reasonable for what you get. Good naan.

Stepping into Masala Zone is like entering the taste buds of India. The cuisine here is proper…read moreIndian, not that trendy stuff that Westerners usually buy into. I came to this place with two of my friends from Delhi and they were explaining the origin of the food before me: what region it came from, the cultural reasons behind the use of those particular ingredients. It was like an Indian food seminar. The waiters and waitresses were just as knowledgeable as my Indian dining companions. The whole experience was a festival of learning. Their food is delicious. They serve platters with all kinds of yoghurts, nans and house specialties. I got the smallest platter thinking that I could devour it whole in a matter of milliseconds, but surprisingly it was very filling. My other friends who got the larger platter couldn't finish their meal. The place is cheap as well (I spent £11 for my platter and a cold beer), so I would definitely suggest going if you have severe Indian food hankerings.

Masala Zone is one of my guilty pleasures and one of very few companies I ever use for Friday night…read moretakeaways ... they offer particularly good value when really hungry. However, my most recent visit to an actual branch proved that Masala Zone is not a good option if you just fancy a light meal. The streetfood starters seem like a good choice but I've actually tried most of them before and they tend to be on the greasy side. Having been lucky to get an outdoors table on the patio out front (overlooking traffic, but still ...) we decided to leave without ordering. Sushi across the road was the answer on this occasion. The upmarket chains (Wagamama, Dishoom, Busaba Ethai et al) all seem to employ the same interior designers, this branch of Masala Zone was dimly lit with dark tables - very pleasant but formulaic.

My bf and I order a lot of Indian in SF and both agreed this was some of the best Indian wed had in a long time. The monkfish was the highlight for me and spicy lamb biryani was the other highlight.

I came here with my team the other night. The first hour of our experience was pretty horrendous,…read morewith our reservation being somehow completely useless as we waited for about 30 minutes for our table. Apparently some people had been sitting at our table for far too long and they could not get them to leave. We ended up being crammed into to a far-too-small table right next to them, and I could see why. They were absolutely hammered. One girl had a cackle so loud that after she left, no joke, a few of us could hear our ears ringing. It was so bad that when they did finally leave, an hour after we got there, the entire dining room (downstairs) applauded. A round of applause for a departure! I have never heard such a thing. It was funny as hell. The servers offered up some "free" starters and drinks, but then put them on the bill afterward. Nice. The only reason my review isn't one star at this point was because I had had a better experience the first time I came here, and the food, while nothing too original, is still decent. That said, if this place is busy, I would recommend you move on and go somewhere else. You will probably suffer through poor service and no accommodation for it.

We had the vegetable korma, cauliflower bhaji and dill & mustard appetizer as takeaway…read more The cauliflower and salmon dishes were tasty, albeit very greasy. The korma was overly sweet and almost like a dessert. Overall not bad, but better could be had at nearby establishments. The service was a little weird. They did not provide any utensils with the takeaway, which seems common at South Asian restaurants in London, but this is the first place that refused to provide them when I asked. If you are going to order takeaway from here, make sure you have forks and spoons handy.

Given their namesake, you'd expect them to have some great Goan dishes and as I was going with some Indian friends, I had high expectations. Yet the moment you open the menu you start to lose hope. There's just a list of normal non-Goan dishes. Only when you hit page 3/4 do you see a small selection of Goan dishes. I decided to try the pumpkin curry, supposedly a Goan speciality. Undercooked pumpkin and a bland sauce. "Mmmmmm...tasty" this was not! My Indian friends weren't happy with their food either - so this isn't just a review by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about! Price wise, the meal was quite cheap, and I guess in this instant you get what you pay for! In conclusion - spend your money elsewhere.

Am thinking ideally 3.25 or 3.5 stars but not quite a four so giving it three. The service was a better experience in that when I requested some chutneys and salad it wasn't a problem whereas in the Heston Branch it's an issue although they have one very helpful charming member of the team there. The plain parathas were ok though a little unevenly cooked so finished them off under the grill at home, the stuffed aloo (potato) paratha could have done with a bit more filling. The bathura (fried bread) was the best of the breads and the makki ki roti (made with cornflower) the second best though this is more of an acquired taste. Would I visit again, yes I would.

Delhi Wala is an Indian restaurant on the high street of Whitton which caters to vegetarians although everyone is welcome. As I looked through the menu, I couldn't decide on what I wanted to order as they have an endless list of options. Luckily, I was with a friend originally from India and she could guide me! In none technical terms, I had their lentils, cauliflower main, cottage cheese dish and some other sides such as the cheesy garlic naan and some samosas which were all very tasty. I really enjoyed the cottage cheese dish, love it! Unfortunately, I had visited a PanIndian restaurant two weeks before and it really raised the bar for me so I'll give Delhi Wala 4/5 stars. Nevertheless, I would go back as it is close to home, inexpensive and tasty.

Only had Kingfisher on draught so not brilliant. The menu was interesting and varied - so much so that I saw venison for the first time and so had to have it!

Overall cost for 2 for whole meal was £30, shared starter, main and a pint of beer each, so reasonable.
