It's always full to the brim in here, so it's best to book well in advance. The place plays host to all of the local celebrities (by 'all' I mean about 2), and has been critically acclaimed by the Observer. It's a definite hotspot in SE London. The food is perfectly cooked. I have eaten here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Of course, they have all of the greats that usually appear on an Indian starter menu - bhajis, samosas, dhal, and who could forget the popadoms served with home made pickles. Try not to fill up on them before the mains - a rookie mistake made in all good restaurants. The paneer tandoori is delicious, almost so delicious that you forget about the guilt you would usually feel if you were eating a plate of grilled cheese elsewhere. Slightly different to the usual curry houses, here you pick your main meat/veg and then choose from the list how you would like it to be cooked. It's great for those who are particular about their curry! Tandoori Nights is a classy, stylish and sophisticated Indian restaurant, well deserving of its food awards. The prices do reflect the quality of the food meaning it's not necessarily cheap, but if it's good food you're after then this is the place to head to. Just book early to avoid disappointment!

Tandoori Nights is a welcome change to much of the Indian food I've had in London: Light,…read morewell-prepared food, great service, open late and excellent prices. The key difference here is the wonderful absence of excessive oil in the curry: too often food at Indian restaurants can be too heavy, caused by excessive amounts of oil/butter being added to fill out the curry. Here, that's nowhere to be seen, allowing you to enjoy the array of flavours in the curry and fill up on the generous servings of rice instead. The beer served is the usual Kingfisher. Desserts are pre-prepared ice-cream dishes, which my friend and I declined. Overall, comfortably above-average.

The food was very good and reasonably priced. We particularly appreciated it all being served hot, together with warm plates, a basic touch often overlooked. The decor was contemporary and comfortable. In summary, they know what they're doing, and they're doing it well - this is my new favourite Indian restaurant.

First and foremost, the food is fantastic, a real cut above the rest. The Dansak dishes are outstanding but so is everything else I've tried too, including most of the appetizers, curries and breads, both for eat-in and as as a takeaway. The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating and the service, decor and ambiance are excellent. A bit more expensive than the average, but well worth it - you get what you pay for, after all. Highly recommended. I'm just disappointed I don't get to eat there more often.

She has celebrated birthdays and anniversaries and out of town visitors at New Dewaniam while frequently ordering here for comfort food over the past year. I finally got to go here when visiting my daughter and really love the food and service and general ambiance. The place is deceptively larger than it seems from the high road entrance. Only later when we exited did I see the larger side entrance on Wyndham Rd. Ahmed is our favorite server. This guy hustles and is super accommodating. He is nice, funny and knowledgeable. Give him a raise please. With the 5 of us at this dinner we ordered a bevy of items including vegetable samosas, Bombay Aloo, Chicken Jalfrizi, among many others. I tasted most of them and they were delicious. Along with a few drinks, this made quite an enjoyable evening. I highly recommend trying New Dewaniam.

From what I know of traditional South Indian cooking, it also was pretty authentic. From many Indian dining experiences in San Francisco and Los Angeles, where Indian is quite standard, I'd say this compares with what I'm used to in terms of deliciousness :) I liked the interior, which felt both trendy and laid-back at the same time. The location's nice, right near the Peckham Rye station. Service was friendly and I was given extra hot peppers to accompany my meal at no extra cost. The only drawback, for me, are the prices, which seem to be on the high side. Of course, since we aren't in Kerala, we can't get an entire, delicious, gigantic meal for under £5. We're in London, so prices are higher. But this place would be more of a gem if it's prices were a little more appealing.

I heard eating here used to be only for hotel guests but decided to open it for those seeking great Indian food. I have to say, I was initially uncertain about coming at this establishment especially being situated inside a hostel. However, I'm glad we took the risk as this was one of the best Indian foods I've ever had! Made it out for dinner which was no more than £10. Pay up at the concierge, give your ticket to the chef, and get ready to pile up your plate with greatness. Food here is served buffet-style but I'm not fairly sure if anyone could even go back for seconds. Dishes usually come with Basmati rice, vegetables, dal and naan bread. They also offer deserts-ice cream in our case- and coffee which was a nice way to end our meal. Overall, Indian YMCA is a great place whether you're on a budget or in need of delicious Indian food. Not sure if I'd actually stay at the hostel, but you'll definitely see me here eating next time I'm in London.
