After talking with the host I found out he was from the US, Arizona to be exact which was pretty cool considering he did have a slight accent. I later found out that he had lived in the UK for about 10, reason for the accent I guess. Now onto the food. I ordered a few appetizers to begin with. I order chicken somosa, fish tikka, and a kebab (which the host gave us complimentary). Not one thing didn't take good, so much so I ordered somosa's to go. From there my main course came. I had butter chicken with rice, boy was it good. I've had Indian food many times before but this one was on a whole other level. The chicken was tender and full of flavor and the rice was super fluffy. All in all great, and the next time I want Indian food here in the UK this will be my go too.

CHECK RECEIPTS FOR ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES…read more. I have been a frequent customer of this restaurant for a long time, and I have noticed that their service is consistently poor. Today, I discovered that they have been charging a service charge on my receipts, despite the fact that this is illegal for restaurants and hotels. When I brought this up with the staff, they became defensive and thought that I was arguing with them. However, the receipt clearly states that the service charge is optional, which suggests that the restaurant is engaging in some illegal activity intentionally. I would advise anyone considering dining at this restaurant to check their receipts carefully and be wary of any additional charges.

Methi ghost very little ghost but no taste of methi also. Out of 4 persons , three got diarrhoea immediately and the fourth got in 12 hours time may be he was having Indian digestive system. Kitchen door was open half and one could see floor with pool of water. Council should do uninvited inspection asap.

We had a party of 40 for my sister's 18th birthday in Mirch Masala Norbury on Saturday evening…read more Table booked and price agreed for 5pm to 8pm. Why were we told at 7pm that we had to leave in the next 20 minutes? Manager claimed to have a big party booked for 8pm but they did not show up. He alternately claimed our "curfew" was 7pm, then 8pm then bizarrely 730pm. Clown. Strange to be so averse to business in these times but there you go. Food was brilliant when this place first opened, got preditably generic in more recent times but to be fair was very good on saturday. However I cannot in good conscience praise an establishment that was so openly rude to my fam - go and enjoy a kebab roll and some starters by all means but don't trust these clowns with anything important they don't appreciate or deserve that level of custom.

I discovered Lahore Karahi through Reddit and let me say that this was hands down one of the best…read morerestaurants my wife and I have dined at in a very long time. We ordered their: Nihari, Chicken Biryani, Keema Naan, and one other dish I can't remember. Everything was PHENOMENAL! Every dish and bite was just absolutely loaded with spices, aromatics, and flavor. Seriously, it was so good my wife and I ordered another keema naan. The 3 sauces they drop off with the naan were so addicting too. I could eat them alone. There was a little accident during our meal though that involved a spill and some stains on my and my wife's clothes/shoes, but stuff happens and they did right by us. Excellent service and even better food. My only complaint is that my wife and I didn't come back a 2nd time before going home :(

I haven't dine in inside so I have no idea about the ambiance but the food is great so I will eat it under a bridge if I have to. 4.1/5 definitely recommend!

Not being a local, it's hard to decide between the many curry restaurants lining Upper Tooting…read moreRoad. So I took note of an award given to Spice Village on its window saying it was the favourite curry house of the locals. Not sure though about a picture of the local MP eating here with the stock of MPs being at a historic low. It feels like a family restaurant with a lot of functional tables in the dining area and in common with most of the Upper Tooting restaurants, an open kitchen. I loved watching the chef make my roti in the tandoor oven. A bad start as they didn't have onion bhajis, my first choice starter and the mango lassi tasted artificial, possibly from a bottle. However, the methi gosht had nice spicing - fenugreek I think being the predominant flavour - and the lamb was tender. The roti was light and a good foil. 3.5 stars but not quite enough to tip it into 4 stars at the moment.

Came here with some friends who used to live in the area and knew the best local joints. They told…read moreme about this place and that it was great value, had tasty food all in a simple location. They were right, except about the location. Since my friends have last been there they have totally renovated the place and now It's a stunningly fancy setting with long couches for seats, multiple chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and an intimate vibe. Don't be too intimidated though, you won't need a shirt and tie. Service was fast and efficient. Expect a wait if you don't make a reservation, so try to phone ahead. I ordered the peshwari naan which is sweet and stuffed with cream and a cocoon filling. It's really a meal on it's own, but I had it with the lamb korma, which was fantastic. It was served piping hot, and was deliciously sweet and nutty. Even with the fancy decor, prices are still reasonable with Nann between £2-3 and the dishes from £7 and up. My korma was £9. I look forward to returning and would recommend the place for anyone who would like a nice curry in a nice setting.

It's always daunting when you move to a new area, trying to work out which takeaways and…read morerestaurants are worth a visit, so I was delighted to find Palace Spice on the second attempt at ordering a curry in Crystal Palace. The food isn't at all greasy like you can sometimes find with Indian food, and from my experience that portions are very generous with a lot of meat in the meat dishes. We tend to order a mixture of dishes and sides so that everyone can share and experience as many different flavours as possible. That being said, we seem to have settled on a few set dishes now: The Chicken Manchurian, a very sweet mango chicken and prawn rice, saag aloo, with a garlic naan. If you put that order in, they'd be surprised it wasn't me ordering. As for the staff, they are incredibly friendly, always greeting me with a handshake and a smile. They remember me and what I've been up to, although thinking about it, that probably is a sign that I eat there too much! So to summarize, the food is sublime, the service is excellent and I would thoughly recommend it to anyone.
