This place is absolutely fantastic! In fact, I am so glad I am writing the first review for this…read moreplace! I was out with an office colleague... and he asked me one question.. What kind of food do you want? I answered (in Hindi).. "yaar kabab khila dey please. Bohot mood hai" -- Translates to.. "dude, feed me some kababs, in mood for it".. His answer was.. "Hyderabadi Spice" That's when we got here. We got the Kabab Platter (£15.99) which consists of some amazing Lamb Chops, Chicken Malai Kababs, Sheekh Kababs, 2 Drumsticks, Fish Tikka's.. Absolutely delicious and extremely well seasoned. I have also been to a place called Tayyab's in London.. and let me tell you, Tayyabs enjoys a brand name now in addition to it's location, but honestly, it's all hyped up. Understood, that in a tipsy/drunk state, it's difficult to make it to Hyderabadi Spice.. but it's totally worth it! We also got the Lamb Biryani (£12.95) which portion-wise is perfect for 2. In fact, we couldn't finish our Biryani. It's not the best biryani I've had, but still absolutely delicious! Service wise, really good experience. Attentive and friendly staff.

If you ever have the yen to head to India, but can't quite scrape together the time or the funds…read more.. or maybe you've already been, but are in the mood to reminisce, I suggest you hop on the District Line and head to East Ham. There's a plethora of Indian stores and restaurants on the East Ham High Street (and of course, the requisite population of Asians to patronize them... if you're anything but brown, be prepared to feel like a foreign minority - I've been stopped and asked if I'm "lost"), but after you've poked around a bit, I suggest you take a right out of the East Ham Tube station and head up the street to the vegetarian Saravanaa Bhavan restaurant for a delightfully tasty and authentic Indian meal experience. What's really cool about Saravanaa Bhavan (and what makes it worth the trek) is that they serve dishes that you've never seen anywhere in your run-of-the-mill Indian restaurant... and certainly not anywhere in Central London. Visually, you're in for a surprise. There are incredible inflated pancakes, mammoth tubes of golden crepes-like things three feet long, little tin cups filled with a rainbow of curries and sauces that you've never heard of before. For a lover of Indian food, this is a veritable funhouse of new and fascinating curiosities... you will want to look and stare and ask a thousand questions, and then, order everything! They have a couple of platter options, and for a first-timer, I recommend that you get both (especially since they're unbelievably cheap) - that way you get a good sampling of everything on offer. Plus maybe order a mashed-potato-filled dosa, just for good measure. The service is okay. The atmosphere is better than what you'd expect. But the food is delicious; good quality and exceptionally well-spiced - plus you really can't trump the whole novelty factor of the cuisine. Just be warned, the locals like it too, so on a weekend night you could be in for a bit of a wait... but consider this a fantastic sign - you're dinner will be worth it.

I highly recommend the papdi chaat and a mango lassi! All the dishes we had were tasty and not as spicy as some other south Indian restaurants so a little better for those (like me) not as good with hot spice. The dosa could have done with a little more taste though but I did really enjoy it. We had two small dishes, two curries, a dosa, two naan breads, a beer and a mango lassi and it came to just over £30. Very good, especially as there was so much food we struggled to walk home! Definitely one of the best restaurants on Green Street and worth a visit for sure.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful when ordering if you are unsure. The menu is extensive and there is lots to choose from. As well as eating in or take away they do have a lot of snacks and sweets to take away too. They also do catering for events and weddings, they made the food for my wedding and everyone was very impressed. They are used to catering for hundreds and hundreds of people so they really know what they are doing. If you are ever in the area it is somewhere you should stop in to.

We usually get the whole fish cooked in spices and tomato and wrapped in banana leaf, butter chicken, pilau rice, and a trio of parathas. More than enough food for three people, and for two people, you have enough for lunch the next day. And this comes out to £29 total for two people, even with a mango lassi. Food does take a little while, but great place to sit and chat since it never gets super crowded. Pick up some desserts from one of the joints down the street!

I have now been there 3 times and loved the food all 3 times. I have tried the fried fish and beef, thali meals - both veg and non-veg, Kerala Porotta and some lassi. Everything was stellar and authentic except the lassi (which is technically not something made in Kerala). The price is amazing as well. The Thali is for just 4.5 quid if I remember right. I think they do take reservations but its never been full in the times I have gone there. The only negative point I have to say is about the toilets. This place doesn't have toilets on its premises and so when you exit through the door market 'Toilet' you are transported into the neighbouring pub (which is presumably owned by the same chaps. The first time, I felt as though I was in a scene from the matrix going int oa weird room through a door. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone from Kerala, India (like me) or if you want to try something different (and spicy). 4* (and not 5) because of the toilets.

If you like tasty food, and you enjoy eating well for not a lot of money, do visit Chennai Dosa…read more It is very much an Indian version of a caff, and the seating and service is interesting, but you can forgive them anything. Why? Because you can have a great, healthy meal for less than £5, and there's not many places that will do that in London. It's vegetarian, and although I'm not and there are non-veg options, I stick veg when I'm there, because it is so tasty. My favourite? A chilli iddly to start (a fried dumpling served with peppers, onion and chilli) followed by a Masala Dosa, all for about £4. If there was a down side to it, it is that I didn't understand what a lot of the menu items were - they are authentic. But I've enjoyed finding out.

Happy Onam! This is a Keralan restaurant on a non descript High Street in East London. However when…read moreI went today, they was celebrating the Onam festival, which made it a little bit more special with all the decorations and the small shrine in the corner. I've eaten here before but as I was looking at the menu, the waiter suggested a banana leaf curry. Being new to this I agreed, I was pleasantly surprised to see them dishing out small portions of sambals, rice and curries on a banana leaf complete with a poppadum. The food range from cold, warm, spicy, bitter, chewy, creamy, sweet and sour. Finished off with a tapoica pudding with coconut and cashews. Finally, there was a nice little banana. Being a bit deaf. The waiter did not speak a lot of english. Communication was a little skewed. However they were pleasant, as I think they were slightly amused by the lone white male, eating in an otherwise all Keralan restaurant. They offered extra rice which was gratefully accepted. I liked this place despite being slightly baffled by the exoticness of it all. But it makes a nice change from the usual generic Indian restaurant.
