The place was packed and luckily, our table was in a semi-private space with two other tables. The main room seemed a bit cramped. There was definitely a hustle and bustle vibe to this restaurant. As for food, my friend and I split the chicken 65 and a chicken biryani. The main reason I chose this spot was for the pot-pie style crust on their biryanis and boy was it a flakey crust! The chicken 65 was tender and had a nice warm spice. The biryani was good and filling. Quite average IMO, but satisfying nonetheless. The flavors were quite mild and the rice was nicely cooked and piping hot under the flakey crust.

I've had Biryani a bunch in India and never seen anything like the pie crust on the top that they do, so I'm assuming that's a cool anglifying twist - the crust was nice and went well with the sauces on the side. Service was pleasant and food came pretty quick, but it did take a few tables a long time to flag them down for the check.

There seemed to be regulars dining in and really enjoying the food which seemed like a positive. I wasn't feeling very adventurous so ordered the chef specialty dish of butter chicken with saffron pulao rice and garlic naan. The rice and garlic naan were separate. The chicken is cooked in the tandoor and you can really taste the smokeyness it adds to it. I enjoyed the dish very much, although it was a bit sweeter than what I'm used to. The garlic naan was delicious! Also a pleasant surprise was what I believe to be a large puffed rice cracker/cake and mint parsley chutney that was added in complimentary! Would recommend stopping in.

True rating: 3.5/5…read more We had heard Indian food in London is amazing, but the food here was a little underwhelming. Rajdoot was just average, slightly on the blander side (unclear if it was just our experience). We got the malai chicken tikka masala based on the recommendation of our server (was creamy, made with almonds; it felt like something was missing not the normal tomatoey tang) and the saag paneer (we asked to turn the side into an entree). Both were nice but somehow missing something, not as good as we have had in the US (surprisingly we have a lot of amazing Indian and Nepali restaurants in our area back home). Rice was nice and flavorful. Note though you only get 1 plate of rice with your entree, even if you level up a side dish to entree size. Ambiance: a little small space (as this is London), they have a TV playing overhead Service: They were nice and gave a little warmed hand wipe and hazelnut chocolate when we left.

Ours had a random £15.75 added on in the middle of our string of main dishes. We hadn't noticed until we had already gotten back to our hotel, but seems a little suspect. This is the second time this has happened, once in another restaurant. Is this becoming a "London" thing? Also note their prices for beer and sodas published on their web menu vs what is on their physical menu in the restaurant. It's twice the amount in the restaurant for Kingfisher draft and for sodas.

They were extremely considerate of our group's many dietary restrictions. And they have a very easy online booking system for group meals, where a large group dinner menu is selected by default but you can easily replace individual dishes. Not only was the preparation great, the execution was excellent. The whole evening was seamless and I felt like Nitesh or the other staff member were constantly just a wave away. The food was all excellent, and it dinner was served buffet style (while appetizers were served at the table, per our plan), clearly marked for dietary restrictions. We had a semi private space, meaning 90% private, with a TV screen and microphones for a fun presentation we did for our group. Cost came out to about £67 per person total, very reasonable. They had some nice cocktails I tried! Tropical Hurricane (£15.95) - 3.5 stars Mango Chili Caipiroska (£16.95) - 4 stars This was our menu, sadly I dont' remember individual dishes as the night was a blur, except the Baigan Bhurta!

So we did some research. Somewhere along the line we found Meraz written up as one of the 12 best Indian restaurants in England. Okay, so we trek over to the East End (pretty wild neighborhood that we enjoyed) for dinner at Meraz. My husband was disappointed not to find a particular dish on the menu, but the waiter didn't hesitate to offer to have the kitchen whip it up special for him. My husband also went a little wild ordering all sorts of appetizers and side dishes. Now I don't like to deal in hyperbole. A five star rating should be sufficient praise. But I'm going to go overboard just this once: BEST INDIAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN IN A RESTAURANT. EVER. I've eaten in Indian restaurants at home in Chicago, in L.A., New York, St.Louis, Atlanta, San Francisco, etc., etc. etc. Many have been good, but none approached this. We ate every scrap of all the food we ordered, and only because we had a tight timeline and a busy itinerary for our brief visit to London did we not go back for at least a second meal.
