I love Pilau!!…read more Indian food in London is amazing, but it gets pricey with places like Dishoom and Punjab. However, Pilau has such delicious and fresh Indian food with prices that are hard to come by in Central London. The butter chicken is absolutely amazing, and the 2 sauces (mint & coriander yogurt and mango & apricot chutney) are super flavorful and refined, and really tied the whole meal together. It is a build your own bowl style, so it's great for a quick meal as well!

I find that South Indian cuisine is a lighter and more refreshing alternative to the normal popularised high street Indian food. There was a big group of us so we got the big round table at the back end of the restaurant. We got stuck in to the Kingfisher lager straight away. We then kicked off with the vegetarian and non-vegetarian starter which consisted of deep fried large chillies, fish and prawn cakes, potato dumplings, spicy lamb and chicken. This was enough for 6 people to share and at £8.95 each was excellent value. We had the Dosa pancake with Masala which was superb, sweet pancake with fried egg and fragrant saffron rice to accompany our meal. Main courses included an excellent lamb dish cooked with fennel, fish moolah, lamb birhianie, chicken cooked in curry sauce. We also tried the excellent dried vegetable dishes such as Beetroot with Coconut and Cabbage stir fried with carrot and coconut. With copious amounts of Cobra and Kingfisher, the bill came to £20 a head which we thought was excellent considering everyone was totally full and satisfied. All in all, Cocum's Kerala menu offers some interesting dishes that are fresh in taste, light in texture and multi-layered with spices. It is a good local restaurant that I wish I lived near. I hope to be back soon.

Cocum serves Keralan food, which reminds me of home - more use of coconut and generally lighter curries. To celebrate a successful campaign this year, my hockey team descended upon Cocum for a celebratory dinner. The 2 Indians in the party gave their blessing, always a good sign when the locals are happy to recommend an ethnic restaurant. Kingfishers all round (except for teetotal me who stuck with an excellent mango lassi) For those used to regular Bangladeshi type curry houses, the dishes on offer here may be unfamiliar but the menu offers nice descriptions and the waiters are happy to make suggestions. For starters, we had masala dhosas, an Indian pancake filled with spicy potatoes. The main courses were a mish mash of different curries shared between us, all accompanied by rice and various breads. The curries were generally lighter than in other places. During the meal, we worked out short corner routines for next season though I'm doubtful how many will be remembered by September! Worth a try to see if you enjoy food from a different part of India.

This place…read moreserves up amazing food, the best king prawn vindaloo ever and I'm also a big fan of their lamb peshwari and chicken biriani. The food is delivered quickly (and you can get a free veggie curry if you pick it up yourself) and is utterly delicious. The meat in their dishes is always good quality and you get large pieces. Excellent stuff! I've tried many indian takeaways in my time and I've never found better than this, the menu has lots of different dishes to try and I've only ordered one that was less than perfect (butter chicken) and that's probably because it just wasn't to my taste.

On our last day in London, we had to squeeze in an Indian dinner. A fun fact we learned while in…read moreLondon is that there are more Indian restaurants than any others. So we had to try Indian cuisine before we left... Dishroom was on the list but due to their poor service, we came here. On the list, we tried the butter chicken, shrimp mango curry and beef ribs. They were all amazing but the shrimp curry was the best follower by the butter chicken. If they had a more mains dish options on menu, that would have been nice.

We were pretty hungry and I knew the food halls were legendary there so we checked it out. One of the staff let us know that there were different types of food and to just let the hostess know what we were in the mood for and we drifted towards the Indian food and I am so glad we did!!! We got the kefta starter, chicken biryani, and lamb korma. I also tried the lychee pomegranate mocktail which was sooo good. Every single item we ordered was so good!!! We were so full by the end of dinner we didn't even try any dessert, which I'm sure would've been phenomenal. If you can try this restaurant, please do! The staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had, so a big thank you to them!

I should say, this is not traditional indian and more fusion or modernized as you wont find many of the classic curries on the menu: Nothing wrong with that though.

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.

I left a choice of cuisine for the evening with my colleague, and I settled on choosing the best place to go. This place had some good reviews on some other websites, so we decided to try it. The restaurant is quite nice, light and has some cool water bubble decorations with light going on. We started with some poppadoms, garlic naan bread. All of those came with some sauces, that were really nice - especially lime pickle. Afterwards it was time for our mains - lamb madras for my colleague and Tawa lamb - local specialty. Medium spiced dish with herbs and lamb. The food was very tasty and well spiced, but just enough. Service was extremely attentive and waiter checked a few times, if his recommendation of Tawa dish was a good match. After getting our bill he offered a glass of some liquor, which was a nice ending to our meal. If you are ever lost on the way to London and find yourself in Uxbridge then it is definitely a very nice place for some Indian food (I am not an Indian food expert thought).

The restaurant has a…read morelovely relaxed atmosphere and although we visited on a Tuesday evening, I have no doubt it would have the same vibe on a Friday or Saturday. The staff are really attentive and the food felt like it came out promptly (hard to tell though when you start eating those papadums and can't stop until the mains arrive!) I ordered a chicken korma with rice and a saag paneer. This was the first time I tried a saag paneer and I was not disappointed; creamy cheese with spiced spinach was beautiful with my korma sauce. The main reason I have given 3 starts is because the chicken was very dry. I could only eat 2 or 3 pieces, and so did other people in the group I was with. Since I have eaten in restaurants and takeaways with such good moist chicken in a korma or other curry, this was a bit disappointing. There was a large group of 9 of us and the staff accommodated us really well as we weren't sure how many of us would turn up from the onset. They also had lovely little extras like hot towels, mint chocolate with the bill, and our bill came to £15 each including a tip. I will visit again and hopefully can improve my rating for the chicken!
