Great place to relish Halwa poori and Karachi style breakfast…read more The owner here is a warm persona and greets with a smile Makes it a point to ask if the food tasted great Yes it delicious The staff are polite and dutiful too Breakfast time Poori is undoubtedly my favorite breakfast And u can see me gorging upon poori bhaji, poori chole and halwa any time of the day. Halwa Poori chole is a famous breakfast combo which is so filling and nothing can be packed with nutrients in the morning than this breakfast. Halwa Poori Chole combination is quite a popular one and is linked with a ritual in INDIA - Kanjak! Kanjak is celebrated either on the eighth or ninth day of Navratri Kanjak used to be, and to a certain extent still is, one of many favorite festivals. Kids wake up to the sweet smel of hot halwa and fluffy pooris along with dry masala chanaa made in many households Today - tried to explore yet another place in London - famous for its Karachi fare and they USP is Halwa poori chole. Decided to relish this sinful combo and without a doubt it is delicious. The best part about Halwa poori combo - Suji halwa is just done right not too sweet has a dash of ghee and then the chickpeas (kabuli chanaa) curry is mild on spice quo but is melt in mouth one. The aloo sabzi is an added plus. Halwa Poori House - London offers various delicacies like - Halwapoori combos, irani chai, Kunna paya, lamb nihari and Haleem. Will be back soon

The man who took our order was very accommodating. I had the vegetarian okra curry with rice. I love okra and this was fabulous!

Only lately has there been an emphasis on the different areas that various Indian dishes come from. Sree Krishna has long been held to be one of the best south Indian restaurants in the capital and you can often find a happy mix of Sri Lankans and south Indians enjoying the food here. The typical south Indian starter is the dosai, a thin crispy pancake made with lentil flour with various fillings. The version here is lovely and light with a variety of spicy fillings. My sister had some vegetarian friends over for dinner tonight and we go a selection of vegetarian and meat curries. From the carnivore's point of view, the meat methi was outstanding and the chicken jalfrezi lovely. In both cases, you could taste the distinctive spice mix, with fenugreek dominating the methi and capsicum and tomato in the jalfrezi The vegetarian friends wiped up every last drop of the aloo methi, sambar, avial and bhindi bhaji curries A good spot to try some south Indian fare

I got there about ten minutes before they opened - they open at 12. After they put the sign outside, I walked in, and found a nice little well kept place, with friendly people ready to serve food. I had a tomato/bean soup, very filling, and a salad. The salad had a great rice and bean under it...the absolute best was the miso dressing! (I probably would have bought a bottle had they sold it!)

Extensive menu options to select from which, I knew from my first visit that I would be back to try out all the dishes I couldn't fit in that day. Generally not a 3 course lunch meal kinda girl but here I feel compelled to make the full selection. Gluten free conscientious restaurant but you do not really notice. Meat dishes are tender and juicy with the portion sizes of a good volume. Their drinks menu is also very extensive with cocktails, hot drinks and beers. The food menu also comes with an accompany photo sheet so you can have an idea of what you are ordering rather than just eyeing up what comes out of the kitchen. We did have to book a table on the first time we went which was around 3ish. Second time we went a little later and there was availability without having to book. Additional plus is that they take Tastecard on a Saturday which is always a bonus.

There were a few Spanish speakers in when I was in there which does add to the atmosphere. The staff do start conversations in Spanish but quickly help you out with their English, which is much better than my Spanish. "dos cervezas, por favor" Anyway they have a helpful menu which gives a good description of the food they offer. The food is genuine Venezuelan and whilst I could not see the chef I imagined her to be a small older lady. The food was very filling, we went the whole hog and went for three course. The starters all seem to be available with either chicken, beef or pork fillings/toppings. We sampled the Pastelitos and the Tostones which were very tasty. For mains we had the Arepa, which once you get used to the corn bread roll it is very tasty. We also had their national dish, Pabellon de Pollo. I think the actual traditional dish is served with beef but we got the idea. They have a good range of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. They had some interesting looking milk shakes which I will have to try another time. The food was good the service was good as was the atmosphere. I will definitely be back to sample some of the other delights on the menu. If you want to go on a Saturday best ring in advance as tables are limited!! You have been warned.

There are certain 'health shops' that look like they only offer a herbal remedy for hair loss or impotency and sometimes it's not worth it to find out. On a quick glance, this place looks very small dark and would have nothing of interest. But Planta is a wonderfully stocked alternative shop and a great addition to the area. Upon my first visit I spent quite a long time having a good old browse. From organic make-up, herbal teas and coffees, essential oils to Vegetarian, Vegan fresh and frozen food and free from alternatives. More than just Linda Mcartney but a really good selection of quick bites, staples and the good old vegetarian haggis! It's really well stocked and while a bit on the pricey side (as with any alternative health/food shops) it;s not extortionately priced. Our first trip I ended up walking away with some funky drinks out of the great selection, some Jasmine Tea, a chap stick and kale chips. Great finds. If you're looking for a particular something you're very likely to find it here. Now I've found Planta I'm sure I'll be a regular. Check it out - you wont be disappointed.

The staff were super friendly and helpful with the menu and took time to explain the specials to us. The decor feels classic American, and the food exceptional for the price point.

We ordered a broccoli and goats cheese dish for starter - it was sensational, also a wood pigeon dish which was cooked and seasoned very well. For mains we had a mackerel rillette and a steak with fries. The steak had perfectly rendered fat which was properly flamed, this gave it a nice crispy texture. Most places don't get this right. I'd most definitely return to this venue and am disappointed in myself for taking so long to visit - shame on me!

The staff are all friendly and make an effort to be polite and informative about the food. The food is not just Indian but also Nepalese so you do not have to just have the usual curry. They have offering from a clay oven also if you would rather have something not to saucey, as in the traditional tikka masalas (which they do have on offer). It location is just the wrong side of the Crystal Palace triangle but it has been there for many years now so this has not affected it to badly. It is a nice restaurant as you can always have a conversation and actually hear the other person without shouting which I always find useful. If you want to line your stomach before hitting the bars in the Crystal Palace triangle you could do a lot worse than here. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are of a good size so you should not leave there hungry. As like most restaurants of this type puddings are not their strong point but the starters and main meals make up for this in my opinion. All in all a good restaurant which I will continue to use.

I had to drag my Mrs in here. She was put off by the colourful sinage for some reason, but I just…read morehad to know. Thank goodness - Yak and Yeti has finally restored my faith in there being a half decent indian/nepalese restaurant anywhere near the Palace. We popped in on Monday early evening and were the only ones in. The service was slow and clumsy - at one point we asked the reccomendation from the waiter of which to have and if the Goan Curry was any good. The waiter scrunched up his nose and pointed to a completeley different meal and said that was better, the Goan Curry is not soo good. - You have to laugh. Despite there not being the best service in the world, the food was great. Sometimes, you can order three different things off the menu, and they all sort of taste the same, but not here. We ended up ordering the Goan Curry (plenty of fish, but a little too anaseed for my taste- not unplesant) Sagg Allo (creamy spinach and well seasoned) and a veggie curry. The veggies were not overcooked and each sauce was lovely. Especially lovely onion bajis and nann. Not oliy and sloppy but crisp and full of flavour. They even threw in a few poppadoms while we were musing over the menu (you would be surprised how many places now charge for poppadoms - it's so frustrating). Fingers crossed the take-away is as good as the sit down otherwise *shakes fists*. Yak & Yeti also seems to be sponsering local events such as the Crystal Palace Film Festival - which is also good to know it's committed to the community.
