Well presented and delicious food, lovely staff. Very enjoyable atmosphere at this cool looking place. Some dishes only available for take out but the choice is good enough for a repeated visit in person. A few typical vegetarian options complete the menu.

Been here two times last month. Food, service and atmosphere is excellent. Way better than most Indian restaurants in London I’ve been to. There’s a home cooked / authentic feeling to the food not easily found. Keralan style prawns and biryani are especially noteworthy. I’ll be back!

If we were to define Chapati Club by a common idiom, it would have to be: "Appearances can be deceiving."

We have no qualms in admitting that the food we had on the evening, in comparison to our initial impressions based on both the simple decor and the succinct and straightforward menu, definitely exceeded our expectations.

There's nothing pretentious about this place; and yet, the dishes we received were, by and large, quite superb, with a kitchen fully cognizant of the use of Indian spices via-à-vis balance and harmony.

We will add, however, that while all "dishes are medium spice level", those used to their chilli may want to request cranking up the heat.

Our only criticism would be of Chapati Club's dessert menu, or lack thereof, which, for the moment, comes across as a lazy afterthought more than anything else. If they can manage to bring in some quality Indian desserts, it would complete an otherwise impressive setup, and propel a rating for 4 to something closer to 4.5.

Menu Recommendation
Drink - Sweet Lassi
Starter - Kerala Prawns

Incredible food, such kind and welcoming hosts and all round great vibes. Had our first visit tonight and we’ve already booked for another, was so good! Highly recommend the black dahl. Reminded me of my grand mother’s cooking. A must visit!

Poor experience on my first and last visit. Unfriendly welcome, two of the 3 staff just gawped at me from the counter, the coldest welcome ever, I did mention it!
The Butter chicken appeared to be a child’s portion and tasted mainly of Heinz tomato soup
The Veggie curry was a handful of frozen vegetables, Co-op style, and was lacking in sauce and flavour the lamb was ok and nothing more. Both meat dishes were disconnected with the sauce
Also the garlic naan was overwhelming and overpowering
A strange stab at Indian food

As for your mainly glowing reviews. Close the windows on this nonsense I doubt their validity. The fact this ‘business’ answers NONE of their reviews confirms this. You’re on borrowed time……Enjoy
Ps. Your reposte confirms my thoughts. Losers!
Hopefully the 730 people that saw my review will swerve you and eat elsewhere

Gorgeous, small, independent, friendly restaurant serving INCREDIBLE food: we'd been urged to visit and our expectations were exceeded! We had Chicken G and Acton Railway Lamb, and both were rich, moreish and had incredible depth of flavour. Well worth a trip if you're not lucky enough to be local!

Currently sitting on a table at Chapati Club and I honestly couldn’t wait to leave a review! Such an incredible experience; the vibe of the place, the service, the food!! From the drinks, to their incredible chapatis, the Chapati Club crew did not disappoint tonight and certainly gained a few additional loyal customers!
