The India - Best of the City

The ambience was good, the restaurant busy increased the expectation of good food. Overall it was an average experience. I being vegetarian chose vegetarian dishes and I have definitely eaten better Indian food. The papadum and the chutney's that were served for me were ok. The poppadoms size could have been bigger for the price. The nan was good, the Dal and jalfrezi from a quantity perspective less for the price that I paid. Overall an ok experience. The restaurant is quite close to canon street tube station. The toilets were not very clean and was stinking.

I am not kidding when I say this was the best Indian food I've ever had. They opened around 5pm and when we got there early to the restaurant, there was already a line waiting outside (which is a good sign that the food will be delicious!) I got the Tikki Masala and Peshwari Naan, which were both fantastic! The staff was super nice and gave us extra chocolates when we left. Overall an amazing experience with even more amazing food. My photos here aren't super great because I DUG IN to the great food before remembering to take a picture.

There’s one flight of stairs that takes you down into the bunkers which have been converted into cosy dining alcoves. We went for the set menu, and it was well worth the price. The appetizers are meat-based, and makes sense as they are the heaviest part of the meal, and each course arriving there after gets lighter and lighter. Be careful when standing up and stepping into the spaces between the tables, the waiters move quickly and efficiently as the place is often very busy. bathrooms are narrow, and well perfumed.

The India is not a Indian restaurant but more a Bangladeshi restaurant (expected in London)the hostess and manager were very helpful and accommodating, but our waiter (noor) was abrupt, and rude , he took pride in serving his colonial masters but had a distaste for his own kind (sad), that said the food was delicious, I wanted something spicy and the Bombay blast hit the spot. Five star for food !

I went in with zero expectations and left with immense joy! One of the best Indian foods I have tasted. The tandoori platter was out of this world, every bite was full of flavour and the biriyani was the star of the show. Every morsel of rice was packed with a punch of flavour and it hit every right note you’d expect.

It has been couple of days since I visited but the taste still lingers in my mouth.

Had an amazing experience dining in with colleagues. I ordered chicken tikka biryani while they ordered veg biryani and daal tarka. The taste was decent as well as the quantity. 5/5 for service. This is the first time I was served "warmed" wet tissue afterwards. Overall, it was a good experience.

It is our last night in London and we wanted something special, a short bus trip from our hotel and we were greeted by the lovely front of house lady, she took us down to our table. Once we got down the stairs we were hit by the most amazing aromas. Pompadoms for the table with nice chutneys and pickles i recommend the mixed starter for two and our mains where butter chicken with garlic nan and the mixed biriyani we only have one pic because the food and service was so good i completely forgot to take pics. Amazing treat will come again when we are in London

Thanks for the great evening

Wow what an incredible place! Firstly the asthetic is amazing and homely, you just feel like you have escaped London. Secondly all of the Food is brilliant, hands down the best Lamb I have ever tasted and so authentic!
It also came very fresh, and the service from all of the friendly staff, was exceptional!!!
To put the cherry on the cake the prices are so affordable and portions are huge - will be visiting again the next time I come, or perhaps even before I go home - it was so great!
