Paradise Hampstead Indian

Came for my girlfriends birthday by chance, and mainly to try the arctic monkeys dish, only to be incredibly wowed by both the impeccable service and accompanying food. Haven’t had such an enjoyable food experience in a very long time. Staff were observant and helpful, including a complimentary night cap from the manager! Will visit again.

This is a such a wonderful restaurant where the friendly, caring warmth of the service provided is only better by the generous plates of delicious food prepared in the kitchen! I´m still grinning ear to ear the morning after my husband´s & my fantastic dinner there last night. The prawn puri is a delight, the chick peas, extra spicy on request a joy, and the whole trout on the bone is a dish that can´t be bettered; it´s fabulous. Thank you so much to all involved, you can be sure that we won´t leave it so long before dinners in Paradise the next time. love Catherine, 28.7.23

I'm 47 and have been coming to this restaurant for over 40 years. The food is fantastic. The family who own it were some of the only other brown people we knew in the area when i was young and they have been kind to us whenever we come. From my parents to me to my kids now. Really love this place and most importantly the food tastes amazing.

I would’ve taken more photos if we didn’t just dive into this incredibly delicious meal. Wow!! What a good experience at the gates of Hampstead Heath! If you like Indian food, Paradise should be on top of the list when you come to London. You may even spot a celebrity, like we did, dining next to you.

Hubby and I came here for dinner just the other day. We were lucky to get a spot outside; we didn't make a reservation, but I would recommend making one as the place was packed. The service was quick, and helpful. Our server did help us with portion size; we would have definitely over ordered otherwise. We ordered the arctic murg, shah jahan biryani, paneer makkhani, and the garlic naan. Our favorite was the biryani and the paneer. The arctic murg was a spicy version of the butter chicken. It was spicy and flavourful, but the chicken was a bit dry. The garlic naan here is thicker and more bread like then I prefer, I like my naan chewier. The biryani was super tasty and came with a side of vegetable curry. I'm usually not a big fan of lamb, but they did a good job with it, and it didn't taste super gamey. The paneer was a nice contrast to the spicy bitter chicken we had. After finishing our meal, we were offered fresh mint tea on the house! It was a lovely way to end the evening. We enjoyed this place and will likely be back.
