Jai Shri Krishna

Lunch today with my Rajasthani meditator friend who guided our choices: we focused on the south Indian offerings and had delicious, authentic food. I had Patra for the first time, fried here rather than steamed, and LOVED it. Also Dokra and Idly Sambar. We also had the Benghan Bhartha from the more north Indian part of the menu .... sooooooo good. The coriander based sauce served with a few of the dishes was also to die for. Atmosphere is basic and the price is right (£25 for all that). Be careful of lunch hours ... kitchen closes at 2 pm so get here early!

I've been a regular here for several years and love the food. The service is pretty terrible (there's one younger waiter who's much better but he's not always there) but the delicious food and very low prices make it worth overlooking that - I just choose to be amused by it rather than annoyed. Other reviewers are also not being unfair when they say the place is shabby and occasionally sticky in places... But again, all worth putting up with for the great food and amazing value for money. If it really bothers you there's always the take-away option (no delivery). Some of my favourite dishes: kachori (my sister loves the kachori chaat), patra, mixed veg bhajia, masala dosa, uthappam, chana masala, rajma paneer, green beans curry...

Love this place. Not that often you can get thoroughly stuffed with really tasty food for next to nothing. You can feed four people for the price of one in most other restaurants. Premises are basic but that's a fair trade off for the price. Will continue to go back here and exhaust the extensive menu. If you want a drink it's BYOB and they charge a small corkage fee. Can't recommend it enough. Very nice staff.

One of the most authentic Indian restaurants I've experienced outside of India. They food is simple but delicious and the prices are extraordinarily low. Don't expect a fancy restaurant and decor, it's super simple but that's the real Indian experience and you can tell the food is made with love. If you want amazing food and like very good value and don't mind a simple looking restaurant, you can't beat it.

The staff were very helpful, telling me everything on the menu that was vegan friendly. Also the food is amazing every time, service is quick and friendly, price is FANTASTIC. BYOB is also useful as drinks are usually so expensive at restaurants. Generally lovely place to go. Thanks for your vegan options!!
