Boxwallah

In a humble setting, this beautiful place on Level 5 of Peckham Levels was literally the best curry experience I have ever had in London! I tried the Goan prawn curry and everything about it was just perfect. It is served with a good amount of rice and some pickles on the side. It was presented in a beautiful wooden bowl which added to the character of the dish, also showing the passion that has been put into making and serving food here. The owner is also very polite, attentive and kind. If you are around Peckham I highly recommend this amazing kiosk.

I would write them a poem but since I am not a poet here it goes - As someone from Dhaka, I know what authentic biriyani should taste like. For the last year, I have been sampling many of the Londons biriyanis and sadly most of them (even the big name ones) disappointed me. They were usually too bland and dry. But not Boxwallah! The first morsel of biriyani I put in my mouth took me back to Dhaka. The flavor of ghee and saffron, the juiciness of the meat, not too oily, not too spicy, just perfect chicken biriyani. 10/10 Then came the butter chicken. 10/10. Other butter chickens I tried around were too sweet with extra sugar, mostly to hide the lack of flavor. Boxwallahs butter chicken (which they cleverly named BBC), has the perfect flavor so they dont need to mask this with extra sugar. The daal tadka was average. 6/10. The mango chutney was superbly mouth-watering. The lamb tikki is nice with a splendid scent of herbs and spices. We actually started nibbling on those right after opening the box since they looked so nice. 9/10 One additional thing. We ordered home delivery. The way the food came packaged in layers reminded me of the "Boxwallahs" back home delivering lunch in the office districts. They must have put extra thought into how to package their deliveries to do justice to their name. All in all, great experience ordering from them. I do not order often but will definitely order from them in the future.

Edited: Now with five stars as I ordered it again and it WAS EVEN BETTER! They had listened to my feedback and it was completely delicious. Great service, great food. Really recommend the veg feast box. Previous review: Hugely generous portions and really good. If I was being fussy, I'd say it lacked some of the extra seasoning and herbs to give it an extra punch of flavour, but there was nothing dissatisfying about it: it was hot, filling, tasty and hit the spot! Just what you want from hearty takeaway grub.

Visited Boxwallah today, the food was absolutely amazing!! I'm quite particular about Indian food but I loved this. The flavours were awesome! The young lady who served me recommended the butter chicken and I loved it. The portion was very generous, reasonably priced and excellent customer service. I can't wait to visit again, thank you!!

This food is so good! One of my favourite Indian restaurants in London. I have tried vegeterian byriani, veg korma and butter paneer and there were all delicious! Full of flavours and portions are huge! Ordered many times and I was never disappointed. My husband tried some chicken dishes and he loved them too. Highly recommended!
