Wah Ji Wah

I go to a lot of Indian restaurants, and this was up there as one of the best. It’s a small independent place with good service and not your average range of dishes. We had some traditional street food for starters followed by a couple of mains with coconut rice, and really delicious fresh naans! Perfect.

Incredible food in a small but nicely decorated restaurant. Service was quick to start but I could tell the two waiters running the whole restaurant were struggling to keep up, not their fault. I'd definitely visit again and it was refreshing to finally get a curry where if you ask for it to be hot and spicy it actually is (Madras) We were in and out with two of us in 45 minutes, you can see the kitchen from the restaurant also, it's nice to watch your food be prepared. Cocktails on offer are great also. Poppadoms, two mains, two sides, rice and naan with a cocktail each between 2 came to £67 Inc the 10% service charge. Very reasonable. Only regret is not taking photos of the food!

Time: Saturday pm. Order:samosa chaat / chicken wah ji wah / dum ki biryani with Prawn. Service and armosphere are excellent. The dishes are delicious. Samosa slightly hot and biryani needs more cooking as the rice was not done yet. Though the prawns were fresh. Next time, I might order the murg tikka masala because the garcon recommended it.

Visited here for Saturday night dinner and it was crowded. Even after booking appointment, there was a wait for 15-20 mins and also there was not much space for waiting area. Staff was not able to attend people waiting. Also staff could be more welcoming and attentive. We got a table near kitchen and heard chef telling staff to serve our dishes before those get cold. So dishes were ready but they was delay in serving. Food quality was good and enough options for both veg and non-veg. Quantity wise starters were in lesser quantity like you get 3 pieces in Paneer Tikka and 2 pieces in Kabab. So order accordingly. Mango lassi was also good but Lemonade was bottle but I was expecting fresh one.

We came here by chance as we had reservations elsewhere but the fire alarm was going off for 30mins and we were starving. We did have to wait outside for 10minutes and then also move tables when a bigger group came in as it was a busy Saturday night but honestly we didn't mind as they seated us last minute. We are SO glad we came here instead - the food was out of this world, the chef was so welcoming and helpful, we are both vegans and they have a dedicated vegan/veggie menu and honestly it was some of the best food I've ever eaten. He even took our orders personally because the wait staff were so busy, so we never waited too long for a drink or our food. The Vegan Chicken Pepper Fried starter is made with the chef's own Seitan and I can't recommend enough - if you like good food, great Indian food, amazing vegan food or just the best onion Bhajis you've ever had, hit this place up. The ONLY criticism is that it took 15/20 minutes to pay because they were so busy, but that's such a small thing it was barely worth mentioning.
