Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the tandoori chicken and chicken tikka, with one regular calling them the best they have had, served with jeera rice and chapati. Close behind are the chicken madras, described as always delicious, and the butter naan, along with saag paneer, lamb biryani and samosas. One long-time group pre-orders a chicken liver starter that is no longer on the menu, and it arrives sizzling hot. The owner comes up repeatedly as hospitable and welcoming, remembering regulars and their orders, and one reviewer was told an unfamiliar dish could be swapped if they did not like it. Reviewers also describe the restaurant as traditional and decades old, run through the family, and mention that a famous boxer once dined there. Not everything lands: one reviewer found the parathas a touch dry and barely different from the tandoori roti, and another notes the tables sit very close together. Several say it is authentic rather than fancy, and one pair took leftovers home after a lunch of generous portions.

“This is our go to restaurant in Fitzrovia. A hidden gem. The restaurant has been in the family for years, and the owner is kind, generous and extremely welcoming. Tandoori Chicken and Saag Paneer are not to be missed.”

“Had a great lunch with a friend here. We ordered chicken tikka, lamb briyani, aubergine and potato curry, garlic naan and samosas. Portions were good and we took leftovers to go. Will definitely return again”
