Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the Punjabi lamb kadai, one describing it as cooked to perfection and another noting the generous portion of lamb. Butter chicken comes close behind, called beyond perfect, and reviewers also praise the mixed grill, rumali roti, fish and a run of starters that a regular calls consistently very good, some superb. Service draws repeated warmth, with staff described as welcoming and attentive, checking back on tables for more drinks or food, and a few mention clean tables and toilets and a beautifully decorated room. The main caveat is heat and consistency. One diner found the food not spicy at all and had to order fresh green chillies, and thought the tandoori chicken lacked flavour, wishing staff asked about spice preference. A regular finds one or two curries average and suggests sticking to the starters. Others describe events held here, including an engagement celebration with a cake-cutting, two chosen desserts and the couple's own music.

“Regular visitor. Curries are good one or two average. . Their starters however… I genuinely don’t think there is anything that is not very good, and some franky superb. Explosion of flavours! I would recommend sticking to them personally. Good service and good atmosphere.”

“If there were ever a place that could turn a simple meal into an unforgettable celebration of flavor, it would be Dhamaka Restaurant in Ickenham. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted not just with warmth, but with an atmosphere that feels like a joyful tribute to the richness of Indian culinary tradition. The menu is nothing short of a masterpiece. Each dish arrives like a work of art—vibrant, aromatic, and crafted with a level of care that borders on devotion. The spices don’t just complement the food; they tell a story. Every bite unfolds layers of depth and character, from the bold, fiery notes of expertly balanced curries to the delicate, comforting warmth of perfectly baked breads. What truly sets Dhamaka apart is its fearless authenticity paired with refined execution. The chefs clearly understand the soul of Indian cuisine, yet they elevate it with precision and flair. Whether it’s a classic butter chicken that melts effortlessly or a vegetarian dish bursting with freshness and complexity, everything feels intentional and unforgettable. The service matches the brilliance of the food. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff guide you through the experience with genuine enthusiasm, making you feel less like a customer and more like a welcomed guest. It’s also become our whole family’s go-to place—whether it’s a casual dinner, a celebration, or simply a craving for something exceptional, Dhamaka never disappoints. Dining here isn’t just eating—it’s an experience that brings people together and lingers long after the last bite. Dhamaka doesn’t just serve food; it delivers a dazzling explosion of taste, culture, and passion that sets a new standard for what Indian dining can be.”

“Dined in on a Sunday evening. From start to finish the experience was exceptional. Atmosphere is very calming and has a sophisticated look. The service was remarkable, the staff were always checking up on our table to see if we needed any more drinks or food. The food was extremely tasty, the presentation was amazing and it was cooked to perfection especially the punjabi lamb Kadai. We ordered a variety of starters aswell and couldn’t fault any of them. 10/10 experience would highly recommend. Perfect for a family gathering like a birthday dinner or even a nice dinner date.”
