Standard Tandoori Restaurant in Islington

Best local curry house in London! Friendly staff and always made welcome. Well priced and genuinely a great experience.

A lovely restaurant. Well recommended by many. The staff are very friendly and kind. The menu is extensive. The dishes are generously proportioned and decently priced. The restaurant is clean and cosy. Easy to find.

Great food. Excellent service. Fairly priced. Will definitely be back!

1st time back here in over 20 years. Myself & my husband were regular customers when we lived in Highbury but have moved twice since. The food is still excellent & it was quite emotional meeting the same waiter/manager who served us all them years ago plus he remembered us. Can't wait to return as we aren't that far away

Good service and good food. Nice old school curry house. Friendly staff too.

In terms of the food, in my opinion, this place is average at best really. I've eaten a lot of curries and I really wasn't blown by their food. The korma I ordered was alright but it was a bit watery. Also, their starters were totally abysmal in my opinion. I ordered some onion barges and some vegetable samosas and got given two tiny, bland tasting samosas and two flat barges that tasted like something you'd buy in Iceland. If you want a proper good curry I really wouldn't waste your time and your money eating here. I won't be visiting this place again and I certainly won't be recommending this place to my family and friends.

Decent food but unwelcome non-vegetarian extras in my order.I went here once many years ago for eat-in and it was good, so when I recently moved into the area I ordered delivery. While the food was decent, they included loads of free extras I did not ask for like bhajis (which I don't like) and salad (which was wilted and room temperature). I appreciate the gesture (maybe they did it because I tipped through Deliveroo, but this was to give them extra support during lockdown) however it's wasteful and it gives me more rubbish to dispose of. The main problem with the freebies though was that they included MEAT samosas - everything in my order was vegetarian so it never even occurred to me that they would put meat in my order. It was not very pleasant to unexpectedly bite into a mouthful of lamb and I had to get rid of it, so it went to waste.I will consider ordering from here again but only if I am able to add a note for them to not include anything I didn't ask for.

Ordered on Deliveroo and it was so delicious! Our family owns an Indian restaurant in Australia so I’m generally have high expectations of my Indian take-away and you guys smashed it! Mirchi Fish was my fave!

I’ve been here many times, don’t let the name fool you. This is a restaurant with great food, speedy service, and an overall eat-out experience that is well worth the money. 10/10

Way better than the name suggests. One of the most consistent and good restaurants I've ever visited on a regular basis. The staff are brilliant, friendly, attentive and welcoming. They maintain a respectful distance so as to not intrude or interupt your meal. However they are more than happy to approach the table and engage in conversation if you indicate you wish to do so.Personal recommendations are: Roshni chicken, lamb rogan and chicken shashlik. Their poppadoms are close to floorless.Don't let the décor fool you, this place does excellent food.
