Zest Of India in Lambeth

Me and my wife are on holiday in Blackpool, decided to visit an Indian restraint with4.2/5 stars it’s a lie it’s 0 star. Worst Indian I have ever had, firstly me and my wife was basically ignored the whole evening just because there was a family of 8 the whole restaurant staff felt they had to serve them and ignore us they didn’t care at all about service, I wasn’t happy at all, I tried to give feedback but they wasn’t interested and the waiter was arguing with me and was telling me he was the manager 😂😂 then the boss told me don’t worry that’s not the manager most confusing and backwards situation I have ever been in, I wanted to order papadom with my drinks when the waiter came over, I asked and he replied in a rude demeaning manner “you will get when I take your whole order” (but I was starving he essentially refused to take my food order and told me I had to order altogether) not to mention there was only 4 tables seated on a Saturday night at 8pm, not busy at all, I order the takdal it was horrible, I order the Bombay aloo also horrible seeemed to me as if the potatoe they used to cook my dish was 5 days old no joke it was soggy never had that in my life, also the chicken jalfrezi we order seemed the chicken was also 5 days old, I don’t know how they hold such a high star rating but I can promise its a 1 star if you really know Indian food like me and my Punjabi wife you will not dare to visit this place the bad recommendations are REAL do not visit this horrible broke place and waste 60 pound like me.

Love this takeaway, delicious food and friendly staff very accomodating

I was very hesitant in trying here I moved from Tulse hill to Brixton 2 years ago which isn’t far but this was very close to us. When I try new curry places I get worried about wasting money on something I don’t like so I never like to change my usuals. My husband tried it first and then told me to try so we did today and I can honestly say this is our new place & it’s so close to us!

For me this place gets a straight up five. So obviously the food is the most key thing and it’s lovely I think this is a real gem Loughborough Junction has. The food is gorgeous proper decent Currys not too oily like I’ve found with other curry houses and good portion sizes That’s not too big or too small. Also very tasty and finally the staff are very nice serving always with a smile.I never ever had a issue with this place and I think that’s the best kind of restaurant is when you never feel the need to complain and your satisfaction is good and your happy. And I’ve personally never found a bad item on the menu. So keep up the good work. Thank you to chef and to all the staff at this little gem 💎 of Loughborough Junction

Delicious sag dal and veg curry. Naan also great and everything very hot when delivered. Great that they have a separate vegan part to the menu.

Very disappointing compared to usual good standard. Chicken kata masala was a tiny portion, dry chicken and with barely any sauce. Sadly won't be ordering again any time soon.

Food is fresh and tasty at this place, have tried this place more than 5 times. One thing bothers me while ordering in shop or eating in they would prefer cash. When you try to pay with card, they even ask you “do you have cash”?

Excellent takeaway. Very efficient staff with absolutely no issues experienced so far. They have a huge range of delicious veggie and vegan options - the pistachio paneer is incredible! Would 100% recommend.

Would give 0 stars if I could! Service takes very long and food is not that great. I have been here twice when I was very hungry and was disappointed each time, they don't even accept cards so you have to withdraw cash. Today I went there because I was so hungry and it had been so long that I thought maybe they had changed. I thought better to eat a curry than pizza. How wrong I was! We ordered and then after waiting for 5 mins someone said what had we ordered and that we would need to wait another 15 mins, when we complained we were told that the food must be good because we came back. £11 for a small curry and rice takeaway is not exactly quality service for the area of London it is in. Would have been better ordering from another place on UberEats. To make things worse, after eating my food, I started to feel ill and had to rush to the loo, if you know what I mean. Never will I go back. Would rather go to the nearby Tesco and get a sandwich than order here!

My friends and I ordered curry from here on Sunday night, we all had different dishes and they were all delicious! Zest of India even made me a curry that wasn't on their menu -even though there was already loads to choose from! The food arrived quickly and they even gave us a free box of chocolates :) Very happy customers, will definitely be returning!
