Silka Restaurant in Southwark

Food was good, staff not so much. Unwelcoming atmosphere, I literally walked in and received no hello just “China or Japan?” Not really sure why it mattered… They then rushed us to order and when they brought the wrong dish over the waiter said “nothing I can do about it.” Would not recommend.

It was the best Indian cuisine I've had in London so far. The wait for food was a bit long but you can understand as it was busy at the time. I wasn't quite keen on been given a time by which we had to leave the table. Nevertheless I would definitely recommend this place if your in search for an authentic Indian cuisine.

We almost walked past Silka on Saturday night but decided to check it out without looking at Google reviews. We ended up being pleasantly surprised! The service was great, the manager was very warm and welcoming to us, we had a lovely conversation with him. The prawns were outstanding, best we’ve ever had. We decided to try the Duck curry, the sauce was great and my partner enjoyed it. I wasn’t as sound of the texture of the meat but enjoyed it nevertheless. The papri chaat was nice but could used fresh veg and herbs like red onions and coriander. Would highly recommend 👌🏽

All fine and pleasant enough experience. Very average all round though. Riding on the coattails of properly good Indian food elsewhere in London.Also, these photos on the other reviews were not representative of what we were served.Read this review if you are looking for an alternative for hoppers, dishoom, tandoor chop house and thought this was going to be a similar/good vibe in borough market. It’s not.Decor was cheap and generally service was bang average.

Superb lunch. Freshly spiced and succulent chicken and lamb. Okra fries were excellent. As good an Indian as I have had in absolute years.

Delicious Indian dishes with affordable prices, friendly staff (especially Juber) and a cosy underground venue. For a meal for 2 with 2 large glasses of wine we paid 60£ but we ordered way too much and had to take away half. However, It is not an issue in this restaurant as they provide boxes and a bag, so don't be afraid to really explore their menu and if you order too much just take it away 😊. Either way, the food was exceptional. We ordered popadums, samosa papdi chat as a starter, bread basket and 2 curries: chicken nawabi kurma and lamb sagwala. The former being more on a sweet verge and the latter on spicy. Both were great but my favourite was kurma! Don't be shy to also ask for advice from the waitresses if you don't know what to choose. They are happy to help. While paying we were also given a mint chocolate to sweeten the meal. We spent such a lovely evening/ date night at silka borough. We were also very well treated by the staff. We will definitely be coming back.If you are looking for exceptional Indian food, want to be treated well and have a nice evening/lunch then definitely visit this place :)

Lovely dinner, reasonably priced, a taste of southern India so traditional 'Indian' dishes are not apparent on the menu. But what we had was delicious. Not an obvious place to find, just a big glass door, but right opposite London Bridge Station, then immediately down stairs to a basement where the restaurant is. No natural light and I can imagine it being a tad hot if lots more people in than there were when we were there and it being warmer outside. But perhaps there is good air con? Beer is Cobra. Not sure if it was the numerical ability of our waiter but check the prices in the menu beforehand (as the menus are taken once you've ordered) but I'm sure it was an honest mistake. But I repeat, beautiful food, well presented. 😋

The best ever. As I am not an Indian food fun, I tried lamb chops, Chennai and tandoori. Best of the best. Very smooth taste, the spices did not disturb me and thanks for the nice tea. I will visit you whenever I can. One more thing, focus on the food not the furniture. Food price is lower than the Borough Market shops which you eat on foot in plastic plates

Really great dinner, super attentive staff. Started with some poppadoms and dips, and then a few dishes to share. Cannot remember the exact names but we picked a yellow lentil dal, paneer curry and an aubergine dish in a creamy sauce with pilau rice, lemon rice, roti and naan. Brilliant, everything was on point. Really recommend! These dishes were enough for 4 people to share and not be hungry (but definitely left some space for dessert).

Starters are worth trying. I like the seekh kabab and tandoori prawns, we ordered. The Lucknowi biryani made my day. I am a fan of Rogan Josh but here the tomatoes dominated the actual flavour (can be taken care of). Meat was cooked to the perfection. Overall it was good and we enjoyed it.
