Dastaan Indian Restaurant in Epsom and Ewell

Our favourite local place to eat! The menu is varied and has a few more unusual takes on dishes. Service is always friendly, but these days it’s definitely recommended to book ahead as they are VERY busy, which tells you a lot about how good this place is !

Wow.Didn't expect to find such an incredible Indian restaurant this side of London and right on my door step.What you immediately notice when you walk in is simply how busy it is (even on a Tuesday night).The interior is charming and unassuming, they let the food (and service) do the talking.We ordered Poppadoms and Pickled dips, Bhajiyas, a Lamb Chop, the Lamb Biryani, the Chicken Chettinad curry, Butter Naan and the Lemon Sorbet dessert.Every dish was cooked with the mastery and care that you would expect of a Michelin awarded Chef.The meal's highlight was the Lamb Chop, whose flavour and texture was so immensely satisfying that we were reluctant to swallow each mouthful.We look very forward to sampling the rest of the menu!

Tucked away amongst a small parade of shops alongside the A240, at first glance you’d think this was just another generic suburban curry house but this is something truly special. This award winning restaurant has been cooking up a curry storm since it opened its doors in 2016 and it’s still going strong.The mooli mustard lamb chops are an absolute must and my favourite dish on the menu - if you don’t order them you’re just not doing it right. Succulent thick-cut lamb chops cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour, they may seem steep at £9.95 per chop but are worth every penny!

Highly highly recommend! The food was simply outstanding, such diversity of flavours and everything cooked very authentically. I couldn’t have asked for a better meal, the lamp chop, chicken methi & vindaloo were delicious! 10/10

Delicious food and good service but ambience could have been better.For Starters, we had the Dahi Puri Chaat (excellent, highly recommend) and Chicken Lollipop (nice and flavourful, but a little dry).For Mains, had Butter Naan with Lamb Rogan Josh and Malai Chicken Kebab, all of which were delicious. Butter Naans were excellent, the lamb cooked very very well and the Malai Chicken Kebab was cooked to perfection although the portion size could have been better.Also tried the Carrot Halwa for Dessert which was quite nice, and not too sweet.Highly recommend; will definitely return.Ambience could have been better . The restaurant is nice but the overall ambience was disturbed by some drunken guests who should have been better controlled by the restaurant staff (rather than encouraging the behaviour).

Friendly staff. £5 for poppa doms and dips is a bit dear. Also they charged for lemon water. Most fine dinning offer thus for free.Dishes may look small, but packed full of flavour

Quality Indian food, packed with flavour. It’s not the oily, 1-taste-for-every-dish kind of place. In my opinion, their chef is actually a chef and is thinking about each dish. Worth the money, even though a little on the expensive side for what I am used to. Lovely friendly staff who are very accommodating and put you at ease. I will definitely go again for a special occasion.

I can easily say that it was my best Indian meal in London. Even if you are not into Indian cuisine - like me - the staff will guide you to have a proper indo-gastronomic experience. The hygiene is also high standards, prices are reasonable. I would recommend if you don’t mind the trip to Epsom

Finally, Indian cuisine that is tasty, fresh, authentic and isn’t full of oil! Highly recommend this place. Service was excellent, staff could explain the menu and ingredients fully and were very efficient and friendly. Menu wasn’t pages and pages of mass produced curries, which I much prefer. Chutneys were the best I’ve tasted. We had to book a month in advance to get a table here, now I understand why! I look forward to visiting again soon.

This is a fantastic place. The food is very authentic Indian and the Chef and staff are wonderful. I see why have won so many awards. Nothing can stop the smiles on my face after seeing the team work together and making sure every single customer is happy. The happiness was floating all around the restaurant.The attention to detail by the Chef and the staff is great. They make sure everyone leaves satisfied.There is a good range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food available. All of them made to order and with detail and attention.We were sat right opposite the kitchen and it was such a joy watching them all working in harmony. The Chef smiling and making sure the team was comfortable all the time. This then radiated to the customers as the staff were happy.All in all a great family friendly restaurant with very authentic Indian food.
