"Very surprised to read some of the reviews from visitors at TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge as we have always had excellent service and the food is some of the best Indian dishes we have had.We were seated inside the TigerBay Shisha Lounge however as this has open sides all round and even an open roof in warmer days or nights, we felt completely safe and COVID protected. The evening was very busy but had a great atmosphere and we didn’t feel cramped or as if we were too near to other customers. The music especially with the appearance of DJ Shraii gives something a little bit extra special than other venues.All members of staff wore face masks and we noticed they politely reminded any customers to use their masks when not seated at their tables.The food is always hot and you can hear the sizzle plates sizzling as the food is served. Portions are really generous and we usually find it hard choosing from all the delicious dishes on offer.The mocktails are especially good and the fruity versions topped with fresh and sweet fruit. We have not tried the Shisha varieties however talking to people we met last week, they said the choices are good and flavours excellent quality. So even without Shisha being available at the moment under Covid rules, TigerBay Shisha Lounge is a great venue.We are looking forward to spending many more summer evenings especially in the garden area which is beautifully filled with gorgeous plants and makes you feel you are on holiday and not just on an evening out.Keep doing what you do so well TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge."

"The food at this restaurant is made fresh to order. The Dal could use a bit more salt, but it was still good when paired with rice. The standout aspect of this place is the excellent service. The host even went above and beyond to create a new mocktail for a colleague who did not like the Virgin Colada. The food may take a bit longer to be served since it is made to order, but it is definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend this restaurant for its exceptional service and fresh, made-to-order food."

"I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff were very helpful and attentive, and the ambiance was nice. The food was well presented, flavorful, and the portions were good. I didn't give it five stars because I have had better meals elsewhere, but I would definitely go back for another good meal."

"The food and the drinks were really good and it is a nice restaurant the only thing that it was ruined for us was a useless waiter who didn't ask if we wanted to start popadums that every other indian always ask, and in the middle of the meal of our starter meal the waiter suddenly came to the table and puts the main menu (for some reasons Eltham Yeti had unveiled the menu in such two. Such a shame that it looked great."
"Visited with my husband and son. All three of us had different meals and all without exception including starters were very good (to excellent). Waiters were very attentive and the service was very efficient. It is also fairly obvious that cleanliness is important to them, something that rates highly in my books..."

"update 31/1/18: I was now in the actual restaurant, which is a beautiful modern room. eating was great as always, service a touch strange as the server was just very quiet. we had several times from the yak and yeti (they supply further when they call the restaurant as if they try to order on hungryhouse). they have arranged a whole vegan menu section with over 20 and so far we have tried about 10 and have not been disappointed by any. all dishes are very cheap at around £6.95 for a curry dishes and the vegan special roasted rice and mushroom rice are excellent. with a vegan section to make it so easy, we don't try to get curry anywhere else! only to note that if we order, they often send a few free poppadome and I think the generic green dip that they send with it is (not-vegan) yogurt. updated from previous review to 2017-11-15"

"(Delivery) Considering the high rating on Tripadvisor and the reviews of the place we were ready to give Kali Mirchi a go. After quotes of Best Indian and So much flavour being thrown around, we were anticipating a much needed curry. After placing the order and being told it would be 40 minutes, we waited an hour before we called to be told it had just left and would be with us any minute. It came to £19.20 so I gave the driver £20 and was told he had no change! Biting my lip to the sofa we dug in to our starters. The Onion Bhajis were more gram flour than onion and for such a cheap dish to make was surprising. I could taste the old oil which isn 't always a bad thing if it wasn 't for there being too much flour to soak it up. Oily onion bhajis seen to, mains were a go. I love my naan bread and wasn 't all that impressed with the one I had infront of me, the bright red keema filling had all dropped to one side and it was very thin. The pilau rice was nice though, I think they had added a touch of saffron. The Chicken Tikka Masala was average at best and tasted alot like cheese. Not how I would expect, it was also luke warm but did have good chunks of chicken. The lamb jalfrezi was overly spiced and had more than enough green chillies but abit too much oil. Unfortunalty we didnt feel Kali Mirchi had lived up to its reputation and I am a firm believer that food should be a similar standard when delivered, if this is the standard in restaurant then I would be very disappointed to have made the journey. Summary Nothing special, average experience for a takeaway, good portions of meat, but bad balance of spice and flavour. Check your change and order well in advance!"

"Unassuming but... This large restaurant is casual and unassuming but don’t let that fool you. The food is “brilliant”! Our saag bhaji was well made and had an interesting ingredient in it that made it outstanding. We discussed it with the chef and he agreed with our finding as to what it was and what made the dish so flavorful and tasty. The bangain bharta was very delicately flavored with cardamom a first for us. The paneer shashlik was well presented and had great taste although I would have preferred a slightly stronger marinate. The service was quick, friendly with a touch of special attention by the owner. We ended the meal with a hot cup of masala tea which hit the spot. All in all a very satisfying and pleasant dinner. Reminded us of our home cooking. Give this place a shot you are bound to enjoy the experience."

"Would I eat here again ABSOLUTELY!! The main course was so tasty I involuntarily closed my eyes and hummed. I ordered the Rarah Gosht and I highly recommend the dish it was beautiful. The service by a very young man was great, fast and polite. So why 4 not 5 stars? I think 5* should be perfect would like to give 4 and a half. Very insignificant gripes the sundries/dips with the poppadoms weren't great, I prefer my Naan whole not cut into quarters and didn't like the music. These are small problems that are personal to me and I will definitely try to have a meal here again while I'm in the area."

"I went to this restaurant for a Mother's Day meal. The service was excellent, with Bharat and the chefs willing to accommodate a special request. However, I had to request to speak to the chef initially, as the waitress was not very accommodating. The food was just okay. Considering the average price of £8 per dish, I expected exceptional quality. Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations with small portions, lack of spice, and some dishes were tasteless, like the Dum Aloo and baby sweetcorn starter. I do not plan on returning as there are many other Indian restaurants that are more authentic, better value for money, and taste much better."

"My daughter came back from 3 months volunteering in Nepal raving about mo mo's. The Yak and Yeti have vegetable and meat versions of mo mo's and they take 20 mins to steam, so we let them know we wanted the vegetable ones for a starter on arriving. Ate poppadoms whist waiting. The mo mo's were delicious! We had the vegan Thali for main course. Also delicious! One of our party doesn't like spicy food, so they made a very mild vegetable biryani which he enjoyed. My husband had the chicken tikka masala and steamed rice and said it was the best one he'd ever had. It was our first visit to this restaurant and it's a beautiful place. A super restaurant for special occasions."
"We went with my family for dinner. Soon as we entered we were greeted and taken to the table which made us feel very welcomed. The staff were friendly and were able to suggest us the special dishes of the restaurant. The food were served quickly and they were fresh and very delicious. All our family members enjoyed our time here and looking forward to our next meal out here and highly recommend to everyone."

"If you 're looking for a typical curry house for a session meal before the rugby, you might be in for a surprise. You wouldn 't have guessed that Indian food could be like this, don 't believe me? just watch. There is a level of sophistication in the food that makes Atithi Restaurant one of the best dining restaurants for a popular cuisine this side of London. I 'm not going to make any excuses for those of you who find finer dining uncomfortable, when the food is this good you are going to have to just darn well put up with it. I have been to Atithi too many times to count, and every time I have put my blogging aside because I have been too impatient, wanting to actually enjoy my meal without having to document my experience. Yes, this has been an oversight on my part, but it is a testament to how good the food is here. It is dark inside, so you 'll find yourself in quite an intimate environment. Be sure to be asked to be seated further back inside the restaurant when you go, it can be a little drafty near the front in the winter months. Forget about the usual curry houses down Church Street and head one street back toward the station on York Street, opposite The Bear pub and you 'll find Atithi. When presented with the menu, steer away from the samosa 's, although they are nice you 'll be doing yourself a disfavour by not ordering the potato cake or the butterfly king prawns as a starter. The Paneer is also a favourite of mine. There 's a particularly interesting mains dish Goan Prawn curry with coconut and poppy seeds that is very tasty indeed. I for the most party enjoy the Galafi Handi, spring lamb cooked with onion, tomato and spices. You maybe be wondering how this compares to another Indian restaurant Tangawizi in East Twickenham. They are more flashy (which I like) and the food is also good there, however, I got fed up with being rushed through service. The are very much into 'turning their tables ', and to me, that is not dining. Having staff hovering around your table waiting for you to finish is pushing the envelope to far and this is what Tangiwizi do. So I love to go to Atithi whenever I need a good curry, we are also favourite of their delivery service, which is great for a night in and a treat every now and again. I understand that they maybe a little more on the wallet but if you really want to experience high quality Indian cuisine then its definitely a go. See my blog:"

"Came here for dinner tonight. The food was very tasty and the portions were quite big. I noticed that nothing on the menu was very hot (spicy), instead they focused on infusing their food with authentic Indian herbs and spices. To start, we had popadons and deep fried king prawns (although having lived in Hong Kong for 10 years we didn't consider them very big). Unless you really like Indian spices a lot, I wouldn't recommend ordering the prawns as they have a very strong flavour to them (a little too strong for my taste buds). Then, we ordered 2 vegetable dishes (one was a sweetcorn curry and the other an aubergine dish can't quite remember the names of them), 1 chicken dish in a mild tomato cream sauce and a lamb biryani. Everything was delicious! The vegetables were cooked just right and the meats were tender and juicy. This, along with some nam bread, was definitely enough to feed 4 hungry people, maybe even 5 not so hungry people. When we arrived at 7, the restaurant didn't look very busy. But later in the night, it started to fill up. If you're planning on having dinner later, I would recommend booking a table."
