"Beautiful, succulent, tasty food; well presented and served by friendly staff. The menu doesn 't waste time giving you extensive lists, running to several pages, of what you might hope to get in any, run-of-the-mill, Indian restaurant. It 's one page of what they do brilliantly well. Sure there are enough choices; but immediately we got the feeling that these guys know what they are doing. Keeping it simple and preparing wonderful dishes. This very much proved to be the case. The chicken tikka starter was immense. The Railway Lamb Curry fantastic. Herself had 'the best fish curry ' she 'd ever had. Even the dessert menu (something I 'm seldom tempted by in an Indian restaurant) had a dish to tempt. Best Indian food I 've had in the capital by a mile. Thoroughly recommend. Seek it out."

"Under new management. Beware of the star rating of this one it used to be good, now it isn 't. I reviewed this restaurant back in 2017. The food was nice, well made, and even though it appeared to have been 'adapted ' to the Italian palette, it was very enjoyable. We haven 't been for a couple of years, but a recent trip to Milan found me looking at the menu of Rangoli. It offers many more types of dish than before, and so we booked and gave it a go. What a disappointment! From beginning to end. There are no longer poppadums, instead, there is a dry, flatbread (like .5mm flat) which I have never experienced before in any Indian restaurant. This is served with a rather acidic mint sauce, and a sour sauce. Moving on to a starter, I ordered the Chicken Pakora one of my favourites from my past experience. Awful. It was dry the chicken, in particular, was dried out, hard to chew, and did not appear to be very good meat. Brown and mashed. I couldn 't finish it. It didn 't taste fresh. Onto the main course, A chicken madras. The sauce was very nice. The problem was there was next to no chicken in it. 4 small pieces around half a breast. What a disappointment Rangoli. And the price you charge for a portion of rice is ridiculous. This isn 't cheap, but neither is it good. A bad experience which I don 't care to repeat."

"Came here once for a work meal, having heard that it would be good for a mix of vegan/veggie/meat-eaters. The vegan options were all listed so in the menu (a paneer dish is incorrectly marked vegan though, I've seen the restaurant acknowledge this on Facebook as a typo). We had starters and mains, and everything was really delicious. I love Indian cuisine but haven't eaten it out much since being vegan because of being unsure about what would be suitable. The awesome food (plus nice service from the staff), coupled with the food being labelled vegan helped make this a really great night and experience!"

"a group of 6 of us went there on a Monday evening as there were good reviews. it is located in a next street, and the first impression was the datierte decoration. they have an extensive menu and many items are listed as vegan or can be made vegan. we had the opportunity to get in the ground floor near the beginning (which was above warm) or down (which was very cold, as there was no heating) so we chose the ground floor. the restaurant was pretty busy. they serve alcohol. on the menu is located cobra beer 1/2 pint, 1 pint and from the bottle. buy the bottle as there is much cheaper than the design beer. note that on the menu there are poppadums on two places mentioned. £1 for 1. or pay them £3,50 for two if they want something chutney with. they bring them the more expensive if they do not specify. I had punjabi samosas for the starter. they were in order, but I had better elsewhere. one of our groupings the bhel armi, but it did not happen until all others had finished their ancestors, but he said it tasted very beautiful. for the net I had the tofu massaman curry. in the round it consisted of large plates of tofu with some kartoffels in a green sauce. unfortunately my curry lukewarm was when it arrived, but it tasted ok. It was very mild and suitable for my palate. I had to order a part rice separately, and the part rice was bigger than I actually needed. my partner ordered the vegan thiali £17. we told the waiter that we were vegan when we ordered and the vegan thiali is mentioned specifically on the menu. when it arrived, it seemed to have milkrita as well as a non-vegan dessert. we asked the waiter if it was vegan and he said yes, then he reconstructed and took the dessert away to be replaced. he did not seem to be aware that the rita was not vegan. I checked with another employee who said that the rita they brought was not vegan and they would also replace it. another employee said they would replace the rita with a vegan version they did. it seemed just a waiter for most of the time to be, and he seemed to watch his time with headphones in and on his phone! overall eating was ok, the service was not so great. there are many Indian vegetarian restaurants in london and some with beautiful decoration and better eating."

"The staff here are very good and very knowledgeable the food was delicious to say the least they even gave us a complimentary snack alongside a little drink the only negative I can say is the music was a little too loud for us but nothing major and the price was in my opinion fairly high This said myself and partner would definitely come back"

"I was there twice in a week. for the first time two weave and we had delicious appetizers. we enjoyed it and had great service. the Peshwari man was delicious. I returned on Saturday with two friends and our experience was less good. they had a big party and so understandably had less time. we had pompodums instead of appetizers and so judged on net and veg. the cute portions were too small and we wish we had ordered more food-very unusual for one inder where you usually order over order! the peshwari was not almost as beautiful as before in the week. overall my second visit was disappointing."

"This is our local Indian restaurant which has a reputation for high end asian food. We have frequented it since it opened but now we feel it has dropped its ' standards largely through lack of staff training. I tried to book a table for 2 but the website wasn 't working. I rang at 10 a.m. The call was taken by a rather unprofessional individual who simply said Hello? It sounded as if I 'd woken him up! When we arrived at the restaurant we were shown to our table but no attempt was made to pull out my wife 's chair for her, so I did it whilst the waiter looked on. The table was sticky, indicative of not having been cleaned properly. Later in the evening we saw first hand that by way of cleaning, the tables were simply scraped with a crumb scraper rather than being disinfected. Cutlery was placed directly on the table nonetheless. We were handed very grubby menus. My wife 's was annotated in pen. We suspect it was for staff use. We ordered drinks immediately so that we could have a drink whilst we read the menus and made our choices. They did not arrive until the starters arrived more on the starters anon . My wife ordered a Bombay Sapphire gin and Fevertree Mediterranean Tonic. The drink finally arrived with all the tonic already added so we never saw the bottle, it could have been anything, and in any event my wife would normally only use half the tonic to avoid making the drink too diluted. For starters we ordered popadoms for one and some onion bhaji bites to share between us. We stipulated that we wanted them served at the same time for that purpose. 60 seconds later the waiter reappeared with the popadoms entreating us to be careful as the bowl was hot. I suggested that the bowl would be much cooler by the time the bhajis were ready and asked that he take them away and serve fresh popadoms with the bhajis as originally requested. The starters finally arrived together. The dips for the popadoms were very thin. Of the 3 bhaji bites 2 were undercooked and the third so undercooked as to be almost raw inside. I couldn 't eat it and asked for it to be taken away. The waiter returned to say that the chef had apologised so that 's alright then! . I suggested that a more meaningful gesture would be for us not be charged for the bhajis and indeed we were not. For her main course, my wife had the Goan Prawns. Whilst tasty, they were served in a vast sea of sauce which necessitated a trawl of the bowl to get the prawns out. I had Chicken Tikka Madras. Again, very tasty but to my mind the chicken had had only a brief relationship with the appropriate marinade and an even briefer flirtation with a tandoor. Nonetheless this variant attracted an additional charge. Throughout the meal there were no signs of attentiveness from the staff. Unused and empty glasses were not taken away without prompting and apart from the usual irritating is everything ok? , waiters and front of house staff walked by without ever casting a glance at our table to see if there was anything they could do to help. Finally, throughout the evening the waiter and the manager would refer to us as you guys . After this happened for the umpteenth time I collared the manager and told him that referring to diners in this manner might be appropriate in MacDonalds, but we didn 't care for it in a Bib Gourmand restaurant with high end pretensions. Quite incredibly, the manager had no idea what that accreditation meant, nor that the restaurant he was working in had one! Taken in isolation, you might think that our grumbles were minor. However, taken together in an establishment that used to pride itself in not being just another curry house, they are disappointing to say the least. On previous visits we have commented on the fact that asian people obviously rated the place and attended in numbers. Not so this time, there were only 16 diners in the restaurant at its peak which is not impressive on a Friday night. When we pay £75 for one and a half starters, two main courses and a couple of drinks each, we expect better."

"very pleased to see a restaurant of this quality on the island dogs. it was tried as taking with a friend and was not disappointed. we were initially quite surprised by the quantities (food was a little short for their average take-off, taking into account the price), but then when we tried it, we understood the restaurant was actually at a much higher level than their usual indians. it was tasty and yet easy to eat was 5/5. the menu choice was quite limited. I'd like to eat after the pandemic."

"This restaurant offered an authentic experience of sub-continental cuisine. The venture is very enterprising located in NESCOT. Everything is new and very clean. There is a good choice of dishes although on our visit the two dishes my son asked for were not available. I had a sizzling tikka dish of chicken lamb chop and fish which was very good accompanied with an exceptional vegetable curry with nine different vegetables.My son enjoyed his chicken tikka masala . Naan bread and a chapati were of a high standard. The service was a bit slow but it is a training ground for youngsters making their way in the catering industry."

"The food at this restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the lamb biryani and the dal makhani. The tamarind sauce served with the papadums was amazing. My friend tried the railway lamb dish and also loved it. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday night, but the service was still great. They even made a mild vegetarian curry for my wife, who really enjoyed it. Overall, a wonderful dining experience."

"I can't recommend enough here, we actually came by because of the fact that the food so beautiful from the road passing. eating is beautiful and really carefully created, there is also a massive separate vegan menu with many different options on. I think it's the best thing I had all year (and had long). they also provide non-vegans, which is beautiful when they want a meal with many people who are not all vegan. I think they are looking to move stalls into the road quickly, so make sure they travel double check. there is also a restaurant in kingston. the personal is also very beautiful and very attentive."

"I had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The food is cooked to order, so make sure to allow yourself enough time to fully enjoy and appreciate the fantastic menu. The owner's family member has celiac disease, so they understand special dietary needs."
