"I had my first taste of butter chicken on my flight into London and it had been on my mind ever since. I was on a mission to try more Indian cuisine and I found Tuk Tuk as I was researching eateries. The reviews were great and was about a 10 15 minute walk from our hotel in Haymarket. We stopped in for an early dinner and were one of the few people in the restaurant. Their dishes are made to share and they recommend 3 plates per person to start and so we ordered a handful of different items that included rice, garlic naan, pakora, butter chicken, and a some curries. Oh my, that butter chicken totally hit the spot! I was in heaven! It was SO good with the perfect blend of spices. I thought it would have tasted even better if it were made with chicken thighs as the meat would 've been softer and more moist, but their take was still amazing. I also really enjoyed the garlic naan and sopping up the rest of the sauce with it. For dessert the gulab jamun with ice cream piqued my interest it sounded like nothing I 've ever had and they totally had me at 'milk dumpling. ' The dessert came out piping hot with a nice scoop of ice cream. Let me tell you, this was one of the most memorable desserts I had on our entire European trip. I love 'milk flavored ' sweets and this did not disappoint. The rose flavored sugar syrup did not overpower the milk dumpling and the ice cream balanced everything so well. We LOVED this meal so much that we went back the very next day! The second time it was much busier, much louder, which also resulted in slower service and longer wait times. However, it was worth every minute! Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food was one of my favorite meals on our Europe trip and I 'll cherish this memory as it was my first deep dive into Indian Cuisine. I highly recommend a stop here!"
