"Myself and my partner have been coming here every few weeks for nearly a year now, even right now while we’re both kind of broke. We will continue to do so. The food is fantastic, the best curry i’ve had in london and the owner is always so kind and up for a friendly chat. We always get the same thing, which I imagine isn’t their priciest order, but we are never pressured to spend more (which makes a massive difference and keeps you coming back to a place). The same certainly can’t be said of other restaurants in the area, and particularly the road. Would give 10 stars if I could."

"the bristol raj has now reopened. this was our first visit after shutting off the lock, but we were often before. first, they have deeply cleaned and removed the table cloths so that they can wipe between the customers. they wear face masks when they serve them and run a visitor's book as required by the directive. the restaurant was sadly empty and needs its support. I'm sorry that previous posters had a bad experience. honestly, apart from nutmeg in clifton, which is significantly more expensive, we find bristol raj to be the most consistent and tasteful. you just have to find your favorite and then you're in the curry sky! we had the raj murgh. yes, it did not quite meet the description and was sweet, but was full of large pieces marinated chicken breasts and had a Tamarind sauce with fenugreek finish. it has mango chutney in to thicken, not msg, and tasted beautiful. it was mild, not the 2 chili rating, but they can easily repair. the best for me is the king prawn chilli chingra murg (I think it is called). large juicy garnels, beautiful sauce loaded with finger chili, it is like a chili minenfeld! my fave. they have kingisher on tap and also have bottles of other drinks. they are also in order when they bring themselves! In summary we think that the bristol raj is far better than others before place. it is a very basic place, but the prices reflect this. they get very good quality eating and a warm welcome."

"Had visited this place for a friends wedding party and from start to finish the whole experience for everyone was terrible and not what you’d expect at a meal. The food was tasteless and cold, the drinks wasn’t even fuzzy but flat like they’ve been sitting there for months, there was only one waiter running around doing all the work while all the others was in the kitchen. When confronting the owner EMRAN he wasn’t apologetic knowing his food was terrible and most of the guests was leaving without food hungry. (220 Guests) When another guest left a trip advisor review he personally called them up and that he had no right to post that review, and was being very rude. My Nephew got food poisoning and was in A&E for 2 days after this event. This place is a no go people. 0Stars and please stay far away from it. Very run down place. Also the owner Money hungry EMRAN, needs to have better personal hygiene, he smells like the toilets in his restaurant."

"After a much-needed getaway, we celebrated our newfound freedom with a meal at a delightful restaurant called Le Seasoning Dealer. The ambiance was beautifully decorated and the seating was quite comfortable. The service was attentive, polite, and efficient. The food tasted even better than I remembered! With so many five-star reviews, it’s clear that this place deserves them. If you’re in the area and craving Indian cuisine, this is definitely the spot to visit, especially if you’re feeling undecided or have previously dined at lesser venues. I highly recommend it!"

"we had a party of four to dinner in thali and we are able to go on a Friday night, so was concerned that it could not be as good as the reviews; that was quickly wrong. the wee are cheap, although a small selection we have skipped the appetizers, with taking off papadams, and just went for the main course. the table had lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka makhani and tandoori chicken. the lamb was excellent, spicy but not hot, tandoori chicken was nice, but a bit dry so that the mint sauce was required. Chicken tikka makhani was perfectly beautiful and creamy, mild in seasoned, but very tasteful side of sag paneer, lemon rice and pulao reis. say paneer was...read more"

"After reading the good reviews I decided to give this place a try. Turned up without a reservation and was asked to wait while they prepare a table. After 5 minutes I asked for a pint of Cobra and was immediately served with a nice cold beer which certainly helped pass the time. About 10 minutes later I was given a table and promptly ordered poppadoms and a main course. I think they forgot about me as it was pretty busy. After 20 minutes the poppadoms, rice (jeera rice) and the main course(kolhapuri chicken) arrived. It was certainly worth the wait as the rice and main course was absolutely delicious. As another review said, the service is a bit like faulty towers, the staff are great and the girl behind the bar was dedicated to keeping everyone happy. I've been to many Indian restaurants over the years and I recommend you try this one. It's much quieter after 8:30pm where you might find a quicker service."

"My family ordered dinner from this restaurant tonight, and my sister exclaimed that it was the best curry she has ever had. She mentioned that she would be willing to travel just to dine here again. The meal was amazing and arrived on time as scheduled. We were very pleased with both the flavor and heat of the dishes."

"Intimate Indian restaurant in the heart of Blackheath; popular by locals and often visited by regulars. Delivering great customer service Zakir was friendly and attentive and serving flavourful dishes! Never been a bread fan, but the garlic naan was exceptional so soft and smelt divine! *TIPS: 1. Place often busy so best order to takeaway and (weather permitting) enjoy in the park, or at home 2. Not sure what to get? The Chicken Tikka Massala was lovely with Pilau rice; decent portions for the price"

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"

"We had booked in advance. When we arrived it was clearly very busy, and we were asked to stand by the takeaway counter. No problem with that – it was a 50% off day and we appreciated it was hectic. But whilst we were waiting there a waiter came past carrying a tray and accidentally brushed against my wife, leaving a curry stain on the sleeve of my wife’s coat. He apologised, which was fine, but we still felt we needed to point it out to the manager behind the counter, in case we couldn’t get it out. At first he tried to laugh it off and dismiss it as nothing to worry about, but when we politely asked him to make a note of it he started to get angry. He then lead us to our table at the back of the restaurant. We were a bit concerned with how close this was to the people on the adjoining table (as were they) and when we queried this he started shouting at us so loudly that people on all the nearby tables stared in disbelief. As we sat down he actually shouted “No need to stay. We won’t serve you” I was absolutely gobsmacked at such behaviour, the like of which I have never ever encountered in a restaurant, and I could tell by the faces of the customers on the tables on either side that they were deeply embarrassed. We did stay, and they did serve us. And on the way out afterwards the manager (whose name was Kamal) did in fairness to him, apologise for his behaviour, but of course that was far too late.It was clear that the 50% deal made the restaurant much busier than they could cope with. The ladies on one side had to ask 3 times just to get someone to take their order, and they still hadn’t received any food by the time we left. And when we asked for our bill, we were given somebody else’s Worst of all, despite intensive efforts, we were unable to get the curry stain out of my wife’s coat. We phoned the next day and were promised the owner would phone us. We’re still waiting……"

"Tonight I orderedtandoori king prawn, chicken tikka biriani peshwari nan as a home delivery meal. Checked the prices on their website it was £22.95 (with free delivery as it was over £15). They said it was £33.95 when it arrived!!! Upon querying it the guy said it wasn’t the same as on their website anymore. Ridiculous price, and not worth it so I will not be going there or ordering in any more takeaways, despite having been a loyal customer for years. It is now totally overpriced they can’t even acknowledge the fact that their own website is advertising a completely different set of prices! How do they get away with this? Trading standards???"

"Been to this pub many times as the Indian food is usually great but unfortunately last night could be our last night!! They have introduced a new menu which started last night and none of the staff seem to know what’s going on! They were actually printing off A4 copies of the menu as customers asked to see a menu!The evening started with me asking the barman for a pint of Kingfisher (Indian beer) and he asked if I wanted a single or a double!! After clarifying that I wanted a pint of beer not a spirit, I then asked him for a pint of coke and a half pint of lager. This little teaser had him totally flummoxed! He asked if I meant half pint coke and a half pint of lager? NO says I, I want a pint of coke with ice and a half pint of lager! It took him a good 30 seconds to figure out it was two separate drinks and he was thinking where could he find a big enough glass to mix a pint of coke with half of lager .The evening continued along the same vein when we tried to order food. The order was written down three times before he got it right.The food turned up after 30 minutes but was immediately sent back as it was all cold .When the meals arrived the second time, they were all hot and very tasty. This was surprising given the Fawlty Towers experience we’d just had at the bar.So the management have clearly screwed up with the introduction of their new menu. There has obviously been no planning and no staff training. We saw several customers complaining directly to the manager. We will wait a few months for this place to either settle down or go out of business before we would consider trying it again."

"I had some of the dishes on this vegan menu and they were all really good, appetizer and net. I recommend the aubergine. the employees in this restaurant are always so friendly and chatting for me! the owner told us he was inspired to create a vegan menu from his sister who is vegan. this place costs definitiw much more than they expect, especially given the amount of cheap Indian food they can get in london."
"zizzi in henley has a good atmosphere over several rooms in the restaurant. we were impressed by the variety on the menu with a genuine rustic Italian feeling, the dishes are concentrated on great taste. the service was really good during a busy bank holiday season."

"Very good food. Came with a group from work and wasn't disappointed. The final bill was on the expensive side for Indian food but I think it was because they kept bringing rice sides I wasn't fully sure we had ordered and there were some of them completely untouched. Also it was freezing inside, not sure if this was a temporary problem though. Definitely good food though and I think it's the best one in the area."
