"Ah, the evening at Café Tiffin in Clerkenwell was nothing short of a delightful escape from the usual splendors that adorn our lives. As a member of the royal family, one is accustomed to the finest delicacies and the most opulent settings. Yet, this charming establishment, nestled amidst the bustling heart of London, provided an experience that was both refreshingly quaint and exquisitely satisfying. The ambience was most inviting, reminiscent of a cozy haven where one could enjoy the finer pleasures of life in a more intimate setting. Our repast commenced with the crisp and delicate poppadums accompanied by a splendid chutney tray, a perfect symphony of flavors that tantalized the palate. The onion bhaji, with its golden hue and impeccable seasoning, was a testament to the culinary prowess of Café Tiffin. The mains, comprising a rich and aromatic Lamb Korma and a divine Paneer Tikka Rogan, were cooked to perfection. Each bite revealed layers of carefully crafted spices, a true homage to the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine. The cheese naan and garlic fried rice served as impeccable accompaniments, adding a delightful texture and an additional burst of flavor to the feast. The service, akin to the finest royal protocol, was attentive and gracious, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. It is often said that luxury lies in the details, and Café Tiffin has mastered this art. The meal was reasonably priced, a pleasant surprise in an area dominated by high-end establishments. This gem of a restaurant, with its warm atmosphere and flavorful dishes, stands as a worthy alternative to the more ostentatious dining venues nearby. A visit to Café Tiffin is highly recommended for those who seek culinary excellence in a setting that feels like home away from the grandeur of the palace."

Found this tucked away round the back of Clerkenwell. Small but comfortable. Friendly service and food was well above average. Well worth checking out if you’re in the area

Really first class meal. The Mumbai Chicken was packed full of flavour and chicken! I came quite early so the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, but I’m sure it will be (or certainly should be) later on. I was thinking about going to Brick Lane, but I’m so glad I didn’t as this was far far better than anything I have had there, and I have tried a lot! Can’t recommend highly enough, and great value too.

From start to finish, our experience at this restaurant was exceptional! Tony provided excellent service, adding to the enjoyment of our meal. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented and kept hot until the last bite. We cannot remember the last time we had such a delightful dining experience. We will definitely be recommending this charming spot to anyone visiting London. Be sure to make reservations in advance - this place is too good to miss!
