Review of Rasa South Indian Vegetarian Restaurant
23 May 08, 13:05
I've been to Kerala - so take it from me 
I know what I am talking about - I went to Kerala earlier this year - and on a side note your should definitely visit too.
If I closed my eyes while I was eating the dosa masala I could have easily been back there. Wind in my face - South Indian Ocean lapping gently againts my feet.
The starters were equally wonderful, the deepfriend aubergine and mango chutneys exactly how I remembered them.
Everything was perfect - right down to the banana crisps they servce you before the meal.

Review of Spices

Great Indian Delivery 
I had to spend the entire day, some 13 hours, shifting stuff from one flat to another while driving a white van all over London. You can imagine the last thing I wanted to do was start cooking, and, to top it all off, I had five friends coming round. Sounds like something from a commercial doesn't it?!
Anyway, being a good tinterweb user I head straight for WLL and found Spices. A few good reviews and the business had even decided to sign up - I'm sold. The order was placed, the food arrived and much fun was had by all.
Good choice if they cover your area.

Review of The Cinnamon Club
02 Apr 08, 12:56
Fantastic Contemporary Indian Food
I'd heard a lot of things about the Cinnamon Club before I went. Full of politicos, great atmosphere, up market Indian food.
The first two points didn't concern me, and in fact they were quickly proved correct when I was sat down next to David Dimbleby in a beautiful old building with a particularly buzzy mood.
The label of up market Indian scared me a little. Indian food to me has always meant over sized protions, a little bit greasy and in general same from restaurant to restaurant. It's just what I like.
The great news is you definitely won't leave feeling hungry. The portions are great, and while you won't see a Rogan Josh on the menu you'll definitely find something great to replace it.
Definitely worth a visit.

Review of K2 Kashmiri

The best balti in the land
The balti was invented in Birmingham, it is a well know fact. Well it is if you have ever met me before.
K2 makes the best Balti in Birmingham, Birmingham makes the best baltis therefore K2 makes the best balti in the land QED.
While being a little on the small side, and not really having the most up to date decor, this place makes up for it in food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended to all.
If my memory serves me right, Wednesday is life Jazz night and usually showcases some local talent.

Review of Imli

Great Indian, doesn't need to be Tapas 
I'm a big fan of tapas, and a big fan of Indian. QED right? Wrong. Indian tapas just doesn't work, allow me to explain.
Imli works like any typical Tapas bar or restaurant, order three to four small dishes or share a larger number between a group of you. What's more, Imli's Indian food is particularly good. Great use of spicing, and really complex flavours. But for me this is where the problem lies.
You miss the complexity of the individual dishes because you are too busy moving onto the next. We had the large tasting menu (not cheap either at £22 a head) and there was just too much food, I couldn't appreicate it all properly.
That said, you don't have to treat it as a tapas place, you could just have 1, at the most 2 dishes, and have rice and bread with it. This would most definitely be my advice.
To sum up. Great Indian food, lose the tapas.
I final word or two should be left for the ice cream, fig and ginger, which is quite possibly some of the nicest I have ever had. Make sure you leave some room for it at the end.

Review of Parveen Tandoori Restaurant
19 Jul 07, 00:48
Fine Indian Dining
The Parveen is easily my favourite Indian in Angel, and probably the best I have eaten in London since moving down.
The Rogan Josh is how it should be, full of frsh tomatoes, and actually quite hot, not mild like many places seem to make it. The staff are always friendly and treat their regulars well, and while the prices aren't exactly cheap, there is definitely a sense that you have got what you paid for when you leave.
Highly recommend to all in the area and beyond.

Review of Eriki
29 Jun 07, 15:06
A decent Indian surrounded by not much else
Walking through Swiss Cottage looking for a somewhere to eat was a tough experience. I hear you, we should have used welovelocal, none of use will ever make that mistake again!
After passing by a rather large looking sushi venue, and then an empty thai, we stumbled upon Eriki a friendly looking Indain.
The service was good, the food arrived quickly and the atmosphere was pleasant. I particularly enjoyed the pakora that seemed to add a modern twist to what can be an otherwise simple starter.

Review of Gulshan

A Well Priced Indian in Kentish Town
As a former Brummie I consider myself a bit of a curry connoisseur. What is more I am used to the Brummie pricing system that tells me anything over £6 for a curry is simply not worth it. Moving to Kentish Town I was pleased to find this well priced Indian (think £5 per main) just at the bottom of my road. The food isn't phenomenal but the staff are friendly and the location is great. Highly recommended if you are in the area and looking for that curry fix.
