A lovely little place well hidden from view is this gem of a restaurant Place claims to be the oldest curry house and was a meeting point for the Indian diaspora. I nearly missed the entrance but found it wnd climbed the 39 steps to the restaurant Did book a table just in case if it is busy We went for lunch and ordered some starters like Samosa, papadam and masala dosa and had mains like biryani The furniture in the place is quite old and is cool to sit in. Service was very good and fast The chef I enquired is from Kerala and hence the food and way it is cooked is vey traditional Kerala style The sambar and coconut chutney with the dosa was nice I also noticed that the paratha was done Kerala style and if I had known I would have ordered this Enjoyed the food, price is reasonable. There is also take away boxes they do for lunch for circa 8 to 7 pounds and for me that is brilliant if I worked locally All in all a very lovely place to visit and food tastes sublime
I will miss India Club when it closes its doors. I’ve been coming here with my dad for a while now and so grateful for this home away from home. My last lunch there was for my dads birthday last week. We spotted a dear old friend of my dad the late Chandran Tharoor in the bar photos while having drinks and then headed up for our last lunch. It will always be my childhood favourite and I can’t thank the staff enough for making it a place I will always remember. The food always reminds me of my parents and just a home comfort. Dietary restrictions: I have a nut allergy and they alway cater for me so well.
I am so sorry that it took me until you were closing down to make a visit. Well worth the wait though, honest good indian food in an amazing dining room. Thank you for squeezing us into a busy lunch service on a Friday, it’s an experience I’ll never forget.
This is definitely worth a visit! And it's a marmite experience for sure! The front door is an old hotel, a very hidden doorway opposite the ME hotel. 1st floor is a bar, don't be expecting anything fancy but it's dripping in atmosphere and I'd gladly go back for the drink there, especially as there are views out over the Strand. The restaurant is up on the next floor. Food was tasty, a few menu items had run out. Waiter forgot our water a few times, but it was packed so that is understandable. But it's the intense NOISE in there that you'll either love or....not love!! It's great that everyone there wants to chat with friends and create a buzzing atmosphere, but for a chap who appreciates his hearing, it was impossible to hear what your friends are saying unless you lean in and get occasionally spat on accidentally. Was definitely glad I experienced it.
We had the set menu at £22. Very affordable. The main items on the menu that were interesting were the papadums, masala dosa, onion bhajis and roti prathas. All freshly cooked. I am afraid we weren't impressed with any of the curries served on the set menu. I read the reviews on here and my take on the curries were uninspiring and lacking vibrancy. I simply could not find a single dish that was rich in flavour and spices and I am not talking spicy as in heat. Perhaps it is for more western tastes during the 60s but I am pretty sure there are other Indian restaurants around that can easily surpass the dishes we got today. They seemed well cooked but struggle to make our taste buds come alive.
At the top of a dreary, unloved staircase lies an Indian restaurant from a bygone era. We were greeted by luminous yellow wallpaper and an uninterested staff member. Our disappointment began right from the outset with the server informing us that the bhel was unavailable. Instead we opted for the vegetable parkoa and onion bhaji which although fresh came alongside a small puddle of watery chutney. For mains we had the egg curry which was fantastic and had a rich, heartwarming tomato gravy. In stark contrast, the paneer butter masala was extremely sweet and had an off putting yellow colour that matched the wallpaper. The paratha were fluffy and a good accomplishment to the curries. I struggled to give this establishment a 3 star rating and did so only out of respect for its historical past.
Great ambience, good variety of Indian food. The starters are excellent if you were looking for spice, it ends with the chilli bhajias v and the Dosas both veg and non veg are excellent. The place still retains its look from over 60 years back and the minimalism is comforting. Service is efficient and polite. The taste is good but you can get better. Go for the ambience + good experience. And don’t miss visiting the first floor which has the Bar and is the actual Club area.
It's a unique experience! In the heart of London there's smack bam an authentic Indian restaurant. It's incredible. What takes the rating down is that it's not exactly a cheap eat nor filling for people 6 foot upwards. I had the Paneer Dosa and it lacked flavour and I could have devoured another one. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends as it is indeed special.
Well the place is closing in 2 days so this review feels a little pointless, but I might as well... I arrived at 5.30 with my companion and we were able to get shown to a table by 5.40. We were allowed to order at 5.45 but the kitchen didn't start cooking until 6pm. Dosa was ok, good sambhar and coconut chutney. Parathas are a highlight. Channa was decent. Mango lassi was at least made on the premises and not out of a bottle. My brother had recommended chicken 65. Most of the patrons in the very packed dining room and bar were middle aged, middle class white people who had been coming for 40 years and wanting to relive their youth working at the BBC or studying at Kings or LSE. Not that many brown people, probably because the food is only ok, and no longer as cheap as it used to be. It is sad that the place is closing down because the history is so important, but life moves on. End of an era.
Authentic Indian! although the service was slow it was worth the wait. Restaurant on second floor with seperate toilets and bar lounge on first floor. 2nd visit 060721. At 2212hr given the bill without asking 1. If I would like another drink. 2. If I would like a dessert. 3. If I would like tea or coffee.
