Karnaphuli Restaurant

I’ve been going here since I was a teenager , I’m 45 now ! I’ve dined in near enough every Indian restaurant around islington, stoke newington and everywhere , this is by far the best Indian food at a BIR. It’s rich, tasty and every dish is completely individual, not like the generic base gravy dishes. I urge everyone to try this food. Pleeeeease!!! You won’t be disappointed at all! Vegetarian options: I’m a meat eater too , But vegetarian dishes are all yummy.

Excellent Indian food in a non-pretentious setting. Service is friendly and the staff couldn’t be nicer. The menu js massive so it’s hard to pick but everything we had was excellent with my personal favorite being the momos. Great place!

Me and my friend decided to go out to eat after a bad day to cheer us up, we have lived in the area for over 25 years. We arrived there around 9pm and ordered two starters which they gave us old salad and uncooked meat. We waited for nearly two hours for our main and I need to get home to my son, so by the time the food came I had to leave, and informed the manager that the salad was extremely old was literally dehydrated. And that everyone else had come after us and served before us. The manager in return was extremely patronising and unnecessary went on to tell me he had been in the business for 45 years and knew what he was doing? But how you been in the business for 45 years and be amazing at it and not retired? I told him I didn’t asked for that information to where my friend had now responded that you’ve been now shouting at us all over the food that you are now expecting us to eat. Due to the fact that me and my friend do look extremely young he turned around and replied with we can usually tell when people like YOU come in are not going to pay to which I replied with your being discriminating towards us which he responded to with a smile. At this point my friend had left and I paid the bill even though we had nothing to essentially eat not even finished our drinks. Just because we was the only people not drunk enough to eat your raw food nor could handle that you thought two young women would be able to converstate with him like that. All he did was shout while we spoke honestly if I didn’t need to go home to my son the night would have ended differently would never recommend. Appalling customer service

I wasn’t expecting more than a decent curry but this place really exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and great value for money. The service was really pleasant and attentive too. The decor was also lovely, there’s a lot of paintings by Bangladeshi artists on the walls which add a nice touch. Can’t fault the place at all! Will definitely be coming back here.

The best Indian food with amazing service. Would definitely recommend for relax dinner

Booked at short notice and was greeted with excellent service and fantastic, tasty and great value food. Highly recommend.

Fantastic local authentic Indian restaurant with great Lamb Dansak reasonably pricedFood: 5/5

Terrible food. Worst curry house i have tasted in London. Food not freshly cooked. Grilled chicken was almost disintegrating - probably a few days old. Same with the staters. Don't enter!

I hadn't been here for years and so was hoping it was still as good as I'd remembered. It did not disappoint, the food tasted fresh and each dish had amazingly complex flavours. We ordered the lamb madras and chicken Dhansak with a few sides to compliment...all really delicious. Will be back! :

Not even close to sub continent food. The main curry looks similar and they just add different types of meat in it as per order. The biryani is miles away from authentic biryani and peshawari kebab was served with pineapple. Who the hell add pineapples in peshawari kebab. Highly disappointing.
