Chicken korma was the best I have ever tasted - smoky, peanuty-ish, tender chunks of chicken in a creamy korma sauce. It was korma heaven!
Saag Paneer was excellent, if slightly on the salty side. It was loaded with ample paneer in delicious saag.
Samosas are large and well with its price.
Meat biryani was goat biryani and was well flavored despite appearing to be unevenly mixed. Some of the rice biryani was almost white whereas other portions were more red.
Skip the tandoori chicken wings, they were a bit dry. -

Food is good, as many reviews has mentioned. But that's pretty much it. Really not recommended since their staffs were incredibly unwelcoming.
No water was served, the waiter was very unfriendly when I ordered. When I was trying to ask for the check, the waiter had seen me but didn't come after at least 10 minutes and served countless other male customers. Eventually I had to walk up to the staff to ask for my check again, just also to witness how friendly he was to another male customer.
Not trying to pull any sexism card here but maybe next time I'll come with some male friends and see if I get some better service.
Just kidding I'll never go to torture myself again. -

We were in London on vacation. My husband and I are serious fans of Indian/Pakistani food. Our 21 yr old daughter isn't, except for kebab. We picked this restaurant because of the tandoori / kebab specialties. Our waiter was very attentive to the diverse tastes of our table. He even brought out a very generous sample of the chicken kebab. It was one of the best kebabs I have ever tasted. Succulent, tasty and perfectly charred on the outside. If I lived in London, I would be here frequently.

I recall this place having Amazing Kebabs. Maybe some of the best I ever had.
the curries weren't very memorable. But that was about 10yrs ago. Decided to finally go back.
Was a bit disappointed with the Kebabs as the chicken tikka were completely bone dry and overcooked. The Lamb chops were decent.
But was quite surprised with how good the curries and breads were.
Overall - can't beat a place where 10 people eat like kings and spend 23GBP each (not counting BYOB beers from the "Off-license" next door).
One word of warning - large groups are seated upstairs... which means you maybe seating next to 30 people on a "Stag" chanting and chugging and being obnoxious as is to be expected with such a thing... but definitely changes your noise level altogether. -

Good food, we had kabobs and naan. Mango lassi was alright, not the best I have had. But this place is open late and it was packed! In my opinion, the food at Giftos in Southend tastes the best! I am a tourist from the States and I have to say London has the best desi food : )
