Indian Orchid - Barnet

Absolutely love this place, fantastic Indian food, great drinks and friendly, attentive service. Eaten here with friends, family and ordered take out. Almost don't want to leave a review because want to keep it secret!

Always have the best food at Indian Orchid!! Hands down the best Indian in London, we have been coming for 2 years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!!!

Since Indian Orchid moved to a new location a few years ago they are within walking distance of our home. This year, during the pandemic, we have dined there a few times, and also had several meal deliveries during lockdown. A comment on dining in: during the August 'Eat Out ' promotion the restaurant was packed. They did observe the sanitizing, hand washing etc rules, but I thought the tables were as close together as before the pandemic, so we preferred take away meals after that. The menu is wide ranging with all the usual Indian favourites, but you also find some more unusual dishes. Aloo Tokri Chaat and crispy bhindi are some examples from the starter menu, as is the vegetable Garhwali masala main dish. Some of their dhals are also excellent, especially tadka dhal and the Hyderabadi dhal. We became vegetarian a couple of years ago, so cannot comment on the non veg food. Flavours vary according to the dish, as everything is cooked fresh to order. The odd dish is a little bit oily for our liking, but that is quite are.Three plates plus nan are usually more than enough for two of us, and we have to take a doggy bag home. If we order four dishes for home delivery we can actually have two dinners, so the price works out to be fairly moderate, usually between GBP25 and GBP40 if no alcohol is involved. Service is always pleasant and obliging. A good place to have in the local area!

Been here many times. Never fail to impress. Good food all the time and very good service. Good atmosphere. Good selection of veg and non veg food. Highly recommend

I would rate it as poor on taste of food but 5* for staff and service. We left without ordering the mains as the starters were not good .I would not recommend this for Indian food but saying that the restaurant was full so I assume locals do like it. I would not visit it ever
