Thali & Pickles - London

Since their opening 2 month ago I have dined here over 6 times and was delighted every visit. Great flavours and spices and every dish was top notch. The interior complemented the concept of street food and the place always has a great vibe. If you haven't been, you should. Their other branches Indian Moment and Indian Room are worth a visit too.

Completely overbooked so never got inside the restaurant

This was my second visit on a Monday night, so the restaurant wasn't very busy, but we had great service and great food on both occassions. Ate too much but didn't regret it :

Really great dinner. Went with my sister and we loved the food. The menu was just the right size and we even chose items we wouldn't normally. Portions were the perfect size.

We visited this restaurant twice before for the Thalis which were great. The meal ends quickly so we decided to go and sample the starters , main courses etc and linger a little, The starters were bizarre. One called pav bhaji a small vegetable curry came with a buttered burger bun. Why not a puri? My partner chose some mini vegetable pies(can't remember the name . They tasted like soap. The curries were better but hardly special. A dhansak advertised as three chillies in heat was mild and lacked that sweet and sour flavour. My partner's Rogan Josh was similarly unexciting. The best bit of the meal was the poppadum plate with chutneys. Service was efficient and friendly, though what the manager is up to parading around in a suit all the time I do not know. He needs to get into the kitchen and sort the food out. Stick to the thali if you visit.
