Harden's says
A third branch for the home-style Indian mini-chain opened in January 2020; the mock train setting adds a quirky touch.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“The food is different and good” – inspired by the street food sold on Indian railways – at these funkily decorated canteens, in a nondescript Ealing parade of shops and a somewhat cuter one on Hammersmith Grove. Top Menu Tip – “sharing Thalis are a must, with great flavour combinations and excellent value”.
Summary
This West London pair of Indian street-food canteens, in Ealing and Hammersmith, elicits little in the way of commentary this year but wins its usual solid ratings for food and service.
Summary
“Delhi-style street food” from an “extensive menu with different descriptions” has won a fan club for these “fun”, “small” and basic cantinas in Ealing (x2) and on gracious Hammersmith Grove. Reviews this year however weren’t quite as enthusiastic as in times past.
Summary
“Some really interesting menu options that are a bit different from the average Indian”, help distinguish these colourful street-food cantinas, which added a third Ealing branch in January 2020. “The owners and waiting staff are very friendly and helpful” and “although conditions are a little cramped”, dishes are “delicious” and “good value-for-money”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
