Harden's survey result
Summary
This basic-looking Keralan in Hammersmith is known locally for its “excellent” value – and in particular, “the breadth of its vegetarian options and fish dishes”. Top Menu Tip – “outstanding masala dosa”.
Summary
Its “appearance is very basic”, but this “slightly shabby” Hammersmith pit-stop is acclaimed by its local fans as “still some of the best Indian food in London, regardless of price”. “The host in charge is very charming”, too.
Summary
Ignore the “very downmarket ambience” – “authentic dishes” and “good value” are the cornerstones of this “first-class”, “cheap ’n’ cheerful” South Indian café on Hammersmith’s main drag.
Summary
“The ambience isn’t great”, but this inconspicuous South Indian café on Hammersmith’s busy King Street is “still a top, no-frills performer in a crowded local market”. “Service is very friendly” and it serves “gorgeous Keralan fare” that’s “always of the highest standard” and “finely spiced”, especially the “fresh vegetables”.
For 33 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).
