Kastoori

Took my wife for lunch for the umpteenth time last Saturday. The quality just never falls. OK, so the decor isn't anything special, but it is definitely the best Indian vegetarian food in (south) London. The Kastoori Dal is as good as my own relations make at home. And we always end up taking an enlarged doggy bag home to enjoy the fresh chapati.

One of my favourite local area restaurants, this is a very different tasting type of indian cuisine with strong taste influences from the family-run owners who originally lived in Africa. Everything tastes quite unique and is very original. Mostly a quiet ambience and friendly staff.

Has there ever been such a pleasant surprise as the Kastoori Tomato Curry? No, I don't think that there has.

The food was excellent, far better and more indulgent than any other indian food you will eat outside of india. As said before, the decor isn't wonderful but the service is good and friendly. For a veggie, it was great to have a good variety of dishes to choose from and know that whatever you pick isn't going to be an after thought added to the menu so it 'caters for everyone'. I would eat here every week if I could.

I have never had anything other than a top meal at Kastoori. Great veggie food, with an eclectic twist, smashing staff, and the enthusiastic following which it rightly deserves. Staff ALWAYS happy to take the time to explain.

We went here two Saturdays ago, arriving early at 6.45 without booking. Don't leave it later thn that as they were fully booked. The food was fantastic as was the service. Both the guys serving took the time to talk to us and ask our opinion of the food. They even bough a sample of the bean curry that we had not chosen to sample. Well worth the money and a repeat visit

After reading the reviews I decided to give Kastoori a try. All I can say is AWFUL. The food was tasteless and bland and the service was deplorable. I enjoy a nice relaxed evening out without be glared at by staff or being judged because I ask for certain dishes to be explained. I was under the impression that this was a family run restaurant however, there must be a lot of conflict going on under the roof!
