Delhi Grill

One of the best Indian restaurants in North London, possibly the whole of London. Over ordered as usual but very pleasantly surprised when the bill came, fantastic value. Naan bread particularly good here, plenty of interesting specials. Go. Go now!

It is a proper Indian dabba and real home food. Ashiq Ali the manager is an amazing guy with sharp creativity. Love the food as chicken tk, goat curry and lamb chop are best in UK!! True! A great place for the cheap but best Indian.

My favourite Indian restaurant in London.

We have been fans of Delhi Grill since it opened back in 2010 and I'm thrilled that in two years, it has never let us down. On a recent Friday night visit, the friendly manager squeezed us in even though they were packed. (Booking at weekends is highly recommended!)

The mixed grill is still a smoky, spicy delight and a special of aloo paratha was authentic and delicious. Our favourite curry is still the rich and flavourful lamb rogan gosht, but all the slow-cooked dishes are good. Don't forget to order some dahl or a veggie dish - they're never an after though here.

I also highly recommend popping in at lunchtime for their daily thali, which is fantastic value for money and a perfect amount of food. The staff are so kind and efficient, it's a genuine pleasure to dine here.

Lovely place to eat. Food is awesome, maybe a bit too spicy. Service is fantastic: quick, organized, attentive. How often do you get a hand shake from a waiter at the end of your meal? Food was delicious, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Waiter happily packed what we didn't managed to finish because, as he said, there is no need to waste food.

I also tweeted about my experience and the restaurant replied to my tweet. How cool is that?

Spicy food might not be your thing but you want get better service anywhere in London, that's for sure!

Plain and simple, short menu may mean that too-frequent visits may get boring (perhaps the blackboard specials will provide the variety).

Only downsides I can think of are that the seats are hard, and I prefer fluffier naans.

Fairly standard Indian fare, nothing special at all, and serves "monkfish" curry that is made with a totally different (and much cheaper) fish, and claims that it is monkfish... the guy had the nerve to argue with me, I'm a chef I know what monkfish is...

I've been here three times now (before and after the positive reviews) and each time it was excellent, the only difference since the reviews is that it's a lot busier. I've been on week day evenings rather than weekends, if you want somewhere to glam up and go for cocktails on a special occasion then this is probably not the place - it's informal but that is the aim.

I love the style of the place - it is neither a faux posh indian (ie poncy) or a crusty old style Indian but a more modern, casual and fresh feeling place. One wall is decorated with old newspapers and the other with a large blackboard listing the daily specials.

The staff are very friendly and efficient.

The food is great (light and fresh) and very reasonably priced. The dips are especially creative at this price level.

I've lived in Angel for 18 months now and this is definitely the best Indian restaurant I have found in the area. I really enjoy coming here, probably more than most other (non Indian) restaurants in Angel.

It's early days but a very welcome addition to the local scene.

We visited the restaurant after reading the Metro article, and indeed we were not disappointed! We ordered loads of dishes just to try them all out (not that there were too many of them to try off the menu), and they were all delicious. My personal favourite was the Bhindi (stir-fried okra). It was definitely worth a trip, and we will be going back!
