Agra Restaurant

Myself and cousins and friends get together every 4-5 months for a drink and a curry, and the Agra is our meet up. The welcome is excellent, and the food is always brilliant. However, be prepared for a hotter than normal curry. If you like vindaloo hot, order madras hot as it always a level above! They reluctantly gave me a chicken Naga as they told me it was too hot. I love it spicy and this didn't let me down. Yes it was hot and it was beautiful. I have now settled on the Methi as the flavours they produce for this dish is amazing. Okay the toilets aren't brilliant, but I've been in worse, but they are clean. So if you want authentic Indian cuisine at a reasonable west end price, visit the Agra!!

Excellent Curry - a brilliant Indian meal. There is the right mixture of traditional dishes and house specialities on the menu. Good value too!

I started going to the Agra when it first opened in the 1960s. Now I live in Canada but visit London a couple of times a year and the Agra is the first place we go for a meal. The tandoori chicken is better than any others I have ever tasted (over 60 years of love for Indian food), the hot nans are wonderful, and there are many other delicious dishes available. I have found service to be always pleasant and efficient. Last year we had a family reunion at the Agra, for about 20 people, including two toddlers and two babies. The owners were kind enough to allow us in before their regular opening time (on a Sunday) and the staff were infinitely patient and helpful. We all had a great time. It was a fantastic experience and one we hope to repeat very often in the future.

The Agra continues to be busy, sometimes even having to turn people away, because it is good value for money. I benchmark other restaurants against the Agra, most are not as good and few are better. One or two meet it on value for money. I have been going there since 1979 and have never been dissapointed. The staff are friendly, but not over the top fawning, insisting that you "enjoy". It has a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere, with a mix of all kinds of customers who enjoy good Indian food.

The Agra, established since early 50's may not be a contender with the 100's 0f Indian Restaurants in London that seem to think modern decor, contemporary lighting and overpriced items is what Indian Cuisine is all about. Having dinned there for many many Indian Restaurants, I can confidently say that you get more than what you pay for at the Agra. The food is of the finest quality and ok there are one or two dishes that could be better but overall the atmosphere, service and standard is nothing to compplain about. They have accommodated fantastically for three out of four of my Christmas Parties and have never needed to complain. After all, with past and present dinners such as Muhammed Ali and John Hurt, who am I to complain. The family run restaurants does what a family run restaurant should do, provide a service and warmth others lack! A personable service with no extra fuss!

This is by far the worst dining experience I have had in my life. The service is bordering on hostile, the food the worst Indian food I have ever had in London in 12 years. The toilets are best avoided at all costs.

Do yourself a favour go somewhere else, please.

Gorgeous food, lovely staff who give great adice on travelling to India, and nice 'local' atmosphere that I didn't think would be possible in Warren Street. I'm going back tomorrow!!
