Fantastic find - Edit
Other reviewers who said this is not a place to go to if you want to impress someone are right but the food was OMG delicious and the bill was OMG amazing value. There are loads of vegan options, the owner was very welcoming and helpful, and the two of us ate the most fabulously authentic tasty food for £26 including service. Will definitely return.

Yeh DOSAti.. - Edit
Wouldn't think to go to a south Indian place and have anything other than dosa. I had the paper masala dosa. Pleased it wasn't super greasy as this is always a turn off. The "filling" is served on the side like the sambhar, which I liked. Plenty of vegan and no onion and garlic options. Extensive menu including north Indian dishes although I cannot comment on these. Parking available on adjacent roads. Would return!

Delicious and filling - Edit
Venue is simple, no frills. Not going to impress anyone by taking them here.
Read moreHowever, the food is delicious. Some of the other reviewers have pointed out some areas that could be improved.
I was really hungry and ordered onion bhajee for starters and chettinad paneer masala with pilau rice.
The onion bhajees were delivered as three massive, piping hot, bhajees. Yum. Meal in itself and only £2.50. Bargain. I do wonder how many calories I added to my life then though! 😂
The curry was piping hot in temperature and spice; just how I like it. It's indicated as maximum spice on the menu. Very tasty though there were cardamon seeds remaining in it, bay leaves, and some other twig-like addition. I'm sure all for flavour but maybe these things are better removed prior to serving as I was having to remove them from my mouth while eating...
Staff were helpful and friendly. Though I must add:- it did take a while for food to be served and I was the only one in the restaurant. Perhaps priority was being given to deliveries, I'm not sure. I also had to ask for water to be brought but when it was it was plentiful.
Would definitely come back overall.
Pros: Tasty and filling food, Good price, Friendly staff
Cons: It took a while for the food to arrive, The curry had cardamom remaining

The best south indian restaurant in the area - Edit
Been twice now
Read moreThey have very good knowledge of veganism, large percentage of their vegetarian menu is vegan and they can adjust dishes if you state you are vegan at the beginning
Food is freshly cooked, very tasty and authentically spiced
The manager explained that south indian cooking never really uses cream and that the main issue is ghee, but they cook to order and will cook with vegetable ghee on request.
Respectful and polite people, delicious food, clean place and if you can find the place tucked away between Queensbury and Burnt Oak I would highly recommend
Pros: Understand veganism completely , Very tasty, Cooked to order

Hello, are they strict about cross contamination do you know? Keen to give it a try but don’t want to risk ghee/yoghurt. Thanks! 🙏🏽

OVERCHARGED and TERRIBLE SERVICE - Edit
SERVICE:
Read more- It took them 15 mins to hand us the menu card and had to still be reminded for it.
- Water was served on being reminded as well.
OVERCHARGING:
First thing - They claim to know JAIN food and serve too. But, on ordering, I was told, JAIN food does have potatoes in it.
***Guys, please note that - Anything that has potatoes in it can never be called JAIN food at all. Please either get this fact right or DO NOT claim to be serving jain food.
Now, coming to the way they overcharged me -
-- POINT 1 --
- We had ordered JAIN "Masala dosa" which they accepted from the menu as "Madras Masala Dosa" and it's on the menu, priced at 5.50
- However in the bill, they have added something called "Matoke Masala dosa and charged us 6.50
- While I agree this is not abnormal, but at least I should have been informed about it instead of adding 1 pound each for the 2 masala dosas we ordered.
-- POINT 2 --
- Another thing we ordered was JAIN "Masala tiffin", in which they agreed to make the sub-item mini masala dosa as "Jain"
- I was served the dosa with potatoes and the above mentioned discussion about jain food happened.
- On being corrected, the waiter did exchange the dosa with the correct jain masala dosa
- But, he charged me 1 pound for this which was clearly the restaurants mistake.
On being highlighted all this, I was told there is a 2 pound charge additional for any JAIN item, which is not mentioned anywhere on the menu or the restaurant display anywhere. This obviously was not so right. However, I decided not to argue further as it was not worth for the amount which was just 3 pounds.
However, I left the place feeling sad at being fleeced 3 pounds off me, which didn’t feel right. Just highlighting for the sake of others.
Please hit the "helpful" button if this helped 1 bit!

Visit to Edgeware - Edit
Found this place via the happy cow app, and as it was quite close, seemed ideal. Had the idli vada starter , and then chana masala and very spicy rice, was all delicious, we had the paneer 65 which was really good, paneer can be quite tasteless, this was perfect. Service was very friendly and quick too. Will definately go back

Delicious dosa! - Edit
.....And fluffy vada, upma, tasty utthapum...I could go on..
Read moreFor lunch I had the mini thali containing all the above. Mum and aunt had a masala dosa each. My dad and uncle determined to stay with tradition, opted for a full thali. Delicious though the thalis were, we had to help Dad and uncle finish them! Mr me stuck to generous starters: a dhai papdi chat and their speciality sizzling paneer.
Although the restaurant was quiet at lunch time, the food and drinks were spot on. Under £10 each.
Pros: Excellent food, Cafe Style, Great value
Cons: Cafe Stlye

Delicious South Indian food at inexpensive price - Edit
Wanting to try somewhere different for lunch today we found this unpretentious neighbourhood restaurant in a subuurb of north west London. in spite of the basic surroundings (steel chairs and metal tumblers and cutlery on the tables like a workman's canteen) we were very pleasantly surprised by the range and high quality of food offered here.
Read moreFor a starter we shared a mixed platter which at £5.99 was very reasonable and offered more than enough fried and steamed goodies to keep us going to the main course. For mains, we went for a Paneer Malai - creamy coconut suffused with herbs and cashew nuts and a Vegetable korma. Accompanied by tamarind rice and raita we were hard-pushed to finish the generous portions.
For dessert we rejected the pre-packed frozen kulfi of many an Asian restaurant and went instead for home made Rasmalai (delicious, a bit like eating a washing up sponge soaked in vanilla cream) and Panayam, which was a kind of sago pudding served hot. Topped off with a South Indian coffee our meal for two came to £30, which we felt was very good value.
The restaurant also does an outside catering trade which several customers dining there seemed very interested in.
Pros: Excellent home cooked food, Friendly staff, Generous portions
Cons: Basic decor
