Roti Chai (Dining Room) - London

We came here to celebrate our brother’s birthday we were welcomed nicely and that’s where it stopped !! We ordered some starters which were very nice and then ordered our main course The waitress didn’t clear the table and brought over the mains we had to request table to be cleared The waitresses need some training in customer service as do the management !! Then the food came which was very cold and we complained and the waitress just looked at us blankly !!! We have dietary requirements no nuts) we were not asked about any allergies and had to ask the waitress who looks at us blankly again and we were told if you are not ok with cross contamination we will not serve you Seriously do not waste your money on this establishment !!!

THE best Indian restaurant in london, tried so many but nothing compres to it’s biryani, bumped when it was first opened back in few years back and it never changed, must go when I visit London

Arrived early evening, the property has 2 restaurants, one on the ground floor which serves street food and a dining restaurant on the lower floor. I booked the dining room. Nice ambiance, we were shown our table. The portions were small. I ordered water and Barolo wine. Naan bread was cold, we told the waitress she brought another, not a lot of difference. Mains: Malabar mooli prawns coastal style spiced prawns, mooli, snow peas and fine beans, Prawns were flavoursome, but the dish was lukewarm. Raan e baluchi 16 hour slow cooked Welsh lamb shoulder shank with cumin tandoori masala, this dish was mostly a bone, very little meat and again lukewarm. Basmati rice was lukewarm. Haryali tikki: spinach, pea potato ‘tikki’, imli yoghurt, this dish was the only one hot. I explained the waitress the issues. She did not really know what to say. I asked to see the manager as I don’t want to pay £200 for cold food. No one arrived. We paid and left, rather bewildered by the none management existence. Not recommended.

Lively atmosphere and great service. Small plates galore, make it a meal or a starter at the street kitchen. Chicken lollipops and Bombay behl a good combo. Can’t go wrong when they have kingfisher to wash it all down. I will return.

Excellent food. I have been here a few times and tried various options. The only thing I would suggest is having a couple of spicy options. Perhaps a spicy veg and meat main. I know it's quick and easy street food but as a spice lover that would be great. Other than that...excellent options and brilliant service.
