Simply Indian - London

Small restaurant close to Borough station. Fast and efficient service. Generous, tasty, and of course spicy dishes.

Tucked away but close to Borough Market and Tube. Small restaurant with a more limited menu than most, but the quality is very good. Prices are very reasonable, and you can take your own drinks e.g from the nearby Sainsbury store in Borough High Street. We enjoyed the goat and lamb dishes particularly.

Great food, great service, BYOB, gave me a table for one, which other restaurants refused. Very friendly owner and very reasonably priced. Should be busier, though I went on a Tuesday night.

We went to Simply Indian for dinner based on the reviews on Trip Advisor, but we were wildly disappointed. We made a reservation, so they knew in advance to expect a party of 3. Nobody else was in the restaurant. There was only 1 person working, and he did not speak English. He took our orders and after 35 minutes of waiting, another gentlemen showed up to help him. The second guy appeared to be the cook and it sounded to us like he was yelling at the first guy. We asked if we should change our order to make it easier because so much time had passed, and the second guy shouted at us. He shouted at us that we disrupted his concentration. Then after dinner while we were drinking our after dinner tea, the second guy left to deliver food. The first guy didn’t know how to charge us on the credit card machine. Finally after waiting 30 minutes to pay, we paid with cash, even though we knew he told us a price at least 20 quid more than it should’ve been. Such a poor experience. We would NOT recommend it.

Very good food, very good value, friendly service. Would go again. Would particularly recommend the fish and lamb curry.
