East India - Surbiton

I ordered the chicken biryani. It had a lovely aroma, well-balanced flavors, and a generous amount of chicken. The only downside was that it was a bit oily.

I hope I can stop fleing. this was one of the most surprising, satisfying discoveries of my time in london so far. a shady place with discard rates sounds anything but promising. we took the risk and went to find this well-equipped restaurant. it was full of non-indiates in it! our defenseman knew his job, and he warned us that a curry would be sweet and he could adapt it to our desires and behold, it was very to our joy. we had the Matar-scatterer, chapattis, veg biryani and poppadome. each dish was simple, not oily, delicious home food. I hope they are consistent and if they are, this restaurant is just a jewel.

I have been a fan of this restaurant since the 90s. The food is delicious, with generous portion sizes and excellent service from the owners. The retro 80s-style decor and furniture may not be to everyone's taste, but I find it charming. I am happy to see that they have received a 5-star food safety assessment as well.

The restaurant was accommodating with our group size changes and the food was delicious. We also enjoyed the bonus of half price. Overall, there was nothing not to like.
