The Best Western Indian Restaurants in London | Eater London

"Enormously popular with the local Goan community, this inexpensive, homely café is run by a family in which the friendly, welcoming husband works front of house, and his wife cooks in the kitchen — with him and his mother chipping in when needed. On Goan feast days, the place is packed with crowds from church service; and when there are no tables available, they eat standing up. Mackerel curry is the most loved dish here (as was pork vindaloo, until they stopped serving it). Among staples such as chorizo bread, ros omelette, and chicken xacuti, there’s also green beef with coriander leaves, tamarind and potatoes that’s not widely available elsewhere. Mixed bhaji — dried white pea stew served alongside spiced potatoes — is basic but has a good flavour, and comes with a warm, hefty pav. Unlike most other Goan restaurants, the dishes on the short menu are resolutely Goan and not generically Indian." - Sejal Sukhadwala
