The Regency Club

This was my first time dining in a setting like this, and I really enjoyed the homely, warm atmosphere. The restaurant felt inviting from the moment we arrived, and we were shown to our table quickly. Booking in advance is definitely recommended, as the venue is often fully booked and can get quite busy. Despite being a full house — with a lively crowd of mostly male patrons cheering on a football match shown on large screens — the noise level was surprisingly manageable and didn’t detract from the overall dining experience. The food itself was well prepared. While the dishes were a little too spicy for my personal taste, my husband thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine. The meat was succulent and cooked well, and the butter naan was exactly how I like it — soft, fluffy, and fresh. Our waiter recommended the passion fruit gelato for dessert. Unfortunately, this was the only letdown, as it didn’t taste very authentic and left a slightly artificial aftertaste. Aside from that, the rest of the meal was enjoyable. Service was attentive throughout the evening, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Parking is limited, so it’s worth allowing extra time when arriving. Overall, Regency Club offers a warm atmosphere, generous portions, and flavourful Indian cuisine, making it a great spot for group dining or sports nights — just be prepared for bold spice levels and limited parking.

been having regency catering at functions for years but finally visited the bar/restaurant in person recently and was really impressed. we already knew eveything was gonna be good but its better in person when its hot and fresh. ordered a range of dishes, mostly the grilled foods and sharing dishes. the chai soft serve for dessert was a great end tot he meal, really really tasty friendly service and lovely venue

Thank you so much to the staff who brought water, coffee and nuts to help me break my fast during Ramadan. One moment I won’t forget. What a wonderful gesture, incredible service, chicken is halal and food was absolutely delicious. We ordered chicken, paneer and lamb curry, with selection of naans. The dessert was so tasty with my pistachio being the favourite. Absolutely 10/10 and would highly recommend for groups.

When walking in, you could smell the lovely food. Service was very attentive. We had been recommended the mogo and passion fruit juice. The mogo was good, and the passion fruit juice, unique in a nice way. Starters in general were very nice. Mains were good (not outstanding), but thoroughly enjoyed. Cocktails were also nice.

I’ve been here a few times, every time it’s been so consistent with the quality of the food and great customer service. Shout out to Abhay Jani and Kamal for delivering great customer service, very hard working and lovely. Will be back soon again! We also got mains but forgot to take pictures. The passion fruit gelato is so yummy too!

A Go-To Favourite Every Time We’ve been coming to Regency for many years, and it’s about time we said a big thank you. This was a special occasion for us with 20 of us visiting this evening. The food and service are always on point, consistently delivering a great experience. Stand-out dishes include the Lamb Cutlets, Kebabs, Wings, and the Regency Mogo, and for mains we love the Tawa Lamb, Lamb Biryani, and Garlic Butter Chicken. The staff are always friendly, quick, and very accommodating, which makes every visit enjoyable. Shout-out to everyone from management to the team on the floor — there’s definitely a reason we keep coming back for more!

First time went to try some different place and end up here. First of all about the food. So good with flavour. The masala and marination was spot on. The portion size also very big and value for the money. No complain of that at all. About the service. One of the poorest service I had experienced. So bad. From the moment’s we walk in they keep us waiting for the table although there are free table available. They inform the section are close but ended up seating us at the same section. So rushing to clear the plate while we are still eating. Very rude when they take away the sauce bottle while we still eating. Although we mention to serve the main after stater the staff don’t even bother to listen. Just drop the main once the starter was serve. Very bad and rude. No complain of the food. But the service was bad and rude. They just want to get rid of us although the closing time was 1hours away. Don’t rush people out guys.

We recently ordered a full leg of lamb from The Regency Club, and it was an absolute showstopper! Perfectly marinated with rich, aromatic Indian spices, the lamb was cooked to perfection tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour in every bite. It was clear that a lot of care and expertise went into the preparation. The dish came with all the trimmings, and they did not disappoint. From the fluffy naan and fragrant rice to the zesty chutneys and perfectly seasoned sides, everything complemented the lamb beautifully. It wasn’t just a meal it was a full-on experience. Whether you’re planning a celebration or just want to indulge in something special, we cannot recommend The Regency Club highly enough. Exceptional food, bold flavours, and flawless execution this is Indian cuisine at its finest.

Awesome food and great service- this place is always packed- make sure you have a reservation otherwise you will have little chance of getting a table.

If there's one thing you have to get here it's the daal makhani. This is the best one I've ever tried. I also really enjoyed the fresh passion fruit juice they make (it has some masala in it). The lamb chops were a bit chewy, had good flavor but could be cooked better.

You wouldn't think an upscale pub has Indian food of this quality...but they do! Service is great and the surrounding is good; our local friend took us there and I must tell you, when I get back to London, I'm going there again

Excellent food, service and ambiance. The Indian food at this location is high quality. I wish they did papadum and Onion Baji in the starters, but it's a not a big deal. The staff were very helpful with options and overall quality was high! The tandoori chicken is a must. When next in London we will definitely be back there!

I have been eating here since 2014. The service is awesome, and the food is always delicious. I always get chicken wings, garlic mogo, lamb chops, and passion fruit juice.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants in London. It's a must stop in for me every time I am in London . The food is always on the point and incredibly delicious. So far I have worked my way through the menu and still have more to go. I have not found anything I didn't care for. Only downside is the 2 hour limit to dine.

Took my family here on a Sunday, on our way back from Scotland. Met nearby family, so I could order more items from the menu. This place is amazing, always have to stop in at Regency when we come through London.

My fam and I have made this an annual tradition. My parents originate from East Africa and it is refreshing to see a restaurant dedicated to showcasing the unique dishes that come from that region. Inside of an old pub is a newly renovated comfortable, friends and family oriented environment ready for food-goers and usual pub suspects. Don't leave without trying the garlic mogo and the mushkaki!

My first visit was in 2004 when the men's club had recently opened its doors to women. A girlfriend brought me here and we huddled in a booth chowing down on the most amazing food ever. 6 years later, April 2010, I finally return to London and the first place to revisit is The Regency. This time we brought our significant others and it happened to be during a big football game. The place has a great interior. I can see how it used to be a men's club. The parlor lights remind me of a smokey snooker bar I've seen in the movies. Only this place is filled with Indian men shouting at the TV screens. The menu is very reasonably priced. The appetizers are the star of the show though you can't go wrong with any dish. If you're visiting London and want something off the beaten path, this is the place. Go early to get a table for dinner *especially* if there's a big game on that evening. I arrived at 6pm and watched the place fill up to standing room only within 45 minutes.

If you were looking for an indian equivalent of wetherspoons, this is it. It's essentially an indian sports bar that does above average indian food. Think curries and tandoori grill. Throw in an Arsenal game and you've got the perfect setup for a good evening of food, sports and decent priced drink. The atmosphere is moderately loud and didn't get too busy whilst we were there. Fortunately the place being in Edgware ensures it's hardly heaving, and noise levels are sensible. Staff were very good in waiting tables however they committed the cardinal sin of drinks. Serving Coca Cola in those tiny 0.25l bottles. There aren't many things hated more by the Cola drinker than that. However luckily the food arriving shortly after made up for that annoyance. The Paneer was standout for me. Extremely yummy and indeed spicy. Everything was just that little bit spicier than I would expect in a typical indian. This was after asking that some dishes be made "less spicy". The clientele here mostly being indian probably prefers a higher tolerance of spice that I appreciated. Unfortunately one of our party did not appreciate the spiciness that much, but made a fair attempt and did well at sampling most dishes. If you aren't a fan of hot though, ask them to tone it down. In all, the place felt like a wetherspoons, with a step up in terms of food quality. The serving of coca cola in 0.25 bottles is a near crime, but I think it's possible to get this by the pint, but basically beer is about the same price as coke here, so you're probably better off drinking. I missed out on the lamb on this visit, so hopefully the next time I'm here, I'll be able to sample more from their vast menu.

Dropped by on a busy Saturday night after impressive recommendations. From the atmosphere I could already tell I would be in for a treat as people were more than willing to wait the 1+ hours for a table. The highlight was the pulled lamb pizza which was a limited-time menu option during the Christmas season. BRILLIANT. The waiters were also very considerate of my food allergies so I was able to get a taste of everything from the garlic mogo to lamb kebabs to paneer, all of which were rich, succulent, and spicy in flavour. This place is great for groups and the occasional date (if you don't mind the loud/buzzing atmosphere).

Indian sports bar/come Kenyan Indian theme with a colonial feel. And absolutely spectacular Indian food. Don't mind the noise and TV's showing whatever is on - the food is next level. I've not had better Indian food anywhere. Ever.

Some of the best food I've had in Britain!!! If I lived in London again I would eat here every 3 1/2 days!!

A friend who grew up there (yes, we bumped into a cousin of his, while eating dinner) has been begging me to go with him for months. Last night was THE trip and it was worth every moment on the A1 getting there. Fantastic food. Just excellent. It was football match night so it was extremely busy (the table next to us turned over three times while we ate dinner), and noisy but that added to the atmosphere. It's a community all by itself. Go!

Busy Sundays at Regency. It was so busy that our group of 15 couldn't book over the phone, however they arranged a table in 5 minutes. Service was alright and food was pretty decent. The highlight was the mogo which I found amazing. Staff is mixed in terms of niceness and a bit harsh but nothing to complain.

We have been planning to visit this place for sometime as we have heard lots of good things about it. While its is a Pub and Sports kind of place we were not sure if children are allowed evenings so decided to go during lunch time. That's when a friend told us that Kids are not allowed any time! Decided to do a takeaway instead and gave them a call. The web site was well organised and the menu extensive and really promising. We ordered a Chicken Tikka, Chicken Malai Tikka, Jalapeño Pops and a Crispy Bhindi(Okra) as starters. Bombay Chicken Bahar (Mince Chicken and Chicken in a hot fenugreek based sauce), a chicken Biriyani and few Nan and a Garlic Chilli Nan. I was asked to collect in twenty mins which I thought was a quick service. Drove down to Queensbury and the traffic was bad. Reached the destination and luckily there was a paid parking available just in front. The facade of the club is tasteful and you need to buzz to be let in. The interiors looked nice and were dimly lit. A large open kitchen on one corner which had around 10 chefs working. There was a decent crowd and the folks were enjoying a game on the telly and has a nice hum. A separate counter for food order and my food was packed and ready to.i was thrilled to confirm that they accept AMEX as I don't get many chances to pay with it and headed home. It was a 20 min drive and the food lost some oomph. The verdict - mixed feelings about the starters. Crispy Bhindi (Okra) was good, so we're the Jalapeño. The Tikka's were good too but not exceptional. The Bombay Chicken Bahar was nice but too oily. The Nan's were standard and Niriyani was a big disappointment. My wife said that it was the worst Biriyani she ever had! Which I believe was a cruel thing to say however it did look like some Steamed Rice and a curry mixed together and that too not very well. Over all feeling that it was a pretty ordinary culinary wise and probably will go again with friends to try out their beer but certainly not for the food. Having said, probably it might have tasted better if I had it there.

I picked this spot for a birthday lunch due to the glowing reviews. Organising the set menu in advance was easy enough although emails asking for confirmation went unreplied to. I phoned them in the end just to be sure and they said all was ok. On arrival, I was really underwhelmed by our reception. The rather rude staff put us in a corner and ignored us, despite my questions about where my guests were to be seated and why there was nothing set up already. I had to wait til a full half hour has passed before we were greeted by someone more senior (despite asking to see the manager a number of times). When the food came, it was good, probably 3/4-star-worthy, but the actual service at the start really made me sad, especially considering I was there for a special occasion and had taken pains to plan it well. I was in truth embarrassed for my guests and whilst the service was much better towards the end, I would not return, nor recommend - as the food is not nearly outstanding enough to warrant rude waiters... :(

Excellent place. This was our first time and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and staff hospitality. The food was soo flavorful and the best is the wings for appetizer we ended up ordering it three times! Will definitely come every time when we visit from America again . Will recommend this place in the us too

The Regency Club is easily one of the most unique and delicious Indian restaurants not located in India. It has the atmosphere of an old school pizza parlor. The casual and youthful feel make it a really fun place to eat and hang out. (Indian rest. typically aren't places where you just hang out) They also have an Indian juke box where you can select old and recent bollywood songs. And if you're a football fan, fear not, they have TV's so you can watch your game. On to the food, the appetizers are delicious! The garlic mogo is the best mogo (casava) I've ever had and other dishes on the starters menu are also commendable. The mains are also great but unfortunately I didn't get to try as many of them as I would have liked. I went to Regency Club twice in my one week stay in London and on both of those days (one week night), there was a wait time since they don't take reservations but it's worth the wait.

The best Indian restaurant I have been to in London! It was previously a traditional British pub and Regency have kept those interiors which makes it unique. The food is incredible with fast service. The garlic mogo is by far my favourite dish! Spicy and so addictive I'm craving it now. Friday and Saturday evenings are incredibly busy so make sure you get there early to avoid having to wait. This just shows how popular it is! New dishes have been added to the menu and I'm dying to try them

Everything was perfect. The flavorful food. The friendly staff. I was able to enjoy a "Tusker" beer from Nairobi, Kenya. Never had that before and I understand it isn't very common. The karahi was among the best I have ever had. Oh, and as a huge fan of Japanese whiskey, the Yamizaki was a nice touch! I'm greatful my pal Vikram introduced me to this culinary experience! Amazing Indian cuisine. Enjoy!

Woah! Went there again tonight after 3 years! My first stop for food as I land in this fair city. It was as good as I remember it. Mix grill was great, but I loved the garlic mogo and the chicken wings --both the grilled one and the deep fried ones. And they know how to keep those pints coming in this place! I think I will have to make another stop here before exiting the UK!

Regency is a wonderful Indian food pub located near the Queensbury tube station. It has been recently renovated. The menu has extensive vegetarian and non vegetarian selections. The kebabs are out of this world. Service is courteous and quick. Reservations are a must specially on weekends. Highly recommended.

By far the 3rd best Indian restaurant i have been to in the world excluding India. Highly recommend it and I would say it is a must visit spot in London. You can take the tube here also which works well. I may have to fly back to London one day just to eat here.

used to be the place to be and eat at, but gone downhill now for the past 2 years, food is not what it used to be, and there are much better places to eat now in NW London Brent area, we are spoilt for choice so no room for complacency in this area! Also funny how all the reviews so far are by people not from the UK and not from the local area lol.....there are much better places to eat good Indian food in Brent, trust me!

Has to be the best Indian restaurant I have ever set foot in, let alone eaten in. Everything we tried from the starters to main entrees were amazing. The lamb kebobs and chicken wings are some of the best I've had in life. If you are a beer drinker, make sure to try out their original brews, sold by the pint of course! This is a place I'd be at every week if I lived in the area. No wonder so many locals rave about this place!

The best wings, lamb, mogo. Definitely a place for meat eaters, get ready for some serious food. Busy on a Saturday and they don't accept bookings, so get there early and enjoy

Waited for an hour from 5pm until food was ready to be ordered at 6pm, and was then told to move our seats to a tiny table on the back, so that a larger group who only just arrived could take our seats....couldn't believe it...we left....shocking service

I had such a bad experience here!!! I used to live in London a couple years back, now I live in the US. I came to visit London with my family and I told them how many times I had come here. I wanted to show them that this is where I grew up. We took an hour long train ride to get to the place, only to get turned down by the host who said kids cant come. We were devastated, the kids were starving and the place was empty and the couldn't even let us in. I dont know if these fools are going through a phase, but from the time I had come the place had gone downhill. We took an 8 minute walk to Everest which was I'm sure better than this filthy garbage place. If you have kids be aware to get turned down.

Im still going there. Coming from an indian, its by far the tastiest food. I was thre last in feb 2013, and I helped some non-indians chose something different from the menu!

I was introduced to the Regency Club by friends who told me I was in for a surprise. How true they were, what a fantastic place, you enter from the busy street into a wonderful warm and welcoming atmosphere, greeted by several members of staff who make you feel like an old friend returning after a long absence. Then you are introduced to the menu, what a selection and if you have any doubt's there's always someone available to offer advice. I travel all over the country and can honestly say the the Regency is by far the best for hospitality and quality I've ever experienced and is prominent in my sat nav if ever I'm in the area, the car automatically takes me for another great meal. The only draw back is that there is no accommodation, but that perhaps for the best as I would probably never get back home. Thanks to all the staff who go out of their way to make us all welcome.

I do not recommend this indian restaurant to anyone. Let me just start out by saying that I have had better indian food....IN MY HOUSE!..The quality of the food was poor. The service was mediocre at best. Dont let the other reviews fool you. If you want real indian food, go to East is East...best indian restaurant i have ever been to in the world!!

excellent food, service is ok, the down side is that you cant make reservations and the décor is very old!
