Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Aldgate

Great service - friendly, courteous and helpful. Great food. We had 2 course early evening menu for £24/pp. excellent value. Sea bream starter particularly delicious!

Staff wasn’t too welcoming But food was really good.

This was our second visit. Our first visit was, by chance, very soon after they opened. We do not live in London so last night was our first chance to try it again, 14 months later. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is highly decorated, almost every inch of wall has Indian antiques and family photos going back a long time. The company has restaurants in India. The food, it is not a bog standard British Indian restaurant, they have several signature dishes, the sauces seem very authentic and there is appropriate levels of spice. You can ask for things to be milder if needed. We had prawns in 2 dishes, King prawns were enormous and the prawn curry dish had many good large prawns in it cooked to perfection. There was a lot of chicken in the chicken dish. All tasted wonderful. The service was first class, friendly and efficient, many staff ready to serve the pre and post theatre customers but there was no hint that they wanted you out even though the place was mostly quite full. The wine list had a good number of wines available by the glass, I chose a rioja and it was delicious. We complimented the head waiter who took us on a tour of the antiques upstairs and could tell us where everything came from, very interesting. It’s not cheap but being in theatre land close to Trafalgar Square that is not unreasonable. We will certainly be back when we can.

A wonderful meal with great drinks. Great team and amazing food, the perfect pre-theatre restaurant.

Really great service, food tasted amazing and I wish there were more options for smaller plates to share. Would absolute come back to try the rest of the dishes!
