• Indian • Balham

Booked 4 times today

A modern, glass-fronted Indian on the burgeoning strip between The Bedford pub and Balham High Road, Indian Room has found itself something of a haven for couples. It must be the serene whiteness (table linen, walls) and candlelight. Then there’s the health-conscious cooking using as little as oil as possible. Well worth trying are the handful of dishes unique to this popular local restaurant, a wonderful apricot chicken Kashmir among them. Chicken madras, and a super-hot chicken vindaloo are consistently the most-ordered of the ‘All Time Favourites.’

This is a hidden gem that needs to be promoted. The decor, ambience, menu choice, and food were all fantastic. Only downside personally was that is the location that took me over an hour to get to. Overall well worth a visit if you’re looking for a new decent Indian restaurant!

This. Place is a great find. Set in a grand old school hall, tables are spread out and private. Lovely Ondian food. We had the marinated prawns, the chicken curry, rice and spicy Indian veg and all were fresh and lovely. The staff are so friendly too. Highly recommend
