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.’

    Really good meal. Lemon rice was a particular highlight and keema naan that was crisp and not greasy was a treat. My chicken patia was excellent- great spice and the Tarka dhal was delicious

    I am a regular diner at the Indian room in Balham and it always delivers. This visit was no different. Excellent traditional Indian restaurant fare but presented in a modern contemporary fashion hitting every note you want from a good Anglo Indian meal. Tentative service, food promptly delivered and absolutely delicious.

    Waited a long time to order food and drinks. Drinks took a long time to come to the table. Restaurant was freezing due to takeaway delivery drivers holding the door open. Staff did nothing to address the problem.

    The food was excellent and service impeccable. The food all tasted fresh and wonderfully seasoned. They were spot-on with their heat ratings. The restaurant is long and narrow and a bit tight. It was lively and fun for a group but it might not be your thing if you are looking for quiet or romance. It was perfect for what we were looking for. I would gladly return there for a meal.

    We had a delicious dinner! Came from Netherlands to eat at Indian room, because we read only positive news about it. We had a great evening. Thank you.
