   The korma was just ok. The food came really quickly so can’t fault that at all, and the peshwari naan was delicious. But the korma lacked taste. I know a korma isn’t for everyone but I’m used to them being really flavourful and creamy from takeaways and this was a bit more of a supermarket korma taste. Just not my favourite. I did really appreciate the free popadoms though.

   Used to swear by Holy Cow and recommend to everyone a few years ago, however sadly something has changed over the last year or so - I'm not sure if there was a change of management or chef. The last 2 times I've ordered it has taken over 2 hours for the food to arrive, often arriving cold. Putting that aside, the quality of the food has also decreased. Don't get me wrong, it's alright (which is why I'm giving a 2 not a 1), but its just pretty average now, when it used to be exceptional. Unfortunately, I think I'll be ordering from elsewhere in future as there are other local places which are offering better and quicker service.

   Terrible! I ordered delivery a few weeks ago from the Balham’s branch. Food was 45 mins late, items missing and they sent meat curry even though I ordered veggie dishes (I’m a vegetarian so I couldn’t eat the food). When we phoned they said they couldn’t re send it as they were busy, and said I would get a full refund. It’s been weeks and still no refund- I’ve called multiple times and left messages with promises that the manager would phone me back and still no response. Absolutely terrible customer service and very disappointing. Dont bother!

   Love the plant based menu. The vegan tikka and biriyani is to die for and the samosas are delicious. This is my new regular.

   Particularly average on all counts - we’ve used them in the past but would say things are worse that previously (which already wasn’t great). The chicken and kebab starters were pretty awful, particularly the former, and the mains lacked any real taste. Certainly not a disaster/just about ticks off the basics, but really not as good as it should be and far inferior to the excellent Balham Social nearby.

   Feel hugely lucky to have this as my local Indian takeaway - the food is ALWAYS super delicious! It’s difficult to deviate from our usual order - the paneer nawabi is out of this world - but I appreciate that their menu features some dishes that are a bit different from usual curry house fare. Vegetarian options in particular are plentiful! Our order always arrives promptly and piping hot; could not recommend these guys any more highly *****

   This place is fantastic. It's a shame there are so many bad reviews which are all basically about delivery - that isn't the restaurant's fault. We ordered directly from them (NOT Deliveroo!) and it came in about half an hour, order all correct, very hot and ready to eat. Food was delicious and so fresh! King prawns were lovely and meaty and had been tandoor cooked. Chicken was really good quality meat. Free poppadoms. We'll definitely order from here again.
