Authentic dining in Southall

“A group of us turned up unannounced before they were officially open and we were invited in nonetheless. We shared the mixed grill which was superb. Meat tender and flavoursome, rice outstanding. Also some vegetarian dumplings which were delicious. Very attentive and friendly service from Kamran. Super good value for money.”

“We visited Watan as a large group of over 50 people and were very impressed with the experience. The team kindly provided us with the entire downstairs seating area, which made it comfortable and private for everyone. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our visit. The ambience was warm and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere for our gathering. The food was delicious, with excellent presentation that showed real attention to detail. Overall, a fantastic experience – highly recommended!”

“Although the place wasn’t appealing, the food was so good. Delicious home style cooking. Please do up the place so it doesn’t deter people - I went in because I saw many of the locals and you know what they say about a food place that is packed with the locals.”

“Amazing place to eat purely based on food quality. Makki di roti and sarson da saag was scrumptious. Bread pakoras, samosa, Paneer pakodas were delicious. A reviewer did say that chhole had a bite to it, which is true. But, it still is ok and doesn’t ruin the taste. One thing they could probably work on is seating. We shifted from uncomfortable place near the door to a better seat named “Ravi”. Yes, seats are named after the rivers. Overall, a great place to enjoy good quality food.”

“Great lovely staff. The food was amazing compared to other Somalis restaurants will definatly recommend”

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The North Indian food was authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Each dish was prepared with great taste and attention to detail. The staff deserves special appreciation – they were courteous, attentive, and guided us with excellent menu recommendations. What truly stood out was their hospitality. We arrived just after the kitchen had closed, yet the staff and managers went out of their way to accommodate us. They ensured our order was taken and prepared, which reflects their strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, this place offers not just great food but also exceptional service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic North Indian cuisine served with genuine care and hospitality.”

“An Exceptional Dining Experience! From the moment we walked into Giftos, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The ambiance was vibrant yet comfortable — perfect for a memorable meal. But what truly elevated the entire experience was our server, Kazi. Kazi went above and beyond to make us feel valued and cared for. His recommendations were spot-on, his timing impeccable, and his friendly professionalism made the evening seamless. Every detail — from the way he presented the dishes to how attentively he checked in — reflected true excellence in service. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavors. Pairing such incredible dishes with world-class service made it a night to remember. If you’re looking for a place that combines exceptional cuisine with outstanding hospitality, Giftos is the place to go. And if you’re lucky, you’ll have Kazi as your server — he truly made the experience five stars and beyond.”
