Good halal indian restaurant in central London

[Michael Palaeologus]

Anybody get any recommendations for a good Indian restaurant in central London? Doesnt have to be expensive or posh - but it must be halal as the person whose birthday we are celebrating is Muslim.

Brick Lane has been mooted, but my experience in Brick Lane has been rather disappointing.

Ta.

Namaste.

The Top Table website allows you to search for Halal restaurants. The first one that comes up is La Porte des Indes, which I went to in December and it was excellent. Work paid for it so I don't know how much it cost.

Went to Cafe Lazeez not so long back (the one in Kensington - although there is one in Soho as well) and can definitely recommend it. Not cheap by 'curry house' standards but then the food is something quite different. If you're one for complaining if a 'curry' costs you more than a tenner (some people are) then it's not for you!

Brick Lane is to be avoided at all costs, unless you like (mostly) identikit curries for tourists and having your arm pulled every time you pass the door of each restaurant. That said, there is a MIRCH MASALA on Commercial Road, where the food will be fabulous and the bill will be small!

Both are Halal, I'm pretty sure - though a quick visit to either of the websites will confirm it (and give you and idea of menu)

La Porte des Indes is a bit expensive BUT is certainly worth it... one of the best overall in London (tu)

Best Indian Restaurent I've been to in Central london is RASA in charlotte street. Vegetarian and fish instead of Halal but should be ok? Anyway best tasting food I have had. Traditional Kerala food. Sat at the table salivating and trying to decide what to eat for 30 minutes...Staff lovely and mid range pricing. 5 hungry people with starters, main, two bottles of good red and dessert ?160.

What about Greenwood's, just off Leicester Sq? Veggie, so no problem re. halal meat, and it's good value too. Their breads are ace, especially bhatura.
