• Indian • Balham

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.’

Delicious food and beautiful dining room with very attentive and lovely service. We had a wonderfully delicious and authentically Indian (my father is Indian and usually doesn’t like eating out at Indian restaurants because of how Europeanized the flavors are most of the time(he thoroughly enjoyed his food)) Christmas dinner. 100% recommend coming here and we will definitely be back

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.
