Akash Tandoori

When you walk in, the atmosphere is very nice. Traditional music playing and beautiful lighting, ambiance. Unfortunately, I’d say that’s where the magic ends. The service was not very good, just not very nice or explanatory. The food was not good. My boyfriend and I shared Chicken Tikka and Lamb Tikka and have had those dishes a lot in our lives. The meat in both dishes was sub par and the Tikka sauce had a very strange flavor. It almost tasted like tomato sauce or another flavor I couldn’t peg. Not like any chicken tikka I have had before. I can say this is the first time we haven’t wanted to devour every morsel of our Indian dinner which is saying something. Edible but not particularly good and not your classic flavors.

Best Indian meal we’ve had in a while
Lamb Tikka starter — ⁴⁄₅
Chicken Tikka Masala — ⁴⁄₅
Onion Bharjee — ⁵⁄₅
especially when you squeeze the lemon wedge on it & dip in the sauce they provide.
Each time we are in the area we will continue to order from here.
We used the Just Eat app & it came 10 mins earlier than stated.

Its food. The service is stellar, but I have to say, the food is inconsistent and for a plain jane who always for Chicken Tikka, its a bit scary to go in there and to guess whether the dish I like will be made properly. I want to give this 2.5 stars so i’m rounding up.

This has to be one of my favorite Indian restaurants in London — the staff are so so friendly and help create a lovely atmosphere. The food is great — I recommend the Chicken Tika Masala! If you love curry this is a nice little hide-​away

A good, smallish, neighbourhood curry house, in the heart of Nappy Valley and hence, in Battersea, rather than Clapham, to be accurate. My personal favourite is the lamb Kashmir, but the vegetable dishes are also not to be ignored. Naans always seem to be fluffy and non-​greasy, which is impressive. Worth a visit, if you’re in the area and need a curry fix.

Great Indian restaurant in Clapham — the best in my opinion. No frills, but the food is good and the service is friendly. Recommend the Dansak :-)
Open late — highly recommended after a night at the Holy Drinker.

A recent refurbishment has transformed this Indian restaurant in Clapham Junction into a classy, modern local. Cream linen tablecloths and a token fresh flower decorate each table; skylights and modern art picture frames give the small, narrow restaurant a contemporary touch.
Their attempts to modernise have been a huge improvement, yet as we ate, we were mesmerised by highlights from a 70’s Bollywood classic on a huge plasma screen beside us, which only seemed to have two protagonists. As we watched the screen lovers repeatedly run across tulip fields into each others arms in slow motion, I couldn’t help but think that this, along with the characterless cabaret background music, gave the place a whiff of old school, juxtaposed by the attempts of a new modern look.
The excessively extensive menu features a large section of chef recommendations, amongst which was my ‘Chicken Manchurian’ (£6.95), a rich, medium-​dry chicken (or lamb) tandoori curry, medium spiced, cooked in a clay oven and garnished with fresh coriander. My curry was complimented by the well chosen side orders of ‘Saag Aloo’, dark spinach and potato, abundant with spices; a somewhat smokey lentil dish, ‘Tarka Dall’, as well as ‘Bhindi Bhajee’ perfectly cooked with a garlic undertone (all £2.95). This vast array of colourful Indian/​Bangladeshi specialites (all had been recommended to us by the owner) was soaked up with probably the best naan bread I have ever tasted soft and light, thinly smothered with garlic butter which the owner was especially proud of and assured us was a secret recipe.
Staff were friendly and helpful and most diners seemed to be regulars always a good sign. The place was completely booked up on the (Thursday) night, so reservations are recommended. All in all, a pleasant Indian, with a good feel to it — classier than most, and a great local to have.
