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.’

    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.

    We had a delicious dinner! Came from Netherlands to eat at Indian room, because we read only positive news about it. We had a great evening. Thank you.

    Booked for dinner and had a very enjoyable experience. The curries were very flavoursome and had a good spice to them. These were complemented with delicious Onion Bhaji and Vege Samosas as starters. Additionally, the service was very attentive as the waiters welcomed us and ensured that dishes were cleared after we had finished. I will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone in Balham.

    The best 'local' Indian restaurant. I moved 5 miles aways, but keep coming back. Excellent food, charming service and wonderful value. Highly recommend.

    Authentic taste with classy presentation. And the prices are surprisingly not high for what you get to see and eat. Fabulous, attentive and friendly service. I shall go back again at my next visit to London. Highly recommend everyone try it.

    A friend recommending this place and I’m glad we came here. Food was yummy. The service was super. Drinks were great. I was a bit dubious as I had a bad tummy from a previous restaurant experience (not Indian Room!). But I had nothing to worry about. Would highly recommend.
