About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.’

    What an amazing experience from start to finish! We visited for my mum’s birthday and honestly, the food was incredible! Still dreaming about the butter naan! 😍 Every dish was delicious and the whole family absolutely loved their meals. The customer service was truly top-tier! The staff were incredibly attentive, constantly checking in on us and making us feel like VIPs. Some of Central London’s high-end restaurants that charge an arm and a leg could learn a thing or two from the service we received here! The interior is also beautiful, making it the perfect setting for a celebration or special occasion. A solid 10/10 experience, no complaints whatsoever! ❤️

    This is not our first visit to the Indian Room. We have always enjoyed the food. The service has always been good. However this time we thought the chicken in our curry was a bit tough. We highlighted it to our waiter who was very applogetic and and we were not charged for the dish. I'm not sure if we will return to the restaurant any time soon.

    This was our first time dining at the Indian Room and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our waiter Abdul was so friendly, attentive and helpful which really added to our overall experience. The food was outstanding throughout our whole dinner from the delicious starters, stunning main meal and through to the pudding which came to our table with a 'Happy Birthday' written on the plate for my husbands birthday. All the food was so beautifully cooked and presented. It will remain such a memorable evening for us both and we will definitely return again soon.
