An Indian restaurant located close to Warren Street and Euston Square tube stations and Euston mainline station, Drummond Villa is popular with the after work crowd, offering affordable food in house as well as a takeaway menu. Efficient quick service in a pleasant atmosphere appeals to the always-in-a-hurry London diners who frequent the Drummond Villa with its unpretentious, clean dining room and well-spaced seating. Food here is typical of traditional British Indian restaurants, the menu an extensive selection of curries spiced to suit the Western taste, tandoori cooked dishes and, of course, all the relevant side dishes and sundries which really do make any Indian meal. Slightly off the beaten track, just off of the Hampstead Road and just two minutes walk from Euston, Drummond Villa is well worth seeking out for decent, realistically priced dining.

Tried a number of restaurants along Drummond Street and this a solid option with great tasting food and fantastic service. Wait staff are kind and accommodating and the food is prepared well and quick out of the kitchen. The decor is a little dated but clean and well maintained. The menu here is also not overwhelming but holds a good variety of dishes which will still tempt you to visit again to try something new. Prices are competitive although portion sizes are a little on the small side. I would suggest getting the same number of curries and sides as you have diners if you intend to share everything with nan/roti/paratha at the number of diners plus 1 or 2. The nan breads in particular are spectacular.

We booked to meet with friends the day before Xmas Eve. We turned up too early and were welcomed in warmly. A no pressures meal and no queries when I chose two starters instead of a main. The mixed tandoori went well with the salmon. Our friends loved their vegetarian thali too It was just lovely to have such a relaxing meal with our friends. Thank you

We enjoy our meals at Drummond Villa. We find the service friendly and not rushed and though my chicken dish was chewy on this occasion we generally find the food to be good to very good. Portions are generous and prices fair with our meal for 2 including 2 beers starters and mains came to £56 including service. We look forward to going again.

Enjoyed this dinner. Food was very good, service was above average, certainly for the UK, and for central London a decent bargain. We had the Papadom with some lovely chutneys to start, Chicken Chili starter, Onion Bahjee, and a Chicken kabob. For mains we had the Tandoori Mixed grill, (Chicken, Lamb and Sheek Kabob) and a Chicken Curry. Everything was excellent, for me the Chicken Chili dish was outstanding but how can you go wrong with Chicken, Tumeric and other curry spices and hot peppers all seared together. Well done guys!

Delicious food & good service! But a bit cheeky that they put papadums & dips on the table without you ordering them, then charge you for them. Maybe our fault for assuming they were on the house. Aside from that, the food was very good and the staff were nice.

I brought a group of co-workers to this restaurant. The owner was so thoughtful and kind to organise a table outside with shading. They brought us popadums, which was great because some of us were starving. The waiters and owner (?) were super attentive and always there to help and serve. They were well presented, polite and caring. The food arrived quickly and we had very generous portions of food - I overate, but could not finish my plate! I was happy we did not get starters because I'd be unable to eat half of my main meal. Overall, this was amazing experience - the best one we had with our group so far in London. Very recommended!

I went to the Drummond Villa having read reviews on this site...we had the madras which wasn't as good as any I've had before anywhere else, it didn't have much chicken in it either. The onion salad appeared to have hung around for a while and the cucumber raita seemed to lack much cucumber, the only redeeming feature of the meal was the chicken jalfreizi which was very tasty with some interesting ingredients. We found the waiter grumpy and unsmiling and we certainly wouldn't go there again.
