• Indian • Balham
Booked 3 times today
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.’

    Went to the Blue Fig with friends for dinner the other evening. Had walked past several times but had never eaten there. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the service was very good. Our waitress could explain the dishes on the menu that we were not familiar with. But the food was the star, two of us had the seabass, which was perfectly cooked and came with an amazing avocado salad, our other friend had the chicken schnitzel which looked lovely. The presentation of the food was really appetising. We also ordered the Cajun fries as we were worried that seabass would need something extra, it didn't, but so glad we ordered them as they were amazing. We will definitely be back.
