Indian Ymca - Carta

Good options for vegetarians. Food is fine and quantity also sufficient. Taste is like home with balanced spices etc. worth a try

Great authentic Indian food with an atmosphere that takes me back to trips in the great sub continent. I can't wait to try their breakfast

The prices have unfortunately increased recently, but the food at this restaurant is always fantastic and served in generous portions. The kitchen staff are very friendly as well. Ver carta

Visited the YMCA Indian restaurant having tried this an year ago. Consistent quality of food, flavoursome but not too spicy in the heart of London. This is how home cooked food mimics in most homes in India. Far better than most so called Indian restaurants and take aways. Keep it up team. Kudos to all of you!

When we were in London in 2020 we walked past here an dsomeone coming out told us how great the food is. So in Ocober 2021 we decided to try it before getting the train home. Such a find we had 3 onion bhajis to share, a chicken curry, a wonderful fish curry, dhal, rice each and I had a mango lassi. There were jugs of water on the table, it was incredibly clean and there was plenty of choice. It cost £22 for the 2 of us, such great value.

A canteen that serves tasty food in a nice friendly atmosphere. An all you can eat lunchtime weekend buffet was £9 including rice, chicken curry, cabbage, dahl, curried vegetables, pickles, potatoes, lassi, tea, coffee, and poppadoms. It's a no frills help yourself setup and don't be expecting expensive cuts of meat or super vegetables but the flavours are good and authentic. In this part of London it's a bargain and maybe even rarer you leave the place absolutely stuffed if you want. The chefs are friendly, helping you out if you look a little lost and you feel welcome in a canteen that seems filled with happy people having happy conversations. Ver carta

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while after hearing about it through word of mouth. The cost is now £13 per person, which you pay at the reception. The staff serve the food onto your plate in the canteen area, and the choices are limited or non-existent. I found a table in the quiet outdoor area, which was lovely on a summer day. As for the food... it was disappointing. The rice was mushy and limp, the curries were uninspiring, and the buttermilk was average. However, a small piece of chicken tasted good. Overall, it was not a good meal and even at £13, it felt overpriced. The food seemed like mass-produced canteen food, so unless that's what you're expecting, I would suggest...

I had read about the ymca dining hall in a tourist handbook and had been meaning to try it for a number of year. Finally on this visit we were able to visit....we shouldn't of bothered on arrival you pay £11 each and tale the receipt to the counter where staff slop food onto a metal prison style tray. We had no idea what each spoon was supposed to be. It consisted of a cold lentil water,a undercooked chicken curry,raw meatball in sauce and a decent chapati. We had paid been served tried to eat some and had left within ten minutes. Indian is favourite food and have ate at many Indian restaurants including street food style and the best little ones you find hidden down side streets but this ho...

I was really excited to try this restaurant as I have been cooking Indian and Pakistani food for over fifty years and have visited India multiple times. I have a special love for Bengali and Gujarati cuisine. As we waited in line for the buffet, we were given a large chapatti and a plate of white rice, which was a nice touch but added extra cost to our bill. The chicken dish I ordered was just okay, not much different from a mild chili dish. My dining companion enjoyed her chicken curry, while the highlight of the meal was the Onion Pakora. The sambar dish she had was also good. Next time, we plan to try the vegetarian and south Indian dishes, along with extra Onion Bhaji. The price for a sm... Ver carta
