Indian Ymca - Carta

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

Wasn't sure what to expect but got great simple Indian Food and all you can eat too, just head towards the Post Office tower and it is near the base

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!

Breakfast and dinner came complimentary with our stay at the YMCA hostel. We loved the food. We used to have a sumptuous breakfast and dinner and they would change the menu everyday. Just that they are very strict about the restaurant timings and there was no room service available although they did alllow takeaway. Lunch cost £9 if someone opted for it.

Been on my bucket list places to eat at for a long time and was pleasantly surprised. It’s your standard canteen style affair with a good choice of regional staples, a vegetable option meats and bread. The spice level is mild/medium and on the smaller size but put together it’s adequate. Very flavourful and authentic, price wise very reasonable for central London and very popular with locals.

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.

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... Ver carta
