The best Indian restaurants in London that have won awards

A restaurant in East London called The Lane

The Lane restaurant in East London was named Restaurant of the Year 2023 at the National Curry Awards.

The Lane says its food is “fine Indian cuisine” and that it is “infused with only the freshest spices, chillies and the finest flavours.”

On the review site Tripadvisor, it has a rating of 3.5/5 based on more than 80 reviews. One customer said: “Amazing food, friendly staff and great value for money!” It was great and I loved that I got a free drink at the end.

Penge Masala in Penge

At the Euro Asia Curry Awards 2023, Penge Masala was named the best Indian restaurant in South London.

Penge Masala serves delicious Indian dishes prepared by a famous chef with more than 20 years of experience in the business.

Each dish is prepared using only the finest ingredients and topped with its own fragrant gravy, containing just the right amount of herbs and spices to make it taste fantastic.

The Colonel Saab in Holborn

Asain Restaurant of the Year 2023 went to the Colonel Saab in Holborn. It is said to offer “an elegant Indian fine dining experience”

Colonel Saab says the restaurant was founded by Roop Partap Choudhary and is based on his parents’ travelogues. He calls it a “love letter” to his family.

It has over180 reviews with a 4.5 rating on the review site Tripadvisor. One customer said: “Great food and great service!” The Colonel Saab team is very lucky to have Anshu and Chintu. “Great job, management, on the recruitment.”

Baseball in Soho

In 2024, Kricket won the Deliveroo Restaurant Award for the best Indian and Nepalese restaurant.

Its website states that it offers “standard and unique Indian-inspired dishes in a warm ambience”

On Tripadvisor it has a rating of 4/5, and one customer said: “This place is great, and the food is good.” They really care about what their customers say. A few weeks ago I was complaining on another website about how little paneer was in a dish because I love their food and wanted more.
