L'Orient Indian Cuisine - London

Initially, I was skeptical as the restaurant was empty and seemed outdated. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing food, especially the Specials 8. The Indian cuisine was some of the best I've ever had. Well done!

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Hanger Lane and decided to visit this restaurant for a meal. Despite it being early on a Tuesday, the restaurant was quiet and had a nice relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious and I couldn't find any faults with it. I ordered the prawn puri and then the galina, both of which were flavorful and gorgeous. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I decided to read other reviews after I had already ordered, and I must say that I agree with the negative ratings. The chicken shashlik was not very tasty and had a slightly gritty texture. The garlic naan was also bland. I would recommend trying the Italian restaurant a few doors down, as it seemed busier and had better reviews. It's a pity about this place.

Ordered lamb dansak,mushroom pilau,matar paneer and cheese naan. Ordered to hotel. Bang on time propper delish. Highly recommend

I ate here last night, whilst staying in the area. It was a little disconcerting to be the only one in the place and the popadoms were stale, but everything else was very tasty indeed. It was a little pricey though at 38 GBP for 1 person!
