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.’

    I am a regular diner at the Indian room in Balham and it always delivers. This visit was no different. Excellent traditional Indian restaurant fare but presented in a modern contemporary fashion hitting every note you want from a good Anglo Indian meal. Tentative service, food promptly delivered and absolutely delicious.

    Seekh kebab roll, Fried Masala Fish, Samosa chart, Methil Aloo, Meat Karahi all delicious. Good selections for vegetarians as well. Staff were very helpful with menu queries. We went at 3:30 so wasn't very busy and had a very relaxed dining experience. The staff assisted with the birthday cake with kindness and care and willingness to make the birthday celebration a little extra special. Our table was next to the window which gave a great view of the outside. Inside was warm. Our second time here. Would definitely return and maybe try their mix grill. Many thanks to all the staff for a wonderful dining experience.

    Amazing food, definitely worth coming back for, and will be added to the top list of local currys! The restaurant was very cold. (Admittedly, it was a very cold January evening). But no sign of any heating and no radiators to sit next to that we could see (and we asked). Clearly, a popular deliveroo takeout. I will definitely be visiting again the food was absolutely delicious. Service was good.
