About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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.’

    Always good over many years. Very friendly. A lively buzz. The manager is extremely attentive and engaged. All the food is good and some is great. Well presented. You leave happy as well as sated - surely the mark of a good restaurant.

    Really good meal. Lemon rice was a particular highlight and keema naan that was crisp and not greasy was a treat. My chicken patia was excellent- great spice and the Tarka dhal was delicious

    Another wonderful visit to this gem of a restaurant. Best local Indian in London, hence its popularity with me, my friends and many others.

    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.
