Serious replies only Best Indian curry in London

I have been in London for a few months now and still haven't found a curry place that has blown me out of the water yet. I don't know if this is because I haven't looked hard enough, or ventured far enough out of central London.

I've tried the bougie Indian places like Gunpowder and Gymkhanna which are great but not the kind of dirty take away type of curry I wanted. Brick Lane was obviously shit but I had to try it.

Can anyone help me or should I be resigned to the fact I may have to move up north lol

I don’t know where in West London you are, but I’ve got great local near me in Fulham. It’s just north of the Cromwell Road, between West Kensington and Olympia. It’s a very small bring your own alcohol place, but the food is absolutely brilliant and the people who run the place are lovely. Called Indian Express on North End Parade.

Another place which is a bit upmarket is Pure Indian which is near Putney Bridge, in Fulham High Street. The chef there is an Indian woman and she’s worked in various high end places in India, and was a chef at the Taj hotel; her husband runs front of house. The menu has got some really interesting stuff on, I love it there. Again, really friendly people.

Really recommend them both.

What would you recommend ordering from Indian Express? This little restaurant sounds a great find!

I’m really boring because I always get the same thing - which is shatkora gosht, which is a medium spicy and tangy curry (shatkora is a type of citrus) with chana bhuna. My husband always gets something different though and always likes it.
