Holy Cow - Fine Indian Food: Reviews & Ratings
A fantastic little Indian takeaway... The dishes are a real good mix of North and South Indian cuisine. You have to try the Saliza king Prawn, the prawns are so fresh and soft that they almost melt in your mouth.. The tandoori roti's are also good and they stay nice and soft when delivered. They do not have an extensive menu, however, this is real Indian food cooked well.
Perhaps the best take-away curry one can find in South London for sure. I've never tried the the Putney or Battersea locations, but the one in Balham hits the mark. Unlike some 'fast food' curry take-aways that drip with oil, I could definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients. I'm a freak for spicy foods so i usually order the lamb achari but have also gone with the lamb rogan. neither have ever disappointed as not only are the spice levels where they need to be, but the flavors match the spice levels. I left out the 5th star only because of the price. They do give out free poppadoms and the mango chutney freebie is off the chains. Keep in mind that it is take-away and delivery only. If you're willing to pay a little extra for quality, I highly recommend!
Consistently top-notch Indian delivery service. Becoming a little pricey recently but the ingredients are good quality, the delivery is reliable and the food tastes just fine. Recommended
This is THE Indian to order for take-out. From time of order the delivery time is around 40mins during the weekend, and perhaps slightly less on a weekday. The food is always hot, tasty and never a dissapointment. We tend to order the same food each time but never get bored of it. The chicken masala is delicious, and my fiance tends to order the bulsari salmon which he cannot fault. All in all, Balhams best indian takeaway service.
Really good curry - the Lamb Achari is to die for. Only disappointment was the Kemal naan which didn't seem to have much meat in... Delivery can take ages, but given it's just down the road, we tend to pick up :)
