Had an awful experience dining there with a few colleagues. I have had ordered chicken chow mein and they brought me the veg chow mein. I did not say anything but the problem was that it did not look like anything close to chow mein. I couldn’t have it at all. They gave me a plate of fried chicken instead but that too was not good.Although there are Indian working there but the quality of Indian street foods are far better than one can experience here.

Website was wrong! Called a different restaurant halfway across England! Came in expecting my food to be done but nevertheless I quickly realized my mistake. Anyways, they were very accommodating and took my order quickly. Great food, great staff!

Very good value for money. Friendly staff who will advise you if you dont know what to choose. Just go and taste their fabulous dishes.

A friend and I wanted to eat at a restaurant that was within walking distance to our hotel . We were wondering around the streets undecided about what kind of food we wanted. My friend was leaning towards Indian and I was betwixt and between when we came across Motijheel. We entered with some trepidation as we knew nothing about it. And were we glad we did! The staff was welcoming and gracious and the food fresh and delicious. We could not have been more delighted. The prices were reasonable and an added pleasure was that were white tablecloths and napkins! Highly recommend it!

Cant understand the negative reviews. I use to eat here in the 1970s before moving away from London. Re-visited a couple of years ago (the same owner was there!) and it has hardly changed. This is good. Food is always excellent, the portions may be on the small side but the taste is lovely and the staff friendly. Very convenient location in Bloomsbury if you are staying in one of the hotels on the Euston Road or just waiting to catch a train.

Best lunch deal, 5 Michelin for food and service, best food near ucl with the cleanest linen and best food. Nice to relax also good for groups.

We had the fixed price lunch (about £7 vegetarian and £9 meat) which was very good value. Food was very enjoyable and the staff helpful. We were tourists in London and chose a very good window seat so could watch the world go by. Located in a pleasant part of Bloomsbury.

Great food at a very reasonable price. Would eat there again and recommend it.

Delicious meals, nice atmosphere, and everyone is very friendly. I have eaten here several times and will certainly come back again.

The decor is much to be desired. However good and cheap food. The house wine by the glass is not the best.

Excellent food. Great service. Thanks

If you love Indian food and spices, this is a wonderfully charming room with a well-rounded menu.

Lovely staff and really tasty food at great prices.The dhal was sweet and super-garlicky. Just as hoped.Would be very happy to go back.

The Chana masala was super bland. I’ve been vegan for six years. so it’s safe to say that I’ve had to dish every place I’ve ever gone. With London being one of the best places to get Indian food I was quite surprised how bland it was.

Great food. Attentive staff. Very polite and efficient. Highly recommended 😁

This is my local curry house. They make a great and affordable curry. I eat here regularly and would recommend to others.

Nice tandoors and thali sets

The food was very Very delicious. It was also spicy but in an enjoyable way. Staff was funny too. Definetely recommending this Place.

Affordable but food so-so, nonveg Indian. Friendly. Good location and you usually find a table.

Our experience wasnt that great. Food is quite average and in the end the guy asked for a service fee. There isnt anything written down in the menu about a service fee and to be honest, the service wasnt good as well. We dont go there anymore. I feel a bit scammed.

A miserable waiter asked us what we wanted. I had to point out that we wanted drinks. Bland food was then delivered. The worst curry I can remember.

They take customer service fee although they are extremely rude to some customers. I think they do not want to serve anybody else except native English people, I dont know what kind of complex is this. Such a shameful ending for a lovely day, very wrong choice.

Very,very good indian food here.I had lamb shank,balanced aromas on the mild side,super tender meat. All 3 of us was happy with the choice of restaurant.

Good food, good service, friendly staff. And although a bit cramped inside, a place I would recommend.

The food was undercooked. Chill paneer was more like hot paneer dipped in ketchup. NOT WORTH IT.

Went here with a friend. Food wasnt terrible but could have been better. Chicken was dry and it felt like the lamb vindaloo was more spiciness than flavor. The water glass they served me hadnt been washed thoroughly (but thankfully the beer glass was clean). My meal was cheap, friends meal not so much - so it felt like he got the short end of the stick. Waiter was standing at the other end of the restaurant looking at us half the time too which Ill admit was somewhat unnerving. They also wouldnt take card payment, which is fine, but they werent the politest in telling us so. If youre in Bloomsbury and reeeeeeeeally want Indian food, MAYBE try this place. Otherwise, go somewhere else.

This place does not honours the delicious Indian cuisine. Not at all recommended.

Dont knock it. Friendly and good value. Ive been eating here since I was a student living in a bedsit in Tavistock Place over 30 years ago and I still love the place. Sure, its not top of the range and hasnt changed that much to follow trends, but the food is good, tables are clean and theres no rush...Give it a go if youre in the area and ignore the negative reviews. I love it! You can even ask for food not on the menu (to a degree) as I for one love a phall - and its good, and of course damned hot. As it should be.

This is really good experience with motijheel restaurant and the food r really delicious with reasonable price which chefs do cook really good food Specially curry and lamb bryani. Staff are really friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend them.

Delightful high quality Indian food

Food was really good and the service staff was very nice and polite.

Amazing service and great food

Food was okay, the mango lassi tasted very bad (it was probably not fresh anymore), the service was not profesional at all and waiters werent friendly and asked us to stop speaking and to leave instead of coming a bit earlier and saying nicely that they would close very soon.I wouldnt recommend this restaurant.

Tasty food dishes

Good service, masala and korma were delicious, as was the pistachio ice cream dessert.

I would recommend to someone if I truly hated them. No flavour whatsoever, arrogant and rude servers

The food isnt completely awful - the daal here is edible and kebabs perfectly fine - and 3 stars / 5 for hygene is good - but the waiter who served us, a Bengali gentleman whod been waiting tables since the early 1970s, possibly witthout ever taking a holiday, was the most dour and miserable man Ive ever met in the catering trade. He didnt look or speak to you, preffering to grunt and sullenly slink away. He was laughably grumpy. Sadly, this is one of the better South Asian restaurants in the area - note that despite being a predominantly Bengali neighbourhood no Bengali dines in any of the restaurants. Have you stopped to wonder why?

I just order a meat (supoosed to lamb) curry with rice lunchtime box takeaway. What i got was about 2/10ths chicken and the rest of the box a mammoth of rice. Disspointed in the lack of curry and so much rice. Will not be going again . Food quality average. Dissapointed in my lunch and sick off people trying to rip off customers

Impersonal service, bland rogan josh, nice aloo sag. Not worth a second visit.

Bland flavours n even more bland service

The place smelled funny. We left without ordering.

Amazing food. mazza aa gaya!

Food did not taste good...

Food was very bland. No taste.

Just bought a takeaway boxI must say no taste whatsoever, and they filled the box with rice and a spoon of sos with two pieces of cicken in a cornerWould not recommend

Great curry

Dry chicken. Poor quality. Stay away.

Not Good.

It was quite late and they took great care of us. We ate very well and the owner was charming, I would repeat without a doubt!

The most extraordinary culinary experience in Indian cuisine I have ever had. A small restaurant with quality and good service. When I can, Ill be right back.

Very kind and helpful! You can also choose if you want the dish to be spicy or not, just ask!

Conditionally recommended. Food was ok, but nothing more. Had expected more spice and spice. The interior is getting old and is apparently still from its predecessor, probably a Chinese restaurant. Oral hygiene from the waiter was marginal.

Standard hook with plus for friendly staff and genuine kitchen.

Very good address with choice. And a good welcome.

Food OK but unfriendlyAt noon for 5.50, small portion but very cheap. You can even choose a starter. Onion badjee and sauce were delicious, Mattar paneer OK. The service was absolutely listless.

Nice restaurant and very good 😋
