Amin Restaurant — Restaurant in London

I don't normally write reviews - but this was awful, so I had to.

I purchased a 'Too Good to Go' bag, so I wasn't expecting a five-star service for £5. But if you're wondering why this 'restaurant' has 5 star reviews, it's because they bribe you to write one in return for a free mango lassi.

The service was incredibly slow - there was 2 staff in total; one running around bringing food from the back, out of sight, and another woman carrying a baby at the cashiers desk, shouting about the orders. Not sure about hygiene because you could not see anyone cooking, your order was simply brought in from the back.

I waited 15 minutes for a pot of rice and chicken. It was simply cheap boiled rice with stringy, mushy chicken thigh that seemed to be cooked with food colouring to allude you into thinking it had flavour. It was rank, if I'm being honest. I had to wash my mouth out with some crisps.

The good thing — the portion size was decent. But I wouldn’t pay a penny for this meal, I’d rather have had a meal deal...

you're looking for a hidden gem that blends authentic flavors with warm hospitality, Amin Restaurant should be at the top of your list. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by a cozy, inviting atmosphere and staff who truly care about your dining experience.

The menu offers a rich variety of traditional dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and a clear attention to detail. The standout for me was the [insert dish here, e.g., lamb biryani or grilled kebabs]—perfectly spiced, tender, and bursting with flavor. The portions are generous, making it great value for the price.

What really sets Amin Restaurant apart is the balance between quality and comfort. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a hearty meal without the pretension. Whether you’re dining with family, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to something special, Amin Restaurant delivers every time.

The other reviews who score high most likely did because you get a free mango lassi. My experience was awful. Loud children's music playing on repeat. The place looks tired. I ordered from Too Good To Go for £15 of surplus food (to reduce food waste). He handed over a small bowl of rice and dried up grilled chicken which on the menu is £8.50. I queried this with him and he blamed the high cost of the food platform, VAT etc. I said he cannot advertise £15 of food but only give me £8.50. He repeated what he said before and said I clearly don't understand. I said he was being deceitful as he cannot advertise £15 but only give £8.50 of food. He asked me to leave and he started to walk to the back of the restaurant. I said he should be ashamed that he is tricking people. He told me i should be ashamed! And as already mentioned, the chicken was hard and dry and tasteless. The tomato and lettuce were old and soggy. However the rice did have a lovely slightly sweet...
