Curry Leaf Coulsdon - Indian/Bangladeshi Restaurant — Restaurant in London

We ordered through the restaurants website at 18:15, we called at 19:35 as the food was meant to arrive by 19:30, there was a lot of conversation I could hear in the background, the guy came back on the phone and said it would be another 20 minutes. I told him we would come and collect but had the food been made? The guy insisted it had and he was just waiting for his driver to come back and it would be ready. We couldn't get through on the phone at 20:00 so we decided to head there and collect it. I did manage to get through and the guy said it was ready so it was ok for my husband and collect if that was easier. My husband arrived and we were told the food wasn't ready. We said we would take a refund as by this time it had been over two hours. The guy apparently processed the refund and then someone came out and said the food was ready and we needed to pay again for the whole meal. We decided to leave, the kitchen was a mess and we didn't want to pay £65 for a meal that had been made in a rush. I understand its Saturday night and busy, but I'm not happy when I asked if the food had been made at 19:35 when I called the guy promised me it had and that they were just waiting for the driver. I would have had more respect if they were just honest rather than lying to us. Not a great experience.

Hi thanks for your reply, its not the fact you were short staffed, its when I asked you at 19:30 if the food had been made the guy said yes, we are just waiting on the driver when it wasn't true. Hey, staff illness happens, but be honest about it. We went somewhere else after the order was cancelled at 20:30 so starting having dinner at 21:15, 3 hour after ordering with you. Its the fact your staff kept lying to us, that's the...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Indian restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming ambiance set the tone for a fantastic evening. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home.

The food was absolutely outstanding – rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic Indian spices and cooked to perfection. Special mention goes to the butter chicken and garlic naan – both were unforgettable!

One thing that stood out was the quick and efficient service. Despite the restaurant being fairly busy, our food was served promptly, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

The overall environment was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated, adding to the dining experience without being over the top.

If you’re looking for a place with delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit. I’ll definitely be...

The best I've ever tasted!

Last night I ordered a few things from the starters menu. It blew my socks off I have never had onion bhajis that tasted that good. I had to go back tonight and try the curry and I was not disappointed!

The curry, a recommendation from the staff which I cannot remember the name of unfortunately, was just sensory overload, f'ing amazing! You will thank god you have taste buds.

The pilau rice, so good you could eat on its own. The naan bread so flavourful.

You might think they are paying me to write this, I kid you not. This is a MARVEL SUPER CURRY HOUSE everything tastes better.

I live in Dorking and you think I'm going to drive 30 minutes, passing many other curry houses on the way to get to CURRY LEAF...
