Indian Dining Club — Restaurant in London

Offer of £5 off the bill enticed me to read the delicious sounding menu and hence place an order. I was so looking forward to the food when it arrived (bill came to £36 minus £5). My partner and I piled the Old Delhi chicken, Sarsonwalha chicken, the Dansaak. All these appeared full of Indian promise. I began devouring spoon of these different curries but lo and hold what a great disappointment they were. I literally had to go and get the chilli flakes and mango pickle and add these to my disappointing plate. The chicken breast chunks were huge and clumsy, dry and bland - none of those Indian aromatic spices had infused into the meat. What appeared to me was that the restaurant had cooked one huge vat of one sauce and douse all the dishes with this. The sauces were by no means spicy, hot - in fact EACH DISH WAS TOTALLY BLAND AND TASTED EXACTLY THE SAME. What made matters worse was that i recommended my sister to order too (hence yet another £35 down the drain). Put it this way NEVER, NEVER will I be ordering from the Indian dining club AGAIN. I (and my sister) want a refund as I was still left starving and furious after this experience. BREE from...

EDITED* They used to be great despite costing more than other restaurants,. Now they have massively cut back on the quantity of food alongside a pricehike. **We ordered from them two years ago and the food was fantastic. However, the price range is slightly higher than other Indian places nearby.

Having tried almost all the Indian takeaways around the area, we decided to order from them again today and we think that Indian Dining Club is the better takeaways, since they actually use high quality ingredients, the food are much healthier, less oily and not too salty, and the food feel like they have been cooked straight to you from a home kitchen.

It is definitely worth ordering from them, despite costing 10-20% more than the other Indian but they offer consistency and high quality and...

Just average. Not bad but quality of food is not what it was. Shame.

UPDATE 4th February 2015

Ordered a delivery from the Indian Dining Club on Friday and it was truly the worst meal I have ever had from anywhere (even soviet era Yugoslavia). Really nasty and most of it was thrown away.

I emailed them to check if they had some kitchen catastrophe that might have caused such unpleasant food to be delivered but received no response so I can only assume that this is what they are selling people now. Such a shame.

Excellent. Always great food and service either when eating there or take away. Decent wine list and weekly changing specials are always worth trying. Good website too - deliveries ordered online are always...
