Lal Baag - Piatti

First time takeaway customer. Two decent size samosas but they were soggy and bland. Saag Bhaji and chicken madras also lacking flavour. Chicken chewy. The madras sauce not creamy enough and not rich in colour. Th paratha very thick. Overall not good value. Hubby had the butter chicken which he didn’t even finish.

Team outing after a long day of rehearsals. Venue is minutes from the South London Theatre and very happy to have a large booking. The food is excellent and it's very well priced. With a large group, it is always a challenge to get everybody served at the same time without things getting cold. It was a great evening. NB this is a bring your own bottle.

I get deliveries from here regularly and my family and I are very happy with the food. I was going to go for a change as we had a menu for Rajah Rowing club through the door and saw their 3.6 star reviews here. So I thought I'd compare with my usual I am surprised to see some negative reviews as have never in five years had cause to complain. Crispy bajis, great keema and chicken tikka. Visualizza piatti

My partner and I have eaten in Lal Baag several times and also had takeaways. Don’t entirely understand the poor reviews as the food (especially the chicken tikka masala) is the best I’ve ever had. We recently got a takeaway from here. The service was a prompt, polite and professional. Food arrived piping hot and full of flavour. It’s our go-to Indian in west Norwood and will be recommending to others here. Keep up the good work!

This is the second time we were refused service within advertised opening hours. We arrived last night at about 10-20pm. The door was open and the sign said OPEN. The waiter however, on noting that there were no other customers there announced that they were closed, obviously because they couldn't be bothered to serve just two customers. The message is to ignore their advertised opening times. They will serve you if it suits them, otherwise, forget it.

My partner an I arrived at 10-05 pm so ample time to eat and leave well before the 11-30pm closing time. It was almost empty and as we were about to seat ourselves the waiter arrived to curtly inform us that it was cash only and that there was a dispenser nearby. He then unapologetically added that the cook would be leaving soon so rather than rush our meal we just left. We've had many good meals here so quite shocked at the impromptu no cash, eat quickly and leave policy and the rudeness of the waiter. Visualizza piatti

Look: We all like Jason Statham. But Lal Baag’s Homage to The Transporter 2 has just taken it a bit too far. Dont get me wrong, the Lamb Bhuna slipped down quicker than Mr Status in his bicycle cleats but only due to the vast quantities of oil that they put into him. Wrestling with our onion Bhaji’s but unable to get a purchase on their slippery bodies, Jason slid seamlessly from plate to plate, evading us effortlessly. A lot of potential and a really moving tribute to one of the greatest scenes in cinema but sadly the execution was off. I look forward to meeting Jason again for a rematch soon.

Had a takeaway, all Anglo Bangladeshi fake Indian cuisine and not a good version of it either. Two dishes, chicken Balti and jalfrezi were identical, lamb dish no spices, matter paneer bland as was the cauliflower dish. Mixed kebabs dry, pilao rice lumpy and lacking spices. Naans OK but too much added sugar. The chef either will not cook or can't cook decent food. Real south east asian cuisine is a delight on the palate, with wonderful complex and sometimes explosive flavours, but this food was dull and bland, the opposite of delectable, so unappetising. Had I actually been dining instead of having a takeaway, I would have sent it back and left. I had my first curry in 1965, my first Indian...

My family and I visited Lal Baag for their special 2 course Wednesday meal. The food was overall very good. For starters I had a two nice crispy Chicken Pakora which was followed by the lovely mains Lamb Bhuna. Both dishes were great, the curry spices were so subtle that I was not able to feel any heat from the chilli. My brother asked for an extra spicy Lamb Korma, the chefs did not fail to deliver there. The Korma had just the right thickness to it and the extra spice certainly gave an enjoyable kick. (4/5) Service was adequate, the waiter was kind enough to explain the Wednesday special menu to us before we ordered. However, they made a mistake with one of our orders. Also, the waiter did...
