BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN STROUD GREEN

liz_g

Has something happened to it recently eg new management?  I noticed recently that it's now called 'new exotic of india' - hope it's still as good as it was before!

Is it recommended?

<P>No.  The one time I tried it - a Xmas Eve and Dinner Box was closed - the food was truly awful.  Gristly, over-cooked and over-salted food.  Never again.</P> <P>Dinner Box/Express for take-aways.  Yak & Yeti for dine-in.</P> <P>Leave EoI well alone.</P>

I had a simple lamb bhuna and a garlic naan from EoI and found them distinctly middle of the road I must say. I will be trying Dhonia on Tollington Park next as they have byob

Does no-one remember Medi and the VENEZIA BEST PIZZERIA debacle? I've been here too long.

Exotic of India is no more. We’re getting an Eritrean restaurant specialising in zigni.

Arkady

Yes! Oh happy day. Though the effect of increased injera intake on my paunch really doesn't bear thinking about.

When do they open?

Any recommendations for Indian takeaway then?

Dhonia, lovely people and lovely food

Scruffy

I second Dhonia. Might be generally on the mild side for some pallettes, but always satisfying. Good service too.

If you're looking for something a cut above the better high street Indian, try The Sitara, on the Archway end of Holloway Rd.

I always get my curry made extra hot, or 'Thai Spicy'

Never made it to The Sitarar a do they actually have jazz?

fwiw

To be fair to the Exotic, they'd always gladly power-up any dish nicely on request (e.g. vindaloo-level dhansak my personal favourite) which many places don't do well (or only do very slightly) presumably fearing they might make it too hot. It was always properly "cooked-in" hot, not just throw in some extra chillis.

And as a steady customer over many years I always received polite and efficient service there, so nothing to complain about.

Only ever in there once. A meat-eating friend who loved Jai Krishna, my favourite, wanted to have meat on one of our meet-ups. A bit too old school in decor and service, but lovely food.

The new Eritrean restaurant seems to have appeared, but it was closed when I went past yesterday lunchtime. Anyone know more? I am intrigued.

HolbornFox

I didn't think it had opened yet?

I am hoping they will do a decent Doro Wat

trainspotter

Actually yes, today it was more obviously not ready - but the sign has gone up so hopefully it won't be long

Scruffy

Sorry for the late reply, @HolbornFox , but yes, Sitara did have jazz playing whenever I've been there. Sounded like East Coast 60's and 70's jazz to me, but I'm no aficionado.

New place has opened. Looked like they were doing a buffet at lunch today
