fantastic the chef needs a award brill we need cooks like this

[@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo]

10k subs. Brilliant. Congrats DJ. Onwards mate

[@mikekaraoke]

Enjoyable video Darren, been here twice before! Was only shown on Homes Under the Hammer a month ago when someone bought a house on auction in this part of London! When they showed the street it was in..... You also forgot to say about the 12% service charge they also add on.

[@dianecornwell387]

Looked amazing!!! I will definitely share your videos.

[@tommitchell5315]

Love Indian food. The great thing about living in London is that you spoilt for choice for some great places and types of food.Living not far from Tooting there are some great Indian restaurants between Tooting Broadway and Tooting Beck.

[@greg9871]

Fantastic chefs! The real deal! Fantastic curries! I don’t care about the prices! My fav is a Lamb Bhuna 😁 Great video Darren. Cheers 🍻

[@karengalley3669]

That certainly does look “off the charts.” I thought the first lot of food was your whole meal and was surprised there was no rice. When the next lot came out I couldn’t believe it and lamb too, my absolute favourite!

[@WideAwake-bl7gw]

I enjoy videos where you can tell the people are really enjoying and loving the food. I could definitely tell you enjoyed this deliciousness. That was a LOT of food, too. :)

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Thank you so much 😁

[@carlconner1166]

Every one is going to the same places now so many people doing this now

[@pauljennings8432]

That food looked amazing!! OTC

[@geourgiou]

Yet again DJ, a truly outstanding ruby, always top draw quality.

[@rogerparkin843]

That looks delicious. I am looking forward to your Thailand adventure. I live in Northern Thailand not that far from the Mekong River. So I am hoping your going to get out of the smoke into the real Thailand and taste the food. I love Indian food and tomorrow i am cooking our family a chicken byriani. Great channel you have. I was originally from London.

[@Simon-50gtf]

Only 1 reason anyone goes to Thailand and it is not for the food 😂 In DJ case if Thailand is not located in East London you won't be seeing him anytime soon .

[@rogerparkin843]

Thanks for your valuable opinion 😊

[@geoffredrup9616]

I would be quite happy to eat Indian food every day for the rest of my life, but I would most likely shorten my life as I have an appetite like you! Looked superb, Darren.

[@linz347]

Another top drawer eatery there. The food looked amazing . Nice to see the chef and the other staff who all make the eating experience happen. Very kind of them to let you try other dishes, I am sure they knew you would appreciate and enjoy them.

[@DJsFoodTravels]

So good

[@Russ453hgf]

My God, that really looked a treat, Darren. That lamb , you could see just how tender it was when you held it up closer to the camera. Fresh spices and fresh ingredients meticulously prepared but all done with an added unique take. Whats not to like? That whole selection just looked so good. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I will take that. This meal was clearly off the charts Darren. A lovely find. You have great personal video editing skills, Darren. I thought your personal selection of Asian music was pleasantly soothing and congenial All in all, another very good video. Thank you,. .

[@glennmillard3497]

Great video 👍 Amazing restaurant that clearly has high standards. The food presentation was superd. As you stated, Im assuming it tasted how it looked, fabulous!

[@colindarroch4022]

That meal looked absolutely amazing I could almost taste it myself. That is a chef who knows how to cook. The face said it all Darren food that makes you smile. Colin

[@matthewharris3993]

thanks.lovely resteraunt and food.

[@davidnm21]

Amazing looking curry meal beautifully presented too👍

[@wino-jc3zu]

just on looks the food looked amazing has to be a 10 plus off the charts

[@margaretnadin8030]

That certainly appears to be worth a visit DJ. Thank you for sharing it with us. JimN

[@martinvegas1327]

I used to go to Sima Tandoori on Bethnal green road when i worked at Cordy House in Shoreditch back in the day👍

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Enjoy!

[@ThePensta81]

What a delicious looking spread. I can see why you wanted to meet the man behind the magic when food is that good. I'm sure his day was made knowing you thoroughly enjoyed it. 💙😁👍🏼

[@vaunmalone3064]

There's so much! Luke ought to be there to help you😀

[@TimK2646]

There was also a Bengal Tiger along CARTER LANE near Blackfriars where (near office) I have had many Rubies. They were gems. I am a Tikka Masala Fan

[@carmenboddis3927]

Hi Darren didn't you take the leftovers home . Work hard these guys spotless restaurant cheers mate 👍

[@abdulrob1401]

I passed by that’s restaurant all ways food looks good I mate come & try sometime

[@raerae1878]

Love it great new spot to check out 🎉 lovely setting love a barney!

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Nice elegant looking restaurant, tables could have been spaced out a bit more. I'm old enough to remember "Barney Rubble" 😂For me, the samosa didn't have the crunch 😢The rest were a fine spread. I'm not sure how you ate your meal with such a wide smile on your face 😊When you met the chef, the double take, made me blink😉The chef was a very well spoken man who new his craft. And was rightly proud of himself. A true creative artist. Darren, your honesty is a becon. Telling us of the extra things you were given. Brilliant. Allan&Family

[@sanjsharma8184]

Most Indian themed restaurants rarely get seekh kebabs right and we had that here too as it was way too thick. Thin and slender is the way to go as it cooks differently. You get more of that charred taste going right through the meat if it's pressed onto the skewer thinly. You also get a better balance of flavour and mouthfeel. It's these details that make all the difference. Good review as always DJ 👍🏽

[@jeffjones9792]

And lovely people as well. It was an excellent review. Thank you for taking us along. Appreciated.

[@sean-wh3it]

Makes me want to live in London

[@anneperry9014]

Wouldn't live there if you paid me. Shytehole!!!!🙄

[@Leehuss5582]

DJ...you really do find GEMS to review.....I am hearing you say "the Flavour" I can only imagine....what do you do with the left over food do they give containers to take... Wicked review Brother ✌🤜🏽

[@helenmiddlebrook1491]

Hi Darren, Bengal Tiger looks so very, very Nice. 🎉 Such Beautiful dishes, the Lamb Pasanda and Jalfrezi, set in the bronze and gold dishes, stunning. And to wash it down with a Tiger Indian Beer. 😍 Its funny at the beginning of your video, you saying, I've Heard about this place, have you heard. Very Funny. You are a Lovely and Funny Guy. 😍🎉🎉

[@HammersruleST]

[@nickgolding5786]

Good prices DJ for a sit down,what a super example of a clean kitchen.chicken bhuna for me , OTC,😅

[@justinbartley5245]

Nice touch at the end letting the chef know how good it was,people are too quick to complain but not as quick with deserved praise,well done darren👏💯

[@SteveW1985]

Looked bloody lovely. I agree trying new/different things is definitely the way to go, then you find new favourites. Lamb naga is my found favourite. ❤ as always dj

[@InSleeplessToronto1]

I am familiar with the old street area you were in. It has changed a lot since I was last there in London. I would love to visit this restaurant when I could come next. I will invite you and would be my treat.

[@emmarogerson]

That’s without doubt the most beautifully presented Indian meal I’ve ever seen! I could watch you eat a good Indian everyday DJ. It’s just your thing IMHO! You are our Indian King without a doubt! What a lovely find and how lovely to see you meet the chef! He looked so happy to meet you and hear of his quality cooking skills over the years! Bravo DJ! Wonderful vid. Til the next one! 🥘🍚💜🍽️🕌

[@66meikou]

That looked fab DJ! Lovely you got to meet the chef and he was a very humble bloke. Jalfrezi is my go to and your's looked the business. You had a nice touch with getting the extras. Well done mate!

[@pkyid]

I’m always in that area somehow missed the place so that’s good to know! And the reason I watch these channels

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Glad to help

[@paulinekirkham7945]

Looks fantastic Darren I adore all those dishes. Also love dupiaza, balti and birianii.complemented by egg fried and mushroom rice. Ģreat restaurant.

[@MarkmanOTW]

Great job, Darren. That's another one ony list. 👍

[@colinfitten1322]

Sod the price looks like real 😊quality

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Agreed

[@richardgetlevog3123]

Lovely looking Indian food there DJ. Looked so succulent and great you got to meet the chef too🙂👍

[@scotty6346]

Look at the menu, Jalfrezy or Jalfrezi? 😂 The food looked great, That starter platter alone would have stuffed me Darren! I can't believe you ate all that! I would have to be winched out by a crane after eating that lot! Good effort! 🤣BTW jalfrezi is my favourite Indian dish with a Dhansak, Biriyani or Bhuna a close 2nd! 👌It's great to find an Indian restaurant like this that you can go out out to (LoL) again and again and get a decent curry rather than trying out new places and getting a naff curry for your hard earned 👍

[@palace1439]

Wow DJ easily enough food for two. Please say you gad a dogy bag.

[@BettyBoopey]

All my favourite dishes 😋 Looked Lovely 👌 Lizzie 🤗👌🥰

​@@DJsFoodTravels Yes Mate we did 👍🏽

[@fishwarrant6355]

You could have still given the price's even if you didn't pay so us subscribers know. My opinion 😉

[@kiranpatel6521]

Ask me, what item you want a price for? I'll Google the place and check their menu out, then revert with the price?

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Did you watch all the video??

[@fishwarrant6355]

​@DJsFoodTravels yes I did just because you was given it to try, Us normal putter won't so I'll like the price 😉. What is your problem Darren giving the price 🤔

[@fishwarrant6355]

​@@kiranpatel6521I know the price of the curry and starter 😊so the rest of the food is what I'll like 👍 👌

I would have asked for a "doggie bag" and taken that home ! Pretty sure you didnt eat it all , but it looked amazing . I don,t go to London often but when i retire ,with my free travel ,i may well just do that . Well ,if you can come to Carshalton ,i,m sure i can do the same .

[@Simon-50gtf]

Asking for a doggy bag when it's all free of charge is a bit of a no no ...to most anyway.

Google Streetview. A banner showing, "20% off during their Grand Opening in July 2022". Known as Thai City in Dec 2021. Not a lotta people know people that. Michael Caine. And no vegetarian main dishes. Lots of sides though, including Onioned-BARNEY! What camera(s) do you use? You said you used a 360' when it was empty. A 360' when walking too? I'm looking to buy a 360' camera and your works. And something steady you use to film you eating? You seem to adjust the pan/tilt and zoom with ease whilst talking. Fascinating to follow you.

[@marksawyer3132]

Wow that looked amazing, nice touch to meet the chef and give feed back, I'm sure they appreciate the fact someone loves what they produce. We'll done Darren
