My last review in London before I head up to Yorkshire. Tonight, I'm going to the Indian Room in Balham which is rated on TripAdvisor as one of the best Indian restaurants in the entirety of London. Is it worth the hype it gets? Lets find out!

Hi everyone. Apologies for the longer video today, so much to review on this one. I will make a mental note to stop saying "naan bread" as well. In Yorkshire tomorrow, looking forward to it. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@Nick-ep8qv]

If your going to Yorkshire, you need to go to mergatroyds in yeadon. Best fish and chips in the uk by a mile

[@paulc1553]

Shimla Spice Shipley, Pizza Pieces and Webster's in West Yorkshire are musts especially Shimla Spice Shipley/Pizza Pieces, pal xxx.

Thank you so much 😀 Honestly, overwhelmed.

[@hacendado3840]

I agree. No sensational headlines, no clickbait nonsense. And you don't spend half the video waffling on the way to the restaurant. Well done Gary, keep them coming. Great to see you getting out of London and into the sticks too.😀

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Balham is my 'maternal home' base. We visit; first stop - Indian Room. Close enough to the railway station. You got me at 'let's give it a go.' Eight of us pile in, and its like they are greeting old friends. Agree with everything you said about the place. Thanks for taking us along. Perfect review. Perfect resteraunt!

Another fantastic video Gary I dont have a problem with the length of the video as it was a pleasure to watch from start to finish. As a few people have commented the best food reviewer on KZbin that I have watched by a mile. And congratulations on smashing the 20k subscribers well done.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Douglas 👍 you’re too kind as per usual!

[@stephaniewhite9526]

Congratulations on the 20K Gary. What a milestone and you got there faster than anyone could blink. Its all down to your great honest reviewing mixed from McDonalds to Harrods, broadcast quality camerawork, and getting to know all your subscribers. This is without a doubt the best You Tube food channel & now roll on 30K !!!!

Wow. Thank you so much Stephanie - it really minds a lot that you think so highly of the channel. All the best.

Wow! Just wow! That meal just looked absolutely delicious, mate! Another brilliant video. We all love you, but not enough credit goes to Mr Cameraman. He does an excellent job of making the dishes look their very best. Top lad. And don’t worry about what you call naan’s, Gary. Honestly, such pedantry is immediately forgotten as soon as we see the glee with which you eat and enjoy the food. Cheers, mate!

My new favourite food review channel. I like that you break down the value for money element of the meals you review and not just the quality of the food. Also, go ahead and call it naan bread - I give you permission on behalf of the asian community lol. Anyone who's that pedantic about language isn't worth bothering with.

[@GaryEats]

I appreciate that Shahid, many thanks! It's been a habit my whole life and was educated on it a few years ago but kept doing it. Thank you mate and I'm wishing you all the best.

Gary, I'm addicted to your channel! What I love about you is you are quite obviously a foodie before you are a vlogger. And more importantly, I've been to a lot of the places you have reviewed and find myself very much in line with your opinions on these places! Keep up the great work Gary, you have a new fan in me!

[@kleemusic546]

Gary, your channel is brilliant! You are a natural presenter. Also the Phaal Curry challenge is a great idea. But be careful. A similar challenge many years ago resulted in a contestant being carried out of the curry house! 😅

[@GaryEats]

Thank you. Oh my lord, have you got the story to that?

[@kleemusic546]

When I was a student, if someone called "The Curry" it was mandatory for all to go as one and eat. Obviously, after many drinks and boasts, a wager was set for anyone who could complete a Phaal. This chap heroically completed his task, but collapsed soon after, having to be carried out and took home. He was, thankfully, okay.@@GaryEats

[@GaryEats]

Wow. Glad he was okay. Thanks for sharing.

Gary, because of this review, my girlfriend and I are going to check this place out in the new year and can’t wait! I’ve been following your channel for a few months and I love your relaxed yet no nonsense approach. What I also admire is the realistic nature of how you approach every review in terms of value for money which I’m sure a lot of people who follow you can agree is invaluable at times like this. If you are ever in the Guildford area, I highly recommend and would love to hear your thoughts on a Spanish restaurant called La Casita. All the best Gary, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. 👍

You’re very kind my friend - hope you have a wonderful time. The lamb chops are truly incredible. I will add it to my list. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

[@GaryEats]

Oh I had to have a munch on it Dan. Only used a knife and fork so that everyone could see the inside. Thank you!

[@geordiejones2]

Wow Gary and Mr Cameraman what can i say on this review. You really did hit a 10 out of 10 place, and with that pre booking of 30% off, you got a 5 star curry for two for £20 a head, NO ONE can criticise that. I must admit im a big Lamb man and so love Tandoori Lamb chops, and it appears you hit on some mouth watering ones here. I absolutely loved the presentation of the food, and those extra touches of the garnish on the top really show the place cares, also hot plates are such a must for myself, and you certainty got them. All fresh all local no artificial colours or preservatives, its a no brainer for me a defiant 10. Oh re the Phall curry, don't do it my friend, its more of a challenge than a nice food experience, and oh my goodness will you regret it the next day. I have been told some vindaloos are pleasant tasting, but even im not that brave. Chris.

[@GaryEats]

I think you're absolutely spot on Chris. It seems like a lot for one but easily two people could have had that. Glad you liked the video and I'm happy that like myself, you love a bit of lamb. Spot on, an easy 10. I am worried about the Phaal challenge and I appreciate you looking out for me! I like a Vindaloo. All the best mate and I hope you're well.

Not sure about the Phaal challenge Gary - you’re a braver man than me! Congrats on 20k subscribers, richly deserved. I continue to enjoy your honest, down to earth reviews. Keep up the good work! If I might make a suggestion for your next Indian restaurant review (excluding the mad Phaal challenge of course), Black Salt in North Sheen is (in my humble opinion, and - perhaps more importantly! - that of my wife) truly excellent - quite possibly the best Indian food we’ve ever had in London. Strongly recommend it and would be interested to see your take on it. Anyway, congrats again on reaching 20k subscribers, and looking forward to all the reviews to come. Cheers.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much my friend. Is it Michelin?

Another great classy review by yourself Gary. Your reviews really are a class apart from the regular reviewers. Not to knock any of them of course, but credit where its due, truly brilliant reviews. I've not been a fan of indian cuisine, but now i think it's because i have had some not so good Indian meals. I definitely thought i could sample this one, as it all looked simply superb. The lamb chops looked insanely delicious, and the dishes looked mouth watering. I'm not sure you should do the Phaal challenge, but i will watch with great interest if you do! 😊😊

Ghees actually good for you gazza look it up 😂😂😂😂

[@stevenhull5025]

Clarified butter (Ghee) is great to fry a steak.

[@OuterSpaceOwl]

Just what I was going to comment with. Ghee, butter and lard are miles better than seed oils. I've kept my weight down much easier by swapping margarine with butter and I use ghee for cooking food too.

[@GaryEats]

That's really bizarre. I've been told by many Indian restaurant owners that it's bad for you which is why they don't use it. Thanks mate.

[@OuterSpaceOwl]

​@@GaryEatsThey're wrong, Gary. Butter and ghee have a higher smoke point than most oils so are less carcinogenic when used for cooking.

[@robbyclifford3536]

I have to agree, ghee is very good for you, along with dripping and lard. It is actually seed oils that are very bad for us, they become unstable in the process of trying to get the minuscule amount of oil from the seed, and that makes them extremely unhealthy for the body. On my Masters degree in health, one of our colleagues who had a farm, made his own ghee. When we tested our cholesterol, as part of our studies, his was the best out of all of us, and on more research, we all saw that animal fats are indeed the best for us. Sorry about the lesson, but I just thought I’d put my two penn’orth in 😂! I love your reviews by the way 😊

[@ant777live]

Actually this is 0% Indian and 100% Bangladeshi food, like most "Indian" restaurants in England ; ) It's known as BIR or British Indian Restaurant style. The chefs including this one are nearly always from Bangladesh. Travel to any other country in Europe where Indian people make the food, it's not as good, trust me.

[@GaryEats]

They had an extremely extensive vegetarian menu which I didn’t mention or show you. You only saw a very small part of the menu.

Fantastic review. Deserved a longer video imo. I say go for the challenge. I like a bit of spicier spice in my Indian food every now and then - within reason of course. While I was eating a bowl of spicy Dal in a restaurant in Austria tears were flowing down my face but I was in heaven. My better half thought I was torturing myself but I was getting a real kick out of the tasty food!

Thank you my friend. I will do it :) lol.

Hello Gary. My favourite review of yours. Amazing !! Yes looks incredible ! I'm definitely gona go if ever around Balham. I also love the beautiful ambience from inside. I'm definitely gona pay this a visit in the near future. Ps. With the phaul challenge ( cant spell or pronounce it sorry ) ! I say maybe dont go for it especially if you dont like overly spicy curries. Personally I cant handle or like them myself and wouldn't ever try. Fantastic review !

​@@GaryEatsno worry I'm sure your very busy

[@Gazzaivey]

great review - thanks Gazz ! ----good honest description 👌

[@GaryEats]

Thanks mate.

[@marpop99]

These Indian reviews are killing me Gary. Would die for that feast right now. Great work.

[@GaryEats]

I'm sorry about that my friend.

[@Buddybrindle]

Gary, so glad I found your channel! I’ve watched lots of your reviews in the past month and enjoyed every one. Oh, please do the Phaal Curry challenge. That would be so much fun! I’ve lived in the States now for almost 50 years but have NEVER come across an Indian restaurant! Keep up the good work!

[@GaryEats]

Oh but I'm worried!

[@fionacotter4287]

Gary, once again another great review. Although I winced at first at the prices of the curries, when you said the total could feed two, I was happy. Poppadoms looked fantastic as did the sauces. Never seen a poppadom curled like that! Food looked amazing and wow, do I want one of those lamb chops, even though it’s not even ten am! Hubby Joe would be in his element there!!!

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Fiona. Can only highly recommend!

[@johnstokes992]

Dear Gary, Love your reviews. Must have watched about 15 now. You are exceptionally fair, engaging and watchable. Don't change a thing. Very best, John

[@GaryEats]

Hi John. Really appreciate that mate and thanks for watching so many. Nothing will change - thank you. All the best to you.

[@GaryEats]

So nice. Thank you my friend 😊

[@markgreenwood6630]

That meal looked unreal Gary. You got my juices flowing

[@GaryEats]

It was unreal Mark. Glad you liked it!

[@jasonvaisey6878]

Cheers Gaz, I'll be in London over Christmas, might check a few of these places out. Solid content mate

[@GaryEats]

Great stuff Jason. Thanks!

[@mattysowls]

That looked amazing gary! Love a good Indian. Them lamb chops looked absolutely phenomenal, the curries looked really good all nice and fresh. Looking forward to your upcoming videos in my home county of Yorkshire! All the best mate

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it Matty!

[@sutton513]

Really enjoying your channel, Gary. Keep it up!

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@jenniferforest5400]

Really cheeky of you ordering the lamb❤ I’d love a spicy challenge 😮

[@GaryEats]

Very. Oh I'm worried!

[@martindunstan8043]

Evening Gary👍just wow, that looked sensational. The presentation standard of everything from the poppadoms and rice to the main dishes was amazing, the lamb cutlet arrangement was a piece of art and so well cooked. If it tasted as good as it looked(which seems to be the case) then it could only be a 10. Only slightly disappointed that there was no gilet or 'chips are chips' in this one🤣seriously that looked incredible, as for a phal challenge, I wouldn't fancy it but I'd definitely watch you eat it 🤣cheers mate✌️

[@GaryEats]

Evening Martin. Glad you loved it :) sorry for the lack of chips are chips and gilet. I'm here to entertain! lol.

[@sennengomes]

“…as always…”… excellent review and explaining what aspects are really good. “Top notch, etc, etc”, & absolutely NO faults, then it deserves a 10. Glad you gave it that.

[@GaryEats]

Much appreciated!

[@chrischandler1420]

Another great video Gary keep up the good work

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Chris!

[@chapman7804]

I’ve liked and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for the content. I will consider coming here for my Christmas party with friends. Keep up the great work

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for the sub mate! Really hope you enjoy your Christmas party.

[@Allan.Phillips]

Hi Gary, off the back of your review I tried this restaurant on Thursday evening during my annual London trip, Wow, I was not disappointed. I agree the coriander dip is superb. I went for the chicken rogan Josh which was by far one of the best I have had. Thanks for your great review and recommendations, keep up the good work.

[@GaryEats]

Allan, that's absolutely brilliant to hear. I'm overjoyed you took my recommendation and enjoyed it!

[@stevekirkby6570]

Hi Gary - this looks a fantastic place; I do like ghee though (it's a good natural oil, unlike a lot of commercial seed oils) ... but otherwise it's a bit wow! The homade pickles look exceptional and the roast popadums again look and sound fantastic. Now the lamb chop starters - again it looks stunning :) Your face was a picture! Looks as though it was an OMG moment. The main courses look epic - generous portions and your description of the flavours makes me want to book a flight back to the UK! I hope you took a lot home for later, as you mentioned. The bread and rice looked fantastic too. I am really impressed as you obviously were. As ever Gary, a fantastic review - you really take the viewer on the journey with you. 10/10 deserved.

[@GaryEats]

Book a flight and come here mate, I'll go with you Steve. Any excuse to go back!

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Ghee is clarified cow butter!

[@stevekirkby6570]

@@YASTravelsEatsWell Obviously, I know that - I make my own. Clarified butter is an oil, and yea it's natural.

[@cliffocco]

I've just found your channel and you have had me salivating at the meal at the Indian Room - and also at Murgatroyd's fish and chips.

[@GaryEats]

Brilliant stuff Cliff.. glad you liked both videos!

[@user-ri4gx8wv7d]

Another fantastic show, like the other viewers posted. Love a curry popps & garlic naan favourite. Never done Phall utvdone Vindalloo xx

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and glad you liked it, I finally done the Phaal last month

[@edwardnotman1712]

Great videos Gary amazing all the places you visit and all your true comments

[@GaryEats]

Many thanks Edward!

[@Bigboy041263]

Brilliant review as always Gary.......With regards to the phall challenge have you had one before its sooooo hot. I would go for a vindaloo first and see how you find that then decide on the phall. Cheers

[@GaryEats]

Thank you. I haven't had one before mate!

[@POMPEYDAVE1]

Fantastic review as always Gary , WOW that meal looked top class. Chicken jalfrezi one of my favourites as well. You mentioned the phal challenge , be careful some can be so hot that you rarely eat the whole meal and just crave for water. I’ve had several and now resort to madras / vindaloo as more manageable. Slightly different but what about a biriani challenge ? Can ask for extra hotness as quite mild usually. I find they differ quite a bit from restaurant to restaurant to takeaway so just a thought. Anyway cracking review and as always makes me want to order an Indian following day !

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Dave. It was superb and okay mate. Hopefully I get a milder version - cheers all the best.

[@paulwright6056]

It looks like you had an excellent Indian meal and i am quite envious to put it mildly because my favourite local Indian changed hands and the standard has dropped.Your Tabdoori lamb chops would have been the hightlight for me as they looked delicious.As always you do a fair review

[@GaryEats]

That's frustrating Paul. Glad you liked the video!

[@bimlico]

Can't wait to visit London next and I will definitely be hitting India Room. Food looks amazing. Top class review.

[@GaryEats]

Please do! You're welcome.

[@shukyization]

What a gem Gary, I like that you found a place that doesn't use ghee and create their own fresh spice mix and local produce. My mother in law who stays up in London occasionally is loving all eateries that you've recommended. She's looking forward to trying this place. I'm based in Reading so I rarely go to London but I'll give it go next time in around that area. Good find Gary, and good price.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you mate 😄

[@shirleyanderson1541]

I found your channel by chance. I have enjoyed all your postings and reviews. You are very thorough in your reviews. I like your style. Would you review some of the mediterranean restaurants? How about reviewing Jamaican foods?

[@GaryEats]

Of course Shirley. I do have a Caribbean food review on my list.

[@user-ne6lp6xd7k]

Well done ,great achievement. Quality video with quality quality food as well Great Indian restaurant cheers

[@GaryEats]

Thanks a ton Steven. All the best!
