Meera Express 143-145 Ballards Lane, London N3 1LJ

"I had worst experience with them. I ordered one Khatiyawali thali, Bhindi masala and Sav mamra. According to menu thali include sweet as well but I didn’t receive any and farsan, Patra was stale even Sav mamra also totally flat Mamra(ideally should have puffy rice). When I called then to inform the same, the lady didn’t pay attention to what I am saying and started attending other customers. And telling me that I am alone and have lots of work to do rather listen to you and she is saying this is not my shop that you are telling me all this. I was totally shocked by her brutal behaviour, which I had experienced before as well. Very ill tempered people, never order next time and suggest the other the same."

"I am not one to write reviews on things but had to in this case because of the incredibly bad experience I had today. First and foremost I had to wait 20 minutes for the food which I had no problem with initially. However, I left the store to return 25 minutes later for my food to find that there were still making it and there was no other customers in the store. The food was another issue. I order the Meera special noodles but there was no flavour and the vegetables in it were not cooked at all. Also, I noticed as they were making the food the man making it was not wearing gloves which I have no issue with assuming all staff members were washing their hands. However, when I ate the food I noticed a hair in it which put me off the meal entirely. There was also many issues with communication with staff members such as the lady who took my order and payment had not communicated with her colleagues so I had to repeat everything again which the man at the front now after I had returned after 25 minutes. I had to repeat the order, the spice level I desired and the man even tried to retake the payment and I had to explain that I already paid. I just wanted a simple lunch but rather I got half an hour of hassle."

"I think this is one of the best takeaways in the area..perfect when you need that Indian food fix. I ordered Aloo papdi chaat it was a good size portion, fresh and tasty and still was crunchy by the time I ate it! Lunch time thalis are really good, chilli paneer and dosa. Definitely go there..try everything"

"Excellent Indian ready food , chats & snack Restaurant Wonderful service by staff"

"I’ve been meaning to drop by here for a while, after hearing great things about this traditional Indian vegetarian restaurant, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I had the dry chilli garlic mogo, daal makhani & chilli paneer. Each one was full of flavour, and a generous portion for the price. The freshly cooked chilli paneer was the star of the show, it was mesmerising watching the chef use the wok to transform all the ingredients. It was exactly what I expected chilli paneer to be, chock full of paneer not too much sauce. They were happy to accept card payment, and I thought the service was good. Be aware it’s a takeaway only, no seating (at least when I went)."
