Chutney's, 124 Drummond Street London NW1 2PA

chutneys is a vegetarian restaurant that specialises in Indian food, particularly from south India.

you will find dishes such as dosas that you will not normally find in typical Bangladesh style restaurants.  A Dosa by the way is a kind of pancake rolled around a filling such as potatoes and chick peas.

 

The website for chutneys is http://www.chutneyseuston.co.uk/

 

 

there is a link to a menu here which is helpful though rather short on descriptions of dishes.  Don't let this put you off though.  staff are really helpful and they will explain the dishes to you

 

I visited this restaurant with 6 other people on Friday.  the restaurant gets quite full so it is worth booking, particularly at weekends.  We had 4 guide dogs with us and getting in was  not a problem at all.

 

I had the Chutneys special Puri as a starter.  this contains crispy bread bits and slightly larger bready bits in a spicy sweet and sour sauce followed by Aloo Tikka Chat which is potato cakes with chick peas.  I then had a masala dosa which is a dosa filled with potatoes and vegetables.

 

I was bursting full after this lot.  I had 2 bottles of cobra with the meal and it came to just under
£20.

 

In general the staff at Chutneys are helpful.  the food is of good quality and it is not greasy. service is quick and efficient.  my only real complaint is that the menu should have a bit more description to help those new to this kind of cuisine.  guide dogs are welcome as they should be everywhere

I give Chutneys 8 out of 10 and highly recommend it.
