Vijaya Krishna - Wandsworth

We were up in London for weekend visiting family as hubbie used to live there long time ago. We both have travelled India extensively over the years and love South Indian curries and Dosas particularly which are light for travelling and gluten free. We both chose the Mysore Dosa fillled with potatoes and beetroot. Yum yum. They were crispy and light te true and fillings absolutely delicious.

Loved this place. Must without a doubt be the best Indian food we've ever had. We has the Lamb Malabar, Butter Chicken, Plain paratha (bread) and the Coconut rice. Couls not fault the food or the service. It was so delicious. If you can, go there!! Book before you go though, they book out quickly.

Another very memorable meal here, this time for a family reunion on a Friday evening. We travelled from North London because we had enjoyed our previous visit so much. Luckily we had booked a table in advance, because the restaurant was full. All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food, sampling a wide range of the menu. The 2 vegetarians were delighted with their Dosa starters and the choice of the Aubergine Theeyal and the Sag Paneer. Both of the fish curries were also delicious as were the sauces with the 2 chicken dishes. The service was delightful despite the pressures of a busy evening. We shall definitely return.

I went to this restaurant yesterday and despite being the only ones in lunchtime had excellent service and the food was excellent. Plenty of it and cooked really nice. I would imagine evenings and weekends you would need to book as you may be disappointed. The waiter on taking our order said that we might have ordered too much. Which was really nice of him but we went ahead and stuck with our order and said any over we could take home. The portion sizes were really good and the food was excellent. We did have a little over and they packed it up for us to take home.

I visited here recently and was curious about a couple of things. Firstly let me say the food is of very good standard. No critic there. Its simple that the name 'Vijay Krishna ' and the art in the restaurant are at complete odds with the symbology and meanings of said name and art. The name and inner symbols are from the Hindu culture. Hindus are on the whole strict vegetarians. Followers of Krishna are the same. So, to me, it is bewildering to call a restaurant 'Vijay Krishna ' and decorate it in a Hindu style and then have a menu that serves meat? I am a pure vegetarian and was quite dissapointed at this feature. I saw the name and assumed it was a pure veg place. Dissapointed by this contradiction is my conclusion
