Gujarati Rasoi

Wonderful food, I've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants and this one is a real gem in amongst the try hard trendy hipster hang outs in Dalston, if its fill your boots then get yourself to brick lane. I for one will not see you there, you will however see me enjoying things I've never seen or tasted at a generic indian restaurant. For example, Patra, made with a taro leaf and spices, or the papri chaat. They really love what they do, and it shows, the food tastes great and its worth the money, which is actually reasonable. Good luck Gujarati Rasoi and see you soon :-)

Truly beautiful and authenitic Gujarati food served in cramped / cosy surroundings. My only gripe is the price / amount of food ratio. Mains are £12 which would be fine if there was a bit more food on the plate. Two flatbreads for £3.80 and a tiny dish of raita for £2.20 was absurdly expensive. Either increase the portions or reduce the price a bit - please. Nice friendly service though.

Great vegetarian Indian food - This is the real thing. No generic "Indian food" here!. I've never eaten Vagareli Rotli anywhere other than at home, Its tastes so good, so old fashioned, my grand mother used to make it. The food is really good, lots of detail, looks beautiful, layered flavours. The welcome was really friendly and service equally good. The price was good too.I felt satisfied having had a starter of Patra, my main was the vagareli rotli, mango kulfi for dessert and a masala chai. The place is small, but thats what gives it character, Its totally new york, small, lots of positive energy, modern with an open kitchen. There is a place for everything and my place to eat out is here. Eat with these guys as they are doing something courageous and genuine.

Just had a lovely lunch, a fabulous change from the regular Dalston offerings. I've been walking past this restaurant for months, now that they are open in the day I can finally join in the experience. I had the chapatti wrap, filled with a curried combination of 'tindora' and raitha, rice and apple chutney. Served with a salad. Great value, great flavours, great new place for me to have lunch. I had the chai too which was really good.

Gujarati Rasoi- this restaurant not only provided us with beautifully cooked Indian cuisine, full of flavour and passion, but a great evening. The interior has been thoughtfully composed and although it is on the smaller side, this only adds to its charm. A lovely experience was had by all and we left feeling full and more than satisfied. I would certainly recommend this to anyone wishing to try fresh Indian food in a great setting.

Come to this place, if you want great Gujarati food, home cooking as well as some classic street food dishes, then this place is for you. I read some of the reviews here and decided to make my own mind up. Really pleased I did. Great food, bright, clean unfussy interior. This is going to be a regular thing for me.

I do recommend this place The reviewer surely had a bad day. I am not sure what they were expecting for this place, probably another boring designer restaurant with beautifully presented food so that they can "discern" the flavours from one another. I think they should review the definition of "homely cooking" or maybe that's the presentation their parents used to take to the table back in their days... The food is great. It tastes fresh, healthy and homely. The staff are amazing. The venue could do with a bit more warmth, but it is clean and pleasant, and the prices are perfectly fine for the area and the level of detail, given that it is a family business. Overall, a great place to try out. Be warned though: guajrati food is mostly on the spicy side of the spectrum.

Food was nice enough, though rather uninspiring and bland, but worst thing was, we left hungry after a starter and main each (and was about 20 quid each). Ambience was non-existent and tables were cramped. Give this a miss.

Nice idea and friendly service in a quirky albeit cramped environment. We went on a Saturday night. The food wasn't terrible, but lacked a depth of flavour that had been promised by the media coverage. It is certainly very overpriced and £12.80 for a watery vegetarian dahl with paneer is not worth the money in anyone's book. There are plenty of places where three people can eat well for £50 in London (not including drinks), this isn't one of them.

I ate there last night, Time out you really can get things a bit wrong... I am Gujarati and have grown up eating Gujarati food, so I had my mr critical hat on, I mean it had to live up to the food my mother made for me when I was lucky enough to have her cook for me. The restaurant: refreshing change to all the tacky Indian restaurants of old and new. The decor is modern, bright, minimalist and tasteful, concentrating your gaze upon the food, and this place is totally about the food. The Menu: Really a delight, not confusing at all. I could have been at home with any of the food there, I loved the steamed mhootia made with cabbage and stir fried gently with onion ad sesame seeds - sooo good The mains, classic Guju fare... Tindora with kaadi, amazing, my partner had the paneer with spinach, with the best mung bean dhal... ohh and thepla - thank you Gujarati Rasoi you really made me a happy boy And I didn't mention the Papri chat, these guys know their food! I dont drink alcohol, so I can't comment there. However do not leave without dessert - home made mango kulfi for me please :-) I am totally going again Bharat
