Hot Stuff
-
Budget choice
This immensely popular BYO curry house (and takeaway), on a seldom-explored Vauxhall backstreet, is run with charm – and plenty of chat – by the Dawood family. The order of the day is homely Indian-West African dishes, prepared with care, plenty of fresh ingredients and none of the bland, formulaic sauces that afflict many a neighbourhood Indian. The masala fish (Wed-Sat only, £4.25), an East African curry, is the stuff of local legend: chunks of tilapia fish are marinated at length before being cooked in a rich, freshly seasoned sauce to gratifying effect. The specials board warrants your close attention: look out for (really very special) dahl makani, black lentils slow-cooked in butter, and the lighter green banana curry. Grab your beers at the off licence next door, and book at weekends – Hot Stuff has an army of local fans and only 25 seats.

lots of great food and great service fun all around, and remember if you do go,drinks are on next door!
In london I use to go to Hot Stuff many times for my lunch. The food is great to taste. The taste was very close to the one made in India. Raj who owns the place is a very nice and warm person. IF you let him decide he will get you the best of his dishes to eat which you will enjoy.
I found reviews about Hot Stuff on here and went there based purely on the reviews. It was excellent. I went on 3 Dec 2009 on my own and had no reservation. Fortunately they had room for me. You MUST book if going on a Thurs to Sunday. I let the staff advise on what to eat and they knew their stuff. Keema kofta to start, then chicken Kerala, with sag aloo and stuffed paratha. I am soooooo going back next week. All staff were very friendly. Asked if I had been before. Gave me a free paratha :-). Spoke to the owner who was friendly and intent on ensuring everything was ok. Only 25 places on this Hot Spot .... However u may wish to join those parking outside and eating in their cars ...... That's how good this place is ........ Everyone is welcome here .... Thanks for a very friendly greeting and first class, freshly prepared food ....
Definately book for this place from Thurs to Sat, as it would be a pity to miss out. Take your own wine, and let the waiter choose your food rather than going from the menu - you won't be disappointed
You will love this place - you'll feel like one of the family the minute you walk through the door. Go - you'll see. But book ahead or you won't get in!
The Best curry in Londen!!!!!!
i live just off south lambeth road just a few minutes away from the shop and have passed it many of times before i actually decided to eat in. however when i did i was truley amazed but the quality and quantity of the food as well nas the costumer service was brilliant there very friendly and you can have a right laugh if you want to see service with a smile go to hot stuff
Hot stuff is my favourite place to eat. You cannot get a better curry anywhere else in london. I recommend the buttersquah and spinash vegetable dish!
I adore this place. Great staff, food is amazing, have always had a wonderful time. A hidden little gem that I... probably shouldn't be promoting so that we can keep it a hidden little gem! Best Indian in London.
best Indian restaurant in London for me .. food always fresh and different .. just order the specials and try something new.
try the stuffed paratha too
