Jai Krishna

Bring your own booze, means no inflated drinks charges. Food is excellent and service friendly as long as you're not expecting silver service you'll love it!

Always reliable, delicious, & good value. Have been a regular for 10 years

The food's delicious, cheap and filling. The booze is bring your own. What more could you want? Yes the seating's not that amazing and the staff are 50/50 for rudeness but the best but if you're like me and you don't care, it really doesn't change how good the experience is. Never feel afraid to get a doggy bag either.

As a local I have visited Jai Krishna a few times over ten years, but am mostly put off by the rude (stressed out?) owners. The food is ok, a bit too oily and sugary for being healthy.

Visited for a quick family meal recently, following recommendations from friends. The inside is basic and no alcohol licence (bring your own). However, this was not an issue as the food was good, staff helpful and amazing value for money!

Not gourmet but cheap, tasty and very friendly. Bring your own booze from the excellent off-license across the road.

Highly recommend this place - delicious vegetarian dishes at excellent prices (£3.25 for a main curry).

Highly recommend the special chana kachori and pumpkin curry with paneer.

Also it's BYOB - another bonus

30years on as an occasional visitor to London this remains my favourite vege restaurant. The service used to be even more friendly but the value for money is still unbeatable and you can take your own drink. My choice for my sixtieth birthday - atmosphere always pleasant.

I go there often, it is a great restaurant!
Simple, tasy, and very cheap.
Hihgly recommended!

great restaurant! end of!

I have been to Jai Krishna a few times (although not recently) and I think it's a wonderful place; incredibly cheap, low-key and friendly.

Don't go there expecting extravagant opulence (in fact don't even go there expecting napkins and matching cutlery), but the prices, the motivation and most importanly the food, are all spot on.

I think the 2 star review from TO is a bit harsh - the review it didn't seem to justify the 2 star conclusion.

The Jai Krishna is something of an institution in Stroud Green and has stuck with a cafe-style decor and 'write the order on a bit of paper' service for years. !0 years ago, the food was of exceptional quality, with paper-thin dosas, freshly prepared and imaginatively-spiced food, and generous proportions. Sadly, on the basis, of the meal we've just had, they're sitting on their past plaudits: dosas were stodgy, dishes tasted stale, spices were almost non-existent and portions were small. Very sad.

This place is a hidden gem. I dined there last night with a group of about 10 of us so we were able to try lots of different dishes which were consistently special and absolutely exquisite. I have not had Indian food this magical since dining at an Indian wedding in Kenya years ago. It was a real treat. I'm selfishly glad that the reviewer gave this place 2 stars so that it remains a bit under the radar and free from potential ruin by popularity.

Fantastic Masala Dosa at a great price and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
