Guglee

I ordered a prawn biriani with a vegetable sauce on the side. The biriani was uninspiring and the sauce was insufficient — definitely not worth the £11.25 charged. Had a stuffed nan and an alcohol-​free cobra. Service was rather off-​hand, too. I won’t be back!

Solid neighborhood Indian — at the high end of what you’d expect but probably not worth going out of your way for.
Very professional staff and great service. Portions were generous I’ll defiantly be back if I’m in the area — thanks for a lovely meal!

We found this gem close to our hotel. The food felt like home cooked food, not oily, flavorful and light. Being from the USA, we are Indians used to the cream-​heavy food served in Indian restaurants in the US, so this was a great experience. The black dal was really good. The rose kulfi was simply amazing! Do not miss it. The owner was warm and showed great hospitality that one sees only in India, we went two nights in a row. Loved it and will be back!

Excellent food! Excellent ambience! Excellent service! This place has the best Indian food available and even Thums Up (a cold beverage available in India). Loved it. Must try. Whenever I feel like having Indian food, I only prefer ordering from.

Top notch high street Indian restaurant. Licked the plate clean on the chicken tikka appetizer and needed two garlic naan to «sponge» up the curry sauce. Great items and a great global variety of wines which is rare in the Indian restaurant business. Under 20 tables so service is attentive and staff cares. Nice place to go to when you need you Indian flavor fix.

My first time having Indian food! Couldn’t have been happier that I had the food here. Very clean and modern environment and the portions are just right! Everything we ordered was delicious.
Friendly staff as well.

I had the same as i do in Hyderabad (Paradise) when i travel to india, chicken biryani, it is just awesome here as well, great restaurant!!! Will come again… and the service, just great!!!

Yum!
We went to Guglee for dinner based on the Unilocal reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Honestly — the biggest problem was that there were too many choices on the menu (and that they don’t deliver to our home.) We had the Aloo Chaat, Tandoori Broccoli, and dosas for starters and the lamb biryani w/​raita and kachumber salad for the main. The broccoli could have been skipped but the rest was great. The kids had the tandoori chicken bites and gulgi handi chicken and enjoyed it as well.
Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. We’ll be back.

I love Guglee. Indian food with a twist. Brilliant food, great lunch time menu. My personal favourite Lamb railway curry and a bottle Thumbs Up. Guglee also serve authentic Indian street food and a great selection of chaats.

I always walked by this place with a skeptical perspective: «Modern» Indian cuisine on Finchley road? Hmm.
I was finally coaxed while looking for a restaurant open late on a weeknight (11 pm!) so braved my way inside Guglee. I was greeted with a smile, and that’s more than I can say about most Indian restaurants I’ve been to so far in London. Off to a good start.
I ordered tap water, and was given a liter bottle of my own. no extra charge (HINT HINT CLIFTON) alongside a kachumber salad and mutter paneer.
The kachumber salad was very bitter in the best way possible. It was great as a palate cleanser before the meal, and served almost like a sushi-​ginger while you eat. A little pricey for the serving size, but it was all vegetable and no filler.
A very solid showing reared it’s head as I tasted the mutter paneer. Balanced spice, tasty peas, and fresh paneer were combined well in this dish. I feel like the paneer could have had a bit more «wow» factor, but that didn’t stop me from devouring the entire dish with ease.
The staff were extremely nice, which made the experience all the better. I asked for Sweet Pan (google that son) and they were out; but offered me a cumin mix and gave me a sweet pan-​esque powder to go with it to refresh my tastes.
Lovely. Would definitely go back or order for delivery.

During a recent trip to London, we were advised to dine at Guglee and try Swiss Cottage’s «Best Indian food». Apparently that title is a big deal because there is a large amount of Indian food in the city.
While I can’t argue the food was good, you didn’t get much.
Had I known the menu was a la carte, we probably would have eaten elsewhere. Not because the food wasn’t tasty, but 9 GBP pounds (14 US dollars) is a lot of money for a serving of chicken. Rice and bread are extra.
I was also upset that we were charged 2 pounds (3 US dollars) for «tap» water because the waiter thought I said «still» water — which was served in a carafe. For all I know, it was tap water.
In the end, we ordered 2 different kinds of chicken; «sweet» and «spicy» (both flavored with curry). We also bought rice and bread. While we were filled up, it wasn’t enough to take leftovers with us. That cost us 35 pounds (54 US dollars).
As for the restaurant itself, it’s got modern décor and is small but clean.
I can’t say I’d pay that much back home, but we did enjoy ourselves.

It is not that big and dining is fairly close between tables, but the food is very well cooked and presented. Portions focus more on quality than quantity. Nice touches such as complimentary popadoms.
I really liked my meal and thought it was good value. The best thing for me was 2 Indian wines on the menu. First time I have ever been able to have an Indian wine with my indian meal. It was quite good too.
Staff were friendly, but they were not busy so you need to flag them down if you want to leave.

As a visitor to London there are so many choices that I had to rely on a recommendation from a local resident. Guglee was an absolute delight, even for a fan of Indian food.
I arrived before the dinner rush and the manager, Sumit, was very helpful explaining some of the menu items I’d never seen before, such as the street foods, which are traditionally eaten on the go from vendors who cook them fresh. I chose a variety platter of these bite sized «chaats» — including sev puri chaat, which is a puffed hollow pastry filled with chick peas, mashed potatoes and topped with yogurt and chutneys. Everything was absolutely wonderful.
The saag paneer, baby spinach cooked with Indian cottage cheese and spices was quite spicy, but also very good.
I was so lucky to find this small gem in the Swiss Cottage area of London. Highly recommend!

Ordered delivery over the phone which came quickly. Portion sizes very reasonable. Food taste was a-​ok.

This is a great little place!
For those who have said it is the BEST Indian food around, I think that might be debatable, but it is a casual, clean place, with a modern take on Indian food. My naan came out piping hot, and it was quite fresh. The lamb curry was also good, but I’ve had better.
All of the staff members were very friendly! Additionally, they have free wi-​fi, which is a perk for foreigners like myself! I really liked the artwork on the wall. The tuk tuks, pictures of the Taj, etc — reminded me of my trip to India.
Anyhow, if you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive, casual, Indian place, check out Guglee!

guglee is the best Indian restaurant in town — that’s it. Modern Indian cuisine and excellent service
We have been there 2 or 3 time now and have nearly tried everything on the menu. The dishes are perfectly considered to balance flavor. The freshness of the ingredients and the loving way in which they are prepared comes through with every bite. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it, Lovely restaurant with very friendly attentive staff, top quality and tasty meal, best curries (chicken tikka masala),(murgh xacuti) I have had — so full of flavour, extra tastes, just more than the typical bland curry which has become the norm.
This is trendy place. This is a place for people who love food. Indian food with all its traditions but with a modern twist.
keep up the good work with food will be back soon
I can highly recommend it

Excellent Indian food”
I was introduced to this retaurant by a friend who was brought up in India who says this restaurant has the most authentic Indian food I have eaten here about 6 times, most recently this weekend. The restaurant is very colourful décor very good with lots of colour,
A good range of Indian food is available including meat, fish, chicken dishes & Thali There is also a wide choice of vegetarian dishes on the menu.
On my recent visit my wife and I shared 3 main dishes The lamb curry Indian railway special and Murgh xacuti dish were good it was not just spicy but had lots of flavor My favourite dish was the baigan (aubergine) never had baigan like this before which was very tasty We ate the complimentary pappads and pickles as a starter & staff recommend us to have «sev puri chat» was very refreshing loved it Quality of food was very good and quantity was more than enough.
Highly recommended place in Swiss cottage, will be back soon.

I got an amazing thali dinner here tonight while my boyf got chicken tikka masala (really creamy and unlike any I’ve tasted before!) and veggie samosas.
Thali is my new favorite thing – an assortment of small dishes on one big tray. I love the variety of flavors, but I’m glad I had my guy there to help me eat it because it’s a lot of food.
Guglee is very bright and clean, the staff is friendly, the food arrived quickly and was delicious. They don’t come to the table much to refill drinks unless you wave them over and ask for it, but they are basically standing there watching for you to wave them over: oP
They also do free delivery in the area, which I will definitely take advantage of in future, and you can order online from their website! Love it.
