Khan’s of Brixton

The worst curry I’ve ever had.
It’s very difficult to make curry bland, but unfortunately for me Kahn’s flavouring could only be described as mediocre at best. The food was expensive for what it was and the vegetable’s were obviously mainly frozen.
We waited over an hour for our food to arrive and when it did we discovered two of our dishes were missing — in their place were 2 items which I’m glad I didn’t originally order, as it looked like cat food.
We called back and in fairness the guy on the phone was apologetic. However, we were not offered any sort of a discount or any additional items by way of apologising for the cock up. Worst still when the 2 missing dishes finally arrived the delivery guy sheepishly asked for the two incorrect (cat food) dishes back. They were going to go in the bin anyway, but I found myself thinking WTF were they going to do with them… surely in terms of health and hygiene they wouldn’t give them to another customer?! But, judging by the service and quality of the food it wouldn’t surprise me if they did — even the delivery guy looked embarrassed!
In short, if you’re a person who only eats frozen ready meals you may think the food (but not the price) are ok. If you’ve eaten a curry before don’t bother with this one, it’s grim and if you do prepare yourself for a massive disappointment.

BYOB, tasty curry, the best peshwari naan I’ve ever had and lovely service = our new local Indian spot! Great prices too, I can’t wait to go back or order for takeaway!

The saag paneer. Thank me later.
I came for my friend’s birthday dinner– while I fear when restaurant and bar selections are beyond my control, I can say I was pleased with Khan’s.
The party started out with several tasty popadoms with three distinct sauces (I forgot their proper names). Next, I ordered the saag paneer (£4.95) and with one bite I knew I woudn’t have «dish envy» amongst our group of 10. It’s cooked spinach with cheese cubes and it’s probably one of the most delightful I’ve had anywhere. I kinda get annoyed with rice is a separate charge, but every establishment seems to be doing it these days.
The décor is nice enough, and the staff did much to accommodate our motherload of BYOB drinks to help celebrate our crazy birthday boy.
I would totally return!

We were having a very lazy Sunday and wanted to eat something with a bit of kick so decided to try Khan’s. Given the dearth of curry houses in Brixton, it’s nice to have Khan’s nearby.
Everything was tasty although the best was the saag paneer. Nice and creamy with chunks of paneer. The veggie daal was good but not really that special. We also had fish in some tomato based sauce. This was good too but not really a standout. I would have liked a bit more heat for all the dishes.
Pilau rice was good but the naan tasted off the shelf.
Yummy mango lassi though!
We asked afterwards what the best things on the menu were and the waiter suggested the tandoori prawns and a pumpkin veggie dish that sounded really tasty. We will try that next time!
Definitely not the best Indian/​Pakistani/​Bengali but a really nice option if you’re jonesing for a curry. I’d defiant come back to try more!

Great place good food nice staff simple décor, great food great welcome not2bmissed

Hey, look! Brixton’s got a decent curry!
10 minutes’ walk from my house. Nonstandard dishes. Cheap prices. Super duper nice people. Saag paneer that’s clearly made from fresh saag (and fresh paneer, at that).
BYO.
Great bready things.
Hole in the wall, poshed slightly up style.
RIGHT BY HOOTENANNY.
No, really. The place is good. It’s no Hot Stuff, but it’s really rather good. Gets me up to that elusive fourth star.
Yum.
