Shilpa

I love this restaurant, amazing food, friendly service and good prices. The protions look smaller than they actually are, so i always end up ordering too much... The desserts are surprisingly delicious as well!

Very low key neighbourhood restaurant with flavourful cooking from Kerala. They are eager to please so if there is something you want particularly let them know when you get there. I recommend the raw papaya curry it highlighted well the layers of seasoning that are found in many of the dishes.

The food was delicious and authentic and the service was fast and efficient. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat Indian cuisine in Hammersmith.

Friendly service and tasty South Indian food. Poppadoms were accompanied by delicious relishes ( particularly liked the coconut one and the sweet beetroot one), followed by lovely fresh spicy crisp cauliflower pakoras. The lamb in my main course was tender and lean and the coconut paratha went well with it. Would certainly go back again to try other dishes.

overall food was good, naan was big but dishes were small. reasonable prices after taste card discount. service is okay but could be better after hearing taste card

The food was excellent and hot, what made the visit extra special was the lovely waitress was very polite and helpful often checking if food was ok and to see if we needed drinks etc.

Great food and service. One of the most authentic sub continental restaurant in london! Recommend the Vada and Paneer starters as well as egg appam. We couldn't get enough. The one less than top rating is because whilst the dosa was nice, it's not as crispy as it should probably be. Excellent food nonetheless!

Have been here many times, one of my favourite restaurants in the neighbourhood. Very delicious food and good service. Like the new menu too. Highly recommend!

We were greeted by a really pleasant waiter who showed us to our table. Our waitress came over, she was extremely friendly and helpful. She was also knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the set poppadoms, 2 each with nice pickle tray, a selection of 4 pickles each. I had the seabass, cooked in medium spices, in a banana leaf. I liked the way we were asked if we preferred mild, medium or hot. Accompanying this, I chose lemon rice. The seabass was really tasty and was covered in an onion and tomatoe herb mix that was superb. The lemon rice went really well with the fish, was very tasty and had cashew nuts and lentils in. My husband had a chicken curry, kerala kozhi roast, which he thoroughly enjoyed, with steamed rice. We had two pints of Kingfisher and two sparkling waters. The bill came to £36.15, which we thought was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food and excellent service. I had seen the restaurant advertised as one of the top 50 in London in Time Out and we were staying close by. We would definetly go again, if we come back to this area of London and would thoroughly recommend it!

Charming staff, friendly without being pushy, good food, feels like home cooking, busy and had the feel of a much loved local resturaunt, a good experience.

Good service and really good food, well spiced and really tasty, not just hot. Some interesting items on the menu too, will definitely be returning.

Really delicious food which was surprisingly good value. We went on Boxing Day, and whereas every else deserted Shilpa was bustling with people which I think is testament to what a great place it is. Service was also great.

Dirt cheap. On taste card as well; with 50% off we felt a little guilty at dining so well for, 8, yes 8 quid ahead. Aside from this, food was very tasty, step up from your usual

Fantastic food. The dosa is wonderful - crispy and light - really great vegetarian options. Reasonably priced. Good location close to Hammersmith. Great service! highly recommended.

Small intimate restaurant with very friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble especially for those with specific dietary needs. Very delicious food at very reasonable prices - we'll be back.

Absolutely amazing food in this small restaurant! Definitely a step above your standard curry with wonderful fish dishes. And the dosa pancake was delicious. Lovely staff! Well worth the visit!

This is possibly the best curry in London, richly flavoured food served by excellent staff with a consistently high standard of service. Have been severa times now, and it never fails to impress.

Nice decor, but my favourite dish of Chicken Korma did not taste as expected, but was still good to eat. Service was good and quick. I am sure other dishes on the menu will be fine.

The paneer tikka and prawn poori as starters were very tasty. The vegetarian dish recommended by the waiter was a bit of a disappointment unfortunately.

Great little place - quiet and unassuming but the food was lovely and they were very accommodating of us being 30 minutes late for our reservation following a show running late, despite it being very close to closing time. Definitely will be recommending Shilpa!

Great food, but service could be slow sometimes. Staff are attentive.

Another great visit to shilpa, food was excellent as always. Service was friendly

food was excellent as was the polite friendly service, will certainly use shilpa again, the chicken 65 was best starter I have had in any Indian restaurant.

I always enjoy coming to Shilpa as the dishes are cooked to a high quality and the service is very friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend it to my friends.

The chef has changed so the food was not as good as before. Service was also slow despite us being only the second table of diners.

Great food at reasonable prices. Restaurant didn't have our reservation and was very busy, but made room for a party of 5.

The food was excellent, the waiting time was reasonable and the price was fair. The service however left much to be desired. Insufficient menus for a booked large party, not clearing away the menus after everyone had ordered, bringing people the wrong drink orders and not knowing the names of the dishes being carried to the table so that it was a struggle to recognise who had ordered what.

This restaurant has recently changed Chefs. The food is no longer as good asbefore. Our favourite was the dosa but this time it was too crispy. Furthermorw we waited forever for our mains and starters despite there being only us in the restaurant ie 2 people

very good - would highly recommend and the kerala cuisine is spot on. Certainly much better than the typical perceptions of the "local indian" restaurant - well worth a visit

Excellent as always. The food is outstanding though sometimes the (friendly) service can be a little slow, otherwise it would get a 6 from me. No doubt that's due to the popularity of the restaurant and the freshness and quality of the food. Great value too.

Excellent food and good service - high quality and delicious. thoroughly recommend.

Good meal and excellent value, served by helpful staff. Five of us ate all we could have wanted for less than £20 per person. Would recommend to anyone looking for a south Indian meal.

Excellent meal, great service, reasonably priced. Definitely a cut above the usual Indian restaurants, I will be going back there and would most definitely recommend you to try it. 10/10 from me!

Our 3rd visit to Shilpa - we live in Reading but when we go to Hammersmith Apollo, it's a must. Fantastic Keralan fish and seafood - such wonderful flavours and at reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back again!

Tasty authentic food, great service. Will go back for more

Very good food and service and they do their best to seat everyone with/without reservation.

Great food as usual, though the service was a little slow - it was a busy Friday night. But, worth the wait. The king fish starter is highly recommended!

Met friends from France, where Indian restaurants are not numerous and they love Indian food. They loved it. Fabulous South Indian food and very warm welcome from the staff. First visit but we'll be back for sure. Thank you, Shilpa!

This is a great South Indian restaurant. They make delicious dosas. The curries have good flavour and the portion size is good. I definitely recommend it.

as usual we had excellent food at amazingly low prices. Highly recommended
