Really good, one of the best rogan josh in London! Great atmosphere and the staff is friendly and easygoing. You can also sit outside and enjoy the warm nights.
The food was excellent, went for lunch on a weekday in April and it was really quite. Will visit the place again to try other items from the menu.
A hidden gem, not far from Vauxhall station, Hot Stuff serves great quality Indian food and – being BYOB – is excellent value. The small restaurant has a nicely intimate feel, and even on our Tuesday evening visit last night it was buzzing. Serving staff were racing around while looking after customers well.
One of the best Indian restaurants.. Cooked the Indian way!! Welcoming staff, nice and homely atmosphere.. What more to say when your tummy is happy ;-)
One of the best places to go for curry! There is so much food that comes out of the kitchen once you are seated that you have to not eat for a whole day before going here. Everything is made freshly that day and tastes like heaven. The meats melt in your mouth and the rice has so much flavor. I definitely consider this one of my favorite places in london to go for Indian food experience!
Best curry house in Europe.
Just off the SW London highways, a quiet little row of shops with Hot Stuff's garish font tucked in the middle.
Tiny place that gets busy, worth booking. iPod dock blaring out traditional Indian music slowly transitioning into dancier stuff by the end of the night.
Load up on beers at the newsagents next door and then if it's your first time there's a huge free naan bread with ur name on it. (And the naan is brilliant, garlic and coriander, different to the regular bread u get but better)
Let the chef pick our food for us: some incredible paneer, decent bhajis, amazing meats, fish madras was sick, Karahi chicken hit the spot. (Excuse the badly taken picture below, had to put in black and white coz it looked pretty sickening lol)
Waiter is a top geezer too.
Love this place, will definitely go back ??????@
Great food and friendly staff. The best local eatery and very affordable too. Highly recommend.
Fantastic Value for Money. This is a really friendly Indian, without over doing it.
Excellent value for money
We booked as a table of 9, squeezed in, tucked into the standard menu for groups and were very pleasantly surprised.
The BOY is a fantastic aspect of this. It kept a team night out down to an affordable, enjoyable evening.
Fantastic find in the middle of London
Simply the best. Used to be local. Have moved twice and still come back for more. Friends who have moved to Sussex and Suffolk get us to bring takeaways when we visit. Only downsides - it's too popular and even after several raj makeovers the acoustics are still terrible. But with food so good who wants to talk?!
Excellent food - we took the recommendations of the waiter and were not disappointed. Very busy on a Friday night. The decor has had a makeover. Staff were very friendly and excellent service. Fabulous food at a fabulous price!
Superb little foodie restaurant, great find and had a great chat with the owner, Raj.
Its bring your own beer and no corkage charge which is great with a pub next door to slake your thirst.
Food is hot and tasty with a good selection of the standards done well.
Do visit you'll love it.
Amazing place!! Really nice staff, great food, and q great price! Only £7 for a meal. Best Indian (Pakistani?) food I've had in London.
Amazing hidden gem that I’ve been going to for years. I’ve always allowed them to choose a selection of dishes for me. It’s delicious and reasonably priced and is BYO without a corkage charge. I’m sad to hear that yet again profit has overruled and Hot Stuff will be no more at the end of the year due to redevelopment. I’m hoping to relocate.
Great Indian food and THE LOVELIEST PEOPLE! It was BYOB at no charge, and the owner was extremely attentive and welcoming. They do a tasting menu for about £15 per person and it was all delicious. The curries were delicious, the shrimps were perfectly cooked, and the sauces were addictive as well. DEFINITELY WORTH THE TRIP!
FIrst came here 20 years ago and now live nearby. Cute little Indian cafe, with BYOB and no corkage. Portions are a bit small for the price, but food tastes awesome. Probs better for meat eaters than veggies. Place was playing old school drum and bass all evening when I was there, which was different to the usual traditional Indian music. I hear it is closing in 2021 so go before it shuts!
Just been there, having enjoyed a very good takeaway last night with relatives nearby. Felt like family, which it is. REALLy good food. Just so nice; also I really dislike paying for ‘frills’ - this was basic furnished - you pay for what you get to eat. And they are completely happy with you bringing your own wine/beer. Next time, if on my own, I’ll try to arrive for 6pm latest, choose a table under a good light, and hope peace and quiet to eat and read at leisure before the party begins. Very, very good place. I didn’t think there were any left like this. Congratulations to chef and staff!!
Really delicious food, each time we order I have a new favourite dish.
Raj and the team are so hospitable.
Pick up in person so you can sneak in a samosa on the walk home.
Like other reviewers have noticed, the staff was excellent. We were very excited by the offer for them to choose dishes for us (they are the experts!). We loved everything they served. We visited while touring London for a few days so we won't get the chance to visit again soon, but what a shame for us!
Visited this place a couple of weeks ago when we were in London. Raj, the owner, was amazing. Friendly and welcoming and we did the menu where he just brings us things based on what we were planning to order. We told him we wanted chicken tikka masala and he rolled his eyes and brought us some of chicken dish that was amazing. Lamb Korma was delicious. Aubergine was delicious. It’s BYOB so we purchased a bottle of wine from the shop next door. No corkage fee. Overall, really wonderful experience. Thanks, Raj!
Delicious food and great service. We paid £20 each and they brought out a selection of starters, mains and side for us to share. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.
