Silka is located on Southwark Street right inside Borough Market. We always choose Silka purely for the convenience of it's location. However, our last return visit was very different to previous. Prior to the visit last week, we last dined at Silka last year and wow what a change. From the outside it is more noticeable. Walking down the steps to the restaurant the changes were noticeable. Fresh and updated.The owner introduced himself and actually took time to converse with us and get to know is and what we liked in terms of food and palate. My god were his choices of dishes amazing and the best curry we have eaten not only at Silka but in the area, almost on par with Est. India and Mango Indian, no surprise there as it turns out the same management team now own Silka.To summarise, great menu, amazing flavours and friendly staff. Highly recommend and will return soon

We stumbled upon Silka while looking for another restaurant. And were happily surprised.
Reading the past reviews for the restaurant took me by surprise too.
Dinner was so pleasant. Our party of 9, including kids, ordered quite a variety, and had all the dishes wiped out clean by the end! Chicken, Lamb curry dishes were delicious; Naans, Tandoori starters dish were a delight too; Dal and Paneer Saag was well cooked, not the best but it was hot, well seasoned (and presumably is perfectly in line for the London palette. Now we shouldn't forget where the restaurant is based. It is just very silly & unfair that some people expect what they are used to back home in LON!)
I have lived in London almost a year and have eaten at many 'Indian' restaurants, which in reality offer a bastardized experience of Indian cooking. Silka is definitely not amongst them. This restaurant is way way better. I didn't find anything complain- worthy to be honest.
Not to forget that the staff gave a great service, and made sure we were well fed and happy!
Mixed bag here tonight. First bad was very slow service to get our water and our order. First good once order was in food service was fast with appropriate gap between app and main. Korma, pasanda, and makhani very good. Goan salmon horrible. They agreed that salmon was bad and didn't charge for it. Really close to a thumbs down but customer service in the end saved them.
