We’ve walked past Samratt Indian restaurant pretty much every day since we moved to Putney (it’s only about 50 metres from our house), and each time I’ve thought, “oohhh, that place doesn’t look appealing”. Julian and Shelley have braved it a number of times and survived, so tonight Kristy and I finally bit the bullet and gave it a whirl ourselves.
Goodness gracious, what a pleasant surprise we got! Firstly, the staff are extremely polite and helpful. Secondly, the meal portions are huge – we didn’t even come close to finishing our two main meals, not to mention the two garlic naans that were a meal in themselves. Thirdly, it was delicious – I would definitely order the salamn kirit again, even if that’s not what it’s actually called!
Loads of people told me that there was heaps of good Indian restaurants in London, but until recently I didn’t believe it. We’ll definitely be calling back at Samratt for all our poppadom needs. gerrod.com rating: 8.5/10.

The only place to get Indian is in London – that and at Sitar in Albion (and only Albion).
I’m dissappointed that you weren’t satisfied with our favourite Indian in the Chiz – Anakali was the shiz – but I think you gravitated to options closer to your flat?
Anywho, glad you found a place you like now. Indian is the ultimate “I want something I know is bad for me but tastes soooo good” food.
Agreed. I really don’t know why G was so hesitant to believe our reports. It is a tasty restaurant.
