Great service great food

We were looking really forward to visiting chak 89 again after serveral years, however the standards have slipped dramatically and we were really disappointed with the service. There were several times we had to remind waiters what we were waiting for and order things again just so they would arrive. It would have been a little understandable if they were busy but they were huddled in a corner talking and preoccupied with something on their till screen. When we first arrived i heard a member of staff talking to his employees about arguing in front of customers - which was odd! If the food was tasty it would have all been slightly worth it but we weren't impressed and there are definitely better places to eat in south london.

Delicious food, fantastic ambience, professional and friendly service- a very good value for money !

We travel from Twickenham to eat here. Love this place. Excellent food fantastic cocktails attentive service and really good value .

Great food keep it up and I really enjoyed the service

food and service was great and rare that a restaurant does not overcharge you for drinks. The beer wine and cocktail prices are great which made the overall bill excellent value

Good quality and tasty food at reasonable prices. Great service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent; thanks for the fantastic, flavoursome food.
Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Restaurant was busy in a good way.
Service was excellent.
Food was very nice.

Nice place , but quite noisy - ( not for someone looking for a quiet intimate venue ) .
Overall , food is good , though a bit oily .
The server / waitress was not very friendly or courteous . Everything was done in a robotic manner - no smile , no thank you...

I have eaten here before but this time the whole experience was disappointing food was far to spicy and waiter was very distracted

As usual great evening with great food, we love Chak89

I went after reading other reviews and like it is frequently described as a "hidden gem". Being Indian I have quite high expectations for Indian cuisine, and this definitely exceeded.
The Indian n indo Chinese are both highly highly recommend. The staff are very attentive and accommodating. I cannot wait to go back.

Great service. Tasty food amazing! 😁👍

Chak 89 is just simply the best. I love everything about it! Food amazing, service amazing and ambience is also amazing. It's just around the corner from where I live so very handy.

very friendly and the service was very good. Satisfied with the overall service.

Have used Chak89 lots of times, you cannot get better food or service. We have found it enjoyable for two people or a group and we have had many family outings there that have been wonderful and so enjoyable

Excellent time.Food was very good and the service was good.My husband is disabled and they couldn't do enough to help.Waiters and waitresses very attentive.

Some of the best curry I've had, and such good value. This was our second visit and we will definitely be returning many more times!

Organised this for my parent's anniversary and sister's birthday, and the restaurant was crazily loud. We had to shout in order to hear each other and the staff said they would provide a complimentary anniversary ice cream - which in fact was charged. Quite disappointed with that and disappointed with the level of noise in the restaurant, but apart from that it was ok. I doubt I will be back.

I love this restaurant. Great value for money, tasty food and the staff are awesome.

Fabulous place to go with friends to catch up or just a meal with your partner.

What a fantastic place, 2nd visit and could not recommend anymore highly. The staff and food is exceptional. I do not even live locally to this place but am quite happy to have a 2 hour round journey just to visit. It is fantastic value for money and is kept beautifully.

We booked table from here and they said how can u book it. Its already full and we wasnt able to go.

No problem with food and all but this restaurants have some stupid charges of £2 per person if u bring ur own cake. We came for birthday celebration which we mentioned on our booking and still they didn't inform about these charges. Means if u are 10 people for birthday celebration u will have to pay £20 just to cut ur own cake which u paid for. Well I was ok with this and then while leaving I had same bad experience of getting stuck in lift again. Last visit we were stuck in the lift and this time again. Seems like no one is bothered about customer experience and get this dam lift fixed. And later when we were let out of the lift the guy were laughing at us and said it happens when there r more then 3 people. How stupid of him saying that when we were only 3 people in lift. Anyways there are better places where we can get better customer experience.

Best Indian food and the cocktails are amazing. They give you so much time to eat and don't rush at all. The staff are amazing and so attentive.

Very friendly service and delicious food. The ambience was a little loud and the lift to the restaurant only carried 3 people at a time. Value for money competitive with other restaurants- not particularly expensive or cheap

Exceptional service, staff were extremely polite and accommodating. Food was outstanding. Highly recommended and will be returning very soon.

Excellent food. Excellent Staff. Make you very welcome.

Best curry we have had for years, service was very attentive and value for money excellent. Would highly recommend.

Poor food quality waited over 2 hours for our food and when it arrived it was so oily it was not edible , poor service , no check back on our meals when we complained at the end that the food was far too oily and we did not eat it we were told we should have said earlier , we would of if a waiter had come anywhere near our table ! We were just told sorry we have been busy . Would not recommend waste of money left the restaurant at 1am hungry

A little noisy but everything else fantastic! Ice-cream and desserts were delicious...

Lovely Indian food. Large spacious restaurant, so good for large groups of people. Good service and reasonable price. Try the chicken biryani. Will definitely go back there. Ample parking.

Delicious food. Great value. Nice area and ambience to eat in and service was on point

A surprising bolt hole
Excellent food
Attentive friendly staff
Great service
Amazing ambience


10/10

We have been meaning to visit Chak89 for ages and we were not disappointed. The location is unusual on the 2nd floor of a building on an industrial estate , but once inside it's a comfortable restaurant with a separate bar area and friendly attentive staff. We had a couple of the chaat dishes for starters which were delicious and very generous. We will share a starter next time. The mains were really tasty, Handi chicken jalfrezi and Chak chicken special. The wine menu is very reasonable , with Wolfblas wines for around £16. The whole meal was excellent quality and very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Great food and great service at Chak 89! We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary there and had an amazing time! Will definitely visit again!

Lovely ambience and friendly service with nice food. I would recommend and happy to visit again for another meal.

Lovely restaurant, been several times. This was the first time with young children and they were made to feel very welcome. A plate of chips, on the house, was provided for them and they were given a chocolate bar and a lollipop! Service was great and food lovely as always.

Great welcome. Food was very nice. Nothing was too much trouble and overall experience was enjoyable.
