R72 Saloon

We enjoyed a very pleasant evening during the week. Music not too loud, and seating comfortable. The menu caters for people who do not do spice to those who like their food “Indian hot”. The menu and options were carefully explained, and the portions were very generous. Not yet licensed so check when booking if you can BYOB.

Everything we had was delicious, and we did share and taste around. Great service and great recommendations. Don't be macho - when they say it's hot, it's HOT.

What a culinary experience. We shared the tempura prawn and tempura brinjal starter. Then shared the lamb Rogan josh and chicken and prawn curry. Such delicate fusion of flavours. Excellent service.

Our dinner with friends was great. The restaurant is small and intimate and our service was very good. A quick meal with friends turned into a 3 hour gastronomic trip. I can recommend the butter chicken and the lamb korma (hot). Booking is a must as its a small place.

Indian food at its best with the plus of eating in the most stunning themed restaurant! A must, money well spent.

We introduced a couple new to East London to RBE.The ambiance was great,we felt as if we were on a train trip .we were very happy with the service,attentive but not overbearing.We ordered different dishes and shared,what a pleasant experience.More people should try them for something different

What a pleasant surprise. Lovely, warm and cosy decor. Tables set beautifully, Restuarant was very neat and clean. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. Good service. Excellent curries, we had both a chicken and a lamb which were both had wonderful flavors. Definilty will be back, look forward to trying out other options on he menu.

What a pleasant surprise to find a decent Indian restaurant in EL!!A lovely little restaurant, reminiscent of one in a high street of a little county in the UK, I was delighted to find a much sought-after alternative in the rather depraved finer - dining restaurant options in EL!I enjoyed the cozy setting, the friendly waiter and the general warm ambience of this place, achieving its attempt to recreate the setting of the Bombay express rail experience.The food can be requested to be anything between mild to Indian-hot, and was a good balance of heat and tastiness.Our starters, the trio of samosas and tempura aubergine, made for a nice modern twist and Masterchef-like appeal. My only gripe was that the crispy Phyllo pastry was let down by the cold fillings.Our mains, the Lamb Vindaloo and Pune prawn curry, were packed with flavor and sufficiently spiced for our Indian-hot palates!The rotis were a bit too thick for our liking, but the side spiced butternut accompaniment was pure yumminess!! I appreciated the waiter's honest advice to preferably order this side dish, rather than the more expensive vegetarian main meal.My only gripe is that the traditional India Chai is not on the menu, which would have been the perfect end to an almost-perfect Indian experience!

Last night we had lamb curry vindaloo, chicken curry and a prawn and chicken curry. All three dishes tasted very good and we all three were positively surprised at our first visit. Will definitely go back there for more. It’s worse spending a little more and enjoying it.

A very up class restaurant for East London . This venue caters for business dinners or quiet family dinners . Not suited for noisy sports tours .
