Essentials Food To Go

This is a good place for a quick lunch in the middle of work. The service is pretty fast even when there is a line. Although, I will say that there is a wait of about 6-8 minutes to get a wrap because I assume they heat up the bread on the stove and make it semi-fresh. I had their chana masala (which is vegan) with rice. The small box (which I got) was only £6 and I thought it was more than substantial. Their bigger box is £7 and I believe it could almost make for two meals. Overall, it’s very good value for money. They also have a wide variety of options including vegan and veggie options, which I love! Is this the best Indian food I’ve had in London? No. But it’s definitely a very good, affordable and convenient option for lunch when you’re around the city.

A bit surreal as it's part of the Post Office shop! The Aloo Tikka Chat I ordered was delicious and fair value at £3.99.. Authentic tasting. The Punjabi Samosas were OK, not the best. But I got 3 for £3.99 and they were tasty. A good menu with things you don't see in many places. With the curries they put too much rice and not enough of the dish in each container, so make sure to ask for the other way round; its a cost cutting exercise I suspect. Many of the dishes are made to order downstairs and require a 5-10 min wait. So order in advance if time is short. I hope to try the Daal next time, it looked very good.
