I was quite excited when I heard that a South Indian restaurant had opened up in East Finchley, a short walk from the underground station. I recently got the chance to sample their cuisine.

The restaurant decor is well done, though the restaurant itself is not large. There is an extensive menu including a wide range of choices for vegetarians, as is often the case with Indian restaurants. The food itself was good, though portions were small and relatively expensive. The food is not as good as a Sakoni, but the setting is much better. Value for money-wise it is more expensive that similar restaurants in Wembley but similar to Woodlands. I would go again.I was quite excited when I heard that a South Indian restaurant had opened up in East Finchley, a short walk from the underground station.

This place from the outside is so understated, it could easiliy be mistaken for a local cafe, but this is far from the truth. The restaurant offers a good selection of Pasta, Veal, Seafood, and Pizza to die for.

The Pizza at this place is truely awesome, I had the quattro Fumi, my partner, opted for the Sirloin steak, both very vell presented, and made to perfection.

This place has an advantage other many others, surprisingly I am refering to the fact that it has no license, so basically you can take your own wine.

This brings the price down of the overall bill, so summing up, fantastic food, good value (pizza 7.50), (steak 13.50)

I've been here loads of times as there were never any Thai restaurants in Muswell Hill. I do like Nahling, especially the outdoor area (unless its windy). There is an extensive menu which is generally very tasty. The staff are curteous. My only complaint is that the portions are very small. For 2 we always end up getting starters and 3-4 courses for mains plus rice and don't really come away full.

Bigger portions please!I've been here loads of times as there were never any Thai restaurants in Muswell Hill. I do like Nahling, especially the outdoor area (unless its windy).

Arguably one of the best curries I've had..especially when compared to other local curry houses (Cochin excepted). It delivers exactly what you are looking for from a high street curry house: the staff are attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is unassuming and relaxed, and the food really is very tasty and good value. I am vegetarian, and have tried most of the range available, all of which is very good, particularly the tarka dall as a side dish, and my partner has been more experimental even having some of the traditional dishes which were all very agreeable. 2 large beers, with 4 poppadums, 2 main courses 1 side dish and rice/nan ususally comes to around £30 - bargain!Arguably one of the best curries I've had..especially when compared to other local curry houses (Cochin excepted).
