  I am a regular customer of Jai Shri Krishna, and have been for nearly 4 years.
  I've never had a bad meal there and it's so ridiculously cheap. I love the staff  they are friendly, kind and accommodating. They really get to know their regular customers  they recognise my voice on the phone when I order takeaway (oh dear haha) and they are always really helpful if you need an explanation of a new dish you are thinking of trying.
  Disclaimer  I am a vegetarian, so obviously I'm going to be more of a fan than your average carnivore. But there are some vegetarian restaurants in London that are a) a complete rip-off and b) really not that great in terms of quality. Here you have simple, great quality South Indian food which is a delight to eat and priced at a level you can't argue with.
  I also took a bunch of friends for a meal there. It took me weeks to convince them as they're all big meat eaters. But they genuinely seemed to enjoy it. I recommended the masala dosa to them as that's a clear favourite of mine.
  Highly recommend.

  A great South Indian spot that we visit quite regularly.
  The service is basic, the decor is hideous, the ambience is zero. I don't care because the food is great.
  Cheap, fast, filling and as a meat eater it's good enough that I don't care I'm not eating meat.
  Much easier to get in the door than the other one in Stroud Green Road which is always full.
  
  A few quirks.
  
  - Cash Only. ATM's very close by.
  - You get a menu and you write your order down yourself. It's never bothered me.
  - If you want spice ask for it. Insist you don't mind hot food.
  
  Worth a visit.

  My favourite Indian restaurant in London. It is as relaxed as being at home, the family that run the place are always happy and welcoming and the food is so good, especially the masala dosa, papri chat and samosas. I can never decide what to order and always get too much!
  Oh and it's byob.

  I love the food here, and the owner (or the man I presume to be the owner) is very pleasant when you get into conversation with him. Some people may not find the style of service to their liking (you have to write down what you want, then hand your order in at the counter), but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. As I said, the food is very nice indeed, and the ambience, while basic, is relaxing, which adds to the enjoyment of the meal.

  I'm not gone go back here. First of all: cash only. Secondly: bad service. The food is cheap, but the staff is just strange. Fist they ask you to write your own order. Really? So I asked the guy behind the counter a few questions to clarify it and he scolded me for interrupting his cash counting. I'm very sorry that I'm in the way. I just gone leave my money here for you to count, right?
  
  This is not the way to speak to a customer.
  
  The food in itself was ok, but not very spicy.
