Came here with family, located on stratford road. Restaurant is quite small but is quaint. Decor is nice as there are some nice pictures on the wall. There appears to be some refurbishment going on but does not affect the seating area. We ordered a selection of variety of starters from lamb chops to vegetable chaat. The lamb chops were very tough, needed very strong teeth to chew through the meat. The chaat was very bland so we added some sauces from the poppadoms to make it reasonable. The worse was the samosa and seekh kebab. They samosa were exactly like frozen ones you get from supermarkets and likewise with the seekh kebabs. I believe the brand is shazam. The lamb curry was just as bad....
Went there because of good rating by Tripadvisor Set price meal Mon-Thurs. What I had, Starter: Bollywood Scotch Egg (mine did not look like the picture on the website). So disappointing, the boiled egg was overcooked and possibly more than a day old. Tasteless spicy minced lamb should be much thicker to evenly wrap around the egg and another coating of egg and bread crumbs is desperately needed to hold it all together before deep-frying. Lastly, the whole thing is covered with a thin substance that the menu described as a fried egg. Main course: Jaipur Chicken is nice enough, no complain nor praise.
We had a fantastic family meal at this restaurant. Although it has recently changed its name, we still prefer calling it 'The Purple Rooms'. The change seems to be because they now offer two menus to choose from - Asian and Persian. Two of our party opted for the Persian stew, which was flavorful and unique. The other three guests tried various Asian dishes and found them all to be delicious. We received a warm welcome and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning in the future.
Fantastic and friendly welcome. Staff very attentive and excellent in every way. Had the Jaipur, amazing flavour with loads of chicken, mushrooms and peppers. Chicken cooked superbly, so tender. Only negative, chicken tikka starter was tasty but the mint sauce was bland and there is often a red sauce, but this was absent. With this addition it would be my number one restaurant. Should this be an addition I would definitely return!!

Six of us visited the Purple Rooms last night 14th December, we had a very warm welcome and shown to a nice round table. The waiters were attentive and friendly, the food arrived which was excellent, enjoyable and plentiful, just the right heat and seasoning. All of us would recommend the restaurant and we are looking forward to a return visit.

The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant offers a delicious blend of Middle Eastern and Asian dishes, and the prices are very reasonable. Although it was quiet when we visited early, we still had a great experience. Definitely recommend checking it out.
I come here often. The food is amazing, the service is great, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. They have all the necessary social distancing measures in place. (Sorry for the photo). Their chicken dhansak is the top choice!
