Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the chole bhature, often calling it among the best in London, with authentic flavors reminiscent of India. The pani puri and aloo tikki chaat stand out for their refreshing taste, making them must-tries for any chaat lover. The casual environment fosters a warm, welcoming feel, perfect for family gatherings or solo meals. Many also appreciate the reasonable prices, with most dishes falling between £1 and £10, allowing for hearty meals without breaking the bank. Additionally, Apna Dera's commitment to using fresh ingredients without preservatives resonates well with health-conscious diners. The attentive service, with friendly staff like Zaheer Abbas, has become a highlight as customers feel well cared for during their visits.
Most Disliked
While Apna Dera delights many with its food, some diners note that the space is quite small and often more suited for takeaway than dine-in. There are no bathroom facilities on-site, which can be inconvenient for those looking to relax over a longer meal. A few customers express frustrations with the busy periods, particularly on Tuesday evenings, where the restaurant reaches full capacity, making it less ideal for those looking for a quiet dinner. Additionally, some might find the lack of expansive seating limits their options during peak dining hours. Despite these challenges, the quality of the food often overshadows the few shortcomings.

We are very happy to visit this place because here we found good food and service. We enjoyed pani puri and aloo tikki chaat which was very delicious. Price was also reasonable.

Great fresh made food, delicious and very modestly priced, it is a tiny place, more take away than eat in. There is no bathroom so be prepared, I have visited many times and everytime the food has been spot on. Plenty of parking outside but you must pay for it just so you know.

I'm obsessed with chana bhatura and chole bhatura, and I've been on a quest to find the best ones in London. After trying some of the city's top Indian restaurants, I was utterly impressed by the exceptional quality of the chole at this restaurant - it's comparable to the best I've had in Delhi! The owner's dedication to authenticity and customer service is evident, and I was even more impressed when they personally delivered my order to me after I accidentally opt for collection. Kudos for the outstanding food and genuine hospitality.

So far had all the varieties of pakora's, all cooked fresh. Seriously crunchy spicy and amazing. Had their tikka cheese naan, a real stand out snack dish or lunch item as a wicked all in one quick munch! Real good value when you think everything is always fresh and good quality. Cant wait to try more of the mains, looking forward to doner, chana, curries and rice dishes. Nice work Anna Dera 👏
