Sleek Indian restaurant with dark wood tables and banquettes in black leather and primary colours

Lime Bar & Restaurant

I visited this Indian Restaurant recently.

The food doesn't taste good, far far from Indian taste! Worse the quantity and cooking is also bad. I ordered vegetarian thali and it was quite bad. Stuffed Parantha had no stuffings

Pls skip this restaurant if going for true Indian restaurant.

PS: Bar and overall ambience is good but doesn't help.

Portion sizes should be bigger for the price especially for the rice and bread
Flavour is nice
Service is good
Lovely colour scheme

LIME is a great Indian Restaurant in Canary Wharf. The food is excellent as are all the staff. The boss is very accommodating, if you have a special request. They also have a great bar area. Highly recommended.

I ordered dinner online using Just Eat website. I had the following based on the reviews I read about the restaurant: 1- Hyderabadi Biryani, Chicken: the rice was OK. nothing special at all about it although the reviews says it is their best. I did not like the raw onion on top (Whenever I had Biryani it is usually served with crispy onion not raw but may be this is different recipe). As a matter of fact, the egg was OUT OF DATE!! this was horrible absolutely wrong and should not be happening. the moment I smelled the egg, I spitted out.

2- Tarka Daal: very salty daal coloured water and the few daal here and there with a couple of Chelies. Again, it was mostly water added to the Daal. I think they Poured a little of it in the take away container and added water and plenty of salt. Really bad.

3-Chicken Tikka Masala: surprisingly it was sweet. Unlike any other Tikka Masala I tried, this was not savoury as I like it. the chicken was covered with a bright red sweet sauce, No masala spices I can taste at all. but I can taste sweet coconut flavor and the bright red colour was so artificial. both Biryani and the Masala were so different from anything I tried in my life and I do not mean that in a good way. If I was in the restaurant, I would have returned the food back to the kitchen and left. I do not recommend this place to anyone especially for TAKE AWAY or ORDERING FROM HOME, such a waste of money. It is unfortunate that people write good reviews and post good pictures on Google when the reality is something completely different. Maybe it is because I ordered the food online and was not physically at the restaurant, so I was served the out of date food or that of a poor quality.

Really enjoyed the food and the service was friendly and efficient. The Saag aloo was excellent as was the Tarek Dahl. Garlic naan was very well done without overpowering garlic as some places do. I went with four sides for dinner and had plenty left over.
