Among the best Indian food I've ever had! - Edit
I can't describe how happy I am when I can read and choose from the whole menu. The food at Jai Krishna is seriously among *the* best Indian food I've ever had, at least in Europe - and their restaurant wall features an interesting trinity of portraits: Jesus, Krishna, Corbyn. I approve. :)
Pros: Awesome tasting food!, reasonable prices, intimate atmosphere

Delicious South Indian food - Edit
I usually go to Jai Shri on Turnpike Lane, but this one is great too - pokier and noisier, with younger staff (I like the family vibe of the Turnpike Lane branch), but equally as good value with a huge food selection, most of which is vegan.
Highlights are the jeera aloo, kidney bean rice, thali, masala dosa, and chana masala. The poori are delicious too.
Pros: Price, Menu, Taste
Cons: Noise, Room

Restaurant is good, but don't try to order via phone - Edit
I think the food at this place is really good. It is a vegetarian restaurant that caters for vegans. Prices are very fair.
The only downside here is that if you try and order via phone in the evenings you never get a positive reply. I once was even hung up upon. If you want to eat here, just go to the restaurant and sit down.
Pros: Good food, Big vegan selection, No meat
Cons: Rude on the phone

legendary North London authentic Indian - Edit
This place has been around for an eternity and it's reputation around here is well known. Original and unusual Indian dishes with hardly a Korma in sight. Just lots of proper food made with love and reverence. They don't serve alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own which can be bought from the amazing offy over the road-Jack's, which has a huge selection of exotic beers.

Great, no frills restaurant, outstanding food - Edit
Been going here several times after friends introduced me to this little gem near Finsbury Park a few years ago. The food is outstanding, items that I haven't seen anywhere else before. As long as you don't mind food cooked in or with oil. Best thing is to order a variety of dishes and share with your friends. The plates are inexpensive and since things come out as they are ready, it's a good way to eat. The restaurant doesn't have a license to sell alcohol but you can bring your own (not that unusual in London). There are a few shops close by. It can get busy so you might want to book ahead.
Pros: Fantastic food, Great value, No frills
Cons: No frills (table cloth, matching plates), Can get crammed & noisy

Authentic Indian Experience! - Edit
I've been to Jai Krishna on several occasions now And most recently, following a trip to India which made me realise how authentic the experience and food is.
All food is vegetarian and lots vegan. I recommend the thali, it's plentiful and you can request no yoghurt and sweet.
Pros: Great menu choices, BYO, Authentic cuisine (thali, dosas etc.)
Cons: slow service when busy

Still the best veggie Indian place in London - Edit
Been going here for years and it still does the best Indian food I've found in London (yes that includes Rasa in Stokey and the Drummond St buffets!). Like the cheap style, pity there's no vegan sweets.
Pros: excellent food, good value, nice vibe
Cons: No vegan puddings, Can be noisy

Jai Krishna is a well kept secret! - Edit
I love taking friends here! It is fresh, tasty, and still somehow very inexpensive (£3-4 for main curry)! Don't be discouraged if it looks dark or empty- it will be busy inside! For newcomers, you write down your order on the paper they give you & it is BYOB (the menu says they have a can/bottle fee, but I have never been charged. There is also an offy next door to it!). There are dishes I haven't seen anywhere else, and have a really big vegan selection. I'm drooling just thinking about it!
Pros: Tasty, Really Cheap, BYOB
Cons: Can be busy, Not open all day

Simple Food, Delicious Flavours - Edit
I love this place. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back. The food is delicious, yet not overdone. They don't use onions and garlic but this doesn't mean it lacks flavour.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, good value
