Welcome addition in N London - Edit
This new restaurant is similar and related to Jai Krishna, with a slightly different menu but the same great value. Starters are tasty and characterful - samosas and patra particularly good; a wide range of curries and the usual paratas, chapatis etc. Also a shop selling Indian sweets. There's a buffet every lunchtime. Few rivals for a vegetarian meal in N London.

Amazing Thali - Edit
I loved this place when I lived round there. Recommend the Thali which contains small amounts of several dishes.

Temporarily closed due to fire - Edit
Jai Krishna has been closed for a few months now (Oct 2019) due to a fire in the restaurant.
Read moreI just wanted to give people the heads up to save wasting a journey.
I hope they re-open soon.
Nice food and cheap, more so with the lunchtime half price thalis (£4.50) or massala dosas (£4)
And you can BYOB - off licence 2 doors down.
They have another branch in Stroud Green but Turnpike Lane has always been our favourite.

very good, affordable food - Edit
I had the red cabbage and apple curry, I've never seen this dish before so I was curious to try it. It was delicious, I can recommend this restaurant. Portions are very big. When you go there, you get a small paper with the menu where you have to tick what you would like.

Happy to find this family style diner - Edit
We were on the 'wrong' bus route, but saw the vegetarian sign - and were craving Indian food, so rapidly exited the W3 to Finsbury Park. This place was like an oasis of happiness. Empty at first, but then, by 8pm, it was absolutely rammed; and for good reason. Excellent flavour and balance in the curried veg - chick pea in chapati was an awesome combo. We were one happy family of four by the end. Plus BYOB, very cool.

Nice food, so many options - Edit
Jai Shri is fully vegetarian and if requested, pretty much anything can be made vegan - made even easier by the fact that you write down your own order, so it's easy to write 'all vegan please' on the paper and there's no misunderstanding. We love the chili mogo (spicy cassava chips), the vegetable brown rice (very big portions) and pretty much all the curries. The curries can be a little bit oily, but are all very tasty. The restaurant is cash only and BYOB, but we tend to just drink the sweet lime sarbat on the menu which is really nice. Just don't forget to write your own order and take it up to the counter - we've seen several tables in the past waiting and waiting for someone to come and take their order!
Read morePros: Very vegan friendly, Gluten-free friendly, Cheap
Cons: Can be a bit oily

yummy! - Edit
I came in hungry, I left happy :) The food is simple, but good. Most things are vegan and full of nice flavours. The Dosa was authentical and delicious.

good simple food - Edit
Great healthy and cheap food served in an institution of Turnpike Lane! The food is basic but not oily at all, lovely dosas and Thalis and chill Mogo.
Read moreService is quirky - the guys who work there are a bit stand offish but it adds to the charm. Bring your own booze and most things are vegan
Pros: cheap, tasty, good lunch deals
Cons: service could be more hands on and friendly

Regular visitor - Edit
Handy location right next to Turnpike Lane tube, cheap food and extensive menu and reasonably priced. No alcohol licence but you can BYO and there's an off licence next door but one.
Read moreClosed on Monday's.
Daal Soup is a great starter and the Pea Dosa as a main (although listed as a starter it's too filling to have as a starter).
They ask you to write down your order. We always take guests there when they are in town. Do take aways but not deliveries.
Pros: Exscellent food, Good value, Friendly staff
Cons: Busy at weekends

My personal favourite - Edit
I could wax lyrical about the amount of vegan food on this menu (they don't use ghee) but what I'd really like to flag up is how suitable this restaurant is for gluten free vegans. The majority of the food like dosas etc are made with gram flour so there's very little wheat and the owner has a great understanding of what's suitable for vegans/coeliacs, he's very cautious and extremely friendly.
Read moreThe lunchtime specials are just fantastic value for money and, having eaten there for over two years now, I've yet to find a dish I wouldn't order again.
Aubergine bhajia and sarsan da saag are my particular favourites: Melt in the mouth aubergine tempura and mustard leaf saag, what's not to love!
The lime water sarbat is lovely and refreshing and the masala tea has a real kick to it if you're feeling in need of warming up.
Thoroughly recommended.
Pros: Fast, friendly service , Fantastic food, Excellent value for money

I love this place. - Edit
Jai Shri Krishna is awesome. The selection is almost overwhelming there is so much choice - we're working our way through it and haven't yet tried anything we didn't like. The food is filling, flavourful and an utter bargain. Try one or two starters between two (I love kachories with tamarind sauce), a curry and some rice - the only word of caution is not to over order - just because dishes are cheap it doesn't mean they are small portions.
Read morePros: Great food, Total bargain, Consistently good!

BRILLIANT! - Edit
Went once on a recommendation about a year ago, have been back once a week since. There is a huge range of food which is all totally delicious. The staff are friendly and everything is very inexpensive. Particularly wonderful dishes are the Sarson Da Saag, Bengan Bhartha, Jeera Aloo... everything is amazing though. Would eat there every day if it was possible!

Bringing a touch of Drummond St to Wood Green... - Edit
We really enjoyed our visit last weekend - the food was scrumptious, the portions generous and the range of dishes available on the menu is probably the most varied I've ever seen in India or the UK! We'll be back soon to try some of the other dishes; the staff were very friendly and didn't mind us popping out a couple of times to visit the off licence 2 doors away. And the service was quick - on the way out we bought some sev and chevdo. Highly recommended and as we live 4 blocks away, we'll soon be regulars!
Read morePros: lots!
Cons: musty smell in restaurant

Worthy of Support - Edit
A new venture for the owners of Jai Krishna in Stroud Green Road. Already visited on a number of occasions since the recent opening and, so far, every bit as consistent as their longstanding other restaurant. Varied Indian vegetarian menu at very reasonable prices.
