London 2009/2010 Michelin Guide

"A calm and relaxing venue, in spite of the bright interior set off by vivid red walls. Obliging service of carefully presented, flavoursome dishes from southern India"

Hardens 2010

Food = (1) Exceptional

Service = (1) Exceptional

Ambience = (3) Good

Only one of three Indian restaurants to achieve 1,1,3. "The location is "unexciting" and the décor "ordinary", but this Swiss Cottage Indian has won a formidable following, thanks to its "fantastic" service and its "sensational" cuisine - "better than Benares, and half the price!"

Square Meal 2009/2010

"A neighbourhood Indian with a difference, ERIKI produces an imaginative repertoire of dishes that spans the subcontinent from the Punjab to Goa & Chennai (Madras). Standards are kept high by a head chef who has seen service at Red Fort. The spacious dining room is modern & comfortable, enlivened by bold primary colours. Creative seafood starters run from stir-fried calamari rings with Keralan spices to steamed juicy scallops with a hint of garlic. Masala dosa (a crisp stuffed pancake served with coconut chutney) is popular with vegetarians; fish-eaters get their kicks from whole pomfret (marinated in ginger & garlic, then roasted in the tandoor);& rich murgh xacuti from Goa is a winner with poultry fans. Mango milk pudding finishes things off nicely"

Head Chef at ERIKI, Naresh Matta came from Soho Spice and it showed through the excellent meal. We're told ERIKI is rammed full at the weekends and it's easy to see why, restaurants of this quality are hard to find!

Time Out

A trusted destination for proper Indian cooking, Eriki is unsurprisingly popular with nearby British Asians and old India hands. It's a spacious venue, tastefully furnished with chunky wooden furniture, framed fabric hangings, and warm maroon hues - as stylish as it is warmly inviting. Although the menu is predominantly North Indian, its nods to regional cuisine deliver tasty and authentic results. A starter of mini masala dosai, filled with mustardy crushed potatoes, worked well with a dollop of pounded coconut chutney: shame there wasn't any sambar to accompany this classic dish. Butterflied, crumbed and fried amritsari prawns were delectable for their robust garlicky flavour.

Main courses were just as winsome. Murgh makhani palak, the Punjabi inspiration for chicken tikka masala, was fabulous; seared chicken morsels, succulent and smoky, were complemented by a moat of delectable buttery tomato masala. Equally enjoyable, kashmiri roghan gosht boasted meltingly tender meat. The distinctive curry, scented with cardamom, was emboldened by a caramelised onion base. Only the peri peri sea bass sizzler disappointed. Its tomatoey sauce, spiked with chilli and sweet cinnamon, was let down by saltiness. Service is exemplary: attentive, knowledgeable and friendly Rated: 4 out of 5 stars.
