A little food story — my first time at Holy Cow! I had just arrived from Paris to London and was looking for something comforting to eat. I love Indian food, so I searched for a spot nearby. Bingo — Holy Cow! was only 5 minutes from home. Perfect! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. I had been a little disappointed so far with restaurants in London, and as a French person, I admit I can be picky with food. I decided to go for a safe choice: butter chicken. A very kind lady welcomed me, the place was calm and cozy, and the prices were really affordable (especially compared to what I’d seen in London). While waiting, they brought me some Indian-style crisps with three sauces — mint, mango, and onion-tomato. The mango sauce exploded with flavor in my mouth, and at that moment, my excitement began to grow. About 20 minutes later, a wonderful plate was placed in front of me. The aroma alone made me smile. I tore a piece of garlic naan, dipped it in the sauce, and… wow. Amazing. I wanted to cry, the flavors and spices were so rich and perfectly balanced. I even paused the YouTube video I was watching, just to focus and fully appreciate what I was experiencing. It was in that moment I realized: this is actually my new favorite restaurant in London.

Having just moved into the area, we were a little worried about where we’d get our curry fix, but worry no more! This place has exceeded all our expectations. We haven’t eaten in yet, but it’s become our Friday night takeaway tradition, and it’s consistently fantastic. The food always arrives fresh, hot, and full of flavor, with excellent quality every time. Our personal favourites are the Chicken Mangalore (36) and the Saag Paneer, both absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, flavorful curry!
