Talli Joe (Covent Garden)

• S Talli Joe is the exciting new venture of ex Benares chef Sameer Taneja
• There's a delightful menu with cocktails and food from all parts of India
• The service is extremely warm and friendly and offer you the best drink and food recommendations
• Quirky drinks that is sure you bring you back for more
• The closest in proximity we like to get is Old Compton Street and ideally nowhere closer
• The staff makes you feel right at home and is always ready to share a recommendation all of which were amazing
• The cocktails are very fresh and the food is delicious
• I was thinking about it the next day as well which is compliment enough for any restaurant
• I'd definitely go back the first chance I get and it is a must visit for everyone
• Who reinvented the wine bar with food for a generation that suddenly discovered sophisticated dining wasn't all about tablecloths and silver service and was for them
• Matching a counter cultural aesthetic with irresistable comfort food classics hitherto unseen at this standard in the UK
• I visited Talli Joe (Covent Garden) last week as it was recommended by one of my friend A very refreshing ambience and the decor gives a very welcoming and open feel to the restaurant
• Walk in and you're greeted with a delightful mix of aesthetic and elegance
• A place for an Indian to feel at home with very creative twists
• Talli Ho just were perfect for my night
• Truffle Ghee Kulcha was what we had and trust me it took me on a ride to India with new flavours
• Also the black gajar ka halwa was our perfect end
• M never too sure what is authentic and what is not
• Indian food is my guilty pleasure
• Especially with their alcohol
• Wild mushroom rice were all delicious and perfectly portioned for one person each
• My favourite was the Holy Basil made with whisky
• Tea and prosecco which was just the right side of bitter whilst being really refreshing
• I have a Caribbean heritage where Indian spices are frequently used in Caribbean cooking
• M quite familiar with the spices of India and have developed a real love of Indian food
• Visited a second time with a much better experience
• The ambience is like a bistro but Indian style
• Here is a fine tapas place that is for those 'lazy lunchers' or those that like long conversations over supper
• Traditional run of the mill cocktails are given an exotic twist with precious Indian spices such as saffron
• The seafood curry was especially good (fresh)
• My friends tasted and were quite sure that the lamb curry here was one of the best they had tasted in this country and was very authentic
• The interiors are very well designed and has goes really well with the theme of the restaurant
• The service was very good as well
• Overall Talli Joe (Covent Garden) is worth the time and effort of you don't mind tasting quality food and small quantities
• Just one thing to beware there is a little bit of waiting time begins you get seated specially on a Thursdays
• Offers pure desi food with a concept of half Indian plates
• The half plate system is a bit boring because we eat large
• Anyway the food was awesome and the drinks tasted crazily good
• Me and my friends had a great time there so i go with 4.5 stars
• Do order the lamb with luchhi and dal pakodi
• Crispy kale chaat was scrumptious
• Kolhapuri chaap was good too though my brother felt it had tasted even better on earlier visits
• The fried okra and seafood Kempu was done to perfection with the okra taking a slight lead on the seafood
• The flaky white fish with steam still escaping when we cut through it and with a slathering of a tangy
• Rustic thick sauce on top is definitely a must try
• Happy times with loved ones
• Heavenly Indian risotto with the truffle ghee and the mushrooms
• As mellowy and calming was the kumbh kichri
• Thick gravy covered chicken drumsticks(Bohri chaap) served with fenugreek flat bread(methi roti)
• We had the black gajar ka halwa to wrap up our lunch even though time was ticking for our 2 hr parking in Bloomsbury square
• It had a deliberate burnt taste and with the crushed caramelized peanuts was not too bad at all
• The servers were friendly and efficient I must admit and the food was lip smacking delicious
• The cocktails were refreshing and the kale chat was delicious forcing me to go for a second serving
• The Chana chor garam was the winner of them all
• Talli Joe (Covent Garden) reminds me of many places that are open in Delhi NCR
• Casual dining with decent food &
• I did not enjoy much but the twist with peanut chikki was doing magic beneath the teeth
• It instantly cheers you up with the colourful decor
• The food concept is Indian dishes in tapas style
• The cocktail menu is full of different combinations some seem quirky
• We tried one with rum and coffee combination which was served with a Parle G biscuit
• In food the dishes I really liked were kochi beef fry
• The highlight was the black gajar halwa made of heritage carrots which was just yummy
• Ordered the kale chaat which was very tasty
• The dosa was more like papad very crisp as in the photos and is to be eaten as a starter
• Ordered the aloo chaat which was also very good
• The service was outstanding and the food equally good
• The truth is that there are only a handful of items that manage to stand out
• T help but feel that there are far more exciting experiences to be had elsewhere
• The welding of the food culture is done excellently
• Why I would love this more is that there is a clear Bong influence on some of the dishes
• Typically small plate restaurants are dingy and over crowded
• The preparations are mouth watering and filling
• Ah is it ok if I say this is way better than Dishoom
• Their staff is super friendly and helpful
• I thought it was going to be one of those overhyped new trendy places&hellip
• Not sure if it was a bad night but the tables were mainly empty on a week night and yet the service was fairly appalling
• Food was hit or miss with a couple of things very good and others meh
• T recommend or go back given that you are spoilt for choice in London
• Something unique to try out is the Sunflower tea
• The drinks were equally delicious
• Good indian food with traditional and modern style
• The chat of Talli Joe (Covent Garden) is most amazing according to me
• The overall quality of food is quite good
• Excellent food and superb environment with authentic indian restaurant
• We started with few short eats
• Our favourite was keema and pav
• So every indian prefers a good restaurant with some traditional food when they are in another country
• I visited london in 2015 with my family and i found Talli Joe (Covent Garden) very good
• The ambience and the decor is quite well adapted to give an Indian feel which was very attractive
• Being able to find some authentic Indian in abroad is nothing less than a blessing
• This is a place for all Indians out there and having to enjoy some amazing Indian tasks with spicy flavors right from Indian kitchen
• It was good indian food traditionally an with modern style
• Things got off to a good enough start with a very tasty kale chaat and a butter chicken chaat
• The other dish we ordered was the sea bass
• The waiter got the manager who insisted that it was in fact the sea bass
• It wasn't but unfortunately I wasn't in the mood to hang around and argue as we were visiting the cinema
• It was all the worse for visiting with high expectations
• One of the most recommended dish here however it was over even at 7
• Both the seafood and okra were crispy and flavorful
• Bohri chicken with fenugreek bread
• Overall a good Indian food experience but not the very best that I have had
• The manager was generous enuf to let us in inspite of an accident in kitchen and he attended us with uttermost humility
• Seriously one of the best Indian restaurants I've visited in London
