Best Contemporary Indian Restaurants in Croxley Green

A fantastic find! The food was tasty and well prepared, the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, and the staff were friendly and helpful from start to finish. Everything we could have asked for—highly recommended!

Excellent food, more expensive than your average Indian restaurant but you get what you pay for.

The food was really good, but what stood out most was the exceptional service from John. He was genuinely one of the best waiters I’ve come across. From start to finish, his attitude was fantastic, incredibly friendly, attentive, helpful and professional without ever being overbearing. Nothing felt like too much trouble for him, and the way he interacted with us made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after throughout the evening. Great food and an enjoyable experience overall, but John’s outstanding service really elevated the evening and deserves special recognition. He’s a real credit to the restaurant. Would definitely return!

I was genuinely surprised to find such a gem on Kenton Road. Ustav delivered one of the best food and service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Every starter — pathe ki chaat, tandoori hummus, pani puri and kurkure bhindi — was full of flavour, fresh, and prepared with real attention to detail. The mains were just as impressive: the veg handi was beautifully spiced, the lasooni palak paneer had the perfect garlic balance, and the veg biriyani was aromatic and cooked exactly right. The plain roti, butter naan and laccha paratha were soft, warm, and served at the perfect time.What stood out even more was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. Since it was my birthday, they surprised me with a 20% discount, a 25% discount card for my next visit, and a complimentary dessert — such a kind gesture that made the evening feel special. The combination of amazing food, perfect portions, and exceptional hospitality puts Ustav well above most high‑street restaurants. A fantastic find and a place I’ll definitely return to.
