Name: Patri

Rating: 4.5

103 Hammersmith Grove, London W6 0NQ · Indian restaurant, Asian fusion restaurant, Asian restaurant · 4.5/5 Google (970 reviews)

Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Lively Indian street-food spot with generous thalis and standout chaats; service is warm but pace and pricing add-ons can frustrate.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Patri delivers solid neighborhood dining with vibrant, flavorful street-food cooking and genuinely warm, attentive service that earn consistent praise from repeat diners. However, inconsistent execution between in-house and delivery experiences, combined with tight table spacing and pricing add-ons that inflate bills, prevents it from reaching grade A territory. Strong for casual Indian dining in the area, but lacks the polish or distinction of premier local establishments.

Restaurant Summary

Patri lands as a cozy Hammersmith hideaway where chaats crackle, thalis sprawl, and staff keep things warm and welcoming. Diners talk about generous platters and small kindnesses like split chai or a surprise curry. One summed it up as, "big flavours, bigger portions," though a few flagged slow service on busy nights and table space that can feel tight. Pricing add-ons like service charge and a VAT complaint also appear, so bills can climb faster than expected. The cooking leans modern street-food with an elevated touch: think vibrant Old Delhi-style chaats, tandoor grills, and shareable thalis that showcase variety over theatrics. Most in-house meals get high marks for freshness and spice balance, while delivery feedback is mixed with a few reports of sweetness or sameness across curries. If you love lively Indian flavours presented for sharing, this is right in your lane. Families do well here: the sharing format, naan, and mild chaats give kids easy entry points. There is no separate kids menu mentioned, but options like butter chicken, paneer tikka, and rice make it approachable. Portions are generous, though the room is compact; arrive early or book if you need extra space for a stroller, and confirm spice levels for picky eaters.
