My partner and I eat out at Indian restaurants a lot.. and honestly this is one of the best we've found all around London. The family that own Ma Goa are so lovely and welcoming, they really look after you - it is worth checking out. The food was amazing and I'm hooked ever since I visited a year ago!... More

So I have to confess that last night a hungry wife and I nipped back down to this fabulous Indian and indulged again - barely a month after we were last there and it didn't disappoint. We had the prawn curry with the usual popadums and pilau and okra and the black beans. All excellent.

Travelled from Central London to visit this place which seemed to be the on of the best Indian restaurants around. Great disappointment. One fist course and one main course were good. The other two were just tasteless. The black lentils side order: we had one teaspoon of it, no more. Unlike what we understood from the pictures, the room is... More

I came across Ma Goa while looking at top 10 restaurants in Putney. FIrst impressions were basic decor however rather busy. We never had to wait long for a table. We have never been to a Goan restaurant before and the food is defiantly different to a Indian restaurant. We ordered a starter which was a chicken dish and sweet... More

A first class vindaloo. Pork of course. A lovely soft sauce where you could *feel* the ingredients. A clear signal of garlic, a hint of vinegar. Superb. And the rest of the food was pretty good as well, the papad-based starter, the mango lassi on the side, the pista kulfi. This was at lunchtime on a weekday. Quietish, only two... More

Have eaten at this Putney restaurant a number of times and it has been the same great standard each time. Warm friendly family run restaurant that serves great food. Always worth a study of the specials board, only trouble is which one to choose. Will it be the lobster or the lamb shank or possibly the swordfish! That is not... More
