"Unequalled South Indian cuisine"

A review of Geeta Restaurant by John Kehoe written on Monday 28th of February 2011

I have been going to Geeta for over 25 years, having discovered it when I lived in Kilburn and nobody except a few locals knew about it. Now I live in Wiltshire but still go back as often as I can, usually every 4-6 weeks. I rate this as the finest South Indian cooking I have ever experienced, and I have been around! Geeta remains utterly consistent. The masala dosai is famous of course. But the vegetarian side dishes are amazing and you could make a "menu de degustation" from a selection of these. Of the main dishes, the Kerala fish curry, the lamb kofta, the prawn dansak, and, yes the meatballs (ignore that other review, it's nonsense!). I could go on, but none of the dishes will let you down. The sauces are astonishingly varied and delicious: they enrich and enhance the ingredients but never overwhelm them. The portions are generous (it's easy to over-order). The staff are very friendly but not annoyingly so - you will not be pestered. The lady who runs it is a slightly shy but charmingly dignified Indian lady, who also makes her own delicious kulfi. Oh yes, the prices are very modest indeed. Buses stop nearby, and it's not a long walk from Kilburn or Brondesbury stations..
