The food was very delicious! We ordered chicken 65, vegetable Manchurian, pani puri and Punjabi samosa! Each item was perfectly spiced and delicious. The masala Chai was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant. Service was excellent, and the team went above and beyond to fulfil our wishes. Would highly recommend the place.

Had a lovely evening meal. Food, service and atmosphere where great. Staff were friendly. We ordered the mixed grill and it was excellent. Well cooked, tasty and good portions. Only downside was the group of people behind us were very loud which disturbed a number of tables. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning there soon.

Food is good but pricey. Screaming unruly kids on tables near us spoilt the evening for us.

We had heard a lot about this place and decided to visit the place for a Sunday lunch. The place is very spacious and a wonderful ambience. The decor is chic and modern with an ethnic touch. The service was attentive and good. The cocktails had a desi touch and were well made. The starters were very tasty and good portions. The palak patta chaat was a standout. We were slightly disappointed with the mains both in terms of taste and quantity. Over all a good place for some quality Indian food.

Food was incredible, huge variety of dishes and some catered to a peanut allergy. Service was good considering a large table. Busy, noisy and bustling atmosphere at peak times on weekends so not for everyone but we enjoyed. Palak paneer was next level but the masala tea is not the best. Would 100% go back.

We had been wanting to try Social Dhaba for quite some time, and it has the potential to become our favourite high-end Indian restaurant. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff who took us to our table. They were attentive, polite, and made a special effort to engage with my kids. For starters, we ordered the Basil Paneer Tikka and the Mixed Grill Platter. Both dishes were bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection with a lovely char. The lamb chops stood out as the highlight of the platter, tender and juicy. For our main course, we chose the Murgh Makhanwala, which was creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet, and the Hariyali Gosht, had marinated lamb tikka that was tender. Although I would have preferred it spicier, both dishes were rich, aromatic, and had a generous amount of meat. Portion sizes were substantial, and the prices were reasonable. The only downside was the naan. At £4.74, the garlic naan was pathetically small and cut into 3 little pieces. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent food. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.
