SKVP has a really good ambience with a Bollywood theme and is spacious too.. however a little bit disappointed with service and food.. With just 3/4 customers also there was a delay and dish was appearing in installments 😄 .. We had pav bhaji tasting good amongst all other dishes but the quantity of bhaji was less and sufficient for 1.25 pav ... Dabheli was just a stuffing inside pav with no garnishing and tasting average.. Samosa chat received without smashed and it was plain in taste .. Mango lassi was frozen bottle.. Chai not up to the mark .. SKVP is preferred due to veg tag.. I have tasted same dishes in Karak Chai and ammy kitchen was far better ... Pls take this review for suggestions will visit again in few months 👋

**Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs!**
I recently ordered Pav Bhaji and Paneer Biryani, and I can confidently say it was one of the worst food experiences I’ve ever had. Let me break it down for you:
1. **Paneer Biryani**: This dish was *supposedly* a delicacy, but it tasted like a disaster. The paneer was rubbery and flavorless, and the biryani had no soul—just a bland, overcooked mess. It felt like they threw random spices together without any thought. How can something so amazing in concept turn out so horrifically bad?
2. **Pav Bhaji**: Where do I even begin? The bhaji was *bitter*—yes, bitter! It was clear that the vegetables were spoiled, and instead of using fresh ingredients, they just froze old leftovers and reheated them. The texture was mushy, and the taste was downright offensive. The pav (bread) was stale and dry, like it had been sitting out for days.
The fact that they serve reheated, spoiled food is absolutely shocking. It’s not just lazy—it’s downright disrespectful to customers. Save your money and your taste buds; this place is a culinary nightmare. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.
**0/10 – Never ordering again.**

Had a great impromptu meal with my wife and toddler, who was entranced by the Bollywood videos. Agni helped gave fast efficient service and steered the toddler away from spicy food

Food is ok. Vada pav is good. We had vada pav, sabudana vada, papdi chat and gazar halwa. Halwa was not good, papdi chat was okiesh, sabudana vada was undercooked. We were served by Agni who was thoroughly nice and professional.

Very nice food. Attendant Priya was very helpful. Only thing is that they should work on is improving the app and coverage especially when they prefer ordering using bar code as it gets difficult to order sitting inside with limited coverage.
Food is amazing though so we don't mind 😋

Frustrating Wait, Poor Communication – Not Worth the Hassle!
I had a very disappointing experience with this restaurant’s takeaway service. I was told my order would be ready in 10–15 minutes, but I ended up waiting for 35 minutes. After 15 minutes, I was informed that one of my dishes—an Indo-Chinese item—takes longer to prepare, something they failed to mention earlier. Most of the other items were ready within 15–20 minutes, yet I was left waiting due to their poor communication.
I understand that delays can happen during busy times, but the staff should have been upfront about it instead of repeatedly saying, “It will be ready in 5 minutes.” To make matters worse, I wasn’t the only one facing this issue—another customer was also stuck in a similar situation, frustrated by the misleading wait times.
This lack of honesty and proper time management was unacceptable. If they had given a realistic estimate from the start, I could have planned accordingly. This experience makes me hesitant to order from here again, and I hope they improve their service and respect customers’ time.

The food at SKVP was fantastic, and Priya was a warm and friendly host who took great care of us, making our visit even more enjoyable.

Placed a Click & Collect order 40 minutes in advance, with the app confirming it would be ready in 20 minutes. Upon arrival, the staff had no record of my order and were completely indifferent about the issue. No attempt to resolve it or offer an apology—just a lack of basic customer service.
On top of that, the food quality has significantly deteriorated over time. SKVP really needs to improve staff training, fix app issues, and focus on maintaining food quality. Disappointing experience overall!

Shree Krishna Vada Pav in Reading offers an authentic taste of Mumbai street food. Their vada pav is a must-try—crispy, spiced potato filling in a soft bun with flavorful chutneys. The menu also includes tasty options like bhajia and vada misal, all at affordable prices. While service can be slow during peak hours, the fresh and delicious food makes up for it. With a casual ambiance and dishes under £13 it’s a great spot for Indian street food lovers.
Thanks to Priya for good services.

Shocking. This place going down hill. Most dishes unavailable on the menu at 8.30pm. Asked for misal Pav, oh we don't have Pav. Order anything without Pav. Masala chai, oh we run out. Sabudana wada-they didn't have that either. Order hakka noodles, waited half hour and our dine order was sat on the counter packed as Takeway. The bald scar head guy only realised when I asked about my order. Then just brings the box over to me to eat. Asked for plates, they ran out of plates too. I asked him if they are closing down for good. Just nodded his head "no" and walked off.
Only the Hounslow SKVP is a better place out of all SKVPs. Reading is run by Mickey Mouse. Don't bother. Let down on far too many occasions. They way it's going, nothing will be available on the menu.

Heating was not working and it was a total inconvenience to dine in- Shaking and shivering ! When asked, the staff was very lethargic, and didn't seem to be bothered much about it, said that they have been experiencing heating issues . Food order took longer than the promised time. Noodles were not available although it was there in the menu and I had to order something else. 10 minutes I can see Noodles being served for another customer at the next table. Totally a pathetic experience , couldn't appreciate the food even a bit amidst all these.
