Indian restaurant in Shadwell with online delivery via Hungry House and Just Eat. It delivers to South East London (well Camberwell at least) from (Hungry House but not Just Eat) which is unusual for places in East London. Their website says they do free delivery within 5 miles, minimum order £15. It used to be called River Spice.

secretlondon ordered from here one weekday evening in August 2011. I had chicken momo (£4), gosht kata masala (£8), saag paneer (£3.55), pilau rice (£2.55), plain paratha (£2) and bangla salad (£3.25).

It arrived within the time and with two poppodoms, one of which was burnt. The chicken momo wasn't what I was expecting. Momo are Tibetan dumplings. This was one long stuffed chapatti with a seasoned chicken filling. It was okay but wasn't momos.

The lamb curry was fine and the paratha okay. The bangla salad was just tomato, cucumber and coriander, not the "mixed salad dressed with mustard oil, fresh chilli, coriander and lime juice". I couldn't taste any chilli and it was generally disappointing.

My general perception is that it is over priced for what it is. They charge premium curry prices for a takeaway but don't deliver a premium product.
