The Tamil Crown
11 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/LondonFood, r/london13 comments cited below
What people say, in short
The Tamil Crown in Islington receives recommendations for South Indian food and atmosphere. One diner calls it a lovely place, and another counts meals at the Tamil Prince and Crown among their best of the year. The reservations are about style and value: one commenter finds the group westernised but interesting, while another considers the Crown a little overrated. A tentative Sunday-lunch suggestion is not treated as confirmed availability.
