Reviews
"Best Indian restaurant in London. I have been here multiple times and never had a bad meal; it’s worth waiting months for a reservation! They only offer the a la carte menu at lunch, and at dinner they have a set Thali menu for £55pp which is expensive, but I consider it good value as the quality is top notch and you get a lot of variety. If you like Indian food, I’d highly recommend dining here."
"Wonderful dinner experience here. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The menu is mostly set but you can select your entree. We had the methi chicken and prawns malaikari, plus you get a number of sides and dessert. Everything was delicious. Great flavors and spice throughout the meal. Very reasonably priced. I would certainly come back!"
"Beautiful new space, great service and inviting atmosphere. Had the pleasure to experience “supper club” during my stay in London. Wonderfully surprised that she (Asma) was a part of the experience. Food was delicious and made with lots of love. However, only recommendation is for a better/unique alternative for vegetarians (and dairy free as well) for the main course (not amazing to be eating just some veggies mixed in a ton of rice) - I was def still hungry."
"Very nice evening. I had the royal thali, which was a bit too much food for me, but I enjoyed the small dishes letting me try a bit of everything. Food was solid but most dishes were not especially memorable (the yellow dhaal was unusually good and the desserts were pretty special). Service was attentive but a little unpolished. Overall worth a visit but nothing exceptional."
"This food is sublime, humble, sophisticated. Takes you to places you had never been to. It’s an adventure, a journey, a delight to the senses. What a huge honour to be here. For me, chefs have always been like rockstars. Much respect to them. They elevate one of the aspects anthropologists say makes us truly human: the art of cooking food. 100 of of 10!!! This is the first time in my life I have been emotionally touched by food. I even cried. I talked to the staff and told them this had been the greatest experience and they were so kind and happy to hear it"
