The Delhi Brasserie 44 Frith Street, London W1D 4SB

"We walked in at 10:45 pm, it was one of very few options available at that time of the day. We were five but only two of us wanted to eat a full meal since they just landed. I told the waiter about the situation as soon as we walked in, and they gave us a table. We picked our dishes, which included a bunch of sharing plates and some drinks for the rest of the party who had already eaten. At that point, the waiter said that each person has to spend at least £15 on food. We explained the situation once more, but he wanted us to order at least 4 mains. Things didn't improve after we asked to talk to the manager. Since our friends were too hungry and out of options, we decided to let them eat at the restaurant while the remaining three left and waited outside. The staff didn't budge when they saw us walk out. I understand they have this rule to avoid people taking advantage and occupying seats without consuming food, but it was 11 pm on a Monday night with no chance of filling the table that we left empty. If i were running the business I would have preferred to see a happy customer rather than blindly enforce a rule. Those who proceeded with the meal said that the food was ok but portions were ridiculously small. Generosity is not a thing in this restaurant. We overheard a couple at the table next to us going through the same argument, because the girl only wanted to order a side instead of a main."

"AMAZING FOOD. I went there yesterday with a friend from US. It was one of the most authentic desi food I’ve ever tried in London. Everything was lovely. I got Lamb Biryani that was lovely just like the one you get in Pakistan then I had Chicken Korai curry which was great too accompanied with Parata and Garlic naan. Everything was on point including the spice. The only thing I felt was the quantity compared to the price but 10/10 Definitely going back."

"Extremely impressed with this Indian restaurant. Situated on Frith Street in Soho, I needed some spicy food after an afternoon booze-up, and was delighted with the quality of the food. My Goan curry, with salmon, was absolutely delicious, a sauce full of spicy dimensions and seasoning, and the salmon still soft, not overcooked at all. Side of aloo gobi was also great, and the naan was hot and fresh. Not the biggest of portions, a little more cauliflower would have been nice, but enough per person, and I’d rather have outstanding food than quantity (as long as the quantity is enough). I eat a lot of curries, and this was one of the best I’ve had this year; service was also excellent, so I look forward to visiting again."

"I have been coming to the Dehli Brasserie for many years, it is my culinary home in London when I visit. I have never once been disappointed. Of course the wonderful food, the wide and varied menu, but also the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the attentive and professional staff, beautiful decor, perfect location. What more can you ask. This restaurant has existed for many years, and for very good reason. Probably the best Indian food in London."

"Overpriced, low quality food. You pay for the location and not for the ambience or food or quantity. The portions were quite small. The curries were not tasty. Not sure how an Indian restaurant with such low quality can be in the center of London. The thali in the photo may look excited to some, but if and when you will try it you will realize why not to have it."
