Amazing place in London. I love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. Congratulations to the staff.
I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. Tasty food, good ambience and friendly staff. I will be there again when I am back in London next. Authentic Kerala cuisine.
michelin star indian Restaurant in London , with south indian theme and flavors, this is speciality restaurant you have to have liking for such food.the place is wonderful excellent service , expensive but totally worth.Dont miss
I went to this Indian restaurant on my recent travel to london and boom ! i loved it in and out...it is a michelin star restaurant managed by taj so it is obviously higher end and expensive..but since I was staying in Taj and this restaurant is rite next to hotel and since i am an Indian it was a total blessing...food was perfect indian taste ...and so was ambience..i felt like being back home.
Good Indian food , the menu has minimum options , must try Rasam , mini masala dosa and cauliflower chilli fry & quilon fish curry . Always full must book before .
The main course featured Seafood Biryani - basmati rice studded with fish and shrimp, mixed with herbs, spices, and dried fruit - and sides of delicious Fish Curry, Coconut with Asparagus and Snow Peas, and Yogurt Sauce. Also on the plate was a deep fried Sesame Okra. The vegetables were surprisingly simple and vibrant, and provided a nice crunchy juxtaposition to all the seafood.
Warm ambience, enjoyed serenity - a good change from hustle bustle of most of the restaurants; good food but it should add more options on vegetarian side! Hot rasam was refreshing. Baked yogurt was excellent - not to be missed.
Restaurants get Michelin stars for a reason ... and this restaurant QUILON is worth every penny and every second of ur time. ( If you have a taste for India specially South Indian food). Would recommend try the Mini Masala DOSA, Baked Black Cod, Lamb Biryani. Staff are extremely courteous. 5/5 on every aspect of a restaurant.
Very impressed by this restaurant did not know what to expect as it was last minute booking.
They were very friendly from the telephone booking to the waiters at the restaurant.
We ordered quite a lot for two people we started with the masala dosa for starters and for mains we went for prawns masala ( Excellent a must try ) and lobster butter sauce ( boring nothing much happening catered to the English ).
As well the mango curry was very nice and the okra fried both were very good !
The tomato rice as well is very nice and a must try.
Over all a very nice place for your south Indian food !!
Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Ambience 3.5/5
Over the years, I’ve collected some rather tasty memories at Quilon – the Michelin-starred restaurant specialising in the coastal cuisine of South West India. It’s where my family and I celebrated my momentous milestones back in my school days. Quilon also catered my best friend’s wedding breakfast a couple of years ago – and as I recall, there was a slight lapse in my bridesmaid duties as I snuck off to snaffle a few of the idi-cupcakes making their rounds.

Lovely dinner experience with great service and delicious Indian cuisine. We stumbled on this restaurant by researching our hotel (Conrad St. James) that we stayed nearby. It so happens that a reservation was available for our final night in the city and we're so glad we decided to dine herem
The ambiance is modern, elegant and inviting with lots of seating available.
We were looked after by a very nice server and team, who were genuinely warm and welcoming. The menu was explained well and we ended up choosing the sea food tasting menu for the evening. As this restaurant specializes in sea food, it was agreat choice. The food was truly delicious, all courses expertly crafted and prepared. Very impressive, even my wife who typically does not like Indian food, absolutely loved it!
We ended up not doing the wine pairing, but sampled some of their cocktails instead. They were very good, especially one called Indian lady.
The delicious desert was also part of the course which was enhanced by a special birthday slice for my birthday celebration.
Overall, this restaurant is outstanding, definitely up there with some of the best I've been fortunate to dine in. 5/5 Highly recommended.
It is a Michelin star restaurant. So it is British version of authentic south indian food. Still I found it good for non Indians to start exploring cuisine just to get the feel of it.
I cannot say enough amazing things about this restaurant. This is one of the very few Indian restaurants you’re fine that is a Michelin star take on South Indian cuisine from the state of Kerala. Many of the dishes I’ve enjoyed eating at home was presented here in a refined, upscale manner full of flavor respectably, representing the traditions of Kerala cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant when in London.
Got lucky, booked this place last min. They specialise in South Indian seafood,
We got the seafood taster menu. They altered their taster menu for us a little bit which was really nice of them.
Service was excellent. Staff very friendly. Food was delightful. This place does live up To it’s Michelin star rating.
Was good food, unique style and presentation. Sambar came in a little cocktail glass, unique. Saat, a South Indian chaat with fried little idli’s.
Had a thaali which was decent, but normal presentation. Overall neat place.
Service was lacking. Staff wasn’t able to understand me fully or my questions, where they had to bring in another staff member who was very helpful. Love that the staff is from Kerala, true to the restaurant’s roots, but better communication would be nice.
Celebrated my birthday here and truly fantastic experience. I did come here for a full foodie tasting experience many years before but this time I was so happy to come with my husband. The prawn curry was absolutely sublime and we were very impressed by the exceptional service. The papadams weee served with exquisite chutney and pickles. The rasam in the glasses was a fabulous touch. The baked yoghurts at the end were a touch of class. I will bring my dad here next time. The flavours of south India are shining here. Thank you.
We were greeted well, with the waitress taking our coats and showing us to our reserved table. My family and I got the vegetarian taster menu and a few cocktails. The food is very low risk with basic tastes. Hardly any spice and even dishes where you may feel they could make it more sour or add a tangy kick it never came. The cocktail was not very strong either. Service was friendly and explained the dishes but we're not very attentive in refilling water. Overall for £60 to £70 per head I'd recommend saving your money and going to a nicer restaurant in Mayfair. Weighing up the price and standard of food it was not worth it.

Restaurant: Great ambience, clean toilets.
Service: exceptionally good service.
Food: portions are small for the price. The complimentary papad and rasam were really good and adds that surprise package to what restaurant has to offer.
Starters: mini masala Dosa was good. It was just decent Dosa. Sambar was not great. Very mild and could have been little spicy. Southern saat was exceptional. Broccoli and spinach gallette was slightly oily but tasted really good.
Main: Tava parathas were really good with lots of layers. Mango curry is a must have. As a south Indian myself, I must say this is the must have in this restaurant. Cottage cheese and colored peppers was decent. I was particularly disappointed with the use of basmati rice in both tomato and lemon rice given that south Indian rice recipes do not call for flavoured rice. Lemon rice very tangy. Tomato rice was much better with flavours balanced.
Drinks: we tried multiple drinks qojito and frozen mango margarita. Both drinks failed to capture any essence of south India for me. But they were decent nevertheless.
Dessert: We had room for very less dessert so we ordered only one baked yoghurt. It was so good that we ended up ordering another one. It comes with three flavours: mango, lychee and jaggery. Jaggery one is ultimate.
Overall the food is really good though the portions could have been better for the premium price.
The Beer and Curry tasting menu was incredible. Beautifully presented courses that tasted even better. Very good value as well.
Quilon has a lot going for it - a Michelin star, great service, excellent food that allows its patrons to explore novel dishes that draw inspiration from coastal south Indian cuisine.
However, the only reason I'm docking a star is that this place needs a bit of an overhaul. The ambience feels dated and is unimpressive, the attention to detail is lacking (our drab white dining table cloth had stains from a previous meal, there were fingerprint stains on the wall). Overall, it feels like the place is in serious need of renovations.
Nonetheless, the team is doing an excellent job with the food and the service, and that is something I greatly appreciated. Would recommend visiting for the food!
