Chutney Mary

NAKUL RETDHANIA

A decent Indian cuisine fine dine place in the heart of London. Perfect for those special occasions that require well rounded dining experience including good “close to desi” food, “great” ambience and “decent” service. A little towards the dearer side, with an average vegetarian meal for 2 costing around £90-£100. Maybe I am an exception, but the service could be a bit better. I had to search for the right person to discuss my reservation. Didn’t see anyone coming promptly to assist me as I entered the premises.

Chutney Mary is a fine dine Indian restaurant. One has to make reservation beforehand. Walk-ins are perhaps not entertained. We went there for dinner and we were greeted and welcomed by their friendly staff, helped with our coats and escorted to the table. The serving staff was friendly, and recommended some dishes as we wanted to try house special meals. Starters: 5/5 We tried Tokri chaat and Chili glazed Paneer Tikka. Tokri Chaat is just outstanding. Main course: 3.5/5 We ordered Mawa Mewa Kofta Curry and Bengal Daal. Kofta was hard, dryish and daal wasn’t cooked well. Daal also had prominent taste of turmeric (which only happens, in my experience, when turmeric is not added to tadka. Can’t expect chefs of such highly regarded restaurants to not know/care about this) Roti/naan were good. Portion sizes are small, each adult needs at least one main dish. Desserts: We tried Payasam Brûlée and it was the most delicious dish on their menu, made to perfection. Can’t recommend enough. And finally, a really warm gesture when they served a decorated plate with a small cheese cake and a candle to celebrate my partner’s birthday.

This place is beautiful. It's in a fantastic location in the heart of one of London's most fashionable areas. It's dimensions are deceptive and theirs acres of space for a quiet business lunch or a big dinner party. The food is as you can imagine beautifully flavoured and presented. The only down side is the price. Enjoy it if you get the opportunity.
