In a change from my usual weekend plans, I had been booked for some bouldering later in the afternoon. I was not familiar with that particular pasttime but was to soon find out that it involves people climbing, without ropes, on a variety of man made climbing walls. For safety, the walls are of limited height, so as to prevent rather graceless plummets from becoming lethal falls. A good thing for me as I would usually eat far too much for lunch. Makes maintaining balance and wall hugging antics slightly difficult. As I was tempted to tell my fellow climbers, this is the tough life of an amateur (and often uninvited) food critic. Wishing to give as accurate a review as possible, I try to often eat as much of the menu as possible, and sometimes too much. Ahh, the trials I go through in the name of objectivity.
Wonderful atmosphere. The place is small but neat. Started with a sholay feeling nostalgic. Thereafter the Chandini chowk tiki and the Shammi kabab. The main course consisted of the sumptuous biryani and the laal maas and the ubiquitous butter chicken. The food was great
We had the six course tasting menu. It lived up to its expectations of Indian food with modern presentation that clean and controlled. My fav was the crab and lamb chop. What I liked was the restaurant truly Indian staff vs. from greater South Asia (nothing against anyone, just adds to the authenticity of the place). Deepak was the restaurant manager at our time. Great service!
Came here upon the recommendation of a colleague that works nearby.
The place looks absolutely stunning from the moment the curtain opens. The lavish decor helps set mood for what is going to be a delectable meal.
The waiters are very helpful and will help guide you through the menu with relative ease. We came while the early bird special was still being offered (I believe before 630pm) and this provided us with the best value as we could sample everything on the menu with 3 people.
The food was phenomenal, hands down some of the best Indian food I've had outside of India. We will definitely be recommending this restaurant to friends and family visiting London.
Exceeded expectations, every dish was packed with flavour and extremely well-executed - the chicken tikka for example melted in the mouth.
The lunchtime/early evening tasting menu is great value, and was more than enough to satisfy this very hungry diner.
Highlights were the starters and tandoori dishes (especially the stone bass), but the curries were also very good. Didn't think I could manage a dessert, but they forced a complementary one on me anyway as it was my birthday, which was a fantastic touch (and absolutely delicious).
The cocktails are well worth delving into, even the virgin ones were great.
Had a fantastic experience for my birthday the staff and manager where extremely attentive. The manager helped with food allergies and made sure we were all catered for. Was given a beautiful complimentary sweet plate for my birthday. Soft shell crab to start was so tasty. Malvani prawn curry for main was sublime! Mango rasmalai for dessert was amazing. Malabar potatoes are to die for! The whole evening was fantastic start to finish, we loved every minute. Felt like a VIP all night. We will definitely be back! The atmosphere, music and decor are all top notch! We couldn't fault a single thing. Thanks to all the staff who served us for incredible service. And compliments to the chefs who created the best food we've ever had!
Sweet touch on picking up my note that I had left with my reservation and arranging a complementary cake / dessert for my Mum - since we were there to celebrate Mothering Sunday! She was overjoyed. Mateo and the Indian gentlemen (should’ve asked his name - my bad!) who served us all evening were just so amiable and hospitable. Lovely experience. And the food - well it was incredibly delicious! An evening well spent! Cheers, Jamavar team. Surely making another reservation very soon!
