I was told Indian food in London is better than that in India. I have never been to India but the food at SohoWala is amazing, and it did not cost as much as I heard of other places.
Came here for the afternoon tea. Wonderful service, pleasant environment. Extremely affordable, champagne included. Small hiccup, there was a hair in my chocolate fudge cake, they did give me another one and apologies were offered, but it was hard and seemed like it had been takem out the fridge. Was rather full by the time we worked our way up anyways. Other than that it was lovely.
Loved the champagne afternoon tea at Soho Wala / The Courthouse Hotel. Feels a bit strange having afternoon tea in an Indian restaurant but definitely can't fault the food, service and overall experience. The staff were really good about offering more tea and extra clotted cream when I requested. All food was really well presented and was a good selection overall. We ate the lot and even stayed for an extra glass of champagne !
Very underrated place in Soho that offers tasty street food Indian dishes. I recommend sticking with the small plates and grills instead of the mains.
The chicken matchsticks and okra fries are my favs. The waiter is also so lovely and friendly.
Lots of options on the menu and the prices are really good for the area. Especially with the small plates menu.
New place but friendly staff. Limited choice and they missed lassi off the menu but was told maybe it will be added in the future (they've only been open about 5 weeks). Pani puri was nice but the water was not as strong as I'd like, aimed at a non Indian palette? The mains were good, hubby liked the chicken and dhal and that's something (slightly fussy comes to mind). We initially thought the portions were small but they were just the right quality for 2 adults and 2 children. The aubergine main was lovely. We didn't have desserts but had a couple of hot chocolates.
I purposely waited for people to leave and took pictures without them so you can see the decor.

Would you believe me if I told you that I’d recommend everything that we tried? If you love Indian food, you will really love this place. If you can’t handle spice, don’t even worry about it because this place is perfect, just fresh taste and amazing flavours 🤤 If anything - it’s just right and I’m here sounding like Goldilocks right now🤦🏽♂️ lol. Some of you know how much I love hot sauce right? So trust me on this when I tell you.
The Pani puri (shells) were nice! I’ve tried a few now being that I’m married to a beautiful Asian girl, but by far this is the best we’ve both tasted! Oh my days! The chicken wings! These were just so DELICIOUS! Loved every single bite, very well seasoned and nice touch with the hint of ginger. The kali dal (lentils) and naan was just comforting people, so rich and flavoursome like, I could eat this everyday! NOW, the Briyani! I not a Briyani person but this?! Bro! Best I’ve ever tasted! So much flavour! AND THE SMELL was just amazing. So fresh! Definitely made with love. Shoutout to Head Chef Rajesh! The Byadgi Murg Chicken was one of my favourites along with the dal, briyani and dessert yeah lol. The chicken pieces were to die for, clay oven baked people! The texture and flavour was just sooo good!!! Lastly, the desserts. My GOSH! Both were amazing, but The Gulab Jamun Cheesecake - GAME!! CHANGER!!
Big big thank you to Ravi, for the perfect hospitality, his playlist was pure levels! Felt like I was at a wedding with all these dope tracks! The whole vibe was nice. Shoutout to the manager, Arvind Kumar who was a true gent. Everything was perfect!

I hope you enjoyed this review because I enjoyed writing it! Soho Wala is by far the best/ freshest Indian food I have ever tasted in @london. That is a very big statement, I know.
Hidden gem in Soho. Excellent traditional taste. Good Ambiance and great prices.
Went here on Wed Night. Ordered a bunch of different appetizers (dahi puri, bhelpuri, papdi chat, pani puri and pao bhaji) and their signature kali dal with buttery choor choor naan. Everything tasted amazing. Their puris (both dahi puri and pani puri) arrive in a cute little cart. There is also option to spike the tasty pani of pani puri with Vodka. Of course, did that. The pao bhaji was absolutely delicious and dal makhni (kali dal) did not disappoint. Left licking our fingers with those buttery naan. Must try this place. On par with some of the Michelin star restaurants like Gymkhana. Highly recommend!
Amazing atmosphere. Wonderful Indian taste. Tried bhelpuri dahi puri and chaat. Food was delicious and great presentation. Overall the ambience and decorations bring the real indian feel. Wonderful for a quick snack and main course menu also looked promising. Wonderful.
Wonderful place to visit with friends or family, I will say the food at Soho Wala is absolutely amazing. The flavours in the curry’s and mains were extraordinary, they really made street food look very beautiful and tasted very authentic. I loved the pani puri and the sauces really compliment the dishes. The customer service is fantastic and I would highly recommend. Great experience!
Lovely afternoon tea -loved the bubbly sandwiches were fine bread fresh but bit uninspiring. Scones good and very nice selection of cakes
