Probably the best Indian restaurant around. My husband says so, and it's his fave food. Our Indian friend says so. My son who went with me this time said it was the best meal he'd had in a long time. I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, and I love it. Should have remembered not to get the onion rings as they are just not the best thing there. The cauliflower thingies we're amazing. Spinach and lentils to die for. Just everything and anything is top notch. Go!

Delicious dishes throughout! I tried the fried cauliflower, meat skewers, chickpeas and honey chicken with Nan and I can recommend all of them, especially the chickpeas. Next time, I would additionally order something with more sauce to enjoy the Nan even more. I'm sure the waiters can recommend something suitable as they are well organised and friendly. Additionally, the kitchen works very quickly (15 minutes for all dishes on a Sunday evening at 8:30). I'm not an expert, but I wouldn't call the food super typical Indian. I think it's more adapted to the London palate (and also to the London wallet) but: still very spicy if you want and just delicious and absolutely recommendable. I had a lovely evening and would visit again 😻

Incredibly good food in a relaxed atmosphere. This was the best roast chicken I had in about 15 years! Do try their signature tandoori chicken. Absolutely lovely service, too, Kind & caring. I would give more than 5 stars if possible ♥️

A restaurant in the heart of London that is delightful! The decor, ambience, and service were very good, indeed, not to mention the food. Friends opted for the no vegetarian dishes and were very happy indeed with the Kebabs and Chicken. I opted for the cauliflower croquettes, Chickpea chaat with tamarind, pomegranate & green chilli. For mains, I had the Lasooni Paneer and Black Dhal with peshawari Naan, definitely recommend and will be returning in the future. The tea is great, too, for those Asian tea lovers.

This is a great modern take on Indian food. I ordered the hot chicken, the Dahl, and the naan. The hot chicken dish was straight up flavortown. Well cooked tender fried chicken, with plenty of acidic, tangy, crunchy, spicy flavors. Absolutely fantastic. The Dahl was hearty and tasty too. I surprisingly didn’t care for the naan all that much, it was too much like a roti and not a naan. I would have liked more butter and a more traditional taste. I enjoyed that you can use a QR code to pay for the bill, it made this a pretty quick lunch.

Excellent vibes all around - love their decor and moodiness! Their food definitely has a kick to it 🌶️ MUST TRY: - Tandoor lamp chops - Tandoor rib eye - Butter chicken naan 👌 - Bone marrow naan 👌 - Black daal Can skip: - Tandoor grilled chicken: a bit on the dryer side - Onion rings: flavoured batter which is a nice surprise - Garlic naan: just simply too plain compared to the other naans there ALSO they don’t serve rice, so prepare for a naan and meat day. Overall great spot for good food & catch ups. Would recommend for a small group of 4-6 to share more food!

While I did indeed go here it was due to a work arranged dinner and as I'm really not a fan of Indian food I found most of the food largely inedible, which is my fault not the restaurants. Having said that the opinion of colleagues is that the food was fresh and well prepared. The restaurant itself is relatively small and was very busy, with a 2 hour table time.

Found this place by chance and was not sure what to expect. I was not disappointed. The food was delicious. Really great quality food and great flavours. Highly recommend the house tandoor chicken. The staff were friendly and it was a wonderful atmosphere. Very close to the west end for all the tourist stuff and a great alternative to those who love Indian cuisine.

My brother came here last year and highly recommended this place. I don't like to always admit he is right, but he was.... on this occasion, at least! Not a single bad word to say about the food or customer service. Advice would be to ensure you book like he did as it was constantly busy although a weekday. The atmosphere was wonderful, but being me, I looked everywhere, and the ceilings especially could do with some love. More pics of food were taken, but he was acting camera shy so limited. My advice would be to try something you wouldn't usually order from an Indian restaurant, and I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

Best Tandoori I’ve had in London. Butter chicken naan is a must have. Daal was delicious as well. They got all flavours exactly right. Unfortunately couldn’t try the thali experience as I was on my own and it’s meant to be shared. So do come in groups to get the best experience as it’s expensive on your own. Otherwise service and staff were great. Would definitely visit again.
