    Hands down the best Indian meal I have ever had. In London for a wedding and friends strongly suggested we go to Chutney Mary's. Wow. You need reservations so plan in advance. It is also expensive (5 people with one round of drinks + service was over GBP 400. But HANDS DOWN WORTH IT. We actually may go back for lunch later this week Plates we would recommend - the artichoke hearts were amazing, the chili lobster, the curry shrimp and the butter chicken. I order butter chicken / tikka masala everytime I have Indian food just to compare and this was the best I have ever had. Highly Recommend.

    Chocolate dessert.

    When you find yourself in London, and are searching for a dining experience, make a reservation at Chutney Mary. The ambiance of the bar area, through to the dining room is one of sophisticated elegance. Our server Sunit is a true professional, and made us feel at home, treated us like VIPs. Of course, we started with cocktails. For my wife, a gin martini, beers for my son and me. The main courses were the star of the show. Our son enjoyed the Butter Chicken, my wife had Afghani Chicken Tikka, and I went with the Lobster, all outstanding. We shared Dal, amazing, and another chicken dish, for which the names escapes me. We finished with a fantastic chocolate dessert. Chutney Mary is definitely a must do when you find yourself in London next!

    If I had the guest list and something to celebrate, this would be the spot.

    This restaurant is peaceful and beautifully designed. I was warmly greeted and seated with an ideal view of St. James. I enjoyed a delicious Aviation cocktail and their venison samosas, which were equally delightful. I didn't dine in the main restaurant, but sat in their Pukka Bar. Before leaving, I explored a bit and captured a few photos to share.

    What an absolutely wonderful experience, this is on my top three list of restaurants in London. China Tang being number one and number three still to be decided...! We had the chefs menu, I'm always a bit hesitant to tasting menus, because you are served so much food, but this was absolutely perfect. The amount of food, the mixture of flavors and texture, the speed with what they where brought out was everything you could wish for. We chose the wine pairing and I definitely recommend that as well. Arrived a little early and enjoyed the new spice old fashion and the Lychee rose martini in the bar upstairs. Such a beautiful space, a great start to what would end up being a wonderful evening. The restaurant was very busy but the noise level was still good, the service was lovely thru out the entire night. I got nothing but admiration for how this restaurant is run, for the fabulous dishes the chef prepared and the ambiance in general, do not miss this gem when in London!

    The artichoke hearts and the samosas were the most interesting dishes of the night. There is a dress code per their site but people seemed to be dressed casually as well.

    Hands down the best Indian food I have ever had. The level of flavor in their sauces is incredible. They taste like they took days to prepare. We were with a group of 7 and every single person was impressed with their meal. The wine list was great with plenty of options. The ambiance is beautiful and inviting. Would definitely recommend.

    Brilliant presentation with every plate, including the excellent "Indian fish and chips" starter.

    Absolutely brilliant food, very attentive service, and a very kind offer to transfer reservations when their sister restaurant Veeraswamy (where we originally were to have been) was unfortunately and unavoidably closed. Of exceptional value was the presentation of the starter dishes, all done beautifully and brilliantly in a luxurious setting. Very quick service which was deeply appreciated as we had a rapid meal prior to a theatre appointment.

    From the cozy, elegant ambiance to the delicious food and impeccable service, Chutney Mary is certainly worth all the hype. Each dish was unique and tasty and the cocktails were creative and fun to explore. We will definitely be back!

    Butter chicken and rice
    Tess M.

    I got the spicy butter chicken, rice, and paratha. They had an order minimum of 60 a person. For 60 I expected a bit more but portions were tiny and it certainly was not spicy. That said the chicken itself was very creamy, but the paratha was a miss. Nice bathroom; a bit of an older crowd.

    Chutney Mary was recommended to us by one of our good friends, and she did not steer us wrong! Chutney Mary was one of my favorite meals in London, and I would go as far as saying one of the best dine-in experiences for Indian food. Can't say that I've even had fine dining at an Indian restaurant, so Chutney Mary set the standard high. The customer service wasn't that great though. Servers were hospitable, sure, but not attentive at all. The food, however, exceeded my expectations and was downright fantastic. We ordered everything as family style, so that we could share. We ordered two appetizers of crispy fried chicken and vegetable samosas, 2 entrees of shrimp curry and butter kitchen, a couple of orders of naan, side of basmati rice, and a side of saag with paneer. All excellent. Only thing that I thought was average was the sticky toffee pudding. Chutney Mary put their spin on it with Indian flavors, but I would've much rather preferred an original version. Also the sauce was really thin and not thick and syrupy how I like it.

We started with some yummy cocktails and the okra fries which were delicious - if only okra always tasted this good. For mains, we shared the chicken tikka, black daal, paneer and garlic naan. Pretty standard Indian order. The chicken tikka was just too spicy and we weren't used to that so it went mainly eaten. My favorite was the black daal but again, it wasn't so amazing that I would go and have it again. Honestly the best dish we had was dessert - the basmati kheer is a perfect rice pudding with crème brûlée like topping. So good. Service was spotty, I constantly found myself trying to find our server or make eye contact with him. They were slammed on a Tuesday night (which I'm sure is the case every night) so that's probably just the way things are but it could've been better. Disappointed but willing to try again, also made me want to try some other Indian spots in London next.

    We had a big family lunch at Dishoom when we were in London last month, and it was everything I…read morehoped for, an Indian restaurant unlike any I've encountered at home. I feel like all my friends who've been to London have come back talking about this place, and I'm happy to join their ranks. Dishoom was also one of a handful of dining options recommended by my hotel concierge for a party of 11, including kids. Booking was easy, via SevenRooms, no phone calls or emails necessary. It's a large restaurant, and part of a popular chain--I guess they have things figured out. The space was great, open and casual, exposed ceilings and eclectic decor. Lots of fans, which my three-year-old appreciated. Service was friendly and attentive. I started my lunch with a drink, a refreshing green India Gimlet, gin and Rose's lime with celery bitters and fresh dill. I also tried and liked a sip of the New Permit Room Old-Fashioned, a slightly sweet cocktail with coconut-washed bourbon, Pedo Ximénez sherry, and Medjool date liqueur. There was only one menu available for a party of our size, a pre-set family-style group feast for eight adults, to which we added a pre-ordered platter of lamb chops. I loved the variety of dishes that came with this meal, and every one of them was ridiculously delicious. (There was less available for the three small American children, but they loaded up on hotel breakfast and snacked on naan and colorful puffed crackers.) The first round brought trays loaded with keema pau, okra fries, and bhel, along with lime, cilantro, and sauces for serving. The keema pau was incredible, probably my favorite dish of our lunch, if in part because it was 100% new to me. It was a spicy, aromatic blend of minced lamb and peas with dill and lindi pepper, served with toasted, buttered buns to make little sliders. So much flavor, it almost explained, by itself, why the British could never leave India alone. The okra fries were warm and crispy, and I loved the bhel, a crunchy snack of puffed rice, peanuts, and Bombay Mix tossed with pomegranate, tomato, onion, lime, tamarind, and mint. The main course was another giant spread: chicken ruby, house black daal, awadhi jackfruit biryani, and chilled broccoli salad, plus our charred lamb chops, with sides of roti, naan, and raita. The chicken ruby was the highlight here, a fragrant, comforting curry Chicken Ruby Tender chicken in a rich, silky makhani sauce. A good and proper curry redolent with spice and flavour. ~ House Black Daal (V) A Dishoom signature dish - dark, rich, deeply flavoured. It is cooked over 24 hours for extra harmony. ~ Awadhi Jackfruit Biryani (V) Sturdy, savoury jackfruit and delicately flavoured rice, potted, sealed and cooked the traditional way. Adorned with barberries and sultanas. ~ Chilli Broccoli Salad (Ve, V) Toasted pistachios and shredded mint leaves with finest, greenest broccoli, fresh red chillies, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, dates and lime. CHARRED LAMB CHOPS 19.90 Two chops of generous proportions lie overnight in raw papaya, yoghurt and humble spices. Blackened on the grill and finished with a thrilling Kashmiri chilli sauce. A speciality of new standing. ~ Roomali Roti (Ve, V) Soft handkerchief-thin bread, thrown, stretched and griddled to order on an upturned tawa. ~ Plain Naan (V) freshly baked in the tandoor ~ Raita (V) Delicate minty yoghurt, cool as a cucumber END WITH YOUR CHOICE OF Mango Kulfi (V) ~ Pistachio Kulfi (V) ~ Malai Kulfi (V) original with caramel

First, I started with the mango lassi which was so fresh and naturally sweet. I loved the fennel seeds on top for added flavor. Such a great start to the meal.

The chilli chicken was also a super flavorful app to share and the garlic naan was great as well.

I particularly liked the mixed greens + beef and bone marrow. But you can't go wrong.
