They had all of our favorites: the chickpeas with cauliflower, the papadum, the black lentels, the flavorful rice. And, they also have a great wine list and fantastic service. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and yet not ever bothersome. Based on other reviews on this site and others, I do not think you could go wrong here. Swagat seems reliably a good option for Indian food done right.

I was here with some folks from work and thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. First off, I was curious about the name. It does not sound very Indian...It turns out it is Swahili for ginger since the owners are of Indian origin from Uganda. The paneer kebab, lassi, mushroom rice, coconut milk lamb and chocolate samosas for dessert...everything was delectable. Service was attentive and friendly. I don't give out 5 stars very often but Tangawizi deserves it!

Went to this restaurant as a party of 10 for a birthday celebration, it was a Saturday night and…read morethe restaurant was at max capacity. The restaurant had kindly agreed for us to bring our own cake and helpfully provided lighting of the candles when it was time to do so. We had arranged to have a tasting menu at £48pp in advance of arrival. At first I thought this was quite pricey. Once seated we were asked if we could have some pictures taken of us for their Instagram page, which we were happy to oblige. The staff were highly attentive during our sitting and were quick to accommodate our (frequent) drink requests and needs. The sitting ended up being over the 3hr mark for 8 courses. This was certainly one of the lengthier tasting menus I've experienced and whilst the food service was slow, it can be forgiven upon learning that we were the first large party to have had it and that it was a very busy Saturday evening. A slight disappointment to the evening was the Venison steak, which we had to send back due to it being, well, cold. The waiter apologised for this and removed it from the final cheque without being asked to do so. Shilpa, the chef who had prepared all of our food made an appearance to check in on the menu which was a lovely touch to end a great evening. Upon leaving the restaurant I think the tasting menu price is adequately justified, there are no doubts to the food quality and variety on offer. I would certainly revisit this restaurant again and I will do so in the near future to try the a la carte experience.

The dill & pink peppercorn salmon is a must, as well as the chana masala with saffron rice. Their garlic naan is so fresh, served warm, and the raita is perfectly seasoned. They have a fantastic cocktail menu, a decent wine list, and a lovely staff. They were so kind and helpful, but also not intrusive. A perfect balance. My daughter is right down the street, I'm sure we will be frequent fliers here.

I would recommend to order it. For main my friend and I went for the honey chicken and the prawn tawai. The chicken was very moist The prawn were overall ok but I think they came from a frozen bag rather then fresh. Had a side of bombay potatoes (sorry but doesn't beat dishoom there) and lady fingers (very good cooking on those would recommend as a side) Overall a nice little local with friendly staff.

We were seated at the shared table but only one other person was at this large table. The food here is phenomenal. We got the prawns, butter chicken, naan, and roti. The butter chicken was one of the best I've ever had. The prawns were spiced really well and the lemon added a nice sour flavor. The naan was also super soft. I was impressed by the service as well. They took the time to explain the menu to us. When the roti came out a bit cold, they brought us a new one and offered us a voucher to return. Really amazing people running this place. Will absolutely return when I'm in London again.

We got the following: - Dishoom Margarita - Baba's Sesame Espresso Martini - Dishoom House Chaat: this was an explosion of flavour! Had the sweetness of the pomegranate but also sour from the yogurt and spicy! Definitely recommend this one as a starter. 9/10 - Chicken Ruby: Dishoom's take on traditional butter chicken. Very deep flavour on this and less spicy than the other items we ordered, if you are sensitive to spice you will like this one. 8/10 - Garlic Naan: our choice of vehicle for the chicken ruby! 8/10 - Nalli Nihari Biryani: This was the star of the show and is the chef's Kensington special - only at this location! It is a lamb biryani served in a puff pastry. The waiter (kudos to Rosario) can cut it open for you and is served with sauce, onion, and yogurt on the side. Serves 2, so make sure you come hungry! 9/10 - Dishoom Chocolate Pudding: This is served with a Kashmiri chili ice cream. Super delicious and very unique. I might entertain a chili oil ice cream in the future because of this. 7/10 This was our first night in London and we were not disappointed! Worth the hype!

Their Lamb or Chicken Dansak is very tasty and filling, made, I believe with free range chicken.

The service is quick, although sometimes we've had an item missed off our order but they've re-delivered it with apologies. All in all an excellent delivery service, and they are more than helpful when it comes to asking them about ingredients and suggesting alternative dishes.
