The hostess was very accommodating and understanding, and didn't turn us away. Star 1. Our server, Georgia was amazing with excellent recommendations. Star 2 We had the garlic nan, prawns, chicken ruby and black Daal. Star 3 For dessert, a small yogurt treat with raspberries and lychee. Star 4 Will, a manager, was personable and hardworking - bussing, wiping and setting up tables. He took some time to chat and informed us that Dishoom is coming to NY and we hope he comes along, too! Star 5. Do not skip this experience.

Having originally only went to Dishoom's Carnaby location, I came here for the first time because…read morethis is my friend's preferred Dishoom location. I see why she prefers coming here! The restaurant has gotta be like 4x the size of Carnaby. Not just that, the ambience is way better here. The tables are way more spaced out, so you don't feel super cramped. The open space helps negate the strong Indian spices that emanate from the kitchen. And it just feels way more comfortable. Anyways, our reservation was right at the tail end of the breakfast menu hours and right before the regular menu began, so we were able to get a Sausage & Egg Naan Roll to start. Also had the Lamb Biryani, Goan Monkfish Curry, Mutton Pepper Fry, and Murgh Malai. I mean basically everything at Dishoom is great, and this was no exception. Service was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! I love Dishoom, so you'll have to find a reason for me to not come here. Really good stuff!

We were super excited to try Dishoom during our London visit…read more We started off with Vada Pav - which is definitely a must have! I am glad my cousin forced me to have a full one ;) It does transport you back to Bombay! The okra fries, dishoom house chaat and saffron cauliflower were good too. We liked jackfruit biryani as well - but we were expecting spicy biryani. The decor is that typical old school Bombay in 60-70's. Love all the detailing! But bottom line is there are much better Indian restaurants in NYC and NJ. Dishoom was not particularly a wow factor for us :)

Fantastic dinner! I loved everything I tasted. The variety of sauces brought out at the beginning…read morewere fun to experiment with. (I loved the lemon one!) After the starters, they brought out a complimentary drink that I was highly skeptical of. It looked Bloody Mary-ish, and I hate tomato juice, but one smell, and I was in love! It was so unexpectedly amazing; it was my favorite part of the meal. It was served hot and was very cumin-heavy. It tasted like the best, most flavorful ramen broth you could imagine. I could've downed an entire bowl of that stuff! I dipped my bread (partha) into everyone's sauces, and they were all so good. We tried the regular partha and the kind with egg in the middle. The eggy one was the favorite, but both were delicious. For dessert I got a lemony cocktail - and of course, it was amazing, too. I definitely will plan to come back the next time I'm in London! Oh, but I'll bring a jacket next time! The only teeny-tiny negative is that it was so cold in there!

Quilon was on our wishlist during our visit to London, it is a Michelin star Indian restaurant that…read morefeatures South Indian coastal cuisine with a modern twist. My family tried seafood tasting menu (£125 pp approx $160) but they also offer vegetarian tasting menu for a slightly lower fare £115 pp Their Cod was probably one of the best we ever had. Oyster 2 ways was served very creative, cold with smoked red pepper and hot, pan fried with pepper masala. Vegetarian tasting menu was a bit of disappointment. They started with banana stem soup which was served warm almost tepid, to me soup should be hot. I had to return it. Rest of vegetarian menu seemed like regular South Indian dishes and taste was just ok. Service was quite sub par considering the expectation of a Michelin star restaurant. Our drinks were not filled on time.. we ordered a bottle of champagne and had to hunt down our server to refill it as he kept it in a bucket far away from us. The staff lacked experience in describing the dish. After the dessert course, one of the servers got something sweet in a plate, just kept it and left. I asked her what it was and she had no idea. Overall it was not the experience we expected compared to other Michelin star Indian restaurants in London. But we would definitely go back to have that black cod from ala carte menu.

You have to walk down a flight of stairs to get to the dining room. We started off with the samosa tasting app, which was great. The chutneys were all great. Notably all-around less spicy than the Indian food I'm used to in the states. I ordered the trio of chickens as my entree, and a couple other people at our table got the biryani. My mom ordered a lamb, though, that was the star of the show. Fall off the bone, delicious. That would be on my must-try list.

A friend of the chef organized this dinner for us, and like many other fancy Indian restaurants, they do have a rather silly children policy, but thanks to our host, an exception was made for us. Kutir's experience begins with it's thoughtful setup. You are indeed welcomed in a home with pretty compact seating. Their rooftop seating is really inviting, but we could not seat there because the restaurant wasn't as busy on a Sunday evening. Aarav, our server made food recommendations which included a brilliantly tasty serving of Crab ~ Pepper Fry (£14), Lamb ~ Black Cumin (£24), Jheenga ~ Moilee (£26), and a Bread ~ Basket (£12). Our little one enjoyed the Double Tadka ~ Dal (£8) with some Steamed ~ Rice (£5). The Crab and Jheenga were absolutely spectacular. Desserts were on the okay-ish end and included Chocolate ~ Peanut (£10), and Cassata ~ Rose (£9) which had a very grainy texture. Aarav was very attentive, and friendly towards our little one. Very very good service. Noise levels were on the lower end, and it was easy to have a quiet conversation when we weren't eating all the delicious food! Highly recommend this place for an absolute unique take on Indian food!
