    Came here in 2019 when I lived in the area, best Indian food in London! Came back in 2024, visiting from the states and still best Indian food! Great atmosphere and great spot to bring friends!

    Came here while visiting London in the late evening an hour before closing time. Started with the cheese appetizer paneer tikka which was great and non-oily. Ordered the butter chicken with rice and naan. The butter chicken was the thick and creamy variant with white nuts, spiced to perfection. At first taste, you sense a loss, but the savory spices catch up at the top of your tongue as this Indian delight in Kensington, London. Now, we all know London has great Indian restuarants so every time I visit my favorite city, I have to hit a few. This place is small, cozy and and has a family-like atmosphere. The owner was really nice and cares about the service and customers.

    The setting.

    We were lucky to get a spot! The rain and bad weather worked out in our favor, which is a good thing, as there was a cancellation. The hosts were amazing, friendly, and kind. They graciously turned away people due to being full, and either suggested take away, or other local restaurants in the area. They seemed to know their local patrons all by name. The food, superb!! The atmosphere!! Superb!! Everything was excellent. The food was probably the best I've ever had, including spending a month in India. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know, and will go back next time I'm in London.

    Best indian food ever in town, polite staff and cosy atmosphere and reasonable price, have been a regular customer since 2005 and love every dish on the menu, don't forget to try the delicious almond ice cream

    Very nice, I'm a Chinese so a little confused about Indian food, the manager(seems like:)) explained the menu thoroughly, helped me with the order. It turned out to be delicious, good experience! I think I'll come back again!

    Great food, great service, small venue so best to make a reservation...although walk-ins were accommodated while we were there.

    Truly not to be missed. The food is excellent, especially the Chicken Shashlick (order it extra spicy)! The service is fantastic.

    This is a very good place for authentic Indian cuisine. The lamb is well prepared and the curry very flavorful

    Located in Kensington, this Indian restaurant is elegant and upscale. It has a large dining room…read moreand bar. The menu is creative and a bit intimidating, but the wait staff is patient and on hand to explain and make recommendations. The food was delicious and beautifully plated. The service was top notch.

    We wanted to eat at Dishoom but the wait was too long so we came here instead. The table next to us…read morewas in the same boat (we saw them at Dishoom as well). We waited about 20 minutes on a Thursday evening for a table for 4 (2 adults and two kids). I would not say this restaurant is kid friendly. They did their best to accommodate us but from the moment we sat down-it was clear they don't typically serve young children. The kids table settings had two fork, two knives and a glass. I asked them for non-glass and to remove the silverware which they eventually did but it took a while. They also can't really accommodate tree nut or shellfish allergies. Wish I had known this before we came. Our son ended up eating naan, plain rice and raita. Everything else was too risky. The food was pretty good though our service was lacking especially given the price point. We had the vegetable samosa, butter chicken, lamb biryani, chicken biryani, and naan. The server recommended we get raita for the heat of the biryani but didn't mention it's an extra charge-felt sort of dishonest. It was fine but we can't recommend and wouldn't go back.

    A restaurant should respect its customers, not insult them for their food choices. Telling people…read morethey "can't force their choice" is absurd--what kind of restaurant refuses to accommodate preferences? If you serve food, customers have every right to order what they want. That's how hospitality works. What's worse is their disrespectful attitude toward Indians, looking down on customers while profiting from Indian cuisine. If you don't respect the people whose culture you represent, you shouldn't be in this business. There are many better restaurants that welcome diners with respect. Avoid this place.

    Fancied a curry so thought I'd give this place a go having had a menu drop through my door a couple…read moreof weeks back. I ordered over the phone as I have a Chicken Pathia fetish - having to have that dish whenever I have a curry from somewhere new, and as it wasn't on the menu I couldn't order it online due to not knowing how much it would cost! The chap on the end of the phone was very pleasant, and went to ask the chef how much my curry love would cost. They have a minimum £10 order so I chose my standard plain rice and plain naan which with 2 complimentary poppadums and complimentary chutney weighed in at just over £11. Not the cheapest I've ever had (and not the most expensive either!) but this is about what I'd expect to pay for a good meal delivered. Delivery took exactly 20 minutes, though I do live remarkably close to this place it turns out. The food came with the curry in a heat-sealed package, which I like, I think it looks very neat and clean and stops the curry spilling everywhere in transit. The rest was in plastic tubs, except naan and poppadums of course, which were still intact! It was piping hot and smelt delicious with not a hint of grease or oil floating around the top. Tender and moist chicken, a good thick sauce and a good chilli kick which didn't detract from the taste made for a great Pathia, possibly one of the better ones I've tasted. It was very coriandery though, which I myself am not fond of, but that didn't put me off as the quality was good. Naan was possibly a little undercooked and so fairly rubbery and stodgy, and I've never seen sesame seeds on a plain naan before, but it was still acceptable, and the poppadums very good, though the condiments (mango chutney and an onion salad) were in plastic pots which got hot during the journey and so the mango smelt, and tasted slightly of, plastic. Rice very good, and the small portion I got was easily a 2-person portion (I must point out I did only eat half!) and so I can only imagine how big a "Large" portion would be! Good solid curry, with a few things that just let it down a tad. And I'm thankful I spotted the cardamom seed before it spotted me!
