Absolutely delicious dinner!…read more We made reservations online about 2 months ago. 5:15 dinner worked well for us since we had a show at 7. We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai. Beer came with a frosted glass. The chai was delicious! The food was amazing! Goan monkfish curry Ruby chicken Saffron cauliflower Garlic naan Basmati rice Everything was superb! I works happily go back tomorrow night!

For a really popular place, we were pretty disappointed and pricey for the serving size. The…read moreinterior is thoughtfully designed and worth seeing once. Lamb samosas (8.7): it was okay? Dishoom chicken tikka (14.9): NOT tikka masala! We were between this and the chicken ruby but were told it's just like butter chicken and were recommended this-- the highlight, chicken flavorful and tender, and I liked the pickled sides House black daal (11.7): their signature dish-- decent, pretty heavy and filling but nothing to sing about Roomali Roti (5.5): we were going to get the garlic naan, but the waiter said that's something you can get anywhere so we got the roti which he recommended-- however, this completely lacked flavor. I've had better roti in Malaysia and in the US lol Garlic naan (5.5): we ultimately got this because we didn't like the roti, but this also the garlic flavor was not shining through Other recommended dishes: chicken berry britannia with raita, charred lamb chops, murgh malai, okra fries Tip: you have to buy the rice, naan etc separately. Also heads up there's a 12.5% service charge.

My husband and I visited Dishoom Kensington for breakfast a couple of weeks ago when we were…read morevisiting London for a few days. Dishoom pays homage to the food of Bombay, and I was thrilled that they serve such a large and extensive breakfast menu! The restaurant is huge and beautiful - with lots of art deco touches! The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant just had great vibes - even the smell of the place (incense mixing with their delicious food) was great. I had their Kejriwal (two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast - "a modern favourite of the Willingdon Club in Tardeo, reputedly named for the member who kept asking for the dish, since he was not allowed eggs at home"), which was delicious. My husband had their bacon & egg naan roll with a side of masala beans, which he loved (he's even been trying to recreate the beans at home since we got back from London). With a large menu of other options and tons of beverage options (from alcoholic brunch options to chai to iced coffee), they have everything you could want for a great breakfast. We had a great breakfast at this Kensington location of Dishoom. I'd happily return to one of their other locations and have any meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

I went here last night with a couple of friends, I wasn't expecting much from this particular area…read moreto be fair. We got there and the restaurant looked amazing from outside, but it was quiet, which I thought wasn't a good sign. But moving on, we got shown to our seats, asked for our drinks and given some nicely designed and well set out menus, with very nice options to choose from. So from there we ordered starters, I had the tandoori chicken, I was expecting just little bits of chicken, to my surprise a whole leg of chicken, cooked tandoori style, appeared in front of me. It was amazing, then about 10 - 20 minutes later, chicken biryani. The chicken in this was beautiful, the rice even better, and the Naan bread. Just wow! Thinking back, I now wonder, why? Why, is it so empty in here? This place is a little gem, the service magnificent, we even stayed for about 20 minutes after chatting to the people there. My honest opinion to anyone in this area, go there, go there right now. Take your friend out for a lovely Indian meal and you won't regret it. Oh and another thing to add, it was very cheap and very cheerful. 5 Star all around, just wish I had seconds, but I was stuffed.

All of them enjoyed the food dishes I ordered, only things I would improve are the prices have increased significantly and especially adding on the 10% eat-in charge, so for four of us the bill was just under 70 pounds. The crispy bhajia portion was a lot smaller than I had expected it to be. Next time I visit the mandir will try the cafe next to it and see how the snacks are.

This restaurant was clean with good service. My mother in law had the buffet which was a whole smorgasboard of diff types of food for only £12.99. Hubby ordered the paneer masala with rice and i had the aubergine curry with chili naan. All of the dishes were good but the aubergine curry was amazing and different than mos tother dishes I've had. There wasnt too much oil and it felt nutritious.

Saravanaa Bhavan is a chain restaurant - but one that will make you forget all of your prejudices…read moreagainst chain restaurants. It is a Gujarti Vegetarian Indian restaurant but with other Indian vegetarian cuisines represented as well including Sri Lankan and Indian-Chinese. (If you have never had it - Indian Chinese totally rocks. It is not Indian, It is not Chinese, It is a bunch of fiercely original fusion dishes that put traditional Indian vegetarian ingredients into Szechuan or Cantonese style sauces.) The place is crowded - often with a line waiting out the door. The menu is huge. Everything our party had was outstanding. (Special thumbs up for the Paneer -Indian Cheese- with Chilis in the Indo-Chinese menu - and their Chapatis and Pooris (breads) which show up accompanying many dishes. In fact breads are generally a strong point here and they make many kinds.) The place is unbelievably cheap - which is good to know in London - where cheap and food too often means poisonous. One note for non-Londoners. This particular Saravanaa Bhavan is on Ealing Road near the tube station Wembley Central. That neighborhood is one of three neighborhoods - all on Ealing Road - that have vast numbers of excellent cheap Indian and Pakistani restaurants (including many many subtypes of both). The cluster at the North near the Wembley Central station is the largest with at least a dozen fine vegetarian restaurants to pick from. This part of town is not on the standard "visitor's" trip to London - but it ought to be.
