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!

We were in the area and I wanted thaali so this showed up. It was empty in a weekday evening and we were able to quickly get seated. I did find it odd they needed my phone number to get a seat when we checked in with the host. I had thought they needed to call me or something once our table was ready but the restaurant was empty and we were seated right away. So not sure why they needed number (marketing?) and didn't get to ask. The thaali was flavorful and perfect for one person or to share with another. Price was ~ 35 pounds, and you're paying for ambiance! The other dishes looked so good as well and would love to try more things here.

I rarely go back to the same place in London to eat in a month, and I was back the next day! The food tastes much better if consumed fresh on site than if it's packed for takeaway The roti chinai we tried with dhal, chicken curry and beef rendang. My vote would be for the chicken curry. The first day we got a really large roti, on the second day we got a set of 2 smaller rotis. Murtabak - we tried the chicken and lamb. Lamb wins hands down! I also had the lamb curry thali and that is a complete meal. The veggies are seasonal and oh so yum! I was delighted to see king fish (sear fish) on the menu, so I had a slice of that as well. Such a fantastic taste of home. The masala dosa was fantastic. The chilled lemon honey drink was perfect on the side. The food is typical to Tamil Malaysian cooking with its blend of South Indian and Malay flavours. There may be a bit of a wait at peak times, but nothing like the queue outside the original roti king in Euston. And the seating at Victoria market halls (where this is located) is much more open and comfortable. Heavily recommended

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!

I had the Hunter's menu, which was filled with fresh game and superb in each course including the centerpiece of Guinea Fowl biryani and dal. In addition to the tasting menu, I shared other plates with family. I cannot say enough about how good every single dish was. The flavors were so rich, complex, and simply stunning. I would give this six or seven stars if I could. Eight stars. There are not enough stars. Along with the food itself, this is a restaurant that is doing every single thing right and at the highest level. The second you walk through the door, you will be greeted by a delightful bell and decor that artfully mixes the best of Britain and India in a thoroughly modern way. For drinks, they offer comprehensive and delicious options for booze, cocktails, and those who prefer non alcoholic beverages. The tasting menus on offer are not mandatory for everyone at the table, which is not typical and should be the standard everywhere. Perhaps most importantly, the service is incredible. Our waiter, Danny, was so kind. The pacing of the meal was perfect. My sister received an incredible birthday surprise and card simply because I noted it was a special occasion on Opentable. I left Kutir smiling from ear to ear. I will be back as soon as possible. Sadly, that will likely be a long time from now since I live in New York. I pray they open a branch in my city soon. Please come home to me Kutir. I love you.

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!
