Raj kachori is a must as an appetizer along with the green prawns .. Place and staff are helpful ❤️ a must visit restaurant while in London
A gem in regent street, just have a chicken biriyani to appreciate the quality of food here.. I tried many dishes and none of them disappointed me.. While you are in regent or Oxford street it's a go
One of the common options for Indian restaurants in London . "Mulligatawny Soup " + "Soya Keema Samosa " + "Chicken Mirch Makhani" + "Chicken Biryani " all were delicious. "Banjara Tikka " was just ok.
The Lobster Curry was absolutely fantastic. Really enjoyed the Mirachi Martini as well .
The definition of excellent traditional Indian! Always up to standard. Particularly love the biryani , 4 types of dhal, spinach etc etc, all simply good with service to boot.
First night in London we ate here. A nice selection of food for the vegan , plant-based or vegetarian . Ask for their vegan tasting plate. So good!
By far the best indian restaurant in London . The food was fantastic, but watch out for the recent menu changes . Some of the well-known dishes were changed, and alcohol was added to them.
Raj Kachori , Green prawns are the best orders from the starters. Murgh Hara Payz, Chicken biryani , Travncore Prawn , and the chili nan Very very good food I highly recommend the place
A must try if you love Indian food . Delicious food with such a lovely staff . ❤️
One of the beat Indian restaurant in london ,, delicious starter and chicken biryani .. however , it is expensive compared to the other good restaurants
A lovely view at night ❤️ amazing food 😍
Pre theatre menu from 5.30pm–6:15pm Mon to Sat: £20 for 2 courses, & £23 for 3 courses. There is a special Sunday lunch menu of Indian family favourite dishes £24 for a 3 course meal
Excellent Indian🎈💥chicken tikka , venison mutta kebab , tandoori raan, chicken makhani , naan and finaly kaala jaam (desert ) strongly recommended👍😇
A classic spot for great Indian in London, however it can be pricey especially when you're used to the local Indian take out place. Be sure to make a reservation beforehand!
Green prawn appetizer is spicy but delicious. I also recommend the lobster curry with lemon rice . This place has improved ALOT since my last visit!
Amazing vegetarian platter . Whole menu is flavorful but not overpowering. Beautiful space, and giant list of wines for pairing.
One of the best Indian restaurants i've ever been to yummy lamp chops , great butter chicken & lemon rice ❤️
Classical and traditional dishes delicately prepared. Old reliable for dishes like Asafjahi, biryani , makhni... One of the best
Delicious food with amazing atmosphere, highly recommended! 😍👌🏻
Green prawns , Chicken Makhani , and Chicken Biryani are delicious and not too spicy 😍 I did not like the Raj Kachori very much myself but to each their own.
The first indian restaurant in London , come here for a nice atmosphere, but Dishoom has better dishes
Claims to be one of the oldest Indian restaurants . Very classy , chicken makhani and biriyani are extremely good! So is naan !
Fabulous tasting menu ! Pineapple curry was delicious. Great service and overall this restaurant lives up to its reputation.
One of the best Indian restaurants 👍🏻loved the Butter chicken , naan bread & lemon rice
The grande dame of English Indian cuisine , it serves traditional fare such as rogan josh and chicken tikka in colorful, exotic surroundings that evoke a maharaja's palace . Read more
Exquisite foods, upscale ambiance... this place loves itself, and so will you. Try the biryani for a truly different, delicate experience.
Really good. Way more posh than Dishoom, offcourse, but even more tasty. The menu is very very good and balanced. Liked it a lot.
The pineapple curry was rich, warm and great at cutting the spice in the hotter dishes. Also the grapefruit pannacotta offered a sweet, refreshing dessert .
Apparently the chefs grind all their spices fresh daily. An amazing feat, considering the foundation of Indian food is the spice :) The food here is of the highest quality, and authentic .
Rich history and terrific food. A little spendy, but recommend their lemon rice , pineapple curry , king scallop starter - and the pannacotta is to die for.
The oldest indian restaurant in London . Impeccable service. Incredible food. Love the lemon cashew rice and hibiscus champagne cocktail .
The food is yummy😋the best Indian restaurant i'v ever tried in london
Try "Raj Kachori " it was Good !! .. Nice atmosphere but Didn't like their food in general ( I had biryani lamb / chicken butter )
One of my best Indian Restaurants in London . The food is amazing. My friends always come for the Raj Kachori a large Puri filled with goodies.
steet regal puff- surprisingly enticing! chicken tikka - explosive and galvanizing! crab cake - practically perfect in every way.
Every dish is great, especially chicken byriani, seabass and lamb shank . Service is a bit intrusive. Quite expensive .
The duck vindaloo is amazing!
Great views and seatings, elegant from the reception till the end; bit pricy though!
One of the best restaurants in London, period. Worth going just to have the starters. Beyond fantastic.
I've been to India! But even the food there don't taste like this😋❤️ coconut chicken masala recommend 👌🏼 9/10
Amazing tastes and great service - but drinks a bit slow to arrive.
Overrated pretentious Indian restaurant . Serves "Indian food " for ppl that don't know how Indian food actually tastes. Raj kachori / mango kulfi were ok. Lamb biryani/chicken butter were not
Nice atmosphere and really good Indian food . But a Michelin star ? Not understandable.
Chicken makhani . 9/10. £26.50
Opened in 1927, Veeraswamy's is said to be the oldest surving Indian restaurant in the UK. Famous diners have included Ghandi, Charlie Chaplin, Marlon Brando and the Prince of Wales.
A must restaurant in London!
One of the oldest and retains almost a colonial feel to layout and service. Decent food and given its' location a respite from London shopping should you need it. Expensive
The first Indian restaurant in Britain opened its doors in 1926, and its turbaned Sikh doorman was one of the sights of London. Many of its early guests were colonial types who missed their curry .
Good Indian food and nice place to get your dinner but a bit expensive
Anything here is good. Chicken tikka and shrimp to start. Biryani , lamb chops , dal tadka . Alphonso mango if in season.
Best Indian restaurant!! 1 Michelin star. Black pepper chicken tikka-watercress green seekh kebab-tandori ocean prawns-lamb chops-chicken biryani-chicken curry-dessert bowl-amalaya tinto red wine - Nabil Bazzari
one of my top 5 places to eat in london! such a wonderful restaurant! from staff to food to hygiene! - Haya
Wide range for food, shops! Stay for the sunset weather/skyline, it's astonishing 😍 - Rachel
Really nice shopping environment. The cafe on the top floor is also quite nice. - Benni Prinz
The Chocolate and Hazelnut danish from the bakery is scrumptious! - Edon Vllasolli
