Ifeoluwa

The space is small and so are the portions but the flavors make it worth it. Get fried okra to start, wild rabbit pulao as an anchor for the aloo chaat , grilled mustard broccoli & soft-shelled crab

Priya Chandran

The tapas portions keeps you longing for more but takes away the authenticity of it all. The mini uttappams were a disappointment. The lamb chops were definitely great, like mum's home cooked chops.

Angela Liu

This place is so bomb ???????????? the venison and vermicelli doughnut , lamb rack , soft shell crab ...... definitely not to miss if you like indian food and want something apart from chicken tikka and curry

Edina Pető

Lovely quirky place, aloo chat and okra fries are yum. Great service ????????Can't book a table but they put you on the waiting list and text you if your table is ready. A tad overpriced in my opinion

Daren Williams

Delicious sharing plates - highlights were the lamb chop and aubergine & kale ! Order 2-3 dishes per person, and ask about the spice level for each dish (our meal was too spicy since we didn't check)

Amy Y

Delicious and spicy . Small plates so go with 3-4 others to sample more. I especially loved the lamb chops , saag paneer , rum bread pudding . Use OpenTable / call for large groups (we had 6 people)

Parin Lad

Standout Indian food in London...having been here about 4 times and picky about Indian cuisine . Highlights from menu are venison “doughnut ”, okra fries , egg masala and lamb chops . Enjoy!

Jenna Paglino

Soft shell crab , the lamb chops are to die for, the shot of soup , duck , broccoli , and the chocolate chi dessert , all recommend

Tee

Food here was out of this world! Very punchy flavours and great quality ingredients. Favourites were the broccoli and lamb chops !

María

New favourite Indian restaurant for me - liked it even better than Dishoom . Who knew broccoli could be so tasty??

Jaime T G

Great Venison Doughnut , okra fries and Broccoli . Rum pudding was alright but not to the level of the other 3. A place to recommendation

Ashley Chan

Small plates , non-traditional Indian food (i.e. don’t expect to find curry !) that is full of flavor. I particularly liked the lamb chops . Come at around 6 to get a table, as seats run out by 6:30.

Kurt Haa

One word: DELICIOUS! Great food, the rabbit rice is super and the aubergine salads is amazing!! Try it, try it now!

Jake Dylan

Definitely get the lamb chops ! The portions are smaller (tapas style ) so it is a bit pricier than it seems, but delicious and worth it for the price.

Shiv Sharma

Had an overall good experience here! The food was mostly very tasty. The lamb chops are great but v expensive . I would describe the place as more cramped than cosy. Waiting time was 1.5 hours for me

Nick Ellenoff

8/10: another amazing Indian meal in London. A bit less classical than a Dishoom but not nearly as "colonial" as a gymkhanna. More "classical elevated " ala tamarind but cooler environment.

Julia Sandler

Great menu - everything was tasty! Particularly loved the ribs , lamb chops , broccoli and saag & paneer . Nice kick to it all!

Mirella????

very interesting tastes, doughut is very good

Glenn Thorsen

Super cosy, real whole in the wall feel and great food!!! If you're into Indian absolutely worth a visit!!

Ryan Murphy

better than Dishoom . Amazing authentic Indian food .

Michelle Wiles

Bread pudding , and that soft shell crab ???????? perfect spot for a mini celebration

Mike Dove

Excellent Indian food , advise to book as its busy. Try everything the flavours are amazing.

Jon Wheeler

I'm in love. Get there early. Don't miss the specials board, and order the soup shot (first on the menu).

Helen Zhang

With a group of 6 you can order one of everything on the menu and it comes to just about the perfect amount of food!

Olly Newport

The food is great, all the spices balance superbly. But: it's really expensive , the portions are small. No tips go to wait staff ! Take the service charge off if you want to tip, unethical practice!

Rohini Wahi

Tamarind Ribs , masala lamb chops and glorious aloo chaat . Super spicy , super flavoursome. Trendy and authentic

Corey Reese

We ordered nearly every dish on the menu. One of the best meals I've had in recent memory.

Nitesh Patel

Get it all! Lamb chops and tandoori chicken were fantastic! N

yash

this is the saag paneer . food was great but i was surprised to hear they don't serve bread

JESSICA

A few tables available for booking online for dinner , if not, they leave spots free for walk-ins.

Salome Mallari

That mustard broccoli ???????? Everything was ridiculously flavorful and perfectly spicy

Irene Chung

Excellent lamb and aubergine+kale salad . Rice meh. Tiny place that's too busy - don't bother trying without reservations .

Erin M

Gunpowder aloo chaat and lamb chops are amazing!

Harriet Frances

Okra fries ! Broccoli ! Delicious. They will text you for a table but no reservations

Martin Jonasson

Amazing Indian tapas offerings. Just order a mix from the menu and share together.

Anton Lischewski

Pork Ribs and Tandoori Chicken are outstanding. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Alberto Simon

Amazing food! The lamb chops

Margherita B.

Nice Indian restaurant , but a bit pricey and based on sharing platters like tapas .

Ipek

Very tasty Indian food , highly recommend the tasting menu

David Natas

Seu Seu

Aaloo chat, okra fries , organic baby chicken , saag paneer . Yum

Uzo Madu

Nice cosy atmosphere and a small creative menu, with great staff !

Sara Kay

Loved the lamb chops and the broccoli . They’re on Deliveroo!

Ivaylo Mihaylov

Vey bad. Cramped seating arrangement & very noisy when it gets busy. Service was terrible. Food tasted like salted sand & it was very overpriced. Beer is in cans and costs £5.5 - 300ml + service 12%

Penny Fyta

A cozy traditional place !!!Go for okra fries !!!

Kristina Park

Lamb chops are da bomb ????

Gokul

delicious small plates modern Indian food ..!

Nick Black

Modern Indian street food served in a tiny vibrant restaurant with lots of passion. Not very good for vegetarians .

Cyndie Da Rocha

Excellent food but on the pricey side.

Rachel Roth
