This is a great place to eat. I have several severe food allergies which were handled well and the food was all delicious. It was particularly noisy as there was a hen party going on at the same time but there was very little delay in getting our food.

Great food and value. We had the biryani brunch which was yum. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes. Place was full and buzzing. Service was slightly slow due to the busyness of the hour maybe.

Had to wait 30 mins from our booking time and another 15 mins before anyone came to ask for our order. Employees were gathered by the bar speaking amongst each other. Finally the manager came to personally take the order. After our meal we waiting another 10 mins for someone to come with the bill. Eventually we just got up and went to the bar to settle. Overall It was below average experience and I shared my feedback with the manager before leaving. I probably will avoid booking here again.

Great food and lots of it! One of the best afternoon teas I’ve been to. Only thing I would mention is that the tea came out well before food and went cold as the food came out later. We were offered a fresh pot instead which was nice. I would say that having unlimited tea would be nice here as that’s what other afternoon teas offer.

Good cocktails with pre theatre menu. Starters are a good size . Every scrap delicious and eaten. Mains came a bit too quickly- we would have enjoyed them much more if we had had a ten minute gap. We were three and we had quite a lot of left over mains- we ordered the Dahl ( delicious) as extra but didn’t manage to eat it.

As an Indian myself, I really liked how true to the original stuff the food here was. I don’t get to say that a lot about the Indian restaurants in London. I went to cinnamon bazaar to introduce my friend to Indian cuisine and I feel I made a good choice choosing this place.

Really tasty modern Indian food - did a pre-theatre menu which had a good range of options and included a delicious cocktail. Good service, not too noisy even when it had filled up between 6.30-7pm. Would recommend and visit again!

This was just right for a Sunday evening dinner after the opera. It was a bit noisy, but otherwise a really excellent, enjoyable, experience, with very cheery waiters, quick service, and some very inventive and tasty food. (The mark-up on one of the wines whose domestic purchase price we happened to know - Whispering Angel rose - was startling, but perhaps that is normal. We had something else...)
