Good completely over priced for what you get. I get the theme - modern twist…but it’s not great when you pay £70 per head and walk away still feeling hungry. I portions are ridiculous and the taste is ok…not worth it at all.

Lovely restaurant, excellent location for theatre land, good service, enjoyed the meal, even though the pre-theatre menu which we went for was not available. However, expensive for what we received eg Lamb Biryani £29 and Chicken Tikka Masala and boiled rice £27.50. Nice food but too costly for us.

What a great find 🙂 We booked after seeing the advert on the Theatre Royal tickets and really pleased we did. There's an excellent atmosphere, staff are very attentive and the food was superb. We will definitely be back when in London again. Darryl and Sally Pickering. Beverley.

Friendly staff and some great flavours in the lamp and chicken dishes we shared. There was a little more theatre and dry ice at the table next to us, so perhaps we need to try those dishes next time. Too much chopped ice in the lassi to actually be able to drink it, though, as it kept jamming the straw!

When we ordered 3 individual set menus with main course being rice and butter chicken, the staff said that they are supposed to give only one rice bowl per table even if 3 people have separately ordered one set lunch each. CRAZY

Party of 7 went for dinner. Each individual received their main dish at a different time. There was a 25 min wait between the first person receiving their main dish and the last person receiving their main dish. This is just too long to wait. One of the side dishes never arrived. Took ages to get the bill paid at the end. We had to wave down 2 different people before being able to pay. For the price we paid, I do not think it is worth it. The service really lets it down and for this reason I would not return again.

Food was average but quite pricey. Waiters kept pushing multiple times to place orders ( even though place was not particularly busy) but when you asked for something like water, I had to ask 3 times before they responded.

Booked the pre-theatre deal which came with a lovely cocktail. Food was really good. The portion sizes were fine. I’m glad they were not enormous as I hate being too full when you’re sitting in the theatre. The staff were attentive and very friendly. I’ll definitely go back,

Nice atmosphere and attentive staff, unfortunately the food was underwhelming average given all the hype the restaurant has made its name for. Some of the food came out cold, and lamb chops were cooked med-rare without being given a choice. Also, we felt a fair amount of pressure to 'eat-and-go', even though the restaurant wasn't super busy, given the location. Overall, it was a decent, but at the price-point I don't think I'll be back in a rush.

Opted for the vegetarian tasting menu. Everything was delicious and unique. The service was good but we were seated at a high top table in the corner near the bar and it was hard to get in without asking the people next to us to have to get up and move. Not ideal.
