    The food was delicious especially the scallops and the lamb chops - we ordered a variety of dishes and shared and the amounts were perfect. Will definitely return for the set meal- we had a concert so were time limited but the food we ordered was super speedy and we got to watch it being made in the kitchen. Special mention for the jazz band - wow we almost wished we had stayed later they were excellent.

    The food was excellent. We were offered a very nice table close to the fire work. Service was very nice. Wines are a bit expensive.

    Kahani offers an adequate dining experience, but it falls short of being memorable. We opted for the Dawat tasting menu, which, while not unpleasant, was underwhelming in its execution. The dishes were straightforward and felt like they lacked the creativity or refinement that sets exceptional restaurants apart. Can’t complain abaout the quantity of food as that was a lot. But In a city like London, where culinary innovation and value abound, Kahani feels average for its price point and location. Service was good and can’t pin point at anything that was problematic but perhaps could be more polished with more storytelling about the Chef’s background and his vision. They were really sweet about changing the lamb options to fish/ chicken for my friend. For those seeking standout flavours or a truly impressive experience, there are undoubtedly better options to explore.

    Restaurant is too noisy, you can’t speak with each other.Food is so spicy that the taste is completely gone. The tables are too close to each other, so no privacy at all. We had a wine pairing but we never saw the bottles, they bring the glasses to your table. Nothing for us it’s more an expensive food shed. But if you like crowded places a lot of noise and too spicy food, this is your place.
