Amaya in City of London, Westminster

10/10 Great service from Parul, relaxed and professional with good advice regarding the menu.The food is always good and we will return. Thank you.

The food here is absolutely delicious—top-notch in every way. While it’s on the expensive side, it’s 100% worth it for what many would call the best Indian food in London. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you won’t be disappointed. They also have other restaurants in the same chain that are slightly more affordable but still offer the same quality.

Prestigious Indian restaurant Best lamb chops ever 💯💯💯

Amazing service Food some I loved some was ok Nice atmosphere Little bit expensive

Beautiful Indian restaurant specialising in grilled and tandoori food. We had the Amaya favourites lunch menu which was simply stunning. We thought it was good value for the exquisite nature and quality of food. Highly recommend.

The food was indeed delicious and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The balance of flavours was great. Will definitely be back!

The place offers an exceptional dining experience with its Michelin-starred Indian cuisine. The open kitchen adds excitement, showcasing chefs crafting flavorful grilled dishes like smoked chili lamb chops. Paired with impeccable service and a vibrant ambiance, it’s a must-visit culinary gem. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very nice.

Absolutely loved the experience there. We went for vegetarian tasting menu. Portions were very generous, almost impossible to finish. Service was superb, I loved the ambience of the restaurant, food simply amazing and wine pairing nicely completed the dishes.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! One of the best Indian restaurants that I’ve visited.

The sea bass and samosa were amazing!

This is the best restaurant in the UK.. and thank you Sendeeb so much for everything 👌🏻💕 I highly recommended 👏🏻 The restaurant is very beautiful. The atmosphere and food are very delicious and clean

Delphine, over the years, has been amazing , very hospitable, very welcoming in everyway, she always attends to us with warm, big smiles

The food was nothing short of orgasmic. The staff friendly and helpful. No frowns just smiles. Took the time to advise on both the wines and the food. I would dearly love to go back there again

Simply amazing. Greeted well, waiter knew the dishes off the back of his hand, recommended a few dishes after asking us about how we like our spice dishes. Food was really good, and glad we listened to the waiter on his recommendation, we didn’t choose everything he said but most of them anyway.

I had dinner on Saturday 23rd November and the food gave me and my entire family food poisoning. I was sick the entire day on Sunday and could not leave my house until the Imodium tablets prescribed by my pharmacist took effect. I have made several attempts to contact the restaurant but as there is no phone number available on the website, I had put my comments on the feedback form. No contact was ever made. AVOID

Best Indian restaurant I have ever visited. Excellent food and excellent service 👌

Amazing restaurant, food is really good. Would definitely recommend it. 4 star for service as they mixed up our leftover food package and gave us non vegetarian food when we are vegetarian. We only got to know when we reached home.

Superb live fire grill & tapas-style Indian restaurant. Not your average Indian/Curry, but Michelin starred grilled foods and superb service.

Relaxed place to eat, superb food. Try the platter - a taste of about 8 dishes on one plate. Lamb chops are OK, not as good as at the Lahore Kebab House.

Wonderful food and impeccable personalised service.

The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was excellent and pretty fast. The shrimp was tasty, the steak was amazing, the salmon was exquisite and we had a salad with complex taste and texture.

Our hopes were high for the Michelin Star rated restaurant but were definitely let down after the 6 course "favorites" menus. The food was completely average and the service was less than. Receiving the bill was almost painful after such a mediocre experience.

Cocktails at the beginning of the meal were great. Wine selection, across the board, is too limited for a Michelin star restaurant. And what you get is far too expensive for the quality. I had the German Riesling for 80 pounds (second most expensive wine on the list) and that’s a bottle that in terms of quality should have a retail price of no more than 15 pounds (my guess). You should really get advice from a good sommelier and fix the wine selection problem. Food and service were outstanding.

We made a dinner reservation for 6 people at Amaya. The service and atmosphere were at a very high standard for a Michelin star restaurant. The hosts were attentive and welcoming. The food however, was definitely a letdown. The presentation of the food was great but the taste was lacking. I have had better quality at restaurant that cost a fraction of the price.

Lovely place with high performance

Tucked away in the upscale enclave of Belgravia, Amaya Grill and Bar redefines the Indian dining experience with a modern twist. The restaurant’s sleek, art gallery-like interior sets the stage for a culinary journey that transcends traditional expectations. Amaya’s menu is a testament to the art of grilling, featuring dishes prepared on the tawa, tandoor, and sigri grills. This approach allows for a symphony of flavors and textures, with each dish arriving as it’s ready, encouraging a shared dining experience. The smoked chili lamb chops are a standout, offering a perfect balance of heat and tenderness that lingers on the palate. Vegetarian options are equally impressive, showcasing the kitchen’s versatility and commitment to quality. The staff at Amaya are both friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the lively atmosphere that permeates the space. Their attentive service ensures that each guest feels welcomed and well-cared for throughout the meal. Amaya’s vibrant and original cooking leaves a lasting impression, making it a memorable destination for those seeking a high-quality Indian dining experience in London. 

The tasting menu is spectacular!! Top tier service that makes you feel right at home.

We’ve been to Amaya a number of times and constantly sing its praises and recommend it to friends and family. No longer… last night was a real disappointment which for an eye watering £400 bill (for 2 of us!) should not have been the case. The service was cold and unfriendly from the minute we arrived (not sure what was wrong with the lady on concierge - had a face like thunder) and our waiter was supercilious and completely inattentive - water and wine glasses never refilled and the wrong main course was brought which he knew about but waited until we mentioned it to another waiter and then swooped in to say there was a mistake and would we like the other main course. This would have meant an even longer wait so we declined but certainly didn’t expect to see it on the bill… The chocolate dessert tasted artificial, had no flavour and we left it. The pricing has now become ridiculous and there are no nice touches here that make you feel you’re getting a special dining experience. We won’t be back sadly.

The restaurant is very beautiful and the food is delicious

The restaurant is elegant and the food is very delicious. Reservations are required

The location might be not clear. Besides that all were good

Not what we expected. On entering, the place looked decent but the food was not up to mark and very pricey. £230 for 2 adults and a child where we ordered 2 starters and 2 main dishes, 2 mock tails and one cocktail. My mocktail, passion fruit and guava was out of a carton. The main food, the gravy was just added to the prawns. It just felt that it was not cooked together. Also, when they changed the cutlery after the starters, they just put it on top of food which had dropped on the table. Don’t think that is Michelin star standard.

This is one of the best restaurants of Mall Dubai, the terrace have a amazing view of Burj Khalifa and dancing fountains, fusion cuisine with best service . Fresh fish and very good sisha

The food and service easily earned its star…which is not always the case with Michelin ratings. The scallops and sea bass were standouts with subtle but complicated flavors that made my mouth very happy. My server (I’m embarrassed that I can’t remember his name but he’s Italian) was also exceptional. He explained everything and even let me taste two additional chutneys when I expressed interest. I will request him when I return for the tasting menu. Thank you!

The restaurant is special and the food server is special And very nice

Food was excellent. We came with a large group so that we could have a taste of everything. Standout dishes were the biryanis, lamb chops, quail, scallop and bone in chicken dishes.

The food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Our waiter Rapul was very tentative and helpful when it came to choosing the dishes.

Loved every single course on the tasting of Amaya menu. Really solid taste and surprise in every bite. We had reservation on Tuesday 10/8 at 730p, but unfortunately had a bad server. Our server was aloof, cold and wouldn't explain any of the dishes in each course. When we got the spices and sauces, we asked her what they were and she gave us such a naughty look like we were such idiots. We later asked if they could clean the table full of the spices and she never acknowledged or cleaned the table full of debris. We didn't request anything additional or demand anything other than just a service required and details about the dishes but unfortunately she treated us like we were lesser than. Very unfortunate because the dishes were so tasty and one of the best fusion Indian dishes we've ever had both on the state or UK side.

Nice place, good ambience. Excellent service, lovely gracious wait staff. There was a boo-boo with the starter, which they rectified (free starter and desserts). They also graciously provided a spectacular chocolate dessert for a birthday. Excellent: crispy noodle salad, salmon tikka, pepper chicken tikka. Mango daiquiri, Fig martini, chilli passion fruit martini, lamb chops. Good: Gilafi kabab, navratan kebab, gulab jamun and the jalebi dessert (the salted caramel icecream was sensational) I would say portion sizes are good, unlike some comments. Most Michelin places provide a little spiel about each dish, which was missing. They usually provide some amouche bouche etc, again Anaya does not.

Overall great food, service, and ambience. I was a bit disappointed by their pistachio kulfi.

Good atmosphere, food always amazing. Service 5 stars

This shouldn’t be surprising reading all the reviews complaining about service. They practically were forcing us to get appetizers saying that the main dishes will take 35 minutes to be ready. We said no worries we will wait, then they called the manager to convince us again to get appetizers. Such sketchy and pathetic move by management. Anyway, that was unacceptable from a high end restaurant so we literally got up and left. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to be pissed off then absolutely go. Rude rude i wouldnt recommend.

Luxury Indian restaurant No butter chicken We ordered for two people Crispy salad 10/10 delicious Dahaj Biryani 10/10 and its quantity is good Chicken korma 8/10 Naan 2 Cola2 The price is high The ambiance and staff are good

Everything was nice just the food could be better. Chutney Mary is just so much better.

Dirty, awful stuff -extremely rude! Average food and rats running around

Consistently excellent nouvelle Indian restaurant. Went twice in one week, can go again as we have been going for at least 15 years.

Amaya left much to be desired. While the food was passable, the high price point and small portions felt disproportionate. Service was notably slow and inattentive. Our anniversary went completely unnoticed, and the staff seemed uninterested in providing any additional information or recommendations. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

Exceptional food. Attentive service. I can’t really add much more

I don’t like the way for reservation they take amount before I came then when i pay the bill they told me we will return the reservation amount after 3 days If don’t trust your customer how we will trust you to return the amount

One of the best Indian Restaurant in London or probably outside India. We ordered Veg Lunch platters with Veg Jackfruit Biryani and it was amazing. The chutneys on the side had very nice taste and you could feel every element in it. The paneer Tikka and Spinach tikki melted in the mouth. Broccoli salad, Raita, Roti and Dal were also flavorful. Jackfruit Biryani was probably not the best but still decent. Overall it wasn’t hot and spicy but flavorful

Considering it's indian food, no real vegetarian options and those it did have were all just potatoes. Service was very slow, inconsistent. Cocktails were overpriced for what was a weak standard cocktail

Service was slow food was cold and had no. Taste

The quality of service never changes it is always the same superb standard and the food is first class. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Out of this world. Hands down, the best, not just Indian, but any fine dining restaurant I’ve been to. Service was impeccable and at scale. Waiter throughly explained the menu & dishes, and multiple waiters quickly cleaned & reset the table after each dish. The place has a nice open kitchen feel, but I wish the decor & ambience was more Indian. Food was simply fantastic. The meat dishes were flavorful and melt in your mouth. Presentation & taste are both phenomenal, and overall this was the best experience I’ve had.

Great food. We got the lunch platter and eggplant. Eggplant was delicious. Some nice dill underneath and crunch on top. Sea bass was another highlight. Paneer the texture was good but the flavor was rather boring. Gulab jaman was soft, warm, and spongy. The ice cream wasn't too sweet. I wish they hadn't put the silver on it, I don't like how fancy restaurants do that. Didn't even like how that part looked. Service was nice and attentive. Good about avoiding our allergies.

We’ve been visiting this outstanding place for the past 17 years, and it has been consistently exceptional. The service is fantastic - every little detail is meticulously attended to. The food is heavenly and is incredibly enjoyable. The restaurant itself is cosy with a wonderful ambiance. The quality of everything never disappoints. We absolutely loved our night and want to thank the team for yet another great experience!

The lady who answer the reservation calls was very rude and impolite

This was probably the best restaurant we went to. I would not hesitate to give 5 star rating on the food and service. The waiters provided brief explanation to each dish as they came and they tasted amazing. The service and the food was extraordinary. If it's your first visit you should go for the taster set menu. It's expensive but your are paying for the fine dinning experience. I am definitely visiting Amaya again. They take orders as late as 10pm! I would recommend you pre book to avoid waiting. One minor improvement would on the atmosphere; to have some Indian or other background music to go with the themes in the main dinning area. But this did not matter so much as the food was so delicious.

Top Indian food in London. Lorenzo served us, and he was incredibly friendly and amazing.

Amaya was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London. An Indian fusion restaurant where every dish is an explosion in your mouth. A must try! Thank you Amaya for the service and wonderful food and vibe. Nothing is not good here.

Indian restaurant very delicious and excellent service.

The food took too long And there a lot of Indian restaurants that tastes better

Restaurant policy make it the worst restaurant I have ever been.

Amazing Indian food and wonderful atmosphere.

We drive about 50 miles to the restaurant. And they told us you have child we can't provide a chair . So only to persons. So zero service. We should rate.

Best sea bass in London and mandarin salad is mostly delicious salad in Indian restaurants. Also if you like spicy food they have good venison kebabs nice and game teste.

The food was delicious, the place was crowded and the noise was so loud you couldn't hear those with you

Superb taste and great customer service… the private dining space was really nice

Amazing food and service. Foodie paradise

Delicious Indian cuisine great service, and cozy ambiance. is a delightful blend of flavors, aromas, each dish is a masterpiece. Highly recommended

Excellent restaurant, cuisine fine et légère. La possibilité de prendre les entrées en demi-portions permet de se composer sin propre menu dégustation, ce qui est extrêmement appréciable. Service très agréable. Un sans faute

The restaurant has maintained its standard for a long time The food is very delicious and different. I think even those who do not like Indian food will change their minds. It is considered an unconventional Indian hope. I highly recommend it

Such a disappointment. The food was ok but let down enormously by the terrible service. We chose the tasting menu with wine pairing. The option for the dessert unfortunately wasn’t something my husband could eat due to allergies, so they offered a sorbet as an alternative. A sad little sorbet? For a Michelin starred restaurant? Are you having a laugh? And to make matters worse they obliged both of us to have it because of their “sharing concept”. We had our lonely little sorbet and then the final wine pairing arrived 15 minutes later. At this point we were ready to leave, tired from the noisy kitchen and bustling floor. When we asked the manager to remove the cost of the final wine (given we didn’t get a chance to drink it with dessert), he basically told us it was our fault it came out late because we’d chosen the alternative dessert. We’ve had better experiences at a much more reasonable price at our local curry houses. Don’t bother visiting.

I was doubtful if Indian cuisine could be elevated to Michelin standards, but was very pleasantly surprised. We had the tasting menu, which exhibited a light touch, good textural variations and super flavours. The salad was excellent, the oyster and scallop dishes' flavours could both be differentiated whilst served with curry like sauces. The lamb was succulent and tender. The Biriani was possibly the least favourite. The service started attentively but did drop off, and we were waiting about 30mins and had to attract attention for our dessert course. All in all a great experience, would revisit. Very reasonable pricing as well.

Exquisite Indian food, well prepared and delicious. Not to mention some great cocktails.

What an experience! Food was stellar, service excellent. The only reason for the four star rating on atmosphere is that you can’t really hear each other talk, due to the cafeteria-like open space. This does also allow for an open kitchen. It was hard to take my eyes off of the actions there. Fun, noisy and incredibly delicious.

Don't expect any poppadoms... Great menu and we really liked the 'Indian Tapas' concept.

A real gem, love the food. Consistent taste..have been visiting for past 9 years... Lovely staff

Went there with my mother to celebrate her anniversary (as my father passed away just a couple of years ago). Great personalised and genuinely warm service, and exceptional food. The spinach and fig dish with the spicy sauce on top was a total win!

Amaya is a Michelin starred Indian grill restaurant. The food was really good, especially the meat dishes which had a real melt in the mouth quality to them. The ambience is ok, certain parts of the restaurant do feel quite open and not very cozy. The service was also fantastic!

The best Indian restaurant in London, the noise level is very, very, very high at dinner time All dishes are excellent and delicious

Dishonest restaurant! I booked on the wrong date but I still came on the date I thought I had booked, as there was no place we waited 1 hour which is normal. They told me that they would check with the manager and that I would be reimbursed for the reservation that had been charged to me and be kept informed by email. After 10 days having received no email I called them and they told me the same thing but after a month still no news. This is not correct because we came anyway and the least we can do is keep your customers informed.

One of the most beautiful and delicious Indian restaurants in London, for sure All orders were delicious and nothing wrong with it Shrimp, chicken biryani, and butter chicken are fantastic Of course, there was a salad, which was delicious

The restaurant is crazy.. The food is delicious.. All of our orders are amazing, especially the biryani

Rude receptionist, lack of management and awful bar experience. Very noisy, basic for Michelin, don't recommend it at all. I have phone called the restaurant and they confirmed to walk in at 9:30pm on Monday. Once we arrived the receptionist behaved disrespectfuly with us and she made a face and attitude that they don't have table and we have to wait minimum an hour and she denied our call however I have shown the phone number and the time of the call. I had a guest from abroad so I have decided to take them to the bar in the meantime and get a drink and snacks. The bartender denied to serve us even a few olives and/or any other snacks in a rude manner. We ordered drink and my friend had a low blood pressure and they refused to also give her a bit of even nuts/chips.. Don't waste your money and time with Amaya. I strongly recommend the other sisters Veeraswamy and chutney mary. lovely bar, great atmosphere, fresh tasty food and great service.

Perfect ! Everything was great. The food, the service, the ambiance, the atmosphere. To do again without hesitation!

This is the highest level of Indian food, I found in London. It got a Michelin star for a good reason. Fantastic food experience, with a firework of flavors. I loved the cocktails and the share food concept. It is not the typical stiff Michelin star restaurant, more a cool, trendy location with excellent food and atmosphere. Just can be recommended.

Very tranquil and relaxing place,.... beautifully decorated ...calm .....allowing conversation flow and enjoy artistically presented tasting menu ( we had 5 course lunch menu ) . Very reasonably priced ... Highly recommended

The best Indian restaurant in London and in Europe. Very unique and delicious ingredients that make the best dishes ever. It was an excellent and amazing experience. The best Indian restaurant in London, without exaggeration, in Europe.. All their food is delicious 😋 Even their desserts have an abnormal dimension.. The bill includes all the food we ordered, and the best dish I liked and the most unique of its kind is black pepper chicken tikka.

The service was horrible. The waiter forgot to input two of our main courses. Then when we asked - they were out of one of the missing ones we ordered. We had to constantly ask to be serviced. I specifically asked just for sparkling water with lemon and they had put sugar. yes sugar. into it and that’s a dietary restriction of mine.

Really surprised by the ambience and decoration. It’s so pretty. Food is excellent and delicious. We have captain Tyson George helping us with the ordering and all his recommendations wee top notched. It’s seriously good. Nothing I had before could match this level of taste and presentation.

The food was tasty, although the flavours could have been a little more balanced for a 1-star dining experience (the chaat was a little over-flavoured, while the aubergine biryani as a main course lacked prominence). The portions were very generous, we shared a tasting menu and three extra plates for a party of two. What bothered us was that we did not get two courses from the set menu, and when asked about this, the staff were rather indifferent. They even came back twice to ask if we were sure that we had not been served. They eventually brought them out, but never apologised or offered any compensation. Quite a disappointing response given that a 15% service charge is included is expected.

This is my favorite place for fusion indian food in London. Ive been here a number of times and pretty much every dish they serve is spot on and does not dissapoint. Hard to pick a favorite dish. Service is excellent and the open kitchen ambience just supplements the experience beautifully. My sister lives in Paris and does not find good indian food there, so I took her here and she was more than satisfied. Highly Highly recommend.

Manoj is a great host. I really liked his welcoming attitude and great assistance on the menu. Great food & vibes as well. Recommended.

Fantastic food and experience. We got the tasting menu, which was an 8 course meal, and it came out at perfect time sowe were not rushed into eating the previous course faster or waiting too long for the next course. The food itself was out of this world, all the flavors and exquisite taste was with it. Highly recommend as the service itself was up to the amazing quality of the food that was provided. Highly highly recommended. Definitely get the Chilli Lamb as that was cooked to perfection.

Some of the best Indian food I have ever had!

Good food, just not gooed enough for what you expect in case of the michelin-star. I have had the chance to compare this with another michelin-starred Indian restaurant and hoped it would bring the same experience... unfortunately it did not. Service was fast and unpersonal, again, not what you expect with a michelin-star restaurant.

Quite querky with flavours, nice ambience and very thoughtful when they surprised us with the ice of anniversary cake.

In a quiet neighborhood there is a superb Indian fusion restaurant. Great food, great for sharing dishes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was nice. Would definitely recommend. We had the crispy cabbage and noodle salad which was a great starter, the see bass fillet was superb, rock grilled oyster
