Brigadiers London in City of London, Westminster

It was an incredible experience starting from stepping inside the restaurant. Top-notch service and food! Customer service, additional thought went into remembering the venue was booked for a birthday and Brigadiers made it extra special for us.

A wonderful meal with various delicious dishes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very pleasant and vibrant.

Simplify splendid, great food, drinks and service! An all around exceptional experience if you’re looking for something spicy yet flavorful with Indian roots in London!

Food is excellent - really very good and ambience is pretty good. We can on a lovely summers day and the outside bar was nice to be in but the service was painfulllynslow - 2 beers was 20 mins from order to revived. Value is pretty good for the quality of the food

The food was top quality and we were all stuffed, the biriyanis were massive! I have coeliac disease, and the waiter gave me the allergen menu and did advise that there were still some items on their that were not marked as gluten containing, but were fried in the same frier so these would not be suitable for me. There are plenty of options that they can also adapt to be gluten free and they even bring out an alternative with the poppadom's. He ensured that everything I ordered was gluten free, so I felt confident eating here.

Really great service excellent food we had the feast and would thoroughly recommend every course was so good lovely cocktails will be back

Great venue - comfortable and welcoming. Great food - really, really tasty and well presented. Great service - the waiter we had was helpful and looked after us. I shall be back and I 100% recommend it.

Ate here on Spring Break trip with two 15 year old boys with healthy appetites. Everything we tried was fantastic I was surprised by how lively the place was on a Tuesday night. Our table was not ready so we had old fashioneds in the bar. Love the old fashioned and gin and tonic options. Also good beer list. Tried two of the four old fashioneds. For dinner we had a big sampling including the mixed grill sizzler which was tremendous. Coming from SF Bay Area I thought this was top notch food. Service was fantastic as well, everyone we encountered was really helpful with suggestions and very pleasant. Had a tough time deciding where to go for Indian between here, Dishoom, Gymkhana and a few others but not disappointed. Highly recommended.

I came here and ordered the set lunch. Place is cosily decorated and I was quickly seated at my table. I was given the drink menu but unfortunately the waitress requited help from her colleague when I enquired about the size of the beer that they served. I finally got the food.menu after a bit of a wait and ordered the samosa starter and the prawn biryani main. I wish the samosa came in a more generous portion, there were 3 small samosa served on the plate. The prawn biryani was tasty and appreciate the good selection of papadum.

Everyone raves about Dishoom, but Brigadiers was so amazing. Great Indian food & excellent service! After visiting the Tower of London we just walked in not really knowing if it was that good. Exceeded our expectations!

The food was not as hot as it should of been It would have tasted much better hot. With Indian food it should always be served hot.

Fab experience. If you like Indian cuisine and fancy a different experience, this Indian tapas dish approach is great. Food is very well cooked. Staff and knowledgeable and keen which are always great signs of a good restaurant that staff are energised and invested in. Price of meal was reasonable. I figure this is best for a guys night out. Lots of pub sports on tap here if you fancy.

The place has a nice vibe and very polite staff. The food however was a bit hit and miss. Chicken very good but goat chops far too fatty. Price/value here is an issue though. I was particularly surprised to be charged £52 for a bottle of "house red". The mark ups restaurants make on alcohol are astronomical as it is - but this seems extreme. I'd go again - but more for beers and snacks maybe? The food and wine really didn't justify the price ..

Starters, cocktails and desert were good. The main course (daal makhni and chicken) were very salty and basic Staff was not attentive, guessing it was a late lunch as we were offered water whilst leaving though it was asked when sat. Considering the value for money, I would rethink for another visit.

Fourth time visit last night and , as before, food was excellent, service was great and the vibe was fun and funky. As a regular at Chutney Mary's Veeraswamy's and several others, I know what good looks like. Brigadiers is really good!!

I wanted to give some feedback regarding my visit on Saturday 3rd February. We had the six nations menu and some miss communication that we only got one of the small starters per person e.g. one chicken wing, one samosa per person. This is quite shocking considering the price per person is £45 a head. I did ask was it a portion per person as per a la carte and was told yes. I did ask the manager on the day if there was anything he could do, but refused to accommodate on the miss communication. I also said it was my cousins birthday in my reservation notes and nothing was done to make it special

What a great way to celebrate two of my friend’s birthdays. I was worried they would not like the food as I booked the restaurant. It was an enjoyable experience and the food was incredible. Thanks to Kat who attended to us and took all our orders and made recommendations. The restaurant was very busy and can see why as the restaurant decor, food and ambience are impeccable. I definitely will come back again. They treated my friends to a surprise birthday desert so that was a really nice touch. Also their bathroom was one of the cleanest and coolest I have ever been to in London. Thanks Clementina

Visited here today for a couple of drinks en/route to meet family for a day out. Staff and service very impressive and the food looked amazing. Will definitely be back another time to sample the menu.

We were looked after by Fortiz who is the nicest and most enthusiastic waiter we have ever encountered, he made our evening. All the food was extremely tasty, the goat shoulder and lamb chops were sublime.

Lovely food, goat shoulder is so tender. Service really good and waiter very knowledgable about the menu

We didn’t have reservations and there was only seating available at the bar, which we were fine with. Our bartender/server was amazing. Every dish we had was excellent, especially the chicken tikka butter masala, best we’ve ever had. We asked some questions about one of the whiskies in a cocktail we ordered and our bartender not only answered it, but gave us great recommendations on several whiskies the restaurant carries. Amazing customer service, delicious food and drinks!

I have been here twice. Each time I was pleased with the food and service. Everything that we tasted was so delicious, staff was so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. On our last visit they managed to accommodate our short notice requirements which was so kind of them. I would highly recommend this place.

Came here at the weekend with my other half for a wonderful meal. We found all of the meat so tender. The chicken skewers to start were so soft and tasty, the curry had a very unique ‘smoky’ taste which we really enjoyed, and the lamb chops were superb! I am struggling to recall ever having better chops! The poppadom starter was unique - would probably give these a miss next time and go for something else. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and staff all very friendly and accommodating. Lovely experience all around.

They made a genuine mistake with my bill which only came to light on my credit card. When I reported this to the staff they were very helpful and apologetic. It was resolved very quickly and with no fuss. I could not ask for better service.

Lovely venue, close to Bank and Mansion House tube. Cosy and welcoming with attentive door staff. We were 6 celebrating a birthday. Once we all assembled and were seated, it took at least 15 minutes to get served with drinks. This was despite our table being beside the entrance to the corridor where all the food comes from. Nevertheless we ordered both drinks and food together. We were left alone for the best part of an hour as food came and went to tables seated later than us. I enquired about our food, and we were quickly give two dishes of starters, samosas and chat. But there were 6 of us! The food arrived quickly thereafter. The half rack of lamb was magnificently tender and juicy. Fantastic. The salmon was succulent and moist, with a salty crust, which was not to everyone's taste. Prawn biryani was very rich in spice, and somewhat overpowered the prawns. Dal tadka was good, and the bread basket acceptable. Overall there are some gems of dishes on the menu, as there are some expensive ordinary dishes. At approx 50 pounds per head, I thought it was a tad expensive for the selection of dishes we chose. We paid the 13.5 per cent service charge despite the delay. It would have been a nice gesture had the restaurant done something there.

September 2023: VEGETARIAN REVIEW - Don't ruin your meal here Brigadiers was one of the restaurants on my list to try and yesterday I ordered from Deliveroo. I was very excited to try the food after a long day at work. The order included Dal Tadka, Punjabi Chole, Dal Makhani, Tandoori Roti and Garlic Naan. Pulling the roti out from the bag, I was disappointed as it was undercooked. And, then the series of disappointment began. Everything was just so terrible. How the restaurant is rated high on Google and everywhere else is beyond me. And, take it from me, as my dad is a master chef and I know food. This restaurant doesn't know how to cook food. Dal Tadka: Full of garlic, which is ok but it was undercooked. It had the raw flavour. They ruined dal tadka. Dal Makhani: It was just as good as any cheap local restaurant serving it. No flavour, no richness of Dal Makhani. Punjabi Chole: I don't know what it was, no flavour again. Tandoori Roti: Undercooked. Horrible (see picture) Garlic Naan: It was just a naan. Everything I ordered was just so undercooked and flavourless. Absolutely terrible! Would not try again or recommend.

Spacious restaurant, clean, excellent service by our waiter Ashan. I ordered the 2017 Syrah Keermont it was good, We ordered Pappad & Chutneys, I think £8.50 was a little steep.... For starters we ordered the Goat Vindaloo samosas. It was not hot spicy as Vindaloo should be, I found the samosas rather hard and not crispy. For mains: Achari Beef Short rib, Sikandari Kid Goat shoulder, both were flavoursome and delicious. Tadka Autumn Greens were el dante, pinenut & onion pilau rice was good. The music was a little loud and really incongruous for an Indian restaurant.

This is a lovely restaurant - had lunch and their kitchen closes at 3pm and we got there later than our booking so just before 3pm but they were very accommodating with the food and made vegetarian dishes that were not on the menu. Great drinks and wonderful staff - thank you for making my birthday special :-)

We went here for our Anniversary dinner and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was nice, music in the background but not over powering so you could go for a nice dinner and have a conversation. Food was really nice, we had a variety of veg and non veg dishes. My favourite was the lasooni chicken tikka skewer and my husband loved the goat shoulder with the laacha paratha. A special thanks to our server Amidu who was very friendly, professional and attentive

One of the best Indian restaurants I ate recently. It's less about curries and more about unique dishes. I loved the goat vindaloo samosas. Cocktails are great too, the Paloma goes great with spicy dishes.

I am sorry that I have to send you this email. Today we had a table booked for 5.30 pm. We attended the restaurant with great expectations to celebrate my sons birthday. We had a variety of dishes recommended by friend of the managers and...

Probably one of the worst Indian restaurants we have been to, especially considering the costs. Im genuinely shocked at the other rating and find it very hard to believe that these are honestly reviews. Food was not fresh at all and service was appalling from...

Hyderabadi Jheenga Poori - delicious prawn starter with the most flavorful chettinad kind of spice Chinese Chilli Paneer Lettuce Cups - great starter option for the vegetarians. The shezwan spice is nostalgic of Mumbai streets Lamb chops - just the best lamp Chops I’ve had...

We had a great evening. Good and service was great. Good ambiance.. I Was able to get a classic chicken tikka which was not in the menu but the chef made it on a special.

Went here for lunch with work colleagues and WOW what a lunch it was. We sat outside, which was a bit chilly until they turned on the outside heaters and then we were warm. The service provided by the friendly and attentive waitstaff was exceptional....

Recently visited Brigadiers with friends and had an excellent evening. Brilliant atmosphere with amazing aromas. Lamb chops were super tasty and biryani was delicious. Lots of choice and imaginative dishes. Well worth a visit. Thank you.

Very attentive service and lovely food. The menu however is very hard to understand as they don’t describe the dishes, so we ordered the cauliflower which was too creamy. The daal and chicken skins were very bland. Overall the dishes could have had more spices....

Expérience très sympa la nourriture est très bonne cependant le restaurant est très bruyant cela est globalement sympathique mais fatiguant...

The service was very good but all the food was spicy. And PLEASE DONT BOOK THEIR TERRACE. It’s very cold and it’s the middle of summer. Do not trust the British weather. We regretted it and this was a huge disappointment for all of us....

This was our first time at Brigadiers and definitely not the last. The food was spectacular and the staff were extremely knowledgeable and did all they can to make our experience unforgettable. Highlight for us were the Goat Tikki Bun Kebabs. They also have a...

You made my partner’s birthday very special. Thank you to the team who worked on Monday 10th July - 14:15. You were spectacular. We will surely be back and we will be recommending you to all our friends. The food is something special, truly a...

This was a Surprise Birthday Party for a dear friend, arranged by his family. Superb venue with magnificent views all around. Delicious snacks and drinks served by polite waiters. Loved the fresh lemon juice and the lamb Biriyani

Great food, authentic flavours. You can taste the spices and it’s not just coriander and chillies thrown into a curry paste. I am vegetarian but my friend ordered lamb and he couldn’t stop relishing it and rated it best in Europe!

We had booked Brigadiers as a post-graduation function treat. We did reach slightly earlier than the booking time and had to wait until the table was ready. Since we had kids they could not let us sit at the bar. But that was perfectly alright....

Loved it here: the food was fantastic, savory, excellent. portions were great. Service was attentive. Ambiance was upbeat. Loved the decor too. Nicely done. Would go back.

A new introduction to me and I loved the food, it was very unusual in terms of unknown dishes all of which were really tasty and lovely and spicy. Loved the Afghani Lamb Kebab and the Goat Shoulder!!!! My personal opinion is that the service...

We went after the theater, so it was a late reservation (10:30pm) we enjoyed the lamb, chicken and the sea bream and everything was very nice. The wine list was very good. This was very nice, but I have had better Indian food.

Recently hosted clients here for dinner and we had a table on the covered heated terrace area which was a good shout because it was a nice evening and there was a big football match going on inside. The service was very good and one...

I didn't give them a 5 as they aren't very generous with portion sizes but I loved the food it has so much flavour and taste to it. In particular try their Paneer in Lettuce I really loved it and is a hugely popular dish...

Wow….this place is even better than you may already be thinking. From the ambience, the service (absolutely spot on and a special mention to “Micky”), and the food….oh the food….from the popadoms to the starters to the main courses (we had the grill) we were...

Food here is amazing!! Every single dish is mouth watering and it’s great value considering the location. Highly recommend

Really great experience, good food, lovely atmosphere and really friendly servers (special mention to Saz who was amazing).

I got the lamb chop and the paneer bites wrapped in lettuce. Both were really nice but I can't get over how expensive this place is, hence the average rating. The service was great. You need to drop your prices Brigadiers!

I popped in on Thursday lunchtime on an impulse for a light lunch. I sat at the bar and just had crispy fish paos which are like an a Indian fish finger slider and were delicious. The restaurant was completely full and buzzy. I found...

Davvero ottima cucina indiana. Qualità molto molto alta. Per chi ama la cucina indiana da provare assolutamente. Il misto carni...

I visited brigadiers, not my usual establishment when it comes to curry, usually opting for a BYOB. However on this occasion the glamorous interior matched by the exquisite cuisine lived up to expectations. We picked a range of starters all of which of which were...

I booked Brigadiers as I was expecting a classy bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday with friends. The venue plays the rugby (six nations) too which caught my attention. The service was ok and it was a different experience for my birthday festivities with friends....

The best Indian food I have ever eaten & that includes a bunch of trips to India! Wonderful service.. unique venue also. Feels like a star hotel! Looking forward to going back

The atmosphere is exceptional, as was the service. Some of the best Indian food we've had in London -- menu is both inventive and authentic. Recommend it highly.

Whether its high end like Brigadiers or more neighborhood dining like Tayyabs you will find the longest waits and highest ratings for dining is at Indian restaurants. Brigadiers was no different. I think we lucked out because we took an early seating and it was...

The staff was so helpful and generous in providing recommendations and a lovely atmosphere. Amine was exceptionally good with his service and made sure all our needs were taken care of. Food arrived very quickly and was delicious. Prashant also ensure we had a great...

Excellent food service and ambience.However I’ve sailed the Seven Seas but never ever found a bar that served beer in two thirds of a pint.

We had been looking forward to visiting this place for some time. Atmosphere was buzzy and the service was slick, so it met our expectations in those areas. My wife's starter was tasty but my lamb kebab was not of the same standard. Bits of...

Had an excellent lunch here, great service, top picks for food: scallops, lamb chops, winter greens, but ALL very good. Will definitely return!

An evening with fabulous Eric and food heaven This was a stop on our last evening in London and we were super happy to be seated at the bar. The food was spectacular and as reviewed. What made our evening special was the outstanding hospitality...

Fantastic food and service. Starters (goat samosas), mains (biryani and mixed grill) were very tasty and flavoursome.

This is a true gem. Truely outstanding in every sense. Yes it is expensive and yes there are long wait times. That's just good business, but very happy to pay top prices for exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend.

The restaurant offers upscale Indian food and does a great job at it. All the dishes we tried were really good. We also liked their cocktails. Service is friendly and the ambience is really nice and it wasn’t too noisy even though the place was...

First time visiting Brigadiers and it didn’t disappoint. Food tasted amazing and the waiter was kind enough to cater to have 1 portion of each item we ordered from the menu. We ordered a lot and wanted to try as much as possible. It is...

Food was good. The service was good at first and then deteriorated to nothing. 40 minutes after our plates were removed we still didn’t receive our dessert and no one had visited us in that time. I flagged someone down and requested our dessert and...

I was very surprised here I didn’t expect the food to be good here but I was blown away by the flavours and how authentic everything was. Will definitely be coming back.

The entrance to this restaurant gives a throwback to classy gentlemen's clubs of yesteryear. The dark earthy tones provide an intimate atmosphere. The tables are well-spaced. The servers are very professional and caring. The servers cater to and support all dietary needs and provide precise...

I came here with a friend one evening after work. I knew the menu as i like to have a peek before i go to any restaurant. we chose the goat belly vindaloo samosas and onion and cheese bhajees to start - incredible, followed by...

I and my husband had a lovely dinner.Food was delicious and service was great.specially Garlic naan and Brownie was awesome. Great service,staff were very attentive and friendly. Thank you Arjun and Saz for made our evening memorable.

I was planning a birthday celebration with my daughter and her fiancé so I tried to book in March 2022 for November. Realised that the booking opens 3 months in advance. So I started trying in July and finally got a reservation in August for...

Without doubt the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Charles and Eric at the bar were the perfect hosts. Funny and gracious. We had the tasting menu and every dish was a revelation. Fragrant spices and exactly the right level of heat. Meats were tender....

10/10 food, service is perfect, interior decor and vibe is authentic without being tacky. Literally could not recommend this place enough. Far greater than Dishoom in every aspect.

I took my husband as an anniversary gift and safe to say we were both thrilled with the food and service. We has the Goat Tikki Buns to start and the Lasooni Chicken Skewers, both good sizes for a starter and exquisitely flavoured. We then...

My husband and I have been wanting to come here for a while and managed to get a last minute booking. We arrived early so they seated us in the bar area. Unfortunately we were sat next to a friendly loud group and when the...

Went for a celebratory dinner. Were well looked after. The service and the food were excellent. Especially the young man who served us on the terrace, didn’t catch his name. The food was flavoursome and really well presented. Highly recommended

I have been to this Restaurant several times previously and whilst it was never outstanding at least the food was edible. However I was there this week on a Monday and everything was overcooked the Goat chops were completely dry with no moisture left in...

Food and service top quality, only downside was they only take cards as payment but do not advertise this fact on their main web page. Only had cash on my person to pay the bill which was refused, this caused an embarrassing situation for myself...

Well. I eat a lot of Indian food and the only restaurant I have eaten in which compares is the Michelin starred Chatora in Kew (see my earlier review). In order to maximise the experience we opted for a variety of starters: Pumpkin Missi Rotis,...

Restaurant was busy so we were sat at the bar. This was good as we were able to interact with the bar staff who served us. Charles was just brilliant. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He was backed up by Eric. By the way, the food...

Absolutely fantastic - everything but most importantly the food. Only recommendation- perhaps, it’s time to do some soft refurbishment and change some glasses and plates. Fix the small chips/marks on the furniture. But guess what, if you continue to serve this quality of food, I...

Booked this restaurant last minute as our booking at Bombay Bustle was cancelled due to technical problems at the restaurant. Brigadiers seemed a huge restaurant with various different spaces. There was a nice atmosphere and staff were all very pleasant. The food was all very...

On the plus side, the food is authentic and good. Fine breads, fresh chutneys, zingy spices - they are getting the basics right. Our (Sardinian) waiter was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The mixed battered seafood hit the spot and the rack of lamb chops was well...

A very special place to have great Indian food cooled, baked, or wood oven… The Chops, The Kebab .. incredible! That with good coctails. All colorful, u can also choose special rooms were to watch Sports or “shoot some pool”.

I booked this venue for my 21st birthday and it certainly impressed! First impressions of the private hire 'pool room' were amazing, I had been concerned that the space would not have enough eating area as I had arranged food for 17 people but it...

This restaurant has taken the City by storm. The private rooms are an excellent alternative to the outdoor terrace. It makes a nice change to eat street food as you get a chance to try a wider variety of different food. The food quality is...

Busy and enormous place, some iffy guests, but staff are friendly and efficient. Prices are high, but the selection of drinks and the quality of the food compensate. Possibly the best lamb chops anywhere (also possibly the most expensive) bread is also excellent It's really...

My go to for wonderful Indian food! I often visit here when I need a good Indian fix! The butter chicken wings and lamb chops (full rack is pricey but is worth it!) are must orders! Cheesy naan, biryani are great side cwrhs to bulk...

Excellent Indian food. Flavours were superb, in particular the lamb, scallops and chicken wings. Smartly decorated restaurant had a great atmosphere even near closing

We visited Brigadiers on a Saturday afternoon, having visited sister restaurants Trishna and Gymkhana multiple times I was expecting good things but this exceeded expectations. Great service and a recommendation that turned out to be one of our favourite dishes. We also enjoyed a number...

Amazing food and a taste sensation, lovely setting too with a real good atmosphere, staff where greAt in both the bar and restaurant, I’ll be back

The food was all delicious, especially the lamb chops. The service was really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Recommended

Some fine Indian dishes for a friends birthday. Mixed grill and some sides were perfect. Staff really friendly and helpful too!

Was almost on time for a very early booking. The food was good and the waiter was inspirational in his descriptions of the dishes. All good so far. We moved as quickly as the kitchen and bar staff could provide. And then suddenly. You must...
