Chatora - Modern Indian Restaurant in Richmond upon Thames

We went here as a group so we had a food service kind of experience where they would bring us various dishes then remove the plates and bring us the next course. There were no choice in what was put on the table which I didn’t mind. The food though was sadly average. I’ve eaten a lot of Indian food in the UK and in various other countries (other than India) and the flavours of the food were the kind of thing that someone inexperienced with curry making could easily make at home. Seriously. I put my hand to curry making some years back and the main course Dhal (the only vegetarian thing on offer) was small, kind of warm (temperature wise) but not quite. No spice whatsoever and poorly seasoned. I was not on my own with my opinion here. There were starter type dishes out on the table at first. Some breads which may as well have been bought from a supermarket and dressed on to a plate. Some little onion bhaji balls which were small and somewhat dry and tasteless. The rest was meat. Many of the guests were vegetarian, pescatarian or vegan and they knew it but the meat kept coming. I asked if there was anything else for non meat eaters and the chap rushed off and came back a few minutes later with another plate of bhaji balls. Equally well dressed on to a plate and equally dry and tasteless. The main was a lamb dish or the Dhal. All the dishes were in small portion type bowls so you had to get in quick to avoid a teaspoons worth left over after everyone had had their small portion. Small, tasteless and bland. I have no axe to grind with these people. I don’t even live in the same city as them and was there due to work. It’s just they make a big fuss of bringing up the Michelin thing and show you lovely pictures of fantastic looking food that could only taste out of this world right? Hopefully you had a better experience than us. I ate hardly anything and I don’t need much in a sitting. Still cost over £40 a head which silenced the crowd as the lady rushed around us bleeping as many contactless payments as she could before anyone questioned the bill. Positives? One main one. It’s a nice well lit building but deserves much better food considering its looks. The staff are what you’d expect in any curry house. The lady taking the payments felt rushed and devoid of smiles or any sense of pride in the establishment that seems to have a very high opinion of itself. If you want a property curry, go to the east end of London. These people should do at least that well or better but in my experience only managed to achieve a level slightly lower than the most average Indian take away in my city.

Fantastic flavours and lovely service. A great restaurant.

It is 'THE' place to go for real and authentic Indian food. Wonderful flavours, meticulous service and overall great experience. I would definitely rate this among the best Indian restaurants in UK.

Good food requires the service to go with it - such a shame the service is so very poor - felt compelled to leave this review as a way of hopefully encouraging the management to find a resolve to improve future customers overall experience.

we had a Indian group of 60+ people and all are vegetarian guest, we had booked Chatora Restaurant-Richmond days before coming to London for Lunch. when we arrived on 03.08.2024 at restaurant there was not enough capacity to accommodate 60 + people and we were not informed by co owner (Mr. Jamshed). Our guest did not liked food as well and restaurant staff and owner behavior was very bad towards the guest. we will not recommend there restaurant in future.

We visited Chatora for a family dinner over the weekend, it was an incredible experience! The food was perfect - infused with aromatic spices. The presentation was the highlight. Lovely staff and elegant decor added to the overall experience!

Chatora is surprisingly superb restaurant for Indian cuisine. Heard lot of it and it’s worth every penny. Good atmosphere and service. Definitely would go again.

Fine, authentic Indian cuisine, balanced with great service. Best I’ve had.

Went there with my partner on 4th aug, sunday. Everything was extremely well managed and the top most was the staff and their service💗💗 never experienced that kind of welcoming environment anywhere in london. We surely visit again with my all friends and family.

What a wonderful venue to celebrate group events, Great Ambiance Friendly and proactive customer service Attractive Presentation Delicious and presentable food Range of Cocktails and Beverages Halal Food Value for Money Must Try! I will strongly recommend Chatora for your upcoming events

I ordered a takeaway from Chatora which was really really delicious. The pistachio chicken korma and chicken tikka starter were both exceptional. The menu is much more inventive than what you would expect from a typical Indian restaurant.We will definitely be ordering again. I can't comment on the service or the atmosphere as we haven't as yet visited the restaurant.

Went for a meal here. The starters were amazing, but the mains weren't really hot enough for me and the group I went with. Hence the 4 star rating.

We had the restaurant curry with Prosecco. Food was delicious, best I have tasted in years. Well done and excellent service.

Friendly staff and excellent advice on gluten-free dishes. Overall, the service was great. The food was excellent. Highly recommended. The restaurant could be decorated a little nicer. Unfortunately, a little bit of Indian flair is missing. Prices are a little higher, but correspond to the quality of the meals

Excellent food and friendly, fast service, really impressed. Its easy to be critical of most Indian restaurants in london, they can be a bit samey, but this place was excellent. Every dish was full of flavor amd texture. Really well thought out. The lamb shank is a must. The paneer tikka is by far the best we've had. Was similar to Gymkhanas, with the stuffing but actually think it was better. At 130 for the two of us including drinks and tip, very reasonable considering the standard. I have some American friends coming to town all wanting to go GymKhana, I think we will probably take them to Chatora instead. Really cool food, well done. Only criticism is the poppadoms. Can see they tried to think out the box, but some things don't need it imo.

An excellent place to eat and celebrate. Did so last night with family and really looking forward to returning. Top marks for the food. Warm welcome provided and staff were very good at addressing my wife’s allergy concerns. The menu was well judged and each item prepared and presented to perfection. Good value for money for the quality of the meal.

One of the best Michelin Indian Restaurant, i have ever been to in UK. Strangely i have seen few negative reviews on google and still thought of giving it a shot. honestly, it was my best decision. i must say the flavors, food presentation, friendly staff everything was nice and i felt welcoming. My friends who joined me ordered 3 Starters to begin with and it turned to be lip-smacking took me back to Mumbai Flavor's. the main course was fresh and the quality of the the Halal meet and Paneer did match the standards of a Michelin restaurant. its CHATORA RICHMOND is MY NEW HAPPY PLACE. i have booked it for my office party for this month end and will definitely recommend them within my network. Keep up the good work Jamshed and the team.

Awesome service and great food and ambience…..

Excellent food, great service, the staff is very friendly and we did not have to wait for long, and where there was a wait when we ordered an additional dish later on, they informed us in advance how long we would have to wait. Would love to go back and visit again. Great welcome by the owner Jamshed.

Top notch service, delicious food - all served beautifully (and plenty of vegetarian dishes) Lovely atmosphere - we went to celebrate my mums birthday after a day out at Kew Gardens, and they went above and beyond to make our dinner special, thank you- we will visit again!

Sat at the enclosed outdoor tables as the weather was nice, food was absolutely superb, especially loved the lamb chops, can't wait to get back.

A very classy restaurant, with great ambience and warm welcoming staff. The food was delicious and so was the presentation. My most favourite was the Lamb Chops. It was delicious. I found our host Simran an absolutely amazing and very friendly personality. Definitely would recommend my friends to visit there 😊

Brilliant food with super thoughtful service - they made a big fuss of our mum on her birthday which I’m extremely grateful for!

Awesome restaurant must go with friends and family.We were a group of 21 females and the ambience plus food was delicious and very friendly staff kept us smiling all along making our dinner experience spectacular.

Our favourite restaurant ever! Jam and his team are all amazing. The food is of the highest quality and we absolutely love visiting. Jam has become a good friend and we are very fond of him. We recommend Chatora to all of our friends. They deserve 10 stars! Mandy and Tim

Had a great evening with a big group of friends. Great ambience with tasty food, lovely host and friendly staff!! An evening well spent.

The presentation of the starters is second to none. Food fabulous but a little more expensive than most and we ordered no alcohol

Excellent food. Great service. Restaurant ambience is too good. Like the whole experience. I would like to visit again

I have had the pleasure of visiting Chatora on a few occasions, and each time has been a delightful experience that surpasses my expectations. I am enamored with every aspect of this establishment, from its exquisite decor to the delectable cuisine it offers. The ambiance is truly captivating, and the customer service provided is nothing short of amazing. During my visit this time with a party of 21 ladies , I indulged in the Dahi Bhalla as my starter, and I must say, they were a heavenly delight that simply melted in my mouth. This was followed by the Lambhdar paneer, which was infused with a delectable blend of spices. Then finished off with yummy gulab jumans ! Chatora has left such a lasting impression on me that I am eagerly anticipating my next visit.

Too warm for me, but staff, host, and ambience were good.

Really enjoyed our visit. Very good quality food - tasty and fresh. Would recommend all the dishes we had but especially the Railway Lamb Saag.

I'm absolutely hooked on the dinner at Chatora .It's hands down the best Restuarant I've ever been, and I find myself craving it. The rich blend of spices creates the perfect balance of flavor and warmth, making it the ultimate comfort dinner. The ambiance of the place adds to the experience,specially the man himself "JAM" making it my go-to spot whenever we are out for dinner

The food was really good and very tasty. Loved it.

Bit disappointing experience at this restaurant that was highly recommended to us by a friend. The food was nice and some dishes were really tasty. Pistaccio chicken korma looked beautiful but didn’t taste of pistaccio (more of a thick pea sauce), chicken tikka was excellent. Rabbit naan was a real nice discovery. The main waitress was rather cold but the rest of the staff was lovely. The place was nicely decorated with a nice outdoor space at the front. As our first experience there, it just wasn’t that exceptional but it was good !

Save your money and go elsewhere. Chatora is nothing more than a glorified curry house (nothing wrong with that but it positions itself as more than that). Completely style over substance - food looks great but taste falls short. If you want evidence it’s a curry house, go to the bathrooms which need sprucing up. Overall the food is overpriced and generally pretty disappointing. The service is shockingly bad. More detail below. Food… everything was over spiced, no balance of flavour at all. Good Indian food should be better balanced. I’m almost certain that some of it was microwaved, which is pretty unacceptable in most people’s book. Bhaji: overspiced hugely, not crispy and not made fresh. Tasted like a ready meal one but with too much spice. Paneer tikka: completely tasteless and no charring even though it was cooked in the tandoor. Sweetcorn relish on top was definitely heated in the microwave(!). Aloo Tikki Chat: good flavour overall and probably the best thing we ate but again over spiced. Pahidi Chicken: three pieces of chicken included. Over spiced again and tasted like the base of any other curry on the menu. Railway saag lamb: lamb was tiny pieces (keep in mind this is £20). This was an ok dish but overpriced and underwhelming. Butter Naan: this was a plain naan. A tiny bit of butter on the top half, nothing on the bottom half. Roti: no butter on this also so was very dry. Rice: I am staggered to say this was microwaved. There is absolutely no denying it. The bowl was red hot and it was steaming. Service… the service was ok in that the food arrived in a timely manner but the waiting staff are very cold and unwelcoming. I walked in and the guy just looked at me. Said my time and he just pointed where to sit without uttering a word.

Ordered the takeaway vegan tikka masala and there was hardly any curry or sauce was mostly rice, feel like I didn't get my moneys worth. The little curry that was there also tasted a bit bland, maybe more sauce could have helped.

We had a few dishes and the Sunday roast. The food was good, service was ok, some dishes for the Sunday roast were a little late coming out and there seemed to be confusion around the dishes and what accompanied the roast when the food was brought to the table. The menu had interesting options, it’s certainly worth a try once, but perhaps not on a Sunday.

Very nice place. They were very accommodating to us with our young family. The veg and non veg options were lovely. Really enjoyed the butter chicken, artichoke biryani and paneer dishes. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Excellent food, great service! I am picky about my Indian restaurant and this one makes it onto my list! Definitely worth a visit !

We tried the tasting menu between 2 people - best lamb chops I've had and to my wife this was the best chicken tikka she's ever had. We were served my Mr Sahil who was super nice and helpful. He added a pleasant touch to our evening going that extra mile. Probably the most consistent restaurant I've been to where every item (there were 9) was amazing - nothing to fault. The cooking of meat was immaculate, really tender and juicy.

A truly fantastic, authentic, top tier Indian restaurant . I had the railway lamb and the lentil daal side, the flavours were amazing - the best curry I have ever eaten. The owner and all staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would absolutely go again for a special meal.

Went for a Saturday bottomless Brunch. Cobra beer or Prosecco on offer. Recommend: Seekh kebab starter; Paneer Lababdar mains; Dal Makhni side dish was dee-lish. Enjoyed 'Summer at Chatora' cocktail. Dessert- gulab jamun and Ice cream on point. Enjoyed! ... Our server, Katia, was fantastic - friendly and very helpful. RECOMMEND.

Outstanding food, service and experience. Had a family meal to celebrate my parents anniversary and Chatora did not disappoint. Great flavours and authentic food. Staff were polite and attentive. Will definitely be returning.

First time visiting and it was exceptional! It was a complete pleasure to meet Jamshed, the owner, who personally introduced himself. The staff were superb and the food stunning. Thank you for the most enjoyable Sunday evening! We will make this a regular booking every time we visit Richmond.

Recently dined at this vibrant restaurant, and the lively atmosphere immediately caught our attention. The place was bustling with people, creating a lively buzz. The owner, who was remarkably friendly, engaged us in a pleasant chat, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. Opting for the bottomless brunch, we were surprised to learn it doesn't happen on rugby days. Nonetheless, it gives us a perfect reason to return for another delightful experience. The food was a true highlight. We started with Papad basket which came with three delicious chutneys. Our starter Tandoori Phool was a burst of unique flavors, unlike anything I've tasted before. My other half savored the chicken biryani, expressing his delight. As a vegetarian, I tried the Artichoke- asparagus biryani, a dish I had never experienced before. To say it was extraordinarily delicious would be an understatement. The drinks complemented the meal perfectly (though my Mango turmeric tango cocktail lacked Mango flavour it was more turmericy) , rounding off a delightful dining experience. Despite the rugby day hiccup, the delicious food, friendly owner, and lively ambiance make it a place we're eager to revisit. Highly recommended for those seeking a combination of delectable cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. 🍽️🥂 #DiningDelight

Totally disappointed. We went for dinner with friends on weekend. We have been there few years ago, when it opened, that time food was delicious but now it was a big disappointment for us. Cocktails were so rubbish. Starters were not good at all except Crispy Aloo Tikki chaat. Mains were ok...nothing wow...and couldn't see any difference between garlic naan and chilli garlic naan! Who put tons of sweetcorn in Paneer tikka with some weird (green) stuffing...totally pathetic.. not at all Paneer tikka. You can see in the last picture. I must say the presentation of food was superb. But everyone goes to restaurant for sumptuous food not for a beautiful presentation. It is an expensive restaurant, gives less quantity, which we don't mind if it give us delicious and tasty food. We are vegetarian so my review is for their vegetarian food. For us, it was a big waste of money. Staff was good. Ambience is lovely.

We went to the restaurant for our anniversary meal after reading such good reviews of this restaurant and it did not dissapoint! We went for the Sunday roast menu and it was just so delicious. We had the soft shell crab, the lamb shank, tandoor platter and of course the Gulab jammun and Kheer! The chef also came to talk to us and wish us and that was really nice, we felt really special. He even prepared a lil cake slice for us to celebrate our anniversary! No doubt we will be back. Thank you so much to the team at Chatora for a wonderfull experience x

Modern Indian restaurant. Food was decent. The lamb chops was really good and others are just average. It’s not a cheap place to dine. Will be coming back, but only for a special night out.

Gorgeous food, came with a baby and staff could not have been more accommodating! Food is perfectly cooked beautifully presented and gorgeous restaurant! Will definitely be coming back! Rivals Michelin London Indian restaurants !!!

Chatora is deserving of its place on the Michelin guide. The Twickenham / Richmond area is not short of really great Indian restaurants, but, Chatora still manages to stand out. The Scallops and Lamb are both great great dishes and cooked so perfectly. Service was great even on a busy night like NYE. Would certainly return. Pricing is fair for location and quality.

We had an early dinner and it was really good, enjoyed the fusion and confusion of the Indian cuisine.. good creativity and combination of ingredients .. although onion bhaji was raw inside, was replaced with new one with an apology from waiter... service was impeccable and food was impressive,with some great combination .. will visit soon thanks for hospitality... appreciate the chef to b gutsy in his creation

Really excellent food but very poor service. The staff were not very polite, brought us our mains whilst still finishing our starters and generally rushed us. It is a real shame as it is an otherwise great restaurant.

We went as a group of 4 friends and were greeted well and given nice seats. When the food arrived, just 2 out of 5 tasted good. The Crispy Aloo Tikki Chat and Daal were specifically delicious. But the Paneer curry tasted a bit off (on the verge of spoilt), the Raita had wayyy too burnt flavour and the Dessert was just about okay. The bill was nearly £30 per person, which is on the expensive side for Indian food of this quality and quantity. The service was good and the ambience was nice too.

The biryani wasn’t really biryani, the worst one I have eaten so far ! Shocked to see that there are restaurants which are located in such nice areas which serve such disappointing food !! Please do not sell Indian food if you can’t cook authentic Indian food !! Biryani had weird smell and taste , chicken was very dry , raita had foul smell and colour …it was absolutely disappointing we were planning to visit this restaurant but after this experience we won’t dare. You are ruining India’s reputa

I thought it would be a brilliant restaurant, but we were hugely disappointed. Although, the staff was so nice and friendly, the quality of food and ambiance at the restaurant were very disappointing. Sadly, the first and last time there for us….

Lovely, attentive service and nice decor. Really enjoyed the food and drinks. Good for a birthday or special occasion.

Great food however, the most remarkable was the amazing service. We booked for 17 people and although we arrived after their official close time the chef stayed open for us. The catered for all our needs, even prepared food that wasn’t on the menu. Can’t recommend them enough. My family and I had great time and we were all so grateful for their kindness and great service

Too sweet tasting curries, far away from india cuisine. Including nan breads were under cooked. Service is top class and amazing staff, but food is not great at all.

Food arrived crushed, missing free item.

Delicious food served in a fashionable manner.

Costumer service needs MUCH improvement. I had booked set menu for 2.45pm, ran 15 minutes late due to weather changes and apologised. The staff (not all) was rude and not accommodating stating there is no lunch set menu despite booking this and stated “you are late so you can’t have that menu”. We are paying customers so we walked off. Please teach some staff the respect customers deserve.

Portions are more than enough, you won’t be disappointed

One of the best Indian restaurants i have been too. The service was great and all dishes ordered were excellent

I had an amazing time here. The food was absolutely divine! So much bold unique flavour in every dish. Truly a must visit in London! I recommend the venison biryani and scallops ravaya. It’s not surprising they’re recognised on the Michelin Guide.

Fantastic food, we are foodies so were expecting the usual fare where everything is cooked in the same sauce, but this was a massive surprise. Probably the best chicken tikka masala I have eaten. And the malai tikka was also incredible.

Food absolutely amazing, very enjoyable meal. Slightly marred by the very inexperienced front of house hostess, please don’t put such novices in a key position, train them up elsewhere. However our waitress and the manager couldn’t do enough for us and overall we had an excellent evening.

Fabulous evening, great vibe, wonderful service and food was sublime. Boney our table waiter was attentive and his knowledge and experience was obvious. Looking forward to the next visit…

Spent some lovely time here. Nice ambience, the food was delicious and was served quickly.

What a pleasant experience 👌 After late night shopping 🛍️ with my best friend, I mean my hubby took me to chatora restaurant . Absolutely fantastic evening meal, with first class service from chatora restaurant .We opted for the malai chicken and lamb shish kabab from menu, which we found to be delicious, authentic Indian cuisine. Dum biryani was spot on . Restaurant owner personally come and greet us . Well we had complimentary foods too . The service was spot on, with enough attention without being overbearing. Well done team of chatora Will come back with kids soon 🩷

Last night - 10/10/2023 - Tuesday. We gave family dinner to this Chatora restaurant. The food was sumptuous. Services were excellent. The embient in the restaurant were peaceful, quiet and relaxing for us to enjoy our family dinner with a birthday celebration. Thank you to ALL the servers and the chefs for their amazing services. Highly recommended, especially the Venison Briyani. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was very disappointing, I had high hopes for this place as it claimed to be a Michelin star and I booked it for a birthday meal. As a South Asian person I know good Indian food and this was not it. The handi gosht which claimed to have meltable lamb had very very chewy lamb. And the chicken biriyani was very average. We left more than half the food. The onion bhajis were also very dense and dry. When the bill came they gave complimentary bite of stale rice krispies covered in chocolate. The only thing that was good was the service, the staff were very friendly.

I recently dined at Chatora, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of Richmond, the restaurant has managed to seamlessly integrate traditional Indian flavors with innovative culinary techniques. The end result is a menu that celebrates the diversity and richness of India's vast culinary heritage. The talents of Head Chef Sunil D'Souza are evident in each dish, with every bite telling a story of India's various regions—from the robust flavors of the North to the nuanced spices of the South, and the coastal influences of the East and West. The quality of the ingredients, especially the locally-sourced British seasonal produce, elevates the dining experience to new heights. Among the standout dishes were the vegetarian options and the tandoor specialities. Seafood and game are also represented, offering a comprehensive array of choices for every palate. I would highly recommend Chatora for anyone seeking to explore the boundaries of Indian cuisine while enjoying an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. It's a gastronomic journey that shouldn't be missed. Five stars all the way.

Randomly popped in for an Anniversary treat after seeing a Michelin award on the outdoor menu. Was supposed to go next door, glad we didn't. Not a fan of indian food after all the decades of putting up with standard to poor indian food around southall / hounslow. But this place is like a new generation of indian food yet still has that authentic style. You can actually taste the freshness and quality. nothing like i have tasted before. The lamb was super soft, gravy was amazing, then after i found out the lamb is organic. Need to go again to try the lamb shank. The service and presentation was excellent. The owner was also helping serve the food and greating guests which you dont really see in other places.

The food was great but the service was not good. It was very crowded and they forgot our starters and we have waited 1 hour for food to arrive. I expected an apology from someone at least. I know mistakes can happen but still an apology would have been nice.

Best place in Richmond for authentic Indian cuisine

Absolutely brilliant all round 👏 Loved the selection of poppadoms with the mint yoghurt followed by the onion bhaji, very well presented, and good size portion, too. I can recommend the lamb shanks main course, cooked perfectly in a tasty sauce. It's not the cheapest but probably the best. I am looking forward to returning again very soon.

Fantastic food. Will definitely be ordering again!

What a find! Can’t believe we hadn’t been here before now. By far my favourite Indian restaurant in the area.

We went here with our 1 week old baby to celebrate. The food was spectacular, the lamb really came off the bone. We will be going back as there were some really delicious looking things we didnt try on the menu in the starters section. They were so accommodating and thoughtful and even brought this little surprise cake out which we were very touched by. A great first family dinner! Thank you for making our evening special and see you soon!

Quality food and excellent service. Thank you for the gulab jamuns.

I had lamb ghost and garlic nan, it was really good also I had dessert and forgot the name but it was really good, highly recommend this place. The only downside I see is there was no music it was just people talking a bit loud I would say. All in all, good service and good food!

Great place for a special occasion - Fine Indian dining and great atmosphere.

Had a great overall experience at Chatora for a wedding rehearsal dinner. The manager (Jam) was very accommodating and helpful from start to finish with menu and planning for our larger party, and the food was fantastic. Overall, I would definitely recommend Chatora!

Awesome Indian, on the Micheline list so very good gourmet Indian food, very authentic almost as good as my grandma's

Great food, lovely ambience, food spectacularly presented.

Gorgeous place for the best Indian meal I’ve ever had in London. Great atmosphere. Don’t miss the curries!

The food is beautiful and tasty, and it offers an original dining experience.

We’ve been here quite a few times, never disappoints. The food is delicious and so well presented. Most recently we had the set lunch menu which was delicious, perfect portion sizes and amazing value for money. The wine is always exceptional and really reasonably priced.

Lovely atmosphere and good service. However, the food somewhat average and nothing to get excited about. We were left disappointed given the raving reviews, photos and Michelin stars.

Been here a few times and the highlight for me is always the food. It's rare to find very authentic (largely unmodified) flavours - which chatora delivers - with just a tiny bit of modernization. I think they serve the best lamb seekh kababs I've eaten in London. An average place will serve seekh kebabs that are too springy whereas Chef Sunil nails them - delicate and crumbly at the gentlest bite but held together just enough. I also enjoyed the chicken biryani and black Daal. The food is a tad bit on the spicier side than average Indian places but I love the fact that the food is carefully prepared without too much oil. They also generously served us a celebration plate with cake for the special occasion we went for. Well done Chatora for maintaining your food quality. Would love to try the Pahari chicken at the next visit

Highly recommended,amazing staff and warm atmosphere!

This is a little neighbourhood restaurant, seating spaces on 3 levels. The pistachio chicken korma and Railway saag lamb was was really good. The naans were very good although expensive. The salad was a bit random with mango, pomegranate, broccoli, green beans, cherry tomatoes, feta, lettuce. Don't need so many ingredients. The falooda dessert was delicious but way too small for almost £10. Would recommend.

The best indian restaurant and food ever. Was a recommendation from another person also staying in Richmond and we could not of been happier. Will definitely return to try more of this amazing food !

Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant left much to be desired. The pricing seemed quite high for what turned out to be average food. The initial surprise of being charged £10 for water and papadum, which we assumed would be complimentary, was disappointing(at least they should have give customers a menu beforehand). While the food was alright, the portions were notably small considering the price. It's unfortunate that the overall value didn't meet our expectations.

Found this place on Google Maps during an impromptu Friday evening in Richmond. A more upmarket venue than your typical curry house, it was really busy when the four of us turned up without a reservation at 8pm. Thankfully they managed to find us a table and we had an excellent meal. The menu offers a relatively small number of dishes, but everything we had was delicious, good sized portions, which were well spiced and of high quality. The lamb shank was especially tender and tasty. Owner and our servers were friendly and welcoming. Will be back for sure 😊

Excellent spot - super food and service!

Thus is an authentic Indian restaurant owned by an Indian as compared to various others who claim to be Indian but are not

Good food but the toilets need attention. No hot water, and only a trickle of water coming out of the tap, and the hand drier does not work, at least they had soap! I thought that it was a one off, but, when we went back a few months later, the loos were still a shambles. Friendly staff but service a tad slow and not quite as attentive as some other restaurants. Overall, an ok restaurant, but, I expected a bit more attention to detail for the prices they charge.

Top, top, top dining experience. For any lamb lovers out there.. all lamb dishes were PERFECT. The chops were truly exceptional. I ordered a variety of starters, all of which were delicious. The quail keema naan was very simple but executed to perfection. All in all the flavours in the food were on point. It's not a typical Indian restaurant where the food is loaded with loads of spices and masala. In my opinion this was on the mild and subtle side which makes it very versatile for people of different palettes. It's an experience I highly recommend.

Loved the food and the service. I will go back to try other dishes from the menu
