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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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

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.

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 😊

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.

The food, while generally tasty, makes a deliberate attempt to be modern and innovative, which leads to a higher price point that might not be justified. The mango rice, in particular, lacks flavor and is not worth the cost. We ordered three mains, poppadoms (a disappointing mix of fresh and packaged), two bread, two steamed rice, an unsatisfactory mango rice, and four lassi drinks, resulting in a bill of over 140 quid. Comparatively, other restaurants like Dishoom or Veeraswamy off Regent Street offer better value for money with similar prices, providing more satisfying experiences. Regarding the service, it was average, but our waitress appeared disinterested, and we sensed a hint of disapproval when we chose not to order dessert. Overall, the food is good for the most part, but it simply doesn't offer enough value for the price in our opinion.

Really disappointed with the icecream I had today at Venchi Richmond. Most of the time I have large at Venchi Sloane Square and I receive proper scoops. Today I had in Richmond probably same quantity
