Chingari a Progressive Indian Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Fue una experiencia muy agradable para mis gustos. Finalmente un restaurante indio que sirve comida a la paleta india. No edulcoradas, no engañado de los sabores de la India. El Biryani de pollo tiene un gusto increíble, cardamomo, pimienta negra, perfectamente sazonada! y el pollo de mantequilla masaala es más que un simple endulzados aroma.

Yo y mi hermana estaba pasando y pensamos que lo probamos, estoy tan contento que hicimos, nos encantó. Optamos por el menú para el almuerzo. La comida era excelente así como el servicio. Es muy tranquilo a la hora del almuerzo, que es lo que me gusta. No cabe duda de que volveremos.

Steer clear of this restaurant I was up throughout the night with horrendous stomach cramps and projectile vomiting.

The number of Indian restaurants in London is ..well they are too many, but the fine cousin in Indian food is not much and this place excels in it, soft creamy and tender cooking that is spiced to ur request, this is a good experience, loved the interior and service was very extremely hospitable, the saffron rice and the butter chicken is a must, and the desert was just fine dinning, we had the golab jamun with ice cream which was great after a spicy meal to sooth everything together

He estado aquí dos veces. No desde Garnier abrió sus puertas hace unos años ha habido un restaurante en SW5 que sabe que está en lo que se refiere a la comida que sirven.

Venga a chicos. Puedo ir al club de canela y tomar algún plato realmente creativo para unos 18 libras que llegará con un lado arroz pan o algo así. ¿Por qué ir a un lugar a una pequeña casa por encima de la planta de curry y pagar 14,95 para un cordero Dopiaza y enemigos de arroz 3,25 . Así que la principal saldrá a ser más de 18 libras por una Dopiaza. De todas maneras el servicio estaba bien, pero no volveremos seguro.

Visitamos aquí con mi hermana almuerzo hace un par de semanas y lo disfruté mucho.

Brilliant service and fantastic food!! High qualityof food nice atmosphere! Must go to place!!!!!!!!

Fuimos en diciembre con un compañero de trabajo, agradable decoración. No es un gran menú a elegir pero algunas interesantes platos. curry de ferrocarril era el mejor plato de los dos teníamos, este lugar es más caro que otros de la zona y aunque bueno no creo que las diferencias de precio está justificado, el vino es también caro

the best Indian meal I had in London, a great addition to earls court area, beautiful place great ambiance, excellent service but let down by their toilets, still would definitely recommend,

Good food but had to wait a little too long for the second plate that was supposed to arrive at the same time than the first one ( in the meantime first was cold) Not sure what they mean by progressive food though. Maybe a little bit overrated for the price but nice decorum and good service. A good experience.

Un joli restaurant au service attentionné. La cuisine est bien maîtrisée, créative et les saveurs sont au rendez-vous de ce moment très agréable. On s'éloigne sensiblement des standards de la cuisine indienne souvent trop sucrée, trop épicée, trop grasse. Bravo !

My expectations were tempered because of all the disappointment I have had with Indian food in London...but that changed with Chingari. It was delicious. The Tandori Prawns were fantastic. Across the board, the best Indian I have had in London. The only annoying part of the dinner was the waiter forgetting to take our dessert order. If we didn't have a show to go to, it would have been fine, but we were in a rush and the waiter never came back. It was the manager that ended up bringing us our bill. Regardless, I would definitely go back.

My fiancee and I had dinner at Chingari on a friday evening, after seeing the advertising near Earl's Court Tube Station. Atmosphere at Chingari was wonderful, a very quite and classy place; waiters were very kind and helpful with our food choice. The food was great and well presented: Konkan Railway Lamb Curry was one of the best currys I've ever eaten, well balanced with spices and flavours; my fiancee had a Vegetable Biriyani that was superb too. Portions were generous, basmati rice well cooked and fragrant, garlic naans perfect. Price was right (55 pounds service included, with beer and water) and for sure Chingari will be our first choice for indian food next time we'll be in London.

Recently opened - good luck ! Great north indian food, i thoroughly enjoyed the taster menu which was a fab selection. I will definitely be going back !

I am so happy to have found this gem within walking distance of my home. The food was truly delicious and the service impeccable. I can't wait to go back.

I've been staying local to Earls Court every week for the past 2 years and for 3 years from 2005 - 2007 and I get told about this restaurant on my last week in London! Up until then I'd not found a good Indian locally, but this is a great one.The food is a little on the expensive side - £58 for 2 average priced main courses, 1 rice, 1 roti, 1 nan, a side of Dahl Makani, a bottle of water - no starters or deserts and no beer or wine - but you get what you pay for and in this case it was quality food and good service. Expect around £15 per curry.Nice flavours and good tasting food.

Nouveau restaurant dans le quartier, mérite une visite ! Tout était tres bon : Fisher tikka et medley de poulet tikka suivi de poulet Murphy , bouteille de vin italien ... Service attentionné, cadre et éclairage agréables ! Un délicieux resto indien moderne a Earls Court !

Having moved to the area from North West London, where Indian food is at its best (apart from India), we usually end up in the usual high end and expensive places.Great to find a local place where you can just pop in and get good tasting food. The service would match and even beat any other Indian I've been to. Will defiantly use again and probably as a regular.

fantastic food- you got to try the tandoori king prawns. Succulent and worth the price tag. Service was excellent and the manager Tapesh extremely knowledgeable about the food and laid out a great spread. the food was to die for. Thoroughly recommend the place.

I came here alone, after reading some positive reviews. I must say that I can only confirm the very positive experience.I can recommend the a hair paneer aur kumb, with bhindi ajwani as side dish, as well as pudina paratha (kind of garlic naan)Congrats to the chef and personnel

great menu great service food tasty innovative and excellent value for money we will be back soon i am sure

Being close to home, we had been meaning to visit since it opened several months ago, on the site of the former Mr Wing. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, there being a table of six and two couples other than us. This was probably a reflection of the weather rather than the food.We were well looked after by Tapesh – ex Gymkhana restaurant and very knowledgeable about both Chingari’s food and the competition against which the restaurant aspires to be compared. We had a starter each- a soft shell crab and whiting fritters. We then shared a prawn and spinach main (Saagwala Jingha at £15.95) with three vegetable sides, a roti and rice. Along with a good value bottle of Viognier, our bill with service was £100 and the food was both very good and the quantity was more than enough; we ended taking home what we could not eat.This is not your normal neighbourhood Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant; the menu and quality of food aspires to top end Indian dining and the prices reflect this. Don’t come here if you want a long menu concocted from a small number of “stock” sauces, each dish on the relatively short, but more than adequate menu is freshly cooked. Overall we much enjoyed our visit and will certainly return to Chingari.

As a long time resident of Earls Court I have to make sure I shout out about the gems when I stumble across them because I want to make sure they succeed and stick around in my neighbourhood. I doubt that Chingari needs my help in this department but not since Garnier opened up a few years back has a local restaurant got it so right.The food is great, made with real care and understanding of flavour and nuance. The presentation on the plate is mouth-watering and the service is impeccable.And then to top it all off you get a bill that doesn't financially cripple you! In West London? How have they managed this??Really good.

We live just around the corner from our new neighbour and have been a bit slow about dropping in and meeting them. What a shame - as very soon I think it may be hard to get in. I'm always a bit reluctant with Indian restaurants having spent so much time in India over the past 30 years. They can tend to be pale imitations of the real thing - and can also be anglo-indian or even from neighbouring countries.This is the real deal - and when they say progressive they mean it. It is very good, but without going to the lengths of Benares. Go before the crowds find it. Luckily for us, it will still be just around the corner.

This new little place near Earl's Court was a pleasant surprise for me..who is forever looking for authentic Indian food in London. This is by far one of the most authentic places- nearly reminded me of food back in Delhi..!

The greeting was warm,and the staff knowledgeable and efficient; The complementary papadums and accompanying chutneys were light, subtle and delicious.Presentation of the dishes which followed was a visual delight only surpassed by their wonderful, authentic flavours. Given the quality of the ingredients and the evident ability of the chef the price was very reasonable. Next time in London we will certainly return.

At last we have a good Indian restaurant in Earls Court. Good atmosphere and interesting food. Some traditional such as Biryanis and some more inventive, Great authentic flavours with fresh ingredients. Staff were very attentive and helpful. We loved it and will return. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food.

The manager of this great new restaurant used to run the Michelin starred Benares. They promise only fresh, organic ingredients, and the results are spectacular, and not as expensive as they deserve to be. On site of Mr Wing restaurant, they deserve to be successful. I have been twice and will go again

I ordered the Tandoori platter, Okra side dish and Naan and it was amazing. The platter included salmon, chicken, prawn and lamb kebab and the presentation and the food were both incredible. I am sorry I forgot to take a picture of the dish. It came served on a slate and each piece of meat was a different color. The food melted in the mouth and the mix of spice was delicate and full of flavour. I highly recommend. Service was super too...

Been here twice since it opened (in what was formerly Mr Wing), first time with the 50% off food offer, second time a few days ago.Space is good, choice of seats in different zones, menu/cooking is very good, done to order, not the usual mass of gee/sauce into which different things are dipped - this is different, nicely balanced and spiced. Portion size is OK for most dishes, although the main curry dishes don't have that much meat in them given the £13-£15 or so price just for the curry (rice, sides extra). Had a biriyani last time, came inside a baked pastry crust, very nice.Service was friendly and efficient.Drawbacks? The pricing of the wine. There are (I think) no bottles under £20, two red/white around the £25 mark, but the vast majority of wines are £30 and well above. This will put some off ordering a second bottle, and certainly the wines are firmly at the upper end of the price spectrum for the area compared to, say, The Bottlery, Garnier, or the other nearby places.Other than that it's a good place to go to, especially if there is an offer one (they do an early dinner special, delivery is also offered), but we'll only go occasionally because of the wine prices - went to Dean Street Townhouse restaurant the day after and there were lots of great wines in this £600+ a night hotel sub-£30 so just be aware of the prices.

This restaurant serves very good traditional Indian dishes (curry, biryani, dhal...) as well as some inventive dishes like the Samudri Khazana (Sea treasure) and the duo of brulee with mango and rose.A very good choice if you are in the Earl's Court area.

We went for a meal to this lovely restaurant that was highly recommended to us. It completely sets itself apart from regular Indian restaurants. The quality of the food is superb. I had scallops to start which were absolutely beautiful. I opted for lamb for the main course which again was really wonderful. Flavours were fabulous and the quality of all the ingredients was of a high standard. Although it was quiet when we ate there on a Sunday night, there was lovely atmosphere there.I highly recommend it.

My mom and I decided to try this restaurant after seeing an advert for the opening. What a great find. Having lived in the area for 10 years, we have been looking for a delicious, local Insian restaurant. The food is truly authentic and the service is very attentive. I will definitely be going back and taking as many friends as possible.

I had seen an advert for this restaurant on the Tube and feeling lazy decided to wander around and try it rather than cook myself. As it happened this was during its "soft launch".I was very impressed. The restaurant itself was clean and new, well fitted out. The service friendly and prompt. I had the chicken tikka medley which was well presented and very tasty then the chicken biriyani which was both full of flavour and generous in serving.My waiter did err as I had ordered the lamb biriyani but they picked up on the mistake themselves, apologised (I was happy to keep the chicken) adjusted the bill appropriately and brought out a complimentary desert (which was lovely).I'll be going back.

Restaurant recently opened and was attracted to the 50% discount for food, but would have been worth full price. Started with a fantastic vegetable kebab trio with broccoli- a welcome addition to Indian cuisine. The lamb biryani was topped by a puff pastry, which the attentive and well-informed staff explained was actually an traditional preparation now too often omitted. The dish might have benefited from more intense spices, but the lamb was as moist and tender as chopped meat.Dessert was a duo of brules-rose and mango. The mango especially had a complexity of delicious flavors. Only wish I lived in London to eat here more often.
