Chutney Mary in City of London, Westminster

Bad restaurant and worst staff. I came with family and immediately got out of their bad treatment

This was our second visit to the restaurant. The food, wine and service were again exceptional. And for a high end London restaurant it’s good value

It is considered an excellent restaurant for lovers of Indian spices and pepper The service is excellent and the atmosphere is calm and elegant

Chianti Mary is one of the Indian restaurants that has been awarded a Michelin Star. Advance reservation required. To be honest, the food is clean, but there are much tastier Indian places. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fantastic and the service is frankly the best possible. Prices: very high

Overpriced and sugar laced cocktails. I was expecting food to be fascinating but it fell short of my expectations. Biriyani is a litmus test - rice was over cooked and didn’t hit the spot in terms of complexity. The moment I walked out I knew I will likely not go back.

If you don’t like spicy food, order biryanis. Unfortunately most dishes are extremely spicy for me ( what they call it mild ) and they don’t make it without spice.

The food was very good. The service was quite lackluster, certainly not what I would expect from the "best restaurant in London." We had to ask for water multiple times. The guy who was waiting on us seemed completely uninterested in our experience. Plus, for some reason it was very hot in the restaurant (it's late March and probably 50F outside). I was kind of disappointed overall. I almost forgot to add - something I had never seen before, on the menu it actually said each person at the table must spend at least £55. Seemed kind of cheeky.

Good ambience to start and staff was very warm in receiving and ensuring we are seated. The service is a bit slow, we had to wait for someone to take order everytime. Cocktails were good, loved the gold fashioned. The best in food was ghosh biryani without a doubt. Meat was so well cooked and spices were perfectly balance, a definite recommendation from our side!!

As you can see from my rating can not fault this restaurant Been here on a few special occasions Service is pucker from the moment your greeted at the door from the person stationed at the door From taking your drinks 🍸 order spot on superb Food is spectacular 👌 Atmosphere is divine A special mention to the staff who's mission is to make your dining as special as possible Definitely returning soon

Pre drink at the bar followed by meal in the main restaurant. Pricey but high quality, some of the tables around us were on the noisy side.

Full Review: Available @davidtriesitall on all social medias Chutney Mary London has been featured in the Michelin Guide and has been awarded the AA restaurant of the year award in 2023/24 along with 3 AA Rosettes Award for their culinary excellence. The interiors were stunning. The candlelight spaces with the dark wood and soft leather really creates this intimate luxurious setting especially as the low light bounces around the glasswares. It truly brought the classic luxury feels in. We had the following: Starters Tandoori Artichoke Hearts - £15.50 Baked Venison Samosa - £17 . For Mains Tandoori Lamb Chops - £42 Wild Venison Roghan Josh - £37 Lamb Biryani - £37 Naan - £4.85 . Desserts - Carrot Halwa Souffle with Pistachio Kulfi - £15 Gulab Jamun Tiramisu with Gold Leaf - £12 . The starters were absolutely top notch. The tandoori artichoke hearts were so flavourful. It had a slight tangy taste which was lovely. Couldn’t recommend more to try the baked venison samosas. It was so tender and packed with juicy flavour, it was amazing. I would go back just for that alone. . The mains didn’t hold back either. The tandoori lamb chops and venison Roghan josh were extremely savoury and delicious especially when paired with the garlic naan and lamb biryani. It definitely took it to the next level. . The desserts were so unique and exotic I loved it all especially their creative take on carrots and Souffle. Also the gold leaf was a nice touch and made what a luxurious night already even more classier. . This is definitely worth it in my books especially for special occasions. Add it to your list for sure! . Location: 73 St James’s St, St. James’s, London SW1A 1PH Nearest Tube Station: Green Park Station Price - ££££ Requirements - Gluten Free, Vegan options available .

Good food. Still water add on charge without notification not great.

One if not the best Asian restaurants I've been to (and they have plenty of rosettes to back that up). The richness and flavours of the food are amazing. The venison samosa (not triangular) was amazing. I followed that with a special lamb curry that just fell off the bone and then melted in the mouth...with a subtle heat. Absolutely magic. Recommend 👍🏻

The restaurant is beautiful and elegant and requires advance reservations from their website. All of the food is delicious (vegetable samosa, meat samosa, meat biryani, butter chicken masala, and crispy shrimp), but the restaurant is expensive, one person is approximately 85 pounds.

A great all rounder. The starters slapped and the mains really hit the spot. Top notch. 5/5.

The atmosphere is beautiful, perfect lighting with great ambience. The food was delicious! The starters were my favourite part of the meal. The tokri chaat has so many flavours that work so well with one another and I love how the pomegranate adds to the colour and gives it that extra texture. The crab cakes were perfect with the tamarind sauce that it came with, it was easy to bite into and as fishy as I was expecting. I had the prawn curry, which at first I felt could be more flavourful but to my surprise the more I had the more the flavour enhanced. The coconut and chilli came through. The prawns were perfect, big and juicy as I like and easy to break into with my naan. They really know how to make a good garlic naan. I also got the aloo tuk as a side, as I was craving some potatoes. These were extremely flavourful, could taste that chaat masala. The potatoes were amazingly soft on the inside and it had a nice crunch outside which was satisfying to bite into. Drinks - I opted for the mango lassi. This was my least favourite part of the meal due to the lassi being more on the sour side rather than sweet, however it is not mango season so can only blame the mangoes. I also tried the mango nojito which I prefer as I wanted a sweet drink, it was decorated with pomegranates and mint. I would highly recommended and would love to go back to try more.

Absolutely horrible service , rude receptionist not friendly and doesn’t accommodate or listen when you speak and the manager was even worse Honestly if I didn’t already know how good their food is I wouldn’t stay an extra minute in this restaurant If you are willing to have good food with horrible treatment go to this place , honestly so sad to see how they changed over the years, customer service is the most important aspect of a restaurant but I guess this restaurant does not understand that

We were part of a private dining group and had the most delicious food and a drinks waiter to keep our glasses filled and everyone happy. One of the very best dining experiences we have had in London

I hosted a party of 10 in the Pukka Bar and both the food & service were scored 5* by every one of my guests. Particular highlights were the Tokri Chaat, the Butter Chicken and the delightful Dessert Bowl. Also special mention of the Lyme Bay Bacchus wine - excellent - and the highly attentive staff. A worthy alternative to its sister restaurant on Regent Street.

Great food and atmosphere. Will definitely come back. Only negative point is that it’s not allowed to bring leftover food to go. Such a waste of food.

Loved the food and the service. The restaurant was beautiful and comfortable. Would definitely go again.

Nice service and great team members. Delicious indian food. If you want to eat indian food then highly recommended

Fantastic food which was well presented, great service, and a beautiful ambience which was set in an environment which had exceptional decor. Good central location too. Would recommend to friends and family.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints. This is not your ordinary Indian restaurant but rather a refined experience in a beautiful decor.

They claim on their website that they cater for Jain's but when rang in advance to see what's possible/available they do not provide anything that deviates from the menu. Absolutely nothing! False advertising at its blatant!

Excellent food, although a little expensive. The vibe is fabulous, but it does get rather noisy so conversation can be difficult. BEWARE: you will be charged £30 per person if you have to cancel on the day of your reservation. For this reason I will NEVER return, as cancelling early in the morning of a quiet Monday in January didn't deprive the restaurant of other potential covers for dinner that evening.

India 🇮🇳 food .. balance spices level and acceptable ... sweet was not wow .. lovely warm

one of the most delicious indian restaurants i have ever visited! the service was great. the atmosphere awesome. 👍👍👍

Do not go here if you are a group of young women, they will not take you seriously. A rushed experience with poor service and average, overpriced food… not fine dining. Our party of three went to Chutney Mary yesterday (Saturday 27 January) for dinner. My friend booked it for her 25th birthday and we had high expectations for what we thought would be a quality experience but turned out to be very average food with poor (verging on rude) service. I was ignored when I sat for ages without a menu. When my friends arrived, the waiter asked if we were ready to order, and we politely asked for two more minutes. He then got the manager to come to our table and tell us we had to order immediately because they wanted the table back at 9:15pm. Whilst I totally understand tables need to be cleared for other reservations, the manner in which this was done was distasteful and set a negative tone for the rest of the evening, as we felt rushed and as if their eyes were constantly on us. This is not what one expects from a fine dining restaurant where you should feel welcomed and relaxed, particularly as you are spending so much money. The lamb kebab is not a kebab. It’s just two overpriced pieces of lamb (ie not minced meat). Our two other starters - the paneer and chaat - were tasty. But you can get the same at any other Indian restaurant at a far more reasonable price. The dal makhani was nice, but we soon realised that it was FULL of oil. Whole puddles of oil on our plates. You’re better off going to Dishoom. We informed the restaurant it was our friend’s birthday. They kindly brought some chocolate ice cream for her, but the surprise was very much tampered by the fact that the waiter miserably lit the dessert at the table in front of her. We ordered masala tea to finish the evening. After 10 minutes, the manager told us there is none left because another party of 30 had consumed it all. We knew this was a bid to get rid of us so they could have the table back. The manager did not offer us anything else complimentary, knowing it’s a birthday celebration and we were visibly disappointed. A month ago we went to Gymkhana and we were given a free starter as an apology for something not being on the menu - that is real customer service. The bill was put on our table and we were pressured to leave. As three young Indian women, we felt consistently sidelined and not taken seriously. Very unprofessional.

Best Indian restaurant I have eaten in. I would have given 5 stars overall if I could have taken home what I was unable to eat, but unfortunately they don't have the license for this.

One of the best Indian restaurants in London, but twisted to fit international trendy taste.

You can decide to spend a lot, it's up to you. You may want a posh place, ok. But three prawns? Really? Not even four? Are you kidding me?

Incredibly reliable top quality Indian fusion food, returned after several years and, whilst the look of some of the dishes has changed slightly, the taste hasn’t and it’s exactly how it should be. Great for a business lunch/dinner or a date, the place is packed after 7.30pm.

Amazing experience overall, the best curry I’ve ever had, the staff were lovely and the restaurant was stunning

A fantastic experience every time. Welcoming, comfortable, relaxed, great interior, attentive and friendly staff ... and of course: Amazing, outstanding food:10/10 ...it always is! In my top 10 favourite places to eat. Everyone I have ever taken has agreed (US clients loved it, and still talk about it today) ...do stop at the bar on the way in (or out) the cocktails are seriously good, as is the bartender!

Very nice upscale Indian restaurant with very friendly service. High quality flavours and drinks.

My favorite dish was their crispy naan salad and butter chicken ..

Great vegetarian options. Food was delicious and unique.

Bad service the bring food very fast to let you leave

Just same old taste and interesting new additions!

Originally booked a table at Veeraswamy but due to electrical failure place was shut down and they recommended their sister restaurant. Compared to Veeraswamy the taste of the food was nowhere close sadly assertion of the groups. Another thing was there were so many staff in the restaurant to attend other tables so was very conscious of them passing by. My question is do they need that many staff? Service was top-class very attentive. The ambience again is very good and could do with some either Indian Classical instrumental music or light Jazz. Room was somewhat dark so all those Instagrammers hoping for good photos just forget it. Oh they don't allow patrons to use flash photography either.

Un bon restaurant indi. Cuina autòctona ben executada. Atenció un pèl excesiva del servei. Sala ben decorada i condicionada, també te un petit menjador privat per a una dotzena de comensals. Preu una mica elevat, però a Londres, tot és car. Mostra un diploma de millor restaurant del 2023.

This place never disappoints. Pure Authentic taste of India. Creative presentation with fusion of Indian traditional dishes .

الاكل كله لذيذ.. butter chicken, chilly paneer , scallops الحلى لذيذ جداً honey comb kolfe

Simply exquisite! As vegetarians, it’s not that easy to find a good fine dining experience worth the cost! Chutney Mary’s menu - both food and drink, cover a range of tastes. They also have good vegan options! The portion sizes are also very good. The ambience is superb and the staff are friendly as well. Definitely recommend to anyone considering a fine dining experience in London!

Amazing place. Food is out of this world

Best Indian restaurant, as always up to the mark. Chutney Mary sets the bar high for fine dining Indian cuisine. With its impeccable service, remarkable flavors, and elegant ambiance, it guarantees an extraordinary experience that will leave you longing to return. Whether you are an avid fan of Indian cuisine or simply seeking an unforgettable dining experience, Chutney Mary is the place to go. Highly recommended.

My favourite restaurant in London! Amazing food and great atmosphere.

الاجواء حيوية، والخدمة ممتازة، والطعام كمطعم عندي لا يتفوق على غيره. يشترطون 55 باوند حد ادنى للشخص

فيه حد ٥٥ باوند على الشخص ، لذيذ والاجواء حلوه بس ما يسوى السعر ولا الطعم مميز هندي عادي

Sat at the bar and had their signature Goa Martini cocktail. Would recommend

We called in the morning regarding an issue with our reservation where our reservation was cancelled and the problem was resolved by an extremely helpful member of staff. However I was in utter shock at the disrespect of the lady we talked to on the phone to notify her that we were running late this call was around 10:12 pm and the kitchen closes at 10:15 we did not know this and then when we called them we told them that we know what we would like, and to put through the order or cooperate with us, she had told us that if we don’t make in two minutes time she can’t help us (which is valid however the attitude was not and she made it clear we are not welcome.) I had this call on speaker and even the Uber driver was shocked at extremely unprofessional attitude and impatience of this woman. I didn’t catch the name of the lady however she as blond. We had talked to Mr. Sachil and we explained to him that we have been having so many issues and we were upset with the behaviour of the staff and so despite running late he sorted us out took our order and helped us with the menu, he was such a sweetheart and honestly chutney Mary is very lucky to have him because if it was not for him and the other servers I would have not recommended chutney Mary to anyone because extremely bad service of the receptionist. ‏ As for the food it was amazing I just hope they inform the receptionist that her behaviour was not appropriate and I cannot imagine how many customers would be put off with that attitude.

Lekker indisch eten. Prijs kaliteit is perfect in verhouding. Mooie zaak. Personeel was goed. Niet top, maar gewoon goed.

One of the best fine dining places in London.

Amazing place. Great fresh food .Very authentic 🥘

Great Christmas lunch. Food was amazing

The food, atmosphere service and interior design are just absolutely divine. My friends and l had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much to all of you at Chutney Mary!!!!

الاكل عادي وغالي والخدمة بطيئة والكمية قليله

Delicious, and great service. One of my favorite restaurants!

A classic if your after an old school classy Indian restaurant, service could be a bit more attentive

James helped us with a lovely dinning experience and recommended a perfect wine too

Simply the best Indian fine dining restaurant in London! from the perfectly cooked Tandoori Lamb Chops to the incredible "Old Spice" cocktail my latest meal was the best ever!!!What a place!!! Great job CM!

Superb food and excellent service. Really worth a visit. Highlight was the venison curry.

Once again just simply superb!! My family and I love this restaurant and it just doesn't disappoint!

The best Indian restaurant in London. It is expensive but the food is amazing and the service is excellent. The Afghani chicken tikka is beyond words. The chicken is so well cooked and tender with perfect spicing. Love the prawn starter too. I would say it's worth paying more when the quality of food is excellent. The waiter who served us was very friendly, attentive and professional. Happy with everything.

Another amazing meal at our absolute favourite restaurant in London...... the staff are so friendly and we were well looked after by Joseph who was excellent ...... the restaurant has adapted very well with the Covid rules and I feel very safe there , it’s a beautiful clean environment.... and obviously the food is always fantastic.

Simply the most enjoyable, beautiful, delicious experience. Haven’t been since the New King’s Road days. This place is amazing. And the service is wonderful

Top quality food, top quality service and even in these times a great atmosphere.The staff are doing their best in difficult times but are succeeding in brining you the quality you have come to expect from this place.We eat here fairly regularly and are rarely disappointed.

Estuve allí para el chole puri halwa pero no estaba disponible. Me dijeron que necesitaba mucha preparación para hacer (¿Lo hace? Lo hago en casa). Otro miembro del personal dijo que habían reducido el menú debido a Covid, lo cual está bien, pero esto podría haberse actualizado en el sitio web. Pasamos algún tiempo tratando de establecer que las samosas no estaban hechas de filo. Cuando llegaron, estaban hechos de filo. Me dijeron que el biryani estaba horneado cubierto con una costra de masa, no fue cuando llegó. (Me preocupo ahora que estoy tratando con un camarero cuyo pago probablemente no se correlaciona con el gasto y la ubicación del restaurante, pero es responsabilidad del restaurante capacitar a su personal).Fue una comida agradable pero cara para lo que era, incluso con la oferta del almuerzo. Probablemente no se molestaría en volver.

Impeccable service and wonderful food. The choice of grilled dishes provides lighter options, and the mixed popads are delish. The wine list is also great.

No habíamos comido en Chutney Mary desde que se mudaron de Chelsea hace muchos años, pero el ambiente y la decoración son aún mejores y la comida igual de buena. Fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo, así que fue un "menú de brunch" con una excelente relación calidad-precio en lugar del completo a la carta, pero había 6 - 8 opciones para cada plato, todas lucen excelentes. El entrante de gambas fritas era especialmente bueno, el naan con mantequilla delicioso y el Galub Jalum tan dulce era tan bueno como recuerdo de visitas anteriores. También es digno de mención el litro de jarras de cóctel para compartir solo 18 fantásticos valores. Si te gusta la calidad india (no la típica marsala, etc.) debes probar esto.

Visité Chutney Mary y me hicieron sentir muy bienvenido. Encontré el restaurante impecable y muy cómodo. Disfruté de la comida y me sorprendió la calidad y el precio. Sentí que nada era demasiado para los camareros. Me sentí un huésped valioso y me sentí muy cómodo. Me sirvieron con prontitud y disfruté de la mejor comida fresca y cálida de calidad. Sentí que el restaurante era muy cómodo con muchos invitados servidos en un ambiente cálido. El restaurante me sorprendió con la calidad de la comida y la relación calidad-precio. Espero volver pronto y probar la comida del extenso menú preparado por preparadores de alimentos altamente calificados que son un crédito para el oeste de Londres. Sé que la salsa picante de mango, el pepinillo de lima, la salsa de menta y la ensalada de cebolla se encuentran en la mayoría de los restaurantes indios. Me sirvieron otros condimentos deliciosos que me sorprendieron y disfruté la comida, pero puede que no sea del agrado de todos. Pensé que el precio de la comida y las bebidas era justo según el restaurante y la ubicación. Gracias. abdul. mateen 01 @hotmail. co. Reino Unido

To celebrate our anniversary we enjoyed a delicious meal at C.Mary whilst staying over in London.The grilled prawns are probably the biggest you have seen ,3 to a main dish.The lamb was perfectly cooked and the chilli cheese naan divine.For desserts we had two Kulfi’s.Can’t what to go back.

Mi esposa y yo tuvimos un descanso y decidimos darnos un capricho.Qué delicia fue la comida era increíble, el entorno y el ambiente era genial. Los camareros nos parecieron muy atentos.En resumen, recibimos un servicio de primera clase y la comida era divina. Me encanta el hecho de que el sitio web nos dio una guía de lo que nos costaría la comida y acertaron.Recomendaría este restaurante a cualquiera que quiera una comida especial en una ocasión especial.Definitivamente reservaré una visita de regreso para celebrar nuestro aniversario de bodas el próximo año y es posible que tenga que obtener una visita descarada para almorzar durante nuestro viaje de compras de Navidad.Me gustaría agradecer al equipo por una velada tan agradable y memorable.

We visited Chutney Mary for my wife's birthday. The food was fantastic, extremely tasty and cooked perfectly. Great ambience and surroundings allow you to be comfortable and enjoy your meal.The service was excellent, we were shown straight to our pre-booked table, our dietary requirements re-confirmed and order taken. The drinks arrived quickly, followed by our meal. At the end of our meal, a lovely birthday message and desert was presented to my wife - lovely touch.An excellent experience and we will be back again.

Nice place but awful service and I mean awful!!! These guys do not have a clue about customer service and how to look after customers and for the manger, where do I start!!! We attended for a birthday visit, pre called the restaurant when booking we advised of our dietary requirements they advised these could be met advised, after arriving and ordering the food only when questioned we found out we could eat the food we just ordered could not be eaten, we nearly risked our health , when we questioned and challenged the management about allowing this happen there was empathy and any responsibility taken by them that they they cocked up!!! Just a case of tough, so we chose to leave and visited another instead, guys if you want my true opinion stay away! Your better going elsewhere where custom is valued and they actually care and take pride in their customers visiting , true and honest opinion guys stay away

Visited Chutney Mary for our Anniversary Dinner with Family at the weekend.Food was everything we expected and more – very nice indeed.However, the Service needs some serious attention….We had called ahead to book a table for 4 guests for pre-dinner drinks.On arrival, no table booked and ushered to a random table, waited for nearly 10 mins then headed to the Bar to order drinks. Additional seating for our guests never turned up – even though we were told they haven’t forgotten us. During the meal – we had to chase the waiter for the drinks ordered with our mealI’d expect a polished service from such a high end restaurant.Walked away – very disappointed.

Great restaurant which offers understated surroundings/ambience and great food. family friendly with excellent service , the Nans, butter chicken and Afghani chicken are excellent. Dishes are packed with flavour and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Nice restaurant, very good service, good food. In these difficult times, the staff were professional and efficient. The food was good.

Very impressed with our post lock down visit. Impressive covid cleaning details. Glad they still had the brunch menu which makes Chutney far more affordable. The food was even better than I remembered it to be. The paneer melted in the mouth. The signature tokri chaat vegetable filled potato basket a delight and the new vegetarian grill fabulous. Who knew grilled marsala sweet corn could be so soft. The only think lacking was atmosphere as the room was very empty and the music very soft I felt as if we needed to whisper ! I do miss the live music they used to have at brunch!

Had two great lunches in successive weeks with some work colleagues. Excellent service, great food, good measures taken for Covid precautions. I would highly recommend.

Visited Chutney Mary’s pre- Covid, loved the food and once restrictions were lifted went again.Food is still outstanding and presented so beautifully it’s not like ordinary curry.What impressed me most in these trying times is the lengths they have gone to that make you feel safe.There is a doorman taking your temperature before you enter. Hand sanitiser pumps (foot-operated) are at various locations and all bathroom doors have self-cleaning pads on all touchable surfaces. Waiting staff all wear visors, tables are well spaced and each place setting also offers an anti-viral wipe.However, none of these measures detracted from what was a delightful occasion.Well done Chutney Mary!

The decor is stunning but the food way over-priced. Understandably the menu was limited due to the recent and gradual re-opening but the prices of food and drinks are very expensive and not at all good value. One would expect top level service at these prices but several times it was a struggle to get hold of a waiter.Can get good Indian food elsewhere at much lower prices.

We can’t help but return to Chutney Marys time and time again. The food is outstanding, attentive service with friendly staff and the ambience in the restaurant is great. There really isn’t anything I can complain about, other than not living close enough to London to go more often!!Thank you for hosting another wonderful evening spent with family

Attended early in dinner service for an anniversary meal.I will keep this short. The food itself was very good, the tokri chaat in particular was well flavoured. The quality of food outdid Jamavar by far and also its sister restaurant Amaya, though the portion sizes are piddly. Ala Carte portions come more like tasting menu sizes. However, where this place was SERIOUSLY let down was the level of service. This place is pricey, our meal between two was around £168 (£20 for "service"). So what should set this place apart from a high class eatery and a good Indian restaurant should be the service, but this was significantly lacking.Plates were served and left without cutlery on several occasions. We felt left along for most of service, having to flag down staff members. Then it took almos 20-30 minutes for them to bring our coffee after ordering. The guys on the floor were working hard, however it was clear there simply werent enough staff to cover the floor. This really isnt acceptable given the price off a cover, and similar standard places such as Amaya and Jamavar had better service.I am torn, as the food was certainly great, perhaps it was an off night. We will give them another chance perhaps because of the food, but if another strike in service, I wont be giving them custom again. Please improve your floor service to match the price you charge!

Had lunch today. Gorgeous food as expected.Staff lovely... felt very safe. All precautions adhered to. Very glad we booked.Will return. Thank you for your care.

The food is sublime with outstanding flavors. Service is stunning and, for me, it is a real jewel in St. James's. Quite simply it is one of the most fantastic dining experiences I have ever had. It's not cheap but you can't eat money. The dishes are like a culinary journey. I have been a few times and the atmosphere is wonderful

A lovely restaurant and very different to your usual place to get a curry. The food here was very tasty and the restaurant itself was a really nice place to be, and this all came at a price. My vegetarian plater came in at £24, and although the quality was clearly very high, I was expecting slightly more food. The indian Lager priced at £8 for 2/3s of a pint was also pretty steep. I visited here with a friend, but would say it's more of a place for a date. Overall, very happy with the quality of everything that I ordered.

Been wanting to come to this micheline Indian restaurant for a long time and got in last December. It was fabulous from the moment we walked in. Great bar for a pre dinner drink, and a lovely atmosphere. Not a rushed service and it was busy but all the staff were so helpful and accommodaing. Around £200 for 2 for dinner and drinks, but worth the experience.

Upon seating in this overly stuffy place they asked about allergies. We had theater tickets so asked to order efficiently and I had selected two items I was interested in. I told the waiter no walnuts, pine nuts or pecans but in ok with almonds, pistachios and cashews, commonly used in Indian cooking. He then sent out someone else who had a chart and I had to say the same again. Whereupon he very rudely informed me of the nit policy, that all foods could be contaminated and they use nuts extensively. I explained that I have not been anaphylactic and I can accept the risk of contamination but I just want items cooked without these three nuts. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast so I suggested my husband have a meal and I could have rice and or nan. Again the man persisted that I couldn’t eat anything. And so we left. He was very very rude. The menu noted only few items with nuts, I looked. If they’re really so pervasive that should be noted in the menu and online before you make a reservation. This cost us a nice night out as we came from out of town and no longer had time for a decent restaurant.

Have been here a couple of times - I'd gone to the Chelsea version and whilst the food / general ambience isn't quite as nice as it used to be, it still bangs as a restaurant. I would echo what some other reviews say that the beers are overpriced, £8 for a bottle with your curry leaves a slightly bad taste in the mouth. Also would suggest that you live up to your name?? One of the best things about the Chelsea restaurant was that they offered delicious side servings of chutneys - now you have to go out of your way and ask and the staff seem almost confused!!! Chutney is a MUST. Bring back the funky flavours I say! I wonder if having some roaming magicians would help the atmosphere too...?

Expensive but so delish! Went twice in one week and loved the Butter Chicken and lamb. Great staff as well!

Lamb chops were excellent but expensive for the portion size. The rest of the food was good but not great, sag paneer side was particularly disappointing.

Very disappointed this used to be one of our favourite restaurants however the service we received was well below par. Table was booked for 7 but had to chase at 7.15 to ask if our table was ready. Then had to wait till 7.50 before being asked for a drink and our order. Then throughout our meal the service was slow, was made to feel like they would get to us when it suited them. Was a shame as food great Wasn’t asked if our meal was ok and even when we went to leave and I asked for the managers name wasn’t asked why, maybe they don’t care !

This was our second visit. The food is wonderful - and nothing like normal high-street Indian. Decor also pleasant, and always a fascinating mix of people. My only complaint is that the service tends to be a bit rushed and uncaring: would be nice to get more attention and kindness.

لا جدوى من طعام لذيذ مع خدمة صعيفة

Sur les recommandations de notre hôtel (Sofitel), nous avons dîné dans ce restaurant.

Yes it’s expensive but that’s what comes with it’s location I suppose. The food is excellent and so is the service. It easily gets into top 10.

We met some friends on Friday 14th February who had come from Scotland for a long week-end in London for lunch. My husband and two friends thought the food exceptional and enjoyed every morsel. As for me, I have a few dietary problems and cannot deal with too much spice, the restaurant could not have been more helpful, so very grateful as my meal was also cooked beautifully. Dear Chutney Mary, we thank you for a lovely lunch.

Wide selection of tasty indian dishes - perfect and helpful service to make the proper choice. Very pleasant atmosphere to enjoy great meals and good wine. Recommended!
