Colonel Saab in Camden

Lovely restaurant with one of the best Indian meals that I have ever had. Service was impeccable. Loved the art and the overall attention for detail.

While everyone talks about dishoom - this place was recommended to us by hotel Concierge since we were staying in Covent Garden, which was close to the restaurant. we are so glad to have dined here. Food was excellent. The chicken tikka kebab in particular was outstanding and probably the best I have had anywhere else. The server recommended some signature dishes, which were delicious. The ambience is excellent, and our server was extremely friendly. I also dined at Dishoom during this trip and was thoroughly disappointed. I would go to this place any time and recommend it wholeheartedly if you are visiting London, and looking for a good experience with Indian food

Great service by Aakash and authentic food. It is a preferred place for private dining area. Both veg and non veg options were great and delicious

Lovely restaurant with very friendly and attentive staff. We asked them for recommendations and we loved everything they served. Just sorry we don’t live in London or it would be a frequent stop for us.

Absolutely fantastic! The pepper beef and the lamb in Sunday gravy were both out of this world. Terrific attentive and charming service by Sagar. We will be sending others!

The food was lovely and the ambience of the restaurant was nice. However the service was poor, waited ages for drinks, starters came out in two phases, vegetarian first and then meat, when asked the reason for the delay it was the meat starters take longer to cook surely you would then start cooking meat starters first....... Then slapped on 12.5% service charge which we refused to pay. They need to invest in training for the service staff.

Great service and great food. I would come back here. Our waitress was studying for a food degree so she gave good recommendations. Beer was good. Food was great. Desserts were delicious. I usually like gulch jamun but I had the rice pudding. We eat Indian and Nepali food in the USA and we thought this was quite good.

While very busy on a weekend night, we were seated promptly (with a reservation). The ambience was romantic. The beverages (pistachio lassi & lychee juice) were especially unique. I like spicy and thought the food had the right amount of heat. My husband who doesn't like spicy liked the Jaipuri Baby Aloo.

12 of us went for a birrthday. I felt staff were bored and rude and food was mediocre at best. Definitely better options in london.

La nourriture est excellente, repas succulent et très bon accueil Notre serveur Prince a été parfait très bon conseil, grande gentillesse Parfait nous avons passé une très belle soirée entre amis à recommander

Déçue par le restaurant, j’y suis allée en décembre 2023 et nous avions aimé les plats et le personnel. De retour en avril, nous sommes déçus par les plats et le service. Boisson oubliée, plats en plus que nous n’avions pas pris…la nourriture dans l’ensemble n’était pas exceptionnelle. Nous ne reviendrons pas.

Horrendous experience. We went for their Afternoon Tea on 1 April 2024 and got violent food poisoning. When I wrote a complaint and asked for a refund, I received a phone call saying that a refund would not be possible because they had not had any other complaints and submitted test results to the local health authorities to confirm they had no food poisoning. They then offered me a discount voucher on a future visit. Why they would think that I ever want to come back after such a bad experience and poor customer service is beyond me.

Fantastic good tasty authentic Indian food and Service was excellent. Tanish who attended to our table was very knowledgeable in her recommended choice of dishes and spot on. Kudos to the chefs for consistent good quality cooking as always. My highest commendations to the Management for always making our visits to Colonel Saab memorable ones! Well done Roop, Chander & your staff! 👍👍👍 My more than 10 visits and will definitely be back for more!

The service was terrible. The waiters were rude when I questioned their bar policies on 2 for 1 drinks. We left before we had food but the service especially from the manager was poor for a restaurant which is pretty expensive.

The restaurant has great ambiance and gets super busy. Service was good and the waiter was friendly and unobtrusive. I appreciate that this is in central London but the prices were high. The quality and inventiveness of food is really excellent but we were still surprised at the prices. For example, the prawn chimichurri as a starter is £30. You get three small prawns. It was absolutely delicious though. I would still recommend the place but be aware you’re going to have to spend big bucks.

Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in London. It checks all the boxes be it the ambience, the food, the aesthetics, the service and location - everything was top notch. It may sound exaggerating but one must dine to believe. The experience was wholesome and fulfilling. Specific service mention - Mr. Anshul who’s a great host and showed us around the place. Special Dessert mention - Rasmalai Cake. Loved it!

Nous avons apprécié les plats copieux et très bons services rapide et efficace L’agneau était excellent et le bœuf aussi À conseiller

We were in London for a week and thrilled to discover Colonel Saab for a nice dinner out. Service was outstanding, the ambiance and atmosphere were warm and welcoming, and the food and cocktails were superb.

What makes a great culinary experience is that you can randomly pick any items from the menu, and it's a 5 on 5. Colonal Saab didn't just aced every single dish that we ordered, but it always managed to surprise us with something unique in almost every classical Indian dish Service was truly exceptional with being always attentive, explaining the history of food and restaurants, and never even a slight bit of intrusion Must try - Banarasi cocktail, Amritsary Kulcha and Biryani. My most special mention to man weaving magic behind the bar - Amaya and ever smiling Ayush. You both made it a 6* experience P.s. you have a customer for life. Every time I am in London, I will come

Hervorragendes Essen und ausserordentlich freundlicher, zuvorkommender Service. Wir kehren sicher zu Colonel Saab zurück. Thank you!

Rich and tasty Indian food at Colonel Saab. The most amazing veggie dishes are the Paneer, samosa and chole, grilled broccoli. The mango lassi and masala chai were average. The ambience and the service is great

Stumbled across this place and were very pleased to get a table in such lovely surroundings. The staff are friendly and efficient. There are lots of Indian artefacts & family history on the walls, beautiful chandeliers & pictures. Nice menu, food was well presented, spicy yet delicious. Good atmosphere, the clientele seemed like they knew their curries. There’s a private dining area at the back which looked fun and family friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Booked a table for two at the new venue in Covent Garden for my boyfriend’s birthday over two weeks ago for tonight, using the January 25% discount offer code as promoted on @Softlaunchlondon. We were really looking forward to going and got all dressed up for the occasion in our best gear. Sadly, the fun ended after we were seated. We asked for a nice table with a view when we booked and got instead seated at the back of a nearly empty restaurant in between the only other tables with guests. After ordering and waiting for our drinks (they bring the drinks menu out separately first) the waitress put down my boyfriend’s pint and then poured my entire pint of beer all over me and the table (accidentally) but it literally ruined my nicest nearly new Ted baker blouse, my R.M.Williams leather purse and my iPhone. I don’t have many nice things as I’ve just left uni and work in retail. My boyfriend also ended up with beer on his work RMs which I’m worried will be stained permanently. We understood it was an accident but after moving tables, they just handed back the same now sodden menus to us to take the food orders. We ordered and they mentioned the offer we booked with but said we now have to order minimum 2 courses each! Nowhere does it state this on the soft launch site or my Open Table booking (I checked). Because they wouldn’t honour it, we didn’t place our food order and as the birthday occasion was pretty much ruined from then on out, as we both stunk of beer and I hadn’t had my drink replaced yet, we sadly decided to leave. ☹️ Sadly after this awful experience I can’t say I’ll be back.

Lavishly decorated upscale Indian restaurant on a busy street near Covent Garden. It is quite a large place with two floors and multiple dining rooms. Definitely different from your standard Indian restaurants and higher-end, though that reflects in higher prices (and smaller portion sizes) as well. All dishes were excellent, and the service was flawless, if not too attentive at times.

We came here for my birthday for luxury afternoon tea and it was amazing! The savory food of samosas and addictive mint and corriander chutney as well as savory sandwiches 10/10. Lovely touch as well to add an extra birthday cake which we didn’t even request and I really appreciated how amazing and kind the service was

Lovely service. Pradnya was amazing. Great food and great surroundings. We would definitely come back

The food was average and expensive. The portion size of the chilli Mogo was a disgrace. Portion sizes are small for the amount they cost, I asked to speak to a manager but it’s obvious my grievance was not important enough for one to come...

Great new-years eve celebration. Excellent service from Ronny, skubkam, aayush! Recommended as dinner!

Disappointing food and to be frank expected a lot better Had to ask for serving spoons and menus on repeated occasions and then had to chase our drinks order twice Portion sizes of some starters very small and overall the food lacked a wow factor...

We reviewed the restaurants in Trafalgar square and decided to try Colonel Saab. We was not disappointed. The food was fast and freshly prepared, the service was super fabulous, The flavors met our expectations and beyond, We are well placed to comment on Indian food...

Delicious food. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. We have been here several times throughout the years and it is consistently good.

We dined in Colonel Saab as four couples and had a toddler with us. The ambiance, service and food was amazing. Anushka's great hospitality and always smiling face made our evening even more pleasant. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a magical Indian experience...

If food is a love story this place is it Fantastic food , friendly staff and authentic service Exceptional all over the tops in a beautiful stunning restaurant created by a husband and wife team .

Had a lovely time at Colonel Saab. Special shoutout to Niharika our waitress who was really welcoming and gave great recommendations. The chicken tikka, aloo tikka chaat were particular highlights. My only feedback was the paneer Pakeezah had a bit too much elaichi for my...

Amazing lucky find! We happened to be in the area and fancied a curry, we googled what was nearby and numerous restaurants came up. We decided to give Colonel Saab a go, so glad we did it was delicious. From entering the restaurant, the friendly...

Rajat was so lovely and helpful, recommended a perfect drink and dinner. I asked for my curry to be hot and he made sure the kitchen got my request. Dinner was perfect! Location is great and the interior is beautiful

Been eating curry in London for many many years and this was exceptional! Furthermore the service (from Anishka) was charming and efficient! Don’t bother going anywhere else just come here!

I eat a lot of curry’s …. This was one of the best I’ve had in 40 plus years in London. Very high class venue, lovely staff and a special mention for our waitress Anushka, she was brilliant

Great food, slow service, charming setting. They charged us £5 for <1L table water and a refill. If you want tap, then it seems you have to specify it since it was not offered. The beet root Fahari Curry Kofta was a standout.

The food was really bad because the naan was dry I mean the dough from which naan was made from was dry and had no butter so we asked for another one but still wasn’t that good and it was our anniversary they just gave...

We stumbled upon this place as we needed to grab a very quick snack before a show at a nearby theatre. We walked in and asked the manager if they could serve us super quickly as we needed to walk out within 30minutes. From him, to the waitress who served us (Candacy) to all the rest of the staff, they made sure we had ordered, were served and had paid fast enough for us to be out in 25minutes. It was incredible how awesome they all were, especially Candacy who helped us order a couple of snacks, advised us and served us perfectly. The food was also nicely prepared (we only ordered a couple of snacks and teas) - and the ambience is wonderfully regal. After this super fast but great experience, I know we will be returning for a proper meal to this restaurant.
