Kricket Soho in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The dining room is downstairs & the service impeccable. Truly outstanding Indian food with a twist. I highly recommend it. We were 3 adults & ordered 7 dishes to share.

This was our first visit to Kricket (Soho) for my husband's birthday. We could only sit at the bar as tables are reserved for bigger groups. The menu is limited but we chose a few small plates. Each dish was great. We are vegetarian and eat fish occasionally. There were only 2 choices for mains, fish or beef. So we chose the fish. This was excellent. We also tried both desserts on the menu. The service was good and there was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. However I would only go back if there more choice for vegetarians.

Perfect. Perfect. And perfect. The food is the best. Rik and Will, owner and friend, good talk. Me, no meat or garlic. My friend GF. We had the best meal.

We sat at the bar. The atmosphere was lively and fun and new, the drinks were outstanding and the service exception. The food was unique and delicious. The mango dessert on the cookie was the house special and it was fabulous

I had travelled from Scotland to visit this restaurant and I was honestly so excited. Well what can I even say. The steak was cold which was a huge shame. The fish was delicious. They replaced the steak free of charge but at that point we just wanted to go home. We went home to listen to music on YouTube. All in all a disappointing evening. “I don’t like Kricket, oh no, and I don’t love it”. 4.5 out of 10. Do better.

Came here last night. I don't understand why this restaurant is so highly rated. The food is awful and the place is noisy, basic and chaotic. We received at least three things we didn't order and we were missing a couple of dishes that we did. I felt we were encouraged to over-order, so I did try quite a few things on their very limited menu.staff were nice but clearly harassed by the sheer number of customers and extreme tightness of space at the communal banquettes downstairs. Snacks: Mirchi vada - the best thing on the menu. Light and spicy. Gave me misplaced hope Butter chicken kofta - also good, the snacks were the only good things on the menu. Small plates Samphire pakoras- tasteless. Avoid Chana masala- chick peas with hummus. Really weird. Did not work Lamb ribs - basically lamb fat, disgusting Larger Mutton curry- ok but very ordinary and bland Smoked pork belly - inedible as way too salty Dahl- utterly tasteless Sides Naan - ok but they initially have us some bread with green sludge all over it. Don't know what is was but it was soggy and horrible Meera pulao - ok Broccoli - possibly the worst thing we ate, but it's hard to choose. It was absolutely drowned in a 'walnut chutney' which was like an overpowering blue cheese sauce. Completely inedible Desserts Bhappa doi- a mishmash of all kinds of things which did not go together and tasted revolting Mango and lime kulfi- not frozen. Much too sweet. Obviously I am not returning. Definitely does not merit the high prices.

Wonderful curry, the fried chicken was super, we tried many different plates and tandoori. good beer, special the cocktails

Good Indian Food. Limited menu and limited space, with a must for bookings. Shared tables and space is tight. The menu is basic and some dishes done extremely well. Would have been nice to see more varied main courses and more options for vegetarian customers. Overall a nice place with relatively authentic food.

One of my most memorable dinners ever!! The food was ample and super tasty, service incredible and atmosphere is buzzing with life. Get a seat at the bar if you can and definitely make a reservation as it’s full even on a weekday. Definitely highly recommend this restaurant!! I can’t praise it enough!! We lived in South East Asia for many years and the Indian cuisine is very very good there AND, Kricket’s food is on par with a proper Indian one. That says a lot. Well done Kricket!! Please keep up the fantastic work!!

What a fantastic place. Unbelievably great food and reasonably priced. Great staff who were very helpful and gave great advice re dishes. Brilliant atmosphere and best meal we had in London. No idea why anyone would rate here poor or terrible! A must!

Friendly, efficient service. Lovely environment. Nice to sit at bar; easy to chat to friends; great to see all the action in the kitchen; delicious, interesting food.

The food was good with the portion sizes ample. However we found that the cocktails wer far too small and consequently we would be unable to say that it was good value for money. The average per person came out at GBP 52. Good professional service delivery.

We are our way round London for the past few days. All very good but Kricket was the highlight. Every dish was super tasty. If you are going choose the samphire pakoras to nibble on whilst deciding what else you fancy. We asked to sit at the bar seating. As we have done now for about of our couples dining. You get the chance to see what the staff are doing, speaking to them about the dishes etc. the staff at Kricket were more than happy to chat with us & even said we’d missed a great dish off our choices and made up a mini one to try. We were so full when we left so could not fit another morsel in. We will return to try some other dishes. Thanks to all the staff for the amazing food and service.

Truly one of the most memorable meals in my life. I never expected the flavors, the range, and the depth of this food. My friends and I shared eight small plates. Each was a delight. We had aubergine with lots of coriander, but not too much, nan with crispy chicken skin, lamb sausage, fried chicken, pork, and a cuddlefish dish, all which were amazing ( we had some rice and dahl). Then the check. Even it was amazing. In New York we would have poad at least double. Don't miss this place.

We were a group of 6 eating the tasting menu, very disappointed at the amount of food. We had one cod portion for 6 people. How do you divide one small piece by 6? I asked if that was the all & they asked if we wanted to order another portion. In my opinion 4 people would have received the same amount of food as we did for 6 people. The Tasting menu was £ 48 per person. Not good value. Will not be returning.

We happened to walk past the restaurant and decided to give it a go. Sat at the bar to the kitchen, order wasn't taken as expected, the sauce for the pakora is over powering. The wrong nan arrived... the lamb was good. Expensive for what it is, the menu is limited, they are trying to emulate dishoom and let themselves down. There is not a distinction Ok to try but not one on the list to go back to

Fantastic evening had here. Staff, food and drinks all excellent. We popped in at a very busy Christmas time and staff were so kind to find a space for us. Really caring and attentive staff who along with food and drinks made a perfect few hours to catch up with friends at the bar area… will defo be back soon Thanks again

Though we booked for an early dinner at 5pm it still had plenty of customers. Service was brilliant. Our first time here on a recommendation. It didn't disappoint. Food was more than good, it was an experience of beautiful presentation & fantastic flavour. Can't wait to go back. Staff were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable & efficient.

Kriket Soho provides a menu bursting with flavours. Was fortunate to be there when they had their baby aubergines on the menu, which are mind blowing. Lucky enough to get a seat at the high table so you can watch the chefs in action. Highly recommend

Wir haben ohne Reservierung und ohne viel Umstände einen Platz bekommen und das verfeinerte indische Essen sehr genossen. Jedes Gericht schmeckte unterschiedlich und jedes interessant! Das Service war unaufgeregt, effizient und superfreundlich. Auch die Atmosphäre im REsteraunt war freundlich und anregend.

Excellent food and great service. The food was very tasty, the place has a character. Everything came out fairly quickly with no unnecessary waits. It’s also fun to sit at the counter and see the food being prepared.

Every foods picture generally looks good! Very disappointed, if you need to put of weight by eating something not particularly good and horribly sugary them that is the place!! I could feels the sugar granules under my teeth ! The food is greasy, sugary, covered my unhealthy sauces, verdict horrible ! But the staff are very friendly and very nice, that all.

My partner and I went here for lunch and found this restaurant a pleasure to dine in: we were seated in a place to see all the food being prepared, and we took specific joy in watching the bread get made, the food came out quickly and the portions were perfect, we enjoyed dishes we had never eaten before, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Not great. Had high expectations and food was a disappointment. Dishes are unique for sure, but just average tasting. Bone marrow had no flavor, other dishes had too much sauce, naan was better in description than in flavor. Service and atmosphere are great, but food just didn’t deliver.

Fabulous food in a trendy communal setting. We chose a number of dishes to share amongst our group of four and each one was tasty. Look forward to returning at some point in the future.

This restaurant is an absolute “must” on your trip to London! We sat downstairs at the communal tables (and not at the bar top or stand alone tables) and loved it. Marie was our server and guided us through the menu and what to order....

We were looking for a late night dinner spot when we walked by Kricket. It's a smaller venue, with diner bar seating and a few booths. The kitchen is behind the bar so you can see everything being prepared. They offer smaller plates to be...

Arriving at Kricket we were warmly greeted by Harriet who showed us to our table, ordered drinks which arrived quickly, perusing the menu was tricky as so many delicious sounding dishes so we opted for A taste of Kricket for the four of us to...

Lovely little restaurant. Interesting Indian Tapas style food, never been anywhere like it. Keralan fried chicken is to die for! Fab service, especially from Karina who pulled out all the stops to make sure our booking met our requirements for my husband's birthday.Great location for...

Good for lunch. Very causal. Fusion Indian food. Sauces seem to be premade and added to main component of the dish. Eg fish sautéed separately and then added to a warmed up sauce. Butternut grilled and added to a premade sauce. Sat at the counter...

Came here for lunch today, and it was fantastic. Mostly wanted to try their Keralan Fried Chicken. But i had a Garlic and Coriander Kulcha, and Gunpowder Tenderstem Broccoli also. The Broccoli was to die for, not spicy, but well spiced. Some other reviewers had...

Couldn’t have asked for a meal for my 21st. Chef Bhavin was phenomenal at explaining and recommending the menu

Everything is delicious. You will not be disappointed we. Casual atmosphere. Great drinks, delicious food. Try everything.

Not traditional Indian cuisine. Very surprised of the presentation and tastes of the dishes. Reasonable price with excellent food.

This is a good casual spot for small plates of Indian food that's a bit different: there's no chicken tikka masala here. Everything we had was delicious, the prices were reasonable and the service fairly efficient. We were advised to order 5 or 6 plates...

My friend booked this for a reunion. Eight of us came and were seated at a rustic table downstairs. Very close to Piccadilly Circus, easy to find. As it was a first for all of us we decided on the set menu 'A Taste of...

Some of the dishes are excellent and very different to the normal Indian restaurant faire. Has a nice vibe and pricing is reasonable for a west end restaurant.

Having researched a bit beforehand for somewhere nice to eat, I hadn’t booked so was pleased that they could fit us in when turning up on spec. We were seated at the bar overlooking the kitchen and were next to the pass so could watch...

Great ambiance but disappointing food. The fried chicken was just fried chicken - like KFC but not as good. The other dishes we had were mediocre as well. Unfortunately would not recommend in spite of the Michelin recommendation. Can only assume that they are not...

Excellent restaurant - superb food . Friendly and informative staff . This was our second visit within a month - love it 😍

This was our first time at Kricket and we had such a wonderful! Our waitress for the evening was Robyn and can I say how lovely she was ! She gave us such amazing recommendations. Greg & Sarah

This is not your usual Indian restaurant, either in terms of decor or menu. It's fun to go outside the traditional, even if it's difficult with menus that show things you can't do. But with a little help and cooperation in the gang, it turned...

Absolutely delicious food. Great way to eat Indian! Lovely & helpful staff. Nice vibe/atmosphere. Reasonable prices.

Absolutely fabulous food and drink! What a perfect selection of options and is ideal for sharing in a group! Staff very helpful and friendly too!

We had a variety of dishes to share - but the show stoppers were the chicken, the mango starter, the chocolate desert & the Free Star beer.

Fantastic Indian inspired food, not a bad dish on the menu (and we had most of them). Chef Bhavin in particular was great - excellent Kerala chicken, fried samphire and Goan sausage croquettes. Well done!

Great atmosphere and even better food. The dishes are unique and beautifully put together, and it’s great to see them being made in the open kitchen. Staff are friendly and very attentive. We will definitely be returning here - an absolute gem of a restaurant!

Fantastic food and service. Really loved this place. We ordered everything off the vegetarian menu, and a fish dish, it was all delicious. Wine was great and the staff were lovely. Decor is great too. We’ll be back.

I would give Kricket a 4.5/5 if I could but unfortunately the app doesn’t allow this. My daughter and I had a great dining experience at Kricket and were very impressed with the great flavors and the inventiveness of the food. The thing holding me...

I am a big fan of Indian food and every time I visit London I take the chance to explore some of its great Indian restaurants. Following some excellent reviews I tried Kricket Soho for the first time. Sorry to say that it’s not the...

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent service all at an excellent price. True Indian cuisine!

Excellent New Year’s Eve dinner with friends. Great variety of dishes (vegetarians well catered for, desserts were amazing too, service and friendliness was exemplary, and not too pricey for Soho. Will definitely come back.

Tried to eat at this restaurant today but the discriminatory attitude of the staff made me really want to write this review. We requested for a table for two and we’re told that we’d receive a message in 40 minutes when the table is ready....

Sat at the bar. Food was excellent. So much flavor. Every dish worked. We had good recommendations on what to order. Cannot find this type of quality food in Southern California. Have to go to London for this!

The food was quite nice and something different however, we were not seated until 8.25pm and the waitress kept telling his that the kitchen closed at 9pm! How early is that? Restaurant was full too. Nice bread and rice dishes but Tandoori small bowl was...

Loved the atmosphere (cozy and warm), the friendliness of the personnel and of course the food. The owner was very kind and helpful. I would totally recommend.

I'm surprised this is in the Michelin guide actually. I thought the food was pretty good, but priced as if it had rosettes. Which it does not. I think this is yet another restaurant in London (there are many!) where you come away having eaten...

Varied menu based on the premise of ordering small and larger plates for sharing. Whilst the food is quite heavy and often fried / in sauce, the flavours are interesting and delicious. The fried chicken was disappointing given the number of reviews recommending it, but...

Very good Indian dishes, and a lot of new experiences. Specially the Fantastic Kulcha and the fried chicken. And the cocktails and beer :)

Being born in India, I'm going to say what nobody appears to be saying. This is not Indian. I'm not afraid of innovation; a lot of Indian places do this really well. Not this one. It only really works for people who really don't understand...

Everything we had was delicious including the cocktails. Very lively and not quiet but we sat at the counter and enjoyed the scene. Highly recommended and a place we will definitely return to.

The food quality was very poor and it was neither Indian nor fusion . I think they need to improve on the menu and the stuff they serve

Fabulous for a friends catch up. Everything was delicious. I was worried the prices were a little high when we were told they were small sharing plates but the portions are actually really good. The food came in a steady flow and was all amazing....

The environment was beautiful and the service was friendly and fast. Food was delicious, creative and generous. Definitely would come again

I love Indian Food and are always on the lookout for something new, interesting, creative and tasty. This restaurant checks all those boxes. There is so much more to this cuisine than curry and this restaurant shows us that in dish after dish. Don’t be...

Excellent indian food in a modern fashion. Lovely staff that is helpful and takes time to guide you. Small dishes good for sharing. We had five different ones. All excellent but the vegetarian ones where slightly better. Definitely worth a visit!

WOW. Just wow. We ate her last month for my husbands 30th and it did not disappoint. We are both vegan and thought we'd struggle for options but my gosh it was some of, if not the, best meal we have had. We shared the...

Fabulous modern Indian restaurant. Great food, with a very fresh twist. Staff were amazing, happy to recommend. Whilst we walked in and we’re lucky enough to sit at the bar, I would recommend booking.

The flavors they manage are amazing! You can’t miss the fried chicken or any of their breads. Worth a visit and a comeback! There are also hidden gems as the runner beans that I didn’t expect being that good. I’ll be back soon for sure!

We visited Kricket earlier this month and it was absolutely fabulous! It was my husbands third visit and my first but it won’t be my last. We managed to get sat on the bar stools overlooking the chefs which was an experience in itself as...

Even though it was the hottest day on record the food was first class the waitress could not be more helpful and my friends loved the whole ambience and said they would definitely come back with their wife’s.

The food is always great especially the samphire pakoras but Sarena our waitress was particularly great. Thanks Sarena

Have been in the UK for 2 weeks now and this was definitely the best meal we have had in that time! So delicious and the staff are lovely

We had a wonderful experience. Shona was exceptionally welcoming and even ordered us a selection of the most popular dishes. She really went above and beyond for us! The dishes were excellent and very tasty, in particular the Keralan Fried Chicken. The service was great...

Superb food, great atmosphere, friendly service. Seriously, the food was amazing and the 8 of us had a fabulous evening. Thank you!

One of the best meals we had in London last week. Amazing food. we called and booked a table for 2. when we got there - we were sat at the bar. now we're both over 6 ft and large guys - we just couldn't...

Innovative tasty Indian inspired. We came here pre theatre and did not dissapoint, really nice setting too with the bar to watch eve chefs work

I don’t particularly enjoy Indian food and I didn’t find many dish options for me, but, what I had was really good. I enjoyed the butternut squash and the beef Boti Kebab, together with the Pilau rice. I’m not sure I would go back, but...

Just superb. Went as a group of six and we just got one of everything. Not a single bad dish. Do yourself a favour and go here.

Cool location in soho. Great service and food. Nice late night dining atmosphere with sharing plates. lamb and paneer were our favourites.

Excellent service and good vibe but food was disappointing. Very burnt lamb which we should have rejected. Had a better experience at their Brixton branch.

Food was nicely presented, but very average. Lacked flavour, served luke warm. Dishes came out half hour apart which was frustrating. Was looking forward to going here for a long time but disappointed.

Warm welcome. Managed to serve all courses within our limited time span and a full restaurant. Good food.

I love the restaurant so much, the food is special and unique. The staff were very kind, particularly **Marija** with her great service.

I love this restaurant so much. It has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, the food is always constantly good (the Keralan friend chicken is incredible!) + fab cocktails. Their super stylish bar next door (Soma) is also fantastic if you're waiting for a table at...

We were warmly greeted and our host gave some great recommendation on what we might order, which actually saved us some money as we would have overestimated our order without his help. The food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient, highly recommended.

Patricia Atillah Tom and the team do a fantastic job serving amazing food in a great atmosphere. Very impressed by the warm welcoming approach adopted by all of the Kricket team and can’t wait to return!

Super quality, well presented and great service. We wanted to sit at the chef’s counter, but then so does everyone else. Fortunately we got our wish and had a great chat to the staff. We just asked for enough food for the two of us...

A good place for some small dish Indian food. The chicken was very good. The squash curry and pork dish was good as well. Sit at the bar and watch the action

Booked a table for two. It wasn't clear to me online when booking that we'd be on shared bench tables. We were sat right next to the couple either side of us, totally impossible to have a private conversation, and we could hear every word...

It took us some time to be able to book this very busy place. Glad we finally made it ! Great food, creative at an affordable price - service is friendly and uncomplicated. Will definitely come back Thank you

I’m obsessed with everything about this restaurant. The food : date bread, bhel puri and buttermilk chicken are out of this world. Staff are always fantastic.

Yum. Yum. Yum. Sharing plates. Loads of seafood options. Delicious cocktails. Dreamy desserts. It's an instant fave. Will be back asap.

Kricket didn’t thrill. The menu of Indian sharing plates, is concise & creative but food was just ok, many of the dishes rather greasy. Our favourite was the samphire pakora. We had requested a table but were seated at the counter, which I don’t much...

Friday lunch with friends and loved every minute of it. Very efficient and quick service starting off with the Chilli Gin Cocktail which was so good, we had to have two. Food from the Goose tandoori to the Venison to the Trout was so full...

Despite being well reviewed, the food is highly overpriced and the ingredients are low quality. If you want a fashionable restaurant it’s good, but if you want an actual meal be sure to give it a miss. Service varied depending on server with some being...

I’ve been wanting to try Kricket for a while, and while it wasn’t bad I also wasn’t blown away. I found some of the dishes very similar in flavour and a lot of it was quite greasy too. That said, the staff were so amazing...

We came in here without a booking last Saturday night and on a whim as we had googled good places for vegan. I was surprised when we saw the menu that it has been recommended but chose to trust the Internet. We are so so...

This place is so lovely! The staff were friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious! At first I was disappointed to have to sit on tall chairs but actually they were comfortable and it was great to watch the kitchen making the dishes. Would...

A fab birthday meal. The date and pistachio bread, aubergine, and fried chicken are recommended. We had counter seats which was good fun and added to the experience. Good value too, we barely finished the recommended 4-5 dishes (two of us) and will look forward...
