Light of India in Kensington and Chelsea

Our absolute favorite meal during our London vacation. The food was absolutely incredible and the service was exceptional. Thank you Ruhel for an outstanding experience.

Ruhel treated us stunningly and the cuisine was impeccable. :3

Milan was wonderful. He took very good care of us and the dishes were all very tasty and complex.

Awful experience. We ordered the pre-theatre set menu and the food was very disappointing and tasted bland. Staff were nice to our faces but felt like we were being watched and then overheard them talking about us complaining we hadn't finished our plates. Food was very expensive for what it is and we left feeling so disappointed in the experience. Would never go back.

The food have no taste i found better than other restaurant . Waste of money behaviour of waiter is not good we are spending money they are showing arrogant and rude behaviour . I prefrr to go other restaurant

Ik kwam helemaal gelukkig thuis na het eten. Complimenten voor de chef! De lamskoteletten waren perfect gegrild en de naan was de lekkerste die ik ooit heb gegeten. Maruf was een vriendelijke en vakkundige gastheer. Voordat ik vertrek, ga ik hier zeker nog een keer eten en ik ga mijn vrienden en familie over dit restsurant vertellen.

Good food and excellent service by Fahim ⭐️

All it was delicius! Maruk service was wonderfull

Great food and service. My second time here. And I will be back. Also my second time being served by Maruf. Such a great experience

Great food, our waiter Maruf was fantastic.

Warm welcoming place with great service done by Fahim and delicious food.

Ruhel & Fahim Veri good service!

One of the best meals we've had in a while. Lovely decor and very welcoming. Great window table and seated quickly. Onions bhaji and scallop starter delicious as were lamb and prawn mains. Pear dessert wonderful. Service was excellent and Ruhel was really helpful advising us on our menu choices as well as giving first class service. Complementary chocolates and post dinner drinks finished off a fantastic evening. Can't wait to go again and can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent service and delicious food. Great service provided by Ruhel.

The food was amazing and it’s thanks to Ruhel’s recommendation who took great care of us throughout the dinner service!

The food and service was amazing—especially Maruf! Thank you for a fantastic dining experience.

We enjoyed the cuisine immensely. The chef was especially perceptive to our dining requirements. Very tactful and intelligent service by Maruf (we asked about his name, because we wanted to mention him in person). 5/5 stars.

Excellent and varied food in superb surroundings. We should have tried the desserts as well … Thanks to Maruf for the welcoming service

What a lovely meal we had. Absolutely wonderful service, top class, and we thank Anam for waiting on us impeccably. Would highly recommend.

Great deal and excellent service!

Very good food. Nicely decorated elegant restaurant and you get served fast. Barely had to wait for my food/drinks. We were served by Maruf. He was very friendly and answered any questions we had about our food. Definitely would visit again.

Excellent food & great service by Mizan. Highly recommended

Here I had the BEST naan I've ever had and believe me I had tried plenty. Fahim really cuddled us throughout the whole dinner and helped us plenty. Definitely a beautiful place to come back to.

Excellent food and ambient. Thanks Mizan, who assisted us perfectly.

Great food and atmosphere. Best Naan we've had so far, honestly! Service was very attentive and nice, special shoutout to Fahim for taking great care of us during our dinner. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent service from Fahim 😊 wonderful food. We will repeat for sure!!!!

Nann is to die for Absolutely delicious Thank you Maruf

The food was delicious. I particularly loved the chiken mango coconut, and the naam bread was excellent. The local is calm and very clean with elegant atmosphere. The servers are really paying attention and a lot of care to the clients. A special mention to Fahim very kind and professional.

I love this restaurant! Amazing food and desserts hit the spot. Incredible service from Fahim, he was very welcoming and friendly

Amazing food and service. My go to in South Ken. Would like to highlight the incredible service of Fahim.

If you are looking for good food and a peaceful environment depending on the day (we went during a quiet period) Light Of India is worth a visit. The curry delivered. However, the biscoff cheesecake desert which you can see in the picture which is eye-filling tastes exactly the same as the one I get at my local Sainsbury’s. Made me wonder. I have bought an identical desert various time from my local Sainsbury’s. It’s 3x cheaper (excluding the sauce). Honestly they are twins, I couldn’t tell the difference. Anyway, I enjoyed it and the service was very very professional.

Ruhel made sure I was taken care of and offered recommendations on what I should try. The food was fantastic.

Had a great dining experience at light Of India! The food was delicious, but the real highlight was the outstanding service. Our waiter, Mezan, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—attentive, friendly, and truly made the meal special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Indian food with exceptional hospitality!

The food felt very fresh and authentic, our server Maruf was extremely attentive and friendly. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

I was there with my daughter. Even though we hadn't made a reservation, we got a nice table and were served very courteously by Maruf. The food was very tasty and served hot. We'll come back on our next trip.

I loved my saag paneer and naan. And the service by Maruf was great 👌🙏

Our waiters Aarush and Fahim were very nice, excellent service, very good food. We'll come back!

Excellent !!! Thanks to Ruhel for his service and kindness

Excellent restaurant! The dishes are tasty and generous! Very fragrant dishes! The staff is attentive and available, I recommend!

Thanks to Ruhel for his service, I recommend this restaurant

Very good! Perfect ! Thanks to Ruhel for his service

Enjoyed the experience today with Mizan. His service was great and food was lovely

The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the restaurant very clean. Highly recommend for lunch in the area. Our server Mizan was excellent despite covering all the restaurant alone. He made sure we had a great time. Shout-out to you Mizan for your great work.

Beautifully cooked food, with amazing service. They managed to squeeze us in on Valentine’s Day of all days with no trouble and in fact apologising for the very short wait. Could not recommend this restaurant enough.

We really liked the restaurant, the food. Wow, Maruf's attention is a 10.

The ambiance could have been more subtle and romantic since it was Valentine’s Day. But it was okay.

Delicious indian food and good service from Fahim.

The best Indian food I have ever tasted

Had a really delicous meal and a great waiter jn Maruf

Great food, very quick and pleasant service from our server, Mizan, and over all a very Nice experience

Fahim was an excellent server who accommodated me on my business trip. Excellent food and drinks, and was even given a bonus samosa when mine fell. Wonderful restaurant

Great food and perfect service. Thank you Maruk

The food was really good, the butter chicken is a little on the sweet side but very delicious that way, tandoor was done well. Gulab jamun was phenomenal the rose notes really stood out and the baileys mint cocktail was fabulous. Our server Maruf was polite, kind and attentive and made sure our experience was good. I’m picky with Indian food especially when I’m travelling and they lived up to it— the top notch service was a great bonus!

Thanks Fahim for such a lovely meal. Exceptional service and great atmosphere.

Ruhel our server was really nice! Food may be on the pricey side, especially for students but its worth it!! I came from Asia and was really missing the authentic Indian food from home and this did not disappoint at all. Maybe they can do with more spice but I also understand that the people here may not be able to handle the spice

It was my first time here and our server Ruhel was welcoming and suggested us good dishes. Definitely will come back again!

The service is really bad, and servers are rude and arrogant.

Our service from Maruf was ecxellent! He’s very friendly!!! Food was delicious!! See you soon

Everything was really nice but the display of the food when served could be slightly better. The amount of food on the starters was small.

Fahim offered us great service and the food was amazing!

It was so wonderful to visit the restaurant after almost 20 years. This place holds a special place for our family & with memories of our dad is no longer with us. Our server Fahim gave excellent service and was so attentive & personable. He gave amazing suggestions on what to try. The food was delicious with fairly big portion sizes and we ended up talking some food home. It was very quiet at the restaurant, when we came for late lunch so the ambient was very relaxing.

Ruhel was very good at providing the waiting service to us. He provided great customer service, was very professional, and friendly. He is also very knowledgeable at food recommendations.

I enjoyed my first meal in London. Both food and service were satisfactory. I was especially grateful to Ruhel, who was in charge, for taking good care of me.

Fahim was the sweetest waiter!!

Very tasty food and cozy atmosphere. Courteous service, very polite and attentive. Many thanks also to our waitress, Mizan, for the lovely evening.

Warm ambiance, delicious food, and our server Mizan was attentive and friendly —excellent service!

Fahim is very kind and loves squid game. The food was really delicious haha. It was delicious, especially the curry. I heard that Indian food is delicious in England, and it's true. Hahaha I'm enjoying my last dinner in London haha

If you love Indian Food must visit place as an Indian. “I recently dined at Light Of India and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes, blending bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured that our meal was a memorable one, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction.

if u r an indian, dont go here the food aint good and its expensive

Lamb curry had a nice flavor but some bits were a bit chewy and overcooked Tasty naan, nice service and pleasant atmosphere I recommend you to visit and I will definitely return in the future

A beautiful restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed! Fahim, our server, made sure that we liked our meal and was very attentive. The friends I was with don’t particularly like Indian food, but they left saying they really enjoyed their dishes and would go back! The samosas are delicious, the butter chicken was divine and the tandoori was so flavorful. Highly recommend!

Delightful, Fahim was a great host

Absolutely love Light of India. The food is always delicious and they make you feel incredibly special. Each time, we have had a wonderful experience, and we make sure to dine there when we get to visit London. Our server, Rohel (Ruhel), was patient with our questions, professional, and created a fine dining experience for us. Thank you, Light of India, for creating a romantic ambience and serving delectable food! We look forward to our next visit!

We love Indian food & this restaurant is one of the best we've been too! Beautiful decor & ambience. Service from all staff was excellent.....especially Hamed & Ruhel! We will definitely eat here again on our next visit to London!! Carla & Brian Sydney, Australia

Mizan he's very sympathique and the disses are very good

Fine Indian food in the heart of Kensington. Service was second to none, Ruhel was very attentive, drinks were topped and never left wanting. The menu is quite pricey, though comes with the location and service. Would eat here again if in Kensington.

Very good food. Service was very good too. We had a Tikka massala it was delicious. The decor is a little bit outdated but the food was very good

Fahim was really nice and accommodating for our lack of spice tolerance! He went in depth through the menu and recommended great dishes.

Highly recommended. The food was spectacular and the service was impeccable, Fahim treated us very kindly. A quiet and pleasant atmosphere, it is very close to the museum.

Complete scam restaurant. Food is lovely, but it is ruined by sneaky tricks they pull at the end. Bring over a hand-written bill with a service charge included but not even annotated on the bill so you have no idea how much they have added on. Unless you add up all the items you would have no idea. On top of this, they then offer the option of paying a tip (on top of the service charge) when they pass you the card machine in an attempt to trick you into paying a double tip. Sours the mood as they try to deceive you. I also suspect many of these reviews are not wholly factual given the frequent references to waiters. AVOID AT AL COSTS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SCAMMED!!

Great service and atmosphere - our server Ruhel was super sweet and attentive! Definitely worth a trip.

Dinner was great! I was the first in for dinner and it was so nice. Ruhel was amazing and took great care of me. the My Lychee and Rose Martini was soo good. Veggie Samosas were delicious! The butter chicken was also very very good. Will definitely be back. Great service, great food and great atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the service was very hospitable, especially Ruhel.

Best indian restaurant we had in London in 4 independent visits ! Absolut recommendation ! The food was incredibly tastefully cooked and Anam, our waiter, was as pleasant, friendly and attentive one can possibly be ! We will come again !!

Scarce and expensive food. By asking for little, we got the impression that they didn't like it. We had to correct the bill and they include the tip (the one they want)

Great place for a late lunch with kids and friends. Very nice food.Very friendly staff.A great thanks to Mitan for taking care si wonderfully of us

Amazing tasty Indian food. More expensive, but it worths every penny. Close to the underground station. Great waiter Maruf.

Great food and ambience!!! Maruf was an incredible waiter!!

In search of a cozy but beautiful meal we came across this gem. The monk fish curry was delicious and my hibiscus cocktail was beautiful and well balanced. Our server Ruhel made our meal a great experience and received many compliments from us before it was known to him. Also, he smells fantastic. We left comfortably full and more than pleased. We would also recommend the salad with mango and avocado!

Suburb service and excellent food!!!! Rigel was a really great server!!!

Awesome restaurant! Such great food and nice environment. Maruf was a great server!

Good service, and the atmosphere is pretty nice. A little little bit overpriced, but the food was very tasty.

Nice Restaurant with delicious food. The service (Maruf) was perfect.

Excellent Service, our server Ruhel was fantastic.

Ruhel’s service was second to none. He had wonderful recommendations for my wife who is a vegetarian. Food, atmosphere, and service were superb!

The restaurant is very good, it’s delicious, Ruhel is extremely helpful and attentive. It's very warm.

We had great 2024 December 31st night dinner. It was perfect. We felt like we are in Delhi. Very authentic every Indian food lover should try this place. Our host Maruf was fantastic.

Thanks for the good time with the delicious food 😋 And the friendly stuff and specialty Mr Fahim

The Mixed Grill and the Chicken Tikka Masala was great! But the the star of the show, was the Naan and our server, Maruf! He’s very attentive and gave us extra extra chocolates and this nut snack from Pakistan. They’re very good!

A very nice restaurant with festive atmosphere. The dishes were very tasty. The waiter Maruf was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place.
