Lovage in City of London, Westminster

Extremely disappointed with our experience. We sat for 20 minutes without any service, and the only interaction we had was when we had to ask for assistance. The staff was rude and unwelcoming, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. For a restaurant, basic hospitality should be a given, but it was severely lacking here. We expected a warm, enjoyable dining experience, but unfortunately, we left feeling unwelcome and let down. We ended up leaving to enjoy a nice meal elsewhere , if you go here , do not expect good service.

This was only a few blocks from our hotel. The food was excellent. It was the first time for our grandsons to try Indian food and it did not disappoint. Wonderful food and service.

Looking for somewhere to eat fell upon Lovage,food was good but nothing outstanding, service was efficient and price was fair considering the area.

I came with m'y mom from France, After visiting the Harry Potter museum we were hungry so we found the Lovage restaurant. Everything was DELICIOUS. The waiter was a gentleman, good background music and the desserts are not typical. By "not typical" I mean that there are desserts which are not in France (or at least not where we live). I'm currently tasting the coconut ice cream and I like it 😎🤙

Lovely food and super friendly staff who gave us free ice cream and Baileys. Highly recommended dining experience for couples.

Went as a walk in following the London Marathon. Very friendly and attentive staff. Main portions were quite small but sufficient for us. Ordered the Naga Chicken which was supposed to be hot, but quite disappointing really. One thing that I couldn’t understand was why was the background music Mexican for the whole time we was there? OK but I wouldn’t rush back

Le service a été rapide, nous nous sommes présentés à 19h …les plats sont bons et bien présentés, mais si vous avez l’estomac un peu sensible, attention aux épices ! Car j’avais demandé un plat très peu épicé, mais celui-ci s’est avéré malgré tout très épicé !! Le personnel est sympathique et la note correcte

What a great restaurant, the waiter was attentive and polite, and very fast. The menu was good, the prices were good for London, and best of all the food was very tasty with good portions, and the turnaround between dishes was impressive. We loved everything about the Loveage.

Went to Lovage in Pimlico, with my wife, as walk ins, staff were very friendly and very attentive, couldn’t do enough, well done Food was excellent, very tasty onion bahji and naga chicken, then as we were leaving, they gave us a bottle of wine to take back to our hotel, fantastic 👍

The staff rushed us throughout the meal, rushing us to choose our food and wanting to clear plates before we had finished eating. The waiter hovered over me while I made the card payment, asking me several times to enter the tip amount before completing the payment, even though I wasnt intending to tip them given how poor the service was! The food was mediocre and lacking in flavour.

your biriyani and tarka dall was really delicious .staff bheviour was outstanding .If i will come to London anytime i never forget to try your biriyani dish

Brunch with family and friends. Service of Breakfast on Sunday was reasonable good for the exception of trying to serve coffee from a tray that is being held over a toddler.😞👎. Vegan breakfast was 4/5 Other choice served was reasonable good. Sausages could be of better quality.

I am lucky enough to live within walking distance of this excellent restaurant and have always enjoyed the excellent food freshly prepared. The staff are great and there are a good choice of dishes. Last night my wife and I had a chicken dish, lamb dish, rice, bhindi, dal and 2 rotis. All for around £40. A lovely tasty way to finish the day

This was an a line order, for delivery, and the first time I have used the fusion kitchen app so all round new experience. I phoned the restaurant to see if they could make my speciality (and rare) dish as it was not listed on the menu. The gentleman was SO obliging and advised me to order online, he would keep an eye out for it and alter accordingly. He then checked to see if I had placed it and once I had, checked again and let me know that the delivery was on way so I could look out of the hospital reception for it. Sure enough, doorstep delivery and overall, flash to bang, in under thirty minutes. The food was very tasty, fresh and piping hot. I can in no way fault this service and so I would not hesitate in recommending to anyone around the SW1 area. Thank you team lovage!

This is not an Indian restaurant first of all they're Bangladesh people who use indian restaurant name. The guy there I asked him for water 10 minutes back when he came to take order I asked him can you please give water then he said no I am going to take order first. He didn't give us water till he finished taking orders. Food was not tasty at all just a waste of money no.flavor nothing.

Si vous aimez la cuisine indienne c’est un bon endroit l’accueil est aimable et les plats sont savoureux ! Je recommande ce restaurant indien et rapport qualité prix c’est correct !

La nourriture est bonne (du moins le plat de ma mère) et la décoration est plaisante. Cependant j’ai été très déçue par mon butter chicken car il contenait du lait de coco et ce n’était pas du tout écrit sur la carte, attention à bien préciser en cas d’allergies… Le serveur était soulé d’aider ma mère à choisir son plat et il me soutenait qu’il n’y avait pas de coco dans mon plat. De plus, les service est plutôt lent. Je ne vous recommande donc pas trop ce restaurant.

My 2nd time to this restaurant, both times the food was outstanding quality. The servers are a bit reserved and shy yet charming if you chat them up a bit. I will go here again!

Lovage was incredible! We got the preset meal for two and everything was great! The staff was helpful and friendly!

GOOD FOOD WITH GOOD MOOD , Nice behaviour, delicious food, Tasty, Lots of options for Asian food , specialy Indian food

Great food, very friendly and helpful staff and overall great experience. We asked for suggestions and all were excellent. Will return our next visit to London.

Really really good. Very kind waiter. Will come again next time we are in London. I recommend the chicken bhuna and the chicken rogan

I am from Ireland and regularly travel to London for work. I have visited Lovage almost every visit since I started travelling to the Victoria area which was last august. The food is fantastic and they have super friendly staff. The owner is very particular about welcoming me and it’s always a nice gesture to have a drink sent over

Very good staff, great food and atmosphere and reasonable prices. Great dessert too, try the bubblegum ice cream!

I have eaten at many Indian restaurants and this is disappointing. If you like it hot, and are familiar with genuine Indian food, forget going to this place. Nothing is hot The condiments that accompany the poppadoms and starters are not hot. no lime pickle,...

The food was not good and some of the dishes were just plain awful. The service was bad and the waiters didn't really want to be there. Music was too loud. If you want indian food .... do not go there!

Called in on a whim. Service from start to finish amazing. Tasty food and great hospitality could t do enough for us. Shall be back

Highly recommend tandoori options. If you love a good vindaloo this is your restaurant. You won’t be disappointed The chutneys and Raita equally tasty

My wife is Indian, so we enjoy the cuisine fairly often, and this is far from authentic. Bland/Flavorless chicken dishes, lacking any spice. We regularly make these dishes at home at a more superior level… while neither one of us claim to be able to...

We were a party of 7 and it is a good job that we booked because by 6.30pm the place was full. Very good service, very good food reasonably priced. Danny, the owner/manager was a top bloke. Recommend this restaurant to anyone but you need...

We waited more than 1 hour to be served and were served after two tables arrived after us. The service was awful but the food fine. The service needs to improve as this was a monday night. I wonder how they serve on weekends. I...

The old fashioned curry house is an increasingly rare thing, but in this gem of a restaurant a short walk from Victoria station we have the best of the old and the new. The food was of an excellent quality, the staff were polite and...

From the start of our meal, the service was poor. We were being rushed into ordering from the moment we sat down. When we did order, the server insisted on upselling us items we didn’t want or need. The beer was watery and the curry...

Excellent dining experience from start to finish. All food freshly prepared and hot. Service was 5🌟 nice cosy atmosphere. reasonably priced. would certainly go again if I'm ever in Victoria

We ordered Indian street food as starters and it was not up to the mark ( both non veg and veg starters were quite bland and far removed from actual flavours . The worst experience however was when we ordered mains - we ordered Dal...

My daughter in law and friend went to the restaurant to have some Indian sweets. They were treated very rudely and told to leave. They were told that they had to have a main. Otherwise get out. What a horrific service. If customers just want...

Great service, highly varied menu to suit all tastes, excellent food served hot and a good time had by all. Highly recommended 😀

Very good food with attentive service. Situated near Victoria station/underground. Well priced and menu is extensive.

Absolutely excellent restaurant with a good quality-cost ratio. Very friendly service. We arrived too early. The restaurant wasn’t open yet. But that was not a problem at all. So we were invited to sit down and order.

A long overdue review of a fabulous restaurant. Visited in April when staying in the Victoria area with family. A short walk from the hotel, Lovage feels like a cosy, neighbourhood Indian. We booked in advance based on Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. Delicious...

Me and my fren visited there on 13th July on our short visit to London. Our bus was on 1100 so we decided to have some Indian food and search it in google, near to Victoria Coach station we found Lovage. Went there with excitement...

Delicious and clean food, lot of variety, friendly and humble staff, will keep coming and ordering for delivery, highly recommended.

We visited the restaurant lovage and where quite disappointed. The food wasn't convincing and the whole atmosphere and service wasn't inviting. Too expensive for that.

Wonderful Indian restaurant! Great food, great service. I asked for a recommendation for a medium spice lamb dish and their recommendation was amazing. The tandoori biryani was the most amazing biryani I’ve ever had. They are also open late which is an added bonus!

The dining room is nice and comfortable with a pleasant, rather sober decor. Mouthwatering menu with almost too much choice: hard to make a selection among all the dishes offered. So we took a selection of entrees and mains and shared them all. It was...

We had chicken naga and lamb bhuna garlie nan egg rice and beer ,Excellent service,good food,beatiful environment...

Great food and atmosphere! Just what I'd expect from a first class curry house.... Very friendly staff. Great to see Rolf is still going strong.

Neat, clean room, good service, all the standards on the menu, and a few unusual dishes. Tandoori mixed platter to start was good - plenty for two to share. Curries were very average. There seemed to be a generic tomato based sauce used in most...

A group of 4 turned up to be greeted with a wait of 30 minutes for a pre booked table. When we were eventually seated it was rude and cold. Our food turned up somewhat cold and lacking flavour. We asked to receive warm food...

We booked a table for 6 people at 7pm and arrived to be told somebody else took our table without showing a booking confirmation. We showed our booking confirmation and they said "sorry somebody else took your table" and we had to leave and go...

Rapid, efficient service, well spiced and reasonable price. The veggie vindaloo was not particularly hot I but quite tasty

Really great selection of dishes and all excellent. Mixture of meat-eaters and vegetarians in our party and nobody was disappointed!

The service from start to finish was fantastic! We came here for my daughters 18th birthday whilst visiting in London,as Indian is her favourite! It didn’t disappoint! Food was lovely!!

Best Indian meal I've had in the UK! Amazing food - would recommend the lovage chicken special with a garlic naan. Great atmosphere and staff - plus a nice brandy and baileys to finish with the bill!

Just amazing from start to finish. All tasted amazing & fresh Highly recommended Will return when in Victoria again

We were meeting a friend and needed to meet near Victoria. We reserved a table for 5 well in advance. They were expecting us and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive and the portions generous. All of us thought that the food was terrific...

Have been to probably 20 curry houses in London in the 3 years I've lived here and this is the best of the lot. Highly recommend the loveage special chicken.

Excellent meal , one of the best pickle trays and lime / veg pickle - lovely Indian chicken garlic , piping hot in temperature and just right for spice - light and fluffy nann - very good place to eat

Quite honestly one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had. Everything was absolutely perfect. Fresh ingredients, lovely onions and pickles with poppadoms. Light crispy onion bhajis and the most amazing garlic chicken curry. Light fluffy naan bread. Chicken rezala was also delicious and creamy....

A decent Indian restaurant close to Victoria Station. Very clean. Staff welcoming. A wide selection on the menu. I chose lamb Bhuna, which was very acceptable. Kingfisher on draught. Complimentary cognac, which was a nice touch. Will return.

I met up with someone and in advance decided to book a table at this restaurant as it was only a 5-10 minute walk away from London Victoria station. On arrival they weren't too busy as it was still early in the evening. And after...

Really enjoyed our meal here. Can’t fault the food - vegetable, fish and meat dishes all great. Excellent service - happy to recommend.

The food was delicious and the service really great. Very nice and they even offer a drink at the end! However, the bill was more expensive than expected

Good food, nice staff and very reasonably priced, I would recommend this place and will certainly be eating here again next time I am in the area.

5 stars isn't enough for the service that was given today. Such pleasant staff and amazing food. The manager in particular went above and beyond to cater an amazing service. I cannot fault the food at all. I've never been to a restaurant where the...

We had a takeaway and had no idea what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised as the food we ordered was excellent. The butter chicken was full of flavor and worth having. We had a lot of vegetables which were all excellent. If you...

Service and food were impeccable- one party member was vegan and catered for so well by them adapting the menu. Highly recommend.

seek this place out if you are in the area and want a satisfying meal made with love and served with care

Under new management, Lovage is even better than its predecessor. Food was imaginative and very well presented and with an excellent well balanced taste. My guest (brought up on the borders fn India & Pakistan) who enjoys the best of Indian cuisine was impressed.

Great food and service. Always a good experience!! Authentic cuisine. Starters were amazing. Will be back!

First of all, they were open at 9pm on Sunday, which is not common in London. Tasty food, very helpful staff, garlic naan delicious. Salted lassi amazing.

Considering that there were only 4 other people in the restaurant at the time, the service was slow. The food was just average Main course tasted like it had been made with lots of lime pickle. I wouldn’t rush to go back.

Lovely, cosy restaurant. Friendly staff, the place is well presented and clean. Very extensive menu and the food was cooked to perfection. Thoroughly enjoyed

Either we came on an off day or the other reviewers (here and elsewhere) are just wrong. I was going to give this place 3/5 for just “meh” food but they the cheese naan arrived. The bread was way too thick and doughy. The cheese...

Not the Indian food you find everywhere, but local specialties. Everything is well presented and the friendly staff makes you feel welcomed. Next time in London, I will be here again!

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Restaurant is now open post Covid19 Lockdown. So get down there. Thanks for a great time.
