Madhu's of Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

Average given the price. Nothing particularly bad, but given the price the food quality was about average and nothing really stood out as wow, as you would hope for somewhere charging £50/head. On the face of it the decor looks ornate and impressive, but actually when you looked closer the wood panelling looked tired, and in places may have had black mould on the edges of the mouldings. The atmosphere was also somehow cold and lacking warmth and class — it is possible this was due to a poor choice of lighting, mostly overhead and cold in temperature, and not enough side lighting and of a warmer colour temperature. It was also actually cold! It is not clear why the air conditioning would be on and set to such a low temperature in October. It was too cold for my 74 year old mother, but eventually they did provide a small space heater, which greatly improved things. The staff were friendly and helpful — i.e. with the space heater —and the manager honoured the price I was quoted online, which disagreed with the price in the menu in the restaurant.

the food here is awesome and mirrors the surroundings! the whole experience is fantastic from start to finish and the staff are really attentive.

What a wonderfully beautiful experience an Indian Afternoon Tea . The setting is warm opulent sophistication. Food : fusion of English and Indian pastry, sandwiches, cakes , multiple types of tea of which are unlimited. Staff caring considerate polite with Neha a super star great asset to the company.

The tea part was fabulous and we tried 6 different types the pistachio was our favourite. The food was not Indian themed and only the tiny samosa and tiny Bombay sandwich really gave you a tiny hint of any Indian flavour. We eat bhajia, Dhokra, Andvo small bites, this was Indian in the smallest way. The service was fabulous with all staff bring very attentive, helpful and polite and with there only being 5 tables occupied for the 2 hours we were there we wondered why they tried to put us in the corner by a shelf full of home sense decor and the champagne bucket!! We asked to be moved and they kindly set the middle table. The decor was not Indian themed and although we enjoyed our own company, the ambience, music, decor and theme can all be improved.

Pre theatre menu was good Food taste was good, Had to ask for poppadoms after the main course arrived. Plus it came as a sharing box for the table rather than individual as per person. Disappointing. Asked if we can swap dishes out between menus as all pre theatre menus were same price. We were told no then told yes, the waiter didn’t seem clear. The dessert came without the mango sorbet. When asked about it, we were told it was the cake or the sorbet. On the menu it’s both. You get both together. So had dry cake on its own. Paid a certain price but didn’t get what we paid for. Disappointing. However, the service was top notch. Attentive and felt like we were right back in india in the Taj hotel, Shame about how the poppodums and dessert arrived. You should get what you pay for. Also service charge is added to bill. It should be discretionary. Felt like it was mandatory to pay. Would we go back. Yes. But as per menu items the customer should receive. You pay enough for it!

Made a last minute booking at Madhu’s Mayfair for 8. The food was absolutely amazing and so was the service. As opposed to the previous review we had a lady in our group who was gluten intolerant and she was well catered for. Well done Madhu’s. Keep it up!

I had high hopes for Madhu's of Mayfair, especially after being assured multiple times by the manager that they could cater to a gluten-free diet for coeliacs. I even called ahead several times to confirm. Unfortunately, this turned out to be far from true. In reality, they did not cater properly to my dietary needs, and as a result, I got very sick. It was incredibly disappointing and a real shame to have spent so much money for such a terrible outcome. I cannot recommend this restaurant for anyone with strict dietary requirements.

Excellent friendly , efficient service from Jasleen and the team, such a lovely time spent having ‘afternoon tea’ , the vegan and vegetarian options that we chose were delicious,a wonderful experience, thankyou all .

This is my third time dining at Madhus and as before, it was a fantastic experience. If you have not dined at Madhus before then you should book a table as you will not be disappointed. The surroundings are opulent and the atmosphere is lively but refined with a range of comfortable tables. Ankit the manger looked after me and couldn’t do enough to make sure that my experience was perfect. All pleasantries and etiquette were observed and I was given some great recommendations for my meal. I enjoyed the Murgh Tikka for starters and then the Boozi Bafu which are lamb chops on the bone cooked in onions and spices. A special mention for Alex the bar manager who made me some lovely cocktails with attention and detail and was so polite and charming and generally couldn’t do enough for me.

Five of us went for afternoon tea for my sister-in-law 60th the food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. The staff did not hover over us. We were not rushed and after the afternoon tea we sat in the lounge and ordered a bottle of Prosecco and once again we were not rushed. Absolutely beautiful decor and ambience. Neha could not do enough for us by taking all our photos that we wanted. Which were a lot 😂 I would highly recommend this place and will definitely go there again.

We had our big family dinner at Madhu’s Mayfair under the Dilly hotel. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were very impressed with the venue which was very spacious and elegantly decorated . We were served great cocktail drinks while waiting our starters. Our waiter was very helpful in guiding us to make the right choices from the menu. While we had a big table almost everybody was very satisfied with the food including the children. I strongly recommend this venue for special occasions particularly if you enjoy spacious historical settings.

Visited for high chai on Christmas Eve, service was extremely slow. We were moved three times and still expected to vacate our table in 90 minutes. Food arrived with less than an hour to consume and scones served 10 mins before we had to leave. Scones were crumbly and you get just one each. Preserves are not anything special, looks decanted from a jar. Good was tasty but very spicy in some instances, that being said we requested water which took at least 20 mins to arrive. Service is very slow but wait staff are polite. I emailed my experience to the restaurant directly and have not had a reply back since. It’s a shame to call it a 90 min experience when food takes that long to arrive. Feel like I paid for a tea we could not enjoy.

Amazing setting, attentive staff and great food but unfortunately it didn’t arrive at the same time, each of our starters came out about five minutes after the other. Main course was a bit more coherent but my youngest’s meal finally appeared when the rest of us had nearly finished

One of the best Indians around, the service, food and attention to detail was second to none. The ambiance was lovely all night topped off by the manager Jospeh giving us a a great send off.

A year ago on our annual Christmas trip to London we found Madhu’s by accident. We stayed at the excellent Dilly and the bar and ballroom was occupied by the Madhu family; thank god they’re still there as we booked a table for the lady...

Put simply - great atmosphere, great hosts and great food. We attended on a Saturday, service was prompt and food was to die for.

Had dinner with 5 friends last night in Madhu’s and wow - what a fantastic evening! Joseph and his team made us feel so welcome, the food was absolutely divine and the service exemplary. We also enjoyed a few cocktails from the menu which were...

Went for afternoon tea. Service was very slow, had to wait over 30 minutes since we were seated before anything drinks or food came. Staff are not really attentive and no-one came to check if we needed anything or if the food was okay. When...

We booked pre-theatre for 5.00pm intending to have the pre theatre thali menu on the website at £35 ph. We were offered a Xmas menu at £70 ph....not what we wanted for a pre theatre visit, so we went a la carte. Firstly, the venue...

The restaurant for afternoon tea doesn't cater to people who have both GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN food requirements. The indian guy in restaurant was a jerk in saying they only have VEGAN OR GF, but not a combination. I'm not booking here based on his...

Very attentive staff who are genuinely happy to serve and delight. Anticipated my daughter’s birthday. Excellent food served beautifully at the right temperature at competitive prices.

This was my first time at this lovely location. The bar and restaurant setting is very beautiful but also not too over the top, as decor goes. I had only come in to grab a quick bite and drink, while waiting for my partner. But...

High tea at Madhu’s of Mayfair was an incredible experience for me and my friend. Completely deserves a 5 star from us. Our host was lovely Sajjan who was very polite , friendly and attentive. He took his time to explain everything about the menu...

Lovely ambience, food and service. A special thank you to Sachin who was very attentive and went over and beyond for one of my special requests. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Tasty afternoon tea with great service - a wonderful take on the traditional afternoon tea with an Indian inspired twist. A wonderful range of teas complement (including the worlds first sparkling tea with a smoke bubble on top) the tasty range of savoury and sweet...

My family and I had a great time. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. “Thank you Vikas and waiter Sachin for the amazing service”.

All the staffs were extremely helpful, especially, Sumi who cleared our doubts regarding the different dishes and helped us select from the menu. Well done Team👏👏 The restaurant comes with cozy and beautiful ambience!!

Fabulous restaurant, staff are really polite and friendly, food is fantastic.... Highly recommend eating here

Attended a friend wedding today. The catering was provided by Madhu of Mayfair and everything was absolutely delicious! Such a range of flavours and everything was really fresh and beautifully presented. The team serving couldn’t have been more pleasant and professional. Thoroughly recommend.

Stunning restaurant with high ceilings and a beautiful ambiance. Visited for the first time with 2 friends last week (not sure what took me so long!) and was super impressed with all of the dishes especially the chili prawns and chili chicken… the sauce on...

We booked a table at Madhu’s to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we could not have had a more pleasant evening! From the food to service and exceptional decor we could not fault anything! Moreover, the staff were lovely especially Sumi and Sachin who...

Amazing food, atmosphere and service! Our waiter Darshan was incredible and so helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would 100% come back again and recommend to everyone!

I was meeting 2 friends with their families who are originally from India, who now live in the US. They are all very well travelled but when they entered Madhu's of Mayfair, they were blown away by the grandeur of the place. Then the food...

The food was just amazing and the service was outstanding . Definitely recommend the chilli chicken but all our food was outstanding . Full of so much flavour . The cocktails and pudding was amazing . Please go and enjoy .

*This is a copy of the review I sent to the restaurant themselves. The ambience and restaurant was nice, and the initial service good also, for that I give them a star. Unfortunately, we were served tasteless food. This should have instantly been taken away,...

Specially our waitter Sachin Rochan is a real professionel. He is very polite, kind and gives right food advises to us. Serving is perfect, foods are so delicious.

Excellent food👍Our waiter Rezin was very attentive😀 The Daal is delicious and highly recconmended.

Hmmm, looked so good when I booked but food was nothing special for the prices charged - all lovely but pretty standard Indian fayre I felt.

This restaurant is located inside the Dilly Hotel. I never tried indian food before so first time I tried and I loved it. The service and the food is just amazing. Only disappointing part was the music that played while we were dining but the...

Delicious food, very good and quick service , will come again and again special thanks to Mr. sajjal, Mr. Darshan and Mr.Ajim

Service was excellent Specially thanks to Mr. Sajal, Razim and Arbas who made our night amazing ...

We came across Madhu and it was a real treat. The food (the shared non vegetarian plate) was delicious, our server Sabbir was extraordinary, and the manager Arbaaz made a special effort to assure we were well taken care of!

Had dinner here as was staying at The Dilly. Despite it being a Saturday night and them being fully booked they managed to sort us a table in the bar area so we could eat. Very accommodating . The food was delicious , very tasty...

Visited for evening meal. The decor is stunning and the staff were amazing. The food is very different from anything I’ve experienced before, very high quality, we just loved it. 5* to our waitress horam who was so happy and chatty, she made our evening...

Great place to dine in. It was my friends bday the girl who served us made our day even special by singing. Her service was on point. Will definitely come back.

Fabulous food served by attentive but not intrusive staff, in particular Sajal and Costas. This is fine dining Indian style, where you can taste the subtle flavours and not be overpowered by excessive hot spices. For the quality of food presented it was tremendous value....

The service was poor, they kept taking cutleries away, we had to keep asking for things. Didn’t understand that there were 6 guests and should thus give enough poppadoms for all. They brought cake out and started singing happy birthday when it was a congratulations...

Great location, amazing setting with top service from start to finish. Sajal our waiter was attentive, professional and recommended a selection of dishes that were simply full of flavour and delicious. Would definitely return to this or any other Madhu’s

Ruined 18th birthday celebrations. Suggest that anyone booking large group have everything in writing. No one has called from the establishment to discuss the events that took place that ruined the celebrations that we had wanted and paid for. Total neglect by the management and...

This restaurant was mentioned and recommended in Serge Simonart's book about London. The experience of a great dinner started with the sopmtuous interior of this Indian restaurant. The waiters were very friendly and hospitable. The menu was full of delicious meals and we were serviced...

I believe this is one of the most beautiful restaurant settings in London. Grandeur. The service was top. The food was top. We will definitely come back. Ideal for a date or if you want to impress your guests.

We booked a family dinner at Madhus of Mayfair. The dining room is very opulent! It is a nice setting, you get the feeling that you’re in a really posh restaurant. But unfortunately, it does stop there. Service was very slow we felt like we...

Amazing restaurant, the food is exceptional the room fabulous and the service is brilliant. It’s my favourite. Nothing else to say

We visit the branch in Heathrow quite often and only just realised there was one in Mayfair so visited on my partners birthday. It was very good! The service was exceptional and the food was brilliant too!!! They brought over a small cake in aid...

Great evening celebrating a friend's birthday. Lovely food, good atmosphere and excellent service. Best Indian food I have tasted. Thank you

Visited Madhurs last night with two friends. Staff were formal but welcoming. Quiet for a Saturday so not much atmosphere but it was early (6pm). Curries ok but extremely hot (we were told they would be medium spicy) but I couldn’t eat mine (but I...

Worst Indian food and service I have ever experienced. The service was extremely slow with no care in the world. The food below average - such a waste of money. I wouldn’t recommend

We have eaten here twice before in the last year and always had a really good experience with food, service and the general atmosphere, but, alas not this time. We took two friends because we thought it was so good, however, on entry to the...

Our first impression was that this isn’t the typical Indian restaurant. The lounge / bar area is very comfortable but the dining room we found to be something else. The dining room really takes advantage of the impressively high ceiling, huge chandeliers and wall mirrors....

We spent this weekend at the excellent Dilly and discovered this restaurant in what was (I guess) the old ballroom when I had a beer on the first night. Draught Cobra, when it’s sold, is a great lager so it was a good start. The...

I saw Charity, Vincy, Kostos all very helpful staff members. The surroundings are very elegant and it was a good place for a beer. I did not order food, I just had a drink while I was waiting for an event. The beer was reasonably...

An absolute dreadful experience at the restaurant. Rude manager, one of the worst service experiences I've ever had, food was ok and the setting was lovely but just an overall poor and unfortunate experience. I would avoid.

Scrumptious. An Indian gem set inside the world famous Dilly Hotel, Mayfair London. The menu caters for vegans and vegetarians. The food is exquisitely served by an accomplished team. The chefs have created a superb menu full of flavours and choices. You’ll walk away feeling...

Beautiful surroundings in the restaurant inside The Dilly Hotel. Excellent service, nothing too much trouble for the staff. Food is superb with a very good selection on the menu. Highly recommended. This is our second visit within a matter of months. Prices are quite good...

Fabulous food in a stunning setting within the Dilly hotel. Beautifully spiced, generous portion, attentive service, and all at a cost by London standards is very reasonable. Feels like a special occasion place. Look forward to going back to try other items from the menu.

Our host Smyrna was very helpful, friendly and made us feel special. The hotel is lovely and restaurant ceiling decor is lush and silverware gave the experience a feeling of opulence. The menu prices did not reflect the prices advertised on The Dilly website and...

An elegant authentic Indian restaurant - extremely impressed by manager / staff and service - most enjoyable upscale dining experience

Good Experience as a one off, never again, I really can't justify paying between £11-£15 per dish for Standard Food, nothing special, when its no difference to any Indian restaurant, which charge £7, for the same kind of food, taste wise. Mocktails at £9, to...

Very close to Piccadilly. Went on a Friday. Was quite busy. If you like indian food worth a try. Large selection of food. Opulent interior. Quite enjoyed the lamb chops. Also liked the samosas. Cocktails were good.

Upon entering this unique venue for an Indian restaurant it felt like we were at a very posh wedding. The waitress was attentive and I would say a little too over the top, continuously asking every 5 minutes if the food was okay..surely after letting...

Firstly, I don’t usually write reviews but I had to this time now, the service of the staff is like no other. They truly take pride in providing sincere assistance. They have their eyes on the table, clear and take time to truly understand your...

I always am picky when it come to eating Indian food. But Madhus food was not only tasty but presented so beautifully. The flavours were amazing and I will definitely be visiting again. The venue was spectacular and the bar was beautiful too.

When you enter tye lobby and the restaurant, you are in total awe. It is beautiful. The table setting with all silverware, the walls, the chandeliers.. all make up for a perfect evening setting. But soon, it stops. The service is good with attentive waiters....

We were greeted by a nice hostess and asked if we can have a table at the bar just to wait for the rest of the guests, the bar looks amazing Loved every piece of furniture they also have the coolest and instagramable chair nice...

I’m VERY fussy when it comes to Indian food so was intrigued to see how this new location would match up to expectation. I wasn’t disappointed. The dining room is beautiful. We were greeted so politely and shown to a lovely table. The service was...

Good choice of menu including for vegetarians and food good. Staff friendly and helpful. Very good service. The restaurant is truly lovely, beautiful decorations and wonderful chandeliers. Will certainly eat here again. Good choice for a special occasion also.

We absolutely loved the good, ambiance and service we will definitely be returning soon 💯recommend 👌🏻❤️😋

First impressions are excellent entering the Bar area. 2 G&T`s later we make our way to dinning room. It is here you realise the Staff are not professional only to be enforced after waiting a while to be served then finally having our champagne glasses...

The food and the hospitality never fails when it comes to Madhus. I absolutely enjoyed celebrating my birthday here last night at their Mayfair restaurant. The food was delicious and full of flavour. The mock tails were so good esp the Lychee one! Def worth...

Went at 10:30pm on New Year's Day after going to the theatre - was hoping for a more buzzy vibe as this place is open until 1am and has a dj and stage, and we were very pumped up from the show, but it was...

This restaurant was recommended to us for our 6th anniversary. Although the service was great the food on the other hand was nothing special just the standard Indian food. Gave us asian wedding vibes. I really don't believe the food was worth the amount we...

The ambience is good, but service was a let down. Starters were okay but main course was quite bland- no real South Asian authenticity. Average customer service. Felt rushed with our food as it seemed like they wanted to turn tables fast. Won't be visiting...

From the moment we walked in, it felt classy and magical. Very attentive staff, who accommodated our booked group of 17 with ease and professionalism. Everyone felt comfortable throughout and well catered for. And the food was the best bit - delicious, authentic food in...

Madus is located within the new Dilly Hotel in piccalilly- formerly The Meridian. Very stylish interior. The food was much better than the service. Maybe its because all staff are relatively new into the role? Overall experience was good but TA ratings are average or...
