New Taj Mahal Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Very good food, very friendly service. The owner even speaks a bit German. Service was fast and the food really tasty!

ci siamo tornati dopo qualche anno e purtroppo non è più come era.. devo dire che non abbiamo mangiato bene, tutto troppo unto e con sapori non definiti. A londra si trova di molto meglio allo stesso prezzo. non ci torneremo più.

Tuve una cena maravillosa el sábado por la noche aquí con mi esposo y mis dos hijos adolescentes. La comida era excelente, compramos 4 entrantes (pollo tandoori, pollo tikka masala, cordero al curry y aloo Gobi). Con dos aperitivos nuestra cena fue de menos de $ 67 menos propina.¡Nos llevamos más de la mitad de la comida a casa y esperamos con ansias las sobras!

Llamamos aquí después de unas pintas en el mercado de pastores. Nunca hemos estado aquí antes, así que pensamos en probarlo. Tomamos unas cervezas, un par de entrantes y un curry. Los entrantes eran un poco pequeños pero el curry estaba bien y el pan estaba bien. El servicio fue bastante rápido en general, fue una comida agradable. Los precios eran bastante buenos, no demasiado caros teniendo en cuenta que estábamos en Mayfair, era bastante razonable en realidad

Pequeño restaurante en el sótano en el mercado de Shepards. Nada especial que es raro en Mayfair. Menú como se esperaría de su local para llevar, pero eso era lo que estábamos buscando. Los precios reflejan esto, lo cual es bueno si se considera cuán caros están cerca de todos los restaurantes.

The floor space is very small, but great if there are only 2 of you. Friendly service with the usual choice of curries. Good for a quick mid week supper.

Went here having stopped in the area. Firstly the place was tiny and no room at all which made it feel like you was sat with other people. Service was quite shocking we had popadoms before we even had a drink. We had to actually ask them if we could have a drink. The food was ok nothing special. The naan bread and chapati were terrible, they were tiny, ridiculous price and looked like they were straight out of a packet. Wouldn’t go again

La apariencia exterior oculta la delicia interior! El menú es increíble, las especias son muy sabrosas y la carne, Nan y el arroz son increíbles. La familia que dirige el restaurante es amable y acogedor. La comida era tan buena que volví durante una breve visita a Londres. Lo recomiendo altamente.

About 18 seats. You need to walk sideways into the toilet!! Very old - here over 35 years so doing something right. Very tightly packed. Indian music - terrible wine list- great food list. Food was v.good. Recommended.

Espejos alrededor para dar una sensación de espacio. Uno entra en un vestíbulo pequeño y baja por una escalera estrecha hasta una sala de estar súper pequeña. Uno tiene que admitir que el mantel / cubiertos, etc. eran impresionantes. La comida era un desastre, sin sabor y sin sabor para un paladar indio. El pollo tikka y el suave y caliente naan fueron la salvación. Había un camarero que era súper eficiente pero podía aprender a sonreír

Portions are small. Double check bill. Higher prices listed than on menu. Cheeky. Food ok. Doubt I return. Better places in the area.

Very tastefully decorated with comfortable seating and excellent service. Expansive range of tasty dishes. Good value and very helpful staff.

If you are looking for a hole in the wall, dive-ish, great Indian food restaurant, this is the place for you. If you are looking for a spacious elegant dining experience go elsewhere. This is a tiny claustrophobic basement restaurant with maybe 7 tables but the food is great!

Arrogant racist unfriendly owner & staff.. would never back there and never recommend anyone to go there. And it’s small conjusted place which cannot seat more than 15-20 ppl

Like other recent reviewers, I would emphasize that the restaurant is downstairs and in a tiny room. No mixed drinks, just beer and wine. I did not find it dingy and the waiter was attentive, not rude at all. Instead, the food was very good and -- considering it's in Mayfair and close to a lot of expensive places -- quite reasonably priced.

We were staying at the Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel and stopped by for dinner. The place was a small hole in the wall with about five or six tables. The service was mediocre but the food tasted great -- both flavorful and fresh (everything but the naan). Good food. Simple experience, and fair price.

I've read all the bad reviews. Yes, the service is a bit surly and curt. They are not going to win any points for graciousness. But they're not the nasty creatures the reviews make them out to be. They just want you in and out. And, frankly, you probably want the same. The place is tiny (about 7 tables). It's also not the dingy den some folks are making it out to be. It's fine. But you're not going to want to spend a lot of time there.

Este lugar se merece un 0 estrellas.

This was my first night in London and I asked around for Indian food only to be told I couldn't eat here. No high chairs or buggies allowed. In my country that's discrimination and illegal. Not a good impression

Queríamos comida india y estaban cerca, así que sólo pasó a rastrojo sobre los Nuevos Taj Mahal. No parece mucho, dentro o fuera! Pero teníamos hambre y también influenciado por el recorte de un periódico en una ventana con una mención de Keifer Sutherland. . Quien no amarlo? ? Disfrutamos aparece él incógnito en este lugar durante nuestra comida. Teníamos samosas, una variedad de pollo y cordero curry, sag paneer y la coliflor - todo era delicioso! Es un muy pequeño (5 - 6) establecimiento de mesas pero el dueño y nuestro servidor no podría haber sido más amable; eran especialmente amable con nuestros 3 hijos, todos menores de 10 años. En general, una verdadera delicia de la noche!

We were the only customers in the restaurant throughout the whole dinner. The place is very tiny and the bathroom really small.

Mi esposa estaba enferma, así que solo en el pastor, tratábamos de mercado y eligió el indio (no es su primera opción). Bajar las escaleras en este negocio pintoresco familiar. . La comida impresionante, gran conversación con el padre y el hijo. Fueron muy cuidadosa de mi la alergia. Me llevé a mi hijo y nuera de volver dos días más tarde. . Me acordé enseguida y me trataron a otra experiencia maravillosa comida. El servicio es muy rápido y amable, las instalaciones muy limpias, única.

Tuvimos una comida sola aquí por negocios. El restaurante está al bajar las escaleras al lado de la calle y es muy pequeño. El personal no era particularmente agradable y a pesar de que solo había 6 personas allí abajo la música estaba muy alta. La comida llegó rápidamente y estaba bien. El naan era nada especial. El proyecto de ley no era demasiado caro.

Amigos estaban alojados localmente en el Sheraton, y nos decidimos por un indio, ya que estaban en la ciudad.

Visited with 4 work colleagues for a mid week bite. Great, authentic Indian fare served with a smile and no pretence. Would definitely go again.

Restaurant in a basement, so don't go expecting luxurious spacious surroundings, but then this is the heart of Mayfair, and I'm surprised that a "traditional" curryhouse has been able to survive here at all.

Manager/staff in charge was rude and incredibly unhelpful; one of the worst-mannered I've come across. Very small/cramped space that seats less than 20. Despite stating on their website that they are accommodating of food allergies, please note that this is not true, as everything is pre-made and heated up in the kitchen. The food was quite good taste-wise, but not made fresh. Upside of this is that it arrives very quickly. Very reasonably-priced meal - came to £10 a person for 4 people at lunchtime, which is fantastic, particularly for its location. However, I was not impressed with the experience or quality of food, so would not go back again.

One of my favourite Indian in London. The food is good, staff is attentive and friendly and great location. Highly recommended.

Es un restaurante pequeño ubicado en Shepherds Market en Mayfair, en un sótano muy chiquito, el servicio es eficiente pero no destacado.

Paramos aquí para un almuerzo rápido.

Iv estado viniendo a este restaurante por casi 7 años ahora, excelente comida y servicio, platos de estilo muy tradicional casa cocinado desde leves a caliente y picante! Tenía el jalfrezi, ¿qué puedo decir aparte de delicioso! Volveremos cuando estoy en la zona de seguro.

Nos alojamos varias semanas en Mayfair cada año, pero nunca antes había visto el restaurante New Taj Mahal, en Shepherd's Market. Está un poco escondido en un callejón que conduce a Picadilly. El restaurante es muy pequeño, alrededor de 8 mesas, con aproximadamente 20 personas,...

Este lugar es una joya escondida de Mayfair. No te lo pierdas si quieres comida india real - no twits, sin frivolidades. Curry son impresionantes lo que pides ser feliz. El personal es amable y la comida es increíblemente barato. Volveré seguro!

Mejor pollo tikka masala he probado. A este pintoresco restaurante topamos mientras explora el mercado de pastores, cuatro de nosotros rápidamente y sirve, camarero sentado amable y un precio muy razonable, hubiera esperado a ser más cara debido a la ubicación.

I have visited this quaint little restaurant many times and myself and a friend always thought it was excellent, and it still is! however for a curry meal with a few sides starter, poppadum's and beers is it worth £35 per head? I don't think so, so with a heavy heart I can only rate this a 3/5. Yes its in Mayfair near shepherds market however when the prices are that much higher even for central London then there comes a point. Not sure I will return for some time now due to this but otherwise I think its a bit unfortunate.

Having discovered the famous shepard market, we had a look around the hidden village everyone's been hyping about, and stumbled across this small jewl, tucked away in the corner like something In an aladins movie. On arrival we were greeted with warm welcomes, but had to wait for a table as it was obviously a very busy time. Eventually got a table, had drinks starters and mains.... Could not fault this place the slightest, food was VERY flavourful with just the correct portion sizes which were enough to finish. Cheap prices compared to neighbouring restaurants in the varcinity but all in all a wonderful dining experience. Would deffinatly go back there again next time we are in the area, making sure to reserving a table before hand. A+ all round. Thank you and well done!

I was hesitant to try this restaurant as I saw some mixed reviews, but I and 6 of my little party, were more than impressed by the standard of service and quality of food provided in this little Indian. I couldn't find fault in anything and I can't say how much I appreciate the level of personal attention found in a small Indian-themed restaurant in a busy capital. I ordered a Lamb Dansak at the recommendation of the waiter and I'm very glad I did. The curry was flavoursome and cooked to perfection and not spoiled by any overpowering spices, oil or sauce.The staff were more than happy to cater for two vegetarian and non-alcoholic drinker and eater in our party, offering them delicious alternative dishes. I'd recommend New Taj Mahal to any fan (or not) of Indian cuisine - Vegetarian or not. Brilliant, hidden little restaurant.

I am at least 10 countries and six months behind on my reviews but I liked this place so much that I decided to do it first. What makes a good restaurant? The ambiance? The location? The quality of the fittings? To an extent, yes. But what really makes a good restaurant is the quality of the food and the staff. The New Taj Mahal requires you to go down a flight of mirror lined stairs - they only have seven tables but the staff are excellent and the food good. If you want an Indian meal in this area, come to this place. I can see from the other reviews that not everyone has had the same experience and so it may depend on who is in at the time - I struck lucky.

First of all, Kiefer Sutherland who happens to be one of my favourite actors ( see him in the amazing Designated Survivor !) should not be reviewing Indian restaurants. I read the reviews in TA, both positive and negative and was hoping for a good meal.This is a tiny restaurant, but well mantained and very clean. Seems to be a family run affair and despite some negative reviews, service was fine.Food though was average at best, the bhaji was oily. the Tikka Masala was prettytasteless. Rice I'm afraid was microwaved (hope I'm wrong here and would be nice if the restaurant manager would confirm that the rice is freshly made) breads ordered were slightly sweet and I'm not sure how they were made. I think this tiny spot has huge potential to attract customers, investing in a proper chef and serving fresh food is all it takes. Feel bad about writing this review but hope theyget their act together and produce some excellent food in the near future.

Terrible food, poor service and very expensive, that's all I can say really. Oily food, no flavour and just generally very bland

What a wonderful place! We were strolling around Shepherd's Market trying to decide on a spot for dinner...saw the cute article in the window of New Taj Mahal...Kiefer Sutherland highly recommended it! The food was delicious and we loved our waiter! We were visiting from Texas and he gave us several suggestions for spots to visit! Really enjoyed everything about our dinner here!

We were here last year by coincidence while we were walking from green Park to Hyde Park. At the first look it's really small and not really invitingly like the whole street. There is only space for around 10 people. The Owner ist very friendly and the food is really delicious. So we came back today with the whole family. It was great again! We didn't understand everything in the menu so the Owner helped us with making suggestions of some dishes that we maybe like. And it was really good. We had different Types of chicken Curry with rise and Naan. We want to come back on our next trip to London.

Stumbled across this place and thought we would give it a try. It's small..20 covers and a tiny loo but the food was good, reasonably authentic and wasn't expensive and the service, while a little abrupt was fine. Can't ask much more than that in an area which has some super expensive places to eat and drink.

Well there I was with a group of Swedish friends in Grosvenor Square looking for somewhere interesting to eat. Shepherds Market was a favourite area of theirs and so we headed in that direction. On previous occasions they'd been to the larger restaurants and whilst walking around we came upon this restaurant which looked interesting. Indeed, you descend the steps to the basement level it's very quirky and you have to wonder why this restaurant is located where it is.We found a table for the four of us and the lone waiter came along and took our order. The food was very reasonably priced and tasty but you wouldn't describe it as a posh retaurant. All in all we were having a pleasant evening until.....As with all service industries there's always service failures but how you handled them shows the strength of the organisation.Now, purely by accident, the lone waiter spilt some food on one of guests whilst removing the plates. More shockingly, however, there wasn't one word of apology or concern over the fact that there was curry dripping down my friend's coat. He slowly got a cloth whilst my friend hurried to the toilet to clean the mess.The response, or lack of it, from the waiter was shocking. I will definitely not be going there again do not hesitate to recommend that everyone gives this restaurant a wide berth.

Despite the mixed reviews this was the closest Indian restaurant to our apartment. And we did not have the same experience as others. The food was good and the service friendly and efficient. I am not sure how such a small place with a probably small kitchen manages, but we enjoyed our experience.

We rarely write reviews but just had to! Appalling service, had to ask for everything, got the order wrong and when we complained they refused to serve us. How this place (can't call it a restaurant) survives in Mayfair is a miracle. Please under no circumstances come here!

Well it was big disappointment, their curry don't seems to have any taste. I had chicken tikka masala rice and a peshwari nan. Was not good. My partner also had tandoori mix grill which was average. This is not Indian food. They don't seems to bother with customer service.

A tiny restaurant with max seating of 20 across 7 tables. Very cosy. Most diners were single business men so comfortable if solo and male !Food average although thought the prawn purée was good. Very limited drinks choice (limited by size of place I guess) Overall inexpensive and pleasant experience.

We went here 18 years ago the day before we married what a lovely little restaurant it was then! Went back today and were appalled by the service. They were not welcoming and was limited drinks only wine or beer. The food was tasty enough but nothing special. Felt crammed in only 20 covers there but boy did you know it. Was disappointed as not was as we remembered.

Years ago this place was good but after a visit last week please please NEVER go. Three different curries looked and tasted the same (terrible) - swimming in oil, ground spices added after the dish was cooked & were suspended in the oil. Bhajis cold burnt and looked like they had been reheated many times. Hygiene was also a worry. London is full of fabulous Indian restaurants - please don't waste your money and health in this one.

Nice accommodation and nice food great ambiance. It was a nice experience and pleasant stay in that hotel.

When you want to eat around Park Lane expect to pay high prices. By the yardstick of places around this restaurant was well priced. The food was above average - Bangladeshi management that is reasonably hospitable.

After a long day, this restaurant was the only one in the area still serving food late in the evening that we could get into.We were very pleasantly surprised with the speed and friendly service (i'm sure the staff would have preferred to head home as we arrived only a few minutes before closing)Our meals (Tandoori Mixed Grill and Chicken Korma, together with a shared starter) were swiftly prepared and of excellent quality. Good value for money, including a few glasses of wine.The restaurant is small, but decorated in quite an eccentric, but fun way.Note that the restaurant is in the basement, so access may be a bit tricky for some.

Even though it looks like Indian restaurant but actually it is Bangladeshi restaurant which is the case with many of the Indian restaurant in London. The food quality was not so good; The aalu-gobi was having bad smell and the potato seems to be smelling. The fish and the rotis were still OK; Unless you have any other option its better to forget this.

I've been to this place a number of times through the years when staying in Mayfair and it is consistently good. Friendly service and a quiet place to eat. Recommend the samosas and butter chicken-Lamb roganash is very good too!

Best coffee franchise in the area by a mile. Friendly baristas, good coffee and good seating, with excellent working hour range.

Found this place by chance on a night out in London. I had a vegetable Korma and my friend had a lamb tikka Korma. Both were nice although we were disappointed in the Naan bread and didnt get exactly what we had ordered (this was a take away meal). The reason we went for a take away rather than sit in was because it didnt seem very appealing to go and sit in a basement for our meal! The gentleman who took our order wasnt overly friendly but maybe he was just busy or having a bad day. I've had worse and I've had better but it served a purpose.

위치도 좋고 맛도 좋은 인도음식점.늘 그렇듯 가격은.. 인도 현지를 생각하면 안됌.친절한 직원이 있던 곳.

Not the worst Indian I had, not the best. Service at a minimum, don't expect a smile, probably more expensive. OK they kept the price down (considering location) but the waiters are not particularly friendly/amicable. Food was OK for an Indian, could be tastier. If you are craving for an Indian in MAYFAIR, that's ok I guess.

Monday lunchtime - fancied a quick tasty lunch. Suffice to say that the slop that was served up was inedible and bore no resemblance to what I had ordered. It was swimming in grease and was dark brown in colour. Grubby crockery. I just left. Was charged the full amount.. No apology. The worst ever. I may even contact the HSE. Food should not emerge from a kitchen looking like that.

The restaurant is squeezed into an underground space close to Green Park. The restaurant offers a traditional Indian menu. I had a chicken Madras, which was delicious and arrived very quickly after ordering. The naan was also very good. Prices are reasonable (especially for central London).

I eat a lot of currys and was utterly appalled at the quality of the food. The main course was swimming in oil, tasteless and the meat was overcooked. The naan bread wasn't freshly cooked eitherIt is small restaurant with absolutely no atmosphere and was very expensive for what we receivedTo be honesy not somewhere that I would ever go back to

In an area replete with diverse dining options, it is always a pleasure to discover a new eatery that boasts good Indian food, extremely friendly and competent service, and great value for the money. Tucked into a basement on the periphery of Shepherd’s market, the New Taj Mahal Restaurant offers a wide variety of traditional Indian cuisine. The food is prepared well and is quite a bargain considering the neighborhood. Despite being a basement restaurant and relatively small, the ambiance is airy and one does not feel cramped (well, maybe a bit cramped if stuck with the tiny two-top table shoe horned between two four-tops). The wine choices were limited but the house wines were surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Overall, a surprisingly good and certainly affordable choice for Indian comfort food.

Gute Bedienung, das Essen i.O. - nichts besonderes! Sehr kleines Restaurant, im Keller mit sehr intimer Atmosphäre. Das Essen wurde meines Erachtens nach nicht frisch gemacht sondern erwärmt.

Will forever avoid this establishment despite my close habitat.Not good food in fact nothing to commend at all.

Un pequeño restaurante indio, con buena comida casera. Servicio correcto. Adecuada relación calidad-precio. Lo peor es que el espacio es pequeño y las mesas están muy juntas.

I was looking for a reasonably priced Indian restaurant in the Mayfair district and this little place did not disappoint! It is a the basement of a building but the food and service were very good. We had the lamb curry and Chicken tikka masala and both were delicious. It was my daughter's first visit to an Indian restaurant and she loved it.

We found out this place by chance and I must say I was very satisfied both with the quality of food and friendliness of service. It's a very small place and we arrived half an hour before the kitchen closes, yet, they served us very well and we had a great time.

What on earth is Kiefer Sutherland going on about? This place is a dud. I can make better curry myself. Miserable tiny room in basement. Surly staff. Avoid at all costs

I ate twice at the Taj during my recent trip to London. On both occasions I had a lamb curry, which was very tasty and the accompaniments were good too. Service was excellent and the value for money in an expensive city was very welcome. Prices are very reasonable and helpings are generous.

Rigtig god indisk mad. Stedet er meget lille. Det ligger i kælder etagen og der er fire borde, som stort set altid er optaget, så bestil tid. Meget hyggeligt sted, med ejeren selv som tjener. Vi var fire og fik alle noget forskelligt. Alt var friskt og godt og vi var alle imponeret da vi mætte forlod stedet.

Very good food.We love that place.Food was made as requested,very ggod and was served very quickly .Would definately go back

The area of London is somewhat starved of "Ordinary" Indian restaurants and the Concierge at the Hilton could not think of any. Go to Tamarind if you want exceptional food at a high price but if you are out and about in the Shepherd's Market area on your own this is a good solid restaurant. Not exceptional and very small but friendly, good service and all the old favourites on the menu.

Had a variety of dishes from mild to spicy and enjoyed every one of them. Service was excellent and the prices seemed reasonable!

This was one of the smallest restaurants I've been to: seven tables. The waiter was not very friendly, nor was he rude. He was just quite "correct" and did not ask many questions. The food was good, they had lots of options, however I've had better. I had a vegetarian curry which was ok but not more than that. The naan bread was not as light and delicious as it can be sometimes, and I had my starter plate coming out a bit unclean. That being said, this is a place that served quite decent Indian food for a fair price. Would I recommend it to others. If you live close to the pkace, yes. In other circumstances maybe not, there really are too many other really great Indian restaurants in London to choose from!

Found the place after a pub visit nearby. Very small place with seating downstairs. Very nice waiter and fast service. Our starters and curries were very good. My naam and rice was tasty. Very reasonable price as we had 2 bottles of wine.

Food was very tasty. Half of the service team was great. The other half (younger guy) was a bit rude and impatient with two Indian food newbies. He was constantly checking his phone. We were referred by the hotel and TA reviews but there was little to no acknowledgement of that. We got over the "bad half" and enjoyed the food. The naan and the chicken tikka were amazing Its a must order

Seriously the smallest place I have ever been to...its smaller than my office at home ....there are about 18 covers tops....and intimately close....the toilet is like an Alice in Wonderland experienceFood is average but cheapish for Mayfair.....portions however are reflective of the price....if hungry I suggest you order extra side dishes as rice , bread and main won't suffice....although you might struggle for space on the tiny tables.Food quality is ok....not amazing , not terrible ...can't say much more.

I was in Shepherd's Market at 2 p.m. and suddenly felt like lunch. I saw the cheap prices advertised outside 'The Taj Mahal' - so went in - and down. I asked the waiter if lunch was still being served: he looked at his watch - then reluctantly nodded his head. He brought a menu which bore no relation at all to the prices outside: but I was hungry and in a rush. About ten minutes later another couple came in to eat: I then saw that the restaurant closed at 3 p.m. so I had been in plenty of time. The waiter bought them the same menu as he gave to me: the couple looked at it - then asked to see the lunch menu. This, I later discovered, had the same sort of food for half the price. The waiter had not showed this to me - and I ended up paying £25 for a modest lunch. What a stupid trick to play! If the circumstances had been different, I would have written a favourable review - but to be cheated like this infuriated me. Go there - the food is old-fashioned Indian-as-we-once-knew - but be on your guard.

We came up in this restaurant after walking around a bit looking for a place to eat. It's nice and cosy and the people are very friendly. The food was the beSt indian we've ever had. Although we stumbled upon it by accident we definitely will be going again and recommend to friends and family.

Look carefully for this little gem close by Shepherds Market. Modest menu but the food is of good quality and served shortly after ordering. Staff are attentive. Prices are good value for money. Only drawback is the limited capacity/space available. Our group of 5 ALL enjoyed themselves. We would return and recommend to anyone looking for a restaurant following after works beers

Our second visit to this restaurant and we weren't disappointed. Although we hadn't booked we were able to be accommodated even though a big party was expected. Food lovely high quality sheek kebab and puri. Main courses lovely too. Change out of £50 for two starters, two mains and a bottle of wine. Great value for its location.

Place was recommended by people we met in the pub of a nearby private club just before Christmas 2014. We love good curry, so we thought we'd give it a try. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so we went in early on a Friday night and were seated right away, attended to very quickly, but were not given more than a minute to look at the menu before the owner returned to take our order. My wife had a couple of questions and I ordered wine, which we got right away, and as the owner served the wine he said, "I have more people coming and need to take your order". We should have left, but since it was recommended, we stayed, and placed our order. The flavor of the lamb vindaloo was ok, but the vindaloo and rice was slightly over room temperature.I would not recommend this restaurant at all.

And unwilling to rectify. My biryani was sooooo small! Would not go again and nothing special at all!

Lovely little restaurant, great fresh food - korma flavourful but mild and naans soft and doughy. Prompt service, the place filled up very quickly so would be wise to book in advance.

We like our curries. Jet-lagged but hungry we stumbled in here, recommend by an Indian barman at our lodgings close by. Very pleasantly surprised ...super lamb rogan josh and chicken madras..fresh naan, good rice, not expensive (for Mayfair!). very small but obviously pretty popular ( someone came in with a huge take-away order while we there). Liked it. we'll be back.

Very small resturant off Sheperds Street. I have been to much better Indian restaurants, staff lacked interest, not great at waiting the table. Very cramped with back to back tables. Food nothing to shout about. Cant really recommend this restaurant. I would not return.

Yes it is tiny, but the warm welcome, great service and good food were well worth it. The house red was good quality and a reasonable price, so we enjoyed a bottle of that to accompany our main courses.We are both regular (and picky) curry eaters, and, having ordered our favourites, we were impressed with the authenticity and flavour. For this area, you wont beat the prices, quality and service, so we can recommend for sure, and we will be back.

Stumbled across this place while wandering about London. It's a tiny downstairs closet of a restaurant that you could easily bypass if you blink. The food was fantastic. We ordered the daal, the lamb vindaloo, a couple varieties of naan, rice, and the tandoori chicken. All of it was lovely and quite good. I will certainly return here the next time I visit London.

Absolute perfect spot for a late night ruby after a night out drinking around Shepherds Market. All the usual British favourities.Not the largest restaurant probably holds around 20 people. Tricky descent into the basement restauarant. Biggest quibble is the lack of pint bottles of lager - despite several requests - they still only serve small bottles.

We were staying at the Naval Club in Hill Street, and just wanted a casual place for dinner as the club wasn't doing dinner. Walked down towards Piccadilly and found this place by accident. No one there when we arrived, but it did start to fill up later. We loved it. The food was much better than our local Indian in Crawley, the waiter was efficient and friendly (said we'd made a good choice on the menu) and it was just the right amount. The flavours were authentic and you could really tell the difference. We've been to India and we thought the food was very good for London - it wasn't India, but when in London....Tap water provided, wine Australian and a good price. And the toilets were clean.

This boutique Indian restaurant is just off the beaten path, I almost missed it heading for another curry place. The décor is unique and adds to the atmosphere. Menu has plenty of choices of curry and non-curry cuisine. The waiter was very attentive and made excellent suggestions based on my tastes. Would definitely go again.

Well having visited the Winter Wonderland and then the rather nice trio of pubs in Shepherd Market, we figured a nice curry would perfectly round off the evening - but we were rather let down by this venue.I wish we had done some research in Tripadvisor first as previous reviews are spot on and absolutely fair – take heed and you will not be disappointed.7 of us tipped up to an almost empty restaurant (dead give-away 'bad sign' at 9pm on a Saturday night). The seating area is in a basement, 1 level below the street. We ordered a range of curry's from Korma to Vindaloo with a few trimmings such as Onion bhaji and naan bread.The poppadum’s were OK but I was rather put off with the usual compliments having already spotted them on our way to the table, hanging up from the overhead glass rack of the bar in the open topped quad of stainless pots. Got to be a hygiene issue there? The meals were very slow in arriving, and one was a good 5 mins behind the rest. They were clearly prepared from cold into dishes that were then microwaved. One dish was well over-nuked given the cream was puckered in appearance and starting to separate. It wasn’t very nice. The other dishes were acceptable however my vindaloo was not only lacking in temperature, it was remarkably mild in spices and in my experience wasn’t even at the level of a madras.The onion bhaji was little more than what you’d expect from a supermarket, and the Peshwari Naan was certainly not cooked fresh and was filled with soggy coconut, tasteless, and one ripped off corner was ample. The prices were quite reasonable given it was in the Green Park area and to be honest that is its only plus point apart from the pleasant elderly chap who has owned it for the past 30 years.Overall? Not recommended, there’s dozens of Indian food restaurants in London, walk further.

Siamo andati a cena in questa zona molto carina di Londra e ci siamo imbattuti in questo ristorante. Devo dire che abbiamo mangiato bene .. Locale piccolino ma carino. Piatti semplici ma fatti bene.. Prezzo accettabile insomma è andata bene... Da consigliare.. Sapendoche è un posto semplice!!!

We got recommended this place by the hotel concierge and the local pub. A great find, and very small and cozy. Food prepared from scratch in the kitchen, and good service. I`ll be back again for sure.

We visited this Indian restaurant on the advice of a friend. It is a very small restaurant in the basement holding only 16 diners in very close quarters. Luckily for us there were no noisy or offensive diners when we were there. The food is good but nothing to rave about. There is an extensive menu so everyone can have their favourite dish. The prices are a bit high for the quality and the location. The service is attentive and the food arrives quite quickly after being ordered. Nothing bad to say but then nothing to rave about either. The area is quite quaint with lots of winding streets, unique buildings and lots of pubs/restaurants.

Ontvangst, echt geweldig, gelijk naar 2 persoons tafel geleid.Kregen gelijk een aanbod een drankje te bestellen terwijl er water gratis werd geserveerd.Eten was goed, wel kleine porties qua prijs. Heerlijkwij hadden 2 roti, 2 rijst, 1 lamsgerecht en een vegetarische gerecht en een yellow dhal,hebben heerlijk gegeten, vraag wel naar midium.ben tevreden over, ga zeker als ik in de buurt bent terug.

the best thing is that you are served 5 minute after you place your order. maybe it happened because there was no one else (a very bad signal in itself), but you get the impression that most food just need to be warmed up (the naans for sure). not worth 30 pounds. to eat below street level is not pleasant either. not to recommend, but not a tragedy. you'll easily find something better

The restaurant although very small was packed the atmospher was good the service good not certain about eating in a basement but the food was just average the pubs surrounding the restaurant are all packed can only assume that is where their clientele comes from

The curry house is at the side of the grapes pub (which is excellent) that been said, the curry wasnt brilliant we spent approx £150 for the 3 of us. Nothing special.
