Pahli Hill Bandra Bhai in City of London, Westminster

Very, very good food. High quality. Plus a very attentive waiter. Of course the price is a bit more expensive, but it's authentic. Thank you!

Honestly 10 out 10 meal, it was so delicious I can’t wait to come back. I’ve been to Trishna, Gymkhana, Dishoom, Hoppers, Brigadiers and honestly this meal competes with those well established names. And yet it offers something slightly different and unique I thought. 2 of us shared about 5 dishes, a combination of smaller and bigger plates. Everything was delicious, particularly the chicken curry. Staff were adorable and had good recommendations and also good banter so very thankful for their great service. My only negative point is that I thought it was a touch too expensive given we paid 160£ for two although we had two beers each. For that price I would still rather go to Trishna but wouldn’t take anything away from how tasty this restaurant is. Conclusion: highly recommend and will come back.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, we did the chef's counter experience for a birthday (for the second time, it's that good) and all the food was incredible, chef Avi is great and explains all the dishes to you and is happy to answer questions and have a chat with you. You get to see him finishing off each dish and checking it before it goes out. It's well worth the money as the amount of food you get is ridiculous, we had to take some home as we couldn't finish it. Every dish was amazing, but my stand outs were probably the crab sukkha, kulcha, dosa and the mussels. The chicken tikka is the best I have eaten anywhere and the lamb is cooked so well - I don't usually even like lamb, but this was delicious. The service from all of the team is attentive but not overbearing, Kamal was great and very funny. I highly recommend this restaurant, probably my favourite Indian I've been to. Thanks to all the team & we will definitely be back.

Best indian restaurant in London!

Absolutely delightful! Pahli Hill’s menu offers a variety of flavours, both in food and drinks. The portion sizes are very generous as well. The Bandra Bhai bar, where we were seated has a great ambience, with friendly staff to top it off. As a vegetarian, it’s often challenging to find a fine dining experience that justifies the price. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fine dining spot in London!

Excellent dining experience. Amazing food with so many levels of flavour and spicing. Highly recommend. 5 stars!

Fast becoming one of my favourite restaurants in town. I genuinely think this might be the most underrated restaurant in London. Imaginative food and bursting with layers of flavours. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.

A wonderful restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, yet the decor is refined and elegant. The food was excellent, and the service was warm and attentive—our server was especially kind.

The Chef’s Table at Pahli Hill is a sensational treat. Chef Avi’s talent for innovative cuisine is matched by his storytelling gifts. Gluten-free and vegetarian options were seamless and no problem. The vibe was festive and high. Passionate sommelier and attentive servers. We’ll be back.

Avoid at all costs!! Restaurant was so incredibly noisy and loud that my ears were ringing after we left. It was impossible to have any meaningful conversation because nobody at our table could hear the person next to them. Had to yell loudly to get service (staff were kind but they simply couldn't hear us.) Cocktails were good. Desserts were way too sweet. Inedible. Rest of the dishes unmemorable. Food was slightly overpriced but this seems to be the norm for whitewashed Indian food.

It’s a real shame that this restaurant experience is ruined by being far too noisy. Had a table for 6 birthday celebration. The food was delicious, friendly and professional staff. But we could not have any group conversations because we literally couldn’t hear each other. Ordering with the staff was frustrating as we’d all have to repeat ourselves as couldn’t hear each other. The general feeling was one of frustration and exhaustion. It just felt like a real downer. This could surely be resolved with sound absorbers on the ceiling, some curtains / wall hangings, and table cloths. I won’t be going back for now.

Firstly for a restaurant of its class, there were several issues. - the restaurant was very noisy, poor liting. We struggled to see what we were eating. - dining experience is enhanced when one can use all their senses. - we waited 15 min for someone to give us the menu and had to ask three times for a wine menu. - The starter (Mangalore bun) was served cold. There should be a better quality check at service. - we waited 45 min between the starter and the main course being served. - Dosa was not crisp and served to the standard an Indian restaurant should be serving - despite highlighting the above to the server, and we told a manager would come and speak to us, he did not come until we settled the bill.( we did not hold back the gratuity) - there should have been some gesture for the poor quality offered. Please avoid, there are better places with better dining and food quality in London.

Pahli Hill offers an authentic and flavorful Indian dining experience. The menu is unique and offers some really different recipes from the usual indian restaurants. The flaky naan bread really good and the sourdough roti is perfectly soft. The curries are well-balanced with the right amount of heat and spices. The staff is warm and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of vegetarian options or hearty meat dishes, Pahli hill delivers consistent quality in a cozy atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine!

Avi and his team are masters of their work. Absolutely incredible food, service and atmosphere. 11/10, highly recommended and we can’t wait to return soon

Called me an hour before we were meant to eat at our reservation time saying that they didn’t have the table as they had overbooked. On a Saturday night which is very inconvenient. No apology offered.

The seabass is a favourite - I drop by whenever I’m in London just for the seabass. This time, I brought my wife and a friend. We ALL ordered the seabass - thankfully it was as great as ever and we all enjoyed it tremendously.

Epic Indian. Not cheap but totally worthwhile!

food that hails from mumbai and the coastal area of mangalore ! Has some delicacies that you might not find elsewhere like mangalore buns. Service is great. Will be back for a more detailed review.

Best Dosa and Thali Fish in London. Portion is humongous and ingredients are superb. Fish is wild halibut, and those who know quality should appreciate hallibut.

Not bad but very popular so expect a rush.

We enjoyed a spectacular meal. The food was interesting, flavorful, fresh and exciting. The staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The Papadi Chaat was the standout of the meal, don’t miss it.

the food was pretty good, the lamb biryani was very nice, super tender and flavorful. the chicken tikka masala was a little too salty & the chicken curry was a little bland. though the free starter they gave was very delicious. however, the service did not feel very friendly at all and we felt very rushed. wouldn’t really recommend it as the food is very pricey but not worth it.

I recently got very obsessed about the Michelin's Guide list of restaurants in London that have a Bib Gourmand status and that's how I found out about this place as I hadn't seen any foodie influencers promoting it and none of my friends knew this place either. As a massive foodie and a lover of Indian food, I naturally had to come try it out and see what my own verdict would be. I made a reservation in advance with 3 friends for a Thursday night for an early birthday celebration. It's not too busy at 7pm and I absolutely loved the interior design. We got seated downstairs and I fell in love with the vibes instantly. It's got the old school Indian pictures and posters to give a retro vibe but it's also kinda of giving a modern stylish finish at the same time. The staff was super attentive and friendly. When I told them one of my friends had a gluten allergy they immediately went away to scrap off a few items on the menu and clearly flagged to us what we shouldn't order to avoid those dishes. We took some time to decide because the entire menu looked amazing but the staff member never once rushed us. In the end, we went for the summer chaat and the mengalorean bun with crab sukkha as starters, switching out the bun for some gluten free Indian style pancakes. They were absolutely fluffy and soft and the crab sukkha was so flavourful and not seafood-y and got a really good kick to it. The summer chaat was absolutely fantastic, one of my personal biggest highlights of our whole dinner I must say. It's so refreshing with the honey figs and peaches. We also ordered the tandoori chicken tikka which was so juicy and tender and well-marinated. We were off to a great start. For mains, we had the saag paneer and fish curry with lamb biryani and a sourdough roti on the side. Again, everything was absolutely delightful. Didn't know spinach puree could have so much flavour and the fish was so tender it basically melted in my mouth. Curry was rich and not overly spicy and the lamb biryani had a good amount of lamb meat in it. The sourdough roti was flaky and fluffy and well-made, went well with the curries. For dessert, we ordered the signature carrot halwa vanilla ice cream which was the absolute highlight for me in the entire meal. I have never had something quite like this before! It's almost like an elevated carrot mash with crushed pistachios sprinkled all around the vanilla ice cream to give it a nutty flavour and crunchy texture. And the flavours were so pleasant they just all worked so well together it's basically like a symphony in my mouth! My friends and I had the best time in this restaurant thoroughly enjoying our dinner and we all agreed that this was probably one of the best modern Indian restaurants we have ever had in London! I will be sure to come back very soon to try the other menu items :)

The best Indian meal I have had. Great attention to detail. Unique versions of famous dishes. The palak paneer was outstanding and my favourite of all the excellent dishes. Warm and friendly staff who knew all about the menu. Thoroughly recommend you try it!

We eat in many Indian restaurants across the globe. We were impressed with Chef Avi's creativity and presentation of the dishes. We found it flavourful and interesting. The service by Rosemary was exemplary, Kamal our waiter was charming. We ordered an excellent bottle of red wine 2017 Chateau Hostens-Picant, Saint Foy. Starters were Coorg de Pork shoulder and Pondicherry fried squid with a delicious bread which was delicious and slightly charred for extra flavour. The Pali Hill chicken tikka was succulent and full of flavour. The main dish was Homemade fish curry. It was nice but not our favourite. Aubergine Bharata was truly delicious. The Saffron rice was good. The dishes were a good size, we over-ordered as it was our 1st time in this restaurant we had no idea how large the dishes would be. Chef Avi was amicable. We wish him all the best and we shall return shortly.

Salty food, taste was terrible , staff had lots of attitude, whole restaurant was empty and then kept on asking for reservations , menu was really complicated and hard to understand , staff was unnecessarily attentive and continued asking if we need something every 2 minutes also asked why we ordered less and were forcing to order more.

Thanks very much for helping put together a large group for my birthday. The space was good for our group though in the middle of the place we may have been noisy for others! The staff handled a group our size very well and I think we ordered about the right amount and range. Food was overall great and every one was talking about it with some interesting and slightly different offers (summer chaat). The price overall was on the high end though with some reasonably priced decent wines, but this was a treat. With that in mind, some dishes were not as great as others. The coorg pork shoulder was my favorite. The cocktail bar was closed for an event so there was a limited cocktail menu but what we had was good. Nice to have a chat with Chef Avi after. Will be back with others for the counter menu!

Amazing food. We had the langoustines, crab bun, trout, mushroom kulcha. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Actually the best in London. The menu is inventive and every dish is truly tasty. So impressive and will definitely be back!

Great menu tasty food with variety of flavors Papadu chat abd fish curry are delicious!

Popped in on our anniversary and it was one of the best meals I've ever eaten

…this place gave me confidence and respect that it’s okay to go out and eat alone. Everything about the place was outstanding. I will never forget the waiter that served me. …it was like eating around with your family members even though you refused to cut the onions 😉

A real shame that the greed and lack of ethics of management in attempting to get clientele to pay a service charge twice undermines the excellent food and service. The prices are high - why do you and other restaurants attempt this scam? Is Michelin aware?

There was a 12.5% service charge added to an already elevated bill. When I tried to pay by credit card I was asked for a tip. The waitress tried to explain that the service charge went to other staff and that the tip reflected what I thought of the service. This is a scam and an unacceptable trend in UK restaurants. As a result I withdrew the 12.5 % optional service and I urge other diners to do the same at all restaurants that attempt this scam. Otherwise the food and service was superb.

Even by London standrads, you need to be fairly loaded to enjoy a meal at Pahlihill Bandrabhai Restaurant. The portions are reasonable, but yet, not quite commensurate with the pricing - again, even by London standards. If the price includes the high standrad of friendly, efficient and caring service staff, if it includes the open kitchen system which ensures a very high order of safety in food handling and preparation, well, I am willing to concede, they have a right to charge what they do. May be it is the retiree in me that hurt a bit when the bill came! The atmosphere is nice and cozy, and the place is child- (in my case, grandchild) friendly. They have a cloak room facility, which is very convenient.

I was here last week with my parents. The lady at the desk pretended to “look” on the screen before refusing a table saying there is nothing available. Half the restaurant was empty and not sure what she was “looking” at if they were fully booked out. Also, did I mention, she was brown herself!

Amazing place… music & service chicken tikka and the flaky bread ..: unforgettable!!!

Had a business meeting, the cocktails were impeccable loved it, best Indian place to have dinner and drinks, the staffs were friendly, the food was amazing, I would recommend others 🤠😊

Visited on a Monday evening, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We were served by Kamal who was very personable and explained the menu to us. His friendly and attentive service was noticed and appreciated. He recommended the pork shoulder and dhal which we loved. The bar downstairs was beautiful and cosy. Will definitely be back!

Excellent meal and very good service, the booths are comfortable and the ambience is superb. No loud music, you can go with a group of friends and family and enjoy each other's company! Also good for couples. The kulcha stands out for me but there's dishes to suit every taste.

Unbelievable food. The best Papadi chaat and cheesecake I've ever had. We also had the lamb biryani which was melt in the mouth and incredibly flavourful. The aubergine bartha was also a highlight. I wish I took more photos!

Salty food here, was very busy and service not great

The dosa was so tasty. Would be going again...soon!

Absolutely, no doubt about it, superb End.

If you’re looking for a special treat and you’re in the mood for some southern Indian cuisine, then you gotta come here! We had one day left in London before flying home to Los Angeles and my daughter had a craving and suggested we try this place! On short notice, we were able to grab a late seating at 7:45pm and this place was still hopping with locals having a grand old time! Kamal was our server and he was quite knowledgeable of the dishes and had some wonderful recommendations that we were lucky enough to have followed. We were hungry and adventurous so we tried a little bit of everything. Of all the items we tried and loved, a few items really stuck out! You MUST order these! 1. The Summer Chat is a must as it was a refreshing salad with delicious tomatoes, burrata cheese and cantaloupe! 2. The Flaky Flat Bread-Hot & Delicious 3. The Grilled Asparagus-Very Flavorful 4. The Mangalore Bun & Crab Sukkha (Be sure to tear the bun and stuff crab in it to experience ultimate “Boss Level” taste! 5. Lamb Rump-Cooked to Perfection! 6. The Pahli Hill Chicken Tikka-Yummy! 7. Saag Paneer-Ties Everything Together 8. For Dessert: Carrot Cake “Halwa” with Ice Cream 9. Also for dessert: Mango Cheesecake Kamal was a great server. He was quick, efficient and with a sharp sense of humor. I feel that without his suggestions and honest opinion, we wouldn’t have chosen some of the dishes….we would have completely missed out! We will definitely be coming back here again next year when we’re back in London and will look for Kamal again! Thank you Kamal & Pahli Hill!

Best Indian food I’ve ever had! The padadi chaat, and chicken curry are a must try! The ambience was a tad bit cluttered and load at times due to the acoustics of the building. So try to sit down stairs if possible. Overall I would recommend this 10 times out of 10! There is a reason they are recognized by The Michelin Guides!!!

I had an absolutely wonderful evening at Pahli Hill, celebrating my 60th birthday. We were lucky enough to be served at the Chef's Counter, and everything about the evening was truly memorable. Avi and his team were so friendly and welcoming, and happy to talk through the dishes and explain what they were doing. The cocktails and the food were without exception beautifully presented and the flavours were fresh and amazing. Thank you so much again for a hugely enjoyable evening.

We were craving for dosa since months. Have eaten it in many restaurants across London but didn’t like it that much!! We had the best dosas here at Pahli Hill. A huge crispy dosa, with delicious sambhar, potatoes and two chutneys. Everyone were so friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Mango cheesecake was perfect, delectable!!I must add for me personally, when we sat down the server asked us - if we wanted water on our tables (never in London I have been asked this) he also got ice cubes and lemon slices. So it felt like India, thanks so much to him for being this nice and a good server. Although it was pricey, it was all worth it at the end. I would highly recommend it to others I know. Thanks so much for your hospitality, amazing food and great staff.

Really delicious fresh and authentic Indian food (not a 'curry house'). Good value set menu for lunch. Would definitely go back.

Amazing cocktails, great food but noisy and cramped. The cocktails are great and make sure you ask for the Bandra Bhai menu if you are dining in the restaurant upstairs. There are some exclusive choices in this and would particularly recommend the Yuzu. The food is also great but maybe could do with some more vegetarian options and clearer marking of them. Not very vegan friendly. The space is quite cramped and so it gets very very loud! Difficult to hold a conversation at peak times.

The place is very cosy and nice, food great and staff super kind (in particular our waitress Josila). I really recommend it

We loved this place. The food was absolutely amazing. Such great flavours. We will be back very soon. Highly recommend.

Great place to enjoy a fantastic dinner. Highly recommend the tasting menu, it was out of this world.

Stumbled into this place at 8 pm with clients after a work event and no booking. Staff bent over backwards ro make us feel welcome, service was great and the quality of food was exceptional. Every dish was faultless, cracking place I couldn't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back

Thank you Yash for your wonderful service

Every dish was delicious and freshly prepared in the kitchen you can see from the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Wonderful dishes prepared in traditional ways. We had a group if 6 and shared starters and main dishes. Veal, chicken, squid, and more. Curry was very well prepared. Biryani was well done as well. Also had a hibiscus tea that was extraordinary. The carrot halwa was amazing.

Went a couple years ago when this place was new and wasn't disappointed: decent Indian fare 😋

This is a quirky underground cocktail bar in Fitzrovia modelled as a tribute to Indian smugglers of the 70s. The walls are full of giant portraits of shady looking men but the place also has a nice cosy vibe. There is live music in the evenings which was really nice. I thought that the food was better than the cocktails. Overall, it is a cosy cocktail bar with an interesting vibe and great food.

Excellent staff and service all around. The drinks were tasty and well crafted. Our dinner was absolutely delicious. This place is a gem. I will be thinking about this meal for many years to come.

A gem. Book ahead to be sure of a space.

I went to Pahli Hill for lunch with some friends more than a year ago, but I noticed that some of the dished in the lunchtime special tasted much better when I went back yesterday. There was also a greater portion size. Ali's service was also very good. Thus, perfect score.

Incredible experience, we had a lovely dinner and thanks to Josila we picked the best dishes on the menu, we’ll be back 100%

We were looking forward to the cocktails but turned out to be a let down as they tasted like syrup & lemonade, food was over priced and tasteless, this was not your authentic Indian food! I am sorry but the whole evening was a let down

The food is rubbish. The cocktail is rubbish all chemical mixers nothing real, hardly any alcohol was put in, the cheap very tiny Ikea glass they have been using to save money by serving a small glass for £13 no presentation on drinks as well as food for main dish costs £34.99.The atmosphere was dull down in the basement . Would not recommend to anyone.

A new experience for me. The lamb was magical

We came on the advice of Michelin. Very spicy cuisine!!! Impossible to eat the starters. At 9:30 p.m. he dims the lights and turns on the air conditioning, so we can leave quickly! Very disappointed ! And not cheap!

Food is extraordinary! One of the best indian street food I've tasted. Cocktails aren't anything special. It's an expensive place of course but food is worth it

The service and atmosphere was pretty good. decent vegetarian options. The starters (especially the papdi chat) were very good. The Paper Dosa and accompaniments lacked flavour and it wasn't worth the price. The atmosphere is really nice and service was quite good as well.

Excellent indian restaurant! The food tasted great. It was a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. Also the staff were kind and friendly. According to a friend of mine who lived in India for several years, it seemed a little modern Indian but they served authentic dishes as well. As a Michelin bib gourmand, the price was reasonable for the quality of food and service, although it's not cheap of course.

Great food but unfortunately the service could have been a better. Waiter was quite forgetful and slow to pick up our plates / follow up with dessert. Really nice atmosphere.

It was the first Indian fine dine place we tried other than street food and it was really good. Since we were not familiar with the menu, we asked the waiters for help in choosing and we loved every dish they suggested. The yoghurts that we suddenly come across in meals provide incredible relief, they are like a surprise hidden in the meal. We had a lovely evening eating great food surrounded by warm people. See you again!

Super food and super service. Highly recommended

Excellent dining experience!! Delicious food!

Decided to try this restaurant as the menu looked very interesting. The food was delicious, particularly the pork starter; however if you want the evening to be absolutely splendid, ask to sit at a table where Kamal will be your waiter. He is brilliant, we had such a laugh with him all evening. He was very attentive without being over bearing. The food was worth the visit, as well as the wine, but Kamal made the whole experience excellent.

My husband and I came for the tasting menu, it was delicious. We really enjoyed all the courses. My favourite was the Crab bun and the Lamb. The cocktails were amazing as well. The staff were so nice and knowledgeable and gave us descriptions of each course. It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it if you enjoy different flavours. We felt totally spoilt for the evening.

We went for dinner with a few friends and so managed to share a lot of dishes. We really enjoyed everything that we ate . The portions were large and so tasty and fresh . The atmosphere was lovely , the staff were very friendly and helpful , Francis took his time to help and advise us . Cocktails were amazing , we hope to return and sample deserts as none of us could make space for one this time !

Visited as a family and we had an amazing evening. Food was delicious and inventive, not your usual Indian offering. Would highly recommend.

So happy we found this restaurant! The food is amazing. It's not your typical Indian food with curries only. The depth of flavor in the food is wonderful, with a mix of spices and herbs that makes every dish unique. We tried the Tasting Menu and it was a great experience. The service is also great - Francis, especially, is very attentive and friendly. The space is warm and cozy, but there's plenty of room between the tables so you don't sacrifice your privacy. We will be going back every time we visit London!

A wonderful Tasting Menu experience enjoyed Saturday 6th April. I appreciated a phone call beforehand to ask about allergies and totally forgot to mention we had a gluten free and one pregnant dietary requirement. This was politely and professionally handled when we arrrived by Francis, and the meal including all the substitutions were absolutely amazing. We all enjoyed a flavoursome cocktail. For those not drinking it wasn’t any loss; the cocktails were flavoursome and enjoyable. We all had 2 each! It was some of the best indian cuisine we had all eaten! We had dishes such as asparagus with yoghurt, spicy pork, a hearty chicken curry, beautifully cooked lamb and beef slivers with sauce and the desserts! Normally overly sweet, we mere presented with the lightest and fluffiest cheesecake, mango sorbet and carrot halwa. By the end of the meal we were full of praise at the pace, size of portions, attentive staff and overall experience. I think I’ve just found my favourite Indian in London. A special thanks to Francis for his support; he is ever present on the floor ensuring you had a good time. His attention to detail with a sense of humour was refreshing and set a lovely tone from the moment we arrived.

Well what can I say. A splendid experience. Kamal was the best hostess ever. Catered to all our need. He was so entertaining. He should be a comedian as a side kick. Really loved his energy and enthusiasm. The food was Devine. Everything he advised to order was bang on. We will be returning. Louisa was such a lovely individual and is an asset to the company.

Incredible food, very pleasant and helpful staff. The atmosphere is unpretentious and the food absolutely amazing. Best Indian food I have had in years!! Very reasonable prices too! What more can you ask from a restaurant???

A fabulous meal, each dish was delicious. Particularly, the Kulcha with mushroom & truffle was spectacular, perfectly balanced with a kick from the Birds Eye chilli. The Bottle Gourd Kofta had a lovely saffron flavour, and was paired well with the flaky parota and spongy sourdough roti. Will come again!

Don’t normally write reviews but for the price you paying to eat there the food is absolutely nothing exciting. £32 for a curry and they say to share but there is not enough meat for sharing. All meat and fish portions are small but put on big plates with big piles of veg so it looks like there’s more. Servers dont know the dishes and couldn’t tell us what was being given to our table. 2 of our starters never arrived manager told us he will give us something free yet we got charged for the starters and nothing complimentary. Overall bad experience. Cocktails are very good and only thing that kept us there for the duration. When we left they took 15 minutes to find our jackets. Would recommend the bar downstairs for drinks only.

Low quality food - kofta tasted as if made with chemicals. Very average food but priced like a Michelin star restaurant. Atmosphere was like that of a fast food chain. Avoid

Best fish curry I have ever eaten. Great service, excellent across the board!

The store manager seems very friendly, but during desserts, he accidentally brought three desserts out instead of one, and when we told him about it, he said if we don’t like them, he’ll not charge them and he ended up charging them even if we didn’t touch two of them. Also consider that we had already made a £400 bill for a party of

The store manager seems very friendly, but during desserts, he accidentally brought three desserts out instead of one, and when we told him about it, he said if we don’t like them, he’ll not charge them and he ended up charging them even if we didn’t touch two of them. Also consider that we had already made a £400 bill for a party of 6.

Staff were too attentive, to the point it was annoying as they were coming to our table every 5-7 minutes for no reason. Food was overpriced, £7 for the Khakhra which was basically one poppadom broken up into 4/5 pieces. £32 for a chicken curry which wasn’t even enough for one person and had 3 small pieces of thigh meat in it. There are a lot better high end Indian restaurants nearby!

The service was outstanding. Food was great and the atmosphere was amazing. Lovely place for a dinner with friends or a birthday. The staff are very attentive and will assist anything they can, great work. The decor was nice as well which helps the atmosphere.

Excellent quality ingredients and thoughtful and tasty food. Authentic with locally sourced food where possible.

Visited Friday evening. Food was faultless and our waiter was super attentive and polite. Really grateful for great food and service.

Delicious and the service was great. I recomend sitting downstairs.

We finally got to experience Pahli Hill. Everything was first rate starting with the level of service from all of the staff, then moving onto the food which was perfectly presented and packed with flavour. The personal food suggestions from the staff were all spot on. I’ve already recommended Pahli Hill to quite a few people. A new personal favourite.

I was so excited to try Pahli Hill- unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. Starting with the good, the mango and apple cocktails were excellent (I would return for these) and our starters were rather good (pork shoulder and crab). Service was okay- some servers were better than others and there were times it took a while for anyone to come check on us. Sadly, the mains were disappointing. We had the dosa and the monkfish— the dosa was more like a starter than a main and the flavours were only okay, the monkfish tasted and smelled EXTREMELY fishy in a way I’ve never experienced monkfish taste. We were very sad because the meal did start off strong but at the high price point, it certainly wasn’t worth it for the average to below average mains.

The food was fantastic - really interesting flavours, cooked to perfection. We went for the Chef’s menu with paired wines, and the quality of the wine pairings was also exceptional. Huge thanks!

Lovely restaurant. Food amazing. Wine delicious. Staff Lovely.

We visited on Saturday and sat at the Chefs table with the tasting menu. Absolutely perfect night. The food was incredible, and there was plenty! Avi gave us an overview of each dish as they arrived, and he was really friendly. The service was second to none, everyone was great. We also opted for the wine pairing which I'd recommend, the sommelier talked us through each pairing. Would definitely recommend.

Right, here we go ! Review of another Indian restaurant in the highly competitive central London area where there are already hundreds of restaurants serving good top Indian cuisine. Just keeping in mind that Gymkhana has recently been awarded 2 Michelin stars. So came here with very high expectations. I have to say overall I was disappointed. I come from New Delhi and hence the food has to be very good for me to really enjoy and like it. We ordered the squid to start and then followed it with Dal Makhni / Aubergine / Chargrilled Lamb / chicken curry. Everything was decent bearing in mind that chicken curry was £32/- and Lamb dish was £30/- plus. These are pretty expensive prices keeping in mind Dishoom serves a chicken curry for £16 and Dal for £8.90/- Overall the food is decent but in my opinion not as good as the other competitors serving Indian food in Mayfair area. I don’t want to name individual restaurants better than Pali Hill. The carrot Halwa with ice cream In desserts and as quite good and I enjoyed that. Meal for 2 was £169/- ( with 1 beer and 1 glass of wine ) Verdict - 4/5

Service was very nice, however food was very overpriced. Mango cocktail: 5/5 refreshing drink! Papadi Chaat: 3/5 very flavourful but nothing special Truffle kulcha: 1/5 greasy and too spicy, cannot taste the truffle at all and the dish didn’t really bring out the flavour of mushrooms… major disappointment Steamed seabass: 3/5 portion is SUPER small for a 32£ dish… it tasted good but it really wasn’t worth it Dosa: 2/5 again, 21£ is insanely overpriced for an ordinary dosa… there really was nothing special about it that makes it worth the price
