Pukka Bar in City of London, Westminster

Ottima posizione, buon cibo, servizio nella norma (qualche sorriso in più aiuterebbe..), sala molto rumorosa, mise en place non adeguata al livello di ristorante, conto e rapporto qualità prezzo non adeguato. Al momento della prenotazione ti chiedono se preferisci la sala ristorante o la sala bar, noi eravamo nella sala ristorante e ci è stato assegnato un tavolo defilato all'ingresso del locale a sinistra, ma con il locale pieno è difficile conversare dal rumore che c'e. Non sono ammessi i bambini e la spesa minima prevista per la cena (specificato più volte al momento della prenotazione, è di 60 sternine a testa). Nella sala bar l'atmosfera era decisamente migliore.

From a warm greeting from aga to excellent service from Mario great service. Superb creative food. Great papdom crudités starter. All food was beautifully presented in a pretty dining room in st. James. Reasonable pricesbut expensive wine. Nothing changes all good.

Booked Sunday brunch for a family birthday, we were really looking forward to our first visit here. We were extremely disappointed to say the least. The vegetable bhajias laced with chilli powder, drowned out any other flavours. Veg samosas underwhelming and lack flavour. Prawn curry was far too spicy and inedible, the spicy sauce was so overpowering it burned your mouth. One of our party of 4 had extreme tummy upset after the meal. Would not recommend or revisit. We did email a complaint which was greeted with a standard not interested attitude. Zero customer service.

Had an amazing meal today at Chutney Mary....came here after a great meal at Veeraswamy a couple of months ago and the standards were exactly as I hoped. Will be booking Amaya soon to complete the trilogy.

Excellent night out at chutney Mary last night. Reliably great food and service and interesting cocktails. A truly memorable evening!

Candlelight atmosphere. Service was ok. The menu is short but extensive. Every dish was well prepared, flavourful and tasty. Wine glasses should perhaps be updated and the spicy dishes pointed out on the menu.

At Chutney Mary, the food is mouth-watering and the prices are eye-watering! But good food and good service are worth it. My starter was Fish Pepper Tikka (sea trout). My main dish was Delhi Bhuna Gosht (slow-cooked osso buco lamb) with steamed rice and garlic naan. I finished off my meal with Mango & hibiscus sorbet and Malabar vanilla bean ice cream.

GET THE BLUEBERRY COSMO in a sky high glass and live it up! Our friends picked this beautiful restaurant because it is Michelin and served Indian cuisine. Finly set tales nicely spaced apart. Get ready for the spice of life.

Food was great BUT server was very sick and handling food and silverware. Why are managers not as concerned with customer safety just as important as food safety. My server was sneezing and uncontrollably coughing. Was a very uncomfortable night and had to ask to move tables

The food was lovely! Maybe I am a snob, but when I order a £160 bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape wine, I expect a proper full bodied crystal wine glass. Alas, they served the same wine as they did regular white wine. It was not even crystal and looked like Ikea wine glasses. I had to ask for a “proper” wine glass to go with my wine. The server was so condescending and then brought it for me. Dude, if you know wine as well as I do, why didn’t you bring me the proper glass of wine to begin with? And lose the attitude! How often do you drink a £160 bottle of wine?! If you are seated at a table for two, or one (like I was), don’t expect white linen table cloth. WTF?! Is the incremental cost so prohibitive that you can’t slap on a tablecloth for a table for two/one so that we don’t feel inferior to our neighbours seated at a table of 4 or more? Bad enough you seat us at the edge/in the corner, can’t you make us feel less conspicuous?!

I haven’t been here for ages and for the life of me I don’t know why. It was a great experience. Both us has food allergies, so the Maitre d’ came to check when we arrived. He was assiduous in doing this, something we both appreciated. He made suggestions based on this - no arguments from either of us, it was great. I had the Chilli Glazed Paneer Tikka to start - absolutely fantastic. My friend had the Goa Crab Cakes - he’d been salivating over them all day. We both had the Cochin Prawn Curry for main, although that was a tough choice, there were some other dishes that really caught my eye. We had Dahl and the veg as sides. It was all beautifully cooked. I must go again soon.

Been here a few times now for dinner and the brunch. Food is great and a good choice but to be blunt their mark up on drinks is now beyond belief!! £8 for a bottle of still water! And sparkling was similarly marked up! Service was good and love the ambience but this may be our last visit!

I would love to have gone, but the restaurant's ridiculous and discriminatory dress code means that it was not possible. I quote from their website ' Smart & elegant. No sportswear; No shorts (men). No torn or scruffy clothes. Yes, no shorts (men). In the height of summer, in London. Ludicrous and discriminatory. I even rang to check that they were actually serious and - yes they are. I will be reporting them.

One of the best ( maybe the best?) Indian restaurants in the UK. Great dining room, attentive but industrious service. But top credits go to the kitchen- the lobster tikka was stunning.

Arrogant and condescending staff, both waiters and manager. In addition, despite premium pricing impossible to omit ingredients, which, in addition to poor service, suggests that food is not prepared fresh. If you are looking for premium service and premium food for premium price, avoid this place. Seriously overrated.

exotic food served with so much of imaginative garnish and accompaniments Price N portions are abs values for money I saw that almost all guest were local Londoners and overseas visitors enjoying the Indian food which is not their native food

As vegetarians, it’s not that easy to find a good fine dining experience worth the cost! Chutney Mary’s menu - both food and drink, cover a range of tastes. They also have good vegan options! The portion sizes are also very good. The ambience is superb and the staff are friendly as well. Definitely recommend to anyone considering a fine dining experience in London!

Dîner organisé par mon épouse pour un cadeau de noël. Première surprise il est precisé qu un dress code s applique avec une tenue plutot habillée.. il n en est rien les autres clients sont habillés tout à fait normalement. Table reservee a 21 h on nous refuse le choix du menu gastronomique en 6 plats qui ne serait servi que jusqu’à 20 h … aucune precision a ce sujet lors de la resa !! Nous sommes très decus evidemment. Le menu Tasting n est servi que pour l ensemble de la table et notre demande de modification d un plat de viande par autre chose pour mon épouse nous est refusée. Les plats que nous prenons sont délicieux mais terriblement épicés sans info a ce sujet. Addition très épicée egalement au final Très honnêtement cadre exceptionnel diner pas du tout a la hauteur du prix demandé Premier avis negatif pour moi depuis des années sur le site

Outrageously expensive for very average food. Fun party atmosphere. I can’t imagine why any reviewer would call this fine dining because it’s a pretty simple place although you can go dressed up and feel quite comfortable. London is expensive but the food here is just beyond any reason in cost. Of course they have a great location in Saint James..?

Chutney Mary hits the mark on food, service and ambiance. It's just one of our favorite places to dine!

We ate here on our last night in London. The food was delicious and service was very attentive as well. I don’t really like having to give a credit card deposit but I guess those of us that would cancel in time have to pay the price.

Pukka Bar is part of the restaurant known as Chutney Mary’s. It’s really great with super service and the cocktails are excellent. Recommended.

Online booking policy not clear on kids and the manager knew about it. I would understand not allowing kids in evening but during lunch as-well ? Is this not discrimination against children?

This swanky watering hole an easy icecube throw from St. James palace serves favorite Raj beverages as well a panoply of more modern fare. Large windows allow excellent people watching - but passersby can see you too if that's an issue.

Early to our booking was not any issue as we had time to enjoy a martini at Pukka Bar. Worth dropping by just for. drink.

James was the most incredible detective I've ever seen. Incredible evening. 10/10

Now I see why this 0lace is always booked up. Really good food in a lovely setting in the heart of London.

Really nice ambience, but the best (pleasant) surprise was the food. We ordered a lot of small plates and a host of main course dishes. And we were blown away!

Lots and lots of yum! Small little gem, we found on our adventure. Locals told us to come, so we did and it was delicious.

High end Indian cuisine. Menu can change a bit. The usual dishes but some different ones as well. The presentation is immaculate.

I know its St James & London, but its also a curry. We had the fixed menu. Taste, presentation and service all good.

One of the rare bars in Mayfair which has always got action on. Try some of the most exclusive Cocktails and bar snacks. It even serves full restaurant menu on the adjacent tables.

We went to the bar before dining in Chutney Mary and I must admit I couldn’t work out whether it was the anteroom to the restaurant or was trying to be a location in its own right. I’m not sure if they know themselves. Perhaps we got them on a bad night but service was sloppy and some drinks were forgotten. Sorry, it just didn’t float my boat.

lovely seating area and great food in small servings so that a number of dishes may be tried. This is a terrific restaurant with elegance and informality

This was the front bar of The lovely Chutney Mary's, With very comfy seating and window couches and a very special wooden table, it was excellent. You can even eat here if you wish.

The Pukka bar was full too. They serve full meal with same menu. very elegant seating with my favorite window table.

Wonderful cocktails, exiting house cocktails plus variety of classics. had some pre-meal drinks worth trying for.

Il contesto è curato e accogliente, ma le pietanze deludono le aspettative. Essendo in gruppo, abbiamo avuto modo di assaggiare molti dei piatti del menù, ma nessuno è stato davvero degno di nota, né all'altezza del conto finale.

Had drinks here prior to dinner in the restaurant. Lovely welcoming staff, and the most delicious spicy cashew nuts I have ever tasted. Could have happily sat there for hours.

Pre And post meal drinks at the Pukka Bar were a treat with excellent cocktails and some wonderful spirits all served by great waiters

On my last few trips to London my body clock was a bit off at the start so I visited the bar at Chutney Mary's for a lighter late lunch and a drink or two when I first arrived. It is a comfortable and attractive bar area just off the main dining room and the bar menu features a lighter version of some classic dishes that are delicious and quite satisfying. They make a non-alcoholic cucumber Collins that is incredibly refreshing.

Came here for a quick drink before dinner. They have a great list of cocktails, spirits and wine. I went for the Raspberry Cosmopolitan! Best Cosmopolitan I have ever had!

Semplicemente perfetto locale curato e personale efficiente.Fantastico il bar tender Giacomo drink ottimi! Complimenti. Consigliassimo!

Lovely Bar, delightful space, beautifully decorated with a stunning large wooden table running through that you can sit at individually or with a group to enjoy a smaller plate of food than is served in the restaurant., they also do sandwiches at lunch, and serve breakfast. Drinks are served in beautiful stemware.

Go there anytime and they are so happy to welcome you and offer you with friendly advise on the best drinks and dishes. They have a fabulous Bar Menu through out the day

Quick service & lovely surroundings for a first date. We had pink tattinger with mini samosas, onion bhajis and prawn pops. Delicious!

A very comfortable and hep place to be. Nice place for a relaxed drink. They serve a very good selection of bar menu there. Try the Golden fried prawns, Yummy !!

Wonderful space and electric atmospher. Excellent cocktails: try Rangpore Gimlet, Kesar martini- Sublime taste

Wonderful Cocktails. Great variety of food too. Very good atmosphere. Posh setiing. Place to be seen with stylish crowd around you.
