Tried the seafood and non-vegetarian (with wine pairing) taster menu. Certainly prepared the seafood one. Ambience is great, it’s one of the few Kerala restaurants with a Michelin star. Must go for South Indians. Very friendly staff.

This is perfectly nice food. But it's a very long way from Michelen star, I honestly don't know how they got it. Were it a regular restaurant, this is a 4/5 . But at this price and the claimed reputation, it's a 2 / 5. My tomato rice was warm but bland. The chicken fine, but not particularly succulent and the flavours flat and singular. My local Indian takeaway in Cascais, Portugal is better TBH. Which is a shame as I really wanted to love this place.

Myself and my partner dined at Quillon a few months back and I had forgotten to review but I have to say that this was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a restaurant. With starters that were bland and a curry which wasn't any better than you would find in your average Indian restaurant. The price tag of £170 for a basic meal with bad service meant I could only give it a 1 star. Maybe my expectations were high for a Michelin star restaurant but I was severely underwhelmed and over charged. Save your money and go get a ready meal, you'll feel just as satisfied.

Our first Indian experience. We didn't really know what to expect. Had an aperitif upon entering the bar. This was prepared correctly. We got a quiet table for 2 of our choice. The wall had some splashes, it needs to be cleaned sometimes. We were given a choice of 3 menus. Only seafood, mix, veggie. We chose the mixed menu. We got some dips but it was not very well explained how this all worked... 😄. One by one they were tasty but very spicy. At the same time came a leaf soup, equally spicy. Then 3 more dishes with different components. Very tasty. The matching wines were also delicious! Great experience! Price quality really ok!

I’ve dined at over 20 Michelin starred restaurants and this one is the worst of them. Food was served while I was away to the washroom. The only drinks We ordered was one sparkling water and one distilled and they could still the mistake by giving us only distilled water. The presentation of dishes was dull and the taste was lack of excitement. However, £50-60 for lunch is rather cheap for the whole package.

Eating at Quilon is sheer unalloyed pleasure. The food is a treat for the tastebuds. The ambience is relaxed and transports you to a household in the ancient kingdom of Quilon in Southern India. The staff are friendly but professional, with nothing seemingly a problem; not even an ultra mischievous 5 year old and her clumsy Dad! Vijay, who served us was affable, attentive and a paragon of patience. Chef Sriram and his team are magicians in the kitchen and the long standing association with the Michelin star is of course fully deserved. Would recommend very strongly and go again and again.

My husband and I had mixed feelings about our visit to Quilon. We tried the Non-vegetarian tasting menu. On one had we loved the duck roast, the lamb curry and artichokes! Also thank you for the anniversary cake at the end. It was a sweet gesture which we really appreciated. On the other hand, I was not impressed with the service and overall experience due to following three points: 1) My duck roast had two mustard dips while my husband’s duck roast came with one mustard and other green chutney dip. 2) the glasses in which we were served rasam were not clean. We had to wipe the glass base in order to be able to hold the drink without getting our hands dirty. The server also didn’t explain us what she brought. After looking at our confused faces she just asked “it’s Rasam , you know what it is right?” 3) I had a hair on the bottom of my red velvet cake! See attached photos. The manager was very kind. He apologized and waived off 20 pounds from the total bill to compensate. We had come to Quilon expecting much better quality. Due to this experience, we’ve been offered a 25% discount voucher for next dining experience but I’m not sure if I wanna go back! Will definitely edit my review in case we go back.

The food was quite good, as one would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. We got the seafood tasting menu and quite enjoyed the first few courses. However, Quilon missed the mark with everything else. The cocktails were average, the atmosphere wasn’t ideal - with bright lighting and the music too loud to enjoy a quiet, relaxed meal. Most disappointing were the service and level of hospitality, which were certainly not up to the mark - despite the many staff members flitting around, we were not offered tea or coffee, were ignored for a long time after the dessert service, and generally did not feel like we were well taken care of. Disappointed with the overall experience despite enjoying the food.

Quilon is an outstanding restaurant, perfect for a special occasion or celebration. Food quality is consistently excellent, while the ambience and spacing of the tables also contribute to a pleasant evening. However, it is the service that really makes Quilon stand out as exceptional.

My visit to Quilon left me with mixed feelings. While the restaurant deviates from the typical Indian menu with its Goan-style offerings, it caters predominantly to seafood lovers. As someone less inclined towards seafood, the experience fell short of expectations. The prices, akin to Michelin standards, felt steep for what turned out to be a less-than-stellar overall experience. The portions were on the smaller side, and the service, particularly the wait for the bill, was notably average, having said that the lady who saw us off today and offered to put my childrens coats on them was extremely kind and is an asset to the restaurant. Despite some positive aspects like the lamb shank, the lack of a vibrant dining atmosphere leaves room for improvement. For those not enamoured with seafood or Goan cuisine, alternative options may offer a more satisfying Indian Michelin experience in London.

We booked Quilon for our son's birthday lunch. We were told that the menu would be a set menu but we were not disappointed. The service was top class and the food spread was quite good. The affair was mostly South Indian and tasted authentic. Giving 4 stars for the atmosphere as I expected a bit more from a Michelin Star restaurant, but the food and service were top notch and hence 5 stars for them.

I've reviewed Quilon previously here on TA. And both times with praise. On our third visit the praise remains, even though we did not quite experience the same absolute joy in every respect. Food still delicious, especially the fish/shellfish dishes. However, the menu could be a bit updated. We lacked the "surprise" feeling and felt that Quilon could do with some innovative thoughts in the kitchen. Service works fine - even though sometimes a bit "quirky". No shortage of staff, so it's more a matter of too many people on the floor than the other way around... It is expensive and during the inflation period the world has gone through recent years, the prices are not going down. It felt a little too expensive this time. In any case, the Quilon deserves its Michelin star. But should perhaps give a careful thought how to keep it in the future...

The food here is so incredible that I had a mini Ratatouille moment when I bit into a piece of the masala dosa dipped in sambar and chutney: I was immediately transported back in time to my grandmother's kitchen. The menu is a brilliant interplay of simple south indian flavours within a modern palette composition. It is a fantasy dance where south India meets Italy. My other favourites were: Malabar parotha (incredible layers and served at the perfect temperature), asparagus-coconut starter, mango dip and lastly the dessert (chocolate ganache, pistachio cake and berry sorbet). Chef's kiss!

Had been looking at booking here for some time but with the strange no prices on website and some of the reviews on here , I was hesitant. Today we took the plunge and we’re not disappointed. The restaurant is situated to the side of the Taj hotel .its a pleasant space and as we were the first to arrive , it felt quiet and calm . We choose a booth seat and as no one was opposite at the facing table it felt like private dining . I’m sure this might be a different experience when busy but was good for us. Our servers ( Harshita and Muhamed ) were very welcoming and friendly and helpful with any menu questions . We started with a isodori cocktail - blue curacao, coconut rum , coconut water . A theatrical cocktail with a bubble on top that when burst , releases smoke and the scent of coconut. The taste was as good as it looked . As we are both pescatarian, we were accommodated with a mixture of vegetarian and fish dishes from the two tasting menus : starter of mini popadum style crisps and various dips , a galette with plum sauce , baked halibut, crispy prawns , mango curry , rice and paratha bread . We finished with bibinca , a lovely laminated chocolate pancake tart . We also had a carafe of a cheekily named pinot noir called Fat Bastard! Lol So all in a Michelin starred meal for two with cocktails , wine and coffee for £145 -wonderful! Will definitely be returning soon!

Quilon absolutely deserves its Michelin star. Everything was perfect from walking in the door, the warm greeting, atmosphere and of course the amazing food. Nothing is too much trouble for the team, they explained the menu, the region and how different cuisine is in India. If you haven't been, I would highly recommend it. I was particularly impressed at some of the small touches, they were aware it was our anniversary and there was a small treat from the chef to celebrate, a small thing for them, but a huge thing for us. Well done and keep p the amazing work.

After having great experiences of dining at the Bombay Brasserie, we went to dine at the Quilon (part of the same Taj Group of Hotels) with a lot of expectations! The staff are very courteous, the service is great. The ambience is good too. We were let down though by the vegetarian food. Firstly there are hardly 1 or 2 vegetarian starters and very limited choice on the main course too. Both the vegetarian dishes we ordered were pretty ordinary. They lacked the quality and taste. Not a standard that we expected from a Michelin Star restaurant. It was disappointing. However, there are plenty of non-vegetarian options and the food ordered was liked better. On providing the feedback at the time of dining, one of the key members of staff apologised and removed the vegetarian food charges completely. It was a very appreciative gesture. Not many restaurants do that. Also as it was nice of them to offer a celebratory gesture as it was a special occasion for us. I appreciate the restaurant reaching out to me again asking for a detailed feedback and they have apologised again mentioning that they are taking the feedback very seriously and will act on it.

Lovely dinner experience with great service and delicious Indian cuisine. We stumbled on this restaurant by researching our hotel (Conrad St. James) that we stayed nearby. It so happens that a reservation was available for our final night in the city and we're so glad we decided to dine herem The ambiance is modern, elegant and inviting with lots of seating available. We were looked after by a very nice server and team, who were genuinely warm and welcoming. The menu was explained well and we ended up choosing the sea food tasting menu for the evening. As this restaurant specializes in sea food, it was agreat choice. The food was truly delicious, all courses expertly crafted and prepared. Very impressive, even my wife who typically does not like Indian food, absolutely loved it! We ended up not doing the wine pairing, but sampled some of their cocktails instead. They were very good, especially one called Indian lady. The delicious desert was also part of the course which was enhanced by a special birthday slice for my birthday celebration. Overall, this restaurant is outstanding, definitely up there with some of the best I've been fortunate to dine in. 5/5 Highly recommended.

While we have been here several times in the past, we visited a few weeks ago to relish their seasonal Onam Sadhya. As always, excellent atmosphere and the signature Taj service marked a great experience overall. The sadhya (traditional kerala assortment menu) was served in a carefully curated setting (rasam served in a goblet, dosa folded in to a starter, mattu karuppan boiled rice served as coconut rice etc). The rasam was from out of the world!! I had nearly 6 servings and still couldn’t get enough! The rest of the items were well prepared and carefully chosen to provide a great experience. If one thing they will need to get better at (only marginal room for improvement) is work on the authenticity of some of the main course dishes as felt they were slightly adapted to widen the target audiences. Remember, we never temper with the grand mother’s dish. As they say in Italy, do what you want, but, don’t change the tortellini’s. Else apart, a great experience and their Onam special menu is fabulous. Will certainly get back for the next season.

Great food and the chef can customize the food to your request. There is a chef menu which is particularly good. Staff though should be a bit more friendly and knowledgeable. No real suggestions came up from the staff, which is required since not many people are aware of the Malabari /seafood cuisine. No one asked about any allergies, which can be dangerous with the shell fish being served. Overall, will recommend for a good South Indian, seafood dinner.

We had the non-vegetarian tasting menu everything was amazing. You are overwhelmed with the amount of service and attention paid to the clients. Each dish was presented as an art form and delicious! Even though it was a tasting menu, the dishes were larger then I expected. The spices they use are absolutely incredible! Curry, coriander, Cumin, turmeric, cilantro, mint, I can go on and on! Your taste buds are surprised with something different in every dish! Pricing is incredibly reasonable for a Michelle Star restaurant (Gordan Ramsey, can you use as an example!)!

Overpriced. Was not blown away for this extortionate price. Was a bit deceived by the waiter when only 2 of us wanted starters and he said he would share it over 4 plates but we were instead charged for 4 starters costing more than the main courses! Nice ambiance and friendly service for my mothers birthday celebration, but the food was definitely not worth the money. Found the signature quilon fish curry pretty bland unfortunately and the lobster was over salted. The prawn curry was one ok dish, being quite flavorful. As we are a family with South Indian origins, we were expecting a lot from this Michelin starred restaurant and were quite disappointed. I would not consider dining here again since there are so many more reasonably priced options that are much tastier!

In a nutshell , Michelin service with a standard curry . The three of us went last night to celebrate a birthday , i wanted a taster menu (£110 per person) but the waiter said we all had to order tasters or its a la carte for us all , it made no sense at all . so we opted a la carte . I have to say the food was super average , we live in North London and the standard and quality of Indian food is at its highest level with mounting fierce competition all around us the taste of good Indian food is really high in this region. So in comparison we ended up paying alot lot more (£279.00) just for the bells and whistles. We booked this place as it was a Micheline star but im sorry the food did not match the status . But the level of service was top notch .

Being an Epicure premium member had a poor experience. Found a fly in my drink which might happen but appalled by the reaction of wait staff after that. Taj needs to pull up socks. Staff should know hospitality and menu.

What a fantastic restauraunt! It is Michelin star treatment all the way. I am a big hot curry eater and this restaurants use of spices blew my my mind. The menu is a coastal menu but I decided to eat the slow cooked lamb one of thier specialties. I cant ever remember tasting spice this good. Thank you vergy much. Simon folland. I will return.......

⭐️One star Quilon⭐️Good Indian food, I ordered the non-vegetarian Tasting Menu ~ There are three appetizer sauces on the right in the picture 1, the one on top is lemon peel 🍋, super sour! The one down there is extremely spicy! Thanks to my favorite Mango Lassi for coming to the rescue [laughing] The first dish is just right. The green one on the right is broccoli pancake with plum sauce, and the crab cake in the middle. Needless to say, the dark red one on the left is beet pancake with fried skin. It's crispy, but actually soft and glutinous when you bite it. It's served with mango sauce, which is sweet and sour. My favorite is Lemon Sole🐟. The fish fillet in the third picture is green because it has been marinated in a sauce containing a lot of coriander. The fish was made, soaked in spices, and then fried, and then took a bite of the Thousand-Floor Pancake. The waiter even asked me jokingly if I wanted another fish [face covering] followed by a cup of tomato soup with a lot of spices added, which I bit my teeth into. After drinking this glass of poisonous wine🍷the main course is neither praise nor criticism, but it is amazing, curry chicken breast, garlic fried asparagus and snow peas, lamb fried fragrant rice, the white one is a yogurt sauce sprinkled with a few pomegranates and diced mango; Pre- The desert is passion fruit and blackberry mousse, and the dessert is pistachio cake and ice cream, which is nothing special. Finally, the dinner ends with a pot of Darjeeling tea☕️

The Beer and Curry tasting menu was incredible. Beautifully presented courses that tasted even better. Very good value as well.

Great Southern Indian Food. Southern Indian restaurants are hard to find, This one was recommended to us by a good friend who is from India, as being one of his top two favorite Indian restaurants in London. We tried it and it did not dissapoint. We got the tasting menu which allowed us to try lots of things. Be sure to get the lamb on the bone if you go. They have three different tasting menus--Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian, and Seafood. We got the non-Vegetarian menu. Exceptional service. Great bottle of wine (though paired wines is an option). Great pricing. Elegant . We would definitely go back, and we have already recommended it to friends.

I was really blown away — exquisite food, and truly excellent service. The rasam drink, crab cakes, paratha and laventini cocktail stuck out in particular. I highly recommend Quilon, and will return. In photos: the fruit salad and laventini cocktail

I had a booking with Veeraswamy but I had to cancel it as they couldn’t accomodate the extra people that confirmed very late in the day. So I booked here quite last minute. The service was excellent and the staff were really welcoming and helpful. Now, don’t get me wrong, the food was nice. But compared to other Michelin Indian restaurants I have been to it really wasn’t of the same level. Just lacked the wow factor of both presentation and impact. Worst was lobster bisque. I felt it should be reduced another 20% minimum and lacked salt. If it had been a regular visit to a regular Indian restaurant I’d have said it was very good. But when you’re spending over £100 per person in a Michelin environment I expect more

L'India è vastissima e la sua cucina varia da regione a regione. Questo ristorante si caratterizza per propri piatti della cucina sud occidentale dell'India, rivisitati. Buono il risultato.

Happened upon this place while walking around London and decided to stop in for dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the jackfruit biryani as well as the starter of chutneys and sauces. Dinner was excellent.

Highly recommend the seafood tasting menu you get small portions of everything but be prepared it takes several hours to finish all the courses. The fish curry was probably my favorite but it was all very good.
