The Kokum in Chiltern

Exceptional Indian Restaurant, not the run of the mill dishes but authentic recipes made by their own chef, which is so rare nowadays. We had a lovely chicken and lamb curry last night, starting off with their speciality Himalayan Cocktail, not too be missed. It’s a little off the beaten track but well worth a trip out to them. They are even doing authentic Indian Breakfasts for those who are daring over the weekend.

Highly recommend this place for the true dining experience beyond just food. All staff was very friendly and attentive. The ambience of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a perfect evening. I highly recommend Kokum for anyone looking for great food and excellent service.

This is a hidden gem, and should be far better known. Delicious meal, and not as expensive as it deserved to be. Especially liked the chili paneer.

Great food the service was fantastic had a lovely waiter. I recommend the chicken tikka masala and the chicken lollipop

Amazing place for a Birthday Celebration! We celebrated a birthday at The Kokum, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, from personalized service to helping with the cake. The food was fantastic—everyone raved about the mashroom matar , and there were plenty of great options for all tastes. The lively atmosphere and attention to detail made it an unforgettable evening. If you’re looking for a great place to host a birthday party with excellent food and service, The Kokum is the way to go!

Great Spot for a Family breakfast! We had an amazing breakfast at The Kokum with the whole family. The breakfast is available on weekend mornings which is perfect me. Service was quick, and the staff was so accommodating with our kid. We loved the kid-friendly options, especially the idli and Paav bhaji were ultimate and the portions were perfect. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it an enjoyable experience for both adults and children. Definitely a go-to spot for a fun family meal on Weekend mornings!

The indian cuisines and starters are the best👌the taste is superb❤️‍🔥cocktail mocktails are amazing

A hidden gem, worth digging out for the best Indian food in the area. Just the right level of spicing, authentic food served by kind, polite and considerate staff. Totally worth a visit, and I rarely recommend places 😊

Amazing food and worlds best drinks 🍻

I was recommended Kokum and went for the first time last night. Fabulous authentic Indian food with great spicing, little in the way of oil, great portions and first class service. I would definitely go again and have paid far more in designer Indian Restaurants with Michelin stars, for no better food. A real gem this, and worth a visit even if slightly off the beaten track!

We booked an hour before arrival, very helpful, food and service was excellent. We aren’t from the area but would definitely recommend

A wonderful Indian buffet breakfast. There was a good selection of freshly cooked food on offer, it was well presented and all tasted amazing. We were greater with a warm welcome and everyone was friendly. All dishes on offer were explained to us with what ingredients were used and what part of India they came from. The price of the buffet was very reasonable too.

This is the best Indian restaurant in the area without a doubt, prices may be marginally higher but the service and food are always excellent and stand up to the price point comfortably. Well worth multiple visits.

Ordered food from uber eats, chicken chettinad which was looked like butter chicken and tasted chicken like chicken pieces just boiled and dumped in some tomato gravy. no taste , texture and aroma. nothing near to the chicken chettinad which has been ordered.

Food was fantastic and service likewise! A challenging Friday night with kitchen absences handled expertly by Vira and the team. Top tier Indian food and would definitely pop in again when back in the area!

Very very good delicious taste!!! 10/10

Visiting UK from Chicago. We went there to celebrate my daughter’s 6th Birthday with family. Restaurant is impressive in terms of Ambience, lighting and chairs (very upscale). Very friendly staff and food service was top notch. We tried chaat, paneer chilly, Malai kofta, paneer tikka, Egg fried rice and it was finger licking good. Overall, I was very happy and satisfied with food and service. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

We had incredible experience at Kokum on celebrating my granddaughter 6th birthday. The food was outstanding. Hospitality & services was excellent. It is very nice Restaurant not to missed for Indian test . Not to miss it . Thank you Kokum .

Went with the family; loved the food, hospitality and ambience. Will recommend.

Just had food here for a little date night out and we loved it. We were very late with the booking, most places wasn't taking full meal orders at 9 however half 8 they called back and said they're more than happy to have us. Service was very quick and staff were very friendly and polite. The food was stunning, we both loved what we had, mine was a Bhuna curry which felt mild at first but the spice got more intense as the meal went on. We also had spicy potato bhaji which was really nice, fun way to mix it up over just having chips Would definitely recommend!

THE KOKUM offers delicious Indian cuisine in a warm, elegant setting. Excellent service, flavourful dishes, and a cozy ambiance make it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem! The restaurant offers a perfect blend of exquisite Indian cuisine and charming ambience. The decor is elegant, with warm lighting that sets the mood. Each dish bursts with authentic flavors, and the service is impeccable. A must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience!

Excellent starters and curry's. Friendly chat and Indian beer.

Best Food I ever had. Panjabi Kukkad with garlic naan was delicious. Loved it..

Just back from a fabulous long lunch, definitely ‘no curry in a hurry’ we were there for 4 hours; great service and delicious food . We’ll definitely be back! Thanks so much

We started with Cobra on tap which was very good, followed by starters. The chicken lollipops were recommended on past reviews so we chose it, and it did not disappoint. Easily my son’s favourite thing on the menu we had today. The Rajastan Lamb was brilliant - flavoursome and very hot as well. Well cooked Parathas and Naans, as well as rich chutneys with Popadums. An incredibly enjoyable evening which I wholly recommend!

Really excellent food, very nice environment and good service - recommended!

Great experience!! Food is really delicious must visit place.

Food is beyond expectations. It’s so good that one might end up eating double the amount. Celebrated a win here, Must visit.

Really awesome food couldn’t suggest anything else . I went for a celebration quite unknown of this place and to my surprise too good and delicious delicacies , really will be my regular place for sure. Ambience and staff is really welcoming and helpful 💯 Also Tejes was there to make sure we had a great time and thanks to him we did 😁 Kudos to the team …..

I recently dined at The Kokum and had an outstanding experience with my friends! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, the service was flawless, and the Indian cuisine was authentically flavorful. Every dish, from appetizers to desserts, featured a perfect balance of spices and freshness. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall positive vibe. The Kokum is definitely a five-star spot for anyone looking for an exceptional Indian dining experience. Looking forward to dine at Kokum again.

Staff was lovely and welcoming. The food was great and flavouful. They also accommodate very well if you have any requests, very considerate.

Me and my wife have visited up from Kent for a small holiday and decided to eat here as it had excellent reviews and I love Indian food. Well I have to say if this restaurant was close to home I would 100% be a regular! The curry is one of the best I’ve ever had! Everything we had, had its own beautiful unique flavour you won’t find anywhere else and the service was out of this world! 10 out of 10 Would highly recommend to anyone in the area to try this beautiful restaurant!

Went for dinner yesterday with my parents and a 2.5 year old. Definitely the nicest Indian around the area. We don’t usually go to Indian restaurants in this area (being Indian) as it never meets our standards. But they made it spicy for us and food is very tasty. The owners are very friendly and made us feel very welcome, also gave my daughter an orange juice on the house, thanks again! Will definitely return in the future. P.S it’s also Indian owned 👍

We ordered starters and some drinks. The food was great, service was perfect!

Ordered food from Kokam. Absolutely delicious and authentic Indian food. We don't have any Indian authentic restaurant within our vincity in Amersham. Kokam is a pleasant addition to the community. Never fails to disappoint Highly recommend it.

Wonderful restaurant, food and service! Cannot recommend enough. The coriander and chilli naan was particularly delicious. We really enjoyed our evening and will be back! Thank you

It was amazing experience, we enjoyed our evening at Kokum, we will definitely come back again. Keep it up team Kokum

The Kokum restaurant is a lovely place! Has a great atmosphere, food and people. Very thoughtful design in colour of kokum fruit, all the food includes this fruit and it’s a nice detail. Didn’t try anything like it before, it was a great experience, loved it! Recommend the restaurant, but be quick as the special desserts are disappearing in a blink of an eye!

Great choice of food Lots of vegetarian options Apt portions Cosy sitting Very tasty food

This little gem of a restaurant came highly recommended, and we weren't disappointed. Fantastic food, wonderful service , and the best mint chutney in the world! We will return soon.

Had ordered veg kolhapuri and daal makhni from the restaurant. The taste was outstanding. Daal makhani(black lentil) was perfectly creamy with right spices. It is must try dish.

Quite possibly the best indian restaurant for 50 miles. Service from RV was beyond excellent, and the food even better. We had a party of 14 and all served fresh food at the same time, and the taste was excellent. Cannot fault this place at all, free parking outside, friendly service, prices a little high for drinks but you get what you pay for. Sensational. Will be back.

Wowww what a food quality. Anything you order from the menu will have it’s recipe consciously treated with quality and care until its plated and served. All the dishes I ordered were very authentic and tasty. Hatsoff to their chef. I definitely have to mention their dahi poori, Prawn biryani and madras chicken chettinadu. I was bound to order one more dahi poori 🙂. Top class. Keep up the same quality, taste and customer service. Thanks.

Must-see location in Little Chalfont. They provide specialties that have the real kokum flavour. The menu combines Chinese, Maharashtrian, Konkan, and Mughlai cuisine. Tawa Fish Fry and Chilly Dry Chicken are two of my favourite appetisers. Sample their Kokum Fusion beverage. Main dish Garlic Naan or Rice with Kombadi Rassa and Lal Maas. I look forward to try more in future from this restaurant. Commendable hostess and service from their to the point.

Arvi and Nirmit provided excellent service. Food was extremely good quality and we will definitely come back again

We had a lovely friends get together dinner at Kokum last night. The staff were really attentive yet left us to enjoy our evening. The food was well presented and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and inviting. Everyone was pleasantly surprised at the final bill as it turned out to be a good value. Overall a fun evening out in a local restaurant.

The restaurant is lovely, but the food and service wasn’t great. Our mains took almost 45 mins to arrive, and it wasn’t what we expected.

We went for dinner a few months ago and it was absolutely delicious. Ordered our first takeaway this evening - and it was the best delivered curry I think we've ever had. Delicious food and sustainable packaging too, which we haven't seen before. Brilliant restaurant - delighted to have it near us.

Food was delivered cold was not freshly prepared. Fed this back to staff, however, they were unwilling to accept the feedback. Food took about 40-50mins to arrive. Would not recommend.

I heard that this restaurant in a residential area was recommended by a Sri Lankan friend, so I had been curious about it for a long time and finally went there! After reading the reviews, I thought Chicken lollipop, butter chicken, and biryanis were a must, so I ordered them. I wanted to try lamb too, so I asked about something on the menu that wasn't too spicy, and ordered Palak Gosht with spinach. Everything was so delicious! 😋 The two of us couldn't eat it all, so we had it wrapped for us and took it home. The staff's response was also good. Fully air-conditioned, so you'll be fine even on hot summer days!

The spot is great for a night out , bit out of way but was worth it - enjoyed it. Good option for vegetarian and vegan, service was great

The food was delicious, and the overall experience was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed the flavours and the hospitality.

Wife and I went for a very late meal one Saturday and it was great. No long waits, and very fresh food.

A friend of ours introduced the Kokum to us a few months ago, since then we become big fans of their delicious food. Had a several takeaways and dinning in, both eat in and takeaway food were delicious!!! I tried their prawn Biryani tonight with the side dish of baby Okras. Both dishes were fresh, well seasoned and absolutely delicious!!! If you are like me whom prefer food with fresh and quality ingredients, do give the Kokum a try when you are in the area!

Great restaurant, great food and excellent portion sizes. Service was good and attentive will definitely be returning

I enjoyed lunch today with my wife and 2 friends. The atmosphere was relaxed. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The food was all tasty and well presented. Time passed without my realising and I could have stayed another hour. Kokum has left me in a pleasant mood. Thank you.

Really good food, music was slightly too loud but maybe that’s me being old! Tasty and plenty, we had 4 starters between 5 and then 3 rice and 3 naan with 5 mains. Plenty for 5 of us. V enjoyable!!

Excellent taste of the food. The taste from this place is like real Indian restaurants unlike some Bangladeshi and Pakistani cuisine restaurants. I always order from this place whenever I crave for Indian curries. Highly recommended.

Very nice restaurant, good atmosphere, the staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing.

I have been here few times for a takeaway and never disappointed with the food. Always wanted a good Indian takeaway since moved to Amersham. Finally found one!! Keep up the good work

Lovely dinner with friends. Tasty, original dishes and very helpful and friendly team.

Really enjoyed the food. Well presented and tasty. Will my go to for takeaways too from now on!

The food was, a bit blend and sweet. Chilly paneer was good. But the lady manager was rude and trying to make up her own rule, that we don't let our customers order starters without main course. We did book the table through an App where we got the 20 percent discount and that lady was like no we can't give you discount. She was really bad with her tactics.

Lovely staff, great food and service. Definitely recommend and would 100% go back. Very accommodating to food allergies in our group which was super reassuring!!

We booked a table for 11 of us on a busy Saturday evening to celebrate my husband and son’s birthdays. I don’t say this lightly in the slightest, but the food coupled with the service and attitude of the staff was by far the worst I have ever experienced. Each dish that was served to us, the waiter would rudely tell us to “hold this” and would rudely hand the food item to us, while he placed other dishes onto our table. Clearly, he was not happy working there which initially made me personally feel sorry for him. For this reason, I have absolutely no issue in lending a hand when waiters serve, in fact we were the ones constantly asking the staff to clear our table of empty plates to make space. The waiter was rude but the most rude was the female owner. She came to ask us how everything was, even before all the dishes had been served to us, so we were not in a position to provide feedback. It took almost 45 mins for the food to come out. Disappointingly, and now reflective of the service we received, the kebabs were cold and tasteless, the paneer was rock hard and the butter chicken tasted off. One of us had ordered a milk lassi, and we thought this being a Punjabi restaurant it will be authentic, but what came out was a watered version – almost looked like remnants from a yoghurt tub! When we gave feedback to the lady, she practically shouted down at us, telling us she had asked how the food was…. But she had asked when only half the food hadn’t been served… when we did tell her, she was not willing to accept the embarrassment of the food they served. She was rude and unwilling to rectify the situation. We weren’t looking to get money taken off the bill or anything, but we showed her our dishes to say, hey look, we haven’t eaten these items because they don’t taste right! But the attitude of this woman was horrible that we just paid and left! Please, if you want authentic desi food, this is not the place to go. I felt so bad booking this place for my guests as I made them all drive 40 minutes out of their way here. What a waste of our time and money! I DO NOT recommend this restaurant.

What a little gem we found off the beaten track, , we booked short notice on a busy Saturday night but were accommodated very well, , great authentic food, cocktails were amazing and strong and even took a few dishes home. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone, thank you the kokum we will be back soon

Great ambience, impeccable service and food was delicious. Best tikka masala I've ever had and the rose and lychee cocktail was amazing.

Lovely evening, great food, brilliant service

We visited for Valentine's day and were greeted with a very warm welcome, as always. The food was excellent. Indian food with lots of flavour and and twists. All presented beautifully!! We ordered cocktails, the espresso martini was brilliant and very well made. The rose and lychee martini was lovely too. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Easily the best Indian food near amersham, Gerrards cross area.

Highly recommend. Excellent meal, dishes with superb flavours. Excellent service. A new regular for us to eat in or take away.

Found this place when staying locally on business. A cut above your typical curry house. Cocktails, a 'different' menu, quality spice rather than heat and a warm friendly team eager to help. To notch!

Our first visit to Kokum but definitely not our last. Everything was excellent. Fabulous food, beautifully presented. Attentive but not overpowering service. Friendly staff. Lovely setting. The lamb in spinach was melt in the mouth, obviously really good quality meat used. Prawn starter was amazing, never had that before. We will be going back very soon. It’s our new favourite.

Just hit up Kokam at Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire and let me tell you—it's like a mini trip to India! The vibe is super cozy, with cool Indian vibes all around. From great appetizers to mind-blowing mains and desserts, they've got it all. The staff is very friendly and on point, making you feel right at home. Seriously, whether you're an Indian food pro or just getting started, this spot is a winner. Can't wait to go back for more Indian food adventures!

Top rate food Very friendly staff

Awadhi Korma - too pale, too creamy. Presentation not good, it looked like a bowl of ice cream and, even if one has a sweet tooth, it was so so sweet. However, the chicken pieces were tender and succulent, but the dish as a whole was bland and underwhelming. A shame that no veg side dishes on the menu. We had to order okra from the vegetarian main menu, which was tasty but cooked in a rich tomato sauce, not appropriate as a side dish. Main price and too large a portion. Chicken Tikka - tender succulent and generous chicken pieces. Sadly no kick to the sauce, equalled a ready meal from a supermarket. Always good service and a warm welcome, but today everything was slow, even though only one other table occupied. We chose the wrong dishes - disappointed on this occasion.

Great food, great vibe and super hospitality! Our family visited for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. We were even greeted by the chef who remembered the dishes we had ordered. Really enjoyed the personal touch and would highly recommend.

Chilled and awesome authentic Indian! If you're searching for authentic Indian food, not a typical British curry house, look no further than The Kokum. From the moment you're greeted by the wonderful hostess, you know you're in for a genuine Indian dining experience. Kokum does not tone down its flavors to cater to Western palates. The curries are rich, complex, and packed with spice. The naan bread is freshly baked in the tandoor oven and the perfect accompaniment for soaking up those vibrant sauces. Portion sizes are ample and priced fairly. The dining room decor is muted and the focus is on regional Indian cooking techniques . whether you're a fan of spicy heat or crave more tempered dishes, Kokum has an array of authentic options sure to impress. It’s our go to…

We ordered a takeaway on NYE and the quality of food was exceptional and bursting with flavours. We had Vegetarian selection of starters and mains and all dishes had distinct flavours. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the dishes we had ordered. I look forward to visiting them soon and try their Meat dishes. The takeaway was ready on time for Collection:). Thank you Arvi and Jai for a memorable NYE dinner.

This is a fabulous, relatively new, local Indian restaurant in Little Chalfont. Tucked away in Elizabeth Avenue this is definitely worth searching out. The food is different from the usual 'Indian cuisine' with a variety of unusual dishes from across the different regions of India. The staff and very friendly and the food excellent. The owners insisted on a personal welcome to customers. I am arranging to go again with a larger group.

Simply the best and most authentic Indian restaurant in the Amersham area. We have eaten in, ordered takeaways and also had a large party catered for, and each time the food has been fantastic. The menu is genuinely different and unlike any other restaurant in Little Chalfont and Amersham, plus the meat they use is free range. Strongly recommend Kokum!

If you are looking for authentic Indian food would recommend Kokum. Amazing food, warm service and great experience.

The best and only authentic restaurant in the town. If you want to experience the Indian food with the great welcoming culture, this is the place. The food was very yummy. I would highly recommend Kokum without any doubt.

Great authentic food and ambience. You should definitely try the place.

We recently dined in at Kokum, and the food was very good - the flavours were amazing, with the freshness of the ingredients coming through. The kebabs from the tandoor were succulent and delicious, while the curries had a natural heat and perfect amount of sauce. It was all finished off with the chef coming to our table and discussing the food! Would definitely recommend this as a great Indian restaurant in the area.

In a word 'Outstanding'! The chef used quality ingredients and you could taste the freshness in all the dishes we were served. Thank you chef for coming to talk to us, it was a pleasure to meet you and hear about your ethos. All the staff were very attentive and professional. We are lucky to have such a wonderful authentic Indian restaurant in our area. Only sorry we have not been sooner, but we have already booked to return.

Based on the other reviews here, perhaps we were very unlucky or it’s gone downhill but we ordered a takeaway from The Kokum last night. The lollipop chicken was very fatty and the butter chicken and tikka masala mains we ordered were both ridiculously hot!! They aren’t even supposed to be hot dishes and we couldn’t even finish them due to the heat which has never been a problem before, ever! To top it off both myself and my wife were then violently sick later in the evening and throughout the night so I can’t recommend this place at all! Be warned!!

Authentic and delicious food. The best Indian restaurant in this area. I have really enjoyed the food. Lamb and chicken were tender and fresh, and the aroma of spices was amazing. I can't wait for my next visit to try other dishes.

The food reminded me of the famous Mayfair restaurant, Tamarind, when it had a Michelin star. The flavours are deep and complex, the presentation is elegant and portions, while generous, encourage sharing - perfect for my family visit. The friendly atmosphere and attentive service were similar too, in fact the only difference (apart from price, great value!) was an absence of Hollywood star spotting, but with Bovingdon studios nearby I am sure it won’t be long until they find The Kokum too!

Had a new years eve meal in the restaurant for the first time after usually ordering takeaway. So glad we decided to sit in - beautiful place, amazing atmosphere and the food is utterly brilliant - especially for vegetarians which isn't easy to come by in many Indian restaurants!

The lal maas is absolutely amazing

Food was superb. Fully recommend the Grandma’s chicken and kayak Maas lamb.

The food was so nice and it tastes perfect also the service was great best dish was dal makhni.

Great service, lovely food, amazing staff!

Enjoyed tasty Indian food in a restaurant after a long time. It was v nice of the chef to take time out from the kitchen and speak to us for any suggestions etc. Good service and nice ambience. Would love to visit again to try other dishes as not far from work.
