The best restaurants serving Indian food in Kensington and Chelsea London

Have been here many times but the service has really gone down. Getting anything was painful. Dishoom what has happened?… I’ve visited nearly every branch. On today’s visit, this branch staffing levels were so low or poor that it was impossible to get the attention of anyone. Server was rude. When the chops arrived the meat was very fatty. The chicken curry was cold. Rice forgotten. Went to the till to pay as nobody had come to take our plates or payment off us for a while. The manager simply got out the card machine and put it infront of us without a word. A bit shocking really. I’ve always gone to Dishoom because you always know what you are going to get consistently….. where on this occasion it hasn’t happened. Amateur hour. We didn’t tip. And we don’t plan on going back.

By far, one of the best Indian dining experiences we’ve ever had. Every item we ordered was absolutely delicious, beginning with the samosas and prawns, followed by chicken tikka, venison, paneer, and lamb shank with a side of saag and naan. All items were prepared wonderfully, with a beautiful spice level and full of delicious flavors. They have certainly earned their accolades, and I highly recommend eating here.

Another fantastic dinner and great service from Joe & the team.

Friendly team and quality Indian or Pakistani cuisine

Excellent. I got the tasting menu and the food was amazing. It all came at the correct time and didn’t leave us waiting any longer than we wanted to. Wow.

Fantastic food and service. Akil was brilliant and had a great sense of humour! Would absolutely go again. Lovely atmosphere.

We live in Stratford upon Avon, a tourist town, that according to official figures has 2.7 million visitors a year. As you would expect, with this many visitors the choice of places to eat is large and varied. Sadly, the one thing that the town now lacks is a good Indian restaurant. Yes, it has about 7 or 8 but none of them are great. For two decades it had a super one, but sadly we lost that due to a new road. Wellesbourne is about ten minutes drive from Stratford. A friend of ours who lives there recommended Kolshi to us, and it proved to be a very good recommendation indeed. We went on a Sunday evening and we were pleased. There is an excellent choice of very competitively priced starters and mains, with all sorts of rice and breads to accompany them. The staff were very welcoming and the service, like the food, was good. One thing to note is that the restaurant does not serve alcohol but they welcome you to bring your own so we took a few beers with us. Parking outside the restaurant is somewhat limited, but opposite is a Shell garage, and parking in the road alongside there was fine and it was a one-minute walk. Two key questions: Will we be going back? Definitely, we already have a date in our diary. Will we be recommending Kolshi to others? Yes, we already have.

This restaurant, in the hotel, was wonderful. The food was so good, and the people working all so nice and patient explaining all of the dishes. Modest and good prices, too.

Fue una experiencia muy agradable para mis gustos. Finalmente un restaurante indio que sirve comida a la paleta india. No edulcoradas, no engañado de los sabores de la India. El Biryani de pollo tiene un gusto increíble, cardamomo, pimienta negra, perfectamente sazonada! y el pollo de mantequilla masaala es más que un simple endulzados aroma.

Madhus never fails to please! Staff are always on hand to tend to every need, and Manoosh the manager and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we was looked after thank you!

Super cozy place. Lovely food and really good service.

What a wonderful restaurant! The food, the service, the cost, and the care that the staff gives each and every diner is beyond words. Ruhel made sure all our culinary needs were met! Thank you so much and we’ll definitely come back before we leave London and will recommend The Light of India to everyone!

This was the first time ordering from this restaurant a few days ago and was disappointing. The onion bhajis were nice, the pilau rice was ok but I'm sorry to say that the Chicken Korma was not very nice. It did not smell or taste like Chicken Korma. Korma should be sweet and smooth but this curry was not sweet and not smooth the sauce was grainy/bitty very bland, not nice at all. The pieces of chicken were very small also. Will not be ordering from here again.

The most charming Indian ever! Cannot praise this place enough. The food was delicious and service was even better. Was made to feel so welcome. Didn’t feel rushed and the prices for the food were such good value for money. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. It’s BYOB and they don’t charge for corkage! They also prefer cash but can take card.

Nice food. I’ve been here a few times and the takeaways are consistently good. The restaurant itself is a bit ‘school dinner hall’ type decor, but no faulting the food or service. The decor could do with an update, and not really a place for a couple’s intimate meal, but that’s not going to stop me going back over and over again. On the takeaway front, a biryani, a side, a drink and a naan is around £20.
