The best restaurants serving Indian food in Kensington and Chelsea London

Excellent all round, will definitely be back. Service was prompt and we were made to feel welcome. We chose this restaurant because of the good reviews and were not disappointed.

This is probably one of the worst Indian meals I have ever had. The quality of the food was terrible. The onion bhaji's tasted reheated and stale. The lamb was like tough mutton and the butter chicken and King prawn dishes looked like slop. Absolutely no effort was made in the food presentation. This is quite shocking considering this restaurant is in South Kensington. I've had better curries with better quality in food outside of London. Service wasn't great either as the first waiter missed the table and plate of food fell on the floor. Whilst clearing up, the waiter chucked the nan bread into the left over curry whilst still on the table. I don't think you would get that kind of restaurant service in a greasy spoon. We were also seated really close to the loos, which did not enhance our experience either, with the door opening and closing all the time. I used to come to this restaurant regularly about 25 years ago and thought we would try again but left quite shocked with the quality. Indian restaurants and cuisine have changed quite significantly over the past few years and I don't expect all restaurants to keep up with modern menus but they should give customers good food quality and great presentation, and sadly Noor Jahan did not come up to London standards.

We had breakfast with a friend and had a great time We had cappuccino and a very good almond brioche 🔝

The New Asia has been a feature of the Earls Court restaurant scene since the 1950s but sadly I found it wanting. I had dinner there on Saturday, 28th September and there isn't much I could recommend. First, I found the manner of the older gentleman, presumably the proprietor, to be rather offhand and not really welcoming at all. Secondly, to my surprise there was no hot tea on the menu - only cold and fizzy drinks. Finally, the plain naan I ordered was so severely burnt that it was impossible to eat. I wanted to point that out but as nobody seemed to be interested to enquire how the diners were enjoying their food, I let it pass. The main course was the only redeeming feature but even that won't make me go back.

I visited here for a quick evening meal with a colleague ahead of a lecture nearby. Service was quick bu unenthusiastic and the food quite acceptable while being unremarkable. The place lacked atmosphere but this may have been due to the time of day

Entré aquí para llevar comida para llevar en mi habitación de hotel cercana. Estaba tranquilo pero era bastante temprano un martes por la noche, así que no es de extrañar. El menú tenía todas las opciones habituales y tengo un puri de gambas para comenzar con un tandoori de langostinos y un pan de queso nam. Cuando regresé al hotel también había un poppadom gratis incluido. La comida era muy buena, muy sabrosa. Los langostinos en el tandoori eran muy grandes y muy bien cocinados. Lo recomendaría y volveremos de nuevo si en la zona.

On entering the “restaurant” we were greeted by green algae covered steps. As we were very hungry we still decided to give it a look inside. The eating area appeared clean and well kept. Being shown to our seats by a seemingly harassed Asian gentleman, apparently the owner, we viewed the menu. My good lady asked for a side dish and was told they don’t serve side dishes on a Thursday, which seemed quite odd. We ordered 3 popadoms that appeared along with a chutney tray, I ask if they chutney was free as I didn’t order any and was told “ no it was £4”. So I asked that it be taken away. This seemed to further increase the mans level of harassment. When ordering the owners attitude was very rude, even my nine year old daughter pointed out that “he was not a very pleasant man”. Hunger being the better part of judgment we ordered food. The food was very average and the chicken was obviously precooked and quite dry in a generic base grave. The vegetables were warmed up frozen veg and the £2 each chapatis were in fact wraps from a packet. We finished the food and rated it 1 out of 10. I went to pay and when I questioned the bill the owner became irate and when I pointed out the chapatis were in fact wraps he questioned how did I know? I stated that I was originally from Bradford and new what a curry and a chapati should be like. At this he admitted the chapatis were in fact wraps and said he wouldn’t charge us for them and that he too was from Bradford and new what a curry should be like. Then he asked me for my name and told me to never come back as he has a problem with people from Bradford coming in his restaurant. Quite bizarre We stated that we wouldn’t even consider coming back and that it was indeed the worst experience we’ve ever had in any eatery, ever. My advice if your hungry and this is the only place open, starve! You’ll be happier.
