From Reception to coffee at the end of the meal the staff attention was friendly, cheerful and overall excellent. The food was delicious and did not disappoint. Like Arnie, "We will be back"!

Food very nice but VERY expensive for what we had. Good service (if a little slow at times); friendly staff but overly expensive at £37 per head for a meal.

Stale food, poor service and rude waiters. Didn't like it at all. Avoid at all costs. There are plenty of other good Indian rests nearby, try them.

Must be the best Indian in the City. I have been here many times over the years and it has always been very good. Give it a try.

The food was delicious BUT on arrival we were told that we only had 90 mins at the table (this was not communicated before). I also paid a £100 deposit that they denied all knowledge off. As this was a team night out it was disappointing that it was rushed and marred with rude staff. We had previously held a Christmas party there and stayed and drunk post dinner but by the time we had finished our mains they were ushering us out. We won't spend our money there again.

The Express lunch menu was value for money, offered a great selection of starter and mains and was, as usual at The India, absolutely delicious.

Nice place. Nice staff. 20th century food. And tikka needs to be served on a hot plate to keep the flavours sizzling. But anyways why offer such ordinary food in the wealthiest neighbourhood in the UK?

Good food, but standoffish service. I enjoyed what I ate. Would go back, if I'm in the area. Don't really need a reservation for dinner.

A convenient hidden gem. Low lighting gives a cosy ambience and the service is attentive. A bit pricey, but jolly nice food - careful when ordering side dishes.

Fantastic restaurant, both the quality of food and service. The decor is unique for London but very reminiscent of Eastern Europe. And the 25% off special was an added bonus.

Fantastic food! The service was good apart from one waiter refused to do a mixed shaslick, which should have straight forward given they have lamb and chicken on the menu? Apart from that all good.

One of the best traditional Anglo-Indian restaurants in London. Well worth a visit for lunch or dinner Very atmospheric in a converted wine cellar and great service too.

As always a great night out with great food. The garlic lamb was amazing and the others in our group also enjoyed their meals. Mixed Tandoori starter is a must.

Having been here many times before we knew the quality of food would be of a very high standard as usual. It is more expensive than standard curry houses but well worth the money. Atmosphere is always good as well.

Lovely place with good ambience. Service could have been a little more friendly and attentive: for example, the wine wasn't poured when glasses were empty.

The food is excellent but there is not enough light at the tables. We had to use Iphone torches to read the menus which was difficult as there were four of us and only two phones.

Food always excellent with good atmosphere. The Goan lamb was tender and the chicken served in an open splayed pepper with thick spicy source was spot on. Will go again.

Staff were rude, service was not good. Kicked us off the table straight after we paid, some people still had drinks. Didn't take the deposit, £100, off the bill. When asked about the deposit the waiter looked like I just kicked his dog. Also the people managing the reservations didn't have a clue. Food was nice though.

very nice mixed starters. My friend said his lamb shank was a bit chewy, but tasted good. My coconut chicken curry was a bit dry, but I managed to eat most of it before feeling full up. Good sized portions. The space was nicely laid out. Attentive service, but didn't seem very happy. Overall food was good, better than an average indian restaurant.

Dear Sirs, As a frequent customer to the restaurant I am writing to you with regret as I wish to complain about the lunch we experienced today. I had booked a table for 3 persons via your website for 12.15pm in aid of a team Christmas lunch. On arrival we were seated and served our drinks etc with the usual great service. However things changed when a particularly rude waiter wanted me to order food as soon as possible. I replied telling him that I will look at the menu in a moment and he rudely responded with a comment that the table was required back at 2pm and that he is telling me to order now. I was completely taken back by this rudeness and lack of customer service by your staff. In my booking confirmation email (attached) there was no mention of a turnaround time on the table and nor did I receive any communication from the restaurant to this regard in any shape or form. I totally appreciate that at busy times like now there are limits on tables but this was never communicated and if this was the case then you should have told us in advance not once we had been seated. Further we felt we were rushed throughout the lunch and it was far from our usual relaxed lunch in your restaurant. To cap it off our table was cleared after our mains and without requesting one the bill was placed on the table – no thoughts to see if we wished any coffee or desert. The time this occurred was 1.20pm so there was still plenty of time for us to have had something. We simply paid and then went elsewhere for our deserts and coffees – I simply cannot believe how we were treated today and I believe it requires to be brought to your attention. Kind regards

Very tasty food, well prepared and spiced just right. Not too oily, as can often be the case. Nice reception, pleasant cavernous feel to the restaurant. Would recommend.

Ordered fr4om a la carte at lunchtime, food was good but rather slow to arrive. Probably better to have one of the set lunch menus
