Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Went inside the restaurant with my family, when one of the servers stopped us at the door. The server told us we were not welcome inside with a buggy. We explained that it was a wheelchair, and he answered that the restaurant don’t allow wheelchairs...either. Felt very discriminated against and disappointed that this happened in 2023. Luckily the indian restaurant across the street had no problem with moving a chair to make room for the wheelchair.More

Trying to make a booking with them this morning but they keep hanging up. They wait for me to say hello then put the phone down. Very odd behavior.

Booked this restaurant as a result of the high ratings. Sad to say the food was not good. I echo what other reviewers say that you can't have any alcohol but that wouldn't have bothered me that much if the food was good. London is...spoiled or good Indian options but this is unfortunately not one of themMore

Being an Indian connoisseur living in Glasgow I was pleasantly surprised to find this wee gem in London near Hyde park. Staff are first class always with a smile on their face. Food was first class!! We ordered the poppadoms and chutney tray, chicken tikka...as appetizers,mains of chicken tikka jalfrezi and pilau rice with plain nan. Quality of food was above 5 stars. I'd rate this up in my top 5 currys I have had in UK for many years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!More

We found the food warm (not hot). The staff was not friendly and the space was tiny. I like a beer and they don’t have. The waiter allowed us to order two identical dishes that were mostly potatoes. (aloo gobi and veg curry). Quite disappointing....Sept 2023. Hope they improve.More

Although the dessert was in the shape of a regal Indian edifice that's the only thing that lived up to the princely name of the restaurant. The main course was standard Indian cuisine and the service was about average. They don't serve alcohol either, which...may put some people off, though I didn't go in for a drink! Seemed a bit too formal as well though the price wasn't bad!More

Went with my kids and husband. My husband ordered the chicken tandoori and really enjoyed it. I ordered what was named a fresh vegetable curry but unfortunately the only fresh vegetable I recognised was potato. There was also some corn and limp green beans (suspect...canned or frozen) in a salty, tasteless sauce. I did not recognise the rest of the vegetables. It was disappointing. For the kids I took a Cauliflower and potato curry, it was OK. We also had a sag paneer for the table which was bland. So not really for vegetarians I'm afraid.More

The restaurant is located on a busy street with many ethnic restaurants to chose from. The space is small and very tight. The food was ok, the staff a little pushy with their suggestions or rather telling you what you should want to eat. but...the big thing to know about this place - THE DON'T SERVE ANY ALCOHOL. We did not know this until we were seated and we were all looking forward to a nice leisurely dinner with drinks. I would say if you like a cocktail or a glass of wine -pass on this one.More

First of all it’s not an Indian restaurant. If you are from North India then DO NOT go. If you are a South Indian then goto Sravana Bhawan next door. The wait is worth at Sravana Bhawan. The food was terrible, paneer was sweet, naans...were fluffy and daal was watery . The Dahl is much better in Pret.More
