    We celebrated birthday, usually all good restaurants offer complimentary desert, these guys did not. The food was good not great or lipsmacking. Ambience was amazing.

    I went with my husband to celebrate his birthday. The food was amazing for me (not a fan of spicy food) and my husband (a total fan of Indian food). The puri starter was out of this world. What an explosion of flavours. My butter chicken and his Sunday lamb were a feast. The dessert was very delicious and different to the usual reduced list of desserts of Indian restaurants. We had Rony taking care of us. who was an absolute pleasure to talk with. We can’t believe we managed to find such an amazing restaurant so close to Trafalgar, as we always think they are all touristy places.

    Dined here for a birthday meal and had an amazing night. When dining at upscale Indian restaurants in London, I find food and service are rarely both exceptional - one or the other usually lacks. But Colonel Saab excelled in every element - service, food, ambience were all faultless. Every single dish was seasoned and cooked to perfection. A special shoutout to our waiter, Ronnie, whose service was truly exceptional. We will definitely be back again!

    I had a fantastic dining experience at Colonel Saab! Our servers, Sooraj and Prince, were absolutely wonderful. They took the time to describe the menu in detail and shared their personal recommendations, which truly enhanced our experience. Their warm and attentive service made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The lassi was absolutely amazing—rich, creamy, and full of flavor! And the lamb chops? Uff! They were perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with incredible flavor. Every dish we tried was delicious, thanks to their great suggestions. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the outstanding service. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    Great service and food was well cooked and delicious. More on expensive side but I suppose that goes with location.
