   Food was excellent. Portions were good. Service was good. My primary criticism is the noise level. Crowd chatter was loud but amplified by an inexplicable music system putting out loud music that was heard over the crowd noise rather than softly behind it. Together they made conversation almost impossible and the entire experience less enjoyable than the excellent food deserved.

   Beautiful space, good food though pricey. Service not as attentive as would expect at a restaurant of this calibre.

   Disappointing and underwhelming. How they still have a Michelin star is very puzzling. There are remains of imaginative cooking in some appetizers and a few main dishes. However, most of the entries are priced for 20-30 pounds for a reason and it is indeed fair. Not bad for an average place but was below the expectations. The most disappointing service, let alone for a place that positions itself as upscale. The server had to be asked for and looked around throughout the course of the meal. She'd walk by ignoring our table many times. It took 40 min to place the food order. She just wasn't coming around to take it. We asked for water service at least 6 times. For missing silverware twice. For the bill 3 times. Half of the tables are in the basement where they pump a loud techno thump thump music - really ??? in an Indian restaurant. And with a couple of larger parties around it was hard to hear people across the table. Save your time - there are plenty of other great Indian restaurants in London.

   Absolutely delicious food, fantastic service, the atmosphere in the restaurant was great, the music was slightly not to our taste but not too loud so not obtrusive. Best octopus I have ever eaten!

   Really enjoyed the food and service was brilliant but unfortunately our table was in a very cold part of the restaurant which impacted the experience.

   Food was very nice. Service was utterly dreadful. If you’re looking for a fine dining Indian restaurant, go elsewhere!

   Good food and decent service. But lacked the premium feel in service as compared to other Indian Michelin starred restaurants in London. Nothing done by restaurant for special occasion again as compared to other similar ones

    Disappointed with the overall experience. I think they are surviving on the brand name they have made for themselves historically but the quality of food was now average, service quality was very poor, and overall ambience was too much noisy. Choose wisely, there are much better luxury Indian restaurants in town.
