    I was looking forward to a nice experience given the reviews I read. We were sat in a corner hidden by the bar which I am always nervous about. Then we were handed one of each menu (drink and food), which meant we were just passing the menus back and forth. After about 15 minutes they finally came and took our order so we put everything in since it was clear service was going to be slow. Drinks sat at the bar for 10 minutes getting watered down (I saw them in the service well). The starter came about 20 minutes after ordering. They were lovely. Then it went downhill. We arrived at 19:30. At 20:45 I asked where our food was as the 3 groups dining near us, who were sat after us, had already received their food. I was told it was on the way. At 21:00 the food finally came. In that time, we were never offered additional drinks / water refills, etc. no one came to inform us the food was delayed for whatever reason. I finally went to the bar and asked for a cocktail and the kindly comp’d the drink. When I got the bill that included a discretionary 10% service charge I was shocked. For £200+, we left the restaurant at 21:45, nearly 2.25 hours after arriving for what should have been a very quick meal given the speed at which every single other table was sat and departed. Sure the food was solid (nothing to compliment), the service was absolutely atrocious. Better off waiting in the line at Dishoom or trying any other local Indian restaurant. Do not recommend in the slightest.

    The tasting menu is outstanding and value for money. Each course is outstanding and celebrates 30 years of a genius chef. The service matches the high standard and Clive is a shining example of this . Must visit and we will be back.

    Our table was in the basement. Zero atmosphere. I felt like I was in a spare bedroom. I was told that all of the other tables were “requested.” Food good, Service good. But the ambience was a total killer.

    Unfortunately due to a very rowdy Christmas party in the restaurant it was extremely noisy for all the other customers. We asked if we could move downstairs when a table became available, which was promised but never happened and the members of staff which said they would arrange this we never saw again . The food was very nice but the whole ambience and general atmosphere was ruined by the large party that took over the majority of the restaurant. Very disappointing.

    This was my 5th visit to Kanishka & after a bad experience last year,thought I would give them another try. Menu has changed and although tasty & dishes cooked well,portions were small & very expensive. Service was great,much like previous visits,except for last year,though I will think twice about returning for the food,which does seem overpriced.
