When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

  • 10 Course Opheem Seasonal Tasting Menu

    Multiple dates available
    Our seasonal 10 Course Tasting Menu takes you on the full experience with us at Opheem. The menu is designed to take you on a journey through the regional Indian & International influences we utilise to create such a unique style of cooking at Opheem. This is the complete experience and what we our proudest of at Opheem. Our current menu is displayed on our website but is also liable for change as new dishes are developed.

  • Lunch A La Carte

    Multiple dates available
    Our Lunch A La Carte is perfect for those after a Michelin Star quality meal without the commitment to a full tasting experience. Curated using different courses from our tasting menus and Opheem favourites. This menu changes frequently but a sample can be found online.

    We had the most wonderful evening here for a birthday. Little touches like the birthday card made this a truly amazing evening. From the young man who greeted us, to all the staff who looked after us and meeting Aktar himself it was a special time. The chefs bought the courses out and explained each one - there wasn’t one that disappointed. Would wholly recommend.

    Flawless. From start to finish everything about it was superb. The greeting the door, when we arrived, the service throughout, the main restaurant and lounge, the wine, and the food (of course the food!), the attention to detail, all if it incredible. It was our first time (and our first time in a two star) and we’d wanted to go for ages, and we weren’t disappointed. You build it up in your mind for a long time, and it still exceeds. I could move into the lounge area and just live there forever.

    From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.

    Our third time back at Opheem, first time back since it has been awarded its second Michelin Star. WOW! The food is simply out of this world. The flavours and the just sheer brilliance of the food and experience make it the best restaurant to visit. Its a MUST!

    Wow! What a meal! That’s the first time I’ve eaten at a 2⭐️⭐️ restaurant, the whole experience from start to finish was exceptional! The attention to detail, everything was spot on. In total 16 courses of food, and I couldn’t pick a favourite! All were amazing! Opheem, thank you for a truly memorable experience
