"The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious. The service is outstanding and the staff is very welcoming. We are frequent patrons of this establishment. While the music was a bit too loud at first, it was quickly adjusted to a more enjoyable volume after we brought it to their attention."

"We went for a dinner with friends, we ordered salt pepper corn, chilli paneer, masala Mogo, veg samosa’s which were all edible but nothing that was outstanding, but all edible and we all ate. For mains we ordered butter chicken, shahi paneer, dal makhani and naan and nothing was really outsindong, they added juts lots of chilli powder on the dal makhani but forgot to add any butter or cream! The paneer was again the same nothing shahi about it. They did offer to make it again but we didn’t want to wait around for them to make it all again. Be aware when ordering a jug of coke or drink! It’s £12 for 3 large glasses of coke whereas the the jug is £12 and only offer you 1.5 glasses of coke! So felt a bit ripped off there! But we didn’t say anything to them about it but def not worth getting the jug! Lesson learnt not sure if rush back to eat there again as nothing really stood out"

"While the food and ambience is good, I was taken aback when after booking via OpenTable the waitress was not able to find my booking. Furthermore, she stated we don't use OpenTable and so this was not a valid booking, inspite of my showing the email confirmation and the booking on the app. Wasn't a nice start to an evening when I was taking guests over there, but the food and service thereafter was decent. Pricing is a bit high, but then it has made a name and so was packed even on a Thursday evening. Worth visiting. Perhaps book directly."

"Celebrated our anniversary today Sunday 12 September 2021 lunch time. Service was absolutely spot on. Actually the best I have experienced in a restaurant. the manager Deepak was very efficient and ran the floor with precision. All staff were friendly and did not need prompting. The environment and the decor were really good as well. The food was really flavorful.. not too big portions but to be expected of a fine dining establishment. The chef really does know how to make the food sing. Drinks and desserts were also top notch. It is not cheap but the set menus do help keep the price reasonable. My little one was made to feel comfortable as well even though not too many people would associate fine dining restaurants being child friendly although do be mindful they don't allow children late in the evening. Nice touch was a anniversary message and cake complimentary of the restaurant which was much appreciated. Definitely will visit again for our next special occasion. Good luck to the restaurant and its team."

"Me and my girlfriend came here and were pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere and decor were fine the starters were good but the meal really took off when we got to the mains. Garlic chilli and coriander naan was so tasty and portions are great plus excellent value : Staff are also really friendly and accommodating I don’t judge on uniform and decor as it’s food and service that are the most important 5/5"

"It 's such a shame the word Indian leads some people to have false expectations. Yes Hawkyns may look pricey, but only when compared to your standard Indian. This place is a million miles from standard , and the prices are sensible by fair comparison. Every single dish we have tried from the refreshingly small menu is truly exceptional in terms of skill, flavour, texture and presentation. Don 't expect anything vaguely conventional here. Expect adventurous but beautifully balanced, flavoursome dishes, at prices that compare very favourably with comparable up-market Indian restaurants in London. So why only 2 AA rosettes (and only a 4 star review here)? Well the decor is pretty basic, the service is friendly but informal and a little slapdash, the toilets are utilitarian, and the atmosphere is somewhat lacking. However if you just come for the food it really is seriously good. Highly recommended."

"Following the principle 'good ought to be sought ', we scanned through reviews here on TripAdvisor to look a good Nihari place and found 'Karachi Pakwan '. I called ahead to reserve a table and to get a 'feel ' for the service/people, it went well. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Nofel as soon as we entered the restaurant and seated. We were pleasantly surprised by the inviting ambience, warm plates, clean cutlery and spotless glasses. (You 'd be surprised how rare the last 3 are at Pakistani restaurants) Our host recommended masala fish whilst we 'd wait for our main which we thought tasted excellent. Our main, Nihari with Kulchas was served at our requested time. The kulchas were fresh and perhaps the nicest we had at any Pakistani restaurant. Nihari was good enough, albeit I did think it could have done with a bit of (fat) trimming. Regardless, the taste didn 't disappoint. We had no room to try their recommended falooda (or even a sweet paan) but we shall in our next visit. The restaurant is about 90 minutes drive from us BUT worth it. Our previous Nihari restaurant (in West Hendon) is half that distance but declining service had costed them our custom of 10 years. We shall be returning to Karachi Pakwan for more."

"I reserved a table at this restaurant after my parents, who had been here a few years ago, had praised it. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The service was the worst I have ever experienced at an Indian restaurant, and the curry was incredibly bland. They seemed to prioritize delivery drivers and walk-ins over actual diners, as we watched many people being served before us. Our food took over an hour and fifteen minutes to arrive, and by then, we were already fed up. This was by far the most flavorless and watery curry I have ever tasted. Needless to say, we will not be returning."

"Great menu! Very refreshing and different to the usual North Indian cuisine majority of the British Indian restaurants offer. Definitely try their Indian Chinese starters like chilli chicken, salt pepper prawns, veg manchurian and their cocktails! Natak’s menu beats Dishoom for us ; They have a new and excited team of waiters waitresses who take your eating plates away in a rush so a bit of service awareness missing but otherwise they’re all friendly prompt. Cannot wait to return to try their diverse brunch menu which has dosas etc."

"Shocking of a restaurant All I can say the food is overrated and its not worth the money I went with my wife, after reading the reviews. I had the chicken shawarma and my wife had Shish taouk. First of all the shawarma did not test like a tradional Lebanese dish, it had a weird texture look to it and it was a weird looking dish. All though my wife enjoyed her Shish taouk, both mains were not worth the price. Each costing with a half nan and abit of salad on the side. What a rip off, you get a small portion for that price They also charge for service charge, which to be honest should be waived off as the restaurant is already expensive as it is In all honesty we didn't get what we paid for. Been to so many restaurants and had better food and worth the price than this overrated restaurant. I hope they will change their price as well as their small and stingy portions They had a mix grill for all you get is wings, Shish taouk and lamb chop, I was like what a rip off To be honest the only thing I liked about this place is the deco and good customer service, other than that I will never come back here again."

"The menu is excellent, and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes. We had someone in our group with a gluten intolerance, but that was no issue at all. I mentioned to the waiter that it was a birthday celebration, and they surprised us with a birthday dessert, complete with a candle and a lovely note! The food was delicious, and I would definitely come back again."

"To my surprise, many restaurants are closed on Sunday evening in London. Every time I looked up a vegan restaurant on Happy Cow, it turned out it was closed. Since it was late and I was hungry, I had no other option than to select a vegetarian restaurant close by. 1947 Restaurant and Bar is both an Indian and Italian restaurant. The entire menu is vegetarian, however only around 20% is vegan. Many more meals can be made vegan, but so many of them had cheese listed as an ingredient that I didn 't want to run the risk. What if there 's an error in communication between the waitress and the kitchen? Or what if the chef accidentally adds cheese out of habit? I had lots of time to make up my mind, because even though the restaurant was very quiet it took a long time until the waitress came to take my order. I selected vegan biryani because I like biryani and because I 've tried it at so many restaurants that it 's easy to compare. It took a long time for the biryani to be prepared, but then it was served beautifully and smelled divine (as it should be). However, compared to other restaurants it 's a rather simple biryani. It has only one kind of rice (it is often served with both white and yellow rice) and only a few vegetables. There was no tofu, mushroom, potato, no nuts or any protein source. Also, the yoghurt was missing (which is used to extinguish the fire caused by the spices). The portion was generous and the taste was good. Although it was mentioned on the menu, 1947 Restaurant and Bar adds a 12.5% service tax. Why don 't restaurants just increase all prices on the menu instead of giving the customers a nasty surprise at the end?"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It was impeccably clean, and the food was fresh and served warm. The service was friendly and attentive. They offer cans of Coke Zero, which I really appreciated, and you can also enjoy unlimited refills from the soda fountain. The pakora isn’t stored in a bain marie, which helps it avoid the sogginess often found in some buffet offerings. I went in with modest expectations and left quite impressed. I'll definitely return. I primarily tried the Indian dishes and a small slice of pizza, as the Chinese selection didn’t appeal to me. They also have pasta and Thai curry, so there’s something for everyone."

"Shocking Customer Service Experience Cannot Recommend Tonight we are hosting a gathering at our home in Yalding with eight friends and decided to try Zarda after not using them for years. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. When we called to place our order, the employee who answered the phone seemed to be struggling with their system. Our phone number wouldn't register, and they couldn't find our information. Despite providing our phone number three times, the employee's tone became increasingly angry and frustrated, as if it was our fault that their system couldn't locate our details from our mobile. We asked if they could simply add us as new customers, but the employee was clearly unwilling to help and seemed disinterested in our order. At this point we have not given him any additional information to manually add us or try. We suggested trying another establishment if this is being to difficult, the employee actually agreed, which was shocking to us. We strongly recommend avoiding this place. Save yourself the trouble and choose another restaurant instead."

"Had dinner delivered from here this evening and the food was fantastic. We went in during the day to check coeliac/gluten free options and Jack went through the menu with us. There was a slight mix up with the order but they went out of their way to put things right and we were so appreciative. Will definitely be booking to dine at the restaurant soon and try more delicious food."
