"No doubt about it the food is first rate. Expertly cooked and well seasoned. The service is not what one would expect at a restaurant of this level (e.g. having to ask for wine list or water refill). Retaining qualified staff is challenging but the top restaurants manage that. Glass all around and close tables make for a loud and crowded environment but ambiance is clearly not a priority. If you only go for the food and not the experience it’s fine."

"First class. Food and service were superb. Truly accomplished and delicious dishes. My friend, who doesn’t really care much for food, declared the honey parfait dessert to be the best thing he’d ever eaten. I had the rhubarb soufflé, the presentation of which is hilariously risqué! The rack of Dover sole was exquisite. Lots of little treats too. The sommelier was really good even though we weren’t splashing out on wine on this occasion. Her dirty dry martinis were excellent. Overall, a five-star experience. Ambience-wise, it was a bit quiet on Saturday lunch; and it is undeniably expensive. No doubt a causal connection between those two minor quibbles. However, we both agreed that it was worth it and have spent comparable sums (or more) elsewhere for far less. The team behind this restaurant are at the top of their game: they appear to love what they do; and pull out the stops to give their guests a wonderful time. The staff were attentive and kind but not intrusive. Consummate professionals."

"The original restaurant in India is the only restaurant from India which is on the list of the World Best 50 restaurants. Their London branch is not less though. Creative dishes in a fine dining style but still full of taste. We were a group of 8 and there was not a single dish that was not excellent. Decor is simple and basic. I would have given a 5 star rating if it was not for the disjointed service which started in a welcoming and efficient way but became slow and inefficient once the restaurant got busy. It was clear that they were under stuffed. What was really disappointing and gave us an indication that the restaurant doesn’t have a concept of customer service was when we asked for an ice cream that was on the set menu. The waiter was helpful; said that it should not be an issue but had to ask the manager who rejected the request and said they will only serve it had we ordered the set menu. I don’t understand why. It was just a dessert and we were going to pay for it. It is not a big issue but would have expected more of customer service and guest appreciation. I ordered a tea and they forgot about it but they included it in the bill. Need to be careful and check the bill."

"This was the highlight of our trip, truly the best experience. Brought my mum here for Canadian Mother's Day and she loved every moment of it. The food was spectacular, the desserts were so beautiful and delicious, and the tea was amazing. BUT the actual highlight was Leo, our server. What a wonderful and kind man. He was hilarious, so kind and made the best recommendations for all three of us. somehow he knew exactly what tea we would all love the most, spot on 3 times. Thank you Leo, you truly took this experience to an 11!"

"Very nice little restaurant. Really friendly service and the food was excellent. Great pizza to start, with a charcoal dough base, it was a lot more interesting than what you get in most places. Two of us had the home made paccheri pasta with wild boar ragu from the specials menu and the other had the gnocchi. Both dishes were really good and authentically Italian. With a lovely tiramisu to finish, it really was an excellent meal. If you’re thinking of going, I’d recommend that you book in advance as it was full by the time we left."
