Everything was delicious.
The menu was labeled with a variety of codes (for vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, nut free, and gluten free), to help those (like me!) with allergies or dietary preferences. It's entirely possible to have a full vegan or vegetarian meal here. I'm surprised more reviews don't mention that. Fully vegan, the pineapple curry side dish was a standout! The service and decor are great. Lots of reviews mention this, so take our collective word for it. Sitting in the main dining room overlooking Regent Street, it felt lovely to enjoy a slow and savoury lunch whilst people rushed by below. A few drawbacks: my table expected the duck vindaloo to be spicy, and it was not. We would have liked to see the dessert menu labeled with allergy information, and it was not. We also wish the restaurant provided all-gender/non-gender binary toilets, and it currently does not. Other than that, tip-top food. Delightful flavours at London's-Oldest-Indian-Resto, with a Michelin star prices. Worth a visit.

As pretentious as this place is one would think that the food was good. In fact I would have settled on below average because ultimately the food made everyone in our party quite ill. The wait staff are reasonably kind but the doorman was a foolish clown. There are many, many very good Indian restaurants in London, this place is not one of them. Go at your own risk. Better yet, do not go.

Really nice ambiance in the restaurant! The food was really good. I did feel that the price was a little bit on the steeper side, but would definitely recommend trying at least once!

The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic with unique wallpaper and installations. The service was impeccable and the tasting menu a perfect balance of sweet and savory! A definite must for any visitor to the city.
Be the first to ReplyWe don't live in England, but visit often enough.
We make a point to come here for dinner when we are in town. We have never been dissatisfied with them. Walking in is an explosion to all the senses.

The food was prepared well and very tasty, but there wasn't anything that blew us away and justified the very high price. Our meal was extremely expensive and there wasn't anything that differentiated it from a meal that you might get at another restaurant. It felt like the restaurant was holding on to it's glory days of the past. In many ways it felt tired. It was just OK. Not worth the money.
Be the first to ReplyFor rich flavors, impeccable service, and more generous
For rich flavors, impeccable service, and more generous portions than you'd expect from a Michelin restaurant, look to Veeraswamy. The bhalla papdi chaat starter was a real standout -- a delicious and refreshing blend of textures with the wheat poori and pomegranate seeds! The restaurant itself is also gorgeous.Dined: September 2, 2021
Be the first to ReplyWe made reservations here.
First impressions, the decor is vibrant and magnificent - right from the time you get to the entrance. The service is impeccable; our server offered the best service there ever could be. Five PLUS stars for that. His lyrical tone was soothing and he helped us make some nice dinner choices. We decided to forgo drinks, did order raj kachori for appetizers along with chicken tikka. Raj kachori is not the 'khasta' kachori I envisioned it to be. Nonetheless the flavors were dynamite and the presentation awesome. The chicken tikka was good. We ordered chicken biryani with raita and chicken makhani with naan for our mains. The biryani was good and so was the makhani. The consistency of the raita was much thicker than what I am used to. Food was good but not extraordinary. I did enjoy the overall dining experience. The lively decor and the heartwarming service made it worthwhile.
Be the first to ReplyFood was good for the most part, though I was surprised
Food was good for the most part, though I was surprised that the duck vindaloo was not spicy at all. Our waiter was also great.However, I'm writing to detail out an exceptionally bad experience with the maitre d. We originally had 2 friends of ours coming with their child, and they were turned away at the door after the restaurant said they didn't accept children. I thought that strange as I checked their website before booking and saw that children were allowed. I mentioned this to the maitre d, not trying to argue the case for my friends (they had already left), but saying to them simply that their information on site was wrong. This guy starts arguing back to me, and I literally have to pull up the information on their site to get him to stop. Then his tune changes to "well, whoever booked the reservation should have confirmation of that in their email. It's very clear." I go to my email, and again, nothing there. You literally have to go to the fine print of the email, click into their FAQ to be redirected to this random other page that then says that kids are not allowed. I told him this was not clear, and he instead said, "oh it's very clear ma'am" as if I'm some sort of idiot.I didn't appreciate the attitude, won't be back. I do prefer their sister restaurant anyway.

The best place we ate in all of Europe! The ambiance is gorgeous. The service is impeccable (your water will never be empty, and you won't notice when it was filled!) Most importantly, the food was INSANE!!!! Before going into my recommendations, I will warn you, we love spicy food. If you're not a spicy-fan, be sure to ask your server what entrees are a good fit cuz WOW some of them are HOT!Appetizers:1. Chicken Momo - very spicy but incredibly good 2. Scallops - I can't opine because I don't like sea food, but my bf loved. Entree: 1. Chicken Makani (sp? It's the butter chicken) - not spicy but so flavorful and amazing. 2. Lamb curry of some sort - EXTREMELY spicy and delicious TIP - get the rice with lemon ect and not the plain basmati. The mango lassi is exceptional and a great way to cool your mouth down between bites.
Be the first to ReplyThis is reputed to be the oldest Indian restaurant in
This is reputed to be the oldest Indian restaurant in London, and also one of the very best. It more than lives up to the reputation. The ambiance is perfect, the service is impeccable. And the food is to die for! I ordered the tasting menu and had one of the very best meals I've ever had. Great cocktails, as well!! Loved this! Highly recommend.

Excellent food and great service starting with the gentleman that welcomed us prior to entering the elevator to the restaurant. Well deserving of its excellent reputation. Highly recommend if looking for an upscale Indian restaurant in an excellent location in London. Be sure to order the patiala shahi raan en croute. One of the best lamb dishes I have ever had.
Be the first to ReplyFavorite in London!! We go here every year and it's the
Favorite in London!! We go here every year and it's the best!! My uncle and I always get the biryani (in the past it's varied from the prawn, lamb, and chicken thigh but now I think they only have chicken). You have to get it with the yogurt sauce they bring on the side too!! My sister always gets their pistachio chicken dish with basmati rice and of course garlic naan for the table. We also started with crab cakes and another starter I can't remember the name. And always a side of spinach! Also, the drink you have to get is the passion fruit chili martini! Sonya is the waitress we usually try to get and she's the best! Can't wait to get back there!!
Be the first to ReplyAs told by others, the oldest Indian restaurant in London!
As told by others, the oldest Indian restaurant in London! So it was a quick yes to give it a try! When entering the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a "bouncer" and they'll want to make sure you have reservations. Once he knows that you're on the list, he'll phone the front that guests are arriving and send us toward a set of elevators to the restaurant. Once you get to the main entrance of the restaurant, someone will there to greet you and walk you to your table. As you do so, you'll notice very nice decor and ambiance. It's a very fancy place that's for sure. It's hard to recall everything we ordered since it was a large group and we ate family style, but I have to say that everything we ate was delicious. The service was on par, it felt like we had a group of personal / dedicated waiters or bus boys because they were ready for any questions or requests at a single wave of a hand. Of course, with the fancy ambiance, delicious food, and superior service, expect the bill to be a shocker. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to try the place once. It was great, but for the price, I would be happy going down the street to Dishoom.
Be the first to ReplyWith prices this high and publicity this good, you know
With prices this high and publicity this good, you know you're going to have a great experience. Tucked away in a secluded corner near Regent Street, you kind of have to know what you're looking for to find the door leading up to the restaurant. Thankfully, there is almost always a doorman dressed in fancy clothing and a light-projected sign on the ground in front of the entrance. If you're still having trouble, look for the alleyway that leads to Gaucho and the Hagen coffee shop. The restaurant itself is pretty darn gorgeous on the inside, and the secretive nature of its location adds more to the mystery that makes it one of those "special" places only the locals and well-informed tourists know about. The menus are broad, and while you're not likely to find anything "reasonably-priced" here, I assure you it's well-worth a splurge to come try it at least once. For your pre-meal aperitif, they have a gorgeous selection of high-quality wines, handcrafted specialty cocktails, and some authentic non-alcoholic beverages that go well with the food you're about to eat. Th starters range from well-known favorites like samosas and naan bread, to some lesser-known specialities that you'll need to ask your server about for the full details of why they're so popular. Given how large the menu is, they slice it up into more than just starters, mains, and dessert; they give you a wide selection of meats from lamb, chicken, and seafood, to more vegetarian-friendly options, including sides smaller dishes for the less-hungry. I can speak for the cocktails- which are perfectly prepared- the pistachio chicken which comes in a green curry sauce, the lamb shank which has a delicate sweetness, and the lemon rice which has a nice, delicate fragrance. Everything is amazing, however, at almost £5 for one slice of naan, I'd say the portions do not justify the prices. Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth it...? You decide. The flavors, ambiance, and service are all there, and if money isn't at the top of your priorities list, then nothing should stop you from indulging in this top-notch cuisine.

Portions are tiny. Deserts even tinier. Went there for my 50th. Food is delicious.

The best food in London by far! We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was absolutely perfect!The service was a bit slow but they were trying. Arnica our host was super nice and the guy outside was very attentive!

A fantastic Indian restaurant. Such a long history and a must try if you find yourself in the Piccadilly area and need an Indian fix!

Wow. First time free. Food was great but it did take a while. Seemed like staff wanted use to stay as every other table came and went while we waited. BUT food was worth it.
Be the first to ReplyI had such high hopes for this place.
The reservations are hard to get, the place has massive history, the wait staff and service was great... but somehow their food failed to impress me. The staff at the door was very friendly. They take your coats and bags to make life easier. There's an elevator to get up to the dining floor. We ordered the 3 course dinner and each of us ordered each of the three vegetarian specials - the paneer dish, malai kofta and the sampler version. The paneer was heavenly, they definitely make their own or have some specialty supplier. The malai kofta left a lot to be desired. The daal in the sampler was good. The aloo (potato) sabji was really good. The breads were out-of-this-world awesome! We ordered the dosas for starters and they were not traditional, but very nicely done. The paneer starter was delish. For dessert, we had the kalajaam, the rasmalai, and the sorbet. These were insanely good. But the portions were super tiny by any stretch of imagination. And I'm comparing them against both Indian and American portions. If I served a single kalajaam or rasmalai in a serving to my guests at home, I'd be so embarrassed!
Be the first to ReplyThe place has a water shortage! :).
Two different waiters and a manager promised it but never got it. Now you know the attention to the details in service. Great food though As an Indian, I am used to good Indian food and know good places to get it too. When I pay ££££, I expect great service too, that was lacking The Quail was good. Just like the way it should be. Lamb patiala was soft and tender.
Be the first to ReplyI'm writing on behalf of my parents and my own reservation
I'm writing on behalf of my parents and my own reservation experience. Veeraswamy is a class establishment in terms of food and service. They honored all my requests for my parents' 46th anniversary. My folks had a wonderful time. All the staff members wished them a happy anniversary, and they mentioned that the food was out of this world. I am in NYC but cannot wait to go back and eat there when I visit next year. We have collectively visited at least five times. Thank you so much for your attention to detail.

IF you looking for Indian restaurant here the best one in London, Green prawns, Chicken Makhani, and Chicken Biryani are delicious and not too spicy I did not like the Raj Kachori very much myself but to each their own.
Be the first to ReplyThis is probably one of my favorite Indian restaurant in UK.
Veeraswamy was good for our kids and we had the reservation for 5:30pm when they first open for dinner. Highly recommend earlier reservation if you have kids since they don't allow kids after 8:30pm. You should definitely green prawns as a starter and Kashmiri Rogan Josh as an entree.
