Harden's survey result
Summary
Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025, this well-established fixture serves “decent food that’s just a little smarter than average”. It has attracted plenty of useful publicity over the years thanks to high-profile patronage by politicians from both sides of nearby Parliament (Brown, Prescott, Cameron, BoJo), who refer to it as ‘the KT’. Keen Westminster-watchers will be interested to note how many newbie MPs beat a path to its door this year...
Summary
“Kowsar Hoque’s stylish Indian emporium” in Kennington, opened by his father almost 40 years ago, “continues to deliver excellent dishes which are reasonably priced for the high quality and make you feel you’re in the company of experts”… actually you are likely in the company of our less-than-expert ruling class, given that the venue has long been a favourite of MPs from nearby Westminster, including David Cameron and BoJo.
Summary
The closest thing to ‘Parliament’s official curry house’ – frequented by prominent Westminster forkmen from Ken Clarke and John Prescott to David Cameron and BoJo – this Kennington institution is run by vascular surgeon Kowsar Hoque, whose father opened it in 1985. Fans say it’s “difficult to go elsewhere when wanting an Indian dinner!”
Summary
This high-profile but “reliable” Kennington curry house has become a local institution under owner Kowsar Hoque, an entrepreneurial vascular surgeon whose father founded it 37 years ago. “It’s a bit of a club but anyone can join and will feel welcome among the politicians and media people” (former PMs Gordon Brown and David Cameron have both dined here). “Prices are a little above average but this is not your standard curry house”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
