Harden's says
Back almost where it all started, Asma Khan's all-female team will be once again cooking their family recipes in Kingly Street from January 2023.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Back in Carnaby’s Kingly Court, where it began in 2017, this former supper club wins praise for “excellent” Indian dishes cooked by an all-female brigade of ‘housewives’. High-profile founder Asma Khan was one of Time magazine’s ‘100 most influential people’ of 2024, and “it’s great to see her still walking the tables”. The setting, though, can seem a bit “canteen-like”; and a disappointed minority are just not sold on its performance generally (“I simply do not understand the enduring hype around this utterly mediocre restaurant. The food is simplistic, basic and just not especially good”).
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).
