Harden's survey result
Summary
This plush modern venue occupies a “lovely space” – a former banking hall near Kensington Palace Gardens – and is the less well-known stablemate of the vaunted Tamarind in Mayfair. It serves “beautiful” and “innovative” dishes inspired by the historic cuisines developed for royalty in Lucknow, northern India.
Summary
The forgotten sibling of Mayfair’s swanky Tamarind inspires shockingly little feedback nowadays, but all reports continue to applaud this posh nouvelle Indian, which occupies an impressive converted banking hall near Kensington Palace Gardens: “top cuisine, with excellent service, and grand style”.

“Fine dining at its best from the sub-continent” means this “roomy former banking hall” beside the Kensington Gardens Hotel is a firm “favourite Indian” for many diners – especially since ratings have recovered well after a dip last year.
For 31 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).
