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”.
Summary
“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.
Summary
“Exquisite flavours” have won renown for this spacious (somewhat “cavernous”) banking hall conversion by Kensington Gardens Hotel as “one of the better Indians around”. But marks fell a little this year, due to gripes about “hit-and-miss service” and the odd report of food that was “not as refined as in the past”.
Summary
“Stunning Indian food” wins consistent high ratings for this impressive venue, opposite Kensington Gardens. Some feel that “the high ceilings (it was formerly a bank) detract from the ambience”, but most reports say it’s “all-round great”.
